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

[one five four]

Although he had anticipated this, he was still unavoidably stunned.

Hearing Zhou Jinyu's father, Feng Boyang smiled wryly, opened his mouth, and asked, "You're here for revenge today, aren't you?"

Zhou Jinyu walked up to Feng Boyang, lifted his robe, bent his legs, and squatted on the ground.

She smiled and looked at the man in front of her: "No, you're going to die anyway, I can't afford to wait for one night, I'm going to do it now."

Feng Boyang was obviously a little disappointed: "The fire I had burned so many people to death, don't you want to take revenge with your own hands?"

Zhou Jinyu smiled and shook his head: "I don't want to, I'm not a person who can't hold back, I want to see you being taken to the execution ground tomorrow, being scolded by thousands of people, stones thrown on you by the people, and then Scolding you over and over again, traitor, treacherous minister, this is much more interesting than killing you directly, don't you think?"

Feng Boyang nodded: "Yes."

Then, he fell silent, as if thinking about something.

At this time, there was no sound in the dark cell, and it was eerily quiet.

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "You know, what was the worst thing you did back then?"

Feng Boyang said calmly: "The worst thing I did was not to kill you all back then."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, and said with approval: "Yes, I think so too. Cutting the weeds does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. Back then, you really should have set a fire and burned us all to death. They're all dead, and it's over."

Feng Boyang said: "That's right, if it wasn't for the fact that those trash were not good at doing things at that time, you wouldn't be able to live today at all."

Zhou Jinyu said: "I know, but you should have expected from then on that sooner or later, I would come to you for revenge."

Zhou Jinyu suddenly had a cold look in his eyes: "But, what I don't understand is, since you didn't love my mother back then, since you only had the monstrous power and wealth in your heart, why, why did you let her have a baby in her stomach? me!"

The indifference on Feng Boyang's face had long since disappeared. After hearing Zhou Jinyu's words, he smiled wryly, as if he was talking to himself: "I hope, it's like this."

When he said this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

Yes, he was very dissatisfied.

Feng Boyang closed his eyes, and all the past events flooded up in an instant, and his thoughts gradually began to return to that winter night several years ago.

At that time, he was still a poor scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam. His family was poor and his parents died. Going to Beijing to take the exam was the only chance in his life to make a fortune and get rid of poverty.

But on his way to Beijing to rush for the exam, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, he was cold and hungry, and finally passed out in front of a farmer's house.

On the second day, the lady from the farm family went out to pour water and saved him who was almost freezing to death at that time.

He admitted that at that time, he was half-drowsy and half-asleep when he saw that beautiful woman, which really surprised him for a moment.

A poor boy from the countryside originally went to a farmer's house and had a full meal, so he was grateful to Dade for leaving and went to Beijing to take the exam.

However, the young lady from the farmer's family was very eloquent, and she could write poems and songs easily. They talked for half an hour, and he became very interested in this young lady.

At that time, his love for her was all shown on his face, and he even tried repeatedly and abruptly.

But the lady was very polite to him, he knew that the lady didn't like him.

With extravagant hope, there is jealousy.

With jealousy, all the wrong things happened later.

Even thinking about it now, he doesn't have much regret in his heart, even if he is going to die, he doesn't regret it.

But he was still not reconciled.

He was not reconciled, when he expressed his heart so carefully back then, the young lady didn't even look at him.

Over the years, he has complained and hated, but when he thinks of the woman who rejected him that day, the resentment in his heart is still so strong.

But now he was dying.

Those unwillingness and resentment didn't mean much to him anymore.

However, in the days that followed, he dreamed countless times at midnight, and he dreamed of the scene when he first saw the girl in the heavy snow.

She was so beautiful back then.

It seems to be a fairy who has fallen from the sky.

Zhou Jinyu said frankly: "Actually, I originally thought that I would lose my reputation step by step and let you die, but..." Zhou Jinyu continued with a smile: "But now you are rushing to find death, Han Reporting Xin colluded with Khitan, no matter whether you were cut off by Khitans on the way to transport food, whether it is true or not, but with the crime of Han Reporting, you will not escape death."

