After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 99 Don't Understand

The old emperor put down the paper, slightly disappointed, but his mind was still spinning rapidly.

Shen Jingcheng's article seems to be limited in ability, but this person has never lost anything in being a food chief for so many years, and there is no turmoil when he brings thousands of refugees to settle down at a young age, which shows that he still has the ability to resettle the refugees.

Now that the Yellow River and the Huaihe River are suffering from constant disasters every year, it might be useful for him to become an official in those disaster-stricken places.

Just like that, the old emperor's thoughts gradually flew away, and he began to think about the disaster-stricken places on both sides of the Huanghuai River.

Shen Jingcheng didn't know what the old emperor on the dragon chair was planning. He finished the paper step by step, checked it carefully, and felt that it was not too outstanding, so he handed in the paper with confidence.

When the day to release the rankings arrived, Shen Jingcheng found his own ranking and smiled silently.

Sure enough, as he expected, the ranking is in the middle, neither the front nor the back, which belongs to the safest position.

After the list is released, except for the first and second top names, you have already received official positions. Other Jinshi want to seek an official or the Imperial Academy, you can submit materials to the Hall of Preservation and take another imperial examination. According to your answers, There will be a special person in charge of accepting officials.

Because Shen Jingcheng didn't want to be an official, so as soon as the ranking was released, he immediately left the capital when he saw his ranking.

Even his fellow countrymen and Jiang Zhengshu's students who came to congratulate him after knowing that he had passed the Jinshi examination failed to catch his shadow.

The two groups of people met outside Shen Jingcheng's small courtyard in the capital, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Is this gone?

Years of studying hard in the cold window, finally passed the Jinshi exam, and left without looking for an errand?
They don't understand, very much don't understand.

Of course, Shen Jingcheng didn't need them to understand, right now he was galloping his horse, his clothes and hair were flying back, making a soft sound in the air.

Three days later, Shen Jingcheng arrived at Shenjia Village, got off his horse and before entering the door, he saw the red cloth tied to the door. ①
This is... born?
Still a kid?
Shen Jingcheng was a little dazed, the doorkeeper Uncle Zhang saw him coming, and immediately stepped forward to lead the horse, while still smiling and congratulating non-stop: "Congratulations master, madam has added a big fat boy to you."

"Oh, okay, okay." Shen Jingcheng agreed, his heart skipped a beat, and he strode quickly into the courtyard, heading directly to the backyard.

I don't know if that little thing made Ah Jin suffer?
In the room, Gu Jin was grinning and breastfeeding the baby. She thought giving birth would be enough pain, but she didn't expect that breastfeeding would be so tortured.

The cook said that it would be good when all her milk came down, but she felt that it was too painful.

Actually speaking, this child is quite easy to take care of, as long as he is full, he basically does not cry, but this kid is a big eater, and the breast milk she is so happy with is simply not enough to eat, and this kid will cry when he is not full Howling, that voice was as loud as thunder, and it always came out suddenly without making a sound, which scared her every time.

Shen Jingcheng came in at this time, and saw her frowning and closing her eyes, breastfeeding the child with a painful expression on her face.

"What's the matter?" Shen Jingcheng came to the kang with a few steps, and asked worriedly.

When Gu Jin heard his voice, he opened his eyes suddenly, seeing the man he hadn't seen for a long time, he forgot the pain, and his eyes were full of joy: "Are you back?"

"En." Shen Jingcheng rubbed his head against her forehead intimately, and immediately smelled a scent of milk in his nose, couldn't help but look down at the boy in her arms who forgot to nurse because he was close, and asked: " What happened to you just now? Did this kid bite you?"

Gu Jin shook her head when she heard the words, and the little thing in her arms seemed to have just come to her senses, and she started to eat again, which made her gasp again in pain, and said a little worriedly: "No, he is still alive now. No teeth yet, just started breastfeeding, it hurts."

"Oh." Shen Jingcheng nodded understandingly, looked down at the boy who didn't know how to be polite, couldn't help frowning, and reached out to poke his face: "Boy, eat slowly, don't you see your mother hurting?" ?”

However, this toothless person simply ignored it and ate whatever he wanted.

After finally waiting for him to eat and drink enough to let go, Shen Jingcheng saw that Gu Jin's little cherry, which was much bigger than before, was bloodshot, and his heart ached immediately.

"How can I do this? Why don't you find a nanny, it's too much to suffer." Shen Jingcheng wanted to reach out to touch her, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to do it.

"The cook said it was like this at the beginning, and it will get better slowly." Gu Jin took a clean soft cloth and wiped it carefully, put down the clothes, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I've already suffered. Isn’t the crime of finding a wet nurse for nothing? I’d better feed myself.”

Shen Jingcheng felt a little flustered when he heard her say this, and was about to persuade her, when Gu Jin's personal maid came in and said that Uncle Zhang had already made the hot water.

Shen Jingcheng looked at the dust on his body, immediately left the kang, and said: "Then I'll wash up first, and come back later."

"Yeah." Gu Jin nodded.

It is indeed time for Shen Jingcheng to wash, his body smells bad.

When he came back after washing, Gu Jin had already finished feeding the child. At this time, she was lying on her side with her back against the soft quilt, and the child was sleeping peacefully beside her.

Seeing this scene, Shen Jingcheng felt like laughing for no reason, he just thought she looked better like this.

"I'm asleep." Shen Jingcheng came to the kang carefully, looked at the little thing with his hands next to his head as if he was surrendering, and said guiltily: "It's my fault for making you suffer. Couldn't be by your side."

"There's no way around it." Gu Jin smiled softly, and asked him softly, "How are you? How did you do in the exam? Are you in good health?"

"The second-best rank is in the middle, it just doesn't attract attention, and I'm in good health, nothing happened, don't worry." Shen Jingcheng moved the child's small bag to one side, and stepped forward to hug her in his arms In the middle of the day, he sniffed the milky fragrance all over her body contentedly, and talked to her about the capital.

And Gu Jin also talked about what happened at home after he left, mainly because the Gu family went to the next county.

Shen Jingcheng frowned when he heard that, Gu Changping could give up his family business and leave Shimu Village. It seems that Gu Dani and Gu Ling'er have had a lot of trouble these years!
But... the next county!

It's only fifty or sixty miles away from them, I hope they can stay in the next county in peace, don't run around!
The two of them just talked quietly one by one, and they didn't fall asleep until the night was getting dark.

Unexpectedly, not long after the two of them fell asleep, the little thing suddenly groaned, Gu Jin woke up from his sleep, and Shen Jingcheng also opened his eyes and sat up in surprise.

After Gu Jin woke up, clutching her beating heart, she touched the child as usual, dragged her into her arms, closed her eyes and began to feed him.

And Shen Jingcheng looked at Gu Jin who was feeding the child with his eyes closed, and gave the little thing an annoyed look.

What kind of child is this, who is scared by such a sudden voice in the middle of the night?

　①There is such a custom in some places, if there is a newborn in the family, the boy’s red cloth is tied outside the gate, and the girl’s is tied on the door of the house, but now it’s the same, regardless of gender, the red cloth is tied outside the door
