It took half an hour to listen to what Manager Zhao said, and it took less than a cup of tea to finish it. After it was done, Shen Jin went to play with the little one. I don't know if it was because of the weather, or because the little friends Snow Rabbits didn't know what to do. After being brought here, Xiaobudian was not as active as when he was in the border town, but speaking of which, the Yongningbo mansion in the capital city was not as comfortable as the general's mansion in the border town.
Shen Jin sat on a small stool, brushed the little one with a brush, and turned over from time to time so that Shen Jin could take care of the whole body, Shen Jin touched the little one's hair and stretched out his hand and sighed, "You miss home too, don't you? "
The little one rubbed his head against Shen Jin's leg, and wheezed with his tongue out, Shen Jin pinched its ears, "We'll go back in a while, I'll take you to see my mother some other day, I'll Mother can make a big hydrangea, it's beautiful, and I will make one for you when the time comes."
Zhao Nanny sat aside, listening to Shen Jin talking to Xiao Budian, with a smile in her eyes.
"I don't like my fourth sister anymore." Shen Jin said while combing the little one, "She likes to grab things with me, every time in front of the father, the father said I was a sister and wanted to let her go." Sister, but the mother concubine always gives me better things later, and I won't let her see it."
The little one licked Shen Jin's fingers, turned over to expose his belly, Shen Jin rubbed it a few times, "But I won't let her this time, next time I will take you to the palace, if you see Si Sister, you have to scare her well."
Zhao Momo narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Ma'am, this old slave doesn't usually go out, so please tell me something interesting about the palace."
Shen Jin looked at Zhao Nanny, smiled and said, "Okay."
"Madam and the Great Princess have a good relationship?" Zhao Mama didn't immediately ask about the daughters of Concubine Xu, but started with Shen Jin's closest people.
Shen Jin nodded, continued to comb the little one's hair, and then rolled up the hair that the little one fell off. An Ning sat aside and collected the hair balls. The little ones will collect what falls out when brushing.
An Ping was also sitting beside her, but she couldn't be free. She was giving Shen Jinxiu a sachet at this time, and the lavender Yuehua brocade dress that Shen Jinxin made didn't have any suitable accessories.
"Well, Eldest Sister is very nice." Shen Jin smiled and said a few interesting things before she got married, Zhao Mama got to know Shen Qi's temperament in her heart.
Zhao Nanny also smiled and said, "Yes, the Princess is really kind to Madam." If it weren't for being really kind, how could she control Shen Jin's food? You can't use ice before and after the small day, and you can't eat spicy food on weekdays. Like, these are good things for women.
Shen Jin nodded, "But... no brother-in-law treats eldest sister badly."
Zhao Momo also remembered, frowned and said, "This old servant still remembers that the princess lost her baby?"
Shen Jin bit her lip, and felt a little uncomfortable. It was her little nephew, who roughly explained what happened today, "Cousin and cousin are really annoying."
Madam Zhao suddenly thought of Chu Xiuming's cousin, Madam knew about it, this dislike didn't just refer to Prince Yongle and his cousin...
"Actually, big sister is very powerful." Shen Jin combed the little one's tail, then patted the big dog's head, and the little one stood up and shook its fur, making it look more fluffy.
Zhao Nanny also thought of the few things Shen Jin said. It stands to reason that the princess' methods and ideas are not bad, but she didn't expect that she would capsize in the gutter and be tricked in the Yongle Hou Mansion. In the end, she just cared , Because I care about my husband, I tolerate everything, and because I like my husband, I go to please my in-laws.
Shen Jin hugged the little one and said, "But it's okay, the big sister just lost her head, and now she has been woken up by the concubine mother, it's just a pity for the little nephew..."
Zhao Momo narrowed her eyes and understood the meaning of Shen Jin's words. Thinking of Princess Rui, she felt that Yongle Hou's nephew would have fun watching her in the future. The lord is married to the eldest son of the Zheng family, and the eldest son of the Zheng family is very talented in writing, which has attracted many girls' hearts."
Shen Jin also had a chat about these things, first looked around, saw no outsiders, took off her shoes and socks to reveal her white and tender little feet and stepped on Xiao BuDian, Xiao BuDian was not annoyed, and changed her position to lie on her Under her feet, Mother Zhao took a look and wanted to say something, but seeing Shen Jin's look of comfort and anticipation, she didn't say anything, but asked An Ning and the others to sit over and block Shen Jin, even if there was It was enough for her to scold the servants.
