Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[fifteen]

That night, Zhou Jinyu had another nightmare. In the dream, the fire would never end. She saw her idiot father burned to death, her grandmother with bound feet burned to death, and her second uncle and aunt burned to death. , and her unborn nephew.

She cried and shouted, but it was of no avail, she could only watch them burn to ashes one by one in the fire.

In an instant, the overwhelming fire was about to rush towards her, and she sat up suddenly, sweating and soaking her underwear.

is a nightmare.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhou Xiaoshan knocking on the door outside: "Fourth young master, are you okay, I heard you shouting outside, am I having a nightmare?"

Zhou Jinyu took a breath, and then said hoarsely: "It's okay, I'm having a nightmare, go and rest."

Zhou Xiaoshan responded with 'yes', and then there was the sound of Zhou Xiaoshan walking away gradually.

Zhou Jinyu couldn't sleep anymore, the candlestick on the table was almost burnt out, she got out of bed, went to the table and poured a cup of herbal tea, swallowed it all in one gulp.

She sometimes wonders what is the use of living in this world.

what's the point?

Grandma is dead, so is father, second uncle and second aunt, and her unborn nephew, all of these people are dead.

Sometimes she wondered why the fire didn't kill her too?Why leave her alone?Isn't it just for revenge?

But how to take revenge?

I thought that I would be able to enter the imperial court and compete with that person in the first year, but in the end it was nothing, and I got the title of a flower hunter, and in the end I had to send it to the Queen's Palace in the name of a consort to be selected. to recharge.

But even if he enters the court, so what? The second brother is also in high school, but in the end, he is no match for the filthy and dirty activities in the court, so he can be a part-time job in the Ministry of Industry?

The only fortunate thing is that A Niang also survived the fire.

Yes, she also has a mother.

After all, one will not live alone in this world.

But what about my mother?

Do you still remember the big fire that day?

Judging by her attitude in today's words, and since she came to Zhou's house, she never mentioned anything about Niu's Village, I'm afraid she has forgotten all about it.

"It's okay to forget... It's okay to forget..." She sat on the chair, her eyes were blank, and she murmured like a walking dead.

Forget it, at least she won't be in pain day and night like her, and she won't be unable to sleep at night.

How great.

So, if she forgets, just forget it.

On the second day, the little prince Sun Hao came to Zhou's house for dinner again.

Zhou Jinyu's mother, Liu's family, had already gone to see the shop in Qingfengnian. Her third sister, Zhou Linger, invited a few younger sisters out to enjoy the flowers. Together, we went out to find the handsome young master.

The Zhou family only left Zhou Jinyu and her grandma, the old lady Zhou, who liked the young prince Sun Hao very much, because his mouth was always sweeter than Zhou Jinyu's. They yelled 'Grandma' and 'Grandma', even closer than Zhou Jinyu.

Mrs. Zhou was coaxed into giggling by his jokes, she changed the subject, and suddenly remembered something: "I said, little prince, you are about to get married too."

Zhou Jinyu was overjoyed, and burst out laughing at the dinner table with a 'puchi'.The young prince Sun Hao glared at her, then turned to Mrs. Zhou and said, "Old lady, Xiao Wang is still young, and my mother is helping me make arrangements."

The old lady Zhou turned her eyes 'liu yo' and asked him: "What do you think of my third girl?"

Zhou Jinyu couldn't bear it anymore, she almost spit out a sip of tea with a 'poof', she clutched her stomach and laughed.

You must know that her third sister, Zhou Linger, is notoriously savage and willful. She and Sun Hao can't hide on weekdays. Who would have thought that Mrs. Zhou would actually take a fancy to Sun Hao and want to recruit him as her grandson-in-law.

Sun Hao couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly said: "Well, old lady, Xiao Wang is already full, and I have something to do with Jinyu, so I won't accompany you for now."

As he spoke, he stood up from the chair very quickly, pulled Zhou Jinyu's arm and walked out. Zhou Jinyu was pulled by him, holding his stomach and laughing, and followed him out the door.

"You're still laughing!" The little prince Sun Hao stopped and said angrily, "Why are you laughing? I'm going to be in trouble and you're still laughing!"

Zhou Jinyu broke free from his shackles, and then asked with a smile: "What's the matter? My sister Ling made you so afraid?"

