The two envoys were sent out of the General's Mansion, and they were immediately ignored by Shen Jin, because she had nothing to do with the rest. At this time, Shen Jin was sitting in the study, talking to Zhao Nanny while drawing on the paper. , "I think two peach trees and pomegranate trees can be planted in the yard." Peach and pomegranate are Shen Jin's favorite fruits, and peach blossoms can also be made into pastries, and it is said that peach blossom wine is also available.
Zhao Momo thought for a while and felt that the meanings of pomegranate and peach were good. One would have many children and grandchildren, and the other would be auspicious and long-lasting. She exclaimed, "Madam has a very good vision."
Shen Jin drew four circles and wrote peaches and pomegranates respectively, "I can get some grapes here."
Nanny Zhao nodded, grapes also imply many children and grandchildren... Hey, her eyes suddenly became more subtle. Could it be that Madam wants a child? But it is also possible, Anping also said that Madam likes those small animals, it would be better to have more, the Chu family is too thin.
Madam's body is a little thin, it's better to make up for it, and there is no rush to have a baby, at least when Madam is older...
I don't know if it's because Zhao Mama and Shen Jin have been together for a long time, and somehow they associate liking with having more children.
"How about digging a small pond here?" Shen Jin asked with bright eyes. When she was in Prince Rui's Mansion, she was envious of the small pond in the garden of Concubine Xu. The turtle, and Shen Jin can only go to the big garden if he wants to see the fish.
Zhao Nanny thought for a while and persuaded, "The water in the pool is cold in winter, I'm afraid it's not good for Madam's health."
Shen Jin responded with some disappointment, but she also knew it was for her own good, so she smiled, "It's okay, there is a big garden anyway." Besides, Shen Jin was the only one who would go to see the fish in the mansion, so there was no difference, no Like in Prince Rui's Mansion, every time Shen Jin went to pick up Shen Zi and the others when they wouldn't go.
Thinking of this, Shen Jin was satisfied again, "Then I can circle this land and raise a few rabbits."
Zhao Nanny really couldn't see Shen Jin's disappointment, she thought for a while and said, "It's better to have lunch, Madam asked the general, and she couldn't tell the general has a solution."
The general once said to ask his wife to pack up her things and prepare to move to the yard over there. Seeing that Chu Xiuming didn't mention it after she finished speaking, Shen Jin didn't take it seriously, but Zhao Nanny remembered it clearly. With Xiu Ming's understanding, all the people or things he cares about will be at ease under his nose.
Shen Jin smiled and didn't mention the small pond anymore, but said, "I don't know when people will be free to repair it."
When the barbarians besieged the city, they used all the things that could be used to guard the city gate. At that time, even the furniture was destroyed, not to mention the flowers and trees. The things in Shen Jin's house were repurchased intermittently during this period. No matter the material or style used is not as fine as Shen Jin's dowry, but it is not bad to use.
Shen Jin would not feel wronged by such a small matter. After all, she knew that it took a lot of effort for Chu Xiuming to equip her with a whole house of things not long after the war, and these were all newly polished, not She is a contented person who is worn out by others.
"When I was sending the two adults off, I went outside for a while." Anping put down the work in his hand and said, "Looking at the repairs that have been made, it is estimated that those craftsmen will be able to come to the mansion next month at the latest. gone."
Shen Jin laughed when he heard the words, the dimples looked sweet and beautiful, "That's great, I don't know if old man Qiao will continue to sell sesame seed cakes."
If Chu Xiuming hadn't ordered all the craftsmen to repair the places where the people in the border towns lived, the General's Mansion wouldn't be in such a miserable state until now.
Anping said with a smile, "After a few days, when old man Qiao opens the shop, the servants will go and buy some for Madam."
Sure enough, Shen Jin smiled more happily, and Zhao Mama thought in her heart to choose a close-fitting maid for Shen Jin. After the joy is gone, Anping will be left alone, which is a little less.
"Actually, when the mutual market was opened, there were a lot of novel foods there. I even saw people eating grilled bugs." Anping remembered it clearly, and she was taken aback at that time.
Shen Jin's eyes widened, her pink lips parted slightly, and she said in surprise and doubt, "What bug?"
"The dark ones are the ones crawling and jumping on the ground outside." Only then did Anping remember that Shen Jin had never seen many bugs, and no one had nothing to do to catch bugs and show them to her, "I remember some Grilled cicadas."
Shen Jin wrinkled her nose, and asked with some confusion, "Can it be delicious?"
Mother Zhao wanted to make the general and his wife get closer, so she said, "Madam wants to know, just ask the general."
"Husband has eaten bugs?" Shen Jin's expression became more entangled, and her brows were slightly frowned. Could it be that her husband really likes to eat these weird things, but he just endured them because they needed to eat together and take care of her emotions
Zhao Nanny didn't know what Shen Jin was thinking, and said with a smile, "The general has eaten a lot of food, so he didn't pay much attention to it when he was out in the army."
Sure enough, although Shen Jin thinks that Chu Xiuming likes to eat those strange things... But he is still very considerate, as long as she is not forced to eat, she actually has no objection, if she really wants to eat, I don't know where Will the chef help her cook raw meat in the same way as fish sticks
Mother Zhao thought that after saying this, Shen Jinhui would look forward to her saying more about the general with bright eyes, but found that the smile on Shen Jin's face was gone, as if she was in trouble because of something, her eyes were dazed, obviously not at all. Didn't pay attention to what she said.
