Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Jin got up without being urged by Zhao Momo. The gifts for Princess Rui were all prepared in advance. After breakfast, Shen Jin brought Anping and Anning and Chu Xiuming. Went to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Chu Xiuming didn't ride a horse anymore today, but sat in the carriage with Shen Jin. Seeing that Shen Jin was interested in the yelling outside, he said, "In a few days, we will walk around the capital together."
"Is it possible?" Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming expectantly, no matter whether it was before or after marriage, women in the capital seldom come out to walk on the streets.
Chu Xiuming curled his lips into a smile, "What's so difficult?"
Shen Jin played with Chu Xiuming's fingers contentedly, "That's right, anyway, we'll go to the border town when the time comes." Don't care about those who have or don't have reputations.
Chu Xiuming didn't say anything else. When the barbarians were besieging the city, Shen Jin worked with the people in the city, and his fingers were cracked and rough. Later, after mother Zhao took care of him, he has improved a lot, but it is not as good as in the capital. That's it.
Shen Jin suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have told Chu Xiuming about the two brothers-in-law, so he hurriedly said, "My eldest sister is married to Prince Yongle Hou, and my second sister is married to the eldest son of the Zheng family."
Chu Xiuming took a look at Shen Jin. If he was really waiting for Shen Jin, his eyes would be darkened. Looking at Chu Xiuming's eyes, Shen Jin rarely felt guilty, and said with a lack of confidence, "I forgot!"
"I remember that the ham and bacon in their mansion tastes very good, and I ordered a lot." Chu Xiuming said lightly.
Shen Jin blushed, and took out a small oiled paper bag from her sleeve. When she opened it, she saw a cake the size of a fingernail inside. She took a piece and stuffed it into Chu Xiuming's mouth, "Nurse Zhao made it for me. I eat it more delicious than the one in the palace."
Chu Xiuming reached out and pinched Shen Jin's earlobe, and didn't mention what happened just now, but said, "That's natural."
Shen Jin felt that Chu Xiuming's tone was too natural, moved his mouth, swallowed the gold silk roll in his mouth, took another piece and ate it, as if he was not surprised at all that Zhao Nanny would be the imperial point in the palace, and even It's pretty sure that Mother Zhao will do better, could it be... it shouldn't be.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I couldn’t figure it out, so I stopped thinking about it. When I went to touch the dim sum again, I found that it was empty. I looked down and saw that it was empty. I looked at Chu Xiuming in surprise and looked down again. Looking at the oil paper, could it be that she just finished eating the pastry unknowingly
Chu Xiuming took a sip of tea, suppressed the sweet smell in his mouth, and asked, "Madam, is there anything embarrassing?"
Shen Jin glanced at Chu Xiuming suspiciously, then looked down at the oil paper, then put the oil paper balls aside and said, "No, my husband, do you think Mother Zhao will still be willing to make this pastry?"
"The lady will find out after asking the nanny." Chu Xiuming smiled gently.
Shen Jin wanted to eat it again, but knew that the pastry was extraordinarily hard to make, and it needed to be drawn and rolled up to make it taste better, so she said, "Let's wait." After all, she couldn't bear to let Zhao Mama work hard, and was tired for a golden roll. It's not good for Zhao mama, after all, Jasper Cake and Butterfly Cake are also good.
Because there were a lot of presents in the back, the walk was a bit slow. When we arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion, the Prince of Yongle and his wife had already arrived. Shen Jin was overjoyed and walked inside with Chu Xiuming.
King Rui and Princess Rui originally kept their daughter and son-in-law to talk, but when they heard the message, they laughed and said, "It's true that whoever you say will come."
Shen Qi was wearing a water-red gauze skirt today, she stood up directly and said, "I'm going to meet Miss Jin, I haven't seen you for so long and I don't know if she's getting fat or thin."
Yongle Hou Shizi was not confused, he said with a smile, "I will go with my wife."
"Sit down." Princess Rui said, "It is enough for Xuan'er and Xi'er to go."
Shen Xuan and Shen Xi stood up and said, "Yes, mother may not have seen eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law for a long time, so you should spend more time talking with mother."
Shen Qi's eyes flickered and he didn't say anything, "Let's go."
After Shen Xuan and Shen Xi saluted King Rui, they went out to pick up Yongning Bo and his wife.
Princess Rui looked at Yongle Hou Shizi and said suddenly, "I heard from Qi'er that one of Shizi's concubines is pregnant, and Qi'er is also ignorant. This is Shizi's first child, how can the biological mother be a concubine?" ?”
Yongle Hou Shizi's heart tightened, it was nothing to hear these words suddenly, but when the concubine's first child came out, he knew that this was the dissatisfaction of Prince Rui's mansion, if it wasn't for that day... Shen Qi gave birth to Yongle Hou Shizi eldest son.
"I just want to discuss with the concubine, when the child is born, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, they will be hugged by the concubine's side." The prince of Yongle Hou said warmly, "The concubine is a virtuous concubine, and the children raised are naturally the best."
Shen Qi's hands froze, she looked at her mother, if she had already given birth to her eldest son, she would naturally not mind raising another child from a concubine by her side, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, the boy will let the two brothers cultivate their relationship, In the future, she will be a helper for her son, and her daughter is just a dowry. The relationship between in-laws is also very useful, but the problem is that she has no children by her side now.
