The gift that Shen Jin was going to send to the capital could not go with the post station, so after choosing the things, he wrote the gift list and put it together with the letter, and sealed the letter. Then Shen Jin went to clean his hands and ate red dates.
These red dates were not pitted in advance, Shen Jin specially asked for it. She likes to slowly nibble off the thick flesh of the red dates and then hold the pits in her mouth. There is a layer of pulp tightly attached to the pits. Illusion, Shen Jin always felt that the taste of that layer of flesh was sweeter.
Ever since Mother Zhao came, Shen Jin has never eaten red dates with pits again, just like no matter what kind of fruit he eats in Prince Rui's Mansion in the capital, the kitchen cuts it into small pieces and can only be eaten with a silver sign , You can eat the whole ones, that is, oranges and lychees, which are very particular, and you need to cover them with your sleeves to spit them into the handkerchief, which is extra troublesome, and behaviors like having a nucleus in your mouth are absolutely not allowed.
Today, the red dates were not pitted. At first, Shen Jin thought that Madam Zhao had forgotten, so she secretly glanced at Madam Zhao, and seeing that Madam Zhao didn't pay attention to packing other things, she narrowed her eyes and put the jujube pits in it. In his mouth, he took another red date and continued to chew, and then hid a few date pits on the left side and a few date pits on the right side. He couldn't help shaking his calf, not to mention how beautiful it was.
Zhao Momo saw it in her eyes, cleaned up her brushes and washed her hands. If the general hadn't mentioned it specially today, Shen Jin might still not be able to eat such red dates.
But watching Shen Jin eat one, he sneaked a glance at her. When she moved a little, Shen Jin's mouth immediately stopped moving, and even the embroidered shoes with small beads on her feet did not shake nervously. She would never admit that she walked twice more in front of Shen Jin on purpose.
"Ma'am, I've almost vomited." Before leaving the study to open the door for Anping, Madam Zhao said suddenly, and then glanced at the bowl that was missing a little, "The first few should have lost their sweetness. .”
Shen Jin's eyes widened, she opened her small mouth slightly and then closed it immediately, subconsciously licked the date stones, and stared blankly at Zhao Nanny leaving.
When Nanny Zhao came in with Anping, she saw Shen Jin blushing, and the date pits were all spat out into a palm-sized bowl, which was placed on the desk side by side with the bowl containing the dates.
"Anping, have their memorials been written yet?" Shen Jin asked without waiting for Mammy Zhao and the others to speak.
Anping didn't know what happened in the study just now, and said, "It wasn't finished, the servant sent someone to deliver food to the two adults, and the two adults were eating at this time." The horse meat left in the kitchen was too salty No one wanted to eat it, so it happened to be stewed and sent to the two envoys and their servants.
Shen Jin frowned and said, "It's been so long, I've written six or seven letters, and they haven't finished a single memorial."
Anping laughed, "I'm afraid the two adults don't know how to write. After all, they just arrived in the border town and don't know the situation here."
Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "That's right, bullying the emperor is a serious crime, and they will be held accountable if they write indiscriminately. How about this, mammy, go ask your husband if he has any subordinates with better literary talents and let them Write a copy to the two adults, and the two adults will modify and copy it again."
Mother Zhao respectfully responded, but in fact she still underestimated Madam, although Madam was confused about small matters, she was clear about major matters, "Old slave will go now."
Shen Jin nodded quickly and said, "By the way, mama, let someone send a message to the two adults. I will go to see them when I wake up."
"Yes." Zhao Nanny agreed, and then retreated when she saw that Shen Jin had no other orders.
Hearing the sound of closing the door, Shen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, waved to Anping and said, "Come on, today's jujube is sweet."
An Ping said with a smile, "Why does Madam look guilty?"
"I didn't spit out the date stones and was discovered by my mother, but Anping, you came at the right time, and I sent my mother out again. At night, my mother will forget about it and won't talk about me anymore " Shen Jin said with some complacency.
Don't Anping think that Mammy Zhao will forget, besides, didn't Madam Zhao keep the date stone on purpose
Zhao Momo silently withdrew her hand that was about to knock on the door. Before she left the house, she remembered that she forgot to take Shen Jin to write the letter that was ready to be sent through the post station. Too much hope? Sighing silently, Zhao Mama thought it was better to let a little girl pick it up later.
Because Mother Zhao was away, Shen Jin and Anping happily shared the rest of the red dates. Anping waited on Shen Jin and rinsed his mouth. Flower parade?"
"Yes." Shen Jin put on soft sleeping shoes, sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms, her quilt was brought from the capital as a dowry, and concubine Chen embroidered it for her with her own hands. It was two vivid koi. The concubine's embroidery skills are very good, but it's a pity that Shen Jin didn't inherit this.
"Tell me more." Although Anping is stable, he is not really old and has never been to the capital, so he should be curious about these things, but because Shen Jin doesn't go out much, the streets of the capital are not as good as the streets of the border city. Familiar, there is really nothing to talk about, but she knew about it when Anping asked today.
