The Young Lady of the General’s House

Chapter Seventy

At night, Shen Jin was still nestled in Chu Xiuming's arms as usual. Just when Chu Xiuming felt she was asleep, he whispered, "Husband, if... if I really..." Shen Jin said Vague, but she knows that Chu Xiuming can understand, "You can marry another kind-hearted and gentle bride who will treat your child while the child is still not remembering."

Shen Jin’s voice trembled, but he said very clearly, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time, “Don’t tell your children these things then, you have to treat our children well, even with mine... Don’t have other children, it’s not good for him."

"What stupid thing to say." Chu Xiuming felt distressed after hearing it, and stretched out his hand to gently pat Shen Jin's back and said, "Silly girl, are you really willing? Why do you think about all this?"

Shen Jin didn’t cry this time, “I just told you in advance, it’s like Li’s did not expect to... I’m afraid that there will be no time to talk to you, but you have to promise me that when the time comes, we two To be buried together, no one else is allowed, OK?"

"Regardless of life and death, we are the only two of us." Chu Xiuming's voice was exceptionally gentle, with a hint of hoarseness. "You are right. There are many accidents in life, just like I thought I could accompany you in the capital. Then we went back to the border town to celebrate the New Year together, but didn't want to leave when you were pregnant and let yourself be in this place."

Hearing Chu Xiuming’s voice, Shen Jin only felt itchy in his heart, but he didn’t know what to say, so he rubbed his toes against Chu Xiuming’s legs. Chu Xiuming clamped Shen Jin’s legs with his legs, not letting him. She was noisy, and then continued, "It's very hard."

"I just miss you." Shen Jin said honestly, "want very much."

Chu Xiuming chuckled, his voice a little hoarse and low, "I miss you too."

It is only natural that Shen Jin's voice has increased a bit, "Sure, I'm so good."

Chu Xiuming lightly kissed Shen Jin's hair, and said, "Yeah, you are so good, why are you willing to let me make up for those who are not good enough?"

Shen Jin laughed, and Chu Xiuming's voice slowly reached his ears, "Life always has accidents." If that time comes, Chu Xiuming's choice cannot be a child, "The child is our continuation, but you But it’s my only one, so silly girl, you should know what my choice is."

For some reason, Shen Jin's heart settled completely after hearing these words, "I'm smart, but my children and I will be fine, because you will stay with me and protect me, right?"

"En." Chu Xiuming patted her on the head and said, "Go to sleep."

"Good." Not long after speaking, Shen Jin closed his eyes and fell asleep. What really made Shen Jin at ease was not what Chu Xiuming said would protect her, but the only one. This was enough, even if something really happened again. How, there is always someone who remembers herself, always thinks of herself, such a man... Shen Jin feels that no matter it is for the child or for this man, she will not let herself have an accident.

The Fourth Young Master of the Royal Palace of Rui’s Mansion didn’t do a lot of cleaning, but he invited some people close to him, and Chu Xiuming also accompanied Shen Jin. When the child’s full moon comes, Shen Jin is afraid that he won’t be able to come, and this child’s It was a coincidence that the washing three days was the last day of the 25th year of Yongqi, and Chengdi had also sealed his pen.

It was also the first time that Shen Jin saw this younger brother. He was wrapped in a red quilt. When Chu Xiuming helped Shen Jin to look at him, he felt that the child was a little feeling everywhere. The smile was not obvious, but Shen Jin knew that her mother was happy. After she got married, her mother wanted to be lonely. She spent the whole day in a place as big as Mo Yunyuan, and she was afraid that every plant and tree would have been remembered clearly. Chu it.

Consort Chen looked at Shen Jin with a smile and said, "This kid is better than you when you were a kid."

"How is it possible." Shen Jin didn't believe it at all. "Didn't my mother say that I am the best child?"

Chen Bianfei smiled and said, "You lied to you. When you were young, you could not do without people. You must be hugged. If you sleep in the morning and make trouble at night, you will cry if you don't want to. You are not crying loudly, but crying quietly. stop."

"No way." Shen Jin thought of how he often said in front of Chu Xiuming about how well-behaved and sensible he was when he was a child, "I'm smart and well-behaved."

