Zhou Xingyun's spicy hot pot plan was very successful. All the friends were blushing from the meal, sweat was dripping from their foreheads, and their mouths were red.
"It's so spicy! It's so spicy! Shui Shui Shui..."
"Water, water, water! I want it too! I want it too!"
Xiao Yun and Huo Tingting stuck out their tongues and looked for water to drink. The spicy mutton pot was spicy and delicious, which made everyone love and hate it. They were happy but also uncomfortable.
"Er~ You made it so spicy on purpose..." Mo Nianxi was so spicy that tears came to her eyes, and Zhou Xingyun could only be seen snickering.
"Just hold it in and eat it."
"I don't want it!" Mo Nianxi straightened her waist, picked up a small piece of spicy mutton from the pot, stared at it for a long time, then opened her mouth and ate it in one bite.
"Trouble...one more...one bowl...more vegetables, less meat, I want mushrooms...please, I won't thank you enough." Tangyuan was like a beggar lying on the ground begging for food, holding up an empty bowl to the table with one hand.
In front of Zhou Xingyun, he was asked to help add food and vegetables.
Huo Tingting and Tangyuan, who lived in the backyard, smelled the fragrant hot pot smell and consciously went to the living room to beg for food.
"No problem!" Zhou Xingyun took the bowls and chopsticks and was very happy to serve Tangyuan.
Zhou Xingyun walked to the hot pot and observed while picking up the vegetables. He found out interestingly that both Nangong Ling and Isabel were so hot that their faces turned rosy.
The domineering elder sister Nangong is now pretty and red, and she is really amazing in her heart.
Sister Xuannv's snow-white cheeks were filled with traces of red clouds, like a shy ice goddess, making Xiao Xingyun's blood surge up and ready to move.
"Ahem!"
"Uncle He, what do you want to eat? I'll help you get some food."
Uncle He Taishi snorted, and Wu Jiewen and Tang Yuanying immediately realized that the old man had finished eating and needed their respect.
The enjoyable dinner was really unpleasant. The officials' sons and daughters who dined at Zhou Xingyun's residence were all infected by the harmonious atmosphere and felt warm and comfortable from the bottom of their hearts...
However, just when everyone was having fun and eating, several figures appeared in Zhou Xingyun's courtyard, which made the maid Xiao Ding frown.
"Tan Heng, you are a rip-off! How dare you appear in front of my lady! Get out of here!"
The gate of Zhou Xingyun's mansion was demolished by Xuanyuan Chongwu. Tan Heng hesitated outside the door for a long time, and finally couldn't help but walked into the house, wanting to apologize to Xuanyuan Fengxue.
A few days ago, the Xuanyuan family was in trouble. Tan Heng's arm was crooked. Not only did he not help Xuanyuan Fengxue, he also added insult to injury with sarcastic remarks. Now that the Xuanyuan family had been wronged, he immediately understood that he had done something serious...
Today, everyone followed Xuanyuan Fengxue and gathered at Zhou Xingyun's house for dinner, but he was isolated outside.
"Miss, it was my fault the day before yesterday. It was my obsession. Please forgive me, miss..."
"You still have the nerve to say that! How did you talk to my lady in the first place? I have never seen a hypocrite like you with a human face and a beast heart." Maid Xiao Ding will never forget Tan Heng's hateful face two days ago, saying that the Xuanyuan family will definitely want to
If she is convicted, both she and Xuanyuan Fengxue will be demoted to official prostitutes. At that time, he will have sex with her and Xuanyuan Fengxue in bed together with him.
"Xiao Ding, forget it..." Xuanyuan Fengxue walked out of the living room and stopped the maid Xiao Ding from scolding Tan Heng.
The aloof young lady was actually quite soft-hearted. She saw that Tan Heng had a slap mark on his left cheek, which was swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bruised. It was obvious that he had been slapped hard by an elder in the family.
Obviously, the elders in the family must have known about Tan Heng's humiliation of Xuanyuan Fengxue in front of the mansion that day. Now that Xuanyuan Tianhen has resumed his official position, his father will definitely scold him for not understanding the direction of the officialdom and acting recklessly before the overall situation is determined.