"It's not about Sister Ling!" The little prince Sun Hao was furious, but finally calmed down, and said seriously: "The news is correct. Next month, the Great Jin Dynasty will use troops against the Northern Desert Khitan."

The corners of Zhou Jinyu's originally hooked mouth relaxed instantly, and he asked, "Huh?"

"Alas!" The little prince Sun Hao sighed, "Do you know who is most likely to lead the troops on the Khitan side?"

Zhou Jinyu pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at the young prince Sun Hao and laughed: "Looking at your anxious appearance, could it be that the leader of the Khitan army is your own brother-in-law, and the fourth Khitan prince, Yelu, can't be covered?"

Sun Hao was shocked, but seeing Zhou Jinyu making fun of him in an unhurried manner, he said angrily: "You guessed it and still mocked me like this, I am going to be in trouble! My elder sister is the fourth princess of Khitan. You know the matter, my status is already embarrassing, if the fourth prince Yelubu leads the army again, will His Majesty let me go? Guining Palace will surely die."

Zhou Jinyu smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case."

Sun Hao was taken aback for a moment, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Zhou Jinyu hooked his fingers to him in secret: "Come here with your ears."

The little prince Sun Hao did as he did, and quickly turned his ears to one side and stretched his head.

Zhou Jinyu whispered in his ear: "If you agree to marry my sister Ling, I will tell you—hahahaha!"

The little prince Sun Hao knew he was being tricked by her, so he raised his hand with a black face and was about to hit her. Zhou Jinyu dodged his palm in an instant, and retreated five steps away.

Sun Hao knew he couldn't beat her, so he didn't bother to do it again, he just said: "If you want me to marry your sister Jia Ling, you might as well just kill me."

Zhou Jinyu said aggrievedly: "Sister Ling will be angry after hearing this."

Sun Hao lowered his head and thought for a while without speaking, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Finally, he raised his head and said very seriously: "Jinyu, you know that the status of Guining Palace is very embarrassing now. If it was in the first few years, maybe I married your sister Ling, and she married you. I still have a good life when I come here, but with my current status here, I might lose my head one day, and I can't let your sister Jialing come and follow me in fear."

"En." Zhou Jinyu replied, how could she not know what Sun Hao said?

It's just that if she remembered correctly, she remembered that Zhou Ling'er had told her a few years ago that she liked Sun Hao.

But after Zhou Ling'er mustered up her courage and expressed her heart to Sun Hao, she was flatly rejected by Sun Hao.From then on, Zhou Ling'er never mentioned Sun Hao again, and her temper became more and more surly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu stopped talking about Zhou Ling'er, stepped forward again, and in a blink of an eye had lost that carefree face: "It's easy to understand what you said, but... it depends on your little one." Does your lord have the guts?"

Sun Hao hurriedly said, "What? Say it quickly!"

Zhou Jinyu said: "The next time you enter the palace, you just need to tell His Majesty that you want to go out with the army, but if His Majesty really wants you to go out with the army—"

"That's right!" Sun Hao slapped his forehead and interrupted her: "Why didn't I think of that! This way, I can show the emperor that I am loyal to Dajin in Guining Palace, Jinyu, how did your head grow? The two of us At the same age, how can you be so much smarter than me?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head, and spread his hands proudly: "My mother gave birth to me like this, what can I do?"

The excitement on Sun Hao's face was beyond words, and he hurriedly said, "Please go to Baoxiang Pavilion to have fun later, brother, take a step first, and we will talk later."

After he finished speaking, he stopped greeting Mrs. Zhou, and walked quickly to the gate of the mansion.

Looking at his hurried back, Zhou Jinyu thought of how dangerous the battlefield between the two armies was. It must not be something that the little prince, who has been pampered since he was a child and has a passion for serving the country, can bear it.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly, and stared at the half-thick pillar beside her for a while, the smile in her eyes finally turned into helplessness.

Just as Sun Hao left, Zhou Xiaoshan suddenly ran over from the end of the corridor in a panic, shouting, "Fourth Young Master, it's not good! Fourth Young Master! It's not good!"

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

Why did Zhou Xiaoshan keep yelling this sentence every day? It made her ears feel callused.

When Zhou Xiaoshan approached, Zhou Jinyu said, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Xiaoshan panted heavily, pointed to the direction of the mansion door, and said: "It's not good, young master, the butler of the Princess's mansion is here again, and he said he knew you were in the mansion. You are not leaving!"

