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

[86]

Zhou Jinyu woke up the next day and received two letters in a row.One was sent back by her second brother Zhou Zimu to report her safety, and the other was not signed. Zhou Jinyu opened the letter and took a look, it was written to her by the old grandson.

Lao Suntou wrote in the letter that he was going to leave for a few days, fearing that Zhou Jinyu would not be able to find him at the wonton shop, so he told her, and he didn't say the specific reason for leaving.

The letter Zhou Zimu sent back said that everything was going well for him in the village, and the village head and Lizheng took good care of him, asking her to tell Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu so they don't have to worry.

After Zhou Jinyu put away the two letters, he came to the front yard and told Mrs. Zhou about Zhou Zimu's matter. After listening to Zhou Jinyu's words, Mrs. Zhou felt relieved.

Zhou Jinyu returned to the east courtyard after breakfast, passed by the small study and was about to enter, when she saw the wooden door of the study was closed, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Baozi could not come today.

She was not used to it.

She suddenly felt a little awkward in her heart. Logically speaking, it was only natural for her to think about Xiao Baozi. After all, two people, one big and one small, have been together for so many days. Let alone a child, even a kitten and puppy should be born. Emotional.

But on the one hand, she was a little repulsive, thinking that it is true that she likes Baozi, and it is true that she likes Little Baoziniang, but Little Baoziniang's attitude has always been ambiguous, even if she does not have a husband now, she may not be willing to be with her , then in the future, Xiao Baozi will no longer be his own.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu became a little irritable. When she returned to her room, she saw Zhou Xiaoshan sneaking around in front of her door again. Zhou Jinyu pretended not to see, and went straight to the room.

When she had just passed the threshold, she turned around again, looked at Zhou Xiaoshan and asked, "Zhou Xiaoshan, I'm thirsty, go and get me a cup of tea."

Zhou Xiaoshan immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Fourth Young Master, I'll let someone make tea for you, little one."

Zhou Jinyu frowned, and immediately asked, "What's the matter, I can't command you anymore?"

Zhou Xiaoshan was taken aback for a moment, seeing Zhou Jinyu's displeased face, he immediately said, "Yes, I'll bring it for you personally."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, closed the door, and went back into the room.

She immediately came to the wooden box where the letter was placed, opened it to look, and saw that Zhou Zimu's letter and Lao Suntou's letter had been tampered with again. Zhou Jinyu was careful when he put the letter down. She deliberately made the fronts of the two letters face each other, and staggered the two letters by the length of a thumb, and stuffed a strand of hair in the gap between the two letters.

Now that the box was opened, the strands of hair had already run into the corner, and although the two letters were still facing each other, they were placed neatly and stacked together.

Zhou Jinyu understood, last time she was a little uncertain, but this time she was almost convinced.

At this time, Jin Feng, the guard, knocked on the door and came in. He cupped his fists and saluted, "Fourth Young Master."

Zhou Jinyu nodded and asked, "What did you see just now?"

Jin Feng replied truthfully: "The villain just saw Zhou Xiaoshan enter the room, and then moved the wooden box you are looking at now, my lord."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, and ordered: "Keep watching him, see where he spreads the news, remember, don't startle the snake."

Jinfeng clasped his fists again: "Yes, the villain understands." Jinfeng paused for a moment, before hesitating to speak: "Fourth son... there is something, the villain doesn't know whether to say it or not."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Say, is there anything you can't say? Just say it."

Jin Feng said: "The last time Miss San went to Qianlong Temple, she met a man privately without telling the old lady."

Zhou Jinyu was stunned: "Is there such a thing?" Then he laughed again, and asked very gossip: "Which man has she fallen in love with again? Tell me quickly."

Jinfeng replied: "This villain doesn't know, but he followed that man all the way to the Water Transport Wharf, and heard the workers on the wharf call him to the leader."

"Xiang Gangzhu, Xiang Nantian and big brother?"

Zhou Jinyu was really stunned at this moment. Zhou Linger had a private meeting with a man in Qianlong Temple.It's just that if the man is Xiang Nantian, this matter cannot be justified. After all, Zhou Linger planned to elope with Xiang Nantian's brother Sima Ye, and now he is entangled with Xiang Nantian again. No matter how you think about it, this matter is very strange .

Zhou Jinyu couldn't help but irritatedly said: "Why is Sister Ling always so annoying? What exactly is she trying to do?"

Jin Feng paused, and finally asked: "Fourth Young Master, what should the villain do next?"

Zhou Jinyu waved his hand feebly: "You don't need to worry about Miss Ling's affairs, I'll just watch her and don't let her go out. The most urgent thing is to see where Zhou Xiaoshan sends the news back, and who is free? What the hell, you actually bought off me, a servant of a plain-headed commoner, why don't you worry about each of them!"

Jin Feng nodded: "Yes, the villain knows."

After Jinfeng retreated, after a while, Zhou Xiaoshan knocked on the door with tea, Zhou Jinyu sat on a chair and said, "Come in."

