The Young Lady of the General’s House
Chapter 79:
On the way to leave the Royal Palace of Rui, Shen Jin told Chu Xiuming what Princess Rui had said, and then she didn't care about it anymore. She felt that this kind of unintelligible words was what Princess Rui wanted to tell Chu Xiuming, Shen Jin and Dongdong. The carriage in which he was sitting was specially remodeled, and it was padded with thick bedding to make Shen Jin and the children more comfortable. After all, Dongdong was too young and needed special attention.
Chu Xiuming got on the carriage after leaving the capital, while Shen Xi was riding outside because he came out for the first time. Chu Xiuming asked Yue Wen to stay with Shen Xi, and Xiao Budian followed Shen Xi’s horse. It hasn’t been for a long time. After running like this, I didn't want to get into the carriage and rest.
On the carriage, Shen Jin hugged Dongdong and nibble with honey jerky in the other hand. She hadn't eaten these for so long after confinement. During the forty days of confinement, Shen Jin whispered back and forth. Grandma Zhao had already started to prepare. Since the ban was lifted, Shen Jin has hardly left her hands.
When Chu Xiuming got in the car, he saw Shen Jin eating. Dongdong was obediently in Shen Jin’s arms, his eyes moved with the jerky on Shen Jin’s hands, and his mouth wriggled constantly. After Shen Jin ate a piece of jerky, I also took a fine cotton to wipe the saliva from the corners of Dongdong's mouth.
Looking at the two of them, Chu Xiuming laughed, reached out his hand to take Dongdong, and Shen Jin smiled, "Husband."
Chu Xiuming responded and took a muslin cloth to wipe his son carefully. Even if he was in Chu Xiuming's arms, Dongdong would twist his head and stare at Chen Jin's. Chen Jin ate two more and stopped. After coming down, although the food was delicious, it was easy to get angry after eating too much. She still needed to feed the child, so naturally she couldn't eat more, but only watching her son look cute, she kept eating slowly and amusing him.
"How long does the husband think the younger brother can hold on without getting on the carriage?" Shen Jin wiped his hands, then gently tapped his son's cheek with his finger.
Chu Xiuming calculated it for a while and said, "Two or three days."
Shen Jin nodded, "Then do I need to give him medicine tonight?"
"En." Chu Xiuming said while looking at Shen Jin, "let the doctor give you and Dongdong the next pulse every night."
"I see." Shen Jin nodded and said.
Chu Xiuming looked at his son who was about to go to sleep with his eyes closed, and woke him up. It is not time for him to go to bed now. If he sleeps now, he should be disturbed at night.
Dongdong opened his eyes, "Boo!"
Chu Xiuming lowered his head and rubbed his nose lightly with his son and said, "Can't sleep."
In fact, it was very boring when I was on the road. This time I didn’t stop and have fun like when I came here. Now I spend most of my time on the road. After his freshness, he returned to the carriage to rest. Sometimes he would come to Shen Jin's side to ask Chu Xiuming some things.
Chu Xiuming didn't hide himself, and talked about a lot of experience with Shen Xi. Occasionally, the children would be taken care of by Mother Zhao, and Chu Xiuming took Shen Jin to ride outside to relax.
When Emperor Cheng knew that King Rui actually Shen Xi was following Chu Xiuming, he immediately called King Rui to scold him. King Rui kept his head down listening to Emperor Cheng's cursing, and Emperor Cheng angrily said, "What's the matter with you? Thought."
"I just want Xi'er to mix with military skills." King Rui was more aggrieved than Emperor Cheng, and said, "Xuan'er is the elder son, Xi'er doesn't have a knighthood yet."
Chengdi laughed angrily, "Don't you know that the border city is dangerous?"
"I wrote to Shaoyang." King Rui told the truth, "Why don't you write a letter to Shaoyang, Brother Huang? Don't let my Xi'er go to the battlefield."
Emperor Cheng looked at King Rui, with less guesswork in his heart, "Then how to mix military merits?"
King Rui stopped talking, lowered his head and started pretending to be quail again.
Chengdi said, "Get out."
King Rui left obediently, and went to the queen dowager’s palace by the way to find his mother. In fact, King Rui once asked the queen mother that day if Emperor Cheng asked about Shen Xi what he would say, today’s words are The queen mother taught him.
