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

[37]

On the second day, the entire Zhou Mansion was in full swing, and even the Liu family postponed the time to celebrate the harvest year. After all, today is Zhou Jinyu's big day to accept disciples. She reads, so Liu Shi naturally knows how much ink she has in her stomach, and it is more than enough for Xiao Baozi to be a master.

The reason why the Zhou family attaches so much importance to the ceremony of apprenticeship is that the child is the first disciple Zhou Jinyu has accepted in his life, so it is naturally more solemn. Those who are "masters" will naturally have a heavier burden on them. Now that they have accepted it, they will naturally take on an extra responsibility.

Therefore, after breakfast was finished after dawn, Mrs. Liu ordered the servants to clean the courtyard, waiting for the arrival of Wei Huanian and his mother and son.

It was as if Zhou Jinyu's disciple and his mother were being greeted instead of Zhou Jinyu's new daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Liu stood in front of the door directing the servants to work, and naturally ignored what the people in the old house said about Zhou Ling'er being brought back to Zhou's house by the fourth son.

Zhou Jinyu curled her lips: "Mother, what are you doing, why do you make it look like Chinese New Year?"

Mrs. Liu glared at her, and said, "What do you know! That kid is your first disciple, and he will be in our Zhou family for the next year, so I naturally have to be more serious, so that Ms. Yuan can take a look at us. The attitude of the Zhou family can also reassure her."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Of course she will rest assured. You can see how delicious the little bun comes to our house to eat. He can eat whatever he wants, and he is not picky at all."

After listening to her words, Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered something, and said, "You said that child, Ah Jing, is rare for the food in our house? Then when you eat at noon, you go to the cellar to see the meat jelly I made years ago and what else is there?" Well, see if the kid likes it or not."

Zhou Jinyu looked at Liu Shi suspiciously: "Mother, why do I feel that you are happier than me when the little bun comes to our house?"

Liu Shi was startled, then glared at her again: "Why am I happy, I'm not all because of you!"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "All right, you are right."

Half an hour later, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the Zhou Mansion, and Wei Huanian led Wei Jingrui's men to get out of the carriage.

The gatekeepers led the way and brought Wei Huanian and Wei Jingrui into the Zhou mansion.

When Zhou Jinyu saw Wei Huanian, he originally wanted to be reserved, but the little bun was still the same for thousands of years and suddenly rushed towards her. She instantly opened the corners of her mouth and laughed very sincerely. She hugged the little bun Ask him: "Last time I saw that you seem to have grown taller. Did you really grow taller? But you didn't lose weight? Your mother didn't give you meat, did she?"

Little Baozi blinked, and Zhou Jinyu nodded knowingly no matter what he meant, "Oh, it's true that your mother won't give you meat, but it doesn't matter, you will have a master in the future Alright, Master will give you some meat."

The little bun blinked again.

Zhou Jinyu was happy: "All the meat in our house is yours."

The little bun put his arms around Zhou Jinyu's neck, and Liu Shi and Wei Huanian stood on one side, watching their interaction, Zhou Jinyu walked into the inner hall with the little bun in his arms: "It's a bit windy early in the morning, everyone, don't stand around Alright, let's all go inside."

A group of people entered the outer hall, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhou sat at the main seats, and Zhou Jinyu sat with Wei Huanian, holding the little bun in his arms.

Zhou Jinyu picked up the candy-stained fruit on the table and gave it to Xiao Baozi. Xiao Baozi took a bite and put it in Zhou Jinyu's mouth, meaning to ask her if she wanted to eat it.

Zhou Jinyu shook his head and patted his head: "I eat it by myself, you can eat it by yourself."

But the little bun still put the candy on Zhou Jinyu's mouth and insisted on it. Zhou Jinyu had no choice but to take a small bite, and the little bun was satisfied, and took the candy back.

After the little bun finished eating the fruit in his hand, he looked eagerly at the plate on the table. There were still three pieces on the plate. Zhou Jinyu asked Wei Huanian who was sitting next to him: "I'm just wondering, you spend so much money, so you can always be 500 taels, why don’t you even feed the little bun?”

Wei Huanian: "..."

Zhou Jinyu said again: "Every time I see him, he looks very hungry. Last time when I was in Qianlong Temple, I felt that something was wrong. Why did the good boy give him chicken legs as if he had never eaten chicken legs? Just put it in your mouth." As she said, she glanced at Wanqiu who was behind Wei Huanian: "It's not the servants of your family who ate the little buns while you weren't paying attention."

Wan Qiu suddenly: "...??"

Why does Mr. Zhou like to spout blood this week!

If you doubt it, doubt it. What do you see me doing?

Seeing that Wei Huanian didn't speak, Zhou Jinyu thought he had guessed right, and said, "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. I also encountered this kind of thing when I was in the palace before. Mammy took advantage of the old prince's absence to treat her harshly, and then my mother set up a trap, allowing the old prince to witness the evil deeds of the slave, and the old prince punished the slave immediately, which made the concubine at the time The old concubine let out a bad breath."

Having said that, Zhou Jinyu glanced at Wan Qiu again.

Wan Qiu couldn't take it anymore, and quickly said to Wei Huanian: "Master, slave..."

