It snowed for a few days, and Zhao Jinyu squatted at home for a few days. She didn't know it at all. Because of her unintentional action, the whole palace and even the whole capital shook.
Five days later, when she finished eating the only food left at home, the snow finally stopped.
Zhao Jinyu put on a thick cotton coat and gloves to clear the snow out of the yard, and then cooked a meal. She still remembered that there was a piece of bacon in the kitchen, put two potatoes on it, and added a few A stewed nest of spicy peppers, served with hot rice, is really delicious in this cold winter.
There was a knock on the door, Zhao Jinyu put the broom aside and walked out quickly, stopped at the door and asked cautiously, "Who?"
"it's me."
Zhao Jinyu got up and opened the door bolt when she heard the voice. Outside the door stood a woman in her thirties. She was wearing a floral padded jacket and had gentle eyebrows. The wife of Governor Zhang next door, Mrs. Wen, was a bit worried. He said, "It's been snowing for the past few days. I guess you haven't gone out. It just so happened that Uncle Zhang brought some radishes and salted duck eggs back from outside yesterday and asked me to send you some."
Vegetables are not easy to store, and they are even more precious in this cold winter. Zhao Jinyu knew that Governor Zhang came from a poor family, and he lived on that little salary, and his life was not rich. Quickly declined, "Thank you, Auntie, but I still have them at home."
Wen is a very gentle person, but sometimes he can be very stubborn, just like now, when he heard Zhao Jinyu say this, he immediately put on a straight face, and said displeasedly, "Your family and I have also been neighbors for many years. , Aunt doesn’t know about your family’s situation yet? Don’t you think your aunt is an outsider when you say that?”
Because Governor Zhang and Zhao Jinyu's father, Zhao Changchun, were Jinshi students in the same year and were neighbors, the two families were particularly close.
The two refused for a long time, Zhao Jinyu reluctantly accepted the basket of food under Wen's insistence, and the two chatted for a while, but it was whose house was crushed by the snow, and how many people came to beg from outside the city , how much the price of rice has risen after it snowed, and so on, and finally Wen said, "Be careful these few days, don't open the door to strangers, your Uncle Zhao said something big happened in the palace."
"What's up?"
Governor Zhang is working in the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture, so he naturally knows some inside information.
Wen looked around vigilantly, saw no one around, and whispered close to Zhao Jinyu's ear, "The emperor was furious, very angry, and arrested many people in the palace, saying that he lost very valuable items. The whole capital searched, and even the envoys of the left and right Jinyi guards rushed back to the capital to investigate this matter."
"What kind of rare treasure has even Jin Yiwei's left and right envoys summoned back?"
Wen Shi shook his head helplessly, and said, "Which one is worth a lot if you get a imperial character? But it has nothing to do with us, you just remember to be careful these few days." Wen Shi said this and glanced at Zhao Jinyu Looking at her complexion, seeing that she was slightly paler and her eyes were clear, thinking of her situation, she still couldn't help but sighed.
After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Jinyu, are you planning to live alone in the house?"
Zhao Jinyu pursed her lips and bowed her head without speaking.
Wen's is not a broken-mouthed person, but she has been neighbors with Zhao's family since she first got married, and she almost watched Zhao Jinyu grow up, and cared for her quite a bit.
Zhao Jinyu was not born to the Zhao family, but a child picked up nine years ago. Ever since Zhao Changchun was implicated in the corruption case of Yan Shangshu, the Zhao family almost went bankrupt in order to rescue him. Afterwards, there was really little hope. Zhao Changchun's wife Xu took her son Zhao Jingchuan back to her hometown in Jinling, leaving Zhao Jinyu all alone. Throwing it here is actually no different from throwing it away.
Seeing no response from Zhao Jinyu, Mrs. Wen sighed secretly, found a step by herself, changed the subject and said, "Jinyu, this radish is very sweet, you can eat it after peeling off the skin, Shubao and Shuzhen are both smelly!" The boy ate half of the basket in just half a day, and ate the sauced beef that Uncle Zhang was going to entertain guests, and you were so angry that Uncle Zhang chased the street with a mallet... "
Zhao Jinyu liked the Zhang family's twins very much, and said with a smile, "It's time to grow up, so it's not surprising to be greedy, but Uncle Zhang must be very angry."
"That's not it..., even I scolded me, saying that I should quickly put it back in my stomach, and that it would be great if I was half as obedient as you." Although Wen sighed, her face was full of mother's special love Smiling, "It's okay, I'll go first, I have to buy some more sauced beef, hey, these two children are really worrying." Cattle are farm cattle, and the control was very strict in ancient times, so beef is also very precious, and it has always been expensive. Zhao Jinyu knew that this was Wen's concern for money.
After hearing this, Zhao Jinyu said, "Auntie, I still have some bacon..."
Wen's pretended to be angry and said, "I gave you the bacon last time, and the family still has a lot. Do you still want to return it?"