"Nurse is the best." Shen Jin stuck out her tongue when she saw Xiao Xiao, and said coquettishly.
Zhao Momo sighed and said, "If Madam likes it, just spread a layer of fur inside the house when it's cold."
Shen Jinxiao's eyes were narrowed, and he said a little bit shyly, showing off, "My husband also said that."
Zhao Nanny saw Shen Jin's appearance in her eyes, and smiled a little. The relationship between the general and his wife became closer.
Shen Jin moved her toes, feeling extremely happy surrounded by fluff, but it was a little hot...
"By the way, I heard that my second brother-in-law wrote a collection of poems about flowers and songs, and it was widely circulated." Shen Jin actually doesn't like reading poems, but prefers travel notes, so she quickly put the name on it. I forgot, "I heard that the prince asked someone to buy it, and the palace found out about it, and reprimanded the second brother-in-law."
"Madam is "Song of Flowers." Anping raised his head and said with a smile, "All servants and servants remember it."
Shen Jin nodded, "That's it."
"Why does this old slave listen to such nonsense?" Mammy Zhao looked at Shen Jin with a puzzled expression.
Shen Jin blinked and said, "Where?"
"Why don't you tell the maid about it?" An Ping asked with a smile.
Shen Jin nodded, "Okay."
Anping told the general story, from the time when the three princesses started screaming with their two younger sisters before entering the door, when the cup was smashed by King Rui, to the time when their faces were red and shamed, and they also talked about "Song of Flowers" and When she left, she acted calmly, Mammy Zhao listened expressionlessly, nodded her head and said, "It's really...huh."
Shen Jin also nodded, "The fourth sister is very annoying."
Zhao Nanny sneered, "Madam did a great job today."
Shen Jin also thought it was good. She got in touch with the big sister, helped the big sister talk, flattered Princess Rui, and praised the second brother-in-law. In the future, the clean people like the second brother-in-law will be ashamed to say that their husband is a reckless man, chicken and duck It was very happy to talk about Shen Jin and Zhao Nanny.
"I didn't expect Madam to discover Miss Four's delusion." Zhao Mama smiled and praised, feeling relieved a lot in her heart, but she felt that Shen Jin might not understand. She put eye drops on Shen Zi. That Zheng Jiaqu and Shen Zi are going to have a fight when they go back, but what does it have to do with them
Shen Jin wrinkled her little nose, "It's annoying!" He emphasized his feelings again, "Of course I can find out, I'm smart."
I heard that small animals have a kind of intuition, and the intuition of rabbits is even more acute, especially when it comes to possessiveness in the territory. Zhao Momo took a look at Shen Jin, and it turned out that not only leopards enclose the territory to raise rabbits, but rabbits also enclose the territory to raise them... Raised by leopards.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Shen Jin didn't say anything about Chu Xiuming's black hand against King Rui and the others, but said, "My husband said that I don't need to see the fourth sister in the future, mother, you think I can take the little one to scare her?" ?"
"Why does Madam need to be like this?" Zhao Momo smiled kindly, as expected, this kind of thing should be done by her, "Leave it to the old slave, and the old slave will help Madam to vent her anger."
Shen Jin scratched her face, took Zhao Nanny's hand and said coquettishly, "Mommy is the best."
Zhao Nanny patted Shen Jin's hand, those people were overwhelmed, their eyes flashed coldly, they looked at Shen Jin and said more and more gently, "Madam, just be happy."
Shen Jin nodded, feeling that the matter had been handed over again, she stepped on the little one and said, "Okay, you are useless now, Mammy will help me vent my anger."
The little boy looked up at Shen Jin with his dark eyes, and stuck out his tongue to lick Shen Jin's fingers, making Shen Jin laugh.
At night, Shen Jin was lying in Chu Xiuming's arms, her eyes were red, she looked like she had just cried, and she had no strength in her body, because of Chu Xiuming's assurance, she now had the courage to bite Chu Xiuming's face After a few mouthfuls, "It hurts..." The voice was a bit hoarse, especially delicate.
Chu Xiuming also knew that it was just too much, but who made Shen Jin so enthusiastic today? He has always had excellent self-control, but facing his own little lady, he was defeated. He reached out and gently pressed her waist and said, "Tomorrow I'm afraid I won't be able to see your second sister's family."
