After reading the letter, Shen Jin let Zhao Momo and the others come in, and brought some boxes and things, the most important ones were Princess Rui's green rice and the clothes made by Concubine Chen.
The waiters moved out after moving their things into the house, and there were only two waiters left in the house, Nanny Zhao and Anping.
"Mother Zhao, which one belongs to mother?" Shen Jin asked looking at a pile of things, big and small.
Zhao Nanny found the box with the signature of Concubine Chen, and Shen Jin went over to open it.
What the mother and daughter Lianxin said is right. Concubine Chen does not have the size of Shen Jin, but the summer clothes she makes fit just right. Not only that, she also makes a lot of autumn and winter clothes, but those are all bigger than summer clothes. No matter how tall the brocade grows, it can be worn after modification next year.
Moreover, what Concubine Chen made were not the styles that are popular in the capital, but more like those that are popular in border towns, but the styles should be more beautiful and novel, but I don't know how Concubine Chen knew.
After Shen Jin read it, Anping asked Anping to put it away carefully. The box of Bigen rice was also brought in with a label on it. Shen Jin tore it open and opened the box. The rice was packed in a bag, and Shen Jin He untied his pocket and grabbed a handful from it, "I'll eat this tonight."
Zhao Nanny smiled and said, "The old servant is going to give orders to the kitchen."
Shen Jin nodded, then rolled up his sleeves directly, revealing his white and tender arms. In fact, Shen Jin didn't look fat, and had a feeling of slenderness, but this was just a look. Chu Xiuming hugged Shen Jin So it is very clear that Shen Jin's body is actually soft and fleshy.
Her forearm is very beautiful, not the kind of skinny and skinny, but a kind of round and jade-like beauty. Shen Jin inserted his hand into the rice bag, stirred for a long time, and finally looked at Chu Xiuming with a confused face, "Mother Concubine and Am I kidding?"
Chu Xiuming raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Jin, Shen Jin obediently gave up his seat, Chu Xiuming rolled up his sleeves, reached in, and came out with a wooden box after a while, and then handed the wooden box to Shen Jin , I went to the copper basin next to me to wash my hands, "underneath."
Although she only said three words, Shen Jin heard the meaning from Chu Xiuming's eyes and words. It's not that she didn't have it, but that her arms were too short and she couldn't find it!
Snorting angrily, Shen Jin put the wooden box on the dressing table beside it. There was a small lock on it, "Where's the key?"
Chu Xiuming had already wiped his hands dry. Wen Yan looked at Shen Jin, "Ask me?"
"Yes." Shen Jin said naturally.
Chu Xiuming thought for a while and asked, "Find out the box of jewelry that Princess Rui gave you." This was said to Zhao Mama, and he walked to Shen Jin's side to look at the exquisite little lock, the little lock There is also a plum blossom on it.
Shen Jin also leaned over to have a look, and stretched out his hand to tug twice. The lock looked small but was very strong.
Nanny Zhao quickly found the box of jewelry. Seeing that Shen Jin was still studying the small lock, Chu Xiuming opened the jewelry box by himself. It was a three-layer jewelry box with a small drawer underneath.
Chu Xiuming looked around carefully, found a pair of plum blossom-shaped earrings, and handed them to Shen Jin. Shen Jin took it and tried it for a while, then opened the lock. There was a stack of silver tickets in the wooden box. There were whole pieces and odd ones, and Shen Jin took them out and roughly saw that they were worth half a million taels, while her dowry was calculated to be less than one hundred thousand taels.
Shen Jin was a little stunned, then looked at Chu Xiuming and then at the bank note, "Is this for me?"
Chu Xiuming did not expect Princess Rui to be so generous. Although he saw some speculations in the letter, he did not confirm Princess Rui's attitude. I am afraid that there is not so much money in Prince Rui's mansion now. Although King Rui is rich, he has a lot of things. They cannot be moved, just like Zhuangzi bestowed by the emperor, King Rui can only collect rent every year, but has no right to sell them.
As for the rewards in the palace, there will be no direct rewards of silver, and Chu Xiuming even suspected that King Rui didn't know about the money.
It's really a pity for a woman like Princess Rui to marry King Rui.
Shen Jin touched the silver ticket, repacked it in the wooden box, then closed it and gave it to Chu Xiuming along with the lock and key, and said, "Give it to me, you have accepted the money from my mother and concubine, so please treat me well. "
Chu Xiuming also saw that the money was given to him by Princess Rui through Shen Jin's hand, he narrowed his eyes and accepted the box without saying anything.
Not only Concubine Rui, but also Concubine Chen prepared something for Chu Xiuming, but Concubine Rui was different, Concubine Chen was all for her daughter, and it was enough to think that Chu Xiuming could treat her better.
In the evening, Shen Jin didn't eat the seafood she wanted, because these things need to be prepared in advance, after all, they are some dry goods, but the kitchen has made other things, anyway, those things will be eaten sooner or later, Shen Jin just doesn't care. .
Because it was getting late and many things hadn't been packed, Shen Jin had time to distribute the leftovers. When everything was sorted out the next day, Shen Jin would divide the things.
Not only Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan have them, but also Madam Zhao, An Ping, and Manager Wang who has a broken right arm. I saw the servants in the mansion running around with things in their arms, and they kept bringing things from the Shen Jin Courtyard. to everyone.
