Hearing Shen Jingshu's words at this moment, Duan Wangshizi saw that Shen Jingshu's face was a little bit wrong, and he was worried immediately, "It is true that there is a missing maid in my room, what's wrong?" This Xiaotao was given to him by Duan Wang He didn't care about the servant girl who gave him away, he kept her by his side so that Princess Duan would not always give someone away, but he never took a second look at that servant girl, he didn't even know her appearance, and he didn't let her get close Serving, but just putting it in the yard, so that Princess Duan can rest assured.
"What does the servant girl do?" His tone was a little sour unconsciously. Although he knew that at the age of Prince Duan, some needs are normal, and many men are like this. Before they get married, they will have a maid to serve them. But Shen Jingshu still feels a little awkward in her heart, and always feels uncomfortable.
Is she being too narrow-minded
"She was sent by the princess, and I don't want to send it out. Another one came, so I asked her to do some cleaning work in the yard, and I rarely saw her on weekdays. I didn't think she died this time when I came back. It happened. What's the matter?" Seeing that Shen Jingshu's expression was different, Prince Duan explained it clearly, and he was also afraid that Shen Jingshu would misunderstand.
"It's nothing, I just heard that she had unclean hands and feet, stole things, and was beaten to death." This statement sounds true to outsiders, but it's different for Shen Jingshu and Prince Duan.
"Really?" Frowning, although this servant girl Duan Wangshizi hadn't met a few times, and he couldn't even remember the other party's appearance clearly, but he also knew that it was impossible for this girl to have dirty hands and feet.
This is the person sent by the princess herself, how could it be
"Don't you know? What did they tell you when you came back?"
"I don't care if this maid is here or not. It's fine if she's gone. Anyway, I plan to deal with her when you come in." At that time, he only knew that the maid was gone. No one told him the specific reason, so he didn't ask. , Could it be that there is some conspiracy in it
"It's easy for you." Shaking her head, Shen Jingshu had to say that Princess Duan knew a little about Prince Duan's thoughts, and that girl was Princess Duan's own, and Prince Duan would definitely not care if she died. If he didn't mention it now, Prince Duan might not remember it at all.
"Shu'er, did I do something wrong?" I always felt that Shen Jingshu's question today was a bit strange, and that maid, did he miss something
"No, you just don't want to be troublesome." Prince Duan is a man after all, how could he pay attention to a maid who doesn't care at all? What's more, that person is from Princess Duan? Prince Duan's son is afraid that he wished that person died!
"Okay Shu'er, hurry up and tell me what's going on? But what happened when you went to the palace that day?"
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just..." After saying the matter in a simple way, Prince Duan's expression immediately turned cold when he heard it, "I knew it would be no good for her to let you go to the palace, and it really is!"
"Okay, even if she set up this game, wouldn't she miss it? It's not that I've never made a living with you, and I don't know who you are. She acts like this, but we can understand her thoughts better. That's fine, the enemy is open and we are in the dark, and we can control what she does in the future."
"Shu'er, I'm sorry, you have been wronged before you married me. But you have to believe that I never took a second look at that girl. I don't even know what she looks like or what her name is. I How could it be possible for her to conceive my child?" The words were a little nervous and eager, what Prince Duan was most afraid of was Shen Jingshu's misunderstanding.
After knowing each other for so long, how could Prince Duan not know what Shen Jingshu wanted? The tacit understanding and enjoyment between Shen Wenhua and Shan Yuerong, Shen Jingshu has grown up since she was a child, how could she be willing to share her husband with others
"I know, I didn't misunderstand." Maybe she was a little uncomfortable before, but after seeing Prince Duan's reaction now, Shen Jingshu had already believed it.
"Shu'er, no matter what happens in the future, I hope you can trust me. Apart from you, I will never have another woman in my life, before, now, and in the future. Because no one is qualified except you!" His heart is already full of the shadow of Shen Jingshu, how can there be other women
"Okay, I know, I believe you are." Looking at the man in front of him, his eyes are all his own shadow, what doubts does Shen Jingshu have
"Shu'er, thank you!" Hugging Shen Jingshu in his arms and feeling the warm temperature, Prince Duan has never felt so happy before, "I used to think that I was doomed to die alone in this life, God But I gave you to me, I finally believe that I am not forgotten, Shu'er, thank you very much. It is you who make me no longer lonely."
