And Shen Jin was sitting in the carriage at this time, arguing with Chu Xiuming about eating out, and Shen Jin felt that the matter in Ruiwang's mansion had been settled, so he didn't need to think about it, "That time was really Because I used a bowl of ice when I came back and I got a stomachache."
Chu Xiuming raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Jin. Shen Jin hummed weakly and said, "It's not that eating outside is not clean."
"En." Chu Xiuming poured a cup of tea and asked, "Are you thirsty?"
"Thirsty." Shen Jin said coquettishly.
Chu Xiuming didn't pass the teacup over, but fed Shen Jin with it. After Shen Jin stopped drinking, he finished the rest. Shen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and said with a little disappointment, "Today is all I didn't see my mother."
"It's okay." Chu Xiuming said, "Now that we're close, we can go anytime."
Shen Jin nodded and didn't say anything else, thinking about Shen Zi, Shen Jing and Shen Rong today. Shen Rong is fine, but Shen Zi and Shen Jing are a little... different from usual, especially Shen Jing. , although Shen Jing always looks like a talented woman in front of King Rui, but at least she can hold it, and she is a little out of order today? The feeling of going too far is not as good as the feeling of high-mindedness and artificiality in the past, so delicate and soft always feels a bit contrary.
Moreover, Shen Jing was very hostile to her, Shen Jin frowned, but it turned out that she was not, could it be jealousy? Jealous of her marrying well, and Yongning Bo is not as rumored? But if you really want to count it, Mrs. Yongningbo can't be Shen Jing, but Shen Zi? Thinking of what the elder sister revealed intentionally or unintentionally about the eldest son of the Zheng family, Shen Jin felt that it was Shen Zi who should really feel lost and sad, but who made it so that she was the one who cried and complained not to marry.
Shen Jin doesn't feel the slightest bit of guilt towards Shen Zi. She had to endure hardships and escaped death in the border town to get today's happiness. It has nothing to do with Shen Zi. The border town is going to make a fuss about returning to Beijing or simply "died of illness".
But this has nothing to do with Shen Jing, Shen Jin has to admit that Princess Rui can see through a man's mind but doesn't bother to do it, Concubine Xu is very accurate, otherwise she can't gain a foothold in Prince Rui's mansion just by her appearance, of course There is also the reason for Princess Rui's connivance.
Of the three daughters of Concubine Xu, Shen Zi is the most outstanding in appearance, even in the entire capital, so it doesn't matter if she has a bit of arrogance, because her delicate appearance makes men feel gorgeous. If the scorching sun is like the sun, but Shen Jing and Shen Rong are worse, so Concubine Xu asked Shen Jing to be cultivated in the direction of being noble and talented, while Shen Rong is charming and naive with a kind of cuteness. If it wasn't for Concubine Xu He did too much, wanted to suppress Shen Qi, angered Concubine Rui, and made her intervene, maybe it really made Concubine Xu succeed.
Shen Jing is talented, but she also has a high self-esteem. She used to look down on Shen Jin, even concubine Chen, except for sometimes helping Shen Zi to run Shen Jin, but she didn't bother to embarrass her. Who knows today? But after changing her previous personality, Shen Jin glanced at Chu Xiuming's face, who said beauty is a disaster? Even if it's not a concubine, it's a disaster, okay? I don't know how Concubine Xu will end up after she finds out.
Chu Xiuming naturally noticed his wife's gaze, with questioning eyes, Shen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's finger and bit it lightly, and said, "I think it's not good to live with too many people."
"En?" Shen Jin's strength was neither painful nor itchy to Chu Xiuming, so he didn't care, but he was looking forward to what his little lady would say.
Shen Jin got into Chu Xiuming's arms and whispered, "Look, there are so many women in my father's backyard, but how many of them really treat him well?" Princess Rui put herself in the position of princess, and It's not Rui Wang's wife. Shen Jin didn't know what kind of life Princess Rui expected to live when she first married Rui Wang, but she didn't think it would be like this now. No matter how smart she is, she also wants someone who can rely on each other, instead of supporting everything alone like she is now, "I think the concubine mother is very tired."
