When Princess Ruyang and Zhongyihou returned to their residence, they saw several children waiting for them, their faces full of panic, Zhongyihou said, "It's okay, let's go down first."
Several people looked at each other, and then they all returned to their own room. Princess Ru Yang sat on a chair with a dejected face and asked, "What do they mean?"
Although Zhong Yihou had gained a lot of weight, his mind was not confused. Hearing this, he said, "No matter what it means, is there any other way besides following the route they arranged?"
Princess Ru Yang pursed her lower lip, and kept silent. Zhong Yihou looked at Princess Ru Yang and said, "At least that's fine, we don't need all of our family to stay here. After you return to Beijing, Princess, no matter what Yong Ning Hou told you You don't do anything."
"But like this..." Princess Ru Yang looked at Hou Zhongyi hesitantly, "What should you do, son-in-law?"
"Shen Jin is King Rui's daughter after all, as long as King Rui is still in Beijing, they will be more or less scrupulous." Zhong Yihou comforted.
Hearing what Zhong Yihou said, Princess Ru Yang felt even more uneasy, and instead said, "Forget it, anyway, the original secret letter has already been sent to the royal father, even... no matter what I say, the royal father will not believe it, let alone What's more... I think the Marquis of Yongning may not have the intention of disobedience." When it came to the last paragraph, Princess Ruyang also lacked confidence.
Zhong Yihou shook his head and said, "This is too embarrassing for the princess, and it is very dangerous. After the princess returns to Beijing, she will truthfully tell Her Majesty the situation in the border town."
In fact, Princess Ru Yang thought about this when she first knew that Marquis Yongning was going to send her back to Beijing, but when she knew that she was the only one returning to Beijing, this thought disappeared. Princess Yang felt ashamed and guilty, and she didn't look at Zhongyihou's eyes. Seeing Princess Ruyang's expression, Zhongyihou felt guilty at last, and stretched out his hand to hold Princess Ruyang's hand and said, " Being able to marry a princess is a blessing in my life, and I won't be able to take care of her in the future... "
"Consort." Princess Ru Yang interrupted Zhong Yihou's words, "It will be fine, and I will not let you both."
Zhongyihou wanted to persuade him again, but Princess Ruyang covered Zhongyihou's mouth with her hand and said, "Consort, don't worry."
In the general's mansion, after returning to the border town, Chu Xiuming followed Shen Jin's original promise, and spread thick fur on the floor of the house as soon as it was cold, but because Dongdong often slept with Shen Jin, the fur was not there. In the main room, Mother Zhao and the others specially cleaned up a room next to it. The furniture inside was specially made by others. The floor was first covered with a specially made thick mattress, and the top was covered with fluffy fur. There are many cushions of various sizes and shapes.
Sometimes when the weather is bad, Shen Jin will bring Dongdong here to play. After seeing off Princess Ruyang, Shen Jin comes here with Dongdong in his arms, and asks Anping to have a fight with Concubine Chen. He greeted her and asked her if she wanted to bring Brother Qing and Baozhu, but in the end Concubine Chen only asked Mother Li to bring Brother Qing to her.
Brother Qing is bigger than Dongdong, but he is not as strong as Dongdong. The two younger ones are familiar with each other. After Mama Li put Brother Qing down, Dongdong crawled towards Brother Qing, because the bed was too soft. Well, Dongdong didn't climb steadily, when he got to Brother Qing's place, he lay on Brother Qing's body all of a sudden, as if he thought it was fun, and looked up at Shen Jin with his little head, "Mother Qi!"
Brother Qing was not angry either, he was crushed under Dongdong's body honestly, and even moved his limbs, and then he seemed to say hello to Dongdong, "Ah."
Shen Jin sat in the middle, reached out and patted the little dog's head and said, "Go."
