Chapter 312: Failed Yumiya New Year's Greetings
It is not customary to set off firecrackers or fireworks at the palace during the New Year, and peach charms are not hung on the gate. Red lanterns are hung under the eaves to express joy.
After returning from visiting Yu Palace, Gong Zishang munched on the freshly fried lotus root boxes from the kitchen of Zheng Palace and complained to Zhang Xueming: "If Zhao Zhao hadn't come to the palace, let alone fried food, frozen pears, and dried persimmons, it would have been nice to have some candy. Eating melon seeds and roasted chestnuts is considered indecent."
Zhang Xueming was puzzled: "Is it not possible to eat quietly in my own home?"
"I didn't prepare any." Gong Yuanzheng also took a lotus root box to eat, "The servants will eat it when they get home from work. You can't ask the servants for some, right?"
Zhang Xueming was speechless.
Gong Shangjiao was silent: he himself didn't like to eat snacks with shells, and he didn't notice whether it was unreasonable to not have these snacks during the New Year, and whether his younger brother wanted to eat them.
He was busy reflecting, and Gong Zishang changed the subject: "In previous years, after offering sacrifices to the ancestors, everyone stayed in their respective palaces and could not go out until the third day of the New Year. Is it the same for brother Yuanzheng?"
Gong Yuanzheng nodded: "It's not written in the family rules, but my brother said that everyone does this, just bear with it for a few days."
Gong Shangjiao was embarrassed: "The palace gate has always been like this."
Today, Zhang Xueming and the three siblings of the Gong family went to Yu Palace to pay New Year's greetings. They only bowed outside Gong Hongyu's door, exchanged a few words with Gong Ziyu and Lin Zhenzhen, and then left. Gong Huanyu did not show up at all.
Gong Yuanzheng explained to Xue Zhongzi and Xue Gongzi why they were not taken to Yu Palace: "The situation there is complicated, and it is not convenient for you to show up. You can visit our three palaces as you like, just don't go there."
Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi nodded at the same time.
The four palaces were similar in style. There were too many troublesome people in Yu Palace, so why did they have to go there to attract attention? Besides, there were so many delicious foods in Zheng Palace that they didn't want to go anywhere else.
Master Xue asked Gong Yuanzheng: "We won't mention that Old Zhiren is ill and Gong Huanyu is not available. You gave Gong Ziyu gifts, but he didn't give anything in return?" They were so happy giving each other gifts last night.
Speaking of Gong Ziyu, Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but frown. "We had handed in our invitations in advance, but Gong Ziyu's real wife was very surprised when she saw us. She didn't even prepare snacks or hot tea, which shows that Gong Ziyu must have withheld the invitations. I don't know what's wrong with Gong Ziyu, he's smiling but not smiling. If he doesn't welcome us, why should we give him gifts? We just left two boxes of snacks and came back."
They were discussing going to Yumiya to pay New Year's greetings, and Yumiya was also talking about the same thing.
Lin Zhenzhen appears calm on the surface, but she's furious inside, okay?
The current Master of the Blade and the two palaces' real power masters, along with the powerful Miss Zhao, came to pay New Year's greetings to the old Master of the Blade. This was a good thing. They were willing to come here, and their attitude was clear, so those servants in the Yu Palace who were restless could settle down.
What did Gong Ziyu do in the end?
He withheld the invitation without telling her. When the person arrived, he had a look of debt collection on his face the whole time, and didn't even say polite words like "come in and sit down", forcing the person to leave in a hurry.
Is he sick?! He thinks he is still the little prince who holds the sword and whose father is his biological father, and he can walk sideways in the palace gate?
"Zi Yu, what are you thinking?" Lin Zhen Zhen suppressed her anger and asked him kindly, "If you don't welcome them, you should have replied that you were too busy to receive them when you received the post yesterday. Instead of treating them coldly like this..."
Not to mention that the other party's status is higher than theirs, even brothers of the same clan would not tease others like this.
Gong Ziyu pursed her lips and said, "So what if they treat me coldly? They have three Izumo lotus flowers, and they didn't even think of leaving one for my father. Why should I smile at them and flatter them?"
Zhang Xueming and the others didn't want to hide it. Just because the senior officials stopped talking about it didn't mean that the guards who were on duty in the palace at that time would stop talking about it when they returned.