Chu Xiuming simply hugged Shen Jin in his arms and let her sit on his lap. Shen Jin's weight was not much to Chu Xiuming, "En."
"My mother... I don't think she likes my father." Shen Jin whispered, "My mother is beautiful."
"En." Chu Xiuming actually understands what Shen Jin means, and knows what Shen Jin wants to say, but there are some things he just wants to hear from Shen Jin. In fact, sometimes Chu Xiuming feels that he can't see through Shen Jin, as if he doesn't care Life can be lived happily, sometimes Chu Xiuming also thinks, what would happen if Shen Jin didn't marry him? Wouldn't it be happier to marry a simpler person
Shen Jin thought that Chu Xiuming didn't believe it, so he turned his head and brought his face closer, "I look like my mother."
Chu Xiuming chuckled, "Aren't you saying you're beautiful?"
Shen Jin smiled and rolled his eyes, "Yes."
Chu Xiuming's eyes flickered, so what if she would be happier marrying a simple person, Shen Jin? She is his wife, and she can only be his wife, "Yes, I also think my wife is outstanding in beauty, no one else can compare to her."
Shen Jin nodded without shyness, suddenly thought of what he wanted to say, grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and took another bite, "It's all your fault, I almost forgot what I wanted to say."
"Tell me, I'll listen." Chu Xiuming was not angry, he held Shen Jin's hand behind his back, and his hand was just able to wrap Shen Jin's hand inside.
"I don't know what Concubine Xu said, but she also has her own thoughts." Shen Jin said, "After all, she has a son and a daughter."
"En." Chu Xiuming thought of the three of Shen Zi, how could they be better than his little lady, King Rui's eyes were really bad, he mistook dead fish for pearls, and left the real treasure alone, but that's okay, if it was replaced by That Shen Zi married? Can't bear it at all.
Shen Jin said, "Mother actually doesn't like life in the palace. Mother...doesn't want to give birth to the father and the king." Concubine Chen said this herself. At the beginning, Shen Jin envied that Shen Zi had younger sisters, and their sisters were together every day. , I went to ask my mother, and my mother didn't hide anything, she just said that it is enough to have Jinniang's child in this life." The mother said that it is a kind of happiness to give birth to a loved one, and it is a responsibility to give birth to a husband. It is a blessing for her to have one child in one concubine's room."
Chu Xiuming responded. He felt that his mother-in-law was a transparent person, and it was such a person who could raise Shen Jin's contented and happy character.
Shen Jin was not sad, and her tone was very calm, leaning against Chu Xiuming's arms, shaking her little feet, the pair of colorful butterflies embroidered on the shoes seemed to be flying, "The rest don't even have titles, yes How much sincerity can the father have?"
These words seem to be asking Chu Xiuming, but more like asking herself.
Chu Xiuming felt that Shen Jin's hand was a little cold, and he gripped it a little tighter.
Shen Jin looked down at the hands of the two people, and said, "So it's not that there are more people, the relationship will be more, but the more people, the weaker the relationship, so Husband, can we be the only ones at home?"
When it came to the end, he seemed embarrassed and uncertain, his voice trembled a little, he was clearly afraid, but he was unwilling to give up and admit defeat.
"Okay." Chu Xiuming's heart softened, and he was no longer willing to tease Shen Jin, "It's just us, there will never be anyone else."
Shen Jin didn't react for a while, she didn't expect Chu Xiuming to agree to her so easily, but she got up from Chu Xiuming's arms, then sat on Chu Xiuming's lap facing each other, with her arms around his neck, her forehead pressed against Rubbing his forehead, "Well, I want to give birth to my husband."
Chu Xiuming's eyes were full of smiles, the shy little lady of his family was so reserved even in her confession, "En."