"Thank you too!" It was you who gave me the courage to believe in love again!
…
One night, without words, the questions in her heart were answered, and Shen Jingshu didn't bother with these things, whether Prince Duan had a woman before or not, that was all in the past. Now that they are together, Shen Jingshu is willing to believe that this man will fulfill his promise.
The doubts in her heart were resolved, and Shen Jingshu slept very well that night, but she did not expect that when she woke up the next day, she would have something better.
"Miss, I heard that Miss Kong and Mr. Chen have already arrived in the capital. Mingyue sent someone to deliver a letter." Just after breakfast, Chun Xiao received the news and rushed to tell Shen Jingshu.
"Have they arrived yet?" It was time to arrive, they had been out for a long time.
"Well, I heard that I arrived early this morning. As soon as Mingyue arrived, someone sent a letter over. They said it was to save you from worrying, Miss." Smiling, Chun Xiao was also very happy that Kong Xinhe and the others could come. After all, Kong Xinhe was a quiet young man. Friends of the era, compared with other people, this kind of affection is naturally unusual.
"Since Xinhe is here, let's go, let's go and have a look!" I was always worried that Kong Xinhe would feel uncomfortable when she came to the capital with her big belly.
"Okay, Missy, this servant will go get ready now!"
Shen Jingshu's current status in the Shen family is rising rapidly, not to mention that she is the future concubine of Duan Wang Shizi, but now she has won the favor of Mrs. Shen, and she has no need for the second room, Shen Jingshu thought Going out is also a very easy thing. Reported to Mrs. Shen and Banyan Tree, and said to go for a walk and buy some things. Mrs. Shen didn't say anything, but told Shen Jingshu to be careful on the road, and asked Shen Jingshu to pay for the money and go out.
The few people were soon ready to go out. The carriage they were riding was still very ordinary. Shen Jingshu didn't want to be too ostentatious. She walked around the capital for a few times, and finally changed her clothes quietly, and went to the Charity Hall through the back door. These days Although fewer people stared at the Charity Hall, Shen Jingshu still had to be careful.
"Master, why are you here?" Knowing that Shen Jingshu was coming, Mingyue was still very surprised, she didn't expect Shen Jingshu to come so fast.
"I heard that Xinhe is here, let me take a look."
"Master, don't worry. I've shown Miss Kong just now. She hasn't walked bumpy all the way, and she's in good health. She just needs to take a good rest in the past few days." Knowing that Shen Jingshu was worried about Kong Xinhe, Mingyue said directly. If Shen Jingshu was relieved, Shen Jingshu nodded, "Thank you, Mingyue."
"No thanks, this is what I should do, master, they are resting in the house, I will take you there!"
"Okay!" As soon as they came into the room, they saw Chen Feng pouring water for Kong Xinhe. Neither of them expected that Shen Jingshu would come, and they were a little surprised, "Sister (Jingshu)!" With surprise and surprise, especially Kong Xinhe, who hadn't seen Shen Jingshu for almost half a year, was anxious at the moment and got up immediately, which frightened Chen Feng and Shen Jingshu, "Jingshu, why are you here? I plan to go to the Shen residence to see you, look at you, I just came here, I have nothing prepared..."
"Xinhe, sit down quickly, don't forget that you are a person with two bodies now, the body is important!" Shen Jingshu was almost frightened when she saw Kong Xinhe's speed, and Chen Feng who was beside her was also quite helpless, " Xinhe, don't worry, my sisters are here, just sit and talk for a while."
