Shen Jin yawned, "I'm a little sleepy."

"The old slave made porridge in the kitchen, and Madam will use some before she rests." Madam Zhao said, "The general ordered in advance that the kitchen should be prepared with moderate meals, and Madam does not have to go to the front yard to eat with them gone."

Shen Jin responded, "By the way, I bought a litter of snow rabbits and asked someone to clean up the land where I used to raise rabbits. When they arrive, I will put them in."

"The old slave knows." Seeing that Shen Jin was tired, Madam Zhao sped up her movements, rinsed Shen Jin and changed into new regular clothes. Anping had sent back the mat and put the food in order, "Anping, You help Madam wipe her head, and I will make Madam's bed."

"Okay." Anping agreed, and carefully helped Shen Jin wipe her hair. After eating the warm porridge, Shen Jin lifted her spirits.

After Shen Jin finished eating and brushed her hair, Shen Jin went back to the room to wash up, and Anping also combed her hair, and Shen Jin could lie on the bed and rest. If she was really lying on the bed, Shen Jin felt that there was nothing wrong with her. So sleepy, he asked, "Anping, how are you going home today?"

"It's okay." Anping rubbed Shen Jin's legs through the quilt, and said, "The house is all repaired."

"Xilejia... are you okay?" Shen Jin asked hesitantly.

Since Xi Le's death, Shen Jin has never mentioned Xi Le's family except that she was given things and money to Xi Le's family after getting out of trouble in the border town. Anping thought that Shen Jin had left her behind or was still angry. After all, at that time, for the sake of the family, Xile cried and begged Shen Jin to return home shortly after the barbarians attacked the city. In the end, she was shot by Liu Ya on the way to deliver food to the elder brother at home. Now when Shen Jin mentioned it, her nose was sour. Said, "It's not bad. With the medicinal materials rewarded by my wife, Xi Le's elder brother was also rescued... Xi Le's younger brother has also become much stronger."

"En." Shen Jin closed her eyes, "Anping, I'm asleep."

Anping stopped, and said, "Madam, go to sleep, I will leave when Madam falls asleep."

"Oh." Shen Jin responded, turned over and fell asleep in a daze.

When she was half asleep and half awake, Shen Jin seemed to hear Chu Xiuming's voice, but because she was too sleepy, she didn't open her eyes, but continued to sleep.

Chu Xiuming came to deliver the medicine, Zhao Mama said, "Don't worry, General, Madam only rests after eating."

"Give her some medicine in a while." Chu Xiuming said in a low voice, "Madam is riding a horse for the first time, I'm afraid she will feel unwell tomorrow."

Zhao Momo also came to her senses, took the medicine and said, "This old slave knows."

Chu Xiuming nodded and looked at Anping who was standing aside, "I know about your family, you should take good care of your wife."

Anping said with red eyes, "Yes."

Chu Xiuming didn't say anything else, but Zhao Nanny took out the sketch drawn by Shen Jin a few days ago. Chu Xiuming took a look and remembered it in her heart. Zhao Nanny said, "Madam wanted to dig a small pond in the yard, but the old lady Slave persuaded me, the cold water in the pool is too close, it is not good for Madam's health."

"I see." Chu Xiuming returned the draft to Mother Zhao, and left without saying anything.

He was thinking in his heart that there should be more fruit-bearing trees in the yard. Unlike Nanny Zhao, Chu Xiuming understood what Shen Jin meant when he saw the name of the tree that Shen Jin specially marked.

If you have a small pond, you don’t want to raise fish and shrimp, so you can eat fresh ones, right

But it really can't be too close, so let's open up the yard next to it... Chu Xiuming thought about it carefully, and he had already made a plan. After returning, he went to the study to roughly draw it.

Shen Jin found that Chu Xiuming suddenly became busy during this period, and even Chu Xiuyuan disappeared. Shen Jin was so happy. The litter of snow rabbits had already been sent over and kept in the corner of the yard. The treatment of the rabbits is much better than what Shen Jin used to raise. After all, she was in an awkward position in the mansion at that time, and it was not easy to make too many requests. Now, she doesn't need to ask, everyone has taken care of it properly.

The snow rabbit not only has a beautiful wooden nest, but also has hay and small mats inside, and there are troughs and water tanks for feeding rabbits outside, which are cleaned every day.

Every morning when I wake up, Shen Jin has to stroll to the rabbit nest after eating, and sees all the big and small rabbits jumping around outside, while the little one is lying comfortably in the nest, with his head sticking out looking at the rabbits .

At the beginning, every time the little one appeared, the rabbits would be scared to pee, but now they have gotten used to this natural enemy who comes to occupy their nests every day at dawn, thus forming a good habit.

Every day when the time comes, the little rabbits will hop out of the nest under the leadership of the big rabbits, and then start hopping here and there. After seeing the little guy running from the general courtyard, he opened the door of the rabbit pen and let the little guy go in.

There is no need to lock the door of the rabbit pen when the little one is around. The last time the big rabbit wanted to jump out, the little one, who was clearly sleeping soundly, got out of the rabbit's nest and rushed in front of the big rabbit, hunched over and whining Got up, and abruptly drove the big rabbit back.

In fact, the little one is smaller than the two big rabbits now, but he has a strong momentum. After a few times, the little one will be there. Even if the door of the rabbit pen is not closed, the rabbits will not run out. Anyway, the rabbit pen is not small, enough They have played.