In fact, just after dinner in Prince Rui's Mansion, Shen Qi asked Shen Jin if Shen Zi would scratch her heart and lungs when she went back. Shen Jin knew what Shen Qi meant, but she pretended not to understand anything, because this matter involved When it came to Chu Xiuming, Shen Zi was unwilling to marry Chu Xiuming, and finally chose Zheng Jiaqu. It was not a secret in Prince Rui's mansion. Although it was Shen Zi who suffered in the end, it was related to Chu Xiuming's face, so Shen Jin can't understand.
Shen Qi is not disgusting at all, but living in the Yongle Hou Mansion is a bit depressing, so when she returns home, with the support of her father, mother and two younger brothers, she will do whatever she wants. Only Concubine Chen is the only one, but Concubine Chen has no status and can't speak.
But thinking of Shen Qi's original kindness to her, Wei Wei lowered his eyes and whispered, "I hate eldest brother-in-law."
"En?" Chu Xiuming patted Shen Jin's back lightly and said, "Got it."
Shen Jin felt that after the complaint was over, Chu Xiuming would naturally help her vent her anger, so she didn't care.
After arriving at Yongningbo Mansion, Shen Jin got off Chu Xiuming's body. Chu Xiuming got out of the carriage first, and reached out to hug Shen Jin without using a horse stool. He took her hand and walked inside. Shen Jin's wish came true. Satisfied, Chu Xiuming agreed to help the eldest sister vent her anger. At this time, she was very happy and said, "By the way, why did the father ask you to go to the next competition?"
"Heh." Chu Xiuming laughed lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in it.
"I don't think the second brother-in-law should be so stupid, did you do something wrong?" Shen Jin asked after hearing the meaning of Chu Xiuming's laughter.
Chu Xiuming didn't admit it or deny it, but some people with high self-esteem, if it wasn't for his wife, he wouldn't bother to spend all this effort. Even if his wife is a little stupid, he can't tolerate others pointing fingers. King Rui is his father so what? Still not working.
Shen Jin didn't care if he didn't get an answer, "Why aren't they injured?"
Chu Xiuming stopped and looked at Shen Jin, and said, "That's your father and brother-in-law, so naturally they can't be hurt." It's not good to be seen. Besides, whoever said that when you clean up someone, you must see the injury on the surface, isn't it? Do you leave someone with a handle
Shen Jin blinked, with a puzzled look on his face, Chu Xiuming raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "Don't ask any more questions."
"I always feel that if you bully them, they might still remember you." Shen Jin wrinkled her nose and muttered in a low voice.
Chu Xiuming heard it, and it turned out that his wife was smarter.
Mammy Zhao was already waiting in the mansion, and made Chu Xiuming hangover soup. Anping went to pack the things that Princess Rui sent today, and those that should be registered for storage. Mammy Zhao and An Ning waited on Shen Jin to change into regular clothes "Madam, are you having fun in the Palace?"
"En." Shen Jin sat in front of the dressing table in a good mood, asked Nanny Zhao to take off all her headgear, loosely rolled it up and tied it with a simple ribbon, and then took off the bracelet on her wrist, Said, "Mother and concubine specially asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes I like, and the elder sister said a lot of sweet words to me." She turned her head and smiled at Zhao Momo, "I am very happy, but it is a pity that I did not see my mother, but my husband said Now that we are close, we can go there anytime.”
From Shen Jin's mouth, Zhao Mama thought everyone was a good person, even if they were bullied, she would not feel it, so she took a look at An Ning. Although she believed that the general would protect his wife, there were some places where the general was not around. It's convenient, she will definitely go with her, so that Madam won't be wronged in a place where neither the general nor she can see.
But she never thought that Shen Jin's face suddenly darkened and said, "But the fourth sister is very annoying." She has never fought for anything, even if it is hers in the palace, if Shen Zi and the others want it, she will give it up. But the husband can't, the husband has already promised that she will be alone in this life, then she will definitely not let him out, even if that person is her sister.
"En?" Zhao Nanny didn't expect to hear from his wife who she hated. She thought that the fourth younger sister really provoked Shen Jin and made Shen Jin unhappy. Zhao Nanny's face changed, and her eyes stared sharply. An Ning glanced at her and said, "But did she bully Madam?" Sure enough, someone bullied Madam without her following, it was simply too much.
