The Young Lady of the General’s House

The gift Shen Jin was about to send to the capital could not go with the post, so after choosing the things, he wrote the gift list and the letter together, sealed the letter, and then Shen Jin went to clean his hands and eat. Red dates.

These red dates were not pitted in advance. Shen Jin specifically requested it. She likes to slowly nibble off the thick flesh of the dates and then put the date pits in her mouth. The date pits are closely attached to a layer of flesh, and I don’t know if it’s right. An illusion, Shen Jin always feels that the taste of that layer of pulp is sweeter.

Since Mother Zhao came, Shen Jin has not eaten red dates with pits. It is like in Ruiwang's Mansion in Beijing that no matter what fruit is eaten, the kitchen is first cut into small pieces and can only be eaten with silver signatures. The whole thing that can be eaten is oranges and lychees. It is also very particular. It needs to be covered by the sleeves and spit into the handkerchief, which is extraordinarily troublesome, and behaviors such as containing nuclei are absolutely not allowed.

Today, the red dates were not nucleated. At first, Shen Jin thought that Mother Zhao had forgotten, so she peeked at Mother Zhao, and saw that Mother Zhao didn’t pay attention to packing up other things, so she narrowed her eyes and contained the date pits. In his mouth, he took another red date and continued to chew, and then hide a few date pits on the left and some date pits on the right. I didn't feel that I was shaking my calf, not to mention how beautiful.

Grandma Zhao looked in the bottom of her eyes and cleaned up her hands. If the general hadn't specifically mentioned it today, I'm afraid Shen Jin would still not be able to eat such red dates.

But when she watched Shen Jin eat one, she glanced at her secretly. When she moved a little, Shen Jin's mouth immediately stopped moving, even the embroidered shoes with small beads on her feet were not shaken, Mother Zhao I would never admit that she deliberately walked twice in front of Shen Jin.

"Madam, I'll just vomit if you are pregnant." Madam Zhao said suddenly before leaving the study to open the door to Anping, and then glanced at the bowl that was half missing, "The first few should have no sweetness anymore, right? ."

Shen Jin's eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly and then closed immediately, subconsciously licking the date pits, staring blankly at Mother Zhao leaving.

When Mother Zhao came in with Anping, she saw Shen Jin blushing, and the jujube pits were spit out into a slap-sized bowl, and the bowl containing the red jujube was placed on the desk side by side.

"Anping, have they finished writing the memorial?" Shen Jin asked without waiting for Mother Zhao and the others to speak.

Anping didn’t know what had just happened in the study, and said, “I didn’t write it properly. The slave and maid had sent meals to the two adults. At this time, the two adults were eating.” The remaining horse meat in the kitchen was marinated too salty. No one wanted to eat it, so it happened to be stewed and sent to the two messengers and the people they brought.

Shen Jin frowned and said, "How come I have written six or seven letters for so long, and they haven't finished writing a memorial."

An Ping smiled, "I'm afraid that the two adults don't know how to write, after all, they just arrived in the border town and don't understand the situation here."

Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "That's right. It is a big crime to deceive the emperor. If you write indiscriminately, they will also bear the responsibility. So, mother, ask your husband if he has any subordinates with better literary talents. Let them Write a copy to the two adults, and the two adults just need to modify it and copy it again."

Madam Zhao responded respectfully. In fact, she still underestimated the wife. Although the wife was confused on trivial matters, she was able to distinguish the major ones clearly, "Old slave, here is going."

Shen Jin hurriedly nodded and said, "Mother, by the way, let someone pass a message to the two adults. I'll see them when I wake up."

"Yes." Madam Zhao responded, and she retired when she saw that Shen Jin had no other instructions.

Shen Jin heard the sound of closing the door, he was relieved, and beckoned to Anping and said, "Come on, today's dates are sweet."

An Ping said with a smile, "Why does Madam look guilty?"

"I didn't vomit the date nucleus and the mother found it, but it was really time for you to come in Anping, and I gave the mother out again. When the night is at night, the mother will forget about it and won't talk about me anymore. "Shen Jin said smugly.

Does Anping think that Grandma Zhao will forget, besides, is it true that Grandma Zhao left the date kernels on purpose?

Mother Zhao silently retracted her hand that was about to knock on the door. Before she left the door, she remembered that she had forgotten to take Shen Jin to write a letter to be sent through the station. Who knew that she had heard this, and she shouldn’t hug her. Too much hope? With a silent sigh, Grandma Zhao thought she would let a little girl come and fetch it.

Because Mother Zhao was not there, Shen Jin and Anping happily ate the remaining red dates. Anping waited on Shen Jin to rinse his mouth and couldn't help asking, "I heard that every time the imperial examination, the champion, the second-place winner, and the prospective scholar will have hairpins. Huayoujie?"

"Yes." Shen Jin put on soft sleeping shoes and sat on the bed holding the quilt. Her quilt was still married from the capital. Concubine Chen Fang embroidered her with two koi carps. Chen Fang The concubine's embroidery skills are very good, but it is a pity that Shen Jin did not inherit this point.