Although Shen Jin is not lavish, she is not stingy either. Even Steward Wang got a piece of brocade from the imperial court, not to mention Anping and Mother Zhao. She also specially chose the color that Anping and the others liked as gifts.
After delivering the things, Shen Jin wanted to ask the second housekeeper for questioning, but only after the maid went to find out that the second housekeeper was called by Chu Xiuming, Anping smiled and said, "Madam wants to know about the affairs in Beijing, why don't you ask the maidservant?"
"You know?" Shen Jin looked at Anping in surprise.
An Ping laughed, "These servants have arranged for little maids and servants to pester those women and servants from the capital to talk, and they have inquired a lot of news."
Zhao Mama also knew about this matter, and there was also her instruction. I think the second housekeeper didn't say it because he couldn't say it, but because it was hard to say it in the open. Get all the news clearly.
Anping replied, "I heard that the second sister of the madam married the eldest son of the Zheng family. The eldest son of the Zheng family is very good at reading."
Shen Jin also knew that Shen Zi married into the Zheng family, and I heard that he was the most noble, and the eldest son of the Zheng family was proficient in all poems and songs, and many ladies of the family had his poetry collections in their collections.
But Shen Zi's knowledge... Shen Jin and the others studied together at the beginning, because the two are similar in age, and the content taught by the master is the same for both of them. Although Shen Zi is not a talented woman, she is not illiterate. , can be considered pretty good, but the Zheng family...
Shen Jin couldn't imagine how Shen Zi would recite poems against the young master of the Zheng family every day.
Anping said, "I heard that the young master of the Zheng family likes red sleeves to add fragrance the most..." He didn't finish his sentence, "Madam's second sister was married as a princess, so it's inevitable... I heard that she went to the palace crying Find the prince to decide."
Shen Jin asked, "Father has come forward?"
"That's not true." Anping said, "After staying for two or three days, the prince sent someone back to Zheng's house."
Shen Jin felt that according to King Rui's personality, Concubine Xu and Shen Zi started crying together, fearing that King Rui would help Shen Zi get ahead, could it be that Princess Rui blocked her? After thinking about it this way, it made sense, nodded and said, "What else?"
"I heard that a woman scolded the prince of Yongle when she was drunk." An Ping knew that Shen Jin was more worried about Shen Qi, so he inquired specifically, and said, "You said that the prince of Yongle looks good, but he is the most asshole. , even Mrs. Yonglehou is hiding traitors inside."
Shen Jin frowned and said, "It shouldn't be." She remembered that before she got married, the elder sister had a good life and had a very good relationship with her elder brother-in-law. Mrs. Yonglehou and Princess Rui knew each other, and they were also good friends.
An Ping said, "I just heard that Yongle Hou Shizi took a concubine not far from my wife's wedding. She is his childhood sweetheart's cousin."
Shen Jin frowned, "Eldest sister is not doing well? Did brother-in-law treat her badly?"
Looking at Shen Jin's appearance, Zhao Momo said, "Madam's thinking is too simple. It's not that Yongle Hou Shizi is not good, but maybe it's too good. That's why Madam's eldest sister is not doing well."
Shen Jin looked at Nanny Zhao, and Nanny Zhao said, "Anping, have you found out about that cousin's life experience?"
"I heard that this servant girl is the daughter of Mrs. Yonglehou's concubine sister. Something happened at home and she lost other relatives, so she went to Mrs. Yonglehou." Anping added.
Only then did Zhao Momo say, "I think the son will be gentle to others, but this gentleness is not only for the wife of the son, and although Mrs. Yonglehou and the princess are good friends, no matter how close they are, they can't compare with relatives, so it is inevitable that they are partial. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, the concubine's room is lonely and helpless, and the wife of Shizi is the daughter of King Rui, the family is dignified and she is the princess, and she is the concubine of the world's son. Compared with the two, it is inevitable to feel that the concubine's room is a little pitiful."
Shen Jin pursed her lips tightly, and said after a long time, "I see."
Although Zhao Nanny was sent by Chu Xiuming to serve Shen Jin, after getting along with Shen Jin for a long time, she became a little more sincere and said, "So Madam, sometimes you must not be soft-hearted. At that time, if the Concubine Shizi can be ruthless and send the money directly, there will be no more things."
Shen Jin asked, "Then Madam Hou and the prince won't be angry?"
Zhao Nanny asked back, "Which is better, others getting angry or making yourself angry?"
Shen Jin blinked, glanced at Zhao Momo, nodded and said, "I see, by the way, does your husband have a cousin?"
Zhao Nanny said with rare relief, "The general also has a distant cousin who came to join him when he was unaccompanied, and later..."
Shen Jin asked, "Have you left?"
"Yes." Mother Zhao said.
Shen Jin nodded, "Then don't mention her, is there anything else?"
Anping asked, "Aren't you worried, madam? That cousin girl is very beautiful."
"Because you all said it was at the beginning." Shen Jin felt that Zhao Nanny and Anping were a little baffled, "If there was really something at the beginning, it would not be my turn to marry, but who is your husband who really wants to marry, and can you wait until you get married? Besides, there is no such person in the mansion at all, presumably something happened, and it is the first time someone mentions it, I am afraid it is not a good thing, if this is the case, there is no need to worry."
Zhao Nanny thinks that Madam's kindness may be as wise as foolish.
Shen Jin looked at the shocked Nanny Zhao and Anping, and said with a little complacency and pride, "I'm very smart."
