The Young Lady of the General’s House
Chapter 8:
As the daughter of King Rui, Shen Zi, who was married as a princess, should have attracted a lot of envy, but sometimes the envy is relative. Shen Jin, who is married with a princess in honor, is the focus of everyone’s attention, although Yongningbo has many It was rumored, but mysterious enough, and part of Shen Jin's dowry was sent to the earl's mansion, and part of it was sent to the frontier along with Shen Jin.
After Shen Jin was sitting on the sedan chair out of the city gate, it was replaced by a carriage, then by a waterway, and then by a carriage, and walked on the road for almost three months before reaching the border.
Apart from not being able to walk around at will, Shen Jin's life is not difficult. She can calm down by herself and read some books while in the car.
Because of the time spent on the road, Shen Jin’s wedding gown was carefully prepared for two sets. One set was worn in the capital and the other set was much thicker for the border crossing. This is not superfluous. They did not enter the border directly, but waited for Yongningbo's people to pick him up in the nearest town.
Early in the morning, Shen Jin was called by Xi Niang, put on the cotton wedding gown, and then sat quietly in the inn, waiting for Yong Ningbo to come and marry him.
There are many rumors about Yongningbo, eating raw human flesh, these are not new, Shen Jin has also been thinking about what kind of person Yongningbo will be, and what kind of life she will live after she gets married. If Yongningbo has a bad temper, what should she do? What should she do if Yongningbo looks too scary? If Yongningbo eats raw meat, should she accompany it? But after imagining the appearance of raw meat, Shen Jin dispelled the idea, she felt that she could watch Yong Ningbo eat it.
Although she thought a lot, Shen Jin never thought that she would never see Yong Ningbo!
Not only did Yong Ningbo not come to pick up his relatives, he was not even in the border town, because he led troops to raid the barbarians, so it was Yong Ningbo's younger brother, Chu Xiuyuan, who was less than ten years old, who came to pick up Shen Jin.
Moreover, Chu Xiuyuan had been confessed by his elder brother Chu Xiuming long ago, and brought the soldiers from the mansion to carry away the bride and dowry, but none of the dowryers brought them into the border town.
Before Shen Jin married in, Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan were the two masters of the Fuzhong. After Shen Jin married in, Fuzhong was still the two masters. Shen Jin did not get Chu Xiuming's recognition for a day, and the servants of the Fuzhong only took one day. Won't recognize her.
It's not that these people neglect Shen Jin, but a feeling of incompatibility. The mansion in the border city is naturally not as luxurious as the capital, but the area is large. Shen Jin lives in the main courtyard of the mansion. Those dowries are asking Shen Jin. After his comments, they were properly placed.
The Fuzhong also arranged for people to serve Shen Jin. Unlike the people in Beijing, both men and women are very tall. They don’t talk much and move very neatly. Only when Shen Jin asks, she will answer her questions. .
In the Palace of King Rui, the maid beside Shen Jin did not say that she was covered in silk and silk, but she was not far behind. However, Shen Jin found that people here rarely wear long skirts and have more clothes. It's made of cloth, and I don't have much jewelry.
The unfamiliar environment and the absence of a familiar person around made Shen Jin feel at a loss. The most obvious manifestation is that Shen Jin has lost weight at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye.
The one serving by Shen Jin is called Xile and the other is Anping, and the dowry maid brought by Shen Jin is already on the way back to the capital.
Shen Jin is not a disgusting temperament. On the contrary, she is more sensible because she is not favored in the Royal Palace of Rui. This is also thanks to her who got married. If she were changed to Shen Zi, she would have fallen out long ago.
And Xi Le and An Ping and Shen Jin have no hatred. Seeing Shen Jin's sluggishness every day, she couldn't bear it. After Xi Le and An Ping greeted him, he came to the mansion to find Manager Wang and asked directly, "Mr. Wang, Isn't this not so good for Madam?" General Manager Wang is not only the steward of the mansion, but also Chu Xiuming's military adviser. Because there is no steward in the mansion, he is left to help Yong Ningbo take care of the house.
"Are we lacking clothes or are we wearing less?" Manager Wang asked rhetorically. He actually did not approve of Chu Mingxiu's marrying a delicate wife, because here, sometimes when encountering wars, women also have to go to the battlefield, and Yongning Madam Bo is not just a title, but a person who can stand up when Yong Ning Bo is away, "Because Madam is afraid of the cold, the Fuzhong also specially purchased carbon to keep his wife warm."
Xi Le is just a maid, and she can’t say Mr. Wang at all. Hearing this, she said, “It’s not the wife who insists on marrying the general.” She was specially selected to serve Shen Jin among the people in the border town, and in their eyes, Chu Ming Xiu is the general who led them to victory, not an earl.
Even the sign hanging outside Chu Mingxiu's mansion in the border city was the general mansion, not the earl mansion.
Even so, Joy didn't say anything. In their eyes, the most important thing was the two brothers Chu Mingxiu.