As the saying goes, a person should keep a thin line in order to meet each other easily in the future. The governor of Shangzhou has long told Tan Heng that before the Queen Mother is convicted, she must not get close to Xuanyuan Fengxue. The "not close" here refers to not helping, not provoking, and staying away.
Xuanyuan wind and snow.
Tan Heng obviously misunderstood, thinking that the Xuanyuan family was going to end, and he could ride on Xuanyuan Fengxue's face and run wild. Who knows what would happen in the world...
"Miss Xuanyuan, it was my fault the past few days. I apologize to you. I deserved to die. I should have been beaten..." Tan Heng consciously slapped himself, making two loud noises, which made Zhou Xingyun in the living room
Everyone heard it.
Ever since, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Xingyun, as if they wanted to hear his opinion.
"What do you think I'm doing? Fengxue has the final say on this matter." Zhou Xingyun shrugged. It was up to Xuanyuan Fengxue to decide whether to forgive Tan Heng or not. Anyway, he didn't care at all.
It is true that Zhou Xingyun looked at Xuanyuan Fengxue's attitude and was prepared to forgive Tan Heng. As the governor of Shangzhou was considered Taifu Xu's for the time being, he had to discuss the matter of transporting food during the famine with Tan Heng's father. If possible, he could use this
Let's make a fuss about it and see if we can get some benefits from the governor of Shangzhou...
Sure enough, Xuanyuan Fengxue said coldly, "It won't happen again" and forgave Tan Heng.
Tan Heng's behavior a few days ago was disgusting, but the Tan family and the Xuanyuan family maintained a good relationship.
Xuanyuan Fengxue went to the Tan family to find the governor of Shangzhou, hoping that he would avenge her father. The other party at least treated her well and expressed that he was helpless, and did not ridicule or drive her away.
"Fengxue, you are too soft-hearted." Zhou Xingyun shook his head, which made Tan Heng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, worry. You must know that Zhou Xingyun has the most power here. He can make his life worse than death with just one sentence. If he does not forgive
He, Xuanyuan Fengxue spared him ten thousand times but it was useless.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, Zhou Xingyun said that Xuanyuan Fengxue would have the final say in this matter. Now that the girl had forgiven him, Zhou Xingyun told him in a serious way that he should tuck his tail between his legs and be a good person so that he would not waste any words on this matter.
Tan Heng bowed and nodded with great gratitude, thanking Xuanyuan Fengxue for his broad-mindedness, thanking Zhou Xingyun for his noble hand, and then like a younger brother, he blended in among the officials' children.
Now Tan Heng's status in the crowd is like that of a major shareholder of a certain company, who was suddenly demoted to an intern in the company, starting from scratch and saying hello to his seniors with a smile on his face.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xingyun came to the Jin family. Zhou Xingyun originally thought that his impeachment of Jin Zheng Han was the main culprit in bringing down the Jin family, and everyone in the Jin family must hate him to the core. But the result was not quite the same...
Zhou Xingyun followed Jin Run'er into Jin's house. When everyone knew that the young man in front of him was the famous prince and young master, they all came forward and greeted each other with greetings, which made Zhou Xingyun feel confused.
Jin Run'er's brothers and adoptive mother were like salesmen, surrounding Zhou Xingyun, and they all said pleasant things, such as...
"Master Zhou! Master Zhou! My sister-in-law is beautiful and charming. I don't mind you. Please accept my sister-in-law as your slave. She will definitely be able to serve you well."
"Yes! Auntie makes the decision, Run'er, you will follow Mr. Zhou from now on, serve you well, and bear children for you! Look at this baby's butt, it will definitely be easy for you to have children!"
"The weather is freezing today. Mr. Zhou, why don't you stay at Jin's house for the night so that your roommate Run'er can warm you up."
It seems that everyone in the Jin family knows that Jin Run'er is beautiful, and they always hope that he will take Jin Run'er in in order to exchange for the peace of the Jin family.