"Aren't I in a hurry? You don't know how long we haven't seen each other. It's been half a year, right? You miss me so much!" Pulling Shen Jingshu to take a good look, Kong Xinhe has a lot to think about when she comes here this time The one who asked Shen Jingshu was also very worried about Shen Jingshu. She wished she could grow wings and fly to Kyoto along the way, but her stomach wouldn't allow it. Isn't she in a hurry
"Okay, am I not here? Sit down quickly, you have a bumpy journey, you have to rest well, don't get too excited." The pregnant woman's emotions can be taken care of, Shen Jingshu pulled Kong Xinhe to sit down, and Chen Feng watched Feeling helpless and distressed, she had no choice but to stand there, and Mingyue hurriedly ordered someone to prepare some food to entertain everyone.
"Well, you're a little fatter. It seems that you've adapted well in the capital." Looked carefully at Shen Jingshu. Kong Xinhe came here this time, but she had to take a good look at Shen Jingshu. There are still some things that are inconvenient to write in the letter. That being said, it is best to ask in person.
"You, you are all about to be a mother now, look at you..." Looking at Kong Xinhe, she used to be thin and weak, but she lived a good life after marrying Chen Feng. Now she is pregnant, and she exudes this faint Her maternal nature is brilliant, and she has gained some weight. Now she is pregnant, her belly is bulging, Shen Jingshu looks at Kong Xinhe's belly, and she is very happy for her.
Before Kong Xinhe had no news, she was still worried, but now it is all right.
"Hehe, I'm afraid I've gained a lot of weight, right? Look at my waist, I can't fit the clothes I used to wear, and I don't know how fat I will be in the future!" Touching her stomach, Kong Xinhe complained to herself weight, but from the happiness in her eyes, it can be seen that she is looking forward to the child in her stomach.
"It's okay, you're already thin, it's good to be a bit fatter, it seems that Chen Feng has taken good care of you, so I'm relieved."
"Don't worry, he is very good to me. I haven't heard anything from him in the past two years, and he never said anything." Kong Xinhe's health is actually not very good. Before, she was worried that she would not be able to conceive a child and planned to take Chen Feng as a concubine. Chen Feng did not allow it, saying that having her in this life was enough. How could Kong Xinhe not be moved? What a woman wants in her whole life, wealth and glory are just a fleeting moment. Finding a husband who loves her is the happiest thing.
"Chen Feng is a nice person. Back then you married him recklessly. If he couldn't do this, he would be really sorry for you!" Smiling, if he hadn't seen Chen Feng's deep affection for Kong Xinhe back then, Shen Jingshu How can you work hard to fulfill these two people
"We are able to have today thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to marry him! I just told him that I would visit Master Shen as soon as I settled down, but I didn't expect you to marry him so soon. coming."
"Don't worry about it. You are heavy now. You should have a good rest. It's the same if you go to Daddy's side later."
"It won't work. Master Shen accepted Chen Feng as his adopted son for us back then. We always remember this kindness. How could we not pay a visit?"
"It's not that I won't go, it's just that this matter is not in a hurry. You should settle down first. By the way, have you taken care of the house? Did you live in the Charity Hall, or did you find another place to live?"
"Feng said that there are many people in the Charity Hall, and it's not convenient to live here. Before that, Mingyue has asked Mingyue to help look at the house in Kyoto. The house has been arranged a long time ago, and we can live in it right away."
"That's good, where will you live in the future?"
"It's just over the East Street, you can come and play in the future!"
"East Street is not far from my house, okay, I'll find you then!"
"But we still have to clean up. I haven't had time to clean up the big and small bags when I went to Beijing!"
"Don't worry about this, take your time."
"Jingshu, I..." Although Kong Xinhe had asked Shen Jingshu in the letter before, it was hard to say in the letter. Kong Xinhe felt that it was better to ask Shen Jingshu face to face.
"What's wrong?"
"Jingshu, did you really voluntarily do this marriage?" The reason she lived so happily was because of Shen Jingshu, and Kong Xinhe didn't want Shen Jingshu to be unhappy. Therefore, she really wanted to know if Shen Jingshu did it voluntarily.
"Don't worry, I know this matter well, the son of the world is very good." With a smile, there was no reluctance on Shen Jingshu's face, she knew that Kong Xinhe was worried about herself.
