Zhou Xingyun took Jin Run'er back home, and Xu Zhiqian and Xuanyuan Fengxue couldn't help but be surprised when they saw her.
Xuanyuan Fengxue did not expect that after Zhou Xingyun impeached the Jin family in the court, Jin Runer could calm down and come to negotiate with Zhou Xingyun.
Xu Zhiqian thought carefully for a moment, and she could understand why Jin Run'er was so disrespectful to Zhou Xingyun. The only people who could speak for the Jin family at this time and dared to stand up for the Jin family were Zhou Xingyun and the sixteenth son of the emperor.
However, Jin Run'er knew very well that Zhou Xingyun was obviously helping the Sixteenth Prince, but secretly he was part of the Crown Prince's faction. If she asked the Sixteenth Prince for help, Zhou Xingyun would definitely get in the way and drive her Jin family to annihilation.
On the contrary, Zhou Xingyun is now at the height of his power, not to mention that he can use various reasons to deceive the Emperor's Sixteenth Prince and thereby help the Jin family reduce the crime and punishment. Even if he does not say hello to the Emperor's Sixteenth Son and directly speaks for the Jin family in front of the Queen Mother,
The sixteenth prince of the emperor must also give him face and give him three points.
Jin Run'er considered asking the eldest princess Han Qiumiao for help, but unfortunately Han Qiumiao was unable to save herself, so the Empress Dowager gave it to Zhou Xingyun. It can be said that Zhou Xingyun has completely controlled the situation, and she has no other choice but to beg him for mercy.
"Miss Jin, please sit down." Zhou Xingyun invited Jin Run'er to sit down, then winked at Xu Zhiqian and asked the cute creature to serve tea. If possible, Zhou Xingyun really wanted Qin Shou and Li Xiaofan to lift Xuanyuan Chongwu who was lying unconscious in the living room.
Go, it's really an eyesore.
"Master Zhou said that there is a way to save my Jin family and save my father's life. Run'er is willing to listen to the details."
Jin's family was in decline, and Jin Run'er became much more honest. Seeing that Xu Zhiqian did not dare to provoke at all, she lost her previous aggressive aura.
Xu Zhiqian poured her a cup of tea, and Jin Run'er even nodded and said thank you to her, as if she was afraid that Xu Zhiqian would hold a grudge and say bad things about her in front of Zhou Xingyun, thus preventing Zhou Xingyun from helping her.
"Let's be honest, I do have the ability to save the Jin family. Unfortunately, I don't trust you. Miss Jin is very ambitious and self-interested. She is a strange woman with great ambitions. Now that I have brought the Jin family to a dead end, Miss Jin
You must hate me to the core. If I let the tiger return to the mountain and allow your Jin family to make a comeback, wouldn't I be in danger?"
"Sir, why do you need to ridicule Run'er? I am just a stupid woman who is conceited and applauded after being played by you. I don't have any capital to compete with you. The only thing I can do now is to beg you for charity. If you can't believe Run'er, I
I am willing to sign a contract of sale and become an adult’s plaything.”
"Ahem!" Wei Suyuan, who was practicing swordplay outside the living room, was no longer calm. At this time, she had to show her presence to prevent Zhou Xingyun from being obsessed with Jin Run'er as a plaything.
"I want to hear what Miss Jin has to say, why do you want to be the queen?"
"When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. As Mr. Zhou said, I am an ambitious person who cannot satisfy the current situation. That is why I ended up in this situation."
"Do you regret it now?"
"I just do what I want to do. It's a pity that I can't succeed, but I have no regrets."
Zhou Xingyun silently stared at the girl. At this time, Jin Runer was very honest. In order to save the Jin family, she really opened her heart to negotiate with Zhou Xingyun.
Perhaps as Jin Run'er said, she was not qualified to negotiate with Zhou Xingyun. The only thing she could do was to put down her dignity, tell the truth, and beg Zhou Xingyun for mercy.
"Why did you come up with the idea of becoming a queen? You even wanted to... turn your back on guests."
"For no reason, I saw an opportunity, so I wanted to seize it."
"What opportunity does Miss Jin see? The opportunity to become the empress?"
Zhou Xingyun asked boldly, and Jin Runer answered very calmly...
"The current prince is an idealist with no ambition and no achievements. He can be a good person, but he cannot be a good emperor. If the country falls into his hands, it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of interested people. By then, there will be thousands of people
The appearance of the sixteenth son of the emperor may bring chaos to the world. The sixteenth son of the emperor is the opposite of the prince. He is a ruthless and capable leader. Unfortunately, the sixteenth son of the emperor is too greedy and ambitious. He wants to act first before the great cause is accomplished, and becomes dictatorial and dictatorial.
, use force, indulge in lust, and become a tyrant after becoming emperor."
"All in all, regardless of whether the Sixteenth Prince or His Highness the Crown Prince, I think they are unlikely to succeed, and I think I can control them, so I have this idea. To be honest, if the person who inherits the throne is Mr. Zhou, I will definitely not take risks.
"
Jin Run'er dared to say that the Jin family was already in dire straits anyway, and saying some treacherous words would not cause more trouble.
"That's what she said, what does His Highness think?" Zhou Xingyun asked Han Feng outside the door. The reason why he asked Jin Run'er was because Han Feng consciously came to his house as a guest and was standing outside the house now.
eavesdrop.
Wei Suyao's loud 'ahem' not only reminded Zhou Xingyun not to be fooled by Jin Run'er's beauty trap, but also reminded him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived and asked him to be careful when talking to Jin Run'er.
Han Feng walked into the room awkwardly. He didn't expect that among outsiders, he was actually an ambitious but useless young man.