Feng Boyang opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Jinyu in front of him, and said almost vindictively: "It seems that even your mother lied to you. Do you really think that I am your biological father?"

Zhou Jinyu frowned, as if he felt something was wrong.

Zhou Jinyu asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

Feng Boyang smiled and stopped talking.

Zhou Jinyu stood up and walked out of the cell step by step.

On the night when she returned to the son-in-law's mansion, there was news that Feng Boyang, the minister of household affairs, had hanged himself in prison.

When Zhou Jinyu heard the news, there was neither sadness nor joy in her eyes, as if Feng Boyang was just a passerby to her.

At this time Zhou Jinyu was eating with Wei Huanian, and the little bun was sitting in her arms, clinging to her very intimately, every time she fed him, the little bun took a bite, he was so obedient.

Liu Mu came in and reported that Feng Boyang was dead.

Zhou Jinyu suddenly remembered the last words Feng Boyang said to her when she was in prison. Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't want to continue thinking about it.

Now that Feng Boyang is dead, it doesn't matter whether he is her biological father or not.

All she knew was that her mother Liu could finally go to Qiulu Academy to find her grandfather Liu Xi without any worries, and that the person who started the fire had already received his due retribution. All as desired.

Zhou Jinyu used chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Xiao Baozi again, and said with a dark face on purpose: "Don't just eat greasy ones, eat more vegetables, add... er, it's good for your health."

After Zhou Jinyu finished speaking, he forcibly fed it into Xiao Baozi's mouth. Xiao Baozi frowned, apparently unwilling, but swallowed it anyway.

Zhou Jinyu pinched his reluctant face, and said with a smile, "Good boy~"

During this period, Wei Huanian just watched the two of them back and forth, and didn't say much.

When it was time to go to bed, Zhou Jinyu immediately ordered the maid to prepare a bathtub, and she wanted to wash herself for nothing.

When she cleaned herself up and waited for Wei Huanian to return to her room, someone came to report that the princess would sleep in the young master's room tonight, but she would not come.

Zhou Jinyu suddenly felt like a concubine waiting to be favored by the emperor. She was only thinking of bathing in the emperor's favor, but it was heard that her majesty had gone to another empress.

Zhou Jinyu lay helplessly on the bed, lying on his back, feeling extremely wronged.

In fact, she really wanted to fall asleep immediately, but her thoughts were messed up, and she couldn't fall asleep anyway. On the second day, her eye circles were a little dark.

There is no morning morning today, she doesn't have to get up early, but she has to work in the household department, so she still gets up early.

When she woke up, she saw Wei Huanian and Wan Qiu coming over. Wei Huanian looked at her, not in a negotiating tone, but said, "My son-in-law, for the next month, I will rest in Ah Jing's room."

Zhou Jinyu curled her lips, with 1 reluctances in her heart, but she still nodded her head: "Okay, but princess, what should I do? I also need the princess to hug me, and I need the princess to accompany me."

She was a little aggrieved by what she said, if she went to work in the household department, she would not be happy if she was away from home during the day and could not share the same bed with Wei Huanian at night.

Wei Huanian paused, and said, "In the future, you will go to the Ministry of Finance, and I will deliver meals to you at noon."

Zhou Jinyu laughed: "Okay, it's a deal."

Zhou Jinyu had eaten breakfast and went to the household department. Feng Boyang died in the sky prison last night. There is a hint of urgency, they have served Feng Boyang's servants all these years, and they were more or less involved with Feng Boyang before.

Now that Feng Boyang died, the household department was naturally flustered.

Zhou Jinyu didn't care whether they were panicking or not. He is now the Zuo Langzhong of the household department, and the other officials' official positions are as usual. For the time being, Emperor Tianshun has no intention of implicating Feng Boyang in the household department. Maybe he will take his time. Recalculate.

Now the candidates for Shangshu have not been finalized yet, there are several servants of the household department and other Lang Zhong including Zhou Jinyu, a total of six people, temporarily wanting to support the entire household department before the arrival of the new Shangshu.

Zhou Jinyu is now an upstart in the court, and the other principals are very polite to her, but most of them keep a respectful distance.

