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

[seven]

Wan Qiu accompanied Wei Huanian into the palace, but when the carriage was driving halfway, it began to rain thinly and densely in the sky. Wan Qiu opened the curtain of the car and stretched her hands out of the window until the cool liquid wet her hands. Take it back.

"Ah, princess, it's raining." Wan Qiu said.

Wei Huanian gave a soft 'hmm', and looked out along the curtain she opened, and saw that the pedestrians on the road began to quicken their pace, the pedestrians coming and going moved quickly, and finally only the silhouettes of people were left running. .The fine raindrops condensed into patches of mist, and it seemed that everything in the whole world began to become unreal.

Wan Qiu closed the car curtain, turned her head and asked, "Princess, shall we still go to the palace to meet the Empress?"

Wei Huanian said: "Go, didn't she say that she has something important to do, I will go there sooner or later."

Wan Qiu sighed: "Hey, the Empress is really too, I have to talk to you about something at night. You entered the palace in the middle of the night, and you have to give the Zichen Palace an explanation."

Zichen Palace is the residence of the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Chen.Concubine Chen had a quarrel with the empress, and her mother's debt was paid by her daughter, so she naturally targeted Wei Huanian everywhere, trying to find Wei Huanian's faults all the time.

Wei Huanian couldn't help laughing when he saw Wan Qiu's imminent catastrophe: "Don't think about it, it's getting dark now, let's go back quickly, we probably won't run into Concubine Chen's person."

Wan Qiu pouted: "Okay, listen to you."

Wan Qiu opened the curtain of the car again, looked out the window and said to himself: "Ah, why did it start to rain so quickly?"

It was very quiet in the carriage along the way, except for Wan Qiu who occasionally said a few words to her. In contrast, at this moment, outside the carriage was suddenly a little noisy.

"How much is this bun?" someone asked.

The voice sounded familiar. Wei Huanian looked out, and the young man in light blue clothes was already in a panic because of the rain. She was crowded in the crowd queuing up to buy steamed buns, stretching her head towards the steaming basket of meat buns. .

"Two pennies!" The boss replied.

The boy shouted: "Leave me a cage!"

The carriage was driving extremely fast, before Wei Huanian had time to see the man turn around, he only saw his back in the rain.

Wan Qiu followed her gaze and looked out of the car, seeing nothing but pedestrians: "Master, what are you looking at?"

Wei Huanian withdrew his gaze and shook his head: "It's nothing."

Zhou Jinyu finally rushed back to Zhou's house before the heavy rain. She was holding a paper bag in her hand, which was already wet by the rain. Wet through.

She is a little sad.

Of course, it's not just because of the paper bag containing meat buns, but also because she just met the first son of the capital, Feng Weizhi.

She doesn't like Feng Weizhi very much, whether in public or private, she doesn't like this hypocritical person.

After returning to the mansion, Zhou Xiaoshan, the servant who served her personally, came up to welcome her, and said worriedly: "Fourth Young Master, you are finally back, I was thinking of going out to find you just now."

Zhou Xiaoshan is the son of the old housekeeper Zhou Cheng. He used to serve Zhou Jinyu's elder brother Zhou Ziji, but after Zhou Ziji suddenly disappeared, he turned around to serve Zhou Jinyu.

Zhou Jinyu threw the paper bag containing the meat buns to Zhou Xiaoshan, and said dissatisfiedly, "I said, Zhou Xiaoshan, why do you look more and more like your father?" Seeing that the rain had been falling for at least half an hour Well, if he had the heart, he should have gone out to find her with an umbrella early in the morning, instead of just talking here like an afterthought, so she wouldn't be caught in the rain all the way.

Zhou Xiaoshan was confused: "Fourth young master, what are you talking about, how am I like my father?"

Zhou Jinyu snorted coldly: "Think for yourself!"

After Zhou Jinyu finished speaking, he ignored Zhou Xiaoshan and went straight to the inner hall.

Zhou Xiaoshan called her from behind: "Fourth young master, it's raining heavily, you take the umbrella before leaving."

Zhou Jinyu stopped in her tracks, turned her head and stared at Zhou Xiaoshan, Zhou Xiaoshan was stunned by her for a moment, and she became even angrier, and said angrily, "Master, I've been drenched all the way, so it's not too late! "

It was only then that Zhou Xiaoshan understood why his young master was angry with him, and quickly explained: "Just now Miss San asked me to help her make a kite, and I couldn't leave for a while, so I didn't go out to pick you up, and I thought..."

"Why?"

Zhou Xiaoshan scratched his head: "I thought you went to Baoxiang Pavilion for a drink just like last time."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

His guess was quite accurate, if they hadn't met Feng Weizhi halfway and they had also gone to Baoxiang Pavilion, if it hadn't happened to catch up with the heavy rain, she would not have come back so soon.

Zhou Jinyu pouted, pointed at the bag of buns in Zhou Xiaoshan's hand and said, "Take this to the kitchen, heat it up and send it to the old lady."

"Hey, I'll go now, little one." Zhou Xiaoshan quickly agreed.

Zhou Jinyu walked through the inner hall, bypassed the small garden in the backyard and came all the way to the east courtyard.

The east courtyard was originally the courtyard where she and her eldest brother Zhou Ziji lived. Zhou Ziji and her second brother Zhou Zimu were brothers from the same mother, and they were both born to the first wife of her stepfather Zhou Gongfu.Later, after the death of the original wife, Zhou Gongfu never remarried, until Zhou Jinyu's mother, Liu Wangchen, appeared and took her to marry Zhou Gongfu to fill in the house.Zhou Gongfu's original wife also left a daughter, that is, Zhou Ling'er, the third lady of the mansion.