"If you say that, I'm relieved." Although Shen Jingshu didn't say anything, but from the words of the other party, Kong Xinhe could tell that Shen Jingshu was not reluctant, not to mention the smile on Shen Jingshu's face could not deceive anyone. They have known each other for so many years, Kong Xinhe felt relieved when she saw Shen Jingshu like this, "But you gave the marriage too suddenly this time, Huilan and I were shocked when we found out, Huilan almost wanted to come to the capital I'm looking for you, but she is about to give birth now, and she can't come. When I came this time, she reminded me a thousand times, and asked me to ask you carefully, lest you would not be willing. "
"Then you can rest assured now?" Feeling the concern of the two friends, Shen Jingshu really felt that she was very happy.
"Well, seeing you like this, I feel relieved." Kong Xinhe didn't ask too much about anything else. She has always been like this. She and Shen Jingshu don't need to say anything to understand Shen Jingshu's thoughts. Shen Jingshu is very happy. Fortunately, I can have such a friend.
"Just don't worry, it won't affect the baby in your stomach."
"You, I came here in such a hurry, isn't it all because of you? You are going to get married in August, and Whelan's child was still young at that time, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come. If I don't come, how can I say it? What about?" In the hearts of Kong Xinhe and Yang Huilan, they are also Shen Jingshu's natal family, if Shen Jingshu gets married, what if her natal family doesn't come
"Okay, okay, I know you have worked hard for me, have you suffered a lot along the way? Seeing you like this, I feel a little haggard."
"Don't worry, Feng took good care of me along the way. We walked slowly and didn't suffer much. It's just that I've been pampered at home all these years, so I'm not used to the road. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine. Don't worry about me."
"You! There are some old ginseng in my house, I will send them to you when the time comes, make up for it, and don't lose the child in your belly!"
"No need, we were supposed to come to visit, but you still brought something, how good is that?" The Shen family is now considered as Chen Feng's natal family, they are juniors, it's not good that they always ask for things, but they don't give them away.
"It's just a few ginseng. You are heavy now, so you need to supplement it. I will find some blood swallows for you in a few days, and you should eat more. Then you will be white and fat."
"Are you going to raise me like a pig? Don't worry, Feng didn't do me any harm. Ever since he found out that I was pregnant, he has been patrolling the food for me. I'm not doing any harm. If you give it away again, I will At that time, I have to become a pig, I heard that Mrs. Shen is not in good health, and Mrs. Shen is pregnant now, so let Mrs. Shen eat." Shan Banyan is getting old, but she can't be careless.
"Oh, don't worry, there are some of these things at home, and the prince often sends them, and mother can't finish them." Prince Duan sent a lot of things secretly, and they were all good products. These things in the warehouse of the Shen family There are too many, of course Shen Jingshu will not be stingy with her friends.
"You really don't treat me like an outsider!"
"You are not an outsider in the first place. Look at you, you have been here for several months, and you are not as fat as my mother. Make up more!"
"Doesn't Mrs. Shen have more months than me?"
"Okay, that's it. I'll send it to your house when the time comes, so you can eat more!"
"Jingshu, although I'm pregnant, I can't be too sweet, otherwise the child will be too big in the future, and I won't be able to give birth. You have also studied medicine, so you should understand." Looking at Shen Jingshu helplessly, the two Although we haven't seen each other for half a year, we don't see any strangers at all.
"I know, but I didn't say you can't eat it. You just eat something properly. Between you and me, when have you been so polite? You don't even want anything I give you?"
"Okay, I'm afraid of you, so I'll take it." Seeing Shen Jingshu like this, Kong Xinhe knew that she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept it, "It's just that it's not good for you to send me off as soon as I come, wait until I go Let's talk after the family visits, okay?" Kong Xinhe also makes sense, Chen Feng is Shen Wenhua's adoptive son after all, before they went to visit, Shen Jingshu gave things away, Shen Wenhua and Shan Yuerong might not care, but Shen Wenhua It's not necessarily the old lady's side...
"Okay, I have a sense of proportion."
"That's good!"
"By the way, how is Whelan doing well now? How is her husband's family treating her now?"
