The Young Lady of the General’s House

Chapter Seventy

Chu Xiuming has enough evidence. Although he wants to kill those people, he knows that it is impossible. Liang Cheng's line is all the cronies of Emperor Cheng, and the people above him are also the confidants of Emperor Cheng, so Chu Xiuming must grasp one. How to make Chengdi feel distressed but within a tolerable range.

So Chu Xiuming is very busy. He also wants to finish things in the morning as much as possible. Good afternoon, go back and accompany his wife. This is not what Shen Jin asked. In fact, for Shen Jin, there are Mother Zhao and others in the morning, and it is enough to see Chu Xiuming at night. , It’s just that Chu Xiuming felt that she had left when she found out she was pregnant in Shen Jin, just like Shen Jin said, she came back when her belly was big, and felt that she owed it, not compensation, but wanted to be better to Shen Jin.

Compared with Chu Xiuming, Shen Jin had nothing to do all day long. He would eat every day when he woke up. After eating, he would have fun with Little Dot. Then he waited for her husband to come back and had lunch together. After eating, she went for a walk with her husband, and then Shen Jin Go back and take a nap while listening to your husband's art of war.

When Shen Jin fell asleep, Chu Xiuming went to discuss work with his subordinates, and then estimated the time, to wake up his little lady and walk with her, and when the little lady was tired, he carried him back.

"Huh?" There was Chu Xiuming pampering, and Mother Zhao and others were carefully taking care of him. Shen Jin always felt that he was not as smart as when he was in the Royal Palace of Rui. Therefore, when he heard Anping's words, he was still stunned before reacting to Li. Who is it, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"In return to Madam, it is a boy." Anping said, "Would you like to call in the person who announces the news?"

Shen Jin thought for a while and nodded and said, "Well, are the courtesies ready?" Then he looked at Madam Zhao.

Grandma Zhao said, "It's ready."

"Oh." Shen Jin always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't think about it for a while, took a sip from the cup and said, "When I finish my question, let the person who gave the gift go back with this person."

Madam Zhao responded and said, "The old slave will check it again."

"En." Shen Jin nodded and put the cup back on the table.

An Ping said, "The slave and maidservant will go and bring people up."

Shen Jin nodded again, and when An Ning and a few little girls were left in the room, he suddenly asked, "I still feel that something is wrong."

An Ning asked, "What does the madam think is wrong?"

"Can't remember." Shen Jin touched his stomach and sat up, "Forget it, it shouldn't matter."

Seeing that Shen Jin had figured it out by herself, An Ning stopped to say more, just tidyed up the blanket on her lap, and helped Shen Jin put on her shoes, and stood aside. Anping quickly put it on the side. People brought them up, and it turned out to be Mama Li next to Concubine Xu. She smiled when she saw Mama Li, Shen Jin, kicked off her shoes and said, "If Anping told me that it was Mama Li, I wouldn’t have to. Wear shoes."

Mother Li said with a smile, "Looking at the princess's complexion so good, the side concubine is relieved."

Shen Jin nodded and said, "How is mother?"

"The concubine side has been busy these few days, and the rest is fine." Mother Li said.

Shen Jin said, "By the way, Li's child is born, no wonder my mother is busy."

After Mama Li talked about some children's situation, she said, "The concubine took time to make some small clothes during this period. I said that she took the time to send it to the princess in the past few days. It happened to be good news today, and the old slave asked for an errand. Up."

Shen Jin urged, "Bring it to me quickly."

Mother Li responded with a smile. Anping asked the little girl waiting outside to come in. She held a bag in her hands. Anping took it and put it next to Shen Jin. Then she opened it and saw that there were small clothes and shoes inside. The tiger-headed hat was soft to the touch. Shen Jin took the small shoes and gestured in his hands, then took a look at the hat, and finally carried the clothes and laughed, "It's so small."

"Because of Li's affairs, these things haven't had time to be washed." Mother Li looked at Shen Jin's appearance and was full of comfort.

Shen Jin nodded and said, "Anping, put it away, come back and talk to Grandma Zhao."

"Yes." An Ping packed things carefully.