Zhou Xiaoshan brought a cup of tea to Zhou Jinyu. Zhou Jinyu took the tea, took a sip, and burned his tongue.

She put the teacup back on the table and heard Zhou Xiaoshan say: "Fourth Young Master, if you have nothing else to do, the villain will go down and get busy first."

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Go."

Zhou Xiaoshan bowed politely again and withdrew.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoshan's back, Zhou Jinyu couldn't recover for a while.

She remembered that when she first came to the Zhou family, Zhou Xiaoshan was actually very kind to her. At that time, she and the Liu family had just arrived. Be contemptuous.

But different from other servants, Zhou Xiaoshan has been running back and forth in front of the two of them, his legs and feet are very nimble.

As for later, the Liu family moved to the new mansion on their own accord. Zhou Jinyu and Zhou Ziji, the boss of the Zhou family, were assigned to the East Courtyard, and Zhou Xiaoshan followed him to the East Courtyard to serve him. By Zhou Jinyu's side, he specially began to serve Zhou Jinyu.

After returning from Qianlong Temple, Zhou Jinyu had a fever all over her body, almost lost all strength, and was so unconscious that she couldn't even stand upright. It was Zhou Xiaoshan who found out in time and sent her to a doctor.

And she asked herself, she did not do anything to treat Zhou Xiaoshan harshly.

Whether she has feelings for Zhou Xiaoshan or Zhou Xiaoshan for her, they all have feelings for each other.

In fact, when it comes to feelings, Zhou Jinyu has always been nostalgic. The girls and servants in her yard, as long as the other party didn't take the initiative to ask for a yard adjustment, she would keep them all the time. There are two warnings, and there has never been any specific punishment.

So after learning that Zhou Xiaoshan was probably working for someone in the dark, it was extremely difficult to accept for a while, even a little sad.

But she quickly recovered. According to what Zhao Guangsheng said yesterday, there are only seven days left before the scientific examination. Last time Feng Weizhi said that he would compete with her in the imperial examination room. She really didn't understand what he said. What do you mean?

Seemingly humble but actually arrogant and contemptuous of everything, right?

What to wear!

Really boring!

But she later figured it out. A wealthy young man like Feng Weizhi, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, was later praised by his friends in the capital as the number one son in the capital. Should be innate.

Just like Zhou Jinyu never worried that his money would be spent one day, as long as the Zhou family is still there and Qingfeng Nian is still there, then the Zhou family's money will never be spent one day.

This is her confidence.

And Feng Weizhi's confidence is his father, Feng Boyang, who is the Minister of the Household Department, and his grandfather Han Xinxin, who is the most powerful man in the dynasty.

Lying on the bed, Zhou Jinyu rubbed his brows: "Seven days...the days go by so quickly."

After she said such a nonsensical remark, she closed her eyes and began to think about falling asleep.

But after tossing and turning for a while, he couldn't fall asleep, so he got up again, found the wooden box under the bed, opened it, took out a pair of earrings inside, and put it on his ears in front of the bronze mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror for a while, she looked at herself dressed in men's clothing, but she was measuring a pair of earrings on her ears. Then she raised her orchid fingers pretending to be a little girl, and made a gesture of extreme affectation. .

She suddenly gave herself goosebumps.

She wore the earrings in men's clothing, so she looked awkward, she quickly took off the earrings, and then quickly put them back into the wooden box, like a child who has done something wrong.

Forget it……

Zhou Jinyu thought helplessly: Oh, forget it.

Sure enough, she might never have rouge and gouache in her life. It's a pity that she is still a big girl with a yellow flower in her youth.

In fact, the root cause of all this was the fire in Niujia Village, which not only burned her relatives to death, but also destroyed her identity as a daughter.

Since coming to the capital, Zhou Jinyu has been thinking about revenge for the fire that year.

In fact, she even thought that with the deep inner strength passed to her by her unreliable master, if she was willing to cut herself apart and not afraid of death, she might be able to fight once, and maybe kill that enemy up.

But she always felt that the fire in Niujia Village killed so many of her relatives in vain, and now she and Liu have changed their names and changed their surnames to hide for so many years, and they have been wronged for so many years, but that person is wearing a hypocritical mask. For so many years, Zhou Jinyu always felt reconciled if his reputation was not ruined.

But while hatred and anger aroused in her heart, she also felt a little confused.

Before, she thought that as long as she became an official, she could compete with that person.

But later she realized that even if she became an official, her identities were too different from that person's, and she might not be able to take revenge for a while. Not enough evidence at all.

After getting acquainted with Lao Suntou, she understood this point even more under the advice of Lao Suntou.

The old grandson told her that if she wanted to take revenge, she could only keep climbing. Only when she was in power and became a minister, could she have the absolute right to speak and be able to take revenge as she wanted, so the old grandson told her. Sun Tou first year suggested that she go for the No. [-] Scholar Examination, and she really went.

She asked the old grandson at that time: "Uncle Sun, I have never been in contact with officialdom, and I don't know anything about it. I'm afraid..."

The old grandson narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will pave the way for you."