The little one just stood up, then went to Dongdong and the others, lowered his head and bit the back strap of Dongdong's cotton trousers, then returned to Shen Jin's side with him in his mouth, and then put Dongdong down, Dongdong seemed to have I got used to it, and didn't move when it was held in its mouth. After I put it down, I turned over and looked up at the little one, "Wow!"
"Wow." The little one also called out, then lowered his head and rubbed Dongdong with his cool nose.
Shen Jin patted the little boy on the head, and fed it a piece of jerky. Although Dongdong left, Brother Qing didn't get up. Stretching its head like a tortoise, it looked at the little one, "Ah!"
Li's mother wanted to bend down to hug him, but she heard him yell loudly, Li's mother looked puzzled and said, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jin smiled and said, "I'm afraid I want the little one to hold it." He patted the little dog's head casually, pointed to Shen Qing, "Go."
Li's mother just saw the little boy holding something in her mouth, so she was not worried. Besides, she had been taking care of Shen Jin, and she knew Shen Jin's personality, so she stood up straight and waited beside her with a smile. The little girl really walked over Holding Shen Qing in her mouth like just now, she walked to Shen Jin's side and then put it down. Then Shen Qing laughed and rolled into a ball with Dongdong who crawled over.
Shen Jin looked at Mama Li who was standing at the door and said, "Mama Li, come in too."
Mama Li smiled and agreed. Anping took some shoes specially made to wear in the house and put them on for Mama Li. Somewhat soft."
"Okay." Li's mother also found out that the people in the room sank as soon as they stepped on their feet, and they felt very comfortable. Somehow, Li's mother remembered Shen Jin's childhood, when she said she wanted to I want a room where I can sit and lie down at any time. After looking at this room, the girl finally got her wish. No wonder the madam is so relieved now. The madam and the girl are considered lucky now.
After Li's mother found a place to sit down, following Mother Zhao's example, Shen Jin smiled and said, "Anping, bring the mat to Li's mother."
Mother Li grabbed the cushion next to her and said, "This old slave can do it by himself."
Shen Jin was not too polite with Li's mother, and asked after seeing Li's mother sat down, "Where are mother and Baozhu?"
Li's mother was actually not used to such a place, but she also felt that sitting like this was very novel and comfortable. Hearing this, she said, "Miss Baozhu felt a little disturbed, so Madam stayed here to coax her, saying that she would come back later."
Shen Jin smiled and said, "Then let the two of them play first." As he spoke, he poked Dongdong's pouting buttocks.
Dongdong turned to look at Shen Jin, "Ah."
Shen Jin took the cloth tiger and put it around Dongdong and Brother Qing, letting them play while Anping and Anning stood by, Shen Jin asked, "Mother Li, what's wrong with mother coming to the border town with you?" ?”
Although the border town is not as prosperous as the capital city, and even a little panicky, but Mother Li feels very comfortable, and the cook that her girl prepares for the courtyard is also good at cooking, whether it is Beijing cuisine or the border town. Knowing how to cook all the dishes, I mix them up every day, even my wife used half a bowl of rice, and said, "There is nothing wrong with it. The old slave sees that my wife likes to use burnt mutton."
"That's good." Shen Jin was afraid that her mother would think not to cause trouble for herself, so she didn't say anything even if there was any discomfort, "But has anyone neglected it?"
In fact, this question is mainly about those people who were brought out from the capital. The people Shen Jin selected for his mother's courtyard are all honest and uninvolved. Besides, the people here are simple and simple members of the general's mansion. These servants are nothing Shen Jin didn't feel that these people would wrong her mother.
Sure enough, when asked here, Mother Li hesitated a bit, and after a while she said, "It's not negligent, it's just..." She seemed a little embarrassed and didn't know how to say it, "Although the madam doesn't mind, the old slave I feel like they are a little wary of Madam."
