Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 24, Jing. You (1) Zhang Jingzhi x Yu Xinyou

For Zhang Jingzhi, his life can be divided into two clear parts, with the decline of the Zhang family as the dividing line.

In the first 30 years, Zhang Jingzhi was a son of an aristocratic family who was born in a prestigious family. The Zhang family has been an official for generations and has always been at the center of power, and is a real powerful family. On the other hand, Young Master Zhang was intelligent and prudent since he was a child.

The first 30 years of Zhang Jingzhi's life were unbelievably smooth. His grandfather and father became Prime Ministers of An Xia before and after. It is unceremonious to say that Zhang Gongzi in the capital is more prestigious than Xiao Yiran, who is a prince.

However, Zhang Jingzhi himself is not very satisfied with such a life. He always feels a little lacking, but there seems to be no other better choice than to follow the established life trajectory.

Of course Zhang Jingzhi doesn't do the kind of thing that leaves his good family background and runs out to ask for trouble. Smart people are always better at taking advantage of their own advantages.

Not only Zhang Jingzhi himself felt inadequate, but his father, An Xia Prime Minister Zhang Bi, also had many worries about his son.

Occasionally Zhang Bi would look at his son with a look of pride and a hint of worry.

If it were a peaceful and prosperous world, Zhang Bi would have no doubt that his son would one day reach the pinnacle of power and become famous in history. But born in such a world, Zhang Jingzhi's character is actually not very advantageous. In the turbulent times, neither a humble gentleman nor a resourceful noble gentleman can make Zhang Jingzhi stand at the forefront of this era.

What this era really needs is a hero who can change the world.

People like Fu Fengcheng, Long Yue, Song Lang.

People in this era will only follow heroes and are more willing to make friends with them.

People like Fu Fengcheng Long Yue can run against each other, laugh, scold, and even fight each other, but in the face of Zhang Jingzhi, they can only politely call Zhang Gongzi.

That's the difference, and politeness itself is a kind of alienation.

It is actually very difficult for a noble son like Zhang Jingzhi to enter the social circle of these heroes who are fighting **** the battlefield and holding military power.

However, Zhang Bi did not wait for this hidden worry to become a stumbling block for his son's progress, because the Zhang family collapsed before that.

Because of Zhang Zuo's relationship, even if Zhang Jingzhi and Zhang Bi did their best to turn the tide, the Zhang family was inevitably excluded from the center of power. The best result is just to keep the safety of the family. Zhang Zuo disappeared, Zhang Bi resigned, Zhang Huizhi went south to study, and Zhang Jingzhi sat on the bench in the capital.

The Zhang family didn't fall behind, and Zhang Jingzhi's time in the capital was actually not as sad as outsiders thought. In addition to going to work step by step every day, he is reading in the study and thinking about his future.

The change in the attitude of outsiders is also a new experience and growth in itself for Mr. Zhang, who has been noble since childhood.

Until one day, he finally knocked on the door of his father's study.

"Father, I want to go to Yongcheng." Zhang Jingzhi stood in the study and said to Zhang Bi who was sitting behind the desk.

Zhang Bi raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not reject Zhang Jingzhi's idea, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Jingzhi nodded, "Yes."

Zhang Bi asked: "Tell me what you think, why did you choose the Fu family?"

Zhang Jingzhi said, "In my opinion, the Fu family has the best chance of winning, and now only the Fu family can tolerate me."

Zhang Bi was silent for a moment, then said: "The four northern provinces and the northwest are not necessarily bad. Long Xiao and Song Ye will still give me this face."

Zhang Jingzhi shook his head and said, "Father, this time I want to go by myself. The Dragon Governor and the Song Governor will indeed give me a position for your sake, but you also understand that I have very limited choices."

Zhang Bi raised his head and stared at him and said, "Then you should also understand that with the current situation of Zhang's family, you won't have any good jobs if you go to Yongcheng. Fu Zheng and his son are indeed compatible. However, the six southern provinces themselves are full of talented people, and they can't let you replace any important position. Maybe you will be no different from sitting on the bench in the capital. In addition... You are really working under the hands of Master Fu. Are you ready?"

