The Young Lady of the General’s House

Chapter Forty-Five

Because Shen Zi did a stupid thing, although Princess Rui made an excuse to come back, everyone knew what was going on in their hearts, so they didn’t have dinner at Rui Wang’s Mansion, they just went home with Rui Wang after a conversation. , And Shen Zi was also called back by Princess Rui. She had already re-dressed and dressed up. The bright red gauze dress was embroidered with large peonies, which made her look outstanding. I don’t know if she was really worried about Shen Zi. This sister still has other thoughts, and Shen Jing and Shen Rong have also come out to see each other.

Shen Zi knew that his behavior at noon made Zheng Jiaqu lose face. At this time, he was extra small and considerate. Her natural beauty, and Zheng Jiaqu had just married for less than a year, so Zheng Jiaqu felt angry in her heart. The intention is slightly reduced, and his face is not so ugly.

But when King Rui saw these three daughters, there was still anger in his heart, and his expression brought out some. Princess Rui was still as kind and gentle as before, but after a few words of advice, he asked people to give the prepared things to the three. The daughter and son-in-law just said, "Today is the first time Jin girl returns home after getting married. I am a little bit more eccentric. Don't let your eyes growl."

Shen Zi was still trying to please Zheng Jiaqu. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say anything, but Shen Qi smiled, "Where is my mother, I should be more with my third sister."

Shen Jin stood beside Chu Xiuming and said with a smile, "Big sister, don't be jealous."

"Bad girl." Shen Qi smiled heartily, without the sadness in his eyes, Shen Jin was much harder than herself but lived so well, she can never be better than her younger sister, she just smiled, "Tomorrow Remember to bring brother-in-law to my house."

Yongle Hou Shizi was not confused about major events, and said, "I have a good drink at home and wait for my brother-in-law to come and get drunk."

The corners of Chu Xiuming's lips twitched slightly, and some of the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes was faded away, making it even more like a gentleman who is independent, "Okay." His voice is more pleasant, slightly low with a seductive feeling, Shen Zizhi Feeling that the little hook had lifted her heart up, she couldn't help taking a peek, biting her lip, and she felt unspeakable loss in her heart.

Shen Jing was even more reluctant to be ashamed. Her fingers stirred the embroidered handkerchief, and her eyes flashed. Unexpectedly, Yong Ningbo not only looks good, even his voice is so attractive, but he is also a good man standing upright, guarding the frontier for the country, so When I think about it, my heart is getting more and more touched. Compared with Yong Ning Bo, even Yongle Hou Shizi is a bit less vigorous, and the Grand Master Zheng is even less vigorous.

Shen Xi also said, "Big brother-in-law, I will go too."

"Okay." Yongle Hou Shizi immediately agreed, then looked at Shen Xuan and asked, "Will the Shizi also go along?"

Shen Xuan also responded. Although Yongle Hou Shizi looked down on Shen Zi, he knew the position of the Zheng family in the Qingliu. He looked at Zheng Jiaqu and asked, "Where is the second brother-in-law?"

Zheng Jiaqu's complexion has also improved a lot at this time, "How dare you refuse a brother-in-law's invitation?"

Several people laughed, and King Rui felt better when he saw this. Although the three daughters did something wrong today, it didn’t affect anything. He laughed, “You guys should be so close and close. The princess treats me like that. Bring the almond blossom wine and give it to Yuhong for them to drink tomorrow."

"The father is so generous, what about the daughter?" Shen Qi looked at King Rui and said coquettishly, "You can't just give it to the three son-in-laws."

At this time, King Rui still felt that the eldest daughter raised by the princess was dignified and grand, and the third daughter was also delicate and sensible, and Concubine Xu had a small family, and said, "Naturally, give the honey wine to Qi'er. Take it."

"Thank you Father," Shen Qi said with a smile.

Princess Rui smiled and asked people to bring the two jars of wine that King Rui said to Shen Qi, "Okay, let the children go, it won't be convenient to wait until it gets late."

"What the princess said is." Rui Wang said with a smile.

Shen Jing said softly, "Father, mother, and daughter are going to send off some older sisters and brother-in-law."

Seeing that Shen Jing was like this, King Rui thought she regretted the noon rudeness in her heart. Now he came to make up for it and nodded, "Go."

Princess Rui's eyes flashed and her smile became more gentle.