"Huh?" Shen Jin was a little dazed, he closed his eyes and moaned after being pressed comfortably.
There was a smile in Chu Xiuming's voice, and there was a kind of laziness after being satisfied, and he was particularly arresting, "The two of them fought on the way back."
"Ah?" Shen Jin raised his spirits a bit, "Aren't they taking a car?"
"Yeah." Chu Xiuming also found it inconceivable, but there are quite a few people who know it, "Your second brother-in-law rolled off the car with his face covered in blood. Thanks to the slow speed of the carriage, he was not hurt."
roll off... roll off...
"Second sister is really amazing." Shen Jin sighed.
"Then your second sister chased after her." Chu Xiuming continued, "There is no injury on her face, but she is just in a mess. She snatched the coachman's whip and jumped out of the car to beat your second brother-in-law."
chasing out... pumping...
Shen Jin didn't know what to say, "It's not good to fight in the car, I'm afraid Side Concubine Xu is going to cry again."
There was a smile in Chu Xiuming's eyes. He heard what Shen Jin meant. It's not good for husband and wife to fight outside. It's better to fight with the door closed when they get home. Of course Concubine Xu will cry, and she has nothing else to do. Crying and looking for King Rui, what else can I do.
"Mother and concubine will be angry." Shen Jin thought of Princess Rui being angry, and her body trembled. Thanks to her being married, "Father will be unlucky."
When Princess Rui gets angry, she will not only deal with Concubine Xu, but also King Rui, because she thinks that King Rui is the root of the trouble, but unfortunately King Rui has never found out.
Chu Xiuming responded, and reached out to caress Shen Jin's smooth and soft back, "Go to sleep."
"En." Shen Jin yawned a little. This is someone else's business and let it go. It's not worthwhile to delay her sleep. Shen Jin turned over and got off Chu Xiuming, and then rolled into him In her arms, she hugged her husband's waist and began to sleep with her eyes closed.
It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. I never thought that Chu Xiuming would be called away by the people in the palace early the next morning. I don't know why Emperor Cheng thought of him, so Shen Jin had to go to Yonglehou's mansion alone, but Zhao mama went with her this time, after all, if Chu Xiuming was not around, she would watch over to prevent his wife from being bullied.
When Shen Jin arrived, Shen Qi came out to pick him up in person. Seeing that Chu Xiuming hadn't come, Shen Qi asked again. Knowing that it was Emperor Cheng who called him into the palace, she didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and took Shen Jin's arm to the main courtyard. Going forward, I want to greet Mrs. Yonglehou, but Yonglehou has already gone to court and is not in the mansion.
Mrs. Yonglehou is about the same age as Princess Rui, but looks slightly older than Princess Rui. She doesn't have a concubine, and she doesn't let the concubine of the mansion come out.
"Madam." Shen Jin saluted Madam Yongle Hou.
Chu Xiuming's title is lower than that of Yonglehou, and Mrs. Yonglehou is considered an elder, so she will be able to bear Shen Jin's gift.
Mrs. Yonglehou got up and helped Shen Jin up with her own hands, then held her hand and looked it up and down, turned her head and smiled at Shen Qi, "It looks like a good child, but it hurts."
Shen Qi also said with a smile, "My mother-in-law doesn't like me anymore when she sees my sister."
"Haha." Mrs. Yongle Hou smiled and let go of Shen Jin's hand, "No, I can't wait to snatch girl Jin into the mansion to be my daughter."
Shen Jin blushed and lowered her head shyly.
Mrs. Yongle Hou smiled, "Sit down, let the kitchen bring over cakes for you sweet treats."
Shen Qi led Shen Jin to sit beside her, and said, "The snacks in the small kitchen here by the mother-in-law are delicious, you should eat more later."
"Okay." Shen Jin smiled and said with bright eyes, "Thank you Ma'am."
"What's the name Madam, just Auntie." Mrs. Yonglehou said with a smile.
Shen Jin nodded, "Auntie."
"Hey." Mrs. Yonglehou replied, "I also heard about the siege of the city by the barbarians. Is your sister injured?"
"No." Shen Jin smiled sweetly, her eyes were curved and lovable.
Madam Yongle Hou said, "That's good."