But Emperor Cheng didn’t say anything when he knew it. He turned over Lan Fei’s sign in the evening. Recently, because of the events in Shuzhong, Emperor Cheng was exhausted every day. He just wanted to lie in bed and have a good rest every night. Regarding the matter, Concubine Lan was the most considerate. She wouldn't ask too much, even if she had something to say to Concubine Lan, she would be secretive.
After all, Concubine Lan couldn't have children, she could only rely on herself, and those who had children would inevitably have more selfishness for the children, and those who did not have children wished to be pregnant with the dragon seed as soon as possible.
"This King Rui is simply rotten wood and cannot be carved." Chengdi said with his arms around Fei Lan, kneading her with his hands recklessly.
Concubine Lan lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a somewhat unstable voice, "Your Majesty..."
"Hahaha." The Emperor Cheng squeezed Concubine Lan's chest severely before he stopped teasing and said, "Concubine Ai has something to say."
Concubine Lan took a painful breath, and then said, "If you want to come, the prince trusts your Majesty, so he can speak so bluntly."
Emperor Cheng snorted when he heard the words, "I don't have any abilities at all. If I can't help me, I will find things for me in the future."
Concubine Lan didn't say anything. If King Rui really had the ability, she would not survive now.
"But what Aifei said makes sense," Chengdi said.
Concubine Lan had no relatives outside. She was originally a court lady, and was valued by Emperor Cheng because of her outstanding appearance, so she didn't hesitate to speak at this time, saying, "The prince is better than those who have bad intentions."
When Emperor Cheng thought about the matter in Shuzhong, he didn't get angry and said, "I know what those people thought about going to Shuzhong, but it is of no use at all. Even our second princes are still in the hands of those anti-people. , Lost face."
"Your Majesty calms down your anger." Concubine Lan's voice was soft, "The second prince Hongfu Qitian will surely be fine."
The Emperor Cheng did not tell the courtiers about the son of the English prince. He was also afraid that the hearts of the people would be unstable, and Gong En Gong could not enter the palace often. The queen would cry when he saw him because of his son. The queen mother worshipped the Buddha all day. Not the one who spoke, Chengdi couldn't help but whispered, "I don't know the concubine love, but there is the prince of England in it..."
Concubine Lan exclaimed, "Will the two princes be in danger? Your Majesty should be so worried."
The words were full of worries about Emperor Cheng, and Emperor Cheng snorted and said, "This time I got the news, and I made arrangements early, so I won't be like..." Emperor Xian was so incompetent that he made people approach the city.
Emperor Cheng did not say the following words, Lan Fei heard the words and said, "Your Majesty is still well informed."
As soon as Emperor Cheng wanted to speak, he suddenly thought that this incident was not discovered by his people, but by the Queen’s family, which was discovered by the Queen’s family, and he didn’t get the news. The Palace of Cheng’en actually got it, so he thought it was sincere. The emperor felt uncomfortable in his heart. Thinking about what his mother said that day, he narrowed his eyes and got up and said, "My concubine loves to rest first. I think of it, there are still business affairs left."
"The concubine waits on your majesty." Concubine Lan did not stay, but got up likewise. Because she was going to bed, she only wore a **** cloth pocket and light-colored trousers. After she reached out and pulled her hair up, she let her The maid went to get the clothes, then put them on for Chengdi, and finally knelt on the ground to put on boots for Chengdi.
Chengdi looked at Concubine Lan’s humble appearance, and suddenly thought that the woman who had always been aloof at the time, he would dote on Concubine Lan so much, not only because of Concubine Lan’s appearance, but also because Concubine Lan was somewhat similar to that woman. At that time, the woman was the next queen of the harem, and he was just an unfavorable prince, and his biological mother was even more humble. The first emperor didn’t have their mother and son in the eyes of the first emperor. At that moment, the emperor Cheng suddenly picked up his character and finished serving in the Lan Fei. When he was about to get up in his boots, he suddenly held her head and made her kneel between his legs...
Li Fu took all the people who served in the palace and went out, avoiding others and yawned. Jingxi looked at the door of the house with some worry, and finally bowed her head and said nothing.
