"Want to go to the exchange market?" Chu Xiuming waited for Shen Jin to finish talking about all kinds of novelties and cute animals in the exchange market before asking.
Shen Jin fawned over a piece of hibiscus cake and handed it to Chu Xiuming, and held the teapot with his own hands to refill the tea in his cup until it was 80% full. Then he said, "Husband, can you take me to see it?" Ruan Ruan She acted a little coquettishly, like a kitten's tender paws gently scratching in the palm of a person's hand.
Chu Xiuming took a sip of tea slowly and carefully, and ate the hibiscus cake before saying, "Okay."
Happiness came so quickly that Shen Jin didn't even realize that Chu Xiuming had agreed, she showed her dimples on both sides, "My husband is the best."
There was a smile in Chu Xiuming's eyes. In fact, even if Shen Jin didn't open his mouth, he was going to take her there. The border city was being rebuilt, and the general's mansion couldn't spare manpower to repair it for a while, so Shen Jin didn't even have a place to play. Being able to stay in the house, Zhao Mama has said both inside and outside the words several times, even if Shen Jin didn't complain, it still makes people feel distressed.
After Shen Jin's goal was achieved, she no longer flattered Chu Xiuming. She ate the hibiscus cake contentedly, and Chu Xiuming poured the tea for her. "By the way, there are many rumors about me in the capital?"
"En." Shen Jin swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "There are many, very scary."
Although Chu Xiuming didn't speak, but his eyes revealed the meaning of asking her to talk, Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "Especially after my husband said to go back to Beijing to offer prisoners last time, and left halfway."
Before Chu Xiuming asked again, Shen Jin chose some rumors and started talking. Chu Xiuming took the pastry plate with only half of it left, and saw that when Shen Jin subconsciously took the pastry, she took it empty, but she didn't I care about it, I am still immersed in the storytelling, and I am still having fun while talking, "It is said that the husband has a hideous face. The first fiancée was frightened to death just by seeing the portrait of the husband. The second one seemed to die of illness. One is because the husband was dissatisfied with the girl's appearance, so he killed her..."
"If my husband really returns to the capital, I'm afraid these rumors will be self-defeating." Shen Jin's eyes are beautiful almonds, which look moist and innocent. Drinking human blood, eating raw human flesh, itching for a day without killing hands, husband, do you like to eat bugs?"
Even after hearing so many unfavorable words, Chu Xiuming's face did not move at all, but in Shen Jin's last sentence, he couldn't help but flicked her forehead, "Why do I love to eat bugs?"
"Then have you eaten?" Shen Jin asked again.
Chu Xiuming lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I have eaten it, even the rat meat."
Surprise and anger filled Shen Jin's face. Looking at Chu Xiuming, his eyes were full of urging. Chu Xiuming said helplessly, "I lost the battle that year, and there were only dozens of people hiding in the forest. When I was hungry, I would eat it." Catch and eat everything you can see."
A near-death incident was so simply stated by Chu Xiuming, Shen Jin didn't seem to realize the danger involved, and just said, "Thanks to the fact that I don't have to eat those bugs and rat meat."
Seeing the obvious gloating on Shen Jin's face, Chu Xiuming patted her forehead again. At this time, shouldn't he wonder why he lost the battle or whether he was injured at that time? But being made such a fuss by Shen Jin, those feelings of sorrow disappeared.
"These rumors began to spread about six or seven years ago." Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "When I found out, it was already known to everyone, but at that time there were not so many, and it was not so excessive. "
Chu Xiuming raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Jin. He thought his little wife would be happy to spread those rumors in the border town.
Shen Jin puffed up his cheeks and said, "No one will believe it. In the capital city, everyone has never seen you, and the daily life is too boring. I always need to find something to talk about. But everyone in the border town is very busy. Where can I find you?" these times."
Chu Xiuming also thought about the seven or eight hundred and sixteen heads, so he deceived those who had never seen a murder.
Shen Jin muttered a lot, a lot of things were useful, and even more things were useless, "But it's strange, there is no rumor about my uncle in Beijing." The uncle she was talking about was exactly Chu Xiuyuan.
There was a bit of sarcasm in Chu Xiuming's eyes, and it disappeared quickly, making Shen Jin think that he was wrong and didn't care. Since the husband doesn't want her to know, it's better not to know, because it's almost time for dinner , Shen Jin did not go back, but stayed with Chu Xiuming, and went to the hall with him. Chu Xiuyuan had already arrived, and when he saw them, he smiled, "Brother, sister-in-law."
"En." Chu Xiuming responded, and the sailors brought by the maids washed their hands, Anping also prepared water for Shen Jin, and the two of them sat down after washing, and Chu Xiuyuan also sat down beside Chu Xiuming.
The maid quickly brought up the food. When she saw the plate of diced chicken, her eyes lit up. She could already smell the faint spicy and sweet aroma. First, she filled a spoonful and put it on the plate. I just picked up a piece with chopsticks and ate it. The diced chicken was deep-fried, with a little sweet and spicy taste, and it was even more delicious than I remembered. The thick white porridge was boiled, not to mention how fragrant it was. .
After the meal was finished, Chu Xiuming took Shen Jin's hand and sent her back to the yard. Shen Jin also felt that her husband was a good person, and didn't care about the fact that he eavesdropped on her last time. When he was on his feet, he even sighed with Zhao Momo, "My husband is really a good person."