Just now Mrs. Yonglehou asked the maid beside her to serve snacks in the kitchen, but who would have thought that it was a soft-looking woman who came in at this time. She was wearing a pink gauze dress, with only a bird's foot on her head. , with a pink pearl dotted in her hair, she swayed gently when she walked around, giving off a flimsy look, and her stomach had a rounded arc, she could tell she was pregnant at a glance, and her complexion was a little bit Pale is even more pitiful.
Shen Jin moved her eyes from her hair to her stomach and then looked at Mrs. Yonglehou. Mrs. Yonglehou had a somewhat embarrassed look on her face and said, "Yunniang, why did you come out?"
Standing behind Shen Jin, Nanny Zhao already knew the woman's identity, and knew that this woman came today just to show off that she was favored, and she severely humiliated Shen Qi in front of Shen Qi's family. She wouldn't dare to do this if she was a character like this, and Shen Jin is just Shen Qi's concubine sister, and in her opinion, she couldn't get much closer to Shen Qi. Give Shen Qi a head start.
This kind of person is just spoiled too much, Shen Qi used to be kind and merciless, so she relied on her status as a relative of Mrs. Yongle Hou and the cousin of Yongle Hou Shizi's identity. Mother Zhao took a look at Shen Qi, and Shen Qi's face changed Nothing changed, she took a sip of the tea, and Mammy Zhao didn't know whether to regret or be happy for Shen Qi, maybe Shen Qi had already seen it through, that's what Madam said, Shen Qi was already sober, but the price was a bit big.
Yun Niang's voice was soft like that of Jiangnan, she held the pastry in her hands and said with a smile, "Auntie, I thought that my sister's relatives are coming, so I made the pastry by myself." Then she looked at Shen Jin, "This The first one is Mrs. Yongning Bo, I have nothing to offer, so I can only make pastries from the south, I don’t know if it suits your appetite.”
"Then why did you bring it up?" Shen Jin looked at the woman with some doubts and asked.
Yunniang froze for a moment, and the corners of Shen Qi's mouth rose slightly.
Mrs. Yongle Hou didn't know what to say. What Yunniang said was a polite remark, and she usually said to have a taste or something, but did Shen Jin say something wrong? No, you didn't know my taste, so you brought some dim sum. Why
Yunniang bit her lip, her eyes were red, and she said as if she was holding back her sadness, "Yunniang was rude."
Mrs. Yonglehou sighed in her heart, glanced at Shen Qi, saw that Shen Qi had no intention of speaking, she was a relative of her own family after all, and said, "Young lady Yun...bring me the pastry."
Yun Niang responded, and brought the snacks to Mrs. Yonglehou's hand, and the maid also brought the snacks, and put her head down on Shen Qi and Shen Jin's. Shen Jin laughed when she saw it, "Thank you, aunt, it must be my sister who told me Aunt, I like these few things."
Shen Qi said, "Try it quickly."
Shen Jin responded with a smile, took a piece and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and ate it. The taste was exactly what she liked before she got married, but later, Mammy Zhao made her coquettish.
Yun Niang stretched out her hand to touch her stomach, then lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Mrs. Yongningbo and my sister are really sisters."
Shen Jin just swallowed the last sip, took a sip of tea, and then put the teacup aside, she felt that this woman was a little strange, "We are sisters, and naturally sisters are deeply in love, who are you? How did you treat me? Sister one sister? I don’t remember that my sister has any other sisters.”
Before Yunniang could speak, Shen Jin continued, "Where is your husband-in-law? Why do you still do such a maid's work with a big belly? Auntie, didn't she call your aunt?" Although she didn't say it clearly, Shen Jin's face It is written on it, since it is a relative, why is the good cousin still pregnant when you squander it as a maid, "This...isn't so good..." This is euphemistic, but it's better not to say it.
Mrs. Yonglehou's complexion changed. She didn't want to bear the reputation of abusing her niece. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Yunniang say anxiously with tears in her eyes, "Ma'am misunderstood. It wasn't my aunt who told me to do it. My aunt told me to do it." But it's alright... I..." I didn't mention the fact that the child in her womb was Yongle Hou Shizi.
Shen Jin thinks that the people in the capital are a bit strange, like a good queen mother who eats vegetarian food and chant Buddha instead of going to enjoy the blessings, a good cousin who is not supposed to be a maid, and looks at Yun Niang with surprise on her face, such a strange temperament... Shen Jin turned her head and glanced at Zhao Nanny, then at Yunniang, and said suddenly, "Oh, I understand."