When Zhou Jinyu heard it, he thought of the eldest princess who coveted her beauty!

"It's okay!" Zhou Jinyu shouted, "Why hasn't she finished it!"

Zhou Xiaoshan answered: "This little one doesn't know either."

"I didn't tell you!" Zhou Jinyu said angrily: "I came here once and was sent away again. Is there an end? Why is she so unreserved as a girl? Isn't it because the consort has already fixed Feng Weizhi? Then why do you come to provoke me? Could it be that she still wants to hug left and right, three husbands and four servants?"

Zhou Xiaoshan didn't dare to show his air, so he just listened to Zhou Jinyu chanting alone.

The more Zhou Jinyu thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally she didn't catch her breath, and she simply said to Zhou Xiaoshan: "Let's go, let's meet the big housekeeper of the Princess Mansion!"

She walked quickly all the way to the gate of the mansion, and sure enough, she saw an old man in black cloth with a goatee, smiling and talking to the gatekeeper in front of the gate.

Seeing Zhou Jinyu coming out, he looked him up and down for a while, and then bowed his hands and said: "I think this is Mr. Zhou, right?"

Zhou Jinyu stood still, raised his eyebrows and looked at him indifferently: "What is the old man doing?"

The old housekeeper smiled and said, "Don't you invite the villain into the mansion on Thursday?"

Zhou Jinyu stood in the middle of the mansion gate and blocked the door: "You just say it here."

The old butler was not angry either, and said kindly: "The princess sent the villain here for the sake of my young master. As soon as the teacher at the mansion left, the princess heard that the young master on Thursday was the first year's Tanhualang, so she went to see her." I sent a villain here, wanting to let Mr. Zhou come to the mansion, and give the young master of my mansion the post of master, I wonder what Mr. Zhou wants?"

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

Good you shameless eldest princess!If this plan fails, another plan will be used!

Do you think I, Zhou Jinyu, am a fool?When I forgot so quickly that you called me over to the house in the middle of the night?

Zhou Jinyu held her breath, and suddenly remembered the matter of Mrs. Zhou covering her heart and pretending to be sick yesterday. She remembered that every time Mrs. Zhou pretended to be sick, there would be chaos in the house, and even her mother Liu's Nothing to do.

Thinking of this, she covered her heart and was about to fall to the ground.

Zhou Xiaoshan stood by her side, quickly supported her, and said in a panic: "Fourth young master, what's wrong with you, fourth young master!"

Zhou Jinyu winked at him secretly, and said very "weakly": "Ah... I'm afraid I'm going to have a heart attack, please call the doctor, I think I can't breathe now, maybe I'm going to die... "

Zhou Xiaoshan understood immediately, and hurriedly shouted: "Come quickly, please doctor, quickly, the fourth young master is ill! Please quickly call the doctor!"

The guard at the gate was dumbfounded when he saw this, and he was still wondering, when did the fourth young master, who has always been so lively, have a heart attack?

But they still obediently took Zhou Jinyu's arm from Zhou Xiaoshan's hand, and were about to walk into the mansion.

The old housekeeper hurriedly called to her: "Master Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Jinyu drooped his eyes, grabbed the skirt of his chest and sighed: "Mr., you have also seen that I have a serious illness. When it rains on cloudy days, it hurts my heart. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the princess mansion this time." .”

The old butler was taken aback: "Oh? Is that so, Mr. Zhou is in good health, right?"

Zhou Jinyu was very playful for a while, and said very sadly: "Oh... who can say for sure about this kind of thing, you also know that heart disease, medicine and stone have no effect, whether it can be cured or not is another matter. I only hope that I can live a few more years, don't die young."

The old housekeeper nodded, regretting that Zhou Jinyu suffered from such an incurable disease at such a young age: "Then...Thursday, sir, I will give you a good diagnosis and treatment, and I will come back another day."

"Don't! You better not come some other day!"

Zhou Jinyu suddenly yelled, feeling that something was wrong, and quickly weakened again: "I...cough cough...I have this kind of disease, how can I be a teacher for the young master of your mansion? You still go back to the eldest princess, Don't let me go anymore."

The old butler thought for a while, remembering what Zhou Jinyu said just now that her heart hurts whenever it was windy and rainy, but he really couldn't figure out what the heart attack had to do with the weather.

But seeing Zhou Jinyu's dying look, he finally nodded and hurried back to the princess mansion to report to his life.
