Zhou Xingyun patted his chest and assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not take in Jin Run'er, but she could show great mercy and bring the daughter of the guilty minister into the official residence. In this way, those who had problems with the Jin family would look at the monk's face even if they had problems with him.
With Buddha's face, I dare not deal with the Jin family without authorization and seek revenge from the Jin family.
Beat the dog to see the master, Jin Run'er settled in Zhou Xingyun's official residence, what will the powerful officials in the court think? This woman endured the humiliation, sacrificed her beauty to please Zhou Xingyun, and protect the Jin family. Once someone dared to attack the Jin family, Jin Run'er would whisper in bed.
, Zhou Xingyun will inevitably be captured by Wen Xiang Nephew and seek justice for the Jin family.
To put it bluntly, anyone who is not a fool should be able to see that Jin Runer abandoned all compromises and flattered the enemy who impeached her father just to seek his protection.
"Father, my daughter is willing to follow Mr. Zhou." Jin Run'er knew very well that her father had been an official for many years. Although he had a wide network of contacts, he had also offended many people. If she did not find a powerful backer, the Jin family would definitely be
The enemy's life would be worse than death.
Looking at the entire court, there are currently only three people who meet the requirements: the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Zhou Xingyun.
The prince is undoubtedly the best candidate, but as Zhou Xingyun said, she is the daughter of a guilty minister, and the Empress Dowager, Taifu Xu and others will never approve of the prince accepting her.
The Sixteenth Emperor's Son is the worst candidate. As we all know, the Emperor's Sixteenth Son is cruel and unkind. If Jin Run'er asks him for help, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous. Jin Run'er can't imagine what she will be trained to do if she falls into the Emperor's Sixteenth Son's official residence.
It looks like she may not even be qualified to be a human being by then.
Zhou Xingyun can be said to be the best choice. Although his power is not as solid as the sixteenth son of the emperor and the prince, he can still protect the Jin family. As the prince's young master and the concubine of the first-class consort's official residence, Jin Run'er relies on his shadow.
No one would dare to harm the Jin family even if they were just living an ignoble existence.
"Alas..." Jin Zhenghan sighed helplessly. He never dreamed that he would be in the situation he is today and need to sacrifice his daughter to save his family.
"Sir Jin, you can rest assured that I will not be rude to Miss Jin. As long as you assist the prince, I will spare no effort to protect your Jin family. Every week and a half, Miss Jin can come and report to you the situation of the Jin family.
." Zhou Xingyun said generously, as long as Jin Zhenghan cooperates, the Jin family will definitely be unscathed.
"What do you need me to do?" Jin Zhenghan finally agreed to Zhou Xingyun's request. In other words, Jin Run'er had convinced him before that the current choice was the best decision for the Jin family.
"Well... Sir Jin, please teach His Highness how to be a corrupt official." Zhou Xingyun casually pushed Han Feng forward.
"Brother Zhou? What are you saying..." Han Feng and Jin Zhenghan both looked confused and couldn't understand what Zhou Xingyun was making.
"Your Highness, Mr. Jin is in charge of the national economy and people's livelihood, and he is the most corrupt official in our dynasty. You should first learn from him how to be a corrupt official, understand their methods, and be familiar with their process of forming cliques, running private affairs, and protecting each other, so that you can better deal with them.
"Zhou Xingyun grinned widely and said, "Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be in danger of a hundred battles. Learn to be a corrupt official instead of being a corrupt official. Only by becoming familiar with their methods and routines can you be able to collect evidence of crimes and punish them."
As a result, Zhou Xingyun began to act as a hands-off shopkeeper again, directly handing over Han Feng to Jin Zhenghan to teach him, while he took Jin Run'er back home.
It is inevitable that Jin Zhenghan instilled some strange ideas into Han Feng. Zhou Xingyun also planned to let Qin Shou be a book boy tomorrow and accompany His Highness the Crown Prince to learn the ways of corrupt officials.
The sky was gray with a little drizzle. Jin Runer held a paper umbrella with both hands and walked with Zhou Xing in the rain.
"Master Zhou, are you satisfied now?"
"I am very satisfied with both fame, fortune and beauty." Zhou Xingyun seemed to be afraid of getting wet in the rain, and stayed close to Jin Run'er.
I don't know if it's because the beauty's temperament has changed, or because he had little contact with Jin Run'er in the past and only saw the girl's strong side, but didn't notice the lovely side of the beauty. Jin Run'er's calm attitude today contains a very unique charm.
At this time, the two of them were holding a paper umbrella and walking on the road like a couple. Zhou Xingyun's little heart was beating loudly. What a ghost.
The two returned to the mansion, and Zhou Xingyun stood outside the door in shock, because he found that his front door was missing, and the situation in the house was the same as last week, with all the officials' children crowded into his living room and not knowing where they were.
What to do.
"Isn't it always like this in Mr. Zhou's family?" Jin Run'er felt strange about Zhou Xingyun's horrified face. According to her understanding, officials' children would gather at his residence almost every day.
"That was before..." Zhou Xingyun explained that the children of the official family gathered at his house a while ago because Xuanyuan Fengxue came to his house to cause trouble, and the eldest lady's followers came to join in the fun.
Now that Xuanyuan Fengxue has established a certain relationship with him, there is no need to come to his door aggressively to find trouble like before. At this time, the door of his house was demolished, which was obviously a good thing done by Xuanyuan Chongwu.
Don't ask Zhou Xingyun why he knew that Xuanyuan Chongwu was responsible for the crime, because when he first went to Xuanyuan's house, this kid once kicked down the door of his house. The cracks left on the door after the crime were the same as the cracks on the door frame of his house.
