As the daughter of King Rui, Shen Zi who was married as a princess should have attracted a lot of envy, but sometimes envy is relative. Shen Jin, who was married as a princess, is the focus of everyone's attention. Although Yongning Bo has many It was rumored, but it was mysterious enough, and part of Shen Jin's dowry was sent to the Earl's Mansion, and part was sent to the border with Shen Jin.
After Shen Jin's sedan chair left the city gate, it was changed to a horse-drawn carriage, then to a waterway, and then to a horse-drawn carriage. It took about three months on the road before reaching the border.
Apart from not being able to move around at will, Shen Jin's life is not difficult. She can calm down by herself and read some books when she is in the car.
Because considering the time spent on the road, Shen Jin's wedding dress was carefully prepared in two sets, one was worn in the capital, and the other was much thicker for the border, which was not superfluous. They did not enter the border directly, but waited for the people from Yongningbo to pick them up in the nearest town.
Early in the morning, Shen Jin was called up by Xi Niang, changed into the cotton-padded wedding dress, and then sat quietly in the post station waiting for Uncle Yongning to marry him.
There are many rumors about Bo Yongning, and eating raw human flesh is not new. Shen Jin has also been thinking about what kind of person Yongning Bo will be, and what kind of life she will live after getting married. If Uncle Yongning has a bad temper, what should she do? Uncle Yongning looks too scary, what should she do? Uncle Yongning eats raw meat, should she eat with him? But after imagining the appearance of raw meat, Shen Jin dismissed the idea, she thought she could watch Uncle Yongning eat it.
Although she thought about it a lot, Shen Jin never thought that she would never see Uncle Yongning!
Not only did Yongningbo not come to pick up his relatives, he was not even in the border town, because he led troops to raid the barbarians, so the one who came to pick up Shen Jin was Yongningbo's younger brother, Chu Xiuyuan, who was not yet ten years old.
Moreover, Chu Xiuyuan had already got his elder brother Chu Xiuming's confession, brought the soldiers from the mansion, and carried away the bride and dowry, but none of those dowries were brought into the border town.
Before Shen Jin married in, there were two masters, Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan, in the mansion. After Shen Jin married in, the mansion still had these two masters. won't recognize her.
It's not that these people neglected Shen Jin, but a feeling of being out of place. The mansions in the border towns are naturally not as luxurious as those in the capital, but they are large in size, and Shen Jin lives in the main courtyard of the mansion. Those dowries asked Shen Jin After receiving his opinion, he was properly arranged.
The mansion has also arranged people to serve Shen Jin. Unlike the people in the capital, both men and women here are tall, and they don't talk much and move quickly. They will only answer Shen Jin's questions when she asks. .
In Prince Rui's Mansion, although the maidservants beside Shen Jin were covered in silk and satin, they were not much different. However, Shen Jin found that people here seldom wore long skirts, and more clothes were worn. It is made of cloth, and there are not many jewelry on the body.
The unfamiliar environment and no familiar person around made Shen Jin feel at a loss. The most obvious manifestation was that Shen Jin lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The one serving Shen Jin now is Xi Le and An Ping, and the dowry maid brought by Shen Jin is already on her way back to the capital.
Shen Jin is not a loving and embarrassing character, on the contrary, she is not favored in Prince Rui's mansion, which makes her more sensible. This is also thanks to the fact that she is the one who married. If it were Shen Zi, I am afraid that the world would have fallen apart.
And Xile, Anping, and Shen Jin have no enmity. Seeing Shen Jin's sluggish appearance every day, she couldn't bear it. After greeting Anping, Xile came to the mansion to find Manager Wang, and asked directly, "Mr. Wang, Is this not good for Madam?" Director Wang is not only the steward of the mansion, but also Chu Xiuming's military adviser, because there is no housekeeper in the mansion, so he stays to help Yongning Bo take care of the house.
"Are we short of clothes or are we wearing less?" Manager Wang asked back. He actually disapproved of Chu Mingxiu marrying a delicate wife, because here, sometimes women have to go to the battlefield when encountering wars, and Yongning Mrs. Uncle is not just a title, but a person who can stand up on her own when Uncle Yongning is away. "Because Madam is afraid of the cold, the government has specially purchased extra carbon to keep Madam warm."
Xi Le is just a maid, and she can't speak for Manager Wang at all. Hearing this, she said, "It's not that the madam insists on marrying the general." She was specially selected from the people in the border town to serve Shen Jin. Xiu was the general who led them to victory, not some earl.
Even the sign hanging outside Chu Mingxiu's mansion in the border town is the General's Mansion, not the Earl's Mansion.
Even though she said that, Xi Le didn't say anything more. After all, in their eyes, the two brothers Chu Mingxiu were the most important.
In fact, Shen Jin lost weight purely because she didn't get used to it. Whether it was the food or the weather, she felt uncomfortable. Although Shen Jin cried secretly because she missed her mother, she was not weak.