Zhou Jinyu didn't care what they did to her, she went to her independent room and casually flipped through the documents inside.

At noon, Wei Huanian really came to bring her lunch.

It's just that she didn't put out the princess's car, but brought Late Autumn, master and servant in casual clothes, and waited for her to come out outside the Hubu compound.

After hearing the police's report, Zhou Jinyu immediately ran outside the door, took the heavy food box from Wan Qiu's hand, and smiled broadly.

After Wei Huanian delivered her lunch, he was about to leave.

Zhou Jinyu immediately took a step forward, held her hand and said, "Princess, it will be the day to rest and take a bath in a few days. Let's take Xiao Baozi to Qianlong Temple to see Master."

Wei Huanian responded, "Okay."

Zhou Jinyu happily carried the food box back to the Hubu compound. At this time, a young servant happened to pass by. He smelled the aroma wafting from the food box, and then glanced at the cold dishes in his room. Time is envious.

He tried to get close to Zhou Jinyu, and kept praising Zhou Jinyu for his good life. Not only did he marry the princess, but the princess was also so virtuous.

But Zhou Jinyu just didn't ask him to eat with him, the waiter curled his lips resentfully, and could only go back to the house to eat his cold meal.

Zhou Jinyu returned to his room with his food box, and before he had eaten a few mouthfuls, he heard a messenger from outside reporting that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials had arrived.

As soon as Zhou Jinyu answered the quick invitation, Liu Gudao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, walked in. As he walked in, he looked at Zhou Jinyu's table full of dishes with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence that the old man came ah."

Zhou Jinyu really didn't want the lunch that Wei Huanian brought her to be cheap for Liu Gudao, even though Liu Gudao was his boss at the time, she was not happy either.

He smiled and said, "My lord, this is not a coincidence, I just have a pair of chopsticks."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Liu Gudao laughed, as if he had decided on her meal.

Then, Zhou Jinyu listened to Liu Gudao and ordered the people behind him: "Go, get me a pair of chopsticks."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

This is... a little too much.

Zhou Jinyu had no choice but to let Liu Gudao take his seat.

After a while, Liu Gudao had an extra pair of chopsticks in his hand, and he ate a plate of pork ribs in sauce that was closest to him, and said: "I said, Jinyu, last time you told me It's really accurate to remind you, you asked me to get involved in Han Xu's private affairs, no, you really found out the problem."

Zhou Jinyu looked at the plate of pork ribs in sauce that had been half wiped out, she responded vaguely, immediately raised her chopsticks, and quickly picked up two pieces into her bowl.

She really didn't understand, Liu Gudao was so old, how could he still have such good teeth, and still gobbled it up.

Liu Gudao said: "This Han Xu compares himself to a romantic talent, this talent, he has nothing to do with it, it's just this romantic, it's not really romantic, that's shameless."

Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [Second update]

When Liu Gudao came here, Zhou Jinyu heard him tell a joke.

It is said that when Han Xu, as a member of the official department, was on business in Lingnan, he met a singing girl on the official ship.

The singer was nearly fifty years old. After playing a piece of pipa, the whole audience praised her superb skills.

And Han Xu, as a literati who even hung famous calligraphy and paintings in his room, naturally admired this singer even more.

The singer said frankly that when she was young, she was sought after by the children of the aristocratic family, but now she is old and frail.

At this point, Liu Gudao looked at Zhou Jinyu with a smile: "Guess what happened later?"

The plate of pork ribs with sauce in front of Liu Gudao had been eaten up. Zhou Jinyu raised his chopsticks and put them down resentfully. He asked angrily, "What's wrong?"

Liu Gudao laughed: "Han Xu actually married that singing girl and became the fourth wife of his family."

Zhou Jinyu suddenly became interested: "No, why do I think this matter sounds wrong?"

Liu Gudao said with a smile: "Of course not. Don't those singers who perform on official boats know that the official boats in front of them are full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries? They made up a miserable life experience, just to marry into an official family one day Just being a concubine can make money."