Exactly the same.
However, it is reasonable for the officials' children to follow Xuanyuan Fengxue to his home to play. With his current identity and status, the officials in the court wanted to hug him. A while ago, he followed Xuanyuan Fengxue at his home.
The son of the official family who caused the trouble must have been entrusted by the elders in the family to continue to follow Xuanyuan Fengxue to his house to eat, drink and have fun, and to establish a good relationship with him.
Zhou Xingyun walked into the living room with Jin Run'er. Zhu Xinhai, Ming Jing and other officials' children all looked at Jin Run'er in disbelief.
As children of officials, they had all heard from their family members that Jin Zheng Han, the Minister of Household Affairs, Jin Run'er's father, was dismissed from his post and imprisoned after Zhou Xingyun revealed the evidence.
Now Jin Run'er is walking with the Jin family's biggest enemy. What's going on? In addition, the elders in the family have warned them that they must not get close to people from the Jin family during this extraordinary period of moving from Hedong to Hexi.
In order to avoid getting burned, Jin Run'er's arrival undoubtedly left them at a loss.
"Master Zhou, the slave family has resigned first." Jin Run'er understood that her presence would embarrass the officials' children in the living room, so she took the initiative to resign and leave.
However, just as Jin Run'er turned around to leave, Zhou Xingyun reached out to grab her arm and forcibly pulled the girl in front of him.
"Everyone here must know who she is. Jin Run'er, the proprietress of Juxian Building, is my new concubine. She will be the woman of my Zhou family from now on. Please take good care of her."
Zhou Xingyun promised Jin Zhenghan to protect the Jin family. At this time, so many official disciples gathered at his house, he took advantage of it and told them that Jin Run'er had been taken into his room.
In this way, the officials' children can pass the message on his behalf and tell the elders at home that Jin Run'er is a member of the Baojin family and is submissive to Zhou Xingyun. Those who want to take action against the Jin family must think carefully about this.
Will it offend Zhou Xingyun?
Jin Run'er knew Zhou Xingyun's intention, so she simply leaned into his embrace, raised her pretty face and kissed his neck.
"As expected of a chief, he is treacherous, cunning and inhumane. He first brought down Shangshu Jin and then forced his daughter to obey him. It is a good example for us to watch and learn from. Even my sister cannot escape this disaster. It is a tried and true routine."
Xuanyuan Chongwu was talking nonsense again, so Zhou Xingyun's response was naturally... "Bah!"
"Run'er, the officials' children here are left to you. Although Xuanyuan Fengxue is very cold, she is actually just a silly and cute young lady. You help her recruit the officials' children here, integrate into the people here, and let them know
You are very popular in my family and will help the Jin family and our future development."
Zhou Xingyun bit Jin Run'er's ear and whispered softly, firstly so that the officials' children present could see their affectionate appearance, and secondly so that Jin Run'er could assist Xuanyuan Fengxue and recruit the officials' children present.
I believe that Jin Run'er's ability is more than enough to train a group of new officials.
"Well. After Shen Shi, Mr. Zhou, can you come back to the Jin family with me, so that the Jin family can feel at ease." Jin Run'er considered that she hadn't been home for a day. The Jin family must be panicked and don't know where to go. I hope that in the evening
, Zhou Xingyun can accompany her back to Jin's house, so that her family can rest assured.
"No problem. Sister Run'er sincerely surrenders to me, and I will definitely treat you well. I will never take it for myself, whether it is the Juxian Building or the Jin Family Shangshu Mansion."
Zhou Xingyun heard Han Feng say that after Jin Zhenghan was convicted, the Queen Mother would confiscate the Jin family's property and transfer the proceeds to him as the eldest princess's dowry.
To put it bluntly, the Empress Dowager just borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, and promised the eldest princess to Zhou Xingyun without having to pay a penny herself. The Jin family paid for the dowry.
"Master Zhou knows how to joke with the Nu family. Run'er followed you. Aren't the Jin family's belongings yours?"
Jin Run'er knew all about Zhou Xingyun's little thoughts. She was taken by Zhou Xingyun as his own, and he had the final say on the Jin family's property.
"Ahem, I'm going to prepare lunch. Sister Run'er will take care of things here." Zhou Xingyun looked careless and went into the kitchen to work. Jin Run'er is known as the best chef in the capital.
He needs to spend some time preparing delicious food, catering to her preferences, and getting the beauty to be like-minded to him.
Zhou Xingyun asked Jin Run'er to stay and make excuses with the officials' disciples, while he slipped into the kitchen to work.
To be honest, Zhou Xingyun was starving now and hadn't eaten anything at noon. Fortunately, when he got up in the morning, Wei Suyao cooked a pot of porridge to fill his stomach.
In addition, Zhou Xingyun did not want to stay in the living room and greet a group of official servants. Not long ago, Xuanyuan Fengxue came to his house with his servants to cause trouble. Everyone was relatively familiar with him. Zhou Xingyun was sure that if he stayed in the living room, he would definitely
He was surrounded by Zhu Xinhai and others, who greeted him and flattered him.
If the people around him were beauties, Zhou Xingyun would be happy to greet him. Unfortunately, most of the officials' children are male creatures, and a few women are not as beautiful as Xuanyuan Fengxue and Jin Run'er. Some of them are the concubines of high-ranking officials. See
Zhou Xingyun, who is accustomed to the beauty of his country, certainly has no interest in them.
Therefore, Zhou Xingyun could hide for a while and let Jin Runer entertain the visiting children for him.