Shen Jin looked at the little girl who came with the baggage and said, "Anping will take someone down to drink some warm soup, and then bring a bowl of hot soup to Mama Li. By the way, Mama Li sits. I've been forgetting things recently. "

Mother Li doesn’t care about these little things at all. Besides, Concubine Chen often sighs in the house that others have been pregnant for three years, but her own daughter is already stupid enough, and it won’t be three years if she is stupid, thanks to it. Chu Xiuming doesn't mind.

After Mother Li sat down, Shen Jin asked, "Mother Li, do you think your brother was more beautiful when I was a kid or when I was a kid?"

Mother Li smiled when she heard the words, "Naturally the princess is beautiful, and the princess's little face blushed not long after he was born."

Shen Jin was satisfied, An Ning came out with a brocade box, and Shen Jin said, "This is the golden lock that my husband and I prepared for my brother."

Mother Li took it with both hands and said, "Old Nuding handed it over to the concubine side."

Shen Jin nodded, suddenly remembered and asked, "Wait, why do I feel that Li's childbirth is not yet available? By the way, is Li's okay?" Li's mother said Chen Feifei said the child, but Shen Jin didn't mention Li's matter at all. After listening to it for a long time, Shen Jin realized it, and remembered why she had been feeling wrong just now.

Mother Li said, "There was a little accident, so the day of Li's launch has been advanced."

Shen Jin was surprised and looked at Mama Li. Mama Li said, "The third young master somehow found the pair of cups that Yong Ningbo gave to the prince. It happened that the prince came back and the third young master missed the cup and broke it."

"He was unlucky." Shen Jin said affirmatively. It wasn't her anyway that the cup was sent out. Shen Jin didn't feel distressed, and changed his posture while holding his belly, "How was the face of the father at the time?"

"It's a pity that the old slave doesn't know." Mother Li said, "But I heard that even Princess Rui was alarmed."

"But why is it related to the Li family again?" Shen Jin was confused even more.

Mother Li sighed and said, "I don't know what the third young master thinks, or what someone said next to him. I think he was punished because he had a child in Li's belly. He is not the youngest in the house. I didn't like him anymore, so after seeing Li, I gave her a push..."

Shen Jin was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "Ah..." Li's is really a disaster.

Mother Li nodded, said a few more words, and said goodbye. It was the person sent by Anping to send it off. When Mother Li left, the smile on Shen Jin's face disappeared. Suddenly she asked, "How long can I have lunch?"

"Madam is hungry?" An Ning asked with some worry looking at Shen Jin's expression.

Shen Jin shook his head, but didn't say anything. Instead, he lay sideways on the chaise couch, touching his belly with one hand, An Ning took the quilt and covered it with Shen Jin, and asked, "Madam, is she uncomfortable? How about a slave girl? Called the doctor?"

"No, I'll take a break." Shen Jin whispered.

An Ning did not speak anymore, she was a little worried. After Anping came in, she talked to Anping, went out to find Madam Zhao in the kitchen, and said a few words in a low voice. Madam Zhao frowned and said, " I see, you and Yue Wen will catch up and ask if there is something wrong with that Li family."

"Yes." An Ning responded and hurriedly called Yue Wen. Yue Wen was brought out by Chu Xiuming and has stayed with Shen Jin since he came to Beijing.

Madam Zhao did not go in immediately, but waited for the jade bean cake to be out of the pot. Then she put the dim sum in the food box and walked into the house. After going in, she saw Shen Jin lying on the chaise couch with her legs slightly curled up. Looking at the plum sticks in the porcelain vase not far away, her eyes were a little confused and she didn't know what she was thinking. Madam Zhao nodded to Anping, Anping took the food box and put it aside, and took the jade bean cake inside. When she came out, Mother Zhao said softly, "Madam, would you like to try the pastries that have just come out of the pan?"

Shen Jin pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to eat too much."

Grandma Zhao asked Anping to bring the pastry and put it in front of Shen Jin. She saw Shen Jin's nose move, and after a glance, she said, "I'd better eat some."