Zhou Jinyu shook his head: "I'm not talking about that, I just think that if everything is as the singing girl said, then Han Xu marrying her as the fourth wife is also a matter of your choice and my own will. It is corrupt with him. It doesn't matter."

Liu Gudao said: "You're right. The reason for this is that the song girl said that her parents-in-law were making things difficult. It's just that her husband-in-law didn't die at all."

Zhou Jinyu said in surprise, "Oh?"

Liu Gudao said: "It's not that he didn't die, but a pleading was brought to the capital, saying that Han Xu had robbed the women of the people, and asked the government to give him justice."

Zhou Jinyu asked, "Then what happened next?"

As she spoke, she quietly picked up a piece of braised pork. Liu Gudao was never idle when telling the story, and the chopsticks in his hand could almost fly.

If Zhou Jinyu doesn't eat any more, Liu Gudao might eat up the few dishes in front of him.

Liu Gudao continued: "Later, Jingzhao Yin's yamen did not dare to make a decision because it involved important court officials at this time. Jingzhao's prefect originally planned to suppress this matter. After all, there is a letter from Han behind Han Xu. No matter how upright the governor of Jingzhao is, he would not dare to challenge Han Xinxin. It's just that Han Xu killed the singer's husband later."

"What?" Zhou Jinyu came to his senses, and shook his head sighingly: "Well, is this romantic and talented person considered to be a confidante in anger?"

Liu Gudao said: "That's right."

Zhou Jinyu asked: "And then, where did the singer go?"

Liu Gudao said: "Now Han Xu has entered the prison. I heard that the wives in his house are packing up their things and preparing to flee for their lives. The singing girl is the last to enter the door. I'm afraid she won't get anything. Now that she has no wealth, I can't continue to go back to my in-laws' house, so I guess I'm really going to be a dire, miserable songstress."

Zhou Jinyu curled her lips: "It can be regarded as where she came from, and she asked for it."

Liu Gudao put down his chopsticks and finally stopped eating Zhou Jinyu's dishes.

Zhou Jinyu really wanted to cry when he saw the dishes on the plate like wind and clouds.

Liu Gudao stood up and said with a smile, "Jinyu, now that the bureaucracy has finally recovered peace, I'm going to retire and return home."

Zhou Jinyu was stunned, but then he realized that Su Qian and Han Xu had created a mess in the Ministry of Officials before. Liu Gudao did not dare to act rashly because of the forces behind these two people.

Now that Liu Gudao has dealt with both of these two people, he can be regarded as retiring. Liu Gudao is now old, if he wants to resign, Emperor Tianshun will probably not disagree.

Liu Gudao patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are still young, and you have plenty of time. When I was your age, I was studying for the No. It is rare, and the first-class official residence is just around the corner.”

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said: "I don't have any ambitions, and I don't want to be in a high position. Now I just hope to be a monk and hit the clock for a day. Don't make big mistakes and live a peaceful life."

Liu Gudao was startled, then he understood, nodded and smiled and said, "Everyone has his own ambitions, but you are more free and easy than me. In my whole life, I said I don't care about fame and wealth, but in fact, I really don't care in my heart. But there are some things, the harder you think about them, the more you won’t get them, so it’s better to be like you and do whatever you want.”

Zhou Jinyu smiled, and said, "I'm lazy, but I'm not as thoughtful as you said, my lord."

Liu Gudao shook his head, pointed at her with a smile: "You, you, you are such a nice young man, you are not surprised by favor or humiliation, very good."

Zhou Jinyu sent Liu Gudao out, thinking that if Liu Gudao wanted to retire and return home, he might never see him again, so he could be forgiven for eating his own meal.

It's just that Zhou Jinyu really didn't have any appetite for the leftovers he ate like a wind passing through the border, so she only ate a bowl of plain rice. When she was about to clean up, several other servants from the household department came to talk to her and saw her sitting at the table. They asked Zhou Jinyu if he didn't eat the food that was on the table.

Zhou Jinyu nodded, and those people were so happy that they sent people to get chopsticks.

Zhou Jinyu really didn't understand why these people were so interested in her leftovers.

It wasn't until the next day, when she ate the breakfast provided by the household department, that she understood the reason.