Of course Zhang Jingzhi understood what his father meant. Not long ago, Young Master Zhang was still someone who could be on an equal footing with the eldest son of the Fu family. Now it is necessary to travel thousands of miles to seek a life on other people's sites. The psychological gap in this can be imagined.

Zhang Jingzhi smiled, "Father, I think clearly. In addition... I don't want to go to Fu Dujun and Fu Shao."

Zhang Bi frowned slightly, "Then what do you mean?"

"Mrs. Fu Shao."

This time Zhang Bi really changed his face, "What did you say?"

Zhang Jingzhi sighed and said, "Father, at least in the past ten years, no matter where I am, I will not be reused. No one wants to see the Zhang family rise again, and no one wants to see another Zhang family. ..."

Zhang Jingzhi swallowed the name that came to his mouth and continued: "Mrs. Fu family is different. She is not so sensitive around her, and I think...she shouldn't mind this."

Zhang Bi took a deep breath, "What can you do with her? I know Mrs. Fu Shao has a lot of property in her hands. Are you going to be the accountant for her?"

Zhang Jingzhi is not as heavy-hearted as his father, and smiled lightly, "Anyway, I can't do anything in the past few years. I have been in the capital since I was born. , it's okay to go to the bottom to see. Father, our Zhang family is not born to be rich, so let's just... start over."

This time Zhang Bi was silent for a longer time before finally sighing and saying, "Forget it, in the end, it was the Zhang family who delayed you. Since you have already made up your mind, you can do it yourself."

"Thank you father. My father made a mistake. The Zhang family did not delay. Without the Zhang family, where would there be Zhang Jingzhi?" Knowing that his father agreed, Zhang Jingzhi was also slightly relieved.

"I really don't need to tell Fu Zheng?" Zhang Bi asked again.

Zhang Jingzhi shook his head, "You don't need to trouble Dujun Fu for this trivial matter."

"Then you go."

"Yes, father." Zhang Jingzhi turned to leave the study, and when he reached the door, he heard Zhang Bi's voice behind him, "Jingzhi, do you really not know where your second uncle went?"

Zhang Jingzhi looked back at her father, with a faint smile on her lips, as if she was apologetic, "I'm sorry father, I really don't know."

Zhang Bi let out a long sigh, "Go ahead and be careful when you go out."

"I know, thank you dad."

Zhang Jingzhi walked out of the study, stood under the eaves and looked up at the sky, a weak and beautiful but strong figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

Yu Xinyou.

She seems to have also gone to Yongcheng.

Zhang Jingzhi doesn't really want to see Yu Xinyou, he believes that Yu Xinyou also thinks similar to him.

Although they have known each other since childhood, Zhang Jingzhi has always regarded Yu Xinyou as a family friend who needs to be taken care of.

But now...

It's always a little awkward to meet two people who know each other's true colors and secrets.

Master Zhang also needs to walk in the world in the image of his elegant and noble son.

Yu Xinyou also needs to maintain the appearance of her weak, strong but harmless daughter in front of her father.

Except for a very small number of people, no one knew that they all had murderous intentions in their hearts, and in the end they really stabbed their relatives and teachers with murderous blades.

Zhang Jingzhi went south to Yongcheng smoothly, and it was a pleasure to work with Leng Sa.

In a very short period of time, he has become an important person around Leng Sa. Of course, this important use is probably a joke in the eyes of those who have been in the capital. The son of the Zhang family was reduced to the point where he went to the Fu family to manage the property for Mrs. Fu Shaofu. How could he not be embarrassed?

During his stay in Yongcheng, Zhang Jingzhi had hardly seen Yu Xinyou much, and it was the summer of the second year of Daxia when they met and talked again.

In the summer of the second year of Daxia, Zhang Jingzhi was ready to return to Jiazhou after attending Long Yue's wedding.