After all, it was with a child, so even if Chu Xiuming had to hurry, he couldn’t get there anytime soon, especially when Dongdong suddenly got hot during the middle of the journey, and it took a lot of time. When he finally arrived at the border town, it was almost July. In the middle of the journey, they received a letter from the Royal Palace of Rui. It was a happy event that Shen Qi gave birth to a daughter. It is a pity that things in Shu have not yet been understood. I am afraid that there are only less than a thousand people against the people. The fifty thousand army was difficult to conquer, and even suffered heavy losses. The grain and grass were not sent to the middle of Shu for the army to eat and drink.
In fact, the war in Shuzhong will drag on for so long. It’s no wonder that the second prince is in the hands of the anti-people. There is so much scrupulousness on the court. In particular, Emperor Cheng ordered that the second prince be rescued intact and increased. A lot of difficulty and casualties.
Yongle Hou Shizi and the other rich and powerful sons did not move forward, there was no danger, but they could not return to Beijing, even if they were impatient, it was useless.
Chu Xiuming and the others came back. Chu Xiuyuan personally brought people to pick him up. It hasn't been a year since Chu Xiuyuan has grown a lot, and his whole person has also been tanned a lot. When he saw Chu Xiuming, he walked quickly. Come over and shout, "Brother, sister-in-law."
"I'm strong," Chu Xiuming said, putting his arm around his younger brother and said.
Chu Xiuyuan also hugged hard. Then, Chu Xiuming said, "Brother, sister-in-law, come back soon, I will let people clean up."
Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan up and down, and put the child in his arms directly into his hands, "I haven't seen your nephew yet, hurry up and be intimate with you. Brother Xi, you can help."
Chu Xiuyuan hugged his nephew helplessly, and looked at Chu Xiuming for help, but Chu Xiuming took his little lady's hand and walked into the mansion instead. Shen Xi still couldn't see it, and whispered a few words. Let Chu Xiuyuan hug the child, "Thank you."
On the way, Shen Xi could see how Shen Jin was spoiled by Chu Xiuming. Not only that, Shen Jin was also particularly confused. Sometimes early in the morning, he was directly wrapped in a cloak and sent to the carriage by Chu Xiuming. Shen Xi felt like It’s not that Chu Xiuming’s brother-in-law was there. If my third sister lost her, she didn’t know how she lost it. "My third sister is really heartbreaking."
"The nephew is so small and soft, I can't hold him at all." Although Chu Xiuyuan hugged Dongdong, but he didn't dare to move, he looked at Shen Xi and said, "Brother, take the child quickly. "
"Neither will I!" Shen Xi said, scratching his head, "Mother Zhao, An Ning, hurry up and pick up the child."
Madam Zhao didn't move when she heard the words and said, "Major General and Second Young Master, you should go inside. If you want to come, you can't see the Major General..."
Chu Xiuyuan said, "What if I fall?"
Mother Zhao said with a smile in her eyes, "Madam will cry."
As soon as he said this, Chu Xiuyuan's face changed and changed again. If his sister-in-law cried, his brother...it was in vain that he felt that his brother and sister-in-law would come back when they came back, and this couldn't be more cruel.
Shen Xi also thought of this, and looked at each other with Chu Xiuyuan, "You go inside carefully, I will click from below."
Chu Xiuyuan nodded when he heard the words, and there was no other way. Thanks to Dongdong who was asleep and didn't like to move, otherwise Chu Xiuyuan would not walk around with such a soft baby. Shen Xi really bent over and raised his hands. Below, if Chu Xiuyuan was not careful, he would be able to follow up in time. The two difficult brothers looked at each other and walked inside stiffly and awkwardly.
Mother Zhao followed behind, An Ning followed closely and stared carefully, watching the appearance of Chu Xiuyuan and Shen Xi, Mother Zhao chuckled in her heart, fearing that her wife would dare to use such a method and watch for a short time. From being unfamiliar to the two people who were close to each other, they slowly followed them into the yard.
There were quite a few people in the general’s mansion. They had already prepared their things. When Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin both changed their clothes and freshened out, they saw Chu Xiuyuan, who was stiff and hugged Dongdong, lying on the chair still tired. Shen Xi, from the gate to here, Shen Xi has been walking with his waist down, the road is not much, but the posture is too tiring to hold on.
Shen Jin looked at them and suddenly leaned on Chu Xiuming and laughed, "Brother Yuan looks so silly."