Zhao Jinyu was moved in her heart, rubbed the back of her hands that were a little cold, and offered some advice for Wen, "Auntie, the radish is actually quite delicious when it is cooked, and what is most lacking in this winter is this fresh vegetable. You cut the radish into shreds and sprinkle it Add a little sesame oil, diced green onion, salt, mix it a little, it is crispy, refreshing, especially appetizing, as for the bacon... you set up a pot, put charcoal under it to cook, put dried mushrooms, vermicelli, and bacon to wait It’s boiled, it’s steaming, and I’m not afraid of it getting cold, so I don’t have to go back and forth to reheat the dishes.” The more Zhao Jinyu talked, the more she devoted herself, her eyes were shining brightly, and she was no longer sad like before.
Wen's heart was tumbling emotionally. Other girls would have cried to death when they encountered such a thing, but she was fine. Although she was a little sad, she acted as if nothing had happened in the blink of an eye, and told her so enthusiastically It can be seen that he is very open-minded and sensible about eating food. Thinking about it like this makes her feel more and more distressed. He thought about going back to discuss with his husband and how to find a way to take care of her, but he didn't show it at all, and said happily, "You That’s a good idea, I’ll go back and get it done, then I’ll go back first, you should be careful, if you have something to do, just call through the wall, we can all hear you.”
After waiting for Wen's to leave, Zhao Jinyu only felt hungry. It turned out that after telling Wen's for a long time, he was very hungry. He worked harder to clear the snow in the yard, thinking about finishing the meal quickly.
"Hey, what is this?"
Zhao Jinyu looked at a white stone in the snowdrift, and murmured with some doubts.
This stone is very beautiful, with a bright white color and a beautiful round shape, which is not inferior to white jade in the bright sunlight. She touched it a little bit fondly.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and patted her thigh. This was the bouncing stone a few nights ago. Speaking of which, she was sleepy and cold at the time, and her thoughts were muddy. It is obviously more interesting to see than at night.
"Didn't you move a few days ago?"
"You dance one and show me!"
"Is it my illusion?"
"Why is there no reaction at all!"
"Hey, I must have fallen asleep at the time!"
After Zhao Jinyu had been talking for a long time without seeing any reaction from the stone, she had to admit that she might have been in a daze at the time. Thinking about it like this, she felt relieved. How could there be so many incredible things in this world? As a result, as soon as I put the stone down, I suddenly felt very hungry. It was snowing a few days ago, Zhao Jinyu cooked a nest of porridge, and got up to heat it up to eat when I was hungry. I just fooled around for a few days, thinking that today will be better no matter what. It was a good meal.
Zhao Jinyu casually threw the stone into the unused water tank on the porch, turned around and went to the kitchen to cook, ==.
As the night fell, the originally lifeless white stone slowly regained a bit of aura, but when it realized that it had moved from the original snowdrift to a dark place, it was full of violent anger. Hostility, what kind of broken place is this!
Who got him here? Could it be that woman from last time again
Emperor Wuling's nose was about to crooked with anger, and his eyes were gloomy. When he thought of the most supreme being turned into a stone at night, he felt that there was nowhere to vent his evil spirit. He just wanted to relate this matter to everyone. Including Zhao Jinyu, who dared to throw herself out, they all executed Ling Chi to feel that they could alleviate their anger a little, but obviously, now is not the right time.
It was dark all around, and the emperor wanted to go out unwillingly,
After bouncing around a few times, I realized that this time someone threw it into the water tank, and the stone made a crisp bang when it hit the surface of the tank. After three days of turning into a stone, the emperor was more or less used to it, he thought helplessly. Come on, go to sleep, wake up after a nap, you can go back to the palace tomorrow, he has already ordered Jin Yiwei to search for this body, wait to find it..., put it in the palace, even if it turns into a stone at night It's just a different way of sleeping. As for what Master Huizhen said about killing evil
Hehe, the emperor just thought it was very ridiculous. How many emperors didn't step on corpses to get to this point. Could it be that every emperor would encounter such a catastrophe? He doesn't believe it at all!
What's more, he doesn't believe in fate. If he believed in fate, he wouldn't be the second prince to where he is today. He only believes in himself!
The emperor stabilized his mind, and gradually closed his eyes, as usual, as long as he fell asleep, but this time, for some reason, there was a strong scent that made people move their index fingers, rippling on the tip of his nose , People can't help but salivate again and again.
what does it smell like
It smells so good! The smell of the food became more and more intense, and the emperor couldn't sit still all the time around the tip of his nose. He didn't realize it himself. After turning into a stone, his temperament became a little irritable, and it was difficult to control his anger and desire. Just like now, if it was on the body, naturally he would not feel how greedy a food is, but now he is so greedy like a child that he is almost drooling.
The emperor looked up, down, left, and right in the water tank, and suddenly found that there was a broken gap near the bottom of the water tank on the left, just the size of a walnut, allowing it to drill out.