It is said that when Feng Boyang was the secretary of the household department, he ordered the household department to be diligent and thrifty, so he directly reduced all expenditures of the household department.

Zhou Jinyu really had nothing to say. In order to create an illusion of being thrifty in front of Emperor Tianshun, Feng Boyang was able to make a fuss about food, which was unprecedented.

After Zhou Jinyu learned about this, he immediately ordered him to return to normal with regard to the expenses of the household department.

The household department was very grateful to her, and even the errand runners respectfully called her Mr. Zhou when they saw her.

Zhou Jinyu never put on airs, and nodded in response.

When it was dark, Zhou Jinyu left the yamen of the household department, bid farewell to several colleagues, and then walked towards the consort's mansion.

Who knew that just as she walked to a place where no one was around, she was blocked by a few men in black who suddenly appeared.

Immediately, a woman in pink came out from among the men in black. Zhou Jinyu looked at her for a while, and after realizing it, the expression in his eyes remained unchanged. He walked up to her respectfully, smiled and asked her, "Master, are you How did you come to Chang'an?"

The woman in pink raised her eyebrows, and said coldly, "You still see me as your master?"

Zhou Jinyu took it for granted: "Of course I have you in my eyes. As long as Jinyu is a member of the Cao Gang for a day, then you will be my master for a day."

The woman in pink said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, follow me."

Seeing that she had no intention of killing her, Zhou Jinyu followed immediately.

She followed the woman to the Town God's Temple. At this time, An Buhuai was still dressed as a beggar, and the disciples of the Cao Gang were all there, all of them looked like beggars in rags.

Zhou Jinyu followed the woman into the secret room. An Buhuai originally wanted to follow in, but the woman waved her hand and asked An Buhuai to wait outside.

Zhou Jinyu saw a trace of guard in An Buhuai's gaze.

She had expected that the affairs of the Cao Gang might go awry, after all, she had escaped from the Khitan Prison and turned to Turkic to send reinforcements, which had ruined the affairs of the Xing Zhouhui.

What surprised Zhou Jinyu was that the master she met in the Khitan Palace that day was obviously a boy in white clothes, unexpectedly, this boy turned out to be a girl.

After the door of the secret room was closed, Zhou Jinyu looked at the woman and said, "Master, you asked me to come here, what's your order?"

The woman said: "Now that the Khitan has been defeated, I'm afraid they will have to recuperate in the past ten years, and they will never get up again. All of this is thanks to you."

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly said: "Master, you...you are wronging me."

The woman snorted coldly: "Did I wrong you?"

Zhou Jinyu said aggrievedly: "Yes, you wronged me! This time we fought against Khitan, Emperor Tianshun... oh no, the old thief Wei Jian had already left behind. This was originally a game he set up, and I Knowing this, I took the opportunity to act, and then I went to Turkic to ask for help. Even if I didn’t go to Turkic to ask for help, I’m afraid Wei Jian would have sent a large army to come. Defeated. Since this is the case, I can only use this incident to make meritorious service, so that in the days to come, I will do my best to do things for my master."

The woman looked at her coldly, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Zhou Jinyu, who are you?"

Zhou Jinyu bowed and said, "I'm your man."

"My man?" The woman sneered: "If you were my man, why did you escape from the Khitan Palace? I have sent someone to investigate, and you and Xiang Nantian are indeed sworn brothers. I also believe that you are indeed Xiang Nantian's sect." To the fine work of the imperial court, but now, where is your heart heading?"

Zhou Jinyu swore: "My heart for the Cao Gang, and my heart for my master, can be learned from heaven and earth!"

The woman said: "Oh? Is it really a lesson from heaven and earth?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Yes!"

The woman curled her lips and smiled: "Very well, if you are sincere and still looking towards me, then do something for me."

Zhou Jinyu asked: "I don't know what the master wants me to do?"

The woman smiled, and suddenly said: "I have nowhere to go now, you should marry me."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

Isn't this request a little too much?

Unexpectedly, what the woman said next was even more excessive.

She said: "You killed Princess Yuanzhao, and I will replace you in disguise, how about that?"
