The Young Lady of the General’s House

After finishing the last stitch, Shen Jinxiu carefully cut the embroidery thread and checked his face carefully before a smile appeared on his face.

The girl who had been guarding her side smiled and said, "The girl embroiders so well, the princess will love it."

Shen Jin pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't take the maid's words seriously. If she is such a good one, then what is the embroidered embroidery from the palace?

But Concubine Chen heard the maid’s voice and opened the curtain to come in, and said, "It's ready for embroidery, let me see."

"Mother." Shen Jin stepped aside when he heard the words, and asked with some anxiety, "I don't know if the mother concubine will like it."

"Stupid girl." Concubine Chen took a look in the room, and let the people who were serving her go down, leaving her close-fitting mother Li, and then took her daughter's hand and said, "The princess was born in the Zhao family, and she married the prince Rui. What kind of good things have you never seen? No matter how delicate the embroidery is, how can you do it."

Shen Jin bit her lower lip, and she immediately understood what her mother meant. Sending the princess to the princess was just a gift. Chen Bianfei sighed, "I blame my mother for not being able to live up to it. If... you don't have to learn at a young age. These ones."

"Mother." Shen Jin snuggled into the arms of Concubine Chen and said softly, "Daughter is not young anymore."

Concubine Chen side smiled and nodded Shen Jin's head, "Well, go outside and look at the flowers and plants. The princess sent me two pots of peony today. The color is very beautiful."

"Okay." Shen Jin was very young and just when he loved to play, he smiled and got up from Concubine Chen's arms and said, "Then I can go to the garden for a while?"

"Go ahead." Concubine Chen doesn't like to leave the yard herself, but doesn't restrict her to her daughter.

Shen Jin asked the maid to go outside to see the flowers. When Shen Jin left, the smile on Concubine Chen’s face disappeared. She looked at the veil her daughter embroidered and sighed slowly. I finished what I had just said, "It's all my fault that I couldn't live up to the prince's liking, so Jinniang had to find a way to please others at a young age, the Xu family... forget it."

As the only brother of the Sage, the Royal Palace is not only very large but also very beautiful. Shen Jin’s favorite is the small pavilion built in the middle of the lake. Especially in June, the lotus in the pond has just opened. Cute.

Unfortunately today, there is already someone in the pavilion. It is the eldest sister of the princess's concubine, Shen Qi. Shen Jin hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to step forward and disturb, but the big maid next to Shen Qi came over and invited him. Shen Jin went in.

"Why don't you come here?" Shen Qi beckoned when she saw Shen Jin, told her to sit next to him, took a piece of yam red bean cake and put it in Shen Jin's hand before asking.

Shen Jin peeled off the outer layer of glutinous rice paper and said with a smile, "Because I don't know what the eldest sister is doing, I am afraid that it will disturb the eldest sister's interest."

Shen Qi smiled. She was the eldest in the family. There were only four younger sisters below. This third younger sister was the most gentle and cautious, just like the little white rabbit she had raised before. Not only was she soft and courageous, she was also very small. But no wonder she, who made Concubine Chen in the palace like a transparent person, not leaving the yard easily.

The cakes made in Wangfei’s small kitchen are very delicious. The yam and red bean cakes still have a bit of milky flavor but are not greasy at all. Shen Jin eats happily. His eyes become crooked when he sees them. Those troubles were gone, and after Shen Jin finished eating, he took another piece for her.

In exchange, Shen Jin smiled sweetly, "Thank you, eldest sister."

Shen Qi squeezed Shen Jin's face, as expected, "eat it."

"It turns out that the eldest sister and the third sister are hiding here and whispering." Shen Zi saw Shen Qi and Shen Jin from afar, and immediately brought her younger sister to calm down, wearing a red dress with scattered flowers and a pure gold phoenix hairpin on her head. The hairpin is inlaid with dazzling rubies. It is obviously Huayan's dress, but it does not look vulgar. On the contrary, Shen Zi is a little more eye-catching beauty. It is not difficult to imagine how old it will be to wait for Shen Zi to be a few years old. All the country and the city.

And Shen Jing walking on the right side of Shen Zi, wearing a long bi-colored dress, wearing a pearl swaying, although not as dazzling as Shen Zi, but a little more delicate.

Seeing the two, Shen Jin quickly put down the half-eaten pastry and stood up, first shouted, "Second sister, fourth sister."

Compared with Shen Zi and Shen Jing, Shen Jin’s beautiful appearance is not enough, but she has followed her birth mother, her skin is white, tender and slippery, and she has a pair of round apricot eyes, which are all peach-eyed in the Shen family. It's extremely rare, especially her eyes are very moist and clear, as if to soften people's hearts. At first glance, they are not as good as her sisters, but they are very painful, and they become more pleasing to the eyes after a long time.

After a few people greeted them, they sat down. Shen Qi told the maid to serve tea to the two of them. Then he said, "There are a few new snacks in the kitchen. You can try them too." Just saying this, it didn't seem to say to Shen. Jin personally took it to them like that.

"Thank you, big sister." Shen Jing first took a piece of flower-shaped pastry and smiled.

Shen Jin only assumed that he hadn’t heard the meaning of Shen Jing’s words. He took half of the pastry he had just eaten and continued to sit and gnaw slowly, occasionally squeezing some scraps to feed the fish in the lake, watching a group of beautifully colored fish. The scramble is particularly interesting, just like the sisters and sisters in the family.

