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

[28]

When Zhou Jinyu realized it, she was the only one left in the outer hall, and the little bun lady had already left with the little bun.

At this time, the night was getting darker, there were no lamps, and it was so dark outside that it was impossible to see anything clearly. After the little bun girl left, the stiff voices outside gradually stopped. Maybe the old housekeeper of the princess mansion had been taken care of by Zhou Xiaoshan and the others. A few of them were kicked out, and they left in a hurry.

Ugh……!

Zhou Jinyu sighed.

He is so old, it doesn't bother him to come and get sent away again and again, why bother?

But in the final analysis, the reason why I was able to get into the eyes of this Princess Yuanzhao was because of my rotten peach blossoms, the clusters of which bloomed extraordinarily luxuriantly.

In the early years, it was not without rotten peach blossoms on her body, but because she was engaged to Princess Zheng, she used this as an excuse to block them all back.

Therefore, some rumors gradually began to spread outside, saying that she and Princess Zheng are more in love with Jin Jian, she loves Princess Zheng to death, and Ruo Shui Sanqian only takes her to drink.Some also said that Princess Zheng seemed weak, but she was actually a tigress, and she was in charge of her husband's family before she got married.

But no matter what the rumors said, it was a blessing in disguise for her in those few years, and she lived a leisurely life.Because of his engagement with Princess Zheng, even if the girls in Chang'an City had any charming thoughts about her, it was because of Princess Zheng that they gradually stopped thinking about her.It wasn't until later that Chang'an City didn't know when the news spread that Princess Zheng came to the Zhou family to retire...

From then on, when the girls in Chang'an City saw her, they all shed tears of sympathy, and stepped forward to hand over their purses to say a few words of relief.And the men in Chang'an City began to point at her behind their backs, laughing at her as a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, and didn't weigh her own identity. How can the beautiful Princess Zheng be someone like her? of.

However, the reason why she got engaged to Zheng Nishang was that she, Zheng Nishang, took the initiative to come to Zhou's house and begged Zhou's house with tears in her nose and tears, but in the end, it turned out that she was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, and she became her. In a hurry to curry favor?

There is no such thing.

But even so, she never justified anything. Anyway, after Zheng Nishang retired, she never contacted her again, and never came to Zhou's house to look for her. Even if they met on the road, they were all pretending Do not know.

Therefore, getting married is like a small episode in her life, except for the men in Chang'an City to comment and make sour tastes about her wealthy little boy, it has no real impact. .

After all, those people made her bitter, and she still felt that they were jealous of her and wanted to go crazy, but they couldn't do anything to her, so they held on to the matter of her resignation behind her back, and tried their best to discredit her. It was nothing more than painless to her.

But compared with this, the eldest princess who is so loyal to her is much more terrifying.

After dinner, Uncle Tuesday finally took his wife Jiang and son Xiao Zhoucai to leave. Needless to say, Zhou Jinyu could roughly guess that he must have taken a lot of things from the old lady.It's one thing for her to feel sorry for the old lady, but she is not from the Zhou family in the final analysis, and the blood flowing in her body is not from the Zhou family, so it is inconvenient to say more.

Just about to go back to the room, the old lady suddenly called her: "Jin Yu, don't go back, I have something to say to you."

Zhou Jinyu stopped, sat back on his seat, and smiled at the old lady sitting on the chair: "Grandma, please tell me, grandson is listening."

Because of old age, Mrs. Zhou seldom walks around, and her figure has become a little more handsome. Because of this, when she squints her eyes, she looks like a queen mother in a painting, with very kind eyebrows and kind eyes.Mrs. Zhou treats Zhou Jinyu very well on weekdays, just like she treats her own grandson. Therefore, even though she is not Zhou Jinyu's own grandmother, Zhou Jinyu treats her as filially as her own.

"Fourth, have you fallen in love with a girl from another family?" Mrs. Zhou ate the sweet soup on the table and asked her with a smile.

Zhou Jinyu was stunned, and her first reaction was to turn her head and stare at Zhou Xiaoshan behind her. Zhou Xiaoshan was stunned by her stare, and quickly waved his hands. Did that mean what he said.

Seeing this, the old lady Zhou smiled and said: "You are blaming others. I saw it myself today. Someone outside has entered your yard. Of course I want to see who it is." The smile in the old lady Zhou's eyes deepened, like He asked her in a low voice like a secret: "Can you tell grandma, which girl did you fall in love with, and you brought it home?"