Concubine Chen side smiled but stopped talking, handing the child in her arms to the nanny, and then said, "Go back and rest, don't get tired."

Shen Jin touched his stomach and nodded, "Okay."

Princess Rui arranged for Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin in the same yard back then, because the Chinese New Year will be tomorrow, and the two of them will no longer run back and forth. After all, Shen Jin has a big belly and suffers a bit from riding in a carriage. They plan to spend time in the Royal Palace of Rui. Go back again after the third day.

Yongle Hou Shizi and Shen Qi returned to Yongle Hou Mansion after their children were washed for the third time. In any case, they still had to stay in Yongle Hou Mansion on the first day of the new year. Shen Qi and Shen Jin also said hello. I couldn't say a few words. I only waited for Shen Qi to come back in the second year of junior high. But Shen Jin felt that Shen Qi had lost weight. Shen Jin pursed his lips and said nothing.

Shen Qi wanted to ask if Shen Jin knew about Li's affairs, but time Shen Jin's eyebrows were filled with joy, and the whole person was also moisturized. In the end, he didn't say anything, and even had some meaning to escape, rushing to wait for the son of Yongle to be together. After leaving the Royal Palace of Rui, she was afraid that she could not help but would say it, and it would make Shen Jin feel uncomfortable in the end.

During Shen Jin’s stay in King Rui’s Mansion, neither Shen Rong nor Shen Hao saw it, but Shen Jin didn’t ask anything. After the third year of junior high, Chu Xiuming accompanied Shen Jin back to Yongning Bo’s Mansion and gave it away when he came. I took a lot of gifts and brought a lot of them when I left. After sending away the Yongningbo and his wife, Shen Qi didn't hold back and asked, "Mother, do you think my sister knows about the Li family?"

Princess Rui looked at her haggard look and said, "What do you think?"

Shen Qi couldn't tell. If you know why there is nothing strange, if you don't know why Shen Rong and Shen Hao are not there, but there is no surprise at all, Princess Rui sighed and said, "Is it important?"

Hearing what his mother said, Shen Qi couldn't answer it. Is it important? She didn't know either, just wanted to know.

Princess Rui accompanied her daughter to walk slowly inside, and said, "Whether Jin girl knows or does not know, she understands in her heart that no matter what others are, her own life is the most important thing. With me, she will never let her You are just like Lee."

"Mother." When Shen Qi heard her mother mention Li, she stiffened. She was terrified that day. With so much blood, Li's screams seemed to be still in her ears, as well as the father's saying about protecting children. ...... Did she also shed a lot of blood when she had a miscarriage?

"What is Li's identity, and what is your identity?" Princess Rui stretched out her hand to hold her daughter's hand, and said, "Even in Yonglehoufu, they don't have the guts to protect you."

Shen Qi bit her lower lip, Princess Rui’s hands are very soft, a pair of pampered hands, “It’s always a big deal for a woman to give birth to a child, but you have to do it unless you are willing to look at other women and your husband’s children. , Inherit it all."

Princess Rui didn’t say anything further, “Girl Jin is inferior to you in terms of identity, appearance, and even piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she can see more clearly than you, Qi'er, you are my only daughter, I But you don’t want you to live so hard, so you don’t need to live as tired as Jin girl, but... there are some things you should learn from Jin girl to see more openly."

"Yes." Shen Qi responded.

It’s just that neither Princess Rui nor Shen Qi knew that Shen Jin didn’t really care or didn’t do anything at all. It was just that Chu Xiuming comforted him after a little uncomfortable emotion. Shen Jin was actually a little proud in his heart. It turns out that not only she can't live without her husband, but also her husband can't live without her.

On the carriage that returned, Shen Jin was sitting in Chu Xiuming’s arms and moved her feet uncomfortably. Now not only her legs but also her feet are a little swollen. Now she is wearing boots. Although it keeps warm, she has been wearing it for a long time. It still made Shen Jin feel uncomfortable, even if the boots were made bigger by Mother Zhao and others.

When Shen Jin moved, Chu Xiuming noticed it. He knocked on the door three times. Shen Jin found that the carriage came to a halt quickly. Only then did Chu Xiuming let Shen Jin sit in his arms, put his arms around her back, and turned sideways. Go and take off Shen Jin’s boots. She wears cotton socks on her feet. It won’t be cold in the carriage. When the boots are taken off, Chu Xiuming hugs Shen Jin again and knocks on the door of the carriage. On the road again.

