The Young Lady of the General’s House

Chapter Forty-Three

Shen Zi took a sip of the rose clear dew and wiped the corners of his mouth with the kerchief. Then he said, "Yes, even though they are all relatives, they have to avoid suspicion. You are also very particular about it."

Shen Qi smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, Shen Zi looked at Shen Jin and said, "Third sister, first tell your sisters if Yong Ningbo is extraordinarily scary? After all, he is a relative, in case we meet... It's always bad to be out of shape, I'm nothing, but I heard that Yonglehou is grumpy..."Shen Zi suddenly looked at Shen Jin with a look of horror, "Will the third sister hit you?"

Shen Jin looked at Shen Zi, and after thinking about it, he persuaded, "Second Sister, let's hear less of the rumors."

Shen Zi only thought that he had hit Shen Jin’s sore spot, and smiled more brilliantly. She was the best-looking one of the few sisters. This smile really felt like a scorching sun. "Three sisters, anyway, I’m back now anyway. Once you’re in the capital, your father will naturally be the master... But since you’ve been married, don’t feel wronged. It’s true that you can live your life well."

Shen Jin said, "Well, I will live a good life, in fact, my husband is really very good."

Shen Zi sneered.

Shen Qi also said, "Without the humility of the second sister, the third sister would not have such a good marriage, so the third sister would have to thank the second sister."

"Oh." Shen Jin looked at Shen Qi. She used to listen to her eldest sister the most, so she really got up and said, "Thank you, second sister."

There was some suspicion in Shen Zi's eyes, and she looked at Shen Qi. Shen Qi took Shen Jin's hand and let her sit back next to her. He just glanced at Shen Zi and smiled, "I just hope that the second sister will not regret it in the future."

Shen Jin looked at Shen Zi and then at Shen Qi decisively leaning against Shen Qi's side, and whispered, "Why does the second elder sister regret it?"

"It doesn't need to be later." Shen Qi shook Shen Jin's hand and frowned slightly. Although he felt that the feeling on Shen Jin's hand was not as delicate as when he was in Beijing, he didn't say it, just smiled, "My sister will know in a moment. ."

Shen Jin responded and did not ask any more. Shen Zi looked at the two of them, narrowed his eyes and changed his posture a little irritably. Did they know about the Zheng family? will not! Marrying into the Zheng family was her choice. The Zheng family was the most expensive, better than marrying in a place like a border town, and how could Yongningbo be better than Zheng Jiaqu.

"Big sister, I just got some good bird's nests, it is the most nourishing, I will give you some tomorrow." Said her eyes and looked up at Shen Qi's belly, "In fact, the big sister is still young, so you don't need to worry so much. ."

Shen Qi's face remained the same, but he just smiled, "Just forget the bird's nest, there are many things in the mansion, I don't like to eat those things, but if the second sister is really interested, it is better to send a few poetry collections of the second brother-in-law? I heard that the prince is It’s just for someone to buy it."

"What collection of poems?" Shen Jin really didn't know, and it was inevitable to be a little curious after hearing this. "Moreover, the prince asked people to buy a collection of poems, why do you know?"

Shen Qi gave a chuckle, looked at Shen Zi with an ugly expression, and said, "What is the name of the collection of poems, "Song of Flowers". It is divided into seeing flowers, admiring flowers, cherishing flowers, pitying flowers, loving flowers, sighing about flowers In part, it is said that the rhetoric is gorgeous and widely sung."

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Shen Jin said with some confusion, "but I just returned to Beijing, I'm afraid I don't know, then the second sister will give me a copy too."

If it weren’t for saneness, Shen Zi almost lifted everything on the table. When Shen Jing and Shen Rong came over, they saw the second sister of their compatriots sitting aside with an ugly expression, while Shen Qi was pulling Shen Jin to ask for warmth. , The two looked at each other and sat beside Shen Zi after saluting.

When Shen Zi saw the two younger sisters, he took a deep breath and exhaled it before he calmed down. He turned his eyes and asked, "Have you seen the three brother-in-laws?"

"No." It was Shen Rong who answered, she whispered, "My concubine sent someone to call me and my fourth elder sister to talk to the three elder sisters."