"It's nothing...Grandma, don't think about it." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Zhou Jinyu simply admitted with a blushing face: "I haven't written off this horoscope yet, and I've only seen it a few times, and I don't necessarily want to let it go." Like me, besides..."

Besides, she's a traitor.And according to my own speculation, that person's status among the rebels may not be low, and if the matter is revealed, the family will definitely be ransacked and wiped out.Leaving aside whether her husband has passed away or not, even if Zhou Jinyu has some ideas about such a woman, she gradually wants to marry her and take good care of their mother and son, but before she wakes up and changes her mind, No, she didn't dare to marry before giving up the great cause of rebellion!

Ugh!

Thinking of this, she sighed heavily again.

The old lady Zhou thought that what she was embarrassing was that the girl had a son, so she said: "If she has a son, you marry her and let her bring the child to Zhou's house." The old lady took it easy He said: "Didn't your mother bring you with her when she married back then? When the child followed, she changed her surname to Zhou and regarded him as the heir of the Zhou family. He asked the husband to study for him, and then sent him to Qianlong. If you go to the temple to practice martial arts, nothing will be delayed, and the son of the Zhou family will never be sent anywhere. If your mother is not willing, let me tell her, there is nothing to embarrass."

Zhou Jinyu never expected that the old lady would say such a thing to her, and was so moved that she just wanted to give the old lady a discount on the spot. She always knew that the old lady was a person of great wisdom.

A piece of her childhood memory is missing, and before she came to Chang'an City, a large piece of it is blank, but she remembers the kindness of the old princess to her mother and son, and also remembers when the old princess made the decision and asked her mother Liu to marry into the Zhou family. what happened.

At that time, the Liu family was only a servant of the Guining Palace. Her status was low. Even if she was married as the old concubine's god-sister, she would be regarded as high-ranking when she married into the Zhou family, not to mention Zhou Jinyu, who was a fool. .

One stone caused a thousand waves. At that time, the few old people in the Zhou family's ancestral hall did not agree with them. They said indignantly how a woman like Liu was worthy of being the head of their Zhou family. Mother and son kicked out of Zhou's house!

Later, it was Mrs. Zhou who leaned on a cane and fought against the Confucianism in the ancestral hall by herself, saying that she had retired several uncles of the Zhou family, so that the Liu family could stay in the Zhou family.Later, after Zhou Gongfu, the eldest son of Zhou, passed away, it was Mrs. Zhou who made the decision and handed over the big key of the Qingfeng Year to the Liu family.

Zhou Jinyu vividly remembered all these things. Although the old lady Zhou looked confused, she was always bullied by her second son, Uncle Zhou, and was cheated out of money by Uncle Zhou every now and then.But Zhou Jinyu knew that the old lady was as clear as a bright mirror in her heart, but she was not confused at all. The reason why she tolerated Uncle Zhou's family was because the old lady was kind-hearted and thought about her relationship with Uncle Tuesday. That's all for mother and child.

Zhou Jinyu saluted the old lady Zhou again, and only said: "Grandson knows, and when the horoscope is written off, I will be the first to come and tell you, old man."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand: "Go, go back and rest."

"Hey, it's alright grandma, the grandson is leaving." Zhou Jinyu saluted again.

The old lady Zhou suddenly looked at her with a smile: "Why are you so disciplined today? I have never seen you so sensible before."

Zhou Jinyu smiled obediently, showing her small white teeth, and said, "I remembered how kind you are to your grandson, old man."

The old lady Zhou said with a smile: "You are the youngest in the family. If you are not good to you, you are good to someone. Go, go back to sleep, it's cold at night, don't sleep with the windows open."

"Yes," Zhou Jinyu nodded, and replied, "Grandson knows, then I'm leaving, grandma."

The old lady Zhou said kindly, "Let's go."

Zhou Jinyu went back to the east courtyard and lay on the bed, his mind was full of strange things, but he couldn't fall asleep.Looking at the blackness on the roof, it seems that there is a big black hole, trying to suck people in.

For a while, when Liu Shi just came to Zhou's house holding her hand, she was at a loss, with a small figure hiding behind Liu Shi, and for a while, Zheng Nishang came to Zhou's house again, crying The weak face when he unilaterally said that he was going to divorce.She kept saying that her family disagreed after hearing the news, but in fact it was because of her low status, Zhou Jinyu, and Zheng Nishang, a majestic princess, looked down on her.

It was as if she, Zhou Jinyu, had to be her, tsk, another stupid woman without self-knowledge.

Just thinking about it, Zhou Jinyu finally fell asleep with difficulty.