After a few people saluted King Rui and Princess Rui, they walked to the carriage together. Shen Jing and Shen Rong walked behind the crowd. Shen Jin was talking to Shen Qi, speaking unceremoniously about the dishes to be eaten tomorrow, and Shen Qi responded one by one. After getting down, Chu Xiuming touched Shen Jin's hand without a trace, stopped to look at An Ning, and said, "The cloak."

"Yes." An Ning, who had been waiting at the back, quickly took the cloak and held it in both hands and handed it to Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming took over and put it on Shen Jin personally, with tenderness and indulgence between her eyebrows and eyes.

Shen Jin chuckled, and the dimples on the curved face of Xingyan were also exposed, "I don't feel cold."

Chu Xiuming didn't say anything. His white and slender fingers fastened the cloak dexterously. Then he looked towards them and stopped and waited for them and said as if nothing had happened before, "I still have the spirits brought by the border city. , Come tomorrow and let the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law also taste it."

"Naturally good." Yongle Hou Shizi didn't expect that Chu Xiuming would love his wife so much, but he didn't say anything. After all, it was something for someone else's family.

Zheng Jiaqu sighed, "The third brother-in-law and the third sister are really married." But such a pure and lovely woman is also worthy of being held in the palm of his hand.

Shen Zi squeezed the veil tightly, a trace of viciousness and hatred flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head full of hatred. The better Chu Xiuming was, the better he would be to Shen Jin, and the more Shen Zi was unwilling to do so. This clearly should be his. It was Shen Jin who snatched it away with a trick. I can't say that she was calculated by Shen Jin, and Princess Rui...such rumors, slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Xiuming, such ridiculous rumors...

Shen Jing's eyes brightened, holding Shen Rong's hand without restraint, causing Shen Rong to look at him in surprise, and she saw that Shen Jing was secretly staring at Chu Xiuming's back, and the thoughts in her mind flashed by, but she felt that she was secretly staring at Chu Xiuming's back. It's ridiculous, but... she looked at Shen Jing somewhat helplessly, and whispered, "Sister Si?"

This sound awakened Shen Jing, and saw her cheeks flushed and her eyes moisturized a little bit shyly. The little girl said, "Big sister, I wonder if my fifth sister and I can go to your house tomorrow to disturb you?"

Shen Qi looked at Shen Jing with a smile on his face and said, "Naturally."

Shen Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Then go there tomorrow."

"Thank you, big sister." Shen Jing said softly.

Shen Qi no longer looked at Shen Jing and Shen Rong, but only looked at Shen Jin, and then said to Chu Xiuming, "Second brother-in-law, don't let my sister use food outside in the future."

Shen Jin's eyes widened and looked at Shen Qi in disbelief. Unexpectedly, the big sister would directly say to Chu Xiuming like this. In fact, Shen Qi just saw Chu Xiuming's idea of ​​putting on Shen Jin's cloak. She naturally realized that After Chu Xiuming cared about Shen Jin, thinking of what his mother said to be good with Yong Ningbo, he started with Shen Jin in a different way. Shen Jinji's cheeks flushed and stamped his feet and said, "Big sister, don't say it."

Obviously, I wanted to make an angry expression, but it only made me feel the same as anger, and there was no threat at all. Shen Qi stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead, but didn't say anything. Sometimes it was just enough. Some words waited for me to go back. Naturally, Chu Xiuming would ask Shen Jin, as to whether he could come to the question? Shen Qi didn't think that Shen Jin could beat Chu Xiuming.

"Okay." Chu Xiuming glanced at Shen Jin and responded with a smile.

Shen Qi smiled and didn't say anything. After saying goodbye again, the few people got into the carriage separately, but calmly took Shen Rong's hand and looked at Chu Xiuming, and said with a little shyness and nervousness, "San brother-in-law, I don't know my sister. Is it an honor to be a guest at Yongning Bo's Mansion?"

Shen Xuan frowned and looked at Shen Jing. Shen Rong was already too ashamed to look up. Chu Xiuming was supporting Shen Jin on the carriage and said, "The wife is in charge of everything at home."

Shen Qi also heard Shen Jing's words, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, quietly lowered his head, revealing a clean neck, which was stained with a little shame, and whispered, "Sister, I haven't been to Yongningbo. Mansion, can you be a guest another day?"