Chu Xiuming hugged his wife, glanced at his younger brother's sad eyes and said, "Yes."
"Sister Sister, you are too much." Shen Xi said with confidence, "Hurry up and take Dongdong away."
Shen Jin kept laughing, but Chu Xiuming nodded to Grandma Zhao. Grandma Zhao then took Dongdong from Chu Xiuyuan's arms. Chu Xiuyuan quickly stood up and moved around. Sister-in-law, this is more tiring than I practiced martial arts for a day."
"Dongdong is not heavy." Shen Jin retorted with a smile after hearing the words.
Chu Xiuyuan said helplessly, "It's just because it's too light and soft, I don't think I can hold it."
Chu Xiuming slapped his little lady's hand, then looked at Shen Xi and said, "This is your sister-in-law's younger brother. You can call him Brother Xi."
Shen Xi smiled and looked at Chu Xiuyuan, and Chu Xiuyuan said, "Brother Xi, I will take you around the border city the next day. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, there are many interesting places."
"Okay." Shen Xi responded with a smile, "Actually you can call me Shen Er or Shen Xi directly."
"Great." Chu Xiuyuan was also a little awkward, and said, "Then call you Shen Er, you call me Chu Er."
"No problem." Shen Xi and Chu Xiuyuan were about the same age, and because they were suffering from each other just now, they quickly reached a consensus.
Shen Jin looked at these two people. If Shen Xi had led Chu Xiuyuan to be stupid, he wondered if her husband would blame him?
Chu Xiuming waited for them to finish speaking before saying, "Just put Shen Xi in Xiuyuan's courtyard."
Chu Xiuyuan responded with one bite, and Chu Xiuming continued, "I'm tired today. Go back and rest. I'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes." Chu Xiuyuan and Shen Xi both responded. Seeing that Chu Xiuming had nothing else to do, they left together.
Shen Jin took his son from Mother Zhao's arms and said, "I will take Dongdong to rest first."
"En." Chu Xiuyuan responded. He had just returned and had some things to deal with. At least he had to see Manager Wang.
Back at the General’s Mansion, whether it was Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin or Grandma Zhao, they all felt a lot more relaxed, with a tired look on their faces. When they returned to the room, Shen Jin said, "Grandma, you go to rest first. Just let other maids take care of her in the past few days."
Madam Zhao didn't try her best, and said, "The old slave has thanked Madam."
An Ping and An Ning looked at each other, An Ping said, "The slave and An Ning take turns to rest. It would be inconvenient if there is no one familiar with the wife."
Shen Jin looked at the two and said, "Can you?"
An Ping said with a smile, "Madam, don't worry."
An Ning also said, "I will stay by my side and serve Madam first."
Shen Jin nodded, Mother Zhao took An Ping to pack her things, An Ning stayed beside Shen Jin and waited on her. Shen Jin asked An Ning to look at Dongdong first. She was taken care of by a few people from Mother Zhao, and she had plenty of milk. Very, Dongdong can't finish it all by himself, and often has to squeeze out some.
Chu Xiuming didn't stay in the study for long, so he returned to the room to have dinner with Shen Jin. Dongdong felt uncomfortable when he came to a strange place. After waking up, he always wanted Shen Jin to hold him and put him in He kept crying on the bed. Shen Jin kept holding Dongdong and softly coaxed him. When Chu Xiuming came back, he looked at Chu Xiuming aggrievedly and said, "Husband, Dongdong is crying."
Taking his son from Shen Jin’s arms, Dongdong, who was originally sleeping, opened his eyes, as if he recognized Chu Xiuming, and grunted twice. When he just started crying, even in Shen Jin’s arms, he had been coaxing him for a long time. Okay, it's much better now.
"It's okay." Chu Xiuming said this to Dongdong and Shen Jin.
Shen Jin responded with a smile. Soon the maid arranged the food. Chu Xiuming had to hold Dongdong, so she ate with one hand. Shen Jin filled Chu Xiuming with soup and put it beside him, "Huh, Dongdong. Do you want to eat?"
Chu Xiuming also looked down, and saw Dongdong's eyes widened and his small mouth kept entering the winter, as if he was eating something, his saliva also flowed out, and Shen Jin took a muslin cloth and wiped his saliva. "You can't eat it." Shen Jin laughed as he gloated.