Shen Jin looked confused, but Nanny Zhao immediately understood that the ones who could be taken away were all Concubine Rui's cronies. Naturally, she would not completely trust Concubine Chen. When Concubine Rui was there, Concubine Chen was Those who are in a disadvantaged position will naturally not feel anything, but now in the border town, Shen Jin is the daughter of Concubine Chen and the hostess of the General's Mansion, while Princess Rui and King Rui have returned to the capital, the relationship between strength and weakness It seemed to be turned upside down all of a sudden, not to mention that being brought to the border town now is almost all the property that Prince Rui's mansion can produce. These people are loyal to Princess Rui, and even ordered by King Rui himself. It should be the two young masters born by Princess Rui.
These people didn't really think that Concubine Chen or Shen Jin would plot something, but it was because they were uneasy because they were suddenly in a weak situation, so they took some precautions.
Presumably, Concubine Chen also saw this, so she didn't care, but Mother Li felt wronged and worried about Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen obviously didn't have those thoughts, but these people did.
Mother Li looked at Shen Jin with a little embarrassment, but Mother Zhao explained to Shen Jin in a low voice, and Shen Jin suddenly realized with a smile, "It turns out that it is actually like when the nest of snow rabbits just arrived here." , is also restless all day." Shen Jin really has no idea about those things, and she doesn't have the kind of indignation of Li's mother. People are placed in Ruyi Garden together with things."
After finishing speaking, Shen Jin looked at Zhao Nanny and ordered, "Don't arrange people from the General's Mansion there, just let them talk to Anping directly about what they need."
Zhao Momo respectfully responded, thinking that Madam's behavior is not bad. If those people continue to behave like this after she shows her attitude, then don't blame her for doing it. Madam's kindness does not mean she is willing to see Madam being bullied. They should also know who is in charge of the border town. If Madam really thinks like that, will their precautions be useful
Back then Princess Ruyang and Zhong Yihou brought many guards and soldiers, so what was the final result
Mother Li also breathed a sigh of relief, and Mother Zhao asked, "Ma'am, are all the people moved to Ruyi Garden?"
Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "How is Shuangqiao?"
Mother Li said, "Shuangqiao doesn't show up much except to take care of Miss Baozhu every day. She is very respectful to Madam and restrains Miss Baozhu's nanny."
Zhao Nanny frowned when she heard the words, this Shuangqiao looked smart, but her way of doing this meant staying out of the way, which meant that the two were not helping each other.
Shen Jin thought of what Shen Qi explained back then, and said, "Please Shuangqiao come here."
"Yes." Anping went outside and called the little maid to invite Shuangqiao.
Shen Jin said, "When I was in the capital, my sister asked me to help Shuangqiao find a home in the border town. I don't know if I still have such thoughts now, and I have always forgotten."
Mother Li looked at Shen Jin with some disapproval. Mother Zhao didn't think it was a matter. She glanced at Mother Li. After all, it was because Mother Li hadn't understood what Shen Jin's status was in the border town. If she knew , it will not be like now, because of the precautions of several people, I will feel uneasy, and I will not feel that it is a big deal to find someone for Shuangqiao.
Mother Zhao understood what Mama Li was worried about. She was afraid that Shen Jin's handling would make Shen Qi dissatisfied, or that these people were Princess Rui's confidantes. In case Princess Rui came or returned to Beijing, what did they say to Princess Rui? , making life difficult for Concubine Chen.
Shen Jin glanced at Anping and Anning and said with a smile, "It's time for you to find someone else, did your family talk about marriage?"
An Ping and An Ning blushed, but An Ning was still young, so she was not in a hurry, but An Ping had reached the age to talk about marriage, after all, the people in the border town were more open, An Ping held back his shyness and said, "It's all up to Madam to decide. "
Mother Zhao wanted to mention a few words to Mama Li, so she said, "Is there anyone in Anping? As long as both parties are interested, Madam can help you decide."
Anping shook his head, thought for a while and said, "I want to marry a soldier under the general's command. I don't ask for anything else, as long as he is good and capable."
Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "Then I will ask my husband if there is any suitable one, and I will tell you when the time comes."
Anping bit his lower lip and nodded.