Nanny Zhao didn't know what to say, no matter how many good things she said about the general on weekdays, Shen Jin would be distracted, but today, just one dish can make Shen Jin sigh for a long time, Anping said with a smile, "As long as Madam likes it. "
"Actually, I also ate a dish. Not only was the meat smooth and tender, but the side dishes inside were also delicious." Shen Jin looked at Zhao Mama expectantly, and described the taste in detail before saying directly Mother Zhao quickly went to tell the general that Shen Jin felt elated when she thought that this dish would appear on her dinner table in a few days.
Both Anping and Zhao Nanny saw what Shen Jin meant, and Zhao Nanny said, "If madam speaks, the general will definitely give orders."
"No way." Shen Jin said without thinking, "That would make it look like I love food too much."
Not only Zhao Mama but even Anping were a little speechless. Could it be possible that he didn't ask for it himself, so he wouldn't seem too fond of food
Zhao Momo felt both helpless and funny, so she could only say, "Yes, this old slave knows."
Shen Jin gave her a sweet smile contentedly, but when she fell asleep at night, she woke up because of the pain in her lower abdomen. I don't know if the goal was achieved or if Zhao Mama's conditioning had worked during this period, Shen Jin stopped. The long period of menstruation came suddenly, not to mention the slippery and tender flesh. This time her face was so painful that she could only lie on the bed with the stove in her hand and be poured with brown sugar water by Mammy Zhao. There is no food with a little chili, which is even more painful.
But this month's event came at the right time, just before the opening of the exchange market, the whole person relaxed a lot, and was called up by Zhao Mama before dawn, and drank a bowl of almond goat's milk in a daze, Only then did he wake up, and changed his clothes to wash up. Today, Anping simply pulled up Shen Jin's hair, and then fixed it with a silver crown. She was dressed in a dark blue dress, looking refreshing, Finally, he wrapped her in a dark cloak before sending Shen Jin out. Chu Xiuming, who was dressed in brown shorts, was already standing outside. When he saw Shen Jin, he stretched out his hand. It got out of the cloak and put it on Chu Xiuming's palm.
Chu Xiuming's hands were warm, dispelling the chill in the early morning. After he put the hood on Shen Jin, he led her to the back door. Seeing this, Zhao Mama handed the small bag she was carrying to Shen Jin. After leaving Anping, Anping followed behind Shen Jin, she will not follow today, but she has already asked for leave and is going home to have a look.
Shen Jin's clothes today are very plain, but the details are very delicate, like sleeves. The cuffs of the inner dress have butterfly-shaped buttons, because they are tightened to show her slender wrists. The outer one is Slightly short and wide sleeves, there is a pattern of flowers and plants on the side, which looks like a butterfly just flying out of the flowers at first glance.
The person who opened the exchange market is not too far from the border town. If you ride a horse, you will arrive in an hour. Shen Jin and Chu Xiuming rode together. Chu Xiuming first carried Shen Jin on the horse, and then took the cloak handed over by the servant Putting on the horse and sitting behind Shen Jin, holding the rein with one hand, Anping gave Shen Jin the things prepared by Mother Zhao.
Chu Xiuming helped Shen Jin adjust her position to make her sit more comfortably, then wrapped her in his cloak, fastened the hidden button of the cloak with the other hand, and hugged Shen Jin tightly. Kam's waist.
Unwillingly, Shen Jin undid one of the hidden buttons on the top, poked his head out, and said, "I can't even see outside."
Chu Xiuyuan also got on the horse, and heard the words next to Chu Xiuming, "Sister-in-law, elder brother is afraid that the horse will run away, and you drank the wind."
Only then did Shen Jin realize that he had misunderstood Chu Xiuming, and scratched the back of Chu Xiuming's hand a few times with soft fingers, and said, "I'll get in later."
Chu Xiuming was not angry. Seeing that everyone was ready, he said, "Let's go." Then he pressed Shen Jin into his arms again, making sure that Shen Jin had buttoned up again before riding forward.
Shen Jin used to ride a horse, but at that time she just sat on the horse and was dragged around by the servants. Later, the princess and the others did not allow it, saying that it is not good for a girl to ride a horse because her legs will become ugly. Resisting curiosity, he untied another one, pulled a slit and looked out, today's border town is extraordinarily quiet.
After getting out of the city gate, the horse ran up. Shen Jin found that not only could he not see the scenery clearly, but his face was also a little uncomfortable in the wind, so he obediently hid in Chu Xiuming's arms. Feeling a little hungry, he opened the door of Zhao Mama. Mammy took out the bag prepared by Mammy, took out the jerky and pastries wrapped in oiled paper, and slowly gnawed on it.
Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan walked side by side, followed by the servants of the mansion. Gradually, there were more people, all of whom were going to the exchange market, and Chu Xiuming and the others slowed down.
Chu Xiuyuan wanted to talk to Chu Xiuming, but he saw his elder brother's cloak move, moved again, first got out an arm, still holding a piece of dried meat in his hand, and then poked Chu Xiuming's cheek, There was a bit of helplessness in Chu Xiuming's eyes. When Chu Xiuyuan thought his brother would refuse, he saw him lower his head and eat the piece of jerky. Then he patted the place where the head should be inside the cloak, and moved away even more this time. Yes, the arms were retracted, and then the head was changed and arched out.
Chu Xiuming didn't push her back, but let the horse run slowly. Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Xiuming, then at Shen Jin, and suddenly thought that the piece of jerky could not be the sister-in-law who came out to bribe him brother
