After Shen, Zou began to look at it frequently.

"Why haven't you come back yet?" Zou said to himself for the tenth time: "It's all this hour." ”

Mother Li explained Zou with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs., it must be the virtuous concubine who left them to talk in the palace!" ”

Zou snorted, and after a while, he couldn't help muttering: "They shouldn't have caused any trouble in the palace!" ”

"How could this be?" Mother Li took over the conversation with a smile: "The young master is knowledgeable, and the young lady is even more gentle and polite, and there will be no mistakes." If you say that you are in trouble, the person who should be worried is Miss Ji San. ”

That's just as well.

Zou laughed unkindly.

Compared with Ji Yu, Xu Jinyu is simply too worry-free. He is not as good as Xiao Zou now, but he has such an excellent pair of children, which can be compared to Xiao Zou's by a distance!

Thinking of this, Zou's heart was overflowing with pride.

The maid Chun'er hurriedly came in to report: "Madam, madam, they have returned, and now it is time to go to Tinglan Courtyard." ”

Zou's eyes lit up, and he got up and went to Tinglan Courtyard without thinking

After staying in the palace for a long time and sitting in a carriage for more than half an hour, Xu Jinyu only felt very tired.

Not only Xu Jinyu, but also Xiao Zou and others. The palace is no better than other places, and you must always be careful. Always pay attention to your words and deeds, so after a long time, it is strange not to be tired.

After arriving at Tinglan Courtyard, everyone almost unanimously breathed a sigh of relief.

Zou hurriedly walked in, glanced at Xu Zheng first, and saw Xu Zheng's face flushed with the smell of wine floating on his body, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Zheng'er, did you drink in the palace today?" Didn't get drunk and lose your manners! ”

Xu Zheng did drink a lot of wine today, and he had been pressing himself up before, but when he relaxed at this time, he only felt that the strength of the wine was surging. He didn't want Zou to worry, so he tried his best to understate: "It's just a few drinks." ”

How can you blush like this with only a few drinks!

Zou was distressed and anxious: "You should always know how much you drink, why do you drink so much wine." As he spoke, he couldn't help but glared at Xu Jinyu with disgust: "Why didn't you remind your brother?" ”

Why is it to blame on her?

Men and women were seated separately, and she and Xu Zheng were not together at all at lunch.

Before Xu Jinyu could confess, Xu Zheng opened his mouth: "Mother, how can I blame my sister for this." She is with her aunt, I am with my cousin and King Qin, how is she going to remind me? ”

Zou was choked speechless.

Ji Ze's eyes flashed, and he said gently: "I am to blame for this matter." Today, the two highnesses of King Qin and King Chu are here, and the cousin of the Chen family is also there, I want to let Cousin Zheng and His Royal Highness King Qin get acquainted with each other, so I let Cousin Zheng drink a few more glasses. ”

As soon as Zou heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and threw the unhappiness just now out of the clouds: "It's still the prince's thoughtfulness, even if you are at the same table with His Royal Highness King Qin, you should drink a few more cups." ”

Xu Zheng: ""

This attitude has changed too quickly!

After all, she is her own mother, and she thinks about herself. Xu Zheng could only turn his head silently and exchanged a helpless look with Xu Jinyu.

Xiao Zou looked at Zou's smile and overjoyed, and secretly sneered in his heart, but said with concern: "I went to the palace today, everyone is tired." Eldest sister, you take Zheng'er and Jinniang back to rest first. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it tomorrow. ”

Zou responded with a smile.

After returning to Yinyan Pavilion, Zou immediately went to cook decanting soup.

After Xu Zheng drank the sobering soup, he was dragged to sleep and rest by the Zou family. As for Xu Jinyu, Zou has a belly to ask, so naturally there is no rest.

Zou's eccentricity is really everywhere.

Xu Jinyu smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart, cheering up to deal with Zou's interrogation.

Zou asked very carefully, and the one who paid the most attention to was King Qin: "Does His Royal Highness King Qin have a good impression of your eldest brother?" ”

"It should be good!" Xu Jinyu put aside his prejudices and replied truthfully: "With the noble status of King Qin, if he doesn't appreciate his eldest brother, he won't drink so much wine with his eldest brother." ”

His Royal Highness the dignified Prince of Qin, of course, there is no need to force himself for anyone.

Zou's heart was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great! I knew that Zheng'er would definitely be appreciated by the nobles when he entered the palace this time. In the future, if you are fortunate enough to be promoted by His Royal Highness King Qin, why worry about not having a bright future. ”

Xu Jinyu tugged at the corners of her lips and didn't say anything.

Zou is full of hope that Xu Zheng will get ahead, and of course he is happy to encounter such a "good" opportunity. She still didn't pour cold water on Zou at this time, and some words were privately agreed with Xu Zheng.

As for Princess An Ning's request for her to embroider a veil, although it was not a big deal, Xu Jinyu still sued the Zou family.