"It's not very convenient." Shen Jin said with some embarrassment, and said honestly, "I have driven away all the servants in the mansion, and many yards have been closed. You have no place to play when you go."

Shen Jing's expression changed, and when she raised her head, she was already drenched, "I know that the third elder sister was at odds with my mother before she got married. I just want to get close to the third elder sister. The third elder sister... after all, we are all fathers. Daughter, father wants to see us and love each other too."

Shen Jin looked confused, only feeling confused and inexplicable. When she moved her lips, she felt aggrieved and said, "I am not familiar with Concubine Xu, where is there any discord?"

Chu Xiuming gently took Shen Jin's hand and helped her down, so as not to step on the air inadvertently for a while, "Speak well, don't worry."

"En." Seeing that Chu Xiuming was here, Shen Jin consciously had a backer, and looked at Shen Jing bulgingly and said, "I was raised by my mother when I was young, and when I was older by my mother and concubine, Xu side concubine is weak and can't come. I haven't seen her very much in the concubine's courtyard. Did you misunderstand something for the fourth sister?"

Zheng Jiaqu heard that she looked at Shen Jin's appearance, then looked down at Shen Zi, and finally set her eyes on Shen Jing. He only felt that Shen Jing's words were too frivolous, but Xu Fangfei did not go to the main room every day to greet him. She was still weak, and she had heard that Concubine Xu Fang was arrogant and domineering under the favor of King Rui. It seemed that it was not groundless.

Shen Qi also opened the window and said, "Fourth sister, what did your third sister say? Make you so sad?"

When everyone heard it, it was indeed the case. They all knew about the Yongning Bo House. Although they felt that Shen Jin had done too much at that time, he was probably a little arrogant and self-willed, but now they see it and feel that there must be some misunderstanding. Shen Jing looks good, although he is not as beautiful as Shen Qi, and with the pair of phoenix eyes of Shen's family, he likes Rui Wang very much on weekdays. At this time, Shen Jin’s apricot eyes are really not taking advantage of Shen Jin’s. Double almonds are hydrated and agile. They are especially pleasing when they laugh, and they are also very cute when they are not smiling. At this time, they look a little wronged, which makes them even more pitiful.

Shen Jin pursed her pink lips, and said sadly, "I just returned to Beijing, and the mansion has not been cleaned up. Please ask the sisters to visit the mansion after I have cleaned up." He said that he bowed his head and stood in Chu Xiuming. By your side.

Zheng Jiaqu is the one who pity the weak the most, and Shen Jin’s facial features have also grown a lot in the border. Although not as gorgeous as Shen Zi’s, they are extraordinarily delicate, like a white lotus in a jade basin, but weak. Gao Jie said at this time, "Why is the fourth sister so aggressive?"

Yongle Hou Shizi thought for a while and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Shen Qi. Shen Qi lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I'm afraid the fourth sister hasn't woken up yet."

Shen Zi's expression changed. If these words were spread out, she would not have a good reputation for Shen Jing. He just said, "The fourth sister is young, but she hasn't seen the third sister for a long time, so she wants to get close to her. The third sister is the elder sister, the third sister. What do you say?"

This problem is handed over to Shen Jin. If Shen Jin still wants to blame, he will inevitably appear to be caressed with his sister and be stingy. If he does not care, he offends the person who just helped to speak. Before Shen Jin could speak, Chu Xiuming would Said, "Today the fourth sister can say such a thing, I think there is a lot of disagreement with the wife, and the wife is a sister, so she should let her sister be."

As soon as this words came out, Shen Jing was overjoyed, and the eyes that looked at Chu Xiuming were a little bit more inexplicable. Although she and Shen Jin were both the daughters of King Rui, they were spoiled since childhood in front of King Rui. Jin couldn't be better. If it weren't for Princess Rui's protection, Shen Jin didn't know where she had been forgotten by King Rui, and there was no less credit for their mother and daughter.

Shen Qi glanced at Chu Xiuming, Chu Xiuming's expression remained unchanged, Shen Jin trusted her husband and said, "Okay." There was no reluctance.

Zheng Jiaqu only felt his heart moved slightly. Such a pure and kind-hearted girl wanted to speak but found that her hand was severely pinched by Shen Zi. Her heart was annoyed, so she came to Yongle and waited for the son to think that the Royal Palace of Rui had raised Shen Jin. Such a naive temperament, I really don't know if it is good or bad, but seeing Shen Jin completely dependent on Chu Xiuming, I feel a little envious.

