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

[six]

Speaking of Zhou Jinyu's mother, the Liu family, she has always been a strong and consistent character.Even the businessmen in Chang'an City were afraid of her when they mentioned her, for fear that they would offend her by being inconsiderate and rude in business.

Not only that, but the entire Zhou family, including Zhou Jinyu's grandmother, Mrs. Zhou, Wang, are all submissive under her control, and there is no one who is not afraid of her.

In June of the first year, the Liu family suddenly decided to move the residence.

She chose the new residence in Xiyan Street, the next street to Chang'an City East Street where the Qingfeng Nian Rice Shop is located.But the Zhou family is used to living in the old house, so how can they just move?For a while, there were complaints in the mansion, and Zhou Jinyu had complaints in his stomach, but he didn't dare to confront Liu's openly, and only wanted to delay it for a while.

Her grandma, Old Mrs. Zhou, didn't want to move out even more, and even went on a hunger strike with Liu Shi for a while because of this, but Liu Shi didn't know what method she used, and even the old lady persuaded her.

Zhou Jinyu saw with his own eyes that Mrs. Liu just went to Mrs. Zhou's room, said a few words, and persuaded the most stubborn old lady without bloodshed.

Zhou Jinyu secretly admired her mother, what a talent this is!

Therefore, when the old lady Zhou let go, even if Zhou Jinyu and her second brother Zhou Zimu were unwilling to move the house, and did not dare to make a fearless resistance, they could only reluctantly agree.

"Isn't it just to move to another mansion, let's move! It's better than being suppressed by A Niang when your brother and I resist."

That day, Zhou Jinyu said to her second brother Zhou Zimu like this.

There are two reasons for the Liu family to let the Zhou family move to Xiyan Street.One is for the word "Xiyan" in "Xiyan Street", which can be pronounced as "Xiyan" in homophony.

Xiyan announces good news, and the name is auspicious.People who do business have always paid attention to this. Although Zhou Jinyu didn't know how Liu Shi thought of these two irreconcilable words in one place, since Liu Shi said yes, how dare she say no?

The second is to make it convenient.Before moving to the residence, Liu Shi said that it would take half an hour to travel by carriage to Qingfeng, but after moving to Xiyan Street, it only took half an hour for Liu Shi to walk to the store.

Therefore, even though Mrs. Zhou was unwilling to leave the old house of the Zhou family where she had lived for most of her life, even though Zhou Jinyu had quarreled with her second brother Zhou Zimu many times.

Later, Mrs. Liu was annoyed by their troubles, so she patted the table and warned Zhou Jinyu and her half-brother Zhou Zimu, and said with a final word: "If you move this house, you have to move, or if you don't move, you have to move!" ! If anyone dares to talk too much, move out for me, and don't take half of the Zhou family's silver again!"

Since then, the entire Zhou family has been much quieter.

On the day of moving to the mansion, Zhou Jinyu even moved Liu's favorite little red sandalwood chair to the new mansion with a servant, and even went to the Liu's with the servant to ask for a reward.

She now vaguely remembers that when she squinted her eyes and accepted the reward from Liu's family, her half-brother Zhou Zimu, a bookworm, looked at her in disbelief.

It seems to be saying: How can you do this!

That's right, it was her, Zhou Jinyu, who persuaded Zhou Zimu to join her in opposing Liu's move to the mansion.

Seeing that her situation was over now, she was also Zhou Jinyu who was the first to go to Mrs. Liu to please her.

Zhou Zimu thought more than once, if Zhou Jinyu had a dog's tail, he would probably go to the sky in front of Liu Shi to flatter him!

Really shameless!

It was almost dusk at this time, and a fiery red sunset hung low, as if it was reluctant to sway the last afterglow to the world, dyeing the clouds in the west into fiery red.

Zhou Jinyu laughed and quarreled with the stewards who had just been reprimanded. Before leaving the store, the old butler Zhou Cheng gave her a sympathetic look and asked, "Fourth son, are you all right? Madam Cai just now When she asked me to find you, I saw that her complexion didn't look very good."

Zhou Jinyu said in his heart: What did you do long ago, and now you are saying that mother is in a bad mood, is it interesting to shoot after the fact?

