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

[94]

Wei Huanian gave her the jade pendant, explained a few more words, and then left.

Zhou Jinyu wanted to ask him to stay, but she didn't know why she wanted to keep him. She stood up with Wei Huanian, opened her mouth for a long time, and finally said: "Be careful all the way."

Wei Huanian originally had a smile on his lips, intending to listen to what she had to say, but seeing that she didn't say anything after all, he just said: "Don't be afraid tomorrow, just work hard."

Zhou Jinyu's legs trembled, he squeezed his hands, gritted his teeth firmly, and said calmly, "I'm not afraid."

If Wan Qiu was here at this time, she would definitely laugh at her loudly, why are your legs shaking if you are not afraid?Why are you so nervous?

Wei Huanian had a panoramic view of her little movements, and said with a smile, "Okay."

Zhou Jinyu sent her to the gate of the mansion, and said reluctantly: "You go back quickly, it will be dark if you go back later."

As soon as Wei Huanian came out of the mansion, the carriage parked not far away drove over and stopped in front of the Zhou Mansion. Wei Huanian said warmly to Zhou Jinyu: "Okay, go back quickly."

Zhou Jinyu pursed his lips, his eyes full of reluctance, and he let out a nostril: "Mmm."

Wei Huanian: "..."

With her appearance, who would be willing to leave.

But even if Zhou Jinyu was reluctant, Wei Huanian still left after all. Zhou Jinyu watched the luxurious carriage disappear at the end of Xiyan Street, she sighed and went back to the mansion.

Speaking of tomorrow's imperial examination, Zhou Jinyu was not nervous at first, but since she went to the Ministry of Rites and heard the group of people muttering behind her back to arrange her, although she didn't care on the surface, but She just couldn't hear the sour looks of their group, so she felt that she should definitely beat them once to convince them.

But if she really wins the No. [-] Scholar tomorrow, will she steal Feng Weizhi's limelight? But thinking about it again, it is probably impossible for the No. [-] Scholar to pass the exam. After all, Emperor Tianshun will definitely for the face of Feng Weizhi, a prospective son-in-law, She will definitely not let Feng Weizhi lose face.

She originally thought that it would be good to be the second place in the exam or the No. [-] candidate. After all, if she passed the exam by relying on her strength, the group of people who only know how to criticize her behind her back will naturally shut up.

but……

Now, Little Baozi's mother asked her to try her best to become a champion and set a good example for Xiao Baozi. As a result, she suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders suddenly increased, and she lost the previous good attitude that everything was under control.

But fortunately, the plum blossom jade pendant given by the little bun lady was still there. When she saw this jade pendant, it was as if she had seen the little bun lady, and the uneasiness in her heart was a little less.

Back in the room, I put a tassel on the jade pendant, hung it around my waist, and went to the bronze mirror to look left and right. I was not satisfied with several poses, and the jade pendant hanging on my waist had been changed along the belt After several positions, he finally felt that this jade pendant was not suitable for hanging around his waist, so he simply untied the tassel, then found a red string and tied it around his neck.

She hung the jade pendant close to her chest, well, she is satisfied now.

The next day came in a blink of an eye. Although Zhou Jinyu didn't want the Zhou family to trouble her, the old lady Zhou ordered her servants to prepare breakfast for her, and even asked the kitchen to prepare it for her. I bought some snacks and asked her to eat with the Shanggongyuan, lest she would get hungry while writing.

Zhou Jinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained to Mrs. Zhou: "Grandma, they are not allowed to bring these into the tribute courtyard. You should let the kitchen put them in the kitchen, and I will eat them when I come back."

The old lady Zhou was very resolute: "No, you are not in good health and you get dizzy easily. What if you faint from hunger in the Gongyuan?"

Zhou Jinyu explained: "Grandma who doesn't know how to do this, the exam will take two hours before and after, so my grandson won't faint from hunger. Besides, there will definitely be a doctor present in the Gongyuan today, just in case of emergency, so grandma, don't worry about me , let Linger sister play two bamboo leaf games with you, and grandson will come back."