"You are indeed the prince." Jin Run'er glanced at Han Feng tepidly. Now she had no idea about Han Feng at all. When the Jin family reached this land, only Zhou Xingyun could help her find a way out.
"What's the situation of your Jin family now?" Zhou Xingyun then asked. Jin Zhenghan is being held in prison. Logically speaking, the Queen Mother will send someone to seal the Jin family soon.
"There was no movement when I went out, but people at home were panicked and very confused..."
"When I left the imperial city, I heard my mother say that after Master Jin is convicted, the Jin family will be sealed off and the mansion will be given to Brother Zhou." Han Feng revealed the inside information, which must be 100% accurate.
Zhou Xingyun just said that he was promoted to an official position but didn't get a penny. Dare to fall in love with a minister's mansion, which is worth ten thousand taels of gold.
In addition, fortunately, the Empress Dowager did not rush to seal up the Jin family, otherwise the Sixteenth Son of the Emperor would definitely use his power to bring Jin Run'er, the daughter of the guilty minister, back to the official residence and ravage her in a fancy way.
It is estimated that Jin Run'er was also afraid of being caught by the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor, so she put on her cloak and rain hat when going out to prevent others from alerting her.
"Yes. Miss Jin should be happy. If you and I trust each other, the Jin Family Shangshu Palace given to me by the Queen Mother will still be your Jin Family Shangshu Palace."
"If Mr. Zhou is willing to show kindness, Run'er will not be able to repay him, but he is willing to be a dog and horse for you." Jin Run'er stood up from the chair, walked to Zhou Xingyun, knelt down Yingying, and fell to the ground, letting Zhou Xingyun see that a beautiful woman begs for help.
Correct posture.
Jin Run'er was wearing a luxurious cheongsam today. When Zhou Xingyun saw her kneeling on the ground with her back straight and her head bent, he really wanted to go around behind the beautiful woman, lift up her robe and skirt and play a game of folding arhat that is not suitable for children...
"Let's see. It is said that Miss Jin is a superb cook. You and I have a competition. If you can win, I will promise you to persuade the Queen Mother to be merciful and save Jin's life, and not to hold the Jin family jointly and severally responsible, so that
Your whole Jin family will have a happy ending." Zhou Xingyun said naively.
Han Feng was very confused when he heard this, but did not express an opinion. First, because the disaster did not harm his wife and children, and the women and children of the Jin family were really pitiful. Second, he trusted Zhou Xingyun very much, and believed that he must have his reasons for doing this.
"Mr. Zhou is very talented. Run'er is so happy to lose. His cooking skills can't match yours. I beg you to let Run'er go." Jin Run'er immediately admitted defeat, not to mention whether her cooking skills could rival Zhou Xingyun's, even if she could.
Even if she beat him, she couldn't compete with him, because she knew that she was the loser, and the loser had no right to challenge the winner. If she beat Zhou Xingyun in cooking, it might make him unhappy. If she lost in the competition... Zhou Xingyun
She really couldn't afford not to save the Jin family.
Therefore, Jin Runer restrained her arrogance and begged for mercy honestly without any unnecessary thoughts.
"If I had known this, why bother? I'm hungry. Take what you have learned all your life and make a lunch that satisfies me. If you can't even do this, then don't blame me for being unreasonable." Zhou Xingyun is tepid.
He said that this was a task he gave Jin Run'er. It depends on whether the girl understands what he means and whether she can complete the task perfectly.
"Brother Xingyun, you are making things difficult for me." Xu Zhiqian blinked cutely. Zhou Xingyun asked Jin Run'er to make a delicious lunch for him. However, the material he provided to Jin Run'er was rice that was infested with insects and mold.
Rotten vegetable leaves that have become stale and rotten.
"You hold back your words!" Zhou Xingyun glared at Xu Zhiqian fiercely. The man would do his business, while the little woman would just stand aside and watch the phone go off.
Jin Run'er was obviously disturbed by Zhou Xingyun's arrangement. Looking at the smelly ingredients on the table, the girl was at a loss what to do.
"Can I use the salt over there?" Jin Run'er thought for a moment, pointed to the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar in the kitchen and asked, hoping that Zhou Xingyun would be merciful and allow her to use seasonings to cook food.
However, Zhou Xingyun replied without hesitation: "No."
Zhou Xingyun saw that Jin Run'er was about to beg for mercy, hoping that he would be merciful and not embarrass her, but he spoke first: "Miss Jin, I hope you can understand that I didn't make things difficult for you. This is the opportunity you finally fought for.
This is also the last and only chance. Please cherish it."
Zhou Xingyun made it clear that Jin Run'er should not have any illusions. As the number one chef in the capital, if he cannot overcome even this difficulty, it can only be said that the Jin family is destined to die.
Jin Run'er had no choice but to follow Zhou Xingyun's rules and start washing rice and cooking on the fire...
Zhou Xingyun and his entourage were watching. Although Jin Run'er was the eldest daughter of an official family, she was the number one cook in the capital and the proprietress of Juxian House. It was not difficult for her to light the fire and cook.
What worries Jin Runer now is how to make delicious dishes out of last year's expired, moldy rice and rotten vegetable leaves.
Zhou Xingyun did not let her use any seasonings. It was simply impossible for her to cook delicious dishes with only the original expired ingredients.
However, as Zhou Xingyun said just now, this is the only chance he gives her, so no matter what, Jin Run'er must go all out to complete the impossible task at the moment.
After half an hour of busy work, Jin Run'er was finally done and made a decent-looking lunch.
It is true that since the raw materials are heavily expired products, the lunch is not decent on the surface, but the smell is sour. Even Jinrun'er frowns when she smells it, and she can't help but feel nauseated and want to retch.
This kind of thing, not to mention it is a delicacy, is probably no different from pig feed. Zhou Xingyun will definitely vomit after eating it.