When he first arrived here, Shen Jin didn't dare to walk around or make random demands. The rumors about Uncle Yongning were too scary, but after staying here for more than a month, Shen Jin suddenly felt that it was actually not as scary as he imagined. , like a small animal in a strange environment, at the very beginning, it always carefully observes the surrounding environment, and the slightest movement can scare it back into its shell.
But gradually, when it realizes that it is safe here, it will slowly stretch out its claws, and then try a little.
This is exactly the case for Shen Jin. After eating a list of unappetizing meals for more than a month, Shen Jin suddenly asked, "Xi Le, what do you usually eat?"
Xi Le didn't expect Shen Jin to take the initiative to chat with her, so she said, "We are not used to eating rice, but we prefer to eat pasta."
"Oh?" After Shen Jin lost weight, her eyes became bigger and moist. When she looked at you, she looked like a little squirrel begging for food.
Xi Le and An Ping themselves were soft-hearted towards Shen Jin, but Shen Jin was always lacking energy some time ago, so they didn't say much, besides, both men and women in the border town are bold, Xi Le poured Shen Jin a glass of water and said with a smile , "I love noodles, and Anping likes sesame seed cakes with meat."
"Is it delicious?" Shen Jin looked at Xi Le expectantly.
Xi Le said, "I think it's good. The noodles are very strong. The soup base is made of lamb bones, with sliced meat on top and some spicy peppers. It's not only delicious but also easy to fill up."
"Actually, I think beef noodles are better." Anping put back the quilt that was put out and said, "Especially if you use burnt beef, and then eat a roasted brown sesame seed cake, it's delicious."
"Really?" Shen Jin looked forward to it even more, "Is it really that delicious?"
"That's right." Anping said with a smile, "Especially the Old Man Qiao's in the west city, the taste is amazing."
Shen Jin didn't speak, but just looked at them with moist eyes, "It seems delicious."
No matter how dull Xi Le and An Ping were, they could see what Shen Jin meant. The two looked at each other, and Xi Le said, "But the taste is a bit heavy. Madam, you should not be used to it."
A look of disappointment suddenly appeared in Shen Jin's eyes, "Can I really not eat?"
"Okay, I'll ask my younger brother to go out and buy a few. If Madam doesn't like it, then we can eat it." Looking at Shen Jin's appearance, Anping suddenly softened his heart.
A look of surprise appeared on Shen Jin's face, and then he kept urging Anping with his eyes, and asked, "How much is it? Will it be expensive with so much meat?"
"Not expensive." Xi Le said with a smile, "meat is much cheaper than those vegetables and fruits here."
Shen Jin insisted on taking out the silver and giving it to Anping, saying, "Don't let people know."
"Why?" Xi Le asked, "Madam can take things that Madam wants."
Shen Jin blushed, picked at the skirt with her fingers and said, "No way, outsiders will laugh at me if they know I'm so gluttonous."
Xi Le and An Ping couldn't help laughing, and they got closer to Shen Jin in their hearts. They didn't find the trap in Shen Jin's words at all, and they took Xi Le and An Ping as their own in one sentence. During this time, Shen Jin had been secretly observing The character of these two close maids, I found that they are not like those people in the capital who have a lot of twists and turns in their hearts. It is impossible to bribe them, and the combination of kindness and power that my mother said is not suitable for the environment here.
So Shen Jin changed a method. She didn't know when Yongningbo would come back, but she hoped that Yongningbo would come back later, so that she would have time to open up the situation in the mansion first. She didn't ask them to be more respectful and obedient, at least to win them. people's favor.
The honor of the princess, the title of countess is not easy to use in front of these people, since Shen Jin mercilessly drove away those dowries, Shen Jin discovered that this place is not the same as the folk customs in the capital, and it is difficult to use identity to suppress people. People are useless at all, and she is isolated and helpless in such a place. If Shen Jin dares to be ignorant, she might die of a disease not long after acclimatization...
Shengshang and Ruiwang will turn against Yongningbo because of her? It's impossible to think about it, and besides, she died of illness due to poor health, so it has nothing to do with Yongning Bo.
I'm afraid that the only one who will be sad at that time is my mother.
However, Shen Jin found out that the sesame seed cakes recommended by Anping were unexpectedly delicious. There was secret stewed meat sandwiched inside the fried sesame seed cakes, which were as big as Shen Jin's two palms, and she actually ate one and a half of them. In fact, she thought she could still eat the remaining half, but because the appetite frightened Anping and Xile, the two desperately stopped Shen Jin and promised to buy it for her tomorrow, Shen Jin reluctantly gave up The decision to eat half of the remaining.
It's just because Shen Jin couldn't control it for a while. When eating at night, the meals specially made for her didn't move a single bite, and Anping and Xile ate them all. Digest in circles.