"Thank you brother-in-law." Shen Jing said in a jealous manner.

Chu Xiuming continued, "In the future, where the fourth younger sister will be, please forgive me and my wife for not getting involved. It is in the father-in-law's mansion..." He looked at Shen Xuan, apologizing, "also please The fourth sister avoids, or my wife and I avoid, we are definitely not in the same room."

As soon as he said this, Shen Jing's face turned pale, and even Shen Qi looked at Chu Xiuming in amazement. This was simply a beating of Shen Jing's face, plainly telling everyone that this was a disgust for Shen Jing in the mansion, a man with military power. Yongningbo and his wife, a girl who was born without a concubine, was just a princess who died, everyone knows which one is lighter and which is more important, so I am afraid that no one will rush to invite Shen Jing to come.

Not only that, even those who do not value Chu Xiuming will never ask Shen Jing again, because Shen Jin's reputation is so good...what good reputation can Shen Jing have when Yong Ning Bo said such things in public?

Shen Jin didn't feel anything, but continued to nod and said, "I know, I listened to my husband, where will the fourth sister go in the future, and ask the eldest brother and the second brother to send me a message." Then he looked at Shen Jing and sighed. With a look of regret, "We are sisters, and I never thought you hated me so far. I am a sister who always wants to let you." After saying that, I was a little bit disappointed and sad, "Husband, let's go home."

"En." Chu Xiuming helped Shen Jin's hand to let her get into the car, and never looked at Shen Jin and the others again. Although An Ning and An's plane didn't have any expressions, they just had a little bit more unkindness in the eyes, and only felt that Shen Jing was extraordinarily exceptional. I hate it, and the concubine Xu, who has never met, feels particularly distressed when he thinks that his wife is living such a life in the mansion.

Zheng Jiayu shook her head and took a quiet look. She only felt that she was too domineering. Although she was not a mother, she was also her sister. She was ugly in front of everyone because of a small matter, and she didn't know how to treat it in private. No longer caring about Shen Zi, she persuaded, "Four sisters, it’s better for the girl’s family to be Zhenjing and virtuous. Don’t pay attention to the quickness of your tongue." If it weren’t for Shen Jing and Shen Zi’s mother, even these words would have been said. I wouldn't tell her, I consciously fulfilled my brother-in-law's duties, so I stopped talking and got on the carriage first.

Shen Zi only felt dizzy, and her husband had to leave first, but Shen Qi said, "If this is the case, my four sisters will not be welcome tomorrow, and I will have to bother my two brothers and father and mother to explain."

"Sister, don't worry." Shen Xuan and Shen Xi replied, and they almost fainted Shen Jing without seeing them.

After Yongle Hou Shizi used wine and never rode a horse to say hello, he got into the carriage and sighed, "I never thought that the mother and daughter of Xu Fang could be so arrogant."

Shen Qi saw that the son of Yongle Hou did not realize that the Xu family's mother and daughter were the ones who could not bear the hardship this time. He felt a little clear in his heart. He sighed, "They have always been like this, even my mother..." Shook his head.

Yongle Hou Shizi squinted his eyes and asked, "Why do I see how the second sister hates the third sister?" He noticed the expression in Shen Zi's eyes.

Shen Qi froze for a moment when he heard the words, pretending to be puzzled and said, "It shouldn't be, no matter what in the mansion, she always wants to crush the third sister. Even the fourth and fifth sisters... how does the husband think so?"

Yongle Hou Shizi frowned, and Shen Qi knew that Concubine Xu did not want her daughter to marry Yong Ningbo, and finally pushed Shen Zi to come out. There is no way to hide this from people who know it. After a while, he said, "It may also be... but it's wrong, it's obviously that the second sister doesn't want to."

"En?" Yongle Hou Shizi looked at his wife.

Shen Qi hesitated and said, "Uncle Huang wanted to marry Yong Ningbo and asked his father to choose a daughter to marry. In fact, according to the age of the second sister, it is just that the second sister was unwilling to... In the end, the second sister booked the Zheng family, and the third sister married to the border town. That's why I felt that the husband said it was weird. If you really want to talk about it, the third sister is complaining."