The little one will sleep in the rabbit's nest when Shen Jin is not out, and when Shen Jin comes out, he will come to play with Shen Jin, and return to Chu Xiuming's yard obediently before the sun goes down. Shen Jin was still afraid of it at first Lost by himself, followed all the way but found that Xiao BuDian made a mark along the road, smelled it and went back.

The skins had already been delivered, and Shen Jin picked out the ones chosen for his mother and the others, packed them and sent them to the two envoys. I packed overnight and left before dawn the next day.

They didn't even dare to rest all the way, for fear that if Shen Jin said a word, someone would arrest them again.

At this time, Chu Xiuming's memorial had been sent to Emperor Cheng. There was no serious injury mentioned in the memorial, and the handwriting was neat. Emperor Cheng read it for a long time, and asked someone to find Chu Xiuming's previous memorial for comparison. A satisfied smile appeared on Yishou's face. Even though Chu Xiuming tried his best to hide it, there were still a few weak points in his writing.

"Some people say: Poetry, writing, and painting all have the middle energy..." Emperor Cheng used his nails to draw two places on Chu Xiuming's memorial. Among so many characters, he could accurately find these two places, which shows that he is right. Chu Xiuming's emphasis on the memorial can also be said to be a taboo for Chu Xiuming. He did not say the second half of the sentence, "Bo Yongning's calligraphy is really good."

The close-knit lady standing behind Emperor Cheng did not open her mouth when she saw what Emperor Cheng said, but she silently filled in what Emperor Cheng had left to say, "Poetry, calligraphy and painting all have the spirit in them, so those who have knowledge can see that people are poor. Shou Yao."

Emperor Cheng was able to see those two places in the memorial with more than a thousand characters.

"However... Uncle Yongning may be pretending to be like this." Emperor Cheng threw the memorial aside casually, "Why do you think the Chu family is so ignorant?"

Li Fu has been serving Emperor Cheng for more than ten years, and he knew that Emperor Cheng didn't want someone to answer at this time, and he just pretended that he didn't hear it.

"Forget it, we'll find out when people come back." Emperor Cheng said with a smile, but there was a bit of sternness in his eyes.

However, Emperor Cheng hadn't waited for anyone, and he waited for the letter from the post station. Whether it was a memorial to Emperor Cheng or Shen Jin's family letter to King Rui, they were all sent to Emperor Cheng. After reading it, he rubbed his brows, "Li Fu asked King Rui to come in."

"Yes." Li Fu was also very curious about what Mrs. Yongningbo wrote, and Emperor Cheng couldn't bear to read it.

King Rui happened to be greeting the Empress Dowager in the palace, so he soon arrived at the imperial study. Emperor Cheng directly gave the letter written by Shen Jin to King Rui, without any guilt at reading his brother's family letter. I am guarding the border towns to deter foreign races, I am very concerned about Uncle Yongning's health, the seven sons of the late emperor, and you and I are the only ones left."

"I'm terrified." King Rui quickly knelt down and bowed his head.

"Hurry up, why don't you and my brother see each other." Seeing King Rui's appearance, Emperor Cheng was satisfied in his heart, and said, "Your daughter is just like my daughter. Jiangnan just paid tribute to a batch of brocades. Li Fu gave half to King Rui to take back."

"Thank you for the reward, Brother Huang." King Rui said respectfully before getting up.

After King Rui left the palace, he sat in the carriage and read Shen Jin's letter. After reading it, he rubbed his eyebrows. He still put away all the letters Shen Jin wrote to Princess Rui and Concubine Chen, and read Shen Jin's letter. It was given to him, very simple and clear content, greeting the body, and saying that everything is fine in the border town, to reassure King Rui, and also said that he found a treasured knife to give to King Rui, there is no other content.

After returning to Prince Rui's mansion, King Rui took the letter to Princess Rui's yard. It happened that Concubine Chen was also talking with Princess Rui. After the two of them saluted, King Rui took out the letter and said, "The third girl has a letter. , and sent it directly with the brochure for the emperor."

"Really?" Princess Rui accepted the letter with a smile on her face.

Concubine Chen's eyes were full of joy, but she didn't dare to open her mouth. Princess Rui took Concubine Chen's hand and took the initiative to hand over the letter Shen Jin wrote to her, and the two of them looked at it like no one else was there.

King Rui helplessly held the tea and drank it.

"Girl Jin is really..." Princess Rui laughed when she read the letter. Shen Jin wrote a full dozen pages of the letter to the two of them, and it took two cups of tea to finish it. Concubine Chen also finished reading, so she pulled her and said, "Look, this is still complaining about those two envoys, and the next sentence starts to talk about stewed pork in the border city, but..." Princess Rui didn't say anything more. What good food can’t be eaten, how can you be happy because you can eat stewed meat? Thinking about the letter Shen Jin sent for help some time ago, Princess Rui was in a panic. After all, it was a child who had been in pain for several years, but the letter Concubine Chen didn't know, only King Rui and Princess Rui knew about it in the entire mansion.

Concubine Chen was a little worried, "This girl is not disliked by the princess. After she got there, her temper became wild, and she even complained about the two envoys." As if she was afraid that King Rui would blame her, she slowly explained, "She is also a stingy person. Yes, it's better to wait for things to come back and take me... "

"Okay." Princess Rui also read the gift list, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Jin, she interrupted Concubine Chen and said with a smile, "Girl Jin just arrived in the border town, and everyone around her was driven back, I'm afraid I have spent a lot of thought on these things, my lord, I haven't seen the treasured sword that Girl Jin mentioned before, let me have a look at the things when they come back."