"It's much more comfortable." Shen Jin said, moving his feet.

Chu Xiuming responded, "Go back and scald your feet with hot water."

Shen Jin nodded. It has been nearly a year since they left the border city. It is clear that the capital city is where she has lived for a long time, but Shen Jin misses life in the border city even more. This year's Ruiwang Mansion looks a little deserted, and Shen Xuan still hasn't returned in Minzhong. Although Shen Zi wanted to come back, he was not allowed by the Royal Palace. Xu Fangfei and Shen Jing were imprisoned. Shen Hao and Shen Rong were also fined. They were not even released during the Chinese New Year and stayed with Rui Wang. Only Shen Qi and his wife were left, and the two of them also had Shen Xi.

"I don't think Shen Rong asked Shen Hao to do it." Shen Jin said.

Chu Xiuming responded. Although it wasn't cold inside the carriage, he still took a cloak and covered Shen Jin's feet.

Shen Jin whispered, "Shen Rong is not that stupid."

Chu Xiuming took a piece of dried peach and placed it on Shen Jin's lips. Shen Jin opened his mouth and held it in his mouth. It was sour and sweet with a bit of saltiness. He squinted his eyes contentedly and said, "My sister looks a little haggard and wants to come. I was frightened, thanks to our early return."

"Yes." Chu Xiuming said.

When the carriage stopped, Shen Jin wanted to ask An Ning to come up and help herself wear boots. Her belly couldn't bend at all. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiuming let Shen Jin sit down first, and then carefully connected Shen Jin's feet to her calves with her cloak. Wrapped it up, and put Shen Jin's own cloak on her, then she hugged Shen Jin and got out of the carriage.

An Ping and An Ning looked at each other, An Ning followed Chu Xiuming to the courtyard, An Ping got into the carriage and packed Shen Jin's things.

Grandma Zhao was already waiting in the yard. The room was very warm. Chu Xiuming put Shen Jin on the bed. Grandma Zhao waited on Shen Jin to change clothes. She calmly stepped aside and acted. Chu Xiuming also changed into normal clothes. The mother said, "A few people came up to the mansion two days ago, saying that they were relatives of Concubine Chen's side and came to look for his wife."

"Mother's relative?" Shen Jin was stunned and looked at Grandma Zhao.

Grandma Zhao said, "Yes, I also said something about Concubine Chen, because the old slave didn't know much, and didn't know the truth or not, so I arranged for someone to live there first."

Shen Jin frowned. She had never told Mother Zhao about her mother’s family. Naturally, Mother Zhao didn’t know whether it was true or false, so it was really hard to deal with those few people, so she had to arrange for someone to live there first. Then let people watch.

Chu Xiuming pressed **** on Shen Jin's forehead and said, "Send away if you don't want to see it."

Shen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand, shook his head and said, "See you."

"Tomorrow." Chu Xiuming said.

Shen Jin smiled and nodded and said, "Okay."

When Grandma Zhao saw this, although Shen Jin didn’t say anything, she realized that regardless of whether this relative was true or false, she seemed to be not close to Concubine Chen and his wife, so she also thought about it in her heart and helped Shen Jin change into a normal dress. , She stopped staying in the house, so she retired first, and when Mother Zhao brought the freshly cooked goat's milk from the kitchen, An Ning also brought water and waited for Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin to freshen up, and Shen Jin carried the heat. Hu's goat's milk drank a bowl, breathed out slowly and said, "It's still comfortable at home."

"Madam, do you want to scald your feet?" Madam Zhao asked with a smile.

Shen Jin thought for a while and nodded and said, "Get a bigger basin and I will soak with my husband."

Grandma Zhao responded with a smile, and immediately asked the little maid to prepare. After a while, someone came over with a basin carrying water. After the filling was done, Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming, and Chu Xiuming let people go. He moved Yuandun and sat opposite Shen Jin without letting the maid wait on him. He took off her shoes and socks. Shen Jin could not bend down, so An Ning helped her take it off.

