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

[one two one]

When Wei Huanian heard about Su'an County, he just remained silent. Zhou Jinyu thought she had fallen asleep, so he straightened his body and prepared to fall asleep.

Wei Huanian slightly closed his eyes, but his heart was full of thoughts.

Su'an County is a little-known small county, but because it is close to the Jinjiang River, the people live a stable life and don't worry about food and clothing. However, it is adjacent to Yong'an County, which made her think more about it. .

A few years ago, there was also a flood in Yong'an County. At that time, the farmland was flooded and the dam collapsed. Emperor Tianshun suspected that officials were corrupt, so he sent the then prince Wei Chenglu to investigate. Wei Chenglu touched his nose there Hui, but in the end he was slapped together, and after he came back, he was deprived of the crown prince.

When she heard the news that day, she rushed to Yong'an overnight, but she didn't find anything. Now that Zhou Jinyu suddenly said that there was something wrong with the officials in Su'an County, she couldn't help but get suspicious.

Thinking of this, Wei Huanian said, "My son-in-law, have you fallen asleep?"

Zhou Jinyu was closing her eyes and resting her mind, trying to fall asleep. When Wei Huanian called her, she quickly tilted her head to look at her beautiful eyes and said, "Not yet, what orders does the princess have?"

Wei Huanian said: "Su'an County is adjacent to Yong'an County, if there is a problem in Su'an County, the son-in-law might as well take a look at Yong'an County when he goes to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow."

Zhou Jinyu was stunned: "Yong'an County? Is it the county where thousands of people have been drowned by the dam now?"

Wei Huanian nodded slightly: "Well, the Jinjiang dam was destroyed, and Yong'an County was the hardest hit, followed by Su'an County."

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, and suddenly came to understand: "The princess suspects that the officials of these two counties are not good at building dams, so that caused the disaster victims?"

Wei Huanian said: "These are just my suspicions, and there is no real evidence. If my predictions are correct, my father will send someone to investigate in the near future."

Zhou Jinyu felt relieved: "That's good. If Long Live Lord is willing to send someone to investigate and find out the reason, then I can give the common people an explanation."

Wei Huanian shook his head: "How can it be so easy? Since something happened, there must be a countermeasure there. Even if they send people, I'm afraid they won't find anything."

Zhou Jinyu asked: "If that's the case, then what's the use of sending someone over there?"

Wei Huanian's expression turned cold, and he replied, "It's useless."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback: "Huh?"

Wei Huanian closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing the princess like this, Zhou Jinyu was obviously angry, but she couldn't say anything more, after all, she was in the capital now, and she couldn't do anything to worry about all this.

But I feel uneasy, not only because of Wei Huanian, but also because of the people who are far away along the Jinjiang River, who are in dire straits. After all, it is excusable if it is a natural disaster. If artificially...

Then the people who do these things are unacceptable.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu's expression turned cold, and he raised his hand to cover Wei Huanian with the brocade quilt, before lying back down by himself.

On the second day, when Zhou Jinyu woke up, he heard the boy report that someone was looking for her outside the door.

When Zhou Jinyu went out of the mansion, he saw Lao Suntou standing in front of the mansion.

Old Suntou was still wearing his half-worn black black robe. There was a small hole in the sleeve of the robe, but it was sewn stitch by thread. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell that the robe was torn.

The old grandson looked at her with a smile, and said, "My son-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm getting fat."

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly walked down with a smile, looked at him with a shy smile and said, "I said, Old Sun, where have you been these days? You just left a note and left, but I was terrified. I thought something important happened to you."

The old grandson said in a hoarse voice: "something happened at home, I'll be back as soon as it's over, the wonton shop has to be open."

Zhou Jinyu laughed and said, "You didn't come back to see me, but to a mere wonton shop? Master, master, do you have me as an apprentice in your heart?"

The old grandson glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not your master, don't call me that, just call me the old grandson."

Zhou Jinyu was not angry either, and hurriedly said: "It's all right, don't shout if you don't shout, old grandson, come on, come and talk to me in the mansion, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I have a lot to tell you .”

The old grandson looked at her and smiled, and said: "I already know about you. You won the number one prize, married Princess Yuanzhao, and became the imperial concubine. It can be said to be a happy event. Congratulations."

Knowing that he was joking, Zhou Jinyu said, "What's wrong with being a son-in-law? In front of you, I'm not a stupid student."

Hearing what she said, the old grandson had a smug look in his eyes, and said: "I won't go in, I'll leave after talking to you, I can't leave the shop."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Success, then tell me, I'll listen."

The old grandson looked at her and said, "I heard you went to the Ministry of Officials?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Yes, the servant of the official department, with the rank of seventh rank, oh yes, Feng Weizhi has also gone."

When the old grandson heard the words, he suddenly laughed: "He is with you in the official department, you are very uncomfortable, isn't he, the uncle of the left Langzhong in the official department, did you suffer?"

Zhou Jinyu quickly waved his hand: "Where can it be? I've only been there once, and I haven't even seen the adults." Zhou Jinyu paused, then looked at him suddenly and said, "But you're really right Yes, I heard people say that Han Zhixin told that Lord Lang Zhong that he would trap me in the bureaucracy for the rest of my life."

The old grandson's expression turned cold, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Who did you listen to?"

Zhou Jinyu replied: "Su Qian, today's uncle of the country, the younger brother of Concubine Hui."

The old grandson thought for a while when he heard the words, and said: "Be careful with this Su Qian. You have no friendship with him, but he said these things to you. It's okay if you win him over, but if you want to use it, with your current official position, I'm afraid it's not an opponent."

Zhou Jinyu knew that he meant to mention something, even though she had already thought about it, there was no need for the old grandson to deliberately mention it to her, she still smiled and said: "Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me, old man, I understand."