"Eh." Dongdong looked at his mother innocently, "Eh."
"I can't eat it." Shen Jin nodded Dongdong's little nose and sat back in his position with a smile.
Dongdong twisted his little head, "Eh?"
Chu Xiuming couldn't laugh or cry. He shook his son gently, and then continued to eat. Dongdong opened his small mouth and wriggled non-stop, but because he was in Chu Xiuming's arms, he didn't cry anymore, just aggrieved from time to time. Scream.
When Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin finished their meal, Dongdong was already asleep again.
Because he returned to the border town, even Chu Xiuming relaxed a lot. He chose the nanny to help Shen Jin take care of the children, so that Shen Jin could finally sleep well at night, but because he was used to it during this time, whether it was Chu Xiuming Still, Shen Jin woke up several times at night, and gradually recovered.
Compared with Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin, the situation in Shuzhong is much more severe, and those who oppose the people are asking more and more, and even require Chengdi to grant the king to those who take the lead in the people. Shuzhong is a fief, and it is not affected by the Tianqi dynasty. Ruling, openly demanding the establishment of a country, now even the ministers can't help it. Numerous times they have written letters demanding severe punishment, and even many people have secretly cursed, if the second prince really has some backbone, he committed suicide.
In the capital city, many things are inconvenient. Even Chu Xiuming is not well-versed in the news. After arriving in the border city, some news may be known before Emperor Cheng.
In the study of the General Mansion, Chu Xiuming looked at Director Wang and Guan Shi and said, "I am going to lead my troops to patrol the border again. This time I will take Xiuyuan with him."
"The matter over the city..." Manager Wang frowned and asked, if Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan were not in the border city, there would be no one in charge.
In the previous period, Chu Xiuming was in the capital, and everyone assisted Chu Xiuyuan to deal with the affairs. Although they did more things, some things that were not easy to deal with were sent to the capital to let Chu Xiuming make a decision. But in the end, the need for a person to sit down is like an extra backbone.
"I'm going to hand it over to Madam." Chu Xiuming said what he had planned for a long time, "You come to assist Madam."
Guan Shi heard this and said, "It's okay."
Manager Wang thought about Shen Jin's performance when the barbarian besieged the city at that time. He hesitated and nodded. Chu Xiuming looked at the two people and said, "I will leave next month. During this time, make some arrangements."
It was the first time for Shen Xi to come to a place like Border Town. He was born in Beijing and grew up in Beijing. He has never seen such a scene before. The first time he went out with Chu Xiuyuan, he saw people coming and going on the street and talking to Chu Xiu. Yuan seemed to be casual but with a respectful attitude, and his heart was full of shock, "No wonder Beijing says that the people in the border towns are sturdy."
Chu Xiuyuan said with a smile, "Because it won't work if it's not sturdy, my sister-in-law likes this ravioli so you can try it too."
Shen Xi has never used anything in such a place, but he also knows the four words "being in the countryside", and was taught very well by Princess Rui, and said, "Okay."
Chu Xiuyuan took Shen Xi to find a place to sit down, and skillfully ordered two bowls of wontons, "I will have to use rice later when I go home, just try something fresh."
Shen Xi nodded. The boss knew Chu Xiuyuan too, and soon brought their wontons up, and saw Shen Xi smiling, "Is this Madam's younger brother? He looks good."
Chu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Yes, I specially brought him to you to taste it."
"Hahaha, Madam loves my wontons, I don't know what happened to the young master?" the boss said cheerfully.
Chu Xiuyuan said, "My sister-in-law is still talking about it these few days, but because the child is too young to be able to leave, I can't come out."
The boss heard the words and said, "I'll decorate my wife with wontons and soup base, the major general will take it back and eat it once it's cooked."
"I'll let the people in the house come and get them later. I didn't bring anyone out today." Chu Xiuyuan smiled. The boss agreed and didn't delay their eating, so he went busy again.
Seeing Shen Xi's shocked eyes, Chu Xiuyuan explained, "Sister-in-law and these people are also very familiar."
Shen Xi nodded and said, "It's still comfortable here." If there is no barbarian threat, he wants to take his mother and sister over.