In fact, Shen Jin's thinness was purely because she was uncomfortable. Whether it was food or the weather, she felt uncomfortable. Although Shen Jin secretly cried because she missed her mother, she was not a weak temper.
When he first arrived here, Shen Jin didn't dare to walk or demand arbitrarily. The rumors of Yong Ningbo were really terrible, but after staying here for more than a month, Shen Jin suddenly felt that it was not as terrible as he imagined. , Like a small animal in an unfamiliar environment. At the very beginning, he always carefully observed the surrounding environment. A little movement can scare it back into its shell.
But gradually, when it realizes that it is safe here, it will slowly extend its paw, and then give it a little test.
Shen Jin was like this. After eating a list of unappetizing meals for more than a month, Shen Jin suddenly asked, "Joy, what do you usually eat?"
Xi Le did not expect that Shen Jin would take the initiative to chat with her, and said, "We are not used to eating rice, but prefer to eat noodles."
"Oh?" After Shen Jin lost weight, her eyes were bigger and moisturized. When she looked at you, she looked like a little squirrel begging for food.
Xi Le and An Ping themselves were soft to Shen Jin, but Shen Jin was always lacking energy some time ago, so they didn't say much. Besides, both men and women in the border town are outrageous temperaments. Xi Le poured a glass of water for Shen Jin and said with a smile. , "I love noodles, Anping loves sesame seeds and meat."
"Is it delicious?" Shen Jin looked at joy expectantly.
Xi Le said, "I think it's good. The noodles are very strong. The soup is boiled with lamb bones, topped with slices of meat and some spicy peppers. It is not only delicious but also easy to eat."
"Actually, I think beef noodles is better." Anping put the quilt back and said, "Especially the roasted beef, and then eat a roasted brown sesame cake, it's delicious."
"Really?" Shen Jin looked forward to it even more. "Is it really that delicious?"
"Yes." An Ping smiled. "Especially the old man Qiao's house in Xicheng, it tastes great."
Shen Jin did not speak, but looked at them with watery eyes, "It seems to be delicious."
Even if they were dull, Xi Le and An Ping could see what Shen Jin meant. They looked at each other and said Xi Le, "But the taste is a bit heavy. Madam, you should not be used to it."
Shen Jin's eyes suddenly showed disappointment, "Can I really not eat?"
"Well, I'll let my brother go out and buy a few back. If the wife doesn't like to eat, then we can eat it." An Ping said softly as he looked at Shen Jin's appearance.
Shen Jin showed a look of surprise on his face, then kept urging An Ping with his eyes, and asked, "How much is one? Will that much meat be expensive?"
"Not expensive." Xi Le said with a smile, "The meat here is much cheaper than those vegetables and fruits."
Shen Jin insisted on taking out the silver and giving it to Anping, and said, "Don't let anyone know."
"Why?" Xi Le asked. "What Madam wants can go to the public office."
Shen Jin blushed, digging his fingers on the skirt and said, "No, outsiders know that I'm so greedy, they will laugh at me."
Xi Le and An Ping couldn't help laughing. They got a lot closer to Shen Jin in their hearts. They didn't find the trap in Shen Jin's words at all. In one sentence, they circled joy and Anping to their own people. Shen Jin has been secretly observing during this period of time. The personalities of these two close-knit girls found that they weren't like those in the capital who had a lot of twists and turns in their hearts. It was impossible to buy them. The kindness and grace that the mother said was not suitable for the environment here.
So Shen Jin changed a method. She didn't know when Yong Ning Bo would return, but she hoped that Yong Ning Bo would come back later, so that she would have time to open up the situation in the house first, and did not require them to be respectful and obedient, at least to win this. People's goodwill.
The name of the princess, the countess, is not good at all in front of these people. Shen Jin has never mercilessly driven away those dowries. Shen Jin discovered that the folk customs here are not the same as the folk customs in the capital. People are useless at all, and she is isolated and helpless in such a place. If Shen Jin dared not know each other, she might die soon because of inadequacy...
Will Sheng and Rui turn their faces for her and Yongningbo? It's impossible to think about it, besides, she didn't accept the disease and died because of bad health, and what does it have to do with Yong Ningbo.
I am afraid that only my mother will be sad.
However, Shen Jin discovered that the sesame seed meat recommended by Anping was unexpectedly delicious. The sesame seeds were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside with the secret stewed meat inside. There were two slap-sized sesame cakes from Shen Jin. She actually ate one and a half. In fact, she felt that she could eat the remaining half, but because the appetite scared Anping and Xi Le, the two of them desperately stopped Shen Jin and promised to return it to her tomorrow, Shen Jin reluctantly gave up. Half the decision to eat is left.
It's just because Shen Jin didn't control it for a while. When eating at night, the meals that were specially made for her didn't move, and Anping and Xi Le ate all of them, and she felt her abdomen while eating in the house. Digest in circles.