The old grandson nodded.

"Ma'am, please go slowly."

The Zhou family across the street from the consort's mansion, the Liu family is about to leave the mansion to celebrate the harvest year.

As soon as she left the gate of the mansion, her eyes suddenly swept over to the opposite side. When she saw Zhou Jinyu at the opposite door, she wanted to go over and have a few words with her before leaving.

She stepped down the steps step by step, and as soon as she got close to Zhou Jinyu, she saw that the man she was talking to had already left.

Liu looked at his back as he left in a hurry, a little dazed.

I always feel that the figure of that person is very similar to the person in my memory, but looking at his clothes, I find it impossible. As a high-ranking king, how could that person appear here?

Maybe I read it wrong.

"Mother, why did you come out late today?"

Zhou Jinyu's voice brought Liu back to God.Mrs. Liu regained her composure, and said: "Several stewards said that the supply of pearl rice for the celebration of the harvest has been cut off recently, and many people who made an order to pick up the rice before couldn't get it. They couldn't pick up the high-quality rice, so some of them came to the shop. It’s been a few days in a row, and the steward couldn’t hold back, so he came to me early in the morning.”

Zhou Jinyu understood, now that the waterways in Jinjiang were blocked due to the destruction of the dam, and the pearl rice from the south of the Yangtze River could not be transported, how could those wealthy households in central Beijing be reconciled?

The supply of high-quality pearl rice in the Qingfeng Year is abundant, and the amount shipped every month is calculated in advance. Even the stockpiles in the warehouse are for emergency use, and it is far from enough. The old men in Beijing are all talkative, Do not eat non-top-grade pearl rice.Now that the Jinjiang waterway is cut off, how can those wealthy households be willing to let go if they cannot eat high-quality rice?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu snorted coldly, and said, "Mother, now that the waterway is broken, the rice will naturally be broken. Those people know this but are still messing around. I'm afraid they will only give up if they want to find some benefits."

Mrs. Liu replied: "Of course I know this, don't worry about it, go to the government office to be an servant at ease."

Zhou Jinyu naturally knew that Liu would handle it properly, so she stopped worrying and nodded.Then he said angrily: "If the waterway wasn't cut off because of the dam, you wouldn't have to suffer because of it. What do you say to Big Brother?"

Liu comforted: "Just tell the leader that it will take at least two months for the dam to be repaired, and the waterway will be unimpeded again after two months. If so, the inferior rice in the warehouse can last for a while, which is enough."

Zhou Jinyu bowed and said: "That's good, mother, you can go to work first, my son has to go to the official department to work, so I go first."

Mrs. Liu nodded when she heard the words, turned around and boarded the carriage that had already been prepared. After a while, the carriage disappeared at the end of Xiyan Street.

She always felt that Liu Shi was a little dazed just now, and she didn't know if she was wrong, and Liu Shi's expression was different, obviously it was not because of her.

Could it be because of the old grandson?

When Liu saw the old Suntou just now, the expression on his face was full of surprise, and the old Suntou seemed to have sensed something, so he directly said that he wanted to leave.

Zhou Jinyu couldn't help but start thinking wildly, could it be possible that Chengniang and Lao Suntou are old acquaintances?

But I thought again, no, how could my mother know the old grandson?

The two of them are totally incompatible, Lao Suntou is an old man who runs a wonton shop, but he has some skills, Liu has never liked to eat wontons, so he has no intersection with him.

It was at that time that Lao Suntou's wonton shop was opened, and later the business was so good that the people came here admiringly. The Liu family only sent her to try it, but she never thought that she would get to know Lao Suntou since then. Teacher and friend are now.

But after all, I still think too much, it is impossible for the Liu family to have anything to do with Lao Suntou.

Thinking of this, she stopped thinking about it, went back to the mansion and had breakfast, and then went out to the Ministry of Officials.

When she was about to leave the house, Wei Huanian called to stop her: "My son-in-law."

Zhou Jinyu turned his head and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile: "Huh?"

Today's Wei Huanian is wearing a pink skirt, a pile of emerald green jade pendants on his ears, and embroidered shoes with Nuanyan embroidered on his feet.

Wei Huanian's usual attire has always been dignified and dignified. She rarely wears these bright colors, but Zhou Jinyu woke up this morning and jokingly said that she wanted to see Wei Huanian wear more prettier clothes.

Unexpectedly, Wei Huanian took it seriously.

Zhou Jinyu looked at her and felt happy. He raised her hand and asked her with a smile, "Princess, what's the matter?"

When Zhou Jinyu took Wei Huanian's hand, he scratched her hand dishonestly, but his face was serious.

Wei Huanian blushed instantly, and said angrily, "Be more serious."

Zhou Jinyu had an innocent face: "Princess, I am very serious."

Wei Huanian glanced at her and asked her, "Do you remember what I told you last night?"

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, and asked deliberately not understanding: "Last night, what did the princess say to me last night? Hey, why can't I remember it? What can I do, princess?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wei Huanian with a smile: "However, if the princess is willing to kiss me, maybe I can remember something."

The blush on Wei Huanian's face could hardly be hidden, and a look of annoyance appeared on his fair face, but Zhou Jinyu was looking at her with a shy face and a snickering smile.

Seeing her getting closer and closer, Wei Huanian gently pushed her towards her chest.

Zhou Jinyu was stunned and refused to take half a step back, but made an inch of progress. The girl in front of her was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky. She couldn't tell if she was just acting, or if she couldn't help wanting but instinctively approached.

Knowing that she did it on purpose, Wei Huanian frowned and was about to speak.

But he suddenly changed his mind, evoked a smile, and the next moment, he directly kissed her lips with a smug smile.

Zhou Jinyu's eyes widened in an instant.