But he smiled without changing his face: "It's okay, it's okay, mother just came to ask me where I went today, and she didn't make things difficult for me."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." The old housekeeper said.

Zhou Jinyu bared her small white teeth and smiled, took out a tael of silver from her bag and gave it to the old housekeeper Zhou Cheng: "Mother is in a bad mood today, and I'm afraid I'm going to scold my brothers bloody with my words." The head is not over yet, I will add a few dishes for everyone today, and I will trouble Uncle Zhou Cheng."

Zhou Cheng was taken aback, and declined, "Fourth Young Master, how can this be possible, madam should teach us servants, we dare not hold grudges."

Zhou Jinyu stuffed the money into his hand, and said with a smile: "Then, as the young boss, I should ask everyone to eat more chicken. Take it!"

Zhou Cheng thanked him repeatedly, collected the money, and watched Zhou Jinyu leave the store.

Zhou Jinyu came out of the store. It was getting late at this time, and it would not be appropriate to go to Baoxiang Pavilion to drink flower wine. She planned to stop by and buy soup dumplings before returning home to satisfy her grandma, Old Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Wang. addiction.

After Zhou's family moved to the mansion, the distance is really convenient. She only needs to walk along the East Street to the street, then turn into Xiyan Street, and walk a hundred or so steps along Xiyan Street to reach Zhou's house.

However, not long after she left the shop, she unexpectedly saw his nemesis, Li Wei'an, the son of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu family.

Walking beside Li Wei'an was a young man in a white shirt, followed by two young servants, walking straight towards her.

Li Wei'an walked in the front, approached, and taunted her head-on: "Hey, Zhou Jinyu, I heard that you are also going to choose a son-in-law?"

Zhou Jinyu frowned.As soon as Li Wei'an opened his mouth, his words were sarcasm, and his face was hideous.

Now that I think about it, since she was studying at Qiulu Academy five years ago, Li Wei'an and her have been old enemies!

Li Wei'an is the son of Li Chang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Five years ago, Zhou Jinyu was still studying with the young prince Sun Hao. Because of the honor of the young prince Sun Hao, she and Sun Hao went to the first national school under the supervision and supervision of the current emperor. Lu Academy to study.At the same time, Li Wei'an, the son of the Master Shangshu's family, was also studying at Qiulu Academy.

Zhou Jinyu is the fourth son of the richest businessman in the capital, and Li Wei'an is the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry. According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, the ranks of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce are distinct, and the two have no intersection on weekdays.The two of them are looking for their own fun in Qiulu Academy, that is, they meet each other and nod to each other for friendship, and there is absolutely no deep hatred.

But then I don't know when, the small group represented by Li Wei'an began to oppose Zhou Jinyu frequently.

Li Wei'an either burned Zhou Jinyu's homework assigned by her husband, or broke her brush in front of Zhou Jinyu, or stole Zhou Jinyu's book bag.Later, it became more and more violent. Li Wei'an entangled several children from aristocratic families, and directly blocked Zhou Jinyu in a corner, punching and kicking him.

It was only later that Zhou Jinyu figured out that the reason why Li Wei'an hated her was only because she was betrothed to Princess Mu, Zheng Nishang, of the Prince's family in Yunnan.

But the matter of getting married was clearly a misunderstanding.And she was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, even if she and Zheng Nishang were engaged, everyone was still young, so what could be done?

But although Zhou Jinyu didn't take it seriously, Li Wei'an did.Princess Mu Zheng Nishang of the Yunnan Prince's Mansion is knowledgeable in books and etiquette, and is gentle and pleasant.Because Zheng Nishang was born in the south of the Yangtze River, she is different from the informal girls in the north. She has fair skin and a soft voice from the south of the Yangtze River. Especially Zheng Nishang is also good at singing and dancing. Most of the young men in Qiulu Academy like her.

Although Zhou Jinyu was not included in the big team that liked Zheng Nishang, Li Wei'an was included!

Therefore, when the news of Zhou Jinyu's engagement to Princess Mu Zheng Nishang spread, Li Wei'an was the first to seek her out to question her. He was jealous and hated Zhou Jinyu!

Although he was jealous of Zhou Jinyu, it was just a matter of tripping Zhou Jinyu up in private. Zhou Jinyu would usually get his revenge the next day.