The two didn't say anything. They lowered their heads and ate. When they went back, the boss didn't collect the money, and repeatedly told Chu Xiuyuan to remember to let someone come and get something.
On the way back, Chu Xiuyuan said, "Actually, the atmosphere here is like this, because when there is a real war, both men and women, young and old, will kill the enemy."
Shen Xi felt as if he had subverted all his cognition over the past ten years, Chu Xiuyuan said, "Do you know why these people like sister-in-law so much?"
"I don't know." Shen Xi also found out. People often ask about Shen Jin when they see them. The respect and closeness in his eyes cannot be faked.
Chu Xiuyuan whispered, "I'm afraid my sister-in-law didn't tell you. That was when my sister-in-law just married, and my brother was leading the soldiers. At that time, the barbarian besieged the city for a long time, and the soldiers who defended the city were almost killed and injured. It was all the people in the city who went up to kill the enemy together. I was seriously injured... It was my sister-in-law who stood up at the time." Chu Xiuyuan pointed to the distant city wall, "Just stood there, and then we thought we couldn't wait for my brother. , There was a place of refuge in the mansion, so the sister-in-law let the children in the city hide in, and gave the children the seal of her princess and other tokens..."
These things haven’t been long since, so it’s still vivid to speak of it at this time. Chu Xiuyuan’s tone didn’t have any ups and downs, he just narrated it straightforwardly, but Shen Xi was dumbfounded and couldn’t imagine the danger at that time. There was also the appearance of Shen Jin, Chu Xiuyuan continued, "At that time there was not much food and grass in the city, and those who were easy to swallow were left for the wounded. My sister-in-law followed us to eat chaff and other things, and she had to take care of them every day. The wounded... lasted his life until my brother came back."
"Didn't the court send reinforcements?" Shen Xi couldn't help but asked.
Chu Xiuyuan smiled and didn't say anything. During the time that Chu Xiuming left, Chu Xiuyuan also grew a lot.
Seeing this, Shen Xi thought of Princess Rui's words, and forcibly resisted without further questioning. When he returned to the gate of the General's Mansion, he saw a small servant waiting. He said, "Major General, the General, please come over. "
Chu Xiuyuan nodded, "I'm going to find my brother first, you..."
"I'm going to see the third sister." Shen Xi looked up at the words General Mansion. He was in a mess now, and Chu Xiuming obviously had something to do, so now he could only find Shen Jin.
Chu Xiuyuan responded, waved his hand and instructed people to get something from the wonton stall, and then left first.
When Shen Xi saw Shen Jin, he saw Shen Jin looking at Xiao Budian and Dongdong lying on the stall, with his tail facing Dongdong. When Dongdong stretched out his hand to catch, Xiao Duan swayed and let Dongdong grab it. Before that, Shen Jin kept smiling, even Mother Zhao and the others didn't stop them, but instead paid attention, such as tying a bell to Little Dot's tail.
Looking at Shen Jin like this, Shen Xi always felt that there was no way to put Shen Jin in Chu Xiuyuan's mouth.
Shen Jin also saw Shen Xi and said with a smile, "Brother Xi, come and see, it's fun."
Shen Xi was a little bit dumbfounded. Mother Zhao saw that Shen Xi had something to do, so she took the initiative to say, "Madam, the young master is afraid that he is also tired.
"Okay." Shen Jin responded with a smile.
Madam Zhao picked up Dongdong, and Shen Jin patted the small dog's head and said, "Well, I'll explain to the kitchen that I will cook a beef bone for you someday."
"Wow." Xiao Budian yelled, wagging his tail, and left.
Then Shen Xi said, "San Jie, I have something to ask you."
"Okay." Shen Jin stood up with Anping's hand, then put on his shoes and said, "Shall we go sit outside for a while? It's a little hot in the room."
Shen Xi nodded, and the two walked to the outside pavilion. After sitting down, Anping brought tea and cakes. Shen Jin asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mother said she asked me to ask the third sister and the third sister-in-law if I didn't understand." Shen Xi said.
Shen Jin took a sip of the iced sour plum soup, and said, "Well, ask."
Shen Xi didn't know where to ask, until he finished drinking a cup of sour plum soup, then he said, "Did the court send reinforcements back then?"
Shen Jin stunned and looked at Shen Xi with some doubts. Shen Xi said when he saw this, "It was not long after the third sister got married at that time. The barbarian besieged the city."