Shen Jin’s feet are much smaller than those of Chu Xiuming, and they are white and tender. They are chubby because they are a little swollen. They are particularly proud when they step on Chu Xiuming’s feet. “In fact, even if I meet my mother’s natal family, I will I don’t know one, because I’ve never seen it before."

Chu Xiuming listened quietly. Shen Jin stepped on Chu Xiuming’s feet, and then asked someone to add some hot water, and continued to soak and say, “Mother rarely mentioned these people. Back then, my mother... Those who don’t want to enter the palace as a concubine are as if the grandfather had booked a house for his mother during his lifetime."

Although it was very comfortable to soak your feet in hot water, Chu Xiuming did not let Shen Jin soak for too long. After asking An Ning to dry Shen Jin, he directly hugged Shen Jin to bed, and waved his hand to make the people in the house retreat. , The two of them took off their clothes and lay down under the quilt. Shen Jin nestled in Chu Xiuming's arms and smiled, "Husband, you are becoming lazy."

"Yes." Chu Xiuming laughed. When he didn't get a wife in the past, he didn't practice martial arts, military training, or calligraphy all day long, but he was dealing with all kinds of things. I didn't come down, but I didn't know what to do when I was free, so I became more busy.

Although Shen Jin is not sleepy, but lying in her husband's arms like this in winter, she is also particularly comfortable, and said, "But when grandfather is gone, they... Actually, they didn't expect their mother to enter the Royal Palace. Another official was a concubine, but a friend of his grandfather couldn't see it. He didn't know how to get in touch with the concubine's maiden family. Knowing that the concubine was giving a concubine to King Rui, he pushed his mother up."

"I heard from my mother that my grandfather's family was not poor, and even very rich. When they knew that their mother was going to enter the Royal Palace of Switzerland, the matter was already a foregone conclusion. They knew that they had offended their mother severely, and they simply offended Princess Rui. Mother was not allowed to take anything away with the things she gave away. Even the things that grandfather and grandmother left to her mother were buckled down. In the end, the mother wore all the clothes and secretly took this jade pendant and left.” Shen Jin felt that it was in it. There must be something else, like when the mother became a concubine, if they know the news, have they come to make trouble, but Shen Jin also heard from Mama Li, mother does not like to talk about this, Shen Jin naturally does not Will ask, so as not to upset my mother.

And did they really come to the palace to find their mother? If it were just these things, my mother wouldn't have held the hate for so long.

However, Shen Jin would not ask any more, anyway, she would never see these people again, so why bother to mention these things to make her mother uncomfortable.

Chu Xiuming replied, "No matter what purpose they are here, just send it away, don't let them disturb the mother-in-law."

Shen Jin nodded. At least in Yongning Bo’s Mansion, she can be the master of the house, but in Rui Wang’s Mansion, Concubine Chen can do not much, so it is better for them to find themselves than to find their mother in Rui’s Mansion. I am afraid that the mood is not good for the time being.

When she really met these people, Shen Jin knew why Mother Zhao stayed, and she didn't know which cousin was actually similar to her mother when she was young. Shen Jin was a little bit rare after watching it for a while. ,"sit down."

Shen Jin inevitably paid more attention to the girl who was similar to her mother, but found that she was just similar in appearance. After she made it, she always looked at the bracelets and hair accessories on her head, and also looked at the house. The decorations in the middle are concealed, but I don't know that Shen Jin can see it clearly when sitting on the main seat.

"Princess, I am you..." the eldest man said as soon as he sat down.

Shen Jin frowned slightly, and heard An Ping scold him, "Madam hasn't asked you something, who told you to speak."

The man's face became extraordinarily ugly, and he wanted to say something, but the other man next to him pulled his sleeve, and then shut his mouth.

Shen Jin said, "Are you relatives of my mother?"

"Yes, yeah." The middle-aged man agreed with the winning streak, "I..."

"I haven't heard my mother mention it." Shen Jin interrupted them calmly and said, "This is the first time I know for the first time in so many years that there are still people in my grandfather's family."

Except for Shen Jin, the faces of the people present were all unsightly. Shen Jin continued, "Anping, go and ask Yue Wen to bring two people over."

"Yes." An Ping said respectfully.