But Zhou Jinyu never dreamed that Li Wei'an would be so despicable, that he would implicate his personal grievances with her second brother Zhou Zimu.

In the sixth year of Tianshun, Zhou Zimu had just passed the spring exam and was waiting for news at home.Later, as expected, someone from the palace passed the decree, saying that Zhou Zimu was the champion of high school, and the whole Zhou family was immersed in the joy of his high school.

Later, Zhou Zimu was favored by the prime minister, Meng Changru, and he was about to be transferred to the Ministry of Education as an official.

Everyone in the world knows that the head of Zhongshu Province is the prime minister, who is responsible for drafting edicts. He is the easiest person to get close to the present day. If you enter Zhongshu Province, your official career will be smooth!

Unexpectedly, in the end, Zhou Zimu not only did not enter the Ministry of Education, but was intercepted by the Ministry of Industry, so he had to be an idle official in the Ministry of Industry.Zhou Zimu's ambition to serve the country cannot be fulfilled, and he is frequently suppressed by his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry. He is very unhappy as an official.

Li Chang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is the biological father of Zhou Jinyu's old enemy Li Wei'an. If he said that this matter has nothing to do with Li Wei'an, he would believe it!

Although Zhou Jinyu wanted to take revenge and go back to help his second brother, but after this incident, Zhou Jinyu met Li Wei'an in the street, and always avoided it when he could, and avoided it when he could.After all, her second elder brother works under Li Wei'an's Lao Tzu, so she can't beat Li Wei'an whenever she can, and scold him whenever she can, as before.

Right now, Li Wei'an sneered and said, "Zhou Jinyu, I advise you to put away your dirty thoughts. Princess Yuanzhao is also someone like you who can climb high? Don't look at your own identity, do you have the ability!"

Zhou Jinyu looked over coldly, squinted his eyes and smiled, and asked, "What kind of person am I? And what identity?"

Li Wei'an said contemptuously, "Hmph! The son of a low-class merchant!"

Zhou Jinyu suddenly laughed: "That's true. But the son of a low-class businessman you kept saying was the one who took the test in the autumn of the previous year. He was the Tanhualang who was personally appointed by Long Live Lord Jinkou. If I remember correctly, he took the test in the autumn of the previous year. , are you Mr. Li also here? Dare I ask how many people have passed the exam? Where do you work now?"

"You!" Li Wei'an didn't expect Zhou Jinyu to be so sharp-tongued. His eyes widened, he was very unconvinced, but he couldn't refute.

Zhou Jinyu was condescending, and said coldly: "I, Zhou Jinyu, am a disciple of the Son of Heaven. And you, Li Wei'an, are just a commoner!"

Li Wei'an was stunned: "What? Zhou Jinyu, you are too shameless, everyone knows how your Tanhua got here!"

"So what? Is it possible that you want to resist the edict?" Zhou Jinyu continued in a cold voice: "So, don't talk about qualifications and status with me. If it comes to these things, I have more qualifications and status than you." She paused, and added: "Even though I don't care about the son-in-law of Lao Shizi you are fighting for."

"Zhou Jinyu, you...!" Li Wei'an was really blocked and speechless, he was "you you you" for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

Instead, the young man in white tugged at his sleeve, and after watching the excitement, he withdrew his playful gaze from Zhou Jinyu.Wen Sheng persuaded Li Wei'an: "Brother Li, didn't you say you were going to have a drink? I'm afraid you will make Brother Zhao and the others wait for a long time if you go late. Don't delay because of these fearless little things."

Hearing the words of the young man in white next to him, Li Wei'an suddenly seemed to have confidence and confidence. He pulled the young man's cuffs and sneered at Zhou Jinyu, "Zhou Jinyu, do you know who he is?"

Zhou Jinyu raised his eyebrows: "I'm not interested in knowing."

Li Wei'an said proudly: "He is the grandson of the Great General of Korea and the first son of the capital, Feng Weizhi. He is also the son-in-law appointed by the eldest princess!"

The previous titles are all false, and the last sentence is the key point.Judging from the meaning of his words, he must be the most vocal one among the son-in-laws of the eldest princess.

Zhou Jinyu squinted his eyes, and then looked again at the first son of the capital, Feng Weizhi, who was a gentleman on the surface, but didn't show his demeanor at all.