"Let's talk more." Although Anping is steady, but he is not very old, he has never been to the capital, he should be curious about these, but because Shen Jin doesn't go out very much, he is not as good as the frontier city. Familiar, there is really nothing to say, but she knows what Anping asked today.

Shen Jin changed her posture, Anping stuffed her back with a cushion so that she could nest up more comfortably, but Shen Jin did not speak, and his eyes swept across the cushion behind him. Anping said helplessly, "I will do it tomorrow. Sew a big cushion for you, just as you said last time, it's thick and soft against the kind that can let people sink in."

"Okay." Shen Jin said, "Actually, I saw it once. My eldest sister took me there..."

At the door, Chu Xiuming stopped the mother Zhao who was going to report. After making a quiet gesture, he moved a small round chair next to him and sat down at the door of Shen Jin’s bedroom. Actually, Shen Jin and Anping’s voice was not loud, Zhao The mother can only hear a general idea, but Chu Xiuming is clever and perceptive, and because of martial arts training, he is even more keen, so that things are clear.

Grandma Zhao's eyes twitched, and she looked at the expressionless general who was still sitting and eavesdropping. She felt a little sorry for the elder and wife who died young.

"Is the champion really an old man?" Anping asked.

Shen Jin nodded vigorously, "I was also shocked at the time. How long can I be an official even if I am admitted to the top pick? But the chicken made in that restaurant is delicious. It seems to be fried first and then fried. A little bit spicy and sweet, but the eldest sister doesn’t let me eat more spicy, and she said that the outside is not clean, and a few chopsticks are used for one dish, which is very wasteful..." Seeing Anping’s expression, she said helplessly. , "Oh, well, let's talk about the champion, his beard is all white."

Anping was full of curiosity, "Where's the second place? It's impossible to be the old man, right?" He hesitated for a while before asking, "Is that fried chicken really delicious?"

"En." Shen Jin said without hesitation, "I think there may be honey in this dish. It's really good, but my sister didn't eat it... I don't have any impression of it, but I remember to explore the flowers. I heard that Tanhua generally chooses the most handsome."

"Is it really handsome?" Anping asked.

Shen Jin really didn't remember it. Besides, she was sitting on the second floor and couldn't look at the window on her face. She also had to eat a few more bites of spicy chicken before the eldest sister noticed, "It should be."

"Compared with the general?" Anping asked Shen Jin.

Shen Jin said without hesitation, "Of course it is the general."

There was a smile in the eyes of Chu Xiuming who was openly eavesdropping outside the door.

"I didn't see the look of the flower probe clearly." Shen Jin rubbed on the soft cushion and said, "However, I think the general is different from what I imagined!"

Chu Xiuming unconsciously sat up straight.

"I thought the general had a tiger-backed waist, his eyes were like bronze bells, his face was full of beards, and his face was dark and hideous..." Shen Jin summarized all the rumors he heard. A big cup, eat raw meat, and occasionally taste human flesh..."

Grandma Zhao heard it intermittently, but just like that, she walked two steps aside without a trace, a little further away from Chu Xiuming. Next time, she would remind Madam not to mention anyone’s name behind her back. I mentioned it twice in a day, and I was heard by the person involved. What luck.

But Chu Xiuming had a thoughtful look. Isn't what her beautiful lady really described as the monsters and ghosts in Ye Shi's Miscellany?

"Madam, why do you think so?" An Ping looked surprised and looked at Shen Jin in disbelief.

Shen Jin looked at Anping innocently, and said, "I heard more than this. Why are the human skulls under the chairs in Bo Yong Ning Bo's mansion? Yong Ning Bo likes to eat more than one person..."

Anping listened and was gradually attracted, and Chu Xiuming at the door of the house had heard that Shen Jin began to say that mentioning Yongningbo’s name in the capital would stop the child from crying, so he had to stick his portrait on the door as a god-driver. It’s a ghost town. It’s not that I don’t want to post it, but I’ve never seen a real person, so there is no portrait.

Shen Jinzheng said that Chu Xiuming ran into the bandit’s den at night alone. After a roar, all the bandits were so scared that they knelt down and cried and cried out, begging for mercy. Let it go, when the thunderstorm was heavy that day...

The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and both Shen Jin and Anping were taken aback. They saw that the bedroom door was slowly opened. Chu Xiuming, dressed in brocade, was standing at the door, and there was also Zhao Ma with a particularly tangled expression. ma.

Chu Xiuming walked in, first glanced at Anping, Anping immediately stood up and said, "General."

Shen Jin only wore a pink coat under the quilt. She looked at Chu Xiuming and then at Grandma Zhao, her lips moved and asked, "Husband, when did you come here?"

Chu Xiuming did not answer, but looked at Grandma Zhao. Grandma Zhao said, "Madam rests earlier, and the old slave retires first. The old slave will send his wife's letter to the two adults from Beijing, and promise to let him They were sent along with the memorial."

An Ping also reacted and said, "The slave and maid retire." After saying that, she retreated with Madam Zhao, and closed the door intimately.