It seemed that the problem was not very serious. Mother Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, helped Shen Jin to sit up, and covered her with the quilt. Then she put the cakes aside, and then went to twist the cloth towel to give Shen Jin a clean hand. Jin kneaded a piece of pastry and ate it, and asked, "Mother, do you think it hurts to have a baby?"

"It will be a little painful." Madam Zhao said, "But don't worry, Madam, the general has prepared everything well, and specially invited the doctor to the house."

"Oh." Shen Jin thought for a while and nodded. After eating two yuan, he didn't use it anymore.

Mother Li and the others did not go far, and brought things, so Yue Wen and An Ning quickly caught up. Mother Li sighed and said everything to An Ning, "The princess and the concubine don’t want the princess to know about this. I am afraid it will affect her."

An Ning said, "Mother Li can rest assured, just looking at the lady's expression is wrong, afraid that she has guessed something, so she came to ask."

Mother Li nodded, "The princess... has always been delicate, and the old slave is also showing off his feet."

An Ning comforted, "When Bo Yongning comes back, the slave and maid will tell the matter to Bo Yongning. If Yongningbo is there, Mrs. will be fine."

Mother Li didn't say anything. Seeing An Ning had nothing to ask, she took her away first.

Yue Wen couldn't help frowning and said, "What is this all about."

An Ning doesn't know how to say it. If it is possible, neither Princess Rui nor Concubine Chen Fang wants to let Shen Jin know about it. However, if only Shen Jin doesn't know about it, I am afraid it is even worse. Okay, so the person who came to report only talked about the child and Concubine Chen, who knew that even so, it was still seen by the wife.

When the two of them came back, they both felt a little heavy. Yue Wen waited outside, and when An Ning entered, they returned to their usual appearance. Mother Zhao saw An Ning, her eyes flashed, and asked, "Madam, what do you want to use at noon? of?"

Shen Jin said, "Make some noodle leaves in sour soup."

"Okay." Grandma Zhao responded with a smile, "The old slave will prepare."

Shen Jin nodded and said, "Anping, bring me some muslin cloths."

"Yes." An Ping responded.

"Be softer," Shen Jin demanded.

Anping took notes and went down to get things. An Ning touched the cup and found that the water was a little cold, so he poured the contents of the cup and changed the heat.

When Grandma Zhao arrived at the door, she saw Yue Wen and nodded to Yue Wen. Yue Wen followed Grandma Zhao to the side and told Grandma Li what Mother Li had said to Grandma Zhao. Grandma Zhao sighed, "This matter... …You go to the door and guard, the general came back and told the general about the matter. Madam seemed to have guessed something, and she was in a bad mood."

"Yes." Yue Wen responded and left immediately.

Grandma Zhao entered the kitchen and asked the chef to fight with her, and began to make the sour noodle leaves that Shen Jin wanted to eat.

The time of Chu Xiuming's return every day was almost fixed, so it didn't take long for Yue Wen to see Chu Xiuming, and he said the matter in a low voice. Chu Xiuming frowned and nodded without saying anything.

When Chu Xiuming came in, he saw Shen Jin already half leaning on the cushion, holding a piece of cloth in his hand, sewing something. The moment he saw Chu Xiuming, Shen Jin couldn't bear it, so he looked directly with red eyes. Looking at him, with tears in his eyes, like an abandoned animal, Chu Xiuming couldn't help feeling soft when he saw him. He walked over and touched Shen Jin's head, "I'm going to change clothes." He just came back from the outside. , The coldness of the whole body is not good, leaning on Shen Jin too close.

Shen Jin put down the things in his hand, grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand, and shook it gently. Chu Xiuming said, "Will you accompany me?"

"Okay." Shen Jin was a little happier now, and cautiously got up and walked behind Chu Xiuming to the inner room, "Husband, Mama Li is here today."

An Ning and An Ping accompanied Shen Jin to the door of the inner room, and then stopped entering. After Shen Jin followed Chu Xiuming in, they carefully closed the door.

"It's my mother-in-law's side, I think it's my mother-in-law who missed you." Chu Xiuming was unsmiling outside, but it wouldn't be the case in front of Shen Jin. Chu Xiuming made a clear distinction between subordinates and women, outsiders and insiders.

