After helping Shen Jin change the last piece of clothes, Madam Zhao said, "Madam, I don't know if I should say something or not."
"Mammy, please tell me." Shen Jin looked at Zhao Nanny and said.
Zhao Momo thought for a while before saying, "The old slave just heard some words from the madam outside. The old slave knows that the madam is only thinking of the general, so she wanted to write a letter to Beijing, asking for something to ease the situation in the border town."
Shen Jin bit her lower lip and asked in a low voice, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Madam is kind." After serving Shen Jin for a while, Zhao Nanny also understood that she was simple-minded and had no other intentions. "But if someone else listens, if they think Madam can't bear hardships or dislike the general's house... "The words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious.
Shen Jin's face turned pale, and her anxious eyes turned red, "That's not what I meant."
"The old slave knows." Zhao Mama comforted, "Madam just pay more attention in the future." She only reminded this because she was sincerely thinking of Shen Jin.
Shen Jin also understood, nodded, "I understand."
"It's better for Madam to explain to the general." Zhao Mama said in a low voice, "No matter what others think, as long as the general understands Madam's intentions, that's the most important thing."
"Okay." Shen Jin is not a person who doesn't know what to do. She understands Zhao Nanny's kindness in her heart, and she doesn't say anything, but she remembers Zhao Nanny's care for her in her heart, and she will only repay her when she has a chance in the future.
Zhao mama got water again and waited for Shen Jin to clean, and she helped Shen Jin out when she saw nothing unusual.
Because Chu Xiuming just sat in the yard without moving, the food was placed directly on the stone table, but because Shen Jin didn't come out, they didn't even open it.
Seeing Shen Jin and Nanny Zhao come out at this time, the maid lifted the lid and arranged them neatly. Chu Xiuming didn't ask people to stay and serve them, but let people leave after the things were arranged.
Shen Jin also ate the hair cake that she was thinking of, and it was indeed as Zhao Mama said, with red dates, walnut kernels and raisins in it, and a little more milky fragrance, which tasted very good, and the millet red date porridge was also soft and sticky, and the side dishes were very special It's delicious, although Shen Jin has something on his mind, but when he eats something he likes, his brows and eyes are relaxed, and he never stops chopsticks.
Although Chu Xiuming didn't like sweets, he didn't know whether it was because Shen Jin ate deliciously or cooked well today. He even used an extra bowl of porridge than usual. After eating, the maid who stayed outside came to clean up. Only then did Shen Jin think of Zhao Nanny's reminder, bit her lips, and took a sneak peek at Chu Xiuming. Seeing that he looked good and seemed in a good mood, she said, "Husband, I asked my mother and concubine to send something because I'm greedy, I don't mean anything else, don't think too much... If, if you don't like it, I don't want those things, but tonics... The border town is not complete for a while, and the Holy One doesn't know when it will be given... "
Shen Jin explained incoherently, with anxiety on his face. Chu Xiuming was stunned for a moment, then felt a little helpless and funny. When Shen Jin didn't know what to say, he flicked her forehead with his finger and said, " Don't worry, your husband is not so narrow-minded, just want whatever you want, there is a daughter-in-law who is elbowing her home, I am too late to be happy, how can I be angry."
"Really?" Shen Jin's eyes lit up, looking at Chu Xiuming expectantly.
Chu Xiuming patted her forehead again, "Don't question your husband's words."
Only then did Shen Jin belatedly cover her forehead, wrinkled her little nose and said, "It will hurt...don't play it."
"Who made your little head think about things." Although Chu Xiuming said that, knowing that he hadn't used his strength just now, he reached out to take Shen Jin's hand and rubbed it for her, "Okay, go write a letter, Remember what you said about ham, and don’t miss out on dried shrimp.”
"Okay." Shen Jinxiao's eyes were extremely cute, she got up and said, "Nurse, let's go back."
"I'll ask Nanny Zhao to explain something." Chu Xiuming said.
Shen Jin frowned, looked at Zhao Nanny, Zhao Nanny said with a smile, "Madam, go back first, and this old servant will serve Madam in a while."
In fact, Shen Jin was not afraid that there would be no one to serve her, but she was a little worried. At this time, she nodded after hearing the words, and then left.
Seeing Shen Jin's appearance, Chu Xiuming didn't say anything. After Shen Jin left, he looked at Zhao Mama and said, "Mama, I let you stay with Madam to take good care of Madam."
Zhao mama immediately understood what Chu Xiuming meant, because she guessed that she and his wife had just mentioned writing a letter when they went back.
"I think it's good for Madam to be like this now, and it's enough for Nanny to take care of Madam in the future so that Madam won't be bullied." Chu Xiuming pointed out.
"The old slave understands." At this point, there is still something that Zhao Mama doesn't understand. The general likes the way Madam is now, so there is no need to give Madam a lot of advice, as long as she doesn't let others bully Madam. Madame bullying others? It doesn't matter, there is a general behind to support Madam, bullying casually as long as Madam is happy.
Mother Zhao didn't know what to say, whether the general was raising a wife or a daughter.
"Madam is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed." Mother Zhao said, trying to figure out what the general was thinking.
Chu Xiuming nodded in agreement, "It's good to be sensible, do you see what Madam likes on weekdays?"
