Sitting on a small wooden stool, Shen Jin gasped and tried to chew the meat in her mouth so that she could swallow it. On the small table in front of her was a piece of greased paper, and on it was cut into pieces of barbecue meat. She only took one bite. Shen Jin couldn't stand the heat anymore, her eyes and nose were red, and she complained to Chu Xiuming in a low voice, "It's so spicy..." She thought she could eat chili, so she was asked by the barbecue seller When it was time, I was very sure that it would be spicy. She likes to eat chili very much, so she can put more!

"Spit it out." Chu Xiuming said helplessly, and stretched out his hand in front of her.

Shen Jin held the signature in one hand and covered her mouth with the other. Even she sped up a little bit. Shen Jin couldn't do things like spit out the things in her mouth outside, especially in Chu Xiuming's hands.

Chu Xiuming didn't force it, just poured a cup of herbal tea, and after Shen Jin just swallowed the meat and put it down, he fed it to her mouth. Shen Jin quickly drank it in small sips. She felt her mouth was burning, and the inside was hot and bitter. After drinking a cup, Chu Xiuming filled it up for her again, then put the cup in her hand, and let Shen Jin drink it by himself, while he held Shen Jin and the other bamboo stick, and moved towards himself After giving it away, he lowered his head and ate the barbecue that Shen Jin took a bite of.

The peppers that Shen Jin ate no matter whether he was in the capital or in the General’s Mansion were seeded, so they were not too spicy. Not only that, there were differences in the types of peppers and the places where they were grown. The peppers bought in the General’s Mansion were all fragrant and spicy As a supplement, the chili outside is really hot. Chu Xiuming knew it but Shen Jin didn't, but why didn't he tell Shen Jin in advance... Looking at Shen Jin's white rabbit-like eyes, Chu Xiuming's eyes became softer, "It makes people I’ll bake you some without chili.”

"En." Shen Jin drank two cups of tea, but still felt uncomfortable in his mouth, and poured a third cup, "Less point." Because in the border towns, he has developed the habit of not wasting things, unlike in the Ruiwang Mansion in the capital. In the middle, I need a lot of dishes every time I eat, but each dish can only be wasted by moving a few chopsticks at most, "Husband, it's too spicy, I can't eat it."

Chu Xiuming stopped Shen Jin, he greeted the stall owner next door to the barbecue, and asked her to bring a large bowl of almond tea, which was full of almond tea, covered with black and white sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, hawthorn, etc. , very real and very pretty, "Eat this." Chu Xiuming mixed the food evenly before pushing it in front of Shen Jin. Shen Jin responded, the almond tea was a little hot, and the first sip made his mouth feel even more uncomfortable. But the taste was sour and sweet. After Shen Jinlian took a few sips, the spicy taste in his mouth disappeared.

"It's delicious." Shen Jin laughed contentedly, and continued to say softly, "Don't eat too much chili."

Chu Xiuming sighed helplessly, and ate the barbecue that Shen Jin disliked with a bamboo stick, and said, "Some people have a strong taste, so you can't get used to it."

"Then I'll ask you before eating next time." Shen Jin said obediently and doglegly.

Then Chu Xiuming nodded, as if he had no choice but to agree because of Shen Jin's request.

The new barbecue has been delivered, Shen Jin took a bamboo stick and ate it, looked at Chu Xiuming and asked, "Aren't you afraid of spicy food?"

Chu Xiuming glanced at the barbecue with chili, then at the one without chili in front of Shen Jin, and finally looked at Shen Jin with raised eyebrows, Shen Jin hurriedly drank a small amount of almond tea with both hands, "My husband is the best , drink some of this and it won’t be spicy.”

The two finished the barbecue and shared a bowl of almond tea before moving on again, but this time Chu Xiuming didn't let Shen Jin sit on his shoulders anymore, but took her by the hand and led her along the road After eating, because there were too many varieties, I bought a small portion of many things. Chu Xiuming didn't let Shen Jin eat more, and the rest went into Chu Xiuming's stomach. Even if it was Chu Xiuming, he ate it all the way Unable to bear it anymore, she dragged the reluctant Shen Jin to the place where there were dead things like leather.

The basic necessities of life in the market, clothing does not just refer to cloth clothes, but all usable things. Shen Jin saw that there are not only those who sell leather, but also those who sell spices and even medicinal materials. The ginseng placed outside The appearance is not very good, seven taels of ginseng and eight taels of treasure, and the thickest one on the outside is no more than a thumb. "I remember that there is a ginseng that is more than seven taels and nearly eight taels in the mother's dowry." Shen Jin whispered, "Then At that time, Eldest Brother was seriously ill, so Mother and Concubine cut up ginseng and made soup, and the imperial doctor said, without that ginseng, Eldest Brother might not be able to save him."

Shen Jin's tone is very calm, but this memory is very deep, because when the elder brother was seriously ill, the whole Rui Palace was disturbed, even the meals eaten by Concubine Chen and Shen Jin were perfunctory, and that was Shen Jin's first The first time he ate cold food, but no one dared to make a fuss. The elder brother Shen Xuan was not only the eldest son but also the eldest son. King Rui and Princess Rui valued him the most.

Chu Xiuming responded, "Why are you so sick?"

"I don't know." Shen Jin and Chu Xiuming were very close, stopping him from time to time to look at those little things at the booth, "I remember... was carried back outside..." She was still young at that time, remember Not very clear, "I heard my elder sister mention it once, it seems that she went out with some prince, the ginseng plant used most of it, and then raised it for a long time, but elder brother's body is still a little weak, every year at the turn of autumn and winter, the mother The concubine will be very worried."

Although they are all the children of King Rui, concubines like Shen Jin don't often enter the palace, and rarely meet those princes and princesses, but Shen Qi, Shen Xuan and Shen Xi often deal with those people, and they will do it every now and then. Going into the palace to talk with the empress dowager and the empress, every time you come back, you will be rewarded, sometimes it is a new jewelry in the palace, sometimes it is a pastry, "every time the eldest sister comes back from the palace, she will give the things rewarded by the palace. Let’s divide it up, but you have to be careful of the second sister the next day, she is jealous of the eldest sister but she dare not ask her about it.” After finishing speaking, she wrinkled her nose, “It’s very annoying.”

Although Shen Jin didn't say anything, Chu Xiuming heard it, and he didn't dare to find out about the eldest sister, so how could he vent his anger? You can't use your own sister to vent your anger, but Shen Jin is the only punching bag left. No wonder Shen Jin finds it annoying. Hearing Shen Jin's words, Chu Xiuming felt a little distressed, "It won't happen in the future."

However, this matter was hidden very deeply. Shen Xuan and the prince almost died when they came back from going out. They were afraid that something happened. If it had something to do with the prince, it would be more interesting.

Shen Jin smiled with crooked eyes, "I won't let the second sister bully me foolishly. The eldest sister is here. Later, when the eldest sister got married, I was brought by the princess." How much hard work and heartache However, Shen Jin never said that she only had a memory after suffering too much, "And after the news of my marriage to your husband spread, the palace rewarded a lot of things from time to time."