Because of the war in the northwest and southwest of the past two years, Jiazhou has once again entered the eyes of many people as a transit place for various materials and Zhang Jingzhi as the main person in charge of this central operation.

Although Zhang Bi's help and guidance are indispensable, Zhang Gongzi's ability is also obvious to all. Sometimes getting the logistics of an entire battlefield going is often even harder than winning a battle.

After the war, Zhang Jingzhi did not take the opportunity to return to the officialdom, but still returned to be the general manager of his Fu Group.

At the end of last year, the war in the northwest was basically settled, but the status of Jiazhou did not decrease, but became heavier.

The original Jiazhou area and the entire southwest area were not divided up by each family, but instead formed a new area that at least nominally belonged to the official capital of Beijing Daxia. As the commercial and logistics center of this region, Jiazhou has naturally become more important.

Therefore, Leng Sa set up a branch in Jiazhou. Zhang Jing had several jobs and had to travel between Jiazhou and Yongcheng frequently.

After attending Long Yue's wedding this time, Zhang Jingzhi did not return to Yongcheng. After sending his sister to the train back to Yongcheng, he boarded the direct train to Jiazhou.

"Young Master Zhang?"

"Miss Yu?"

Zhang Jingzhi stepped into the first-class carriage and saw Yu Xinyou sitting at the table leisurely drinking tea. Yu Xinyou was obviously a little surprised, and he was stunned for a while before slowly putting down the teacup before smiling at Zhang Jingzhi.

Zhang Jingzhi: "Is Miss Yu going to Jiazhou or Northwest?"

Yu Xinyou smiled and said, "Going to Jiazhou, my studies have been completed ahead of schedule, and I just got a new job."

"I thought Miss Yu would go back to the capital." Zhang Jingzhi walked over to Yu Xinyou and sat down. After all, Yu Chengyi is now the president, and it is much more convenient for Yu Xinyou to return to the capital than to go outside.

Yu Xinyou said: "I also thought Master Zhang would return to the capital."

The two looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence in such a slightly awkward atmosphere, they both laughed in unison.

Yu Xinyou sighed lightly: "Actually, we don't have to be so rusty, right?"

Zhang Jingzhi thought it was a little funny. They had known each other for at least ten years, but they called each other the most unfamiliar.

"You're right, so... can I be called by your name?"

Yu Xinyou generously stretched out her hand and smiled, "Of course, Jingzhi, please take care of me in Jiazhou in the future."

Zhang Jingzhi reached out and shook her, and looked at Yu Xinyou somewhat unexpectedly, "Xinyou, you seem very different from before."

Yu Xinyou asked, "What's the difference?"

Zhang Jingzhi said, "It looks...more energetic." Yu Xinyou looked too weak in the past, and it always made people worry that she would shatter when touched.

Yu Xinyou said, "Previously, Mr. Hua gave me some medicine again, although I still have to take medicine regularly, but in the past two years, my health has really improved a lot, otherwise my father would not worry about me being out alone. Maybe it’s because I run outside a lot, but it’s not that easy to get sick. Speaking of which, Jingzhi has also changed a lot.”

Zhang Jingzhi was a little curious, "Oh? Where have I changed?"

Yu Xinyou thought about it for a while, then smiled, "Maybe it has become more... approachable? There is no sense of distance like before, and it is more like a living person."

While chatting and waiting for the train to start, the embarrassment I thought did not appear to have appeared.

The atmosphere gradually became much more relaxed. The train slowly pulled out of the station. The topic of Zhang Jingzhi and Yu Xinyou had changed from their two-year life and work to the gossip of Long Yue and Jun Xi.

The two expressed their amazement at the speed with which Long Shao held the beauty, and their "worry" about the future of Junxi, who seemed a little innocent.

Marrying a man with a deep heart like Long Yue, Mr. Junxi's future may not be the same as she imagined.

With rhythmic chirps, the long train drove towards Jiazhou in the bright sunshine.
