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

[Fives]

Regarding the fact that Zhou Jinyu is a woman, no more than three people in this world know about it, and she sometimes has a dream.

She dreamed that in the past, she and her mother still lived in that dilapidated small village called Niujia Village in the south of the Yangtze River. In the small village, there was a foolish father who was good to her, and a grandmother with bound feet who was careful about everything.

Even though she followed her mother and remarried to the Zhou family, the home of the richest businessman in the capital, and changed her surname to Zhou, and her stepfather Zhou Gongfu who was still alive treated her very well, but she felt for a long time that Zhou No matter how good the family is to her, it is not her family. Only those in Niujia Village are her real family.

Until the fire that followed, everything was annihilated in an instant.

Waking up from nightmares countless times, the people in the dream are so vivid. In the dream, her idiot father walked more than ten miles to the town just to buy her a bunch of candied haws that she likes. The grandma, who has always been stingy and worked hard to save money, gave her all the goat milk that she used to drink to nourish her body.

Thinking about it now, everything in the dream that made her nostalgic had already left her.

"What do you call that! If it weren't for the kindness that the old concubine gave to our mother and daughter that day, you and I would have starved to death in the snow in the capital!" Liu's face was stained when he heard Zhou Jinyu's rude words. A little angry.

Zhou Jinyu came to his senses and smiled quickly: "Mother, my son didn't say that the old concubine is bad, it's just that if I'm really a 'son', that's all. But the point is that I'm not a 'son'. Then tell me, I How does a girl's family run for the Eldest Princess' son-in-law?"

Liu Shi coldly "hummed" and said: "The old concubine just handed your portrait to the palace, and there were so many portraits of princes and ministers who were sent to the palace at the same time, so it may not be possible to choose you."

Zhou Jinyu looked embarrassed: "But the son is so handsome, the eldest princess may not like it."

Liu Shi: "..."

Liu Shi suddenly had nothing to say.If one is talking about talent and morality, Zhou Jinyu's temperament is really hard to be a son-in-law, but if it is about appearance...

Her 'son' really deserves the words 'Looking better than Pan'an'.

If you look at it this way, everything becomes unknown again, and the heart that she just let go of a little bit is brought up again.

Zhou Jinyu lowered his head and muttered: "Anyway, no matter whether the eldest princess is suitable for me or not, I will never agree, not to mention, she has a five-year-old illegitimate son. Grandma won't agree to a woman who is in good order!"

"Presumptuous!" Angry, Liu slapped the table, glared at Zhou Jinyu and said, "Where did you hear these nonsense."

Zhou Jinyu said aggrievedly: "What's the use of this? I heard people say that no one in Chang'an City knows that the eldest princess Wei Huanian has an adopted son in the mansion. Her adopted son is raised in the mansion on weekdays and no one is allowed to see her. Like something. Adopted son, adopted son, sounds good, it must be her own!"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Liu was really angry now. She turned around and wanted to touch the cane near her hand to beat her, but suddenly remembered that this is the rice shop, not the Zhou's house. Jinyu's rattan.

When Zhou Jinyu saw that Mrs. Liu wanted to slap herself, she was naturally afraid, and said quickly: "Mother, I am thinking about the reputation of the Zhou family. Everyone thinks that the eldest princess is a sweet potato. If you marry her, you can marry the emperor." Become in-laws and soar into the sky, but I don't care about these things."

Liu looked at Zhou Jinyu for a while, then suddenly sighed, feeling that what she said was not unreasonable.He said: "This matter will be discussed later. The old concubine sent someone to deliver a letter this morning and invited me to the palace. She said that the sleeves of her robe that she attended the palace banquet the previous year had a tear and asked me to mend it. Taking advantage of this In the meantime, I'll go to the palace to find out what's going on."

In Zhou Jinyu's impression, Sun Hao's mother was a very good person, except for one thing. One of the old princess' hobbies in her life was that she liked to talk about marriage with her, although she shirked them all.

But as Liu said, if it weren't for the old concubine's life-saving grace that day, she and her mother would have been frozen to death in that icy and snowy scene.

Back then, she and her mother fled from Niujia Village to the capital, almost starving to death on the way. Thanks to the old concubine, who was the side concubine of Guining Wang, rescued their mother and son on the way back home, and brought them back to Beijing. the palace.

Although Zhou Jinyu's mother, Liu Shi, is only a village woman, she is knowledgeable in books and etiquette, and is proficient in embroidery, so the old concubine left Liu Shi in the palace to do some needlework for her on weekdays.Later, it was also the old concubine who made the decision to marry Liu's family to the richest businessman in the capital, the head of the rice shop in Qingfeng Nian, Zhou Gongfu.

That is, her short-lived stepfather.

The eldest princess, Wei Huanian, is the eldest daughter of the current Emperor Tianshun Emperor Wei Jian, because Wei Huanian was born to the empress and also the first daughter of Emperor Tianshun, so she was naturally favored and given the name Yuanzhao, and she was given the palace building early. government.

In Princess Yuanzhao's mansion, the eldest maid Wan Qiu was standing by her side, and all the servants in the room had already been driven out by her.

Wei Huanian frowned slightly, and asked Sun Guoxu, the head of the Imperial Hospital who was wearing a black robe official uniform and lived in the fifth rank, "How is Ah Z?"

Sun Guoxu tremblingly cut the pulse of the young master Wei Zrui who was sitting on the soft bed in front of him, stood up, and saluted Wei Huanian: "Princess Hui, the young master's pulse condition is stable, and his body is fine, no different from before. .”