"Don't worry, since Huilan was pregnant with her second child, her husband's family has treated her even more dearly. The Yang family's family status is higher than her husband's family. Before that, Huilan refused to let go. Her mother must be virtuous. Now it is different. Sometimes Huilan will say that her husband is also a caring person when she is not happy. She knows that she is unwilling, so she doesn't take concubines much now. Those little concubines in the family Concubine, the disobedient Huilan has been cleaned up, and now there are only a few obedient and sensible ones left, and none of them have children yet, Huilan is doing well." Although every woman hopes that she can have a husband who is devoted to her , but not everyone is so lucky. This is the case for Yang Huilan. She was born in such a family, and her education was like this since she was a child. The ending now is not bad.
"It's good that she's living a good life, but it's still wronged her. Before she got married, Whelan was so lively and cheerful, but..." Is the encounter inhuman? But most of this era is like this. Yang Huilan's husband's family respects Yang Huilan, but it is too normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and because of the education of his parents, Yang Huilan will not do such jealous things. , Maybe it was expected long ago
"Jingshu, not everyone can have a single-minded husband. I was able to meet Feng, that was also my luck, but it was also because of the ups and downs of Feng's youth, and it was hard for me to be together with him. In the future Who can explain the matter clearly? If Feng and Huilan's husband have the same identity, or even higher status, then he and I can't be like this..." Since marrying Chen Feng, Kong Xinhe has also known Chen Feng's status from Chen Feng's daily behavior. The birth is definitely not bad, and Chen Feng also mentioned some family matters to her, but he didn't want to say too much, for fear that the walls might have ears. But even with those few words, Kong Xinhe knew that Chen Feng's family background was not ordinary.
"Xinhe, why do you suddenly think like this? Chen Feng is not bad to you, and he is not such an ungrateful person, so don't worry! No matter what the future holds, since he has already promised you, you have to trust him!" Holding Kong Xinhe's hand, I don't know if pregnant women like to think too much. Kong Xinhe in the past didn't seem to be so easily sad.
"I know, but it's just because of Huilan's matter that I'm a little emotional. Don't worry, it's said that pregnant women are like this." With a smile, Kong Xinhe didn't want Shen Jingshu to worry.
"Well, you, the most important thing now is to take good care of your body. It will be true to give birth to Chen Feng a big fat boy in the future!"
"Okay, you don't have to worry about my affairs, but you, you will have to face a lot of things when you marry in Duanwang's mansion in the future." what will happen
Kong Xinhe was really worried. She had heard about it. This Prince Duan's temperament was unpredictable and frightening. The most important thing was that although Prince Duan's status was noble, he was not the son of Princess Duan. Shen Jingshu married in such an environment, Kong Xinhe was really worried.
Having known each other for many years, Kong Xinhe naturally knew Shen Jingshu's thoughts. Shen Jingshu didn't care about these family backgrounds, otherwise she wouldn't have worked so hard to help her and Chen Feng.
But Jingshu, who likes plainness, why should she encounter such a thing? In the future, if the son of the prince wants to take a concubine, can Jing Shu bear it
"I know in my heart, I will handle it well, the son is not as rumored, so don't worry about me." Knowing what Kong Xinhe was worried about, although Shen Jingshu had some things to say, she still didn't want Kong Xinhe to worry.
"Well, I know you've always been thoughtful, although I'm a little worried, but seeing you like this, I should be at ease." Kong Xinhe didn't say anything with a smile, Shen Jingshu has always been a thoughtful person since she was a child, She won't be led by the nose easily by others. She can't see Shen Jingshu's reluctance in this matter. She thinks that Shen Jingshu may be...
"Okay, I have my affairs in mind, so don't worry about it. You have to know that if I don't want to, no one can force me, even if that person is the emperor, understand?"
"Jingshu, what do you mean, you..." looked at Shen Jingshu in disbelief, although Shen Jingshu's words were a bit outrageous, but Kong Xinhe knew Shen Jingshu for many years, and knew that Shen Jingshu did have this ability.