Zhou Jinyu was the youngest. After her mother married, she became the "little fourth son" in the mouth of the servants in the mansion.

There are four rooms in the east courtyard, but since Zhou Ziji disappeared five years ago, she is the only one left in this huge courtyard.

Before entering the room, Zhou Jinyu stomped his feet to shake off the mud and rainwater from his shoes, then took off his wet robe and hung it on the hanger at the door.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the rain outside the window was pattering, looking like soft needles falling from the sky, falling into the puddles on the ground, rippling and forming circles of ripples.

She is not an elegant person, but she likes spring rain very much. When Zhou Xiaoshan opened the door and walked in, the breeze brought the rain on her face, which made her feel cool and very comfortable.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoshan came back, he stood in the room for a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhou Jinyu in a serious manner: "Fourth son, the old lady just told me that Chang'an City has not been peaceful in recent days."

Zhou Jinyu didn't take it seriously: "Oh."

"The old lady said that you should be careful, and you must remember to go out, and bring a few more people with you."

"What's not peaceful?" Zhou Jinyu turned around and opened the window, lying on the window to watch the rain.Zhou Xiaoshan was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he hurriedly went to get the fox fur from the closet for her, but Zhou Jinyu called out: "Stay here and don't move. Let me tell you, Zhou Xiaoshan, don't just listen to the old lady's scaremongering, she is old. I always like to think wildly."

Zhou Xiaoshan said: "It doesn't look like it to me. Today in front of the gate of the mansion, I also saw a few strong men dressed in black walking back and forth. I'm afraid there are thieves who have taken a fancy to the money in our mansion. Send someone to step in early."

Zhou Jinyu didn't take it seriously: "Even if there are thieves coming, with my martial arts, I can beat them all away!" However, after thinking about it, he ordered: "If this is true, I have to guard against it!" So, like this, when your mother comes back, go and talk to her, and ask her to instruct the female family members in the mansion to be more cautious when they go out, and don't be tied up and ask us for a ransom."

"Hey, come on! I'll talk about it when Madam comes back."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, and then he was relieved.

While talking, another servant came to report that there was a distinguished guest in the mansion and asked Zhou Jinyu to go and greet him.

While drinking hot tea, Zhou Jinyu asked casually: "What kind of distinguished guest can come to visit on a rainy night? Just tell him that the master of our house is not here, so tell him to go back. "

"No way, Fourth Young Master!" The young man stammered, "That person claims to be the chief steward of the Eldest Princess's mansion, and he said that the Eldest Princess has something important to discuss with you, and he wants to invite you to the manor by name."

"What?" Hearing this, Zhou Jinyu almost spit out the hot tea he just drank in his mouth, "No, where is this? She can't wait so soon?"

"Who can't wait?" The boy was stunned: "What did you say, Fourth Young Master?"

Zhou Jinyu waved his hands in frustration, and said with more certainty: "You...you go back to the butler now, and just say I'm not here!"

The boy wondered: "But the housekeeper said he must see you. If you don't see him, he will wait in the mansion."

"..." Zhou Jinyu held his breath up to his throat, neither spit it out nor swallowed it down.

What's going on here?

As soon as the old concubine handed over her portrait to the palace, before she could write her horoscope, the eldest princess wanted to send someone to invite her.

Could it be that he fell in love with her at a glance?But even if she falls in love with her, she can't invite people over the house in the middle of the night!What did you want to find her in the middle of the night?It's not appropriate for orphans and widows to live in the same room, right?

It can be seen that this eldest princess really doesn't look like a serious girl, and she doesn't even want the reservedness of her daughter's family!Thinking about it, the reserved girl of a respectable family would definitely not have a child out of wedlock like her eldest princess, nor would she have an extra son at a young age, and even if she had an extra son, she would definitely not raise it to such a big age!

The more Zhou Jinyu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he didn't have a good impression of the eldest princess, so he said, "Go and tell the housekeeper of the princess mansion, just say that I went to Lingnan for a tour of mountains and rivers. I just left yesterday. After half a year Nei will not come back, if he is willing to wait, let him wait!"

Boy: "...here."

"What?" Seeing that the boy still refused to leave, Zhou Jinyu yelled, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go!"

"Yes... yes... little one, let's go!" The servant walked away in great embarrassment.

Seeing people leave, Zhou Jinyu was so full of anger that she had nowhere to vent her anger. She drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, and drank it all, still feeling that this matter was everywhere. Embarrass her.

Zhou Xiaoshan asked very curiously: "Fourth son, why do you think the eldest princess wants to see you?"

"How do I know that!" Zhou Jinyu said angrily, "It must be that the Eldest Princess has learned about my handsome appearance and imposing appearance from somewhere, so she eagerly wants to come to see you."

"Ah?" Zhou Xiaoshan opened his mouth wide when he heard the words, and his eyes lit up: "There is another thing! But I really heard that the guards in the eldest princess's mansion used to bring men to the mansion, I usually avoid people, but there is an impenetrable wall here."

"Bah!" Zhou Jinyu became even angrier when he heard it: "Who am I, Zhou Jinyu? Is it someone her unreserved eldest princess can think of?"

Zhou Xiaoshan had nothing to say to Zhou Jinyu's self-conscious statement, so he quickly said that he still had other things to do, and retreated.

Zhou Jinyu also had nothing to say, thinking that at this moment, somewhere in Chang'an City, some indiscreet woman who had become a mother might be secretly thinking about her handsome portrait, she felt very sad. It's hard to calm down, and the goosebumps on my body are about to fall off.

After this incident, the only bit of sympathy she had left for the eldest princess who had a child out of wedlock and was ridiculed and criticized by the world behind her back——

In an instant, nothing remained.