Mother Zhao lowered her head, and sure enough, these words fit the general's mind. Well, it's just a matter of raising a daughter. Anyway, the general likes this tune. Madam also kept a few rabbits, and later because of the war...the rabbits were given to the wounded to mend their bodies."
Chu Xiuming responded, stood up and said, "I know." After a pause, he seemed to be talking to Zhao Nanny more like he was talking to himself, "After all, this is what the Chu family owes her. I don't know what the situation is, it's good if I win, but if I lose... let her live more comfortably."
Looking at Chu Xiuming's back, Zhao Mama sighed and didn't say anything, but she already understood the general's meaning in her heart. After thinking for a while, she went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of washed red dates, and then entered the room. Jin didn't have a study room to write letters, but sat in the room, and when she saw her, she said softly, "Nurse, help me find where is the paper with plum blossom sprinkled with gold, I can't even find it. .”
Madam Zhao knew that Shen Jin was waiting here because she was worried about her, but the excuse she made was so crude that she couldn't bear to expose it, so she just said, "Then the old slave will help Madam find it, Madam will eat some food first." A red date."
"Okay." After Shen Jin answered, she walked to the study room, "Mother and Concubine is elegant, so I need to use plum blossom sprinkled gold paper to write. Where is the bookmark I made with dried flowers a while ago? Find it and put it in a brocade box. Just give it as a gift to the concubine."
Zhao Momo felt that the gift was too thin, and said, "Why don't you add some more jewelry? Although it is not as exquisite as in Beijing, it is also very interesting."
Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "Alright, I'll choose a few as gifts for the concubine mother and the others later, but the concubine mother likes simplicity and elegance the most, but the elder sister likes coral, so add some corals to the concubine mother's gift , the sisters will not give it away."
"In fact, the general has been fighting for many years, and there are many rare treasures." Listening to Shen Jin's words, Zhao Mama persuaded tactfully, she understood what Shen Jin meant, and the gift for the eldest sister was with the concubine mother.
Shen Jin said with a smile, "Mother, I know that well."
Zhao Mama thought of what Chu Xiuming said, so she stopped trying to persuade her, "What about Prince Rui?"
"I remember that my husband killed some barbarian leaders? Don't they all have personal sabers? Choose the one with more gems and send it to you." Shen Jin said with a smile, "Father will definitely like it." of."
Mother Zhao thought so too, men are all Chongwu, this is a trophy in the hands of the enemy, it is appropriate to give it to Lord Rui, but she has some doubts in her heart, maybe it is because this knife is a trophy and not something that needs to be bought with money. Did you choose such a thing
"Choose another one and give it to the Holy Majesty." Shen Jin said.
Zhao Nanny spread out the gold paper with plum blossom sprinkles on the upper right corner of the desk, and said, "It's still Madam who thinks carefully."
Shen Jin smiled a little smugly, and said, "Anyway, those things not only take up space in the warehouse, but also take a lot of time to maintain and keep them. It's not worthwhile to keep them. It's better to send them to the capital to exchange for some practical ones."
Although Zhao Mama guessed what Shen Jin was thinking, she didn't feel complacent at all. Shen Jin went on to say, "A few days ago, my brother complained that my husband took these things back and threw them away, but it's a pity that no one wants to give them away. , but I don’t think it’s anyone else’s fault, it’s because my husband is too good at fighting and doesn’t know how to live, if you want me to say, just give it away during the New Year’s and Longevity Days.”
Don't you think that the Madam would be rare for things that you don't want
"In addition to sabers, I heard that there are other types of axes and axes. It is enough to send a few kinds every year, and add some other things." Shen Jin is very good at calculating such things, and there are many contacts in Ruiwang's mansion. That's right, but Concubine Chen and Concubine Shen Jin are not like Concubine Xu, who will be rewarded by the prince at every turn, and Concubine Chen's family background can only be said to be average.
Whether you are going out to meet guests or entertain guests in the mansion, you cannot wear the clothes repeatedly, otherwise you will be laughed at if it spreads out. At that time, Shen Jin had not yet been looked after by Princess Rui, and things were just the rules of the palace. It is already considered a luxury in ordinary people's homes, but the environment like Prince Rui's Mansion is not enough.
When Shen Jin was older, Concubine Chen saved her share for Shen Jin, which made Shen Jin more than enough, and she couldn't send it out as frequently as Shen Zi and the others. The jewelry is re-exploded or changed for use, and the same is true for clothes.
Shen Jin saw all these things in her eyes, and felt very sorry for Concubine Chen, but neither of them could do anything about it. It was even more important to plan carefully when giving gifts back to others. But this is also a skill, the person who gives it again can't be related to the person who gave it originally, otherwise it is not good to be seen by others.
Zhao Mama listened to Shen Jin chattering about the past while writing a letter, Shen Jin didn't complain or feel uncomfortable, but with a little complacency, "That time I removed the gems from the bracelet, and then The gold was re-melted and someone made a hairpin, but they didn't notice it, and they praised my hairpin for being beautiful, so ah, some things that are not used in the house, they can be sent out in a different way... "
Shen Jin's voice had a soft feeling, and she didn't need to deliberately act like a baby. Following her words, Zhao Momo always felt that she saw a little squirrel kept moving things to hide at home, and the little squirrel Behind the squirrel, a lion sitting on the treasure mountain flicks its tail from time to time, throwing a gem out, and then waits for the little squirrel to move back, then throws it out, and then moves it back...