Liu's obviously became more rational, but said to Zhou Jinyu: "Just do your best."

Zhou Jinyu nodded and replied with a smile, "My son will."

Liu Shi paused, and said: "After this scientific examination, no matter whether you succeed or not, it's time to arrange your marriage."

Zhou Jinyu was startled, marriage?Marriage with Little Baozi?

Zhou Jinyu nodded, and a smile almost overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "Okay, son, thank you mother."

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu sent Zhou Jinyu to the carriage, and the two women returned to the house. There was still a while before Mrs. Liu went to celebrate the harvest year. At this time, all the people in the whole house were still lying in bed except Zhou Linger. Besides, everyone else followed Zhou Jinyu up early and tossed and tossed the whole morning. In fact, the genius had just come to light at this time.

Mrs. Zhou asked Liu Shi: "Daughter-in-law, do you need to think about the matter of getting married for the fourth child?"

Liu replied, "Mother, what do you mean?"

The old lady Zhou sighed, and said: "The previous Princess Zheng came back to withdraw the marriage right after the engagement, and bullied our Jinyu family, I'm afraid—"

"Mother, there is nothing to be afraid of," Liu said with a smile, "you just put your heart in your stomach, this Miss Yuan is not like Princess Zheng's kind of vain girl, she has her own ideas in her heart, Jin Yu also Like her, marry her, she is also happy."

Mrs. Zhou heard what her daughter-in-law said, and the faint uneasiness in her heart was pressed back into her stomach. After getting along with her for a few days, she felt that Miss Yuan was a good girl, but she always felt that this girl had a lot of thoughts. Too deep, my fourth child might suffer.

But in the end, the fourth child still likes it, so if he marries, he should marry it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou finally stopped worrying about this matter, she frowned, and asked with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, come and play a game of bamboo leaves with me."

Liu Shi: "..."

Who in the entire Zhou mansion didn't know that the old lady was very good at playing bamboo leaf opera, except for Zhou Jinyu who was willing to coax her, who would dare to play with her?

Moreover, there is another difficulty in playing bamboo leaf play with her, that is, she must not be able to spot the intentional release of water, otherwise the old lady will get angry, and Zhou Jinyu is the only one who can do this.

Liu groaned secretly in her heart, and found a reason to refuse: "Mother, I still haven't finished reading the account book, I have to go to see it again, you wait for Jin Yu to come back and let her play with you."

After Liu finished speaking, she called out, "Zhou Cheng, let's go to the study."

The old housekeeper, Zhou Cheng, understood immediately, and followed Mrs. Liu out the door, leaving only Mrs. Zhou pouted and angry like an old urchin.

"When will my good grandson come back?" He said unwillingly: "Why is everyone like this, so what if you play a bamboo leaf show with me!"

Zhou Jinyu entered the Gongyuan, and it was not yet time to enter the examination room, so all the candidates were still waiting outside. Zhou Jinyu looked around, but did not see Zhang Lu's shadow, thinking to himself , Is this person not coming?

In fact, she really felt sorry for Zhang Lu. The reason why she was so impressed with Zhang Lu in the first autumn exam was that the boy who pointed out in the exam room that the invigilator helped other students cheat, his stubborn eyes were still in his eyes. She couldn't get it out of her mind.

I don't know if Zhang Lu still remembers that when Zhang Lu was kicked out, she took the lead in making a fuss.However, although she spoke for Zhang Lu, none of the judges in the audience was willing to stand up. Zhou Jinyu was so soft-spoken that he was almost kicked out by the invigilator immediately, but then an official happened to pass by and spoke for her. After a few words, it's over.

In fact, she was still looking forward to Zhang Lu's coming, but she waited until the Gong Yuan was almost closed, and when other candidates entered the examination room one after another, she didn't wait for Zhang Lu to come.