When Gong Ziyu heard the news yesterday, he was even angrier than he is now.
His matter-of-fact tone deeply shocked Lin Zhenzhen.
She had also heard the servants talking about the first Izumo heavy lotus, and at that time she thought Gong Hongyu's eating manner was too ugly. Now she found that Gong Ziyu was no worse.
"…Why do you think so? That was planted by the Palace Master of Zheng Palace. Shouldn't he be the one to decide who to give it to and who not to give it to?"
Gong Ziyu said: "He also used the resources of the palace. What is grown with the resources of the palace should belong to the palace. Whoever needs it can use it first."
Lin Zhenzhen closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After a while, she asked him, "Do you know that all the money and resources used by the palace in the past ten years were earned by that young master Jiao? Including the food, clothing and daily expenses for you and me..."
Including the tens of thousands of silver that Gong Ziyu gave to Wufeng in Wanhua Tower.
Gong Ziyu was surprised: "That was originally the responsibility of Jiao Gong. Without the protection and capital of the palace, how could he make money?"
Lin Zhenzhen saw that he was serious and obviously really thought so. She touched her belly secretly and stopped talking.
There is no point in arguing with this fool who has deep-rooted bandit logic. He is twenty years old and his personality has long been formed. Who has the time to spend a lot of effort to correct him?
In the adult world, there is only selection, no education. Didn't you see that Gong Shangjiao didn't even look at Gong Ziyu today?
Lin Zhenzhen's attitude became cold, and Gong Ziyu felt a little uneasy.
He thought back to their conversation again and again, not understanding what he had said wrong, and asked tentatively, "Do you really think I shouldn't think this way?"
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and said, "No, I'm a little tired and want to take a nap."
Gong Ziyu had no choice but to leave her room.
He was no longer afraid of the cold, but felt stuffy in the house, so he went to sit in the pavilion and stare blankly. He felt a little wronged and sad that the partner he was going to spend his whole life with did not understand him.
Gong Huanyu passed by there and didn't want to stop, but Gong Ziyu called him: "Brother."
Gong Ziyu asked with red eyes: "Brother, are you going to hide from me forever?"
Gong Huanyu glanced at him calmly, walked over and stood beside the pillar with his hands behind his back: "What do you want to say?"
Gong Ziyu said loudly: "I heard from the servants that something was broken in Big Brother's room yesterday... Actually, Big Brother was also angry that they monopolized Chuyun Zhonglian, right?"
Gong Huanyu was not surprised that someone was monitoring his food and lodging, but what surprised him was: "Monopolizing?"
Gong Ziyu told Gong Huanyu his idea.
Gong Huanyu was stunned.
He chose a new technique to practice again, hoping to significantly increase his internal strength in a short period of time so as not to be left with nothing when eliminating Wufeng. That's when he came up with the idea of Izumo Chonglian.
Unable to defeat Zhang Xueming, he could only try to outwit her.
Now that his plan had failed, he was inevitably angry, but he never felt that Chuyun Chonglian belonged to the palace. It was the result of Gong Yuanzheng's years of hard work and effort. No matter how shameless he was, he would not casually erase Gong Yuanzheng's efforts and confidently regard other people's things as his own.
After a long while, Gong Huanyu sighed, "Zi Yu, if it were you, would you be willing to give it out? Don't just talk. I remember Gong Yuanzheng said that he still has a seed. You can ask him for the seed, and then ask him to lend you the cultivation experience he summarized. When you grow it, you can hand it over to the public, and then tell others about it, it will be more convincing."
After he finished speaking, he ran away. He heard what Gong Ziyu shouted behind him, but he didn't say a word in response.
After returning to the house and packing his luggage, Gong Huanyu strode out of Yu Palace and headed for Zheng Palace.
Even though Izumo Juren couldn't give him anything, he could still give him comfort, right? He could always eat meat, right? No one would always stare into his room to see what he was doing, right?
it's so funny.
Gong Ziyu even dared to say shamelessly, "I am willing to share any good things with my brothers."
From childhood to adulthood, Gong Ziyu would always "share" with others when he had enough or was tired of eating. Whenever Gong Ziyu said "share", it must be because he liked something in the other person... Father and son are father and son, and you can't have two kinds of melons on the same vine. They always think that they are the smartest in the world, and all the benefits should be theirs, and everyone else is a fool.