Ms. Li looked at Anping and then at Zhao Nanny, thinking in her heart, Anning smiled and said congratulations to Anping, Dongdong and Brother Qing didn't know what happened yet, the two of them had fun playing with the little one, I don't know how Dongdong crawled, but he actually got on the little one's body, holding the little one's ear and biting it, the saliva wet the little one's ear, and Brother Qing also wanted to go up, but the little one pressed his paws He won't hurt Shen Qing, but he won't let Shen Qing climb onto him.
In Xiao Budian's eyes, Dongdong is its little master, so it is natural to torment it like this, but Shen Qing is just someone else's child, who came to play with her own little master, so she would not let him ride on her.
Shen Qing didn't know what the little guy was thinking, she thought Dongdong was playing with him, she kept barking happily, and even took the cloth tiger and stuffed it towards the little guy, seeing that no one noticed them, the little guy stretched out his paw and swiped the big dog's head As soon as it was pushed up, Shen Qing rolled to the side, but she didn't want Dongdong to be lying on its head, and slipped down all of a sudden, thanks to the extremely thick bed underneath, it wouldn't hurt, Dongdong laughed and clapped her hands , Xiao Budian stuck out his tongue, rubbed his nose against Dongdong, then scratched his ears with his paws, it was wet.
But they didn't know that all of this was seen by everyone. Although they were talking, they all paid attention to their side. Seeing the little boy shaking his head vigorously, Shen Jin couldn't help laughing with his stomach in his arms.
Even Li's mother and the others couldn't help showing a smile, the little boy stopped his paws with some doubts, and then looked at Shen Jin, "Wow?"
Shen Jin went over and rubbed its head, took another piece of dried meat and put it in its mouth, and said, "It's so good."
Shuangqiao was brought here soon, and Shen Jin asked directly, "Shuangqiao, I haven't spared time to meet you after being here for so long, do you have anything to say to me, sister?"
"Shi Zifei didn't say anything about Madam Hou's words." Shuang Qiao said respectfully.
Shen Jin asked, "Back then when I was in Prince Rui's Mansion, my sister mentioned your marriage, but you refused at that time, what do you think now?"
Shuangqiao was stunned for a moment, her eyes flickered and she said, "The servant will never marry for the rest of his life, and serves the girl."
Shen Jin heard the words and said, "I originally wanted you all to move into Ruyi Garden. Since you are thinking so much, you should stay by Baozhu's side and take good care of you."
Shuang Qiao said with a tremor in her heart, "Yes, this servant will obey Mrs. Chen's words and serve the girl wholeheartedly."
Shen Jin smiled and said, "Anping reward."
Anping took a purse and put it in Shuangqiao's hand, Shen Jin said, "Then you go back and have a look, choose two more to keep, and let them pack up the rest and prepare to go to Ruyi Garden."
"Your servant obeys." Shuangqiao already understood the real meaning of being called to Shen Jin today. In fact, she knew the thoughts of those people who served the concubine back then, but she felt that she was the person by Shen Qi's side, and she also wanted to see Chen Fang. What is the attitude of the concubine and Shen Jin? After all, it seems that they will live in the border town for a long time, and Shen Jin is the master of the border town. Okay, I respect the princess again, but I'm sure when I get here.
Recently, Shen Jin didn't say anything, but beat her. Although Concubine Chen is only a concubine, she is Shen Jin's biological mother. How can Shen Jin see others treat him like this? Although he thinks it is understandable, he doesn't know There was no reaction at all. If it was true, it would inevitably make people look down on Concubine Chen.
After Shuangqiao left the main courtyard, she turned her head to look again, and let out a breath slowly.
Mother Li took Shen Qing and Dongdong to play for a while, seeing that both Dongdong and Shen Qing were falling asleep, she hugged Shen Qing and said goodbye. Zhao Nanny sent her back in person, without saying anything on the way What, Mother Li suddenly asked, "Should I not bother Mrs. Hou with those trivial matters?"