Princess Rui narrowed her eyes and looked at Prince Yongle. Before she could speak, she heard chatter and laughter outside. Shen Xuan and Shen Xi had already picked up Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin and came in.
Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin saluted King Rui and Princess Rui first, Shen Qi pulled Shen Jin and sat beside Princess Rui, and Chu Xiuming sat on the seat above Prince Yongle, who was under the attack of King Rui.
"Sister, I miss you." Shen Jin whispered.
Seeing her sister's appearance, Shen Qi felt a lot of comfort in her heart. Although she got the letter and knew that she was safe, but she didn't see anyone after all. Among the few sisters, Shen Qi had a better relationship with Shen Jin, and said, " Then come to my house tomorrow, I got a few fresh fishes, and I specially set up a pond to raise them."
"Okay." Shen Jin was planning to go to Shen Qi's side, and said with a smile, "It's still big sister who loves me."
Seeing the two sisters talking, Princess Rui didn't mention anything anymore. She just glanced at Shen Xuan, and Shen Xuan suddenly asked, "What did the father and mother say to the elder sister and elder brother-in-law just now? Are we interrupting?"
King Rui saw that Chu Xiuming was handsome and talented, and he was very respectful and proud of him. He heard his son's question after talking to Chu Xiuming, and said indifferently, "Your eldest brother-in-law's concubine is pregnant, and she wants to take the child away." Write it down under your eldest sister's name."
As soon as these words came out, even the youngest Shen Xi felt something was wrong, and looked at Princess Rui for a moment, but Princess Rui didn't speak, but Shen Jin said hesitantly, "Is the child's biological mother not in good health? "
Prince Yongle Hou's complexion changed, and the pregnant concubine's wife, Prince Yongle Hou's cousin, the person in his heart, asked in a deep voice, "Why did the third sister say such a thing?"
"Aren't you?" It was Shen Xi who spoke, who also looked at Yongle Hou Shizi, and asked, "Could it be that brother-in-law, are you going to leave your mother and keep your son?"
Shen Jin was frightened, and looked at Yongle Hou Shizi with a face of horror, "Having a baby is a happy event, this...isn't so good." Later, when he thought that it was someone else's business, he was inevitably a little weak.
Shen Xi only felt that his heart was full of joy, "I think what the third sister said is extremely true, even if the concubine's room is not liked by the elder brother-in-law, after all, she will bear children for you..." He shook his head as he spoke.
Yongle Hou Shizi was stunned. How could he not like that concubine's room? If he didn't like it, how could he plan for her like this, and the children raised by the main room would be mentioned when the time comes.
King Rui also frowned, and said, "Three girls, don't talk nonsense." It was Shen Jin and Shen Xi who were running against the prince of Yongle. King Rui was reluctant to mention his son, so he named his daughter.
Chu Xiuming looked at King Rui when he heard the words, his calm eyes made King Rui feel cold for some reason, and Princess Rui finally said, "My lord's words are wrong, girl Jin is only thinking about the palace and the Yongle Hou's mansion, why not?" Turned into nonsense?"
King Rui was a little embarrassed, he hadn't figured it out for a while, but Princess Rui looked at His Royal Highness Yongle again, and said, "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness hasn't asked Mrs. Yongle Hou about today's matter, why don't you ask after you return home, if Yongle Mrs. Hou also means the same thing, so for the sake of the family's heirs, I will accept my daughter's bad name."
Shen Qi understood it as soon as Shen Jin opened his mouth. When the main wife had no children, raising the concubine's children by her side, there were only two or three situations. The biological mother is gone, and the last one is that the husband has an accident.
And Shen Qi's situation is different from these three, it's just that Yongle Hou Shizi loves the concubine's room, and the concubine's room has bad intentions and plots to misbehave. It would be better if she gave birth to a daughter, but what about a boy? The head of the residence is kept by the side of the main family again, and when the son of Yongle Hou inherits the title, who will be the son of the son? It's better for Shen Qi not to have a son, but if he has a son, according to Yongle Hou's eccentricity, there may be another twists and turns.
Prince Rui of Yongle was able to sit in this position. Among them, Prince Rui's House made great efforts. The last time Shen Qi gave birth, it was a little unclear. Princess Rui just didn't pursue it. After all, the child is gone, and it hurts the relationship The gains outweigh the losses, but the Yongle Hou Mansion owes the Rui Prince's Mansion, and as expected, after Shen Qi raised her health, Mrs. Yongle Hou handed over the housekeeping to her.
What Shen Jin said was right on point. Why did the child be recorded under the name of the wife when the wife had no children? The problem didn't lie with Shen Qi, and it couldn't be with Shizi, it was naturally because the child's biological mother was not in good health.
Chu Xiuming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "A gentleman should cultivate himself and cultivate his character, so that everything can be prosperous in the house. Since the son has married a wife, the affairs of the rear house should be left to his wife."
The implication is that your dignified son actually took care of the affairs of the back house, "Father-in-law, don't be annoyed, the son is confused for a while, madam and elder sister are close, so it is inevitable that I said a few more words, and I will talk to you when I get home." She elaborated."
Shen Jin is now the daughter-in-law of my Chu family. Even if I say something wrong, my husband is still there. You can shut up even though you are a father-in-law.
Chu Xiuming's elegant words seemed to blame Shen Jin, but the meaning in his words was simple and clear.
A little smile flashed in Princess Rui's eyes, "Okay, I'll take the two maids to the back to talk about something private, you guys, let's have a good chat."
