Zhen Jiang, the daughter of Shangcai Ling Zhen Yi, is a descendant of Zhongshan Zhen family.
Zhen family is a famous family in Jizhou, with a distinguished family background and many of them are officials.
Zhen Yi has three sons and five daughters. The eldest son died young, and the other two sons were selected as filial and honest officials.
Among the five daughters, the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang, the second daughter Zhen Tuo, the third daughter Zhen Dao, the fourth daughter Zhen Rong, and the fifth daughter Zhen Mi are all talented and beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered. Zhen Mi is Cao Pi's wife, Empress Wen Zhao Zhen.
I didn't expect to meet the eldest daughter of the Zhen family after coming to Yecheng!
Looking at the person in front of him, Zhang Chen couldn't help but be a little stunned, and his heartbeat seemed to speed up a little.
This young lady of the Zhen family is really stunning!
If you can have such a confidante by your side, wouldn't it be a blessing in life?
Zhen Jiang saw Zhang Chen staring at her all the time, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush. The maidservant saw this and immediately shouted, "What are you staring at my young lady, you lecher? If you look again, I'll dig your eyes out!"
"Jinxiu!"
Zhang Chen smiled faintly and said frankly, "Young lady is so beautiful, like a goddess. I lost my composure for a moment and offended you. I'm Zhang Chen, with the courtesy name Zifan, from Guangping. May I ask your name?"
Zhen Jiang was secretly delighted when she heard Zhang Chen say "beautiful, like a goddess". Her cheeks flushed slightly, and two red clouds flew up. She lowered her eyebrows and nodded, showing her shyness.
Beauty is more attractive when she is shy.
The maid named Jinxiu shouted: "How dare you! You lecher, do you think you can find out my lady's name?"
"Jinxiu! Don't be rude!" Zhen Jiang came to her senses and said to Zhang Chen: "My daughter Zhen Jiang greets you, sir. Please forgive me for my rude behavior."
"No, I was the one who was rude first and bumped into the lady." Zhang Chen said, "The lady is the daughter of the Zhen family in Zhongshan?"
Zhen Jiang was slightly startled and said, "Do you know my family?"
"Zhen family in Zhongshan is a famous family. Who in Jizhou doesn't know it?" Zhang Chen said, "The Zhen family has been officials for generations and is a noble family. There are many. The current head of the family, Zhen Yi, was once the magistrate of Shangcai. It is said that the two sons of the family have now been selected as filial and honest officials. I think their future prospects will be limitless. "
"Humph! That's right." The maid named Jinxiu said with a proud face, puffing her mouth: "My son is a dragon and phoenix among men, how can a lecher like you compare?"
"Jinxiu!" Zhen Jiang tugged at her clothes and said, "Don't blame me, my lord, this girl can't talk. We have something to do today, so let's say goodbye first and meet again if we are destined to."
Zhen Jiang said, and hurriedly pulled Jinxiu and left in a hurry.
Zhang Chen looked at Zhen Jiang's back and couldn't help but smile.
It was getting late, and it was time to go back to the prefect's mansion.
Just after taking a step, he suddenly seemed to step on something. Looking down, he saw a light green jade pendant on the ground.
Zhang Chen picked it up and saw that the jade pendant was as warm as water. It was obviously made of top-quality material. The patterns on it were delicately carved and the workmanship was very exquisite. Only wealthy families could own it.
There was also a "Zhen" character carved on the jade pendant. Could it be that Miss Zhen had just dropped it?
Zhang Chen was about to find Zhen Jiang to return it, but when he looked up, there was no trace of the two of them.
Forget it, I will return it to her when we meet in the future.
Zhang Chen had no choice but to put the jade pendant into his waist and walked straight to the prefect's mansion.
...
At the east gate of Yecheng, a luxurious carriage had been waiting here for a long time. The driver looked at the sun and looked towards the direction of the city.
Not long after, Zhen Jiang and Jinxiu walked quickly.