Wei Huanian frowned and remained silent.

"There is no difference? Doctor Sun, please take a closer look. Today, the princess and I saw the young master reacting to an outsider. He understood what the person said and nodded to that person. Why is there no difference?" Already?" Wan Qiu asked Wei Huanian in place of the question.

"This..." Sun Guoxu was in a real dilemma. Every time he was called to the Princess Mansion by the Eldest Princess, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. After all, this young master in the Princess Mansion was no different than ordinary people.

He has practiced medicine for decades, and has never seen such a strange disease. Children in ordinary families can usually make sounds at the age of one and speak at the age of two, but this young master Wei Zrui is different. He has already When he was five years old, he still didn't say a word, and he didn't even respond to outsiders.

Other than that, everything works fine.

This would embarrass them, the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital, and as the head of the imperial hospital, he dared not refuse to come when the eldest princess's mansion had an order.

"Princess Chang, I have already diagnosed you again and again, and the young master's pulse condition is indeed the same as usual, nothing special." When Sun Guoxu replied, his voice was trembling.

Wei Huanian pondered for a while, and finally said: "Of course I believe you, it's just that when I took Ah Z to Qianlong Temple today, I met someone, and Ah Z could indeed understand what that person said."

"This..." Sun Guoxu frowned and said, "If you think about it carefully, it's probably a coincidence. When I was checking the young master's pulse just now, the young master didn't respond to the minister, so I thought—"

"Is there no other possibility?" Wei Huanian interrupted him.

Sun Guoxu was taken aback, thought for a while, and said another possibility: "Perhaps, the problem is not the young master, but maybe the person who can communicate with the young master. The humble minister is incompetent, really I have never been cured of such illnesses, so there is nothing I can do right now, wait for Wei Chen to return to the imperial hospital to discuss with other imperial physicians, and then I will give you an answer to the princess."

Wei Huanian was thoughtful, and replied, "I know."

Sun Guoxu cupped his hands and said: "If the princess has no other errands, I will leave first."

Wei Huanian's eyes signaled to the eldest maid Wanqiu: "Send off to Doctor Sun."

Sun Guoxu hurriedly said: "Don't dare to bother Miss Wanqiu, my minister will resign, my minister will resign."

Although he refused to let Wan Qiu see him off, Wan Qiu still sent him out of the mansion. Before he got to the mansion, he stuffed him with a bag of money. Sun Guoxu didn't dare to refuse, so he took the money and put it in his wooden box. in the box.

When I returned to the room in late autumn, I saw Wei Huanian feeding the young master Wei Zrui with water. With slender fingers, Wei Huanian held a small wooden spoon, scooped out the water in the bowl, and fed it to Wei Zrui. mouth.

Wei Zrui's eyes were dull, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Wan Qiu sighed softly. Her princess was worried about this young master, and she couldn't do anything after inviting so many "miracle doctors". Now the young master is five years old and looks like an ordinary child. Anyone who looked at his fleshy little face would feel happy, but...

Well, it's just...

She was about to close the door and want to exit, but she heard Wei Huanian calling her, "Lan Qiu, come in."

"Hey, here we come." Wan Qiu walked into the door and stood aside in a dignified manner, waiting for orders.

Wei Huanian said: "The young man I met in Qianlong Temple today is called Zhou Jinyu."

"Zhou Jinyu?" Wan Qiu was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "It seems to be called such a name, princess, you remember it really well."

Although Wan Qiu just followed her words, Wei Huanian thought of going elsewhere.She paused, and said: "The young man has repeated it so many times, even if he doesn't want to remember it, he will remember it."

Wan Qiu frowned and said: "It's true, but that person really doesn't look like a serious person, just a little white face, it's annoying to look at."

Wei Huanian said: "Find her and bring her to the mansion."

Wan Qiu said in surprise: "Princess, you don't really listen to what Sun Taiyi said, even if the mistake of Zhou Jinyu can make our young master react, but maybe it's a blind cat who has touched a dead mouse, maybe At once……"

Wei Huanian interrupted her, and said firmly: "Even so, Ah Z finally has some hope, and I will give it a try."

Even if ten thousand people were unwilling in late autumn, they could only agree: "Yes, princess, I will send someone to find out whose family he belongs to."

"Celebrate the harvest year." Wei Huanian said firmly.

"Ah?" Wan Qiu was taken aback.

"Chang'an East Street Rice Shop, Qingfengnian, you send someone to find out if there is someone like Zhou Jinyu." Wei Huanian said.

Wan Qiu said: "Yes, this servant has recorded it."

After receiving Wei Huanian's order, Wan Qiu immediately left the room and ordered the guards in the mansion to go to do some errands. After the order was finished, she saw a servant running towards her all the way around the flower garden.

Shouting while running: "Miss Wanqiu, Miss Wanqiu."

Wan Qiu reprimanded: "What are you shouting for? Girl, I'm still alive, so I just listen to you shouting here."

The young man bowed his waist and hurriedly made amends, and then said: "The empress of the palace has passed down a message, and she wants to announce our master into the palace."

Wan Qiu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Have you inquired, what's the matter?"

The servant said: "I don't know this little one. I asked the little eunuch who sent the message, and the little eunuch only said that it was a very good thing. The slave didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly came to tell you that the carriage in the palace is already waiting. caught."

Wan Qiu said: "I'm going back to the master now, you should bring the father-in-law a cup of tea first, don't neglect it."

"Yes, little one, let's go!"