"But it's okay." Shen Jin quickly recovered her smile, changed her shoes, and felt a lot lighter when she stood up, "My husband said that we don't need to see each other in the future, by the way, my husband and I are going to my eldest sister tomorrow Then, help me prepare a gift for Yong Lehou and her wife."
"Yes." Zhao mama said respectfully, removing the look from her eyes.
Shen Jin walked out with a smile and asked, "Have you prepared some snacks for me? I don't think the pastries made by the palace are to my liking."
Nanny Zhao walked out behind Shen Jin, An Ning packed up the clothes that Shen Jin had worn and handed them to the little girl beside her, and packed up the jewelry before leaving the house.
"The old slave is counting the time, thinking that the general and his wife will be back soon." Zhao Momo said with a smile, "It just happens to be out at this time."
Shen Jin nodded, and walked faster involuntarily. When he arrived in the hall, he saw that Chu Xiuming had already bathed and changed his clothes, and was talking to the guards in the mansion. When he saw Shen Jin coming, he nodded at the guards. He nodded, gave a few more instructions, and let people go down.
Zhao Momo went to the kitchen to fetch things in person, An Ning packed up her things and came out to serve again, but Shen Jin saw it and said, "An Ning, you and An Ping should go rest, we have been standing all day." In Rui Wang's mansion, An Ning and An Ning never left Shen Jin's side, they were still standing.
An Ning smiled and said, "Madam is fine."
"Then you and Nanny Zhao should sit down." Shen Jin thought for a while and said.
Seeing that the general didn't speak, An Ning blessed Fushen to help Mammy Zhao set up some tea and fruit, then went to move the small round pier, and sat down by herself after Mammy Zhao sat down.
Mother Zhao ordered the kitchen to make cakes according to Shen Jin's taste, with only a little sugar in them and more honey for seasoning. Some cakes also added milk and mint, which was extra refreshing. Chu Xiuming poured a cup of scented tea for Shen Jin , and then asked, "Did you eat well in the palace?"
"I just think the taste at home is better." Shen Jin said with a smile.
Chu Xiuming nodded, and asked directly, "Did you get embarrassed when you were in the backyard?"
Shen Jin shook his head, took a small sip of scented tea, "You and Nanny Zhao just like to worry, so I won't be bullied. Besides, Prince Rui's Mansion is also my natal family, and it's not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den."
Chu Xiuming narrowed his eyes and said, "Silly girl, I'm afraid you won't know if you are being bullied."
"No way." Shen Jin retorted, "I have a big sister protecting me."
Chu Xiuming's eyes flickered, he was afraid that he was still being bullied, so why not come to protect him and say something, but seeing that Shen Jin didn't want to say it, he didn't ask any more questions, and after seeing that she spent a few dollars, he moved the plate to the Said on the side, "Go and play with the little boy."
"Okay." Shen Jin also remembered that he hadn't seen the little one today, so he got up with a smile and said, "I miss it too."
Who knew that before she left the house, she saw Butler Zhao bringing his apprentices over, Shen Jin smiled and said, "Butler Zhao, are you looking for the general?"
"No, I'm here to find my wife." Butler Zhao said with a serious face.
Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming and Zhao Butler with doubts in his eyes, and sat back on his seat again, "Looking for me?"
Steward Zhao took the account book from his apprentice, "Could it be that Madam forgot how many stewards are still in charge of the mansion?"
Really forgot, Shen Jin left the matter behind after finishing the matter, "Oh."
Housekeeper Zhao didn't even think about embarrassing Shen Jin, so he presented the account book with both hands and said, "I have re-checked all the account books, and there are discrepancies..."
While listening, Shen Jin flipped through the account books that Butler Zhao had sorted out, and looked at Chu Xiuming distractedly, and when Butler Zhao stopped, he said, "Husband, you can go to work first, I think I still have to do it here." Last time."
Chu Xiuming nodded and said, "I'm going to the study."