As expected, Zou was surprised again, and clenched Xu Jinyu's hand: "Jinniang, are you telling the truth?" Did Princess An Ning really ask you to embroider a veil for her? ”

Xu Jinyu smiled helplessly: "Mother, you hurt my hand." ”

Zou let go of his hand, but he was still full of joy: "Great! Your eldest brother got acquainted with His Royal Highness King Qin, and Princess An Ning looked at you differently. God really favors you brothers and sisters! ”

If the Zou family knew the fate of King Qin's brothers and sisters, they probably wouldn't think so!

Xu Jinyu responded perfunctorily with a few words, and her face showed tiredness.

Zou finally noticed Xu Jinyu's tiredness: "You must be tired too, go back to the house to rest." ”

It's finally released!

Xu Zheng slept until the next morning.

My stomach was empty, my stomach burned uncomfortably, and my head ached. Jun's face is a little pale, and his complexion is really not good-looking.

"Big brother," Xu Jinyu brought a bowl of boiled fragrant millet porridge and asked with concern, "How are you feeling now?" Drink some hot porridge to warm your stomach first. ”

Xu Zheng took the porridge and took a sip, the warm and fragrant rice porridge reached his abdomen, and it was really much more comfortable.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, Xu Zheng's face looked much better, and he raised his eyes to look at Xu Jinyu: "Sister, do you have something to say to me?" ”

Xu Zheng has always been careful and keen, and it is not unusual to notice that she has something on her mind.

Xu Jinyu smiled and asked seemingly casually, "Big brother, you met His Royal Highness King Qin yesterday. What do you think of him as a person? ”

Xu Zheng thought for a while and said: "I only saw him once, drank a few glasses of wine, and didn't say much, so I didn't know much about him." However, based on the first impression, he really lived up to the reputation of the virtuous king. Approachable, easy-going, kind, and unpretentious. It makes people feel good when they are very light. ”

Of course, King Qin is a powerful person! Otherwise, he would not be well-known in the government and the opposition and threaten the prince's status as a prince.

Xu Jinyu stared at Xu Zheng and asked slowly, "Big brother, if King Qin recruits you, will you agree?" ”

King Qin recruited him?

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then soon burst out laughing: "You're thinking too much!" The King of Qin leads the household department, controls the world's money, grain and taxes, the Qin Wangfu is full of talents, and there are many people who want to join the King of Qin, how can I get my turn. ”

He's just a talent ready to participate in the Autumn Festival. What qualifications do you have for His Royal Highness King Qin to solicit in person?

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and stubbornly asked: "You answer me honestly first, if King Qin intends to recruit, are you willing to take refuge in King Qin in the future?" ”

The face that is gentle and smiling on weekdays is extremely strict and serious at this time.

She's not joking, she's serious!

Xu Zheng was infected by her Yan Sù, and he also restrained his smile and thought about it seriously.

Xu Jinyu unconsciously held her breath, waiting for Xu Zheng's answer.

Xu Zheng didn't think about it for too long, and soon had an answer: "I want to be admitted to the imperial examination and embark on a career in an official career, and I have no intention of taking refuge in King Qin." ”

Defecting to King Qin is, of course, a shortcut to get ahead. But such shortcuts often mean great risks. King Qin is just a prince, but he is more saintly and virtuous than the crown prince. The government and the opposition only heard that King Qin did not know that there was a prince, and there would be hidden dangers in the future!

It's okay to have a good relationship with King Qin, but you don't have to surrender to Cheng.

He didn't want to be labeled as a "henchman of King Qin" early.

Xu Jinyu's heart raised high fell back to its original place in an instant, and her eyes were shining: "Big brother, it's great that you can think so!" ”

She had been worried in vain. Xu Zheng was not dazzled by the dignity and glory of King Qin.

After thinking about it again, Xu Jinyu's heart was sour again.

In her previous life, Xu Zheng was willing to be used by Ji Ze for her sake and became a party of King Qin. In this life, she will no longer fall into the trap of Xiao Zou and Ji Ze, and Xu Zheng will no longer be tired of her

Xu Zheng saw her expression change, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong with you?" What's weird today? ”

first inexplicably asked him if he wanted to join King Qin, and then expressed Xiàn's strangeness, which made people scratch their heads.

Xu Jinyu calmed down and smiled casually: "It's nothing." I'm just cranky and asking. ”

Xu Zheng was not so easy to fool, and looked at her fixedly: "Just ask casually and ask about such an important matter?" Are you hiding something from me? ”

Having such a smart and calm brother is really gratifying and a headache!

Xu Jinyu said to him: "You drank too much yesterday, don't run out today, take a good rest." Read more books when you have time."

"Xu Jinyu!" Xu Zheng made a rare handsome face: "Don't you want to fool the past." What the hell are you hiding from me? ”

Of course, Xu Jinyu would not tell the truth, and said with a "I'm busy" expression: "By the way, I promised Grandman An Ning to embroider a veil for her, and she will send someone to pick it up soon, so I have to hurry up and do it." I won't talk to you. ”

With that, he slipped away.

Xu Zheng looked at her back, angry and funny. However, he can finally be sure.

She really had something to hide from him, otherwise, how could she run away?
