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

[two]

In the firewood room in the backyard of Qianlong Temple where the peach blossoms are in full bloom, a small square peachwood table has been set up, and a futon woven from straw is placed on each side of the small square table.

Zhou Jinyu and the little prince Sun Hao sat cross-legged on the futons. On the square table was a fragrant roast chicken that was still warm, and a jar of aged peach blossom wine just dug out from under the peach blossom tree.

As soon as the wine jar was opened, the aroma of wine and peach filled the room.

"The people in Chang'an City seem to be spreading rumors that the Khitan is coming." The young prince Sun Hao swallowed the wine in his glass in one gulp. He drank in a hurry and coughed violently.

Zhou Jinyu laughed at him: "Drink slowly, and no one will grab you."

"I said Zhou Jinyu, are you listening to what I just said?" Sun Hao complained.

"Huh?" Zhou Jinyu squinted his peach blossom eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "Okay, then tell me."

She had just drank a glass of wine, and she was not at all drunk, but deliberately made a gesture of drunkenness.With drunken eyes, he looked quite like a drunken young man.

Sun Hao paused, and complained: "What are these Khitan people trying to do? You said it has just stopped for a few years, why are they still going on?"

Zhou Jinyu rubbed his chin, thought about it seriously, and said, "Perhaps, you want to ask us for something again."

Sun Hao was taken aback when he heard the words. When Zhou Jinyu said this, he suddenly understood, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt unwilling, and he simply cursed: "Why do you think these Khitan thieves are so rascal? There is nothing we can do about them! Do they think that they are the only ones who are strong and strong? They are the only ones who will fight without death?"

Zhou Jinyu raised his eyebrows: "Maybe it's like this."

Not long after the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the former emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was incompetent and ruthless, and had exhausted the common people long ago. Fortunately, His Majesty Wei Jian has replaced him.However, even if His Majesty has the ambition to dominate the world, he will definitely not go head-to-head with the Khitan people when the people are exhausted.

Sun Hao anxiously said, "Damn! The Khitan thieves are thinking about it! The sons and daughters of our Great Jin Dynasty are not cowards, and one person can drown them with a single mouthful of spittle!"

Zhou Jinyu nodded sincerely, pretending not to be perfunctory at all: "Well, I think what you said makes sense."

Sun Hao: "..."

He suddenly felt that he shouldn't tell Zhou Jinyu these things. After all, Zhou Jinyu was not a child of the royal family, nor was he an official for the court.

Zhou Jinyu is definitely not like himself, who hates those Khitan thieves.

He felt that his passion and resentment towards Khitan thieves were vented in front of Zhou Jinyu, it was like punching cotton, and it would have no effect at all.

"How did I forget that your Zhou family is a rice seller, even if they are rich like a country, they are just a rice seller!" Sun Hao stared at Zhou Jinyu coldly with the strength of wine, and said angrily: "Even if the Khitan If people really call, your Zhou family’s rice will still be sold, money will still be earned, and the business will not be delayed.”

Zhou Jinyu didn't mind the sarcasm in his words at all, and agreed: "You are right, my Zhou family is just a rice seller. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are inferior. Businessmen, it's just a matter of nothing. Guan Ji, hang on high?"

"You!" Sun Hao was so choked by her that he couldn't speak. He was really angry at her submissive attitude, but he didn't know why he was angry.Reluctantly drank two bowls of wine, said with red eyes: "Sometimes I envy you very much, I envy you that you can think about nothing, but I just feel reconciled, not reconciled to my eldest sister who married Khitan far away!"

"You're drunk, I'll go out and get you a bowl of well water to drink." Zhou Jinyu thought that Sun Hao must be drunk, and he was taking the opportunity to get drunk on her.

Because of these words, Sun Hao, who usually hangs out with him and walks around the market drinking flower wine and visiting brothels, will definitely not say it.

Sun Hao said angrily: "Sometimes, I really hate that superior emperor!"

Zhou Jinyu looked at him warily, and warned seriously: "You are drunk, stop talking."

Sun Hao smiled wryly: "Listen to me..."

Zhou Jinyu looked at him without saying a word.

"Just because of that person's words." Sun Hao smiled wryly: "Just because of his words, Eldest Sister will marry a Khitan."

"Eldest sister, she doesn't want to marry, you know? But for me, she happily put on the dowry, thanked Lord Long En, and went to Khitan."

"On the day when the imperial decree came down, when Eldest Sister and I were having breakfast, Eldest Sister told me that she fell in love with Mr. Xue, the mansion, and asked me to help her talk to Mother."

"But after noon, the imperial decree came down, asking her to marry a Khitan."

"You said, how can there be such a reason?"

Zhou Jinyu let out a long sigh, stood up, and patted him on the shoulder: "You're drunk, I'll go out and give you a bowl of well water to clear your mind, and if you talk nonsense, I'm afraid you'll ransack your family and exterminate your family. I know, your elder sister married for you."

Sun Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.

In fact, how could Zhou Jinyu not know what Sun Hao said?She is very clear about Sun Hao's situation and the situation of the entire Guining Palace.Before he came to Qianlong Temple to be a lay disciple, he had been in Guining Prince's Mansion, where he was studying with the young prince Sun Hao.

Five years ago, the Khitan invaded. In order to appease the Khitan, the emperor sent away Sun Hao's elder sister, Sun Ning, and went to Khitan to get married.

The Khitan has always been eyeing the Great Jin covetously, so you can know what humiliation Sun Ning will suffer when he marries in the past.In fact, according to the rules of the past dynasties, the princess, that is, the emperor's daughter, has always been the one who makes marriages.But how could the emperor be willing to marry his own daughter and be humiliated?