Wei Huanian was planning to go back to the mansion, but because it was getting late, the coachman wanted to take a shortcut to go back, so he took the Zhuque South Street, halfway through the carriage, he passed the mansion of the abandoned prince Wei Chenglu.

Wei Huanian remembered the last time she entered the palace, the queen had just told her to take time to see Wei Chenglu, she asked the housekeeper to send Wei Jingrui back to the mansion to rest, and left Wanqiu to join her in the abandoned prince, It is also the residence of today's eldest prince Wei Chenglu.

When the housekeeper in the mansion led her to the main hall, Wei Chenglu was losing his temper with the servants, and he whipped the little maidservant violently with a whip in his hand. Coughing incessantly.

While beating the maidservant, he scolded: "Even you, a lowly bastard, dare to look down on me! Ahem... bastard! You bastard! Did you send me here to piss me off on purpose! Huh?"

The little maidservant had already been beaten to pieces, she knelt on the ground and hugged his trousers, crying non-stop: "The eldest prince... the eldest prince's servant girl is wrong, the servant girl is not sent by the second prince, the servant girl is not..."

Wei Huanian looked at Wei Chenglu's current decadent appearance, how could he still be the handsome gentleman of the past, and she even heard the news from the secret guard that he was taking Wushi powder when he came in, and his temper became more and more irritable.

She sighed slightly in her heart, and stepped over the threshold: "Brother Huang, why are you so angry?"

Hearing this, Wei Chenglu stopped the whip he had just raised in his hand, and looked at the person who came, it turned out to be Wei Huanian who had arrived.

The coldness in his eyes flashed away, and turned into a flattering look, and immediately threw the whip in his hand to meet him: "Yuan Zhao, brother's good sister! Why did you come, I thought you were I forgot about my eldest brother, I have written so many letters to you, Princess Yuanzhao, and I ask you not to come."

Wei Huanian heard something in his words, and pretended not to understand, he replied: "Brother, Ah Jing has been in poor health, as you know, I really don't have the skills to do it all. I took the liberty to visit today just because I am in front of your house today. Passing by, thinking that my mother asked me to come and see you, so I came in and sat down for a while."

Wei Chenglu couldn't help laughing: "So that's the case." He came over and grabbed Wei Huanian's arm and led her towards the seat: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, since you are here, come and have a good talk with me." baby talk."

Wei Huanian was scratched and hurt by him, he frowned and refused: "Brother Huang, don't bother, I'm leaving now."

Wei Chenglu glared at her: "Where is this going? Let's go! Go talk to my brother for a while, didn't the queen mother let you come and see me?"

Before Wei Huanian could reply, Wei Chenglu's expression had already changed. He pointed at Wei Huanian with the other hand, turned his head and cursed at the servants, "A bunch of ignorant people, you can see clearly with your eyes wide open, this is His Majesty today. The most precious daughter, Princess Yuanzhao! She is different from me, and she will have a great marriage in the future, so hurry up and serve tea, and take good care of her!"

The servants trembled from his yelling, saying yes again and again.

Such an unfamiliar Wei Chenglu made Wei Huanian a little startled.

As soon as Wei Chenglu approached her just now, she could clearly smell the strange smell coming from him. She couldn't describe that smell, it was a bit bitter and pungent, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at Wei Chenglu again, there are some small red spots on his face, and his expression is also a little abnormally excited.It was already night and the air was getting colder, but he was only wearing a white undershirt with his chest exposed.Although this is in his house, since he is not afraid of the cold, it is okay to wear it like this, but in Wei Huanian's impression, Wei Chenglu was extremely afraid of the cold in the early years. He would suffer from wind and cold in winter, and he would still be cold in March. Qiu never left his body, and she laughed at him along with the other princesses back then.

In a blink of an eye, Wei Huanian was dragged by Wei Chenglu to a chair and sat down. The little maid came forward tremblingly to serve tea, but was stared at by Wei Chenglu, and almost dropped the teacup.

Wei Chenglu looked at Wei Huanian, his eyes were unpredictable, and finally asked tentatively: "Have you heard about my being scolded by my father?"

Wei Huanian nodded: "I heard about it from my queen mother."

Wei Chenglu sneered: "Sure enough, she can't hide her words, she can say everything."

Wei Huanian endured it, and finally said: "The queen mother is not an outsider. Besides, she asked me to come to see you because you didn't want to see her. She misses you and is afraid that something will happen to you."

"What could be wrong with me?" Wei Chenglu snorted coldly: "If she had thought of me, she wouldn't have backed down blindly back then, watching me being imprisoned in the clan mansion, and would not even say a word! "