Yonglehou Shizi sneered, knowing in his heart that the reputation of Yonglehou was too bad at the beginning. I thought that Shen Zi was unwilling to marry, and Xu Fangfei was favored by King Rui, so he stayed in Beijing and married Zheng Jiada. The son, and Shen Jin married in the past. Whoever wanted to see today knew that it was not the case. Shen Zi inevitably regretted it and felt a little unhappy, "Really..." Thinking that it was Shen Qi’s younger sister, he didn’t say. What, thinking of how difficult Shen Jin was at a young age, he couldn't help but said with pity, "The third sister is also pitiful."

"My third sister and I naturally have a good relationship." Shen Qi said softly, "She can be regarded as a blunder. This time I have a good husband.

Yongle Hou Shizi nodded, forgetting that Shen Jin ran against his cousin at that time, and said, "Madam, the cousin has a pitiful background. You are the most pitiful young girl, so take care of it."

The hatred in Shen Qi's heart was hard to dissipate, but with a bit of grievance on his face, he said, "Where is the husband, don't all the good things in the house cling to the cousin? It is the things my mother gave me to support most of them. I have most of them. Cousin." She lowered her eyes slightly, with tears in her eyes. Sometimes showing softness is not really weak. She can see it through today, "Forget it, you can think whatever your husband wants." She turned her back and turned her back. Look again, it's just that the shoulders are trembling slightly, looking extremely pitiful.

Yongle Hou Shizi had never seen his wife like this before, and thought of the child they had lost inexplicably. He stretched out his hand and took Shen Qi's shoulder and said, "It's mine."

"My husband is kind to my cousin, I'm so jealous, but where did she really neglect her?" Shen Qi's beautiful eyes filled with tears, a little bit more annoying, "My husband and the child... I can see that little girl with my eyes closed now. The small body is cold, but the husband is still in the belly of my cousin every day...Even if I feel sad and sad, is there a bit of a troubled cousin?"

"It's my fault." Yongle Hou Shizi felt a pain in his heart, and put his arms around his pale wife, and said, "I used to ignore it."

There was a bit of irony in Shen Qi's eyes, but people leaned more softly in the arms of Yongle Hou Shizi. She was sincere at first but could not get the slightest pity, but now she just pretended to have such a result, Shen Qi lowered his eyes slightly She knew in her heart what to do in the future, with her hands on her lower abdomen, she was sure to let those people pay for her child's blood, but it was a pity that she woke up too late and there were no clues.

In the carriage of the Zheng family, Zheng Jiaqu looked at Shen Zi and said in a deep voice, "In the future, you will not associate with your mother and two younger sisters."

"What do you mean?" Shen Zi thought of Yong Ningbo's defense of Shen Jin in every possible way. At this time, he heard Zheng Jiaqu's words especially harsh, "And why did you just say my sister like that?"

"Isn't the third sister your sister?" Zheng Jiaqu was also very angry, and thought about the poem collection, only to feel embarrassed and embarrassed, "What did I say wrong?"

"My mother is your mother-in-law, and my sister is also your sister, but you defend others?" Shen Zi gritted his teeth, "Zheng Jiaqu, are you confused?"

"My mother-in-law has only one, Princess Rui." Zheng Jiaqu said coldly.

"Okay, now do you think I am the concubine?" Shen Zi pointed to Zheng Jiaqu, her fingers dyed with balsams were extremely delicate.

Zheng Jiaqu's face was blue and purple and said, "What about your rules?"

Shen Zi sneered, "Look at the husband, and then at you, you still talk to me about the rules? I married the Zheng family as a princess, how can you treat me like this?"

"No one is forcing you to marry." Zheng Jiaqu was also angry. "Why did you marry in such a hurry? I understand in my heart that if you have known you like this before marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, I would rather not marry for life."

Shen Zi was anxious, angry, and ashamed. She had never been worse than Shen Jin since she was a child. At this time, she reached out and beat Zheng Jiaqu. Zheng Jiaqu didn’t expect Shen Zi to do it, so she didn’t avoid it for a while. There was a fiery pain on his face. He stretched out his hand to touch and was caught by Shen Zi's blood. He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Zi, but Shen Zi continued to rush over and beat her, Zheng Jiaqu abruptly held her down. , "Since you look down on the Zheng family, then leave. My Zheng family can't afford a cruel person like you."