But Sun Hao turned his hatred into hatred, and it was useless to hate him. He is a prince with a different surname who has no hereditary throne. Because of his father's great achievements, he was originally feared by the emperor. Head, not even a real power.

If it was true this time, as rumored, Khitan called again, maybe the emperor would be the first to take him to Guining Palace.

Zhou Jinyu could feel that Sun Hao was not only resentful, but maybe he was afraid.

So, Zhou Jinyu thought, Sun Hao urgently needs to pour a spoonful of cold water himself to wake him up.

However, as soon as the door of the firewood room was opened and the cold wind came in, Zhou Jinyu unexpectedly saw a pair of small dark eyes staring at her blankly.

The owner of the pair of small eyes is white and tender, wearing a purple Xiaochun gown, with a white jade pendant hanging on a turquoise wide belt, just like a little doll in a New Year painting.

Zhou Jinyu was stunned: "Where did these little glutinous rice buns come from?"

Little Nuomi Baozi didn't move, he just looked at Zhou Jinyu with black eyes and blinked.

Zhou Jinyu also blinked, and pinched his baby-fat little face, but the little glutinous rice bun refused to be pinched, stretched his waist, and avoided it.

Zhou Jinyu smiled, she retracted the hand that pinched his small face, and rubbed it: "You are quite stingy, how can you pinch it for me, and you won't lose a piece of meat?"

Little Nuomi Bun blinked, shook his head, but refused to pinch.

Zhou Jinyu was amused: "It's quite stubborn."

"Where is this child?" Sun Hao heard the movement and came over, and was startled when he saw this strange little doll, and then laughed: "Zhou Jinyu, don't you have a son?"

Zhou Jinyu was not angry either, and said with a smile, "I can't give birth, but I hope to have a son as handsome as him. You see, this little face looks like a porcelain doll."

She smiled and touched Xiao Nuomi Baozi's face, but Xiao Baozi still didn't pinch.

Sun Hao stretched his head and looked out of the circle: "Where did the child come from? Didn't you say that no one will come here?"

The backyard of Qianlong Temple is not big, there are less than a dozen quiet rooms in the east, west, north, south, and peach trees around the yard, and there is a well in the middle, which can be seen at a glance.

Zhou Jinyu was also dumbfounded: "I don't know."

While the two were talking, the little bun actually dodged and slipped through the gap between the two of them. He stumbled to the small peach wood table, staring at the animal on the table without blinking. He swallowed the roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves that he hadn't eaten before.

Zhou Jinyu followed closely behind: "I'm hungry."

The little bun looked at Zhou Jinyu, blinked, and agreed with this statement.

Zhou Jinyu laughed.

Sun Hao hurriedly followed and asked, "Hey? Why did you come in? Whose family are you from? Where are your parents?"

Zhou Jinyu stood beside Xiao Baozi, squatted down, and rubbed his little head, while Xiao Baozi raised his head and refused to touch it.

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Jinyu smiled and shook his head: "Maybe the child of some pilgrim is lost. Since we met, it is destined. I will reward you with a chicken leg, okay?"

After Zhou Jinyu finished speaking, he raised his head again to touch his head.

Ok……

This time, I touched it.

Fine.

Feelings, this child is just like himself, very aware of current affairs.

Those who know current affairs are the ones who know how to be a hero.

Zhou Jinyu tore a piece of roasted chicken leg and put it in a small bowl, and gave it to him: "Here, eat it, and take you to find your parents after eating."

The little bun still had some tentative eyes at first, and he refused to reach out, Zhou Jinyu put the small bowl on the table in front of him, and then moved his futon under his buttocks: "Are you still afraid that I will poison you? Sit down and eat."

Then Xiao Baozi really sat down obediently, he was not very obedient, as soon as he sat down, he picked up the chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.

Only then did Zhou Jinyu understand: "It turned out to be a little dumb."

Sun Hao was amazed, and looked at the little buns that were sitting on the futon, wolfing down the chicken legs and stuffing them into his mouth, and asked Zhou Jinyu, "This kid eats meat just like you, is it going directly to his stomach?" Don’t be afraid to choke. Hey? This can’t be your long-lost son, can it?”

Zhou Jinyu nodded solemnly: "Actually, I have been keeping something from you."

Sun Hao: "...?"

Zhou Jinyu's deliberately vicissitudes of eyes said quietly: "Many years ago, my mother and I were in a stormy night...with him."

Sun Hao: "...stop, I don't want to hear it."

Zhou Jinyu covered her mouth and laughed, took a futon and sat down again, poured a glass of wine for the young prince Sun Hao and herself, and then asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Sun Hao was taken aback, he knew that he just lost his composure, so he deliberately pretended to be indifferent and said, "I'm comfortable, what can I do even if I'm uncomfortable?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "That's right. There has never been a fair thing in this world. Some injustices can only be swallowed. The most important thing is to save your life."

Sun Hao nodded, indicating that he understood.

In fact, there was another sentence that Zhou Jinyu didn't say.

Sometimes, the reason why people are willing to dormant, lonely, and endure humiliation is to become stronger in the future.

Only by becoming stronger can some bloody revenge be avenged.

That big fire back then would still ignite in her dreams from time to time. So many people were burned to death in that big fire, and so many wronged souls have yet to be brought to justice...

How could she, Zhou Jinyu, forget it?

In another meditation room facing south in the backyard, a beautiful woman is drinking tea. Opposite her is the abbot of Qianlong Temple, Master Kongzhi.

Suddenly, a little girl in green clothes ran in from the door, and the little girl hurriedly said: "Princess, it's too bad, the young master is gone!"