But what she didn't know was that at this time, in a narrow alley not far from the Gongyuan, the young scholar was surrounded by a few rogue-like servants, who beat him with sticks.

Zhang Lu was greatly encouraged by Zhou Jinyu's words yesterday, he immediately decided to fight hard, and what Zhou Jinyu said was right, don't bully the young and poor, he will definitely be named on the gold list this time, so he returned to his residence, After tidying up myself, I went to the Ministry of Rites.

But today, he had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that he would be surrounded by Master Tian's people again. Someone kicked him in the mouth. The force was too great, and one of his teeth was kicked out on the spot. The face is also painted.

But he was not reconciled, even if he climbed, he would climb out of here.

Just because that person said to him: He believed in him.

However, the people sent by Mr. Tian are still beating him indiscriminately, it seems that this time he must be beaten to death before he is reconciled.

The sunlight in the sky was so dazzling that Zhang Lu felt that he could barely open his eyes. The words of that gentle and jade-like young man seemed to ring in his ears again.

I believe you.

you can.

but.

Zhang Lu smiled wryly, thinking, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you now.

In the tribute courtyard, the examiner was already urging.

"Aren't you going to take the exam? Why are you hanging around outside! Go in quickly, the door is going to be closed!"

"Kao Kao Kao, my lord, I'll go in right away, please let me take another look, I still have friends who haven't arrived yet."

"Is there a friend who hasn't arrived?" The man said helplessly: "The door will be closed soon, and even if he arrives, he won't be able to get in. You can go and test yours at ease."

Zhou Jinyu stretched his head again, and looked out unwillingly. There was nothing outside except the empty streets.

Zhou Jinyu thought, Zhang Lu might not come.

Thinking of this, she sighed, turned and entered the examination room.

"Hey, Zhou Jinyu, it's you again?"

As soon as Zhou Jinyu entered, she heard someone calling her name.

Or how could it be said that Yuanjia Road is narrow? When Zhou Jinyu looked up, he suddenly saw Liu Zaiyang, the invigilator of Qiushi the previous year.

The last time she fought for Zhang Lu, she offended Liu Zaiyang completely, so why is he the invigilator this time?

The imperial court doesn't even consider changing individuals?

Fortunately, there were three other unfamiliar examiners in the examination room at this time, and one of them, who was a little younger, came over and asked, "Master Liu, do you know this examiner?"

Liu Zaiyang sneered and gritted his teeth: "I know him, I know him even when he turns into ashes!"

The young examiner was taken aback, intending to speak for Zhou Jinyu, and said to Zhou Jinyu, "Go in quickly."

Zhou Jinyu nodded quickly: "Yes."

She entered the examination room, found her seat and sat down. After the bell rang three times, the imperial examination began.

Zhou Jinyu got the test questions, looked at the questions above, thought for a while, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, took a piece of white paper and started to write the answer.

Today is the first exam, so the exam is not difficult, she just thought about it for a while before she knew how to answer.

Looking around from the corner of the eye, I saw some candidates were biting their pens and thinking hard, some simply gave up, pushed the test questions and began to fall asleep on the table, but the young examiner who helped Zhou Jinyu speak Obviously more responsible, he went directly to Juzi who was sleeping on the table, and kicked him awake.

Zhou Jinyu thought to himself, well, he has a rather violent temper.

Zhou Jinyu chuckled inwardly, determined to ignore others and write his own first.

So she lowered her head and continued to write the answer.

But who knew that she had just finished writing one page and was about to write the second page when Liu Zaiyang suddenly appeared in front of her.

Zhou Jinyu looked at his villainous face and had a premonition that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Liu Zaiyang took a palm-sized cheat sheet from somewhere, and sneered, "Zhou Jinyu, how dare you cheat!"

Zhou Jinyu was dumbfounded by his sudden wrong, but said calmly: "It's not mine."

"There are witnesses and evidence gathered, how dare you not admit it!" Liu Zaiyang preemptively said with a sneer, "Come here, you stripped off his clothes and searched him to see if there are any left!"