Shen Zi took a sip of tea and suddenly saw the coral string on Shen Qi’s wrist. He looked up at Shen Qi’s ear. It turned out to be a matching coral earring. She heard that the palace had come to appreciate a set of red coral jewelry. She acted like a baby and wanted to take care of King Rui, but King Rui didn't agree with her, but didn't want to see it on Shen Qi today, still wearing it so casually.

Shen Zi's eyes were too explicit, not to mention that she had been carefully paying attention to Shen Jin around him. Even Shen Qi, who was not very caring about these two concubine sisters, had noticed it, and it was clear when he swept his eyes on his wrist. I couldn't help sneering in my heart, put down the ball fan in my hand, took off the string directly, pulled Shen Jin's soft hand, and wrapped it around her in circles, "I'll see that the color on your body is a little bit pigmented, and this string will be given to you. Let's play."

Shen Jin couldn't help crying secretly in her heart. She hid to the side to feed the fish, how could she still be involved, but at this time she didn't have much to say, just raised her wrist and shook it, and the red coral bead was put on her hand. Don't mention how pretty, he said cheerfully, "Thank you eldest sister, I liked it very much when I saw it." Anyway, this bunch of pieces belonged to her, and she had already offended Shen Zi, so it's not good to offend Shen Qi again.

"The third sister really knows the goods. This thing is a rare treasure in the palace." Shen Zi tightly squeezed the veil in his hand, obviously anxious, with a smile on his face, "You have to put it away carefully. Lost it, I am afraid that the side concubine has never seen such a good color."

This is sour, Shen Jin feels toothache, but the second sister really likes red things, so she almost dressed herself as a lantern.

Shen Qi smiled, "People like us don't want anything, and the color of this thing is not bad. When I lose it, I will find a better one for my third sister." The implication is ironic on Shen Zi's eyelids. shallow.

Shen Zi's expression changed, and he smiled suddenly, "The eldest sister taught me, but I heard that the mother and concubine are telling her sister about marriage. It's not that the mother and concubine specially prepared to let..."

Shen Jin's eyes widened. Why didn't she know about this? It turned out that the eldest sister was about to talk about marriage, so it was not right to wait. This is not something their girls can say. If the princess finds out, she will be punished severely.

Sure enough, Shen Qi frowned, and Shen Jing realized that it was not good, so he hurriedly pulled Shen Zi's sleeves, Shen Zi didn't care, and then said, "Let my sister be happy?"

"Come here." Shen Qi said calmly without any anger, "Tie me all the maids around the second sister." After speaking, she stood up, Shen Jin only felt bad luck today, and nothing came out. What I did this time, I was afraid that it would cause trouble to his mother again. Shen Qi was naturally not afraid of Shen Zi and the others, but Shen Jin was afraid, and the princess would not let this opportunity pass, not only the wife beside her second sister. Maid, even Concubine Xu will be punished.

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Shen Zi stood up angrily, and said anxiously. If Shen Qi tied the people around him today, she was afraid that she would become a joke in the house tomorrow.

Shen Jing said quickly, "Eldest sister, second sister, she's just joking, let the second sister give you a match, then forget it."

Shen Zi didn't even look at them, and walked out with the hand of the maid. "Second sister, I still go to my mother's place." Then he glanced at Shen Jin, and saw that Shen Jin's eyes were round, as if he was suffering. The scared little animal couldn't help but soften, and said softly, "The third sister and the fourth sister will go back first."

Shen Jin immediately said, "Yes." Turning around and going out, maybe because he felt bad, he stopped and said, "The eldest sister, the second sister, and the fourth sister, I'll go first." After that, Shen Qi nodded. , And left with the maid.

Shen Jing thought about it for a while, and decided to go back to find his mother to rescue the scene first, and after secretly winking Shen Zi, then left.

In fact, Shen Jin was so regretful that she went directly to the main house to find Concubine Chen, and ignoring the maid in the house, she got into her mother's arms, hugged her mother's waist tightly, and her little nose was moving and smelling her body. The faint scent gave me a sigh of relief. I still need to remind my mother about this matter. When Chen Bianfei saw her daughter come back, she plunged into her arms, and reached out to touch her daughter gently on her back, and ordered Said, "Mama Li will go and add a cup of honey."

"Mother, I was just..." Shen Jin whispered the matter again, then took the string that was still in her hand and put it in Chen Fangfei's hand, and asked, "What should I do?"

Concubine Chen also hated in her heart that the eldest girl and the second girl were fighting, but she wanted to involve her daughter in any way she did. I am afraid that when she goes to the study tomorrow, her daughter will be wronged again. The second girl also has no long memory, Xu Bianfei. No matter how spoiled, it is the princess who is in charge of this backyard.

But at this time, it’s hard to say that again, lest the daughter just say, “Don’t be afraid, today’s things have nothing to do with you. Since this bead is a gift from the older girl, you can wear it. I haven’t seen it yet. The coral skewers in such a beautiful color match your newly made goose yellow skirt."

Shen Jin came out of her mother's arms and drank half a cup of honey water, "I also think it's very beautiful. By the way, that yam red bean cake is delicious."

"Silly girl, if you like, let the kitchen make something and send it to you today." Chen Fangfei squeezed her daughter's earlobe and said with a smile.

Just as Shen Jin wanted to say a few more words, he saw Li Ma coming in from the outside, with some worry in his eyes, "Madam, the princess sent someone to invite the third girl over, saying that he wanted to ask a few words."

"Mother?" Shen Jin bit her pink lips.

Concubine Chen patted her hand, "Don't panic, what the princess asks, you just tell the truth." After thinking about it, she didn't worry, got up and took her daughter's hand, "I'll go with you."