Shen Jin responded. After Chu Xiuming changed his clothes, he stretched out his hands and looked at Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming took his little lady into his arms and hugged him on the soft couch to the side. Shen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and said , "I also think my mother misses me, or she won't let Mama Li go this time."

Chu Xiuming replied, "When the weather gets better, I will accompany you back to visit my mother-in-law."

Shen Jin thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Mother now has to take care of her younger brother."

Chu Xiuming leaned on a soft cushion behind him and let Shen Jin sit in his arms. Now even Chu Xiuming can’t completely surround Shen Jin’s waist, put his hands on her belly, and the temperature of her belly is higher, “In mother-in-law, In my heart, you are the most important."

"I think so too." Shen Jin smiled upon hearing the words, "but thinking that my brother is a few months older than our child..."

Chu Xiuming discovered that Shen Jin suddenly stopped talking. He understood what Shen Jin was worried about, but at this moment, he waited for his little lady to express those concerns in his heart. Only in this way could he comfort her better.

Shen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand, squeezed his fingers, his voice was trembling, and said, "Husband, is Li's...is it gone?"

"En." Chu Xiuming was not prepared to hide it.

Shen Jin bit her lower lip and lay sideways in Chu Xiuming's arms, with her face resting on his chest, "My husband, I'm so scared..."

"I want to have children for my husband, many, many children, like my husband, like mine, like the two of us... I want to watch the children grow up with my husband, and watch them marry their wives and give birth to children... I want to grow old and white with my husband." Shen Jin cried in a low voice. When she cried, she never felt as painful as others. Instead, she choked softly, weakly as if being discovered, "My husband, you Say if I will..."

"No." Before Shen Jin could speak, Chu Xiuming interrupted her, "I won't let you have an accident."

Shen Jin buried his head in Chu Xiuming's arms, and his whole body was trembling, "But, what if?"

Those who are pregnant, Yi Duosi, this is also the reason why Mother Zhao and the others are unwilling to let Shen Jin know that Li’s accident happened. After all, Li’s and Shen Jin’s days are too close, that is, they met Chu Xiuming and Li’s. The incident not only touched Shen Jin, even after Shen Qi knew about it, she felt uneasy in her heart, but she could not tell her husband about her uneasiness, because she said that Yongle Hou Shizi could not understand it. Although it would be comforting, more people felt Shen Qi. Qi thinks too much.

But Chu Xiuming would not, because he knew Shen Jin, and he was only one Shen Jin in his entire life, his petite lady, many people think that marrying Chu Xiuming is Shen Jin’s blessing, but they don’t know that in Chu Xiuming’s heart, he married Shen Jin. Jin is also a kind of salvation for him. Shen Jin is his family, his wife, the mother of his child, and the woman who will be with him for the rest of his life.

Chu Xiuming lowered his head and kissed his wife, changed her posture to make her sit more comfortable, and gently stroked her back and said, "It won't happen, don't you believe me?"

"But..." Shen Jin raised her head, looking at Chu Xiuming with dark eyes, tears kept falling, "But it's not you who gave birth."

Chu Xiuming lowered his head and kissed the tears in the corner of Shen Jin's eyes, and said, "I will be with you, so don't be afraid."

Shen Jin's lips trembled slightly, he sniffed, and said accusingly, "No way."

"En?" Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin with some doubts.

Shen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's palm and said, "Mother said, you can't come in when you have a baby, it's unlucky..." At this point, he complained more and more, "Obviously, the child belongs to the two of us, why? I'm going to be inside, but you can't go in."

Chu Xiuming was amused, and grabbed Shen Jin's troublesome hand and said, "I will go in and accompany you."

There was joy in Shen Jin's eyes, his fingers moved, and when he couldn't pull it out, he stopped making trouble, "What should I do if my mother said it?"

Chu Xiuming lowered his head and kissed Shen Jin's nose and said, "I said to my mother-in-law."

Shen Jin's face was full of joy, but he said solemnly, "You can't let my mother talk about me."

"How can I be willing to mother-in-law?" Chu Xiuming's voice was exceptionally gentle, although Concubine Chen often said that Shen Jin was naughty and made her more sensible, and more to herself.