Shen Zi couldn't swallow this breath, but she knew that the Zheng family was inferior to Yongle Houfu and Yongning Bofu in power, and the only things that could be used to comfort her were the rumors of Yongningbo, so she deliberately said, "I'll see you later. With your three brother-in-laws, don’t make a fuss and lose the face of the palace."

Shen Rong's heart shuddered, but she said with a bit of confusion on her face, "Second sister, don't worry, we've seen the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law a long time ago, and the third brother-in-law..." Hanzo's.

It's a pity that Shen Jin didn't notice the expression in Shen Rong's eyes, and there was no tacit understanding. She was talking to Shen Qi in a low voice about the biscuits from the old man Qiao's house in the border town. An angry Shen Qi has been teaching her, "I told you everything. How many times have you stopped eating outside, in case it becomes unclean? If you really want to eat it, let the servants in the residence study it, or invite someone to the residence to do it, and you even let someone brush it in the cake. Sweet chili sauce?"

Just now Shen Qi asked her how she used it in the border town. Shen Jin missed her lips for a while, and she was about to cry by Shen Qi, "Sister, I don’t dare anymore, I haven’t eaten much..."

Shen Rong held her breath in her heart and looked at Shen Zi. She saw that Shen Zi's expression became more ugly, but Shen Jing suddenly said, "Three sisters, there have been a lot of rumors about the third brother-in-law recently. Which ones are true and which are false? If you have any difficulties, please talk to the sisters. After all, we are all a family, and here is the third sister's natal family."

Hearing this, Shen Qi didn't train Shen Jin for the time being. He looked at Shen Rong, and Shen Jin also looked at him, then turned to look at Shen Qi and asked, "Big sister, are the nurses that the mother and concubine had asked for in the first place? "

"At the beginning, my mother said that she was going to provide for the elderly care for several mothers, so they were all in the house." Shen Qi smiled and looked at Shen Jing as he said.

Shen Jin nodded, as if asking casually, and then stopped saying anything, and continued to talk to Shen Qi, "Except for the biscuits of the old man Qiao's house, the pastries made by Mother Zhao are also very delicious."

"Then I will go to Yongning Bo's Mansion another day, and I must taste it then." Shen Qi didn't look at them again, and continued to pull Shen Jin and said, "Is the master of your mansion still enough? I know a few people. It's not bad."

"Enough." Shen Jin's sentence just now seemed to be a random question, and she continued to chat with Shen Qi affectionately.

Shen Qi also told Shen Jin a lot of things in the capital.

Shen Zi, Shen Jing, and Shen Rong felt that the three of them were obviously more of them, but in front of the two of them, they seemed extraordinarily...not confident? There is even some extra feeling.

When Cuixi came over, she saw that Shen Jin was still leaning against Shen Qi as if she hadn't gotten married, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then she said respectfully, "A few girls, the princess invites you to come over."

"Okay." Shen Qi smiled, "Let's go." After speaking, he got up and looked at Shen Jin. When Shen Jin also stood up, the two men walked out together.

The three of Shen Zi followed behind, but they didn't dare to say anything, after all, Cui Xi was the most useful person next to Princess Rui.

When a few people arrived, they saw Princess Rui sitting upright. After the salute, Princess Rui smiled, "Sit down."

"Yes." Shen Qi pulled Shen Jin and sat beside Princess Rui, and the remaining three people sat down one by one.

Concubine Rui glanced at it and didn't say anything, but just smiled, "The prince took his two sons and three sons-in-laws to the end of the competition. Asking you to come is to ask if you want to see the fun?"

Shen Zi's face turned pale and said, "How is this good? My husband is the least good at martial arts, the third brother-in-law...what if I lose my sense of action when I really do it?"

"No." Shen Jin comforted, "Second elder sister, don't worry, the husband is the most reasonable, besides, unless they are equally matched, the husband will not do their best."

Is this really comfort? Shen Qi didn't think anything, even if Yongle Hou Shizi was taught a lesson, it was good. He just asked, "Why would the father want to end the competition? Who suggested it?"

Princess Rui smiled and glanced at Cuixi, Cuixi said, "The slave servant said that it was the second uncle's suggestion that the six arts of gentleman are proficient in everything."