Zhao Nanny was a little helpless about this, but Anping saw it and understood Zhao Nanny's thoughts, and she served Shen Jin for a longer time, knowing that even if Shen Jin was in a daze at this time, she could still hear the voice. He smiled and said, "Ma'am, there are still a lot of interesting things in the exchange market. That time, the servants met a dog seller."
"Ah?" Sure enough, after hearing Anping's words, he asked in surprise, "Really?"
Anping said, "Yes, it's very cute, but the servant's father won't allow the servant to buy it, saying that the family can't run away."
Shen Jin's lips twitched and said, "My yard is big here."
"So if Madam likes it, go talk to the general and let the general take Madam there." Anping said with a smile.
Shen Jin hesitated again when he heard the words, "Will it be too troublesome?"
Zhao Nanny also felt that Anping's idea was good, so she said, "Madam, don't worry, even if Madam doesn't go, the general will still go. The big market is held every six months, and the small market is once a month. It just so happens that the big market is very lively. , many people in the border town will pass by."
When Shen Jin heard that he took him there by the way, he felt relieved and said, "Then I'll go and talk to the general."
Mother Zhao said softly, "The general is not in the mansion right now, why don't you talk to the general after dinner?"
Shen Jin also remembered at this time that both Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan had gone out to do errands today. In the border town, as long as Chu Xiuming didn't want to, it was impossible for those people from the capital to find them.
It happened that Anping mentioned the matter of the border town, and Shen Jin stopped drawing pictures, and asked, "Good Anping, what else is there besides those mutual markets?"
Anping doesn’t remember very clearly, she also went there once when she was a child, “There are many, and you can exchange things like tea and salt with others there. Madam will go around by herself when the time comes, it’s meaningless if I say too much .”
Shen Jin thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay."
"Why don't Madam continue to talk about what happened after the general beheaded seven or eight hundred and sixteen people that day?" After listening to the half of the story, Anping kept thinking about it, "And the general is not here today."
Shen Jin was also a little moved, but she secretly glanced at Zhao Nanny one, two, three times... The corners of Zhao Nanny's eyes twitched and she said, "This old slave is going to see how the hibiscus cake in the kitchen is doing."
"Mama, you've worked hard." Anping said quickly, "I'll help Mama squeeze her shoulders at night."
As soon as the door was closed, Mother Zhao heard Shen Jin's soft voice coming from inside, "After the general chopped off seventy-eight heads with a knife..."
"Ma'am, isn't it seven hundred and eighty-six?" An Ping asked.
Shen Jin puffed up his cheeks before saying, "The general said that it would be tiring for one person to chop off so many heads, so let him chop less."
"Oh." Anping felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
Zhao Mama outside the door silently stretched out her fingers and rubbed the corners of her eyes, it doesn't matter if it wasn't really chopped off, even if it was 7,866, but the general is serious, why are you saying these things to your wife.
Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan came back in the afternoon, and it happened that Shen Jin woke up from a nap, and was dressed up by Zhao Nanny, and asked Anping to bring the hibiscus cake to the two of them.
Looking at Shen Jin who was wearing a water-blue dress, Madam Zhao always felt guilty for some reason, as if she had washed a rabbit white with her own hands, put it in a beautiful disk and served it to the leopard, and the leopard...
Reaching out and rubbing the corners of her eyes again, Mammy Zhao felt that she might not have slept well last night. It was obviously a water-blue dress, and it had nothing to do with the white rabbit.
Chu Xiuyuan has already gone back to the house to rest. He was injured too badly a while ago, and even if the injury heals, he will recover slowly. Chu Xiuming was reading a book, and after listening to the servant’s report, he closed the book and put it back on the shelf. .
"Husband." This was the first time Shen Jin came to Chu Xiuming on his own initiative, and Chu Xiuming's yard was even more empty than hers.
Chu Xiuming responded without the slightest expression on his face, but Shen Jin could see a little smile in his eyes, and then he was sure that Chu Xiuming didn't dislike her coming to the courtyard to find him, "Mama made hibiscus cake, Husband, do you want to taste it?"
"Okay." There was no need for servants, Chu Xiuming led Shen Jin to go inside, after Zhao Mama signaled An Ning to hand over the food box to Shen Jin, the two of them did not follow.
Shen Jin followed Chu Xiuming with a food box. He didn't walk fast, so Shen Jin not only followed very easily, but also had time to secretly look around. He was so focused that he didn't notice that Chu Xiuming stopped. He stepped down, and before bumping into it, a finger was lightly pressed against his forehead.
"Ah?" Shen Jin had already raised his feet, and put them back obediently, "What's wrong with your husband?"
Only then did Chu Xiuming put down his fingers, and took the food box from Shen Jin's hand, "If you like it, I'll show you around."
"Is it okay?" Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming expectantly, like a kitten waiting to be fed, and at this time, he would behave obediently and obediently.
Chu Xiuming's usually cold eyebrows and eyes softened a lot. Holding the food box in one hand, he stretched out his hand in front of Shen Jin with the palm facing up. Shen Jin happily put a hand that was a circle smaller than Chu Xiuming's in his palm. There is a difference, but Chu Xiuming is her husband... Even so, Shen Jin's cheeks were still flushed.
If Mother Zhao saw it, she wouldn't feel guilty anymore, because the rabbit had already happily jumped in front of the leopard before it was brought to the leopard.