What do you understand
Not only Mrs. Yongle Hou and Yun Niang, but also Shen Qi and Zhao Momo were very curious.
Shen Qi's eyes flickered, and he asked with a smile, "Sister, don't talk in half, my sister still doesn't understand."
Shen Jin looked down at the plate, chose another pastry shaped like a plum blossom, and asked, "Is this from plum blossoms?"
"That's right." Shen Qi endured the urging and said, "There are still plum blossoms, but they are dried plum blossoms."
Shen Jin nodded and began to eat. Madam Zhao was used to Shen Jin, so she was not in a hurry. Mrs. Yongle Hou had seen the world a lot, so she couldn't bear it. Yunniang almost grabbed Shen Jin and shook it vigorously.
After Shen Jin finished eating, he took another sip of tea before saying, "Huh..." Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Shen Jin blinked and turned to look at Mother Zhao.
Zhao Nanny said with a strong smile, "Madam, they are waiting for Madam to explain why she understands the fact that the cousin girl robbed the maid's job."
"Oh." Shen Jin nodded and said, "It's very simple. Some people like poetry and songs, some people like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, some people like dancing swords and making tea, and some people like... I can't think of it. Personal preference, Mrs. Yonglehou just Cousin, she is not the biological mother, how can she interfere? Although Cousin has a bit of a preference... Well, it’s fine at home." The last sentence she said was to Yun Niang, with a sense of comfort, after all, The relatives of the big sister's mother-in-law's family, it's not good if they get angry.
Yunniang's complexion changed, and Mrs. Yonglehou was also full of embarrassment and embarrassment. Although Shen Jin didn't say it clearly, the meaning was very clear. Yunniang just liked being a maid and was born to serve others. They didn't believe that Shen Jin would not Knowing Yunniang's identity, everyone thought that she was here to vent Shen Qi's anger, but no one thought that Shen Qi would have such a good relationship with a concubine, so not only Yunniang but also Mrs. Yonglehou didn't care, otherwise Yunniang just Come in and scold her out.
Shen Jin didn't know what they were thinking at all, and even if she knew, she didn't care, and it wasn't her mother-in-law's house. Shen Jin wanted to try another piece of pastry, but suddenly remembered what Princess Rui wanted her to come over, and looked around at the pastry. Then her eyes fell on Yunniang's stomach. She also guessed Yunniang's identity from the look in Zhao Mama's eyes just now. She decided to vent her anger for the eldest sister, make things difficult for her a little bit, and then embarrass the crown prince Yongle severely. Well, she hasn't felt sorry for anyone yet, she actually feels a little excited when she thinks about it! Could it be that she is a villain by nature! It's a good match with your husband, too.
"Who is your husband-in-law? Why did you come out even though you were pregnant?" Although Shen Jin had thought about embarrassing Yunniang, she was really inexperienced.
Shen Qi wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said with a smile, "This is my husband's cousin, and also my husband's concubine."
Shen Jin glanced at Yunniang, "Oh."
Yun Niang blushed as if she was infinitely shy and said to Shen Jinfu, "Sister, just call me Yun Niang."
"..." Shen Jin looked at Yunniang blankly, when did she have an extra sister.
Zhao Momo's complexion changed, and she angrily said, "Bold." Sure enough, she was right to follow, "Mrs. Yonglehou, are you insulting our Yongningbo Mansion?"
Shen Qi's expression was also ugly, and he looked at Mrs. Yonglehou, "Mother-in-law, I think my cousin is sick and confused, so let's send her down to rest."
"Although Mrs. Shizi is our wife's elder sister." Zhao Nanny looked at Shen Qi sharply, "Now that this involves the Yongning uncle's mansion, it must not be left like this."
Shen Qi resolutely stopped talking, and looked at Mrs. Yonglehou apologetically, feeling extremely satisfied in her heart, and was annoyed by this bitch calling her sister a long time ago.
Shen Jin was a little worried that Shen Qi would be angry, so she stretched out her hand to touch Shen Qi's hand, and Shen Qi squeezed her finger lightly. , after all, it is the husband's family of the big sister, forget it, I will tell my husband when I go back."
This is even more terrifying, okay? Thinking of the rumors about Yongningbo, even if you know that the rumors may not be true, they are not groundless! Mrs. Yonglehou's face turned pale, and now she can't wait to go back to just now... no, back to the day when she knew Shen Jin was coming, she must have someone lock Yunniang in the yard and not let her out.