Wei Huanian knew what she was going to say, so he said, "I know your sincerity, so there is no need to say more."

Zhou Jinyu said, "Tsk, you know people, you know their faces, but you don't know your heart."

The last time at Qianlong Temple, when she said that the little bun might not have had enough to eat at their house, this girl was so angry that she jumped up and said she hadn't done it?

Wanqiu: "...??"

When did I offend this master!Why did he criticize everything he said today, and it was all aimed at himself?

Wan Qiu was on the verge of crying, and only begged this master not to provoke the princess.

Zhou Jinyu asked Wei Huanian: "Tell me, am I right or not?"

Wei Huanian couldn't help but said, "Yes, I also think what Young Master Zhou said is very reasonable."

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Right? The little bun is obviously a very edible cub, but he is so thin, who doesn't feel bad when he sees it?" Zhou Jinyu vowed: "But the little bun is handed over to me. Don't worry, I will feed him well and let him grow into a fat cub."

Xiao Baozi was originally concentrating on eating candy, but when Zhou Jinyu said the words "fat and fat", he didn't know what to think of, and immediately refused to eat.

Seeing this, Zhou Jinyu quickly coaxed him: "No, no, even if my little bun grows more flesh, he is still the prettiest little bun, and the most handsome little bun in Chang'an City!"

As expected, the little bun was willing to continue eating.

Seeing this, Wan Qiu didn't care about Zhou Jinyu's suspicion of her just now, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wei Huanian also said with a smile in his eyes: "Then there will be Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jinyu said with some embarrassment: "It's okay...it's okay...."

Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Zhou and asked, "Mother, do you think this apprentice ceremony can start?"

Mrs. Zhou has been sizing up Wei Huanian's future granddaughter-in-law since Wei Huanian came in. At first glance, she is indeed dignified and courteous, and she is a good person.

The old lady Zhou said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's start, so you can go to celebrate the good harvest."

Liu Shui responded, and said to Wei Huanian, "Miss Yuan, what do you mean?"

Wei Huanian also nodded and said, "I'll listen to you and the old lady."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou smiled and nodded to Wei Huanian, and she was even more satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.

Liu finally asked Zhou Jinyu, "What about you?"

Zhou Jinyu also followed Wei Huanian's example, and said with a chuckle, "I listen to Auntie and Grandma, as well as Little Baoziniang."

When she said these words, it seemed to be a joke, but in fact, the last sentence was somewhat true and false, so why couldn't Wei Huanian hear it.

Wei Huanian pretended not to hear her last sentence, got up with normal expression, came to Zhou Jinyu, and hugged Wei Jingrui from her arms. Now Wei Jingrui was very obedient, and did not let him leave Zhou Jinyu as usual I have to tell him several times.

Wei Huanian asked Wei Jingrui to stand on the ground, facing Zhou Jinyu, and then Mrs. Liu gave him a wink, and immediately someone brought up a futon and put it in front of Wei Jingrui.

Another servant brought over a cup of freshly poured tea, and Wei Huanian took it and held it in his hand.

Although the ceremony was very simple, Zhou Jinyu who was sitting on it felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. It was the first time in her life that she was a master for someone else, and it was also the first time that she drank the tea that her disciples offered to the master.

So she became nervous. When Xiao Baozi knelt down in front of her very obediently, she thought in her heart that such a well-behaved little Baozi would be her disciple in the future. Doesn't Little Baozi Niang also come every day?

It's so close to the water, with beautiful scenery on a good day, wouldn't it be...

The little bun raised the teacup above his head and suddenly brought back her wandering thoughts. The little bun was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, and raised the teacup above his head, offering tea to Zhou Jinyu.

Zhou Jinyu was afraid that he would fall, so she took it quickly, but the teacup was obviously not hot, but her hands were shaking unbearably, the teacup in her hand was trembling, she hurriedly lifted the lid of the cup, took a sip and quickly put it back on the table.

Zhou Jinyu finished drinking Xiao Baozi's respecting teacher tea, stepped down from the chair, helped Xiao Baozi up, patted his head, and said in a serious tone: "If you come to my door, I have only one requirement for you."

It was rare for Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhou to see Zhou Jinyu's serious look, so they naturally wanted to know what she was going to say, while Wei Huanian was also watching, and Xiao Baozi also blinked, showing that he was listening to his master's teachings carefully.

Zhou Jinyu pretended to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, and said, "Our goal is to be admitted to the number one scholar and shine in the family!"

When she said this, she actually meant for Little Baozi's mother to hear. After all, Little Baozi is a big traitor. If her son worked hard to get the first prize, maybe she would be able to turn his back on the dark side.

Zhou Jinyu thought that Little Baozi's mother would frown when she heard what he said, but unexpectedly, she smiled and asked Little Baozi: "Did you hear what Mr. Zhou said, can Ah Jing be admitted to the top prize?"

Zhou Jinyu patted Xiao Baozi's head, and asked him, "Can our little Baozi be the champion?"

Wei Jingrui blinked, looked at Wei Huanian for a while, and then at Zhou Jinyu for a while, lowering his head as if to sigh slightly.

Then he reached out and picked up a piece of candy on the table and ate it.