"Can you rest assured now?"
"Okay, I'm relieved. It's just that Duan Wang's Mansion is not simple. I've heard a lot in Jiangnan. You have to be careful in the future." will not block.
"I know, well, don't talk about me, let's talk about you, talk about Jiangnan, I have been away for so long, and I don't know how Master and the others are doing."
"Master Hui is doing well. Before coming here, she asked me to tell you that she is fine, so don't worry. She also said that you will bring a gift when you get married. I hope you are happy!"
"Master really said that? Is she in good health?"
"Well, it's all good. She told me in person, and this one, she said it was a gift for you, but she said it was too late for you. I hope you don't mind. Jingshu, I'm really sorry, we didn't have time to catch up Your congratulations."
"What are you talking about? Isn't there nothing you can do? And people have given you gifts, I don't mind." Although her friends didn't come for the gift, she received all the gifts, even though Some regrets, but Kong Xinhe will attend her wedding, so she has no regrets.
"It's good that you don't mind. Huilan and I have always been very guilty. These days we all want to come, but we are both heavy, so we can't come." Naturally, I felt guilty in my heart. When Kong Xinhe and Yang Huilan were married, Shen Jingshu But they all went, and they gave a big gift, but they didn't have time to come.
"Okay, don't mind it, we are so far apart now, and you are all married, and you are not as free as before, I understand." From the time the two got married, Shen Jingshu knew that the friendship between them Although it will not change, some things will not be as arbitrary as before because of their respective marriages.
Because she understands, she doesn't blame them. Who made them no longer be alone, or other wives, or the mothers of their children? Such identities made them more restrained, and naturally they did not do things as casually as before.
She understands all of this, women are like this, no matter how happy they are when they are girls, when they are married, they must restrain their elegance, take care of their husbands and teach their children, this has been the case since ancient times.
"Hey, sometimes I really want to go back to the past. I can do whatever I want, get together whenever I want, talk and chat. Where is it like now, there is no freedom to do anything." Together, but married, each married in a different place, the distance is far, naturally, it is not as easy to meet as before. What's more, it's still far from her husband's house now, so she's fine. Chen Feng happens to be from the Charity Hall, so it's not that difficult to meet Shen Jingshu, but Yang Huilan is still in Jiangnan. It's very difficult, maybe in this life, there will be no chance to meet again.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. We have grown up, and many things are beyond our control. But the friendship between us will not change. If we can't meet, we can write letters. Although it is not as convenient as before, we Still good friends, no?"
"That's what you said. I said this when we first met. It's a disappointment. Well, let's talk about you. I haven't seen you for half a year. Are you still used to being in Jiangnan? Is Mrs. Shen treating you well? How is Mrs. Shen now?" Sample?"
"It's all okay..." He briefly talked about the past six months, and of course did not mention the messy things about the second room, so as not to worry Kong Xinhe. After hearing this, Kong Xinhe couldn't help but sigh, "Then, besides Miss Shen, everyone in Master Shen's room has left?"
"Yes."
"It's not a bad thing. There are more people in the family, and there are more troubles. It's better to be quiet." Although Shen Jingshu didn't say some things, how could such an intelligent woman as Kong Xinhe not guess it? She grew up in such an environment since she was a child. She knew all about the troubles of the wives and concubines at home. Now that the second wife is away, Kong Xinhe is really happy for Shen Jingshu.
"Yes, grandma treats mother much better now, mother is also pregnant with a child now, everything is fine."
"I was worried about you at first, but you didn't say anything when you wrote the letter. Now I'm relieved to hear you say that."
"You, you are all about to be mothers, don't worry all the time, or the children in the future will become little old men!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, so that you won't say anything about me!"
…
The two haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have a lot to say, Mingyue and Chen Feng are also interested, they found an excuse to leave early, and didn't bother them, in the end it was Shen Jingshu who saw that Kong Xinhe was tired, so she didn't say any more, let Kong Xinhe rest well , I went back to Shen Mansion, and told Shen Wenhua and Shan Banyan Kong Xinhe's family the good news that they came to Kyoto.