Zhou Xingyun looked around at the attentive Jin family members, and suddenly felt that Jin Zhenghan and Jin Run'er were pitiful. With such a group of prodigal sons and prodigal women, how could the Jin family not be greedy? Can it not decline?
No wonder that on the day Jin Zhenghan was imprisoned, Jin Run'er had no idea of resistance and directly surrendered to Zhou Xingyun. She knew that no one in the Jin family was useful except her, and she couldn't help her up at all...
Zhou Xingyun could imagine that when they learned that Jin Zhenghan was in prison, everyone in the Jin family must be begging Jin Run'er, persuading her to sacrifice her life to serve the Sixteenth Emperor or him, so as to keep the Jin family safe.
Fortunately, Jin Run'er's biological mother did not follow the custom and follow the Jin family to make trouble, otherwise Jin Run'er would be really sad and heartbroken.
Zhou Xingyun and Jin Run'er sat at Jin's house for a while, explained the current situation to the Jin's family, and then headed back home.
The Jin family heard that Zhou Xingyun and Jin Run'er got together and were willing to intercede on their behalf. They were all overjoyed and wished that Zhou Xingyun and Jin Run'er would have a son soon.
In the end, Jin Run'er left with Zhou Xingyun, and Jin Run'er's biological mother was a little reluctant to leave. The others all told Jin Run'er that she must serve Mr. Zhou well tonight, hinting that she could do whatever Zhou Xingyun asked her to do, and it was okay to be a little aggrieved.
It doesn't matter, as long as Mr. Zhou has fun, dozens of people in the Jin family, including her mother, can stay alive and stay safe.
"Master Zhou, have you seen the situation of the Jin family? It's really not easy for the slave family..." Jin Run'er held up the paper umbrella again and sent you back home on the long night.
"It's really not easy." Zhou Xingyun nodded sympathetically. From the expressions on Jin Run'er's mother and daughter's faces, as well as their situation in the Jin family, he could roughly guess that the two mother and daughter had not had an easy time in the Jin family before.
First of all, Jin Run'er's mother was not the royal wife, and the mother and daughter must have received a lot of looks. However, later on, Jin Run'er became smarter and smarter, and gained the respect of Jin Zhenghan, and the mother and daughter gained a foothold in the Jin family.
Being a concubine in a high-ranking official's house will definitely lead to a difficult life. Once you fall out of favor, you will be angry and bullied. The reason why Jin Run'er helps Jin Zheng Han share the burden and shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the Jin family is probably because she was forced out by the Jin family.
Because Jin Run'er doesn't study hard, fight hard, make herself smarter, and gain the respect of her father, she and her mother will never be able to raise their heads in the Jin family.
"Sister Runer, this is the fundamental reason why you hate Xu Zhiqian." Zhou Xingyun somewhat understood why Jin Runer targeted Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian is naturally smart, that is, a genius in the traditional sense, and Xu Zhiqian is the apple of the Xu family's eye. But with little effort, she has something that Jin Run'er has worked hard for her entire life. Jin Run'er is inevitably very unbalanced in her heart.
After all, God is very unfair. He not only gave Xu Zhiqian a smart mind, but also gave her a happy life. The most hateful thing is that Jin Run'er found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up with Xu Zhiqian, and was slightly inferior to her in everything.
The most hateful thing is that Xu Zhiqian gets an advantage but still behaves, always acting like she's pitiful and won't fight with you. I'm really pissed off...
It is true that Xu Zhiqian is quite innocent. She really does not like to compete with others, but in academic terms, she likes to discuss matters with others and discuss various topics. It is a pity that when Xu Zhiqian's opinions conflict with Jin Run'er, Xiaomeng
He always values harmony and will not argue with others or impose his views on others.
Jin Run'er was deeply disgusted by Xu Zhi Qian's attitude of 'just do it if you like it', and always felt that Xu Zhi Qian looked down on her. Of course, Xu Zhi Qian did not look down on others, it was just that Jin Run'er was unhappy and it was just her own psychology.