Shen Jin changed her posture, and Anping stuffed a cushion on her back so that she could nest up more comfortably, but Shen Jin refused to speak, and glanced at the cushion behind her, Anping said helplessly, "I'll take care of it tomorrow." Help you sew a big cushion out, just like what you said last time, the kind that is thick and soft and allows people to sink into it."
"Okay." Only then did Shen Jin say, "Actually, I only saw it once, and it was my eldest sister who took me there..."
At the door, Chu Xiuming stopped Nanny Zhao who was about to report. After making a quiet gesture, he went to the side and moved a small round chair and sat at the door of Shen Jin's bedroom. In fact, Shen Jin and Anping's voices were not loud. Mammy can only hear the general idea, but Chu Xiuming has sharp ears and eyes, and because of his martial arts practice, he is even more keen, so he knows everything clearly.
The corners of Zhao Momo's eyes twitched, looking at the expressionless and generous general who was sitting and eavesdropping, she felt a little sorry for the master and wife who died young.
"Is the number one scholar really an old man?" Anping asked.
Shen Jin nodded vigorously, "I was also scared at the time, so how long can I be an official even if I am admitted to the number one scholar? But the chicken made in that shop is delicious, it seems to be fried first and then fried. I ordered spicy and sweet dishes, but my eldest sister didn’t let me eat more spicy ones, and said that the food outside was not clean, so I used a few chopsticks for one dish, which was a waste..." Seeing Anping’s expression, he said helplessly, "Oh, okay, let's talk about the number one scholar, his beard is all white."
Anping was full of curiosity, "What about the second place? It can't be the old man, right?" He hesitated before asking, "Is that fried chicken really delicious?"
"En." Shen Jin said without hesitation, "I think there may be honey in this dish, it's really good, but my sister and the others didn't eat it... Second place, I don't have any impression, but I remember Tanhua, listen It is said that Tanhua usually chooses the most handsome one."
"Is he really handsome?" Anping asked.
Shen Jin really couldn't remember clearly, and besides, she was sitting on the second floor, and she couldn't lean over the window to watch, and she had to eat a few more bites of spicy chicken while the eldest sister didn't notice, "It should be."
"How about comparing with the general?" An Ping asked after hearing Shen Jin's words.
Shen Jin said without hesitation, "Of course it's the general."
Chu Xiuming, who was eavesdropping openly outside the door, showed a slight smile in his eyes.
"I didn't see Tanhua clearly." Shen Jin rubbed against the soft cushion and said, "However, I think the general is different from what I imagined!"
Chu Xiuming sat up straight unconsciously.
"I thought the general had a hulking back, eyes like copper bells, a beard, dark skin and a ferocious face..." Shen Jin summed up all the rumors he had heard. Cups, eat fresh meat, and occasionally taste human flesh... "
Zhao Mama listened intermittently, but just like that, she took two steps to the side without any trace, a little farther away from Chu Xiuming. Next time, she should remind Madam not to mention anyone's name behind her back. It was mentioned twice a day, and the parties heard both of them, what luck.
Chu Xiuming, on the other hand, looked pensive. Wasn't the girl he described really the monsters and goblins in Miscellaneous Notes of Unofficial History
"Ma'am, why do you think so?" An Ping was surprised and looked at Shen Jin in disbelief.
Shen Jin looked at Anping innocently, and said, "I've heard more than this. Why are the chairs in Yongningbo's mansion covered with human skulls? Yongningbo likes to eat more than one person..."
Anping listened, but was gradually attracted, and Chu Xiuming at the door of the house had already heard Shen Jin start to say that mentioning Yongning Bo's name in the capital can stop children from crying, so he almost pasted his portrait on the door as a door god to drive him away. It's a ghost town house, not because I don't want to post it, but because I haven't seen a real person, so there are no portrait posts.
Shen Jinzheng said that Chu Xiuming broke into the bandit's den alone at night. After a loud roar, all the bandits were scared to kneel down begging for mercy and crying. He carried a big knife and chopped off seven hundred and eighty-six heads. Forgive me, that day when the thunderstorm was blowing...
There was a sudden knock on the door, which startled both Shen Jin and Anping. The bedroom door was slowly pushed open, and Chu Xiuming in a brocade robe was standing at the door, and Zhao Mama, who had a particularly tangled expression. ma.
Chu Xiuming walked in, first glanced at Anping, Anping immediately stood up, saluted and said, "General."
Shen Jin was only wearing a small pink dress under the quilt. She looked at Chu Xiuming and then at Zhao Nanny, her lips moved and she asked, "Husband, when did you come here?"
Chu Xiuming did not answer, but looked at Zhao Mama, Zhao Mama said, "Mrs. rest early, and this old servant will leave first. This old servant will send Madam's letter to the two adults from Beijing, and promise to let you They sent it away with the memorial."
Anping also came to his senses and said, "Your maidservant will leave." After finishing speaking, she left with Mother Zhao, and closed the door intimately.