Shen Jin suddenly said, "But my mother said that you can't take a bath during confinement..." Shen Jin hesitated, "Will you despise me?"

Seeing that Shen Jin wanted to go away, Chu Xiuming stopped mentioning the unhappy things, and said, "What do you think?"

"Yes." Shen Jin took out his hand, grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and began to bite. It didn't hurt, but itchy, "I feel so disgusted by myself..."

Chu Xiuming kissed Shen Jin's earlobe and said, "I'll be with you."

"Along with me not to take a bath?" Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming with a disgusting expression, and asked hesitantly, "No more?" I don't know why Shen Jin thought of the beard on his face when he first saw Chu Xiuming. , Hugging his belly and began to laugh again.

"But I heard that there are a lot of things you can't eat during confinement." Shen Jin thought of this, but forgot all those fears.

Chu Xiuming kissed Shen Jin's finger and said, "I'll be with you. I will eat what you eat."

Shen Jin was only satisfied, but she said with distress to her husband, "But you can secretly eat with me behind your back."

"No." Chu Xiuming promised.

Chu Xiuming saw his little lady’s smile, and gently helped her caress her back. After she finished smiling, he took the water cup on the side and fed it to Shen Jin’s lips. Shen Jin lowered his head and drank slowly without picking it up. I got up, "In fact, think about it, it's worth all the hard work to see the children. What do you think our children will be called in the future?"

"What do you think, Madam?" Chu Xiuming asked.

Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "I will give you a nickname, okay with you?"

"Okay." How could Chu Xiuming disagree. For this child, his wife has suffered so much, as long as the wife is happy for such a small thing as the name.

Shen Jin held his belly with both hands, "I'm hungry."

"Then go out to eat." Chu Xiuming got up and looked at Shen Jin who was still on the soft couch. Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming expectantly. The corners of Chu Xiuming's mouth rose and he bent over and hugged Shen Jin directly. Shen Jin was shaking comfortably. One foot.

Mother Zhao made the sour noodle leaves that Shen Jin said, and gave Chu Xiuming chicken noodle leaves. In addition to other dishes, Shen Jin liked them. After the meal, Chu Xiuming accompanied Shen. Jin took a short walk and then went back to the house to rest. However, today Chu Xiuming did not wait for Shen Jin to fall asleep and left. Instead, he stayed with her. This time he did not talk about the art of war, but talked to Shen Jin about the original Chu. Whether it’s a small conflict or a war involving tens of thousands of people, they will collect all kinds of information from the soldiers after returning, and then record them. There are also some notes and the generals’ experience at the time. The children of the Chu family use them. These are for literacy.

At this time, Jing Chu Xiuming said that he added some more of his own opinions. Seeing Shen Jin listening with gusto, he suddenly asked, "Do you think that in the battle of Suhara, why did Tianqi still lose when he has an advantage? What will happen to you instead?"

The battle of Suhara was a war between Tianqi and the former dynasty. At that time, although the ancestors of the Chu family participated in this battle, they had insufficient reputation, so they were just one of the generals.

Shen Jin was stunned for a moment. Chu Xiuming had never asked her about this before. After thinking about it, he said, "Me? Retreat, and then gather."

"Why?" Chu Xiuming asked.

Shen Jin said, "We can't keep up with the grain and grass." As he said, he grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and drew it. "Look, the battle line... is so long, the soldiers can't eat enough, and they have to fight all the time. Tired."

After hearing this, Chu Xiuming suddenly asked, "Do you think what is the most important thing to win a war?"

"The soldiers ate their food, and then saved more soldiers' lives. If the opponent has fewer people, he will fight, if there are too many people..." Shen Jin hesitated for a moment, feeling that these words with Chu Xiuming seemed a bit bad.

"En?" Chu Xiuming asked.

Shen Jin whispered, "If there are too many people on the other side, it's better to avoid some, or take a sneak attack?"

Not only was Chu Xiuming not angry, but instead said, "My little lady is still smart."

"Of course." Shen Jin said, forgetting the shame just now, "I'm smart."