Zhao Nanny said softly, "This is not a trivial matter. Madam cares about Mrs. Chen, so she naturally hopes that Mrs. Chen can live a happy life."
Mother Li nodded and didn't say anything else. Mother Zhao thought for a while and said, "And Mrs. Chen doesn't need to think so much anymore."
In fact, Mother Li is not stupid, but she didn't turn around for a while. She has lived in the environment like Prince Rui's Mansion for more than 20 years, and she has already gotten used to it. Now that she thinks about it, she is too careful.
When Chu Xiuming came from the meeting room, he saw that Shen Jin and Dongdong were already sleeping on the cushions, and the little one was lying beside them. When he heard the footsteps, he looked at Chu Xiuming and wagged his tail, because Dongdong It was leaning against it, so the little one didn't move.
After Anping and Anning saw Chu Xiuming, they backed out. Chu Xiuming walked in and sat beside Shen Jin, because it was not a problem to lie down and sleep in the back of the bed, but Shen Jin and Dongdong were both covered. The quilt, while Dongdong's little feet kicked the little one's stomach, sleeping with his little mouth slightly open and sleeping very sweetly.
Chu Xiuming gently tidied up Shen Jin's broken hair, and simply lay sideways beside them. The little one also closed his eyes again, and a big paw was still on Dongdong's body.
Shen Jin fell asleep in a daze, opened his eyes in a daze and glanced at Chu Xiuming, then got into his arms skillfully, hugged his waist, and continued to sleep, not even caring about his son up.
Chu Xiuming tucked the quilt for Shen Jin, tidied Dongdong's quilt, stretched out his arms around Shen Jin, and gently stroked her back, but Shen Jin couldn't sleep anymore, so he yawned and closed his eyes softly Said, "I've already sent someone to send Xue Qiao away..." He told Chu Xiuming about his arrangement.
Because Dongdong was still sleeping, Chu Xiuming's laughter was particularly deep. Shen Jin leaned on Chu Xiuming's body and said, "I think she will think about it."
"En." Chu Xiuming lowered his eyes slightly. Not only would Xue Qiao think about it, but he would definitely make the Prince of England think about it, because not everyone is like Shen Jin. Xiu Ming wouldn't believe it either, she said it was because King Ying saved her son, that's why it happened? If the person who rescued her that day was not an identity like the Prince of England, but a beggar or a gangster, I am afraid that he would not have shown such affection.
And Xue Qiao really didn't suspect what happened to Xue's mansion back then? Xue Qiao is not stupid but extremely intelligent, otherwise he wouldn't be liked by his mother.
Shen Jin told Chu Xiuming about Princess Ruyang again, and Chu Xiuming responded, "I think Princess Ruyang will make the right choice in the future."
"Has there been news from over there?" Shen Jin asked because he knew that Chu Xiuming had sent spies.
Chu Xiuming said, "No." Those spies had completely lost the news, which made Chu Xiuming feel a little worried.
Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "When do you think the concubine and the others will arrive?"
Chu Xiuming pinched his wife's waist and said, "Shen Xi has brought someone to pick her up, and he will be here in March."
"Just in time for the loquat." Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "The loquat tremella soup made by Cuixi next to the concubine is delicious."
Chu Xiuming laughed when he heard the words, "Then I will try it too."
"En." Shen Jin smiled, "And those who eat are good for the body."
Chu Xiuming actually felt that Shen Jin's complexion had improved a bit since Concubine Chen came. It's not that she was not good in the past, but that Shen Jin is now very satisfied, as if all her troubles are gone. When Concubine Chen was alone in the capital, although Shen Jin didn't say anything, she still missed her a little.
"Actually..." Chu Xiuming was about to say something when he heard footsteps outside. Chu Xiuming sat up holding Shen Jin.
It was Yue Wen who came, Chu Xiuming got up and walked outside, Yue Wen said after saluting, "General, the son of the King of England sent an envoy to say that he has something to say to the general."