Shen Zi twitched his eyes, and said quietly, "The second brother-in-law is also true. Since you know that the third brother-in-law guards the border all the time, how can you mention the Six Arts of Gentlemen?"

Shen Jin nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the second brother-in-law is really..." He shook his head as he said, "My husband has practiced murderous martial arts." Then he looked at Shen Zi, who was pale, and assured Shen Qi, "Don't worry, the husband is well-measured." Although Shen Jin can't say that he understands Chu Xiuming, he knows that Chu Xiuming will not leave anything behind. The first time he came to the Royal Palace of Rui, he injured King Rui and his two brother-in-laws? This is not Chu Xiuming's style.

Shen Qi smiled and said, "I naturally don't worry."

Shen Jin smiled when he saw it, "Well, my husband doesn't use his full strength, so he can move freely." Then he looked at Princess Rui, "Mother, I am married and I shouldn't ask more about the mansion, but... Are there any mothers teaching the fourth and fifth sisters?"

Princess Rui raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Jin, then glanced at Shen Jing and Shen Rong, and said, "Not long after you got married, Concubine Xu asked the prince. Although the maids stayed in the house, they never taught the four girls anymore. With five girls."

Shen Jin moved her mouth in a bit embarrassed manner, and didn't say anything, but Shen Qi said without so much scruples, "Mother and concubine, let the mother teach the two younger sisters again, and the people around the two younger sisters should also be good. Clean up, how can you tell them some messy rumors outside? The two sisters are not too young anymore."

Shen Jing and Shen Rong now knew why Shen Jin would ask, they turned white and looked at Shen Zi. Shen Zi thought that the two younger sisters were arranged by mothers, but they were anxious but didn't know what to say.

Concubine Rui didn't ask any more, she just nodded and said, "Okay, it's all from my own family. I will eat together in a while."

"Yes." Several people responded.

Although it was the end of the competition, it was like what Shen Jin said. Chu Xiuming still kept his hands. At least none of these people had injuries. Except for some embarrassment on their clothes, they were not a big deal. After all, people like them always go out. I will prepare two extra clothes to avoid accidents.

Chu Xiuming also changed into a brocade robe and tied it with a jade crown. No one could connect him with the murderous Yong Ningbo.

When the banquet was set up, Princess Rui took her five daughters to the dining room. Shen Zi looked at Shen Jin walking next to Princess Rui, and sneered in her heart. It was settled, and she would lose face to Na Yongningbo. , Yongningbo has a violent temper. If he gets angry in the mansion and goes back, Shen Jin will look good.

Shen Zi glanced at the two younger sisters, Shen Jing lowered her eyes slightly, and Shen Rong bit her lip and nodded slightly.

In the dining room, Rui Wang was full of joy and pulled Chu Xiuming to speak, and Shen Xi was full of admiration. Shen Xuan stood by to entertain the Yongle Hou Shizi and Zheng family eldest son.

When he heard the maid's message, King Rui smiled, "Xiuming is here for the first time, so I will definitely have to drink a few more glasses later."

"What the father-in-law said." Chu Xiuming is gentle and gentle, with picturesque eyes and a bit of cold and noble air. "I have heard my wife say that the sisters in the house have excellent feelings, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law have also taught me carefully.

"Ah... ghost..."

Before Chu Xiuming's words were finished, there was a woman's scream and a soft cry from the door, "It's scary..."

Princess Rui, who was walking in front, was taken aback, not to mention Shen Jin and Shen Qi. Both of them were stunned for a while before turning their heads to look over. Shen Rong was hiding in Shen Jing’s arms, and Shen Zi was holding it with one hand. With her lips full of horror, she seemed to have seen something scary. She also embraced the two younger sisters in her arms in love with her sisters. She lowered her head and never dared to look at the hall again, but Shen Jing stared at the hall with wide-eyed eyes. There is no blood on the face of the person in it.

Shen Jin looked confused. He looked at everyone in the hall, then at the three sisters, Shen Zi, and at the sun in the sky. Xing's eyes were full of puzzlement. Even if there are ghosts, it is impossible for them to come out in the sky?

Concubine Rui understood, a trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and Shen Qi sneered, but said nothing.
