First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 270
Xiangru quickly brought up red bean and barley soup.

Mrs. Shen personally took the bowl and brought it to the kang table, and said softly, "This soup tastes good, I drank a bowl by myself, it's not very sweet...Master also taste it while it's hot."

Song Jinze nodded with a smile, took the spoon and drank.

Mrs. Shen accompanied her with a smile, thinking about what Fu Rong said earlier, while silently bending down to take off Song Jinze's shoes and socks, laying his legs flat on the hot kang, she also took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang, Kneeling and kneading beside Song Jinze.

Song Jinze enjoyed such tranquility and peace, and couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed and comfortable on his expression.

Hearing Shen's soft voice ask, "I still think about the weather like today, the master will come back sooner...but what's the delay?"

Song Jinze, who was still smiling a moment ago, gradually withdrew his smile, fiddled with the hot soup in the bowl with a spoon, but said nothing.

Shen's heart is clear, but she just does not know, kneading her hands without stopping.

After a while, Song Jinze sighed and said calmly, "It turned out that the boss came to see me tonight...to talk for a while."

Shen was startled, raised her head to look at him, and then smiled, "No wonder." She stopped asking.

Song Jinze put down the bowl and took her hand, "Why don't you ask me what's the matter?"

Shen stared at him with feigned resentment, and said in a dispirited voice, "If I should let the concubine know, I will tell the master myself even if I don't ask the master... Since the master doesn't want to say it, the concubine will not offend me!" I want to pull my hand.

Song Jinze grasped it, and said amusedly, "Where is it so annoying?" He pulled her into his arms and said softly, "Don't be too busy, come and talk to me."

Shen shi made a gesture and broke free twice, before pouting and snuggling into his arms.

"It's not that I don't want you to know..." Song Jinze said in a deep voice, "In fact, this matter is related to the inner house, and I want to hear what you mean."

Shen was slightly startled, and then restrained her previous disapproval, and asked curiously, "I don't know what the master is talking about?"

"Boss came to see me today..." Song Jinze stroked her arm, and said slowly, "He said he wanted to find a job outside, and go out to practice for a few years..."

Shen was taken aback for a moment, looked at Song Jinze in surprise, and hesitated to speak.

Song Jinze smiled and stroked his wife's porcelain-white cheeks, "It's an old couple's life... If you have anything to say, just say it."

Chen smiled shyly, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "Actually, I don't really understand the affairs of the officialdom... It's just that I'm thinking about it. He was born in the Hanlin Academy, even if he stays in the capital, he will have a lot to do in the future, so why bother to go to the local government to undergo those trainings? Besides, even if he really wants to go out and broaden his horizons, he shouldn't be in a hurry. Otherwise, with his current qualifications, if he wants to find a decent job, I'm afraid—"

Her voice paused, and seeing that Song Jinze was frowning tightly, she stopped talking and said with a shy smile, "But these are all the views of a concubine's wife. Brother Xun of our family had big ideas when he was young. With this plan, it must have been carefully considered, and I think it will be more beneficial to his official career."

It was fine if she didn't say that, but after she finished speaking, Song Jinze's face became so dark that water dripped down from her face.

"It's true to be thoughtful," he sneered, and said with a livid face, "it's a pity that he didn't think about his future career at all."

Seeing the puzzled look on Shen's face, Song Jinze sighed, embraced her again, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you want to be a foreigner because you are that evil?"

Shen frowned and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, she couldn't help but whispered, "I don't think I want to bring Du Shi..."

Song Jinze nodded disdainfully, and said with a sneer, "Earlier, I heard that the girl from the Du family was domineering, capricious, and not a good match for a man. The incitement made the boss even dare to disobey me, which shows that he is really not a virtuous person."

Shen immediately sat up from his arms, glanced at him faintly, and said aggrievedly, "Master's words, are you blaming my concubine for making this marriage too hasty?"

Song Jinze hurriedly pulled her back, and comforted her, "You are so careless, you like to take everything on yourself... I think their Du family is a scholarly family, and the eldest daughter-in-law is usually a good one, so who can do it?" Can you expect such a temperament? I know that you chose thousands of choices for Zixun's marriage back then, and worked so hard...I don't mean to blame you. Don't think wildly."

Shen glared at him coquettishly and angrily, then leaned into Song Jinze's arms again, "It's good that the master knows." She spoke softly, "In fact, thinking about it, Du's child is also very pitiful. Little Having experienced the pain of bereavement at a young age, and after so long of recuperation, his body has not improved, and Brother Xun feels very sorry for him... It may be that Mrs. Du's character is not good... Master's words are too serious."

Song Jinze waved his hands disapprovingly, "At this time, you don't have to cover up for her. If she really knows the rules and knows how to advance and retreat, how can she hide for half a year under the pretext of being sick, and now she just hides in the countryside! "Song Jinze said coldly, "Don't you think that I don't know——did you ask your mother beforehand about her going to the countryside to recuperate?"

Shen's expression froze, and it took a while before she forced a smile, and said sadly, "Look at what the master said... Mrs. Du's going to the countryside to recuperate is the old lady's permission, why do you need to ask my concubine again?" She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice. , "Furthermore, the concubine's body is separated from her by a layer. It's understandable that she is like this..."

"Nonsense. You are their mother. If you let her do anything, how can you get past you?" Song Jinze held Shen's hand and sighed, "It's difficult for stepmother... I also know that it is very difficult for you. The child is not worried since he was a child, and his mother often blames him...Although you never mention it, I can see it. I have really wronged you these years."

Shen's eyes suddenly became hot, and she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a choked smile, "With the words of the master, no matter how wronged I am, I will have no complaints..." She said and put her face on the pillow. On Song Jinze's chest, he was silent for a long while before he tentatively said, "Then this time about Brother Xun... the master intends to..."

Song Jinze embraced his wife with one hand, and rubbed the center of his brows wearily with the other, "Actually, it's okay to let him go out to practice for a few years... If he doesn't have to be tortured, I'm afraid this brat will never know how high the sky is and how low the earth is." How thick." He paused, "As for Mrs. Du...do you think it's feasible to let her follow you?"