The driver came up to her and said, "Miss, you are back. If you were any later, you would not be able to reach the town ahead before dark."
"Hmph! It's all because of that scoundrel I just ran into!" Jinxiu said as she lifted the curtain.
"Scoundrel?" The driver was startled, "Miss, you..."
"Jinxiu, don't talk nonsense!" Zhen Jiang said as she got on the carriage, "Some small things delayed us. Let's hurry up."
The driver was confused and did not ask any more questions. He just stepped on the carriage, threw the reins, and drove out of the city.
In the carriage, Zhen Jiang closed her eyes and rested quietly. Jinxiu on the side said: "Miss, it's such a long way. You can just ask the servants to do such a small matter as collecting rent. Why do you have to go there in person?"
Zhen Jiang said: "My father is in poor health, and my two brothers have official duties. As the eldest daughter in the family, I should share more of the family affairs."
"Miss." As she was speaking, the driver said outside: "Miss, we have been delayed for a long time. I am afraid we will miss the place to stay if we take the official road. There is a small road ahead that can be faster. Do you want to go?"
"Let's take the small road."
"Okay! Go!"
The driver threw the reins and drove straight to the small road.
Zhen Jiang closed her eyes and continued to take a nap.
"You... who are you! Ah!"
Suddenly, a cry came from outside the carriage, the carriage braked suddenly, and the inside of the carriage shook suddenly, waking up Zhen Jiang and Jinxiu.
"What's going on?!" Jinxiu asked.
The driver did not answer, but the curtain was lifted by someone, and a man leaned in.
The man was tall and burly, with bulging muscles all over his body, a full beard, and a fierce look. What's more strange is that the beard on the left side of his upper lip is surprisingly long, hanging down to his chest and abdomen.
Jinxiu glanced and saw that the driver had been thrown into the grass beside him, and was lying on the ground at this moment, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Outside the carriage, there were more than twenty burly men, each holding a long knife, wearing a cloth robe, and looking fierce.
The two were shocked when they saw this. Zhen Jiang trembled and said, "Who... who are you and what do you want to do?"
The man who poked his head in saw Zhen Jiang and Jinxiu, and immediately showed a lecherous smile and said, "Hey, brothers, look, there are two such beautiful beauties here!"
As he said that, he stretched out his strong arms to pull the two.
"Bold!" Zhen Jiang shouted, "This... this is the carriage of Zhongshan Zhen family, you... you dare to rob it, do you know the rules!"
When the man heard "Zhongshan Zhen family", his expression suddenly changed.
Zhongshan Zhen family is a famous family in Hebei. The family also has business industries and needs to travel to various places for business. These bandits never dare to provoke the rich and powerful families, which has almost become an unwritten "rule".
The man thought for a moment, looked at the two of them, and said with a little reluctance, "If you say it is true, then it is true. What evidence do you have? If you can't show it, you will go back with me today and become my wife!"
Zhen Jiang was so frightened when she heard it that she trembled all over and said hurriedly, "I have the Zhen family jade pendant as evidence. My father said that the jade pendant is the Zhen family's token, and everyone in the black and white world knows it!"
The man was shocked when he heard it.
He did know that Zhen used the jade pendant as a token. If she really took it out, he really couldn't touch her today!
As Zhen Jiang said this, she reached out to touch her waist.
However, this touch made her face change drastically.
The jade pendant was gone!
"This... this..." Zhen Jiang couldn't help but get anxious, "It was clearly there just now, how could it be?"
The man saw that she couldn't produce any evidence, and immediately became lustful again, saying: "Young lady, what's wrong, can't you produce it? Hahaha! Brothers, take it away!"
"Wait! My jade pendant must have just fallen in the city. Come back to the city with me, I will definitely find it for you!"
"Hahaha!" The man laughed a few times, "Young lady, are you stupid or am I stupid? If I let you go back to the city, wouldn't that be a trap for me? Brothers, take it away, tonight, I want to have a wedding night! That little one will be given to you! Hahaha!"