"What are you going to do?" said the man who had just pulled the sleeves of the middle-aged man. "Could it be possible that the princess has become Mrs. Yongningbo and does not recognize the poor relatives of his grandfather's family?"

"Presumptuous." An Ning scolded angrily.

"It's not the truth. If it doesn't work, just report it to the official. It's up to the government to take care of it. Is it possible that Yongning Bofu can bully others? If you have the ability, you can kill me." The man stood up and yelled with red ears.

"What if you are killed?" Chu Xiuming came in from outside and said, "Drag it out and beat me."

"Yes." Yue Wen just brought people in. After hearing it, two people grabbed the talking man and dragged it out. Before the man even had time to whine, Yue Wen took off his chin.

When Shen Jin saw Chu Xiuming, his eyes curled with a smile and said, "Husband."

Chu Xiuming nodded and sat next to Shen Jin. His eyes scanned the people. Whether they wanted to beg for mercy or crying, they were stuck in their throats. They only felt as if a knife had been placed on their necks. Up will fall down at any time.

At the moment when a girl who looked a bit like Concubine Chen saw Chu Xiuming, her face blushed and she was shy, her eyes only circled around Chu Xiuming, she didn't care about other things, and was even dragged out. It was her father who had forgotten that Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin didn't speak, and no one in the room dared to speak. The silence was a bit horrible for a while, as if they could hear the sound of people outside being kicked.

The girl bit her lower lip and walked to the center of the hall with small steps. Yingying knelt down, nodded slightly, and said, "I beg my cousin-in-law to forgive my father's unwillingness to speak, he is only in a state of indignation. I couldn’t help saying that. It’s not what he meant. The little girl suffered a hardship in her house and came to the capital. I thought that my cousin could take it in for a few days. When we found a place to stay, we moved out. Who ever thought of cousin but even..."

"Which is your cousin?" Shen Jin looked at the crying girl and suddenly asked, "Which is your cousin's husband again? Did you say it was my mother's relative? Is there evidence?"

The girl cried pitifully, "The little girl heard from her father, that the little girl looks a bit like the mother of the county lord."

Shen Jin pretended to be confused when facing Princess Ruyang, because Princess Ruyang had a higher status than her, and there was no Chu Xiuming by her side. Even so, Shen Jin didn’t get any loss at all. Now she is not only higher than these people, Chu Xiu Ming was around again, and what was terrible, so he said directly, "People are similar. I never knew there was this relative in my family. I thought it was pretending to be."

Chu Xiuming looked indifferent and didn't even look at the girl below. When Shen Jin finished speaking, he responded. Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming, "Husband, I don't want to see them anymore." Just look at those people who are full. His face looked at Shen Jin in horror.

Shen Jin looked at them with some doubts, and then looked at Chu Xiuming, but Chu Xiuming knew why those people were frightened. Actually, Shen Jin said that he didn’t want to see it because he didn’t want to see it. He had no other meaning, and said, “Okay. , Yue Wen sent people to Minzhong, before leaving, let them speak, who let them come."

Yue Wen said in a respectful voice, "Yes." Chu Xiuming didn't say who handed it over, but Yue Wen also knew that seeing that Chu Xiuming had no other instructions, he directly asked someone to drag everyone away.

Shen Jin asked, "Minzhong?"

"En." Chu Xiuming replied, "Those pirates occupy an isolated island. After they are defeated, they will also need people over there."

"Can't they come back?" Shen Jin asked.

Chu Xiuming said, "I won't let them come back."

Shen Jin nodded and said, "That's good."

These people were too coincidental to allow Chu Xiuming to doubt, so they arranged someone to let them open their mouths before sending them away, and it is unclear whether they would do other things before sending them away. After all, Chu Xiuming was not. For the soft-hearted person, Mother Zhao knew in her heart that the woman who was somewhat similar to Concubine Chen could not be kept, because that person was not only similar to Concubine Chen, but also a bit like Shen Jin.

But no one would tell Shen Jin. Those people are not hard bones. However, two hours later, Yue Wen sent a message to Chu Xiuming. Unexpectedly, these people had listened to other people's words and even invited them. When you came to Yongning Bofu, you can imagine what you were thinking about, but no matter how many of these people did not know, Chu Xiuming just nodded, and after a few commands, Yue Wen went down and got busy.