Shen Jin complied, and continued to reconcile the account according to what Butler Zhao said. Zhao Mama frowned as she listened to it, An Ning didn't dare to sit any longer, and stood behind Shen Jin. An Ping had already registered everything. , came over to see such a situation at this time, and stood silently aside.
Although Zhao Mama knew that the people in Yongningbo's Mansion in the capital were greedy for a lot of money, she didn't expect so much, and she was a little too courageous.
Shen Jin nodded from time to time, and when Steward Zhao finished speaking, Mother Zhao asked, "What's Madam's plan?"
"What does Mammy think?" Shen Jin asked.
Zhao Momo said in a deep voice, "Let them return the money and things. If the things are not returned, they can be cashed."
Butler Zhao stood aside after finishing speaking and stopped talking. Mother Zhao knew that there must be spies working among these stewards, and said, "Send and invite a few sons and daughters of the stewards to visit the mansion, and inform the family members. If the things are still on, you can take them home.”
"What about the ones that haven't been uploaded yet?" Shen Jin asked.
Zhao Nanny said, "Chasing the house."
Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "It's a bit troublesome. There are only so many people in the mansion, and there are not enough manpower. Just send people and evidence to the government."
Mother Zhao looked at Shen Jin in a daze, Shen Jin felt that she had a good idea, "Every manager should tell the government how much money he has corrupted, and let them help to recover it." Thinking of what Princess Rui said, wanting someone Work must be beneficial to others, "I will take one-tenth of the amount recovered and give it to them as hard work."
Manager Zhao's eyes lit up and he glanced at Shen Jin. Shen Jin's method was simple and direct. Although Zhao Mama's method was appropriate, it would inevitably make people who didn't know that the house was too much, and Shen Jin handed over everything , the evidence is conclusive, and the government officials helped clean up those people without any effort.
These stewards took the money and things, and they don’t know how much they spent, how much they used and how much they left over. If they really want to make them pay back without mercy, they may have to sell their property. Naturally, the Yongningbo Mansion can do this. Do it, but what will people outside think? They don't think that these people are greedy for the things of the Yongningbo Mansion, and it is only natural for them to hand them over. They only think that the Yongningbo Mansion bullies others, and people are more sympathetic to the weak. Naturally, this wicked Yongningbo Mansion is unwilling, but not They feel disgusted if they keep it.
And Shen Jin handed over the matter to the government, how to recover it is the government's business, and there is no need to be afraid that the government will not work hard. Excited? Naturally, they will work hard to help collect them. After all, the more you hand in, the more you will share. You are not afraid of these people secretly hiding, because it is the interests of everyone who are harmed, and colleagues and others will naturally watch.
"Madam is a good means." Manager Zhao sincerely praised.
Shen Jin glanced at Butler Zhao with some doubts, accepted the compliment unceremoniously and nodded, "It seems that Butler Zhao also agrees, so let's do it this way."
"Yes." Butler Zhao said.
Mother Zhao also thought of this, and sighed in her heart that she had been serving... for a long time, and some things were indeed not as straightforward as Shen Jin thought. The purpose must also be roundabout.
Zhao Guanshi asked, "Madam, can you tell me, why did you think of sending it to the government?"
Shen Jin looked at Manager Zhao inexplicably and said, "First of all, the mansion in the mansion is not enough. According to Mother Zhao's method, at least seven or eight people should be allocated. If there are so many fewer people to serve, it will affect the normal life of the mansion. Secondly, the mother and concubine said that the difficult things should be handed over to the government, and I, as the princess, should also take care of the government."
Manager Zhao looked carefully for a long time, and found that Shen Jin was serious, she really thought so! Zhao Guanshi just felt that it was hard to accept in his heart. He thought of so many reasons, as long as Shen Jin could say anything, Zhao Guanshi also felt that it was acceptable, but Shen Jin was just because there were not enough people around him to serve him, and she was the princess who could bully others. Do you think you should leave things to the government
I don't know why Zhao Guanshi only thought of one sentence, could it be that God loves fools