"Oh." Shen Jin remembered, "No."
Shen Xi asked, "Why?"
"Because Your Majesty doesn't want to save us." Shen Jin answered naturally.
But this answer made Shen Xi stunned. He actually guessed this faintly, but he didn't expect Shen Jin to answer directly like this. The whole person's face turned pale, and he still said unacceptably, "But isn't this the frontier of Apocalypse?" If the city is really broken, it means that those barbarians will drive straight into it."
"Yes." Shen Jin poured a cup of sour plum soup for Shen Xi again, "Don't be afraid, it's already over."
Shen Xi wanted to say that he was not afraid, but he didn't know how to say it. He drank the sour plum soup in one sip, and Shen Jin said, "I am afraid that in your Majesty's heart, it is more important to get rid of the husband than the barbarians to break the city."
"Is it okay for you to tell me so bluntly?" Shen Xi didn't know what to say, and asked for a long time.
Shen Jin glanced at Shen Xi suspiciously, "But didn't you ask me? And since the mother concubine said something like that to you, she didn't hide it from you."
Shen Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking of what his mother said before leaving, seemed to understand a little bit, but it made him a little unable to accept it.
"Gong Gao Zhenzhu..." Shen Xi murmured.
Shen Jin smiled and didn't say anything. In fact, Shen Jin always felt that it was a timid act to kill heroes for reasons like Gao Zhenzhu. It could also be because of Chu Xiuming's reasons that people's hearts are inevitably biased.
Shen Xi pursed his lips and said, "The third brother-in-law..." Shen Xi couldn't say anything afterwards.
Shen Jin understood, and said with certainty, "No." Even if Chu Xiuming really did something, Shen Jin believed that he would still be a member of the Shen family in the end.
Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He grew up in the Royal Palace of Rui. He knew a lot about things. He wouldn’t ask why the third brother-in-law didn’t hand over the military power. If he did, the Emperor Cheng would not allow Chu Xiuming to live. After coming down, besides Chu Xiuming, Shen Xi really couldn't think of anyone who could guard the frontier, "By the way, what about cousin Ruyang?"
"Do you want to see them?" Shen Jin looked at Shen Xi and asked.
Shen Xi thought for a while and nodded and said, "I want to see them."
"Then I will let someone take you tomorrow." Shen Jin didn't mean to stop it.
Shen Xi responded. He was in a mess now, and he was even more dizzy than when he came. Shen Jin looked for a long time, and found that Shen Xi was in a daze, so he looked at Anning and said, "Find someone to guard, I'm going back to accompany him. Dongdong."
"Yes." An Ning responded.
Shen Jin no longer cares about Shen Xi, after all, where is such a big brother who has a soft and cute son.
When Shen Xi recovered, Shen Jin was long gone, but he was not in the mood to say anything, but Shen Jin told Chu Xiuming about Shen Xi at night, and Chu Xiuming arranged for Yue Wendai the next morning. Shen Xi went to see Princess Zhaoyang and the others. After seeing Princess Zhaoyang and the group of people came back, Shen Xi locked herself in the room for several days before meeting Shen Jin again and asked, "Sister, you know Zhaoyang. What about cousins and their situation?"
"I know." Shen Jin didn't know why Shen Xi would ask such a question, and said, "I told Brother Yuan to do this."
Shen Xi stared at himself, the puzzled third sister, especially the third sister who was asking him plainly in her apricot eyes, is there any problem with this?
"That's not good." Shen Xi hesitated and said.
Shen Jin asked, "Why is it bad?"
Shen Xi couldn't tell, Shen Jin asked again, "Those people, every day, people send food, clothes and books to them. I heard people say that they have gained a lot of weight. Do they still need anything else? ?"
Such a natural attitude made Shen Xi feel that it would be too much to ask for them. Shen Xi took a deep breath and said, "I understand what my mother meant, and I can figure it out for Third Sister."
"Oh." Shen Jin was even more puzzled, not knowing what Shen Xi was thinking.
Shen Xi said, "Don't worry about the third sister! I will never betray the third sister-in-law! Nor will I tell the capital, let alone betray the trust the third sister has placed in me."
Shen Jin blinked, "Oh, I never worry about it."
Shen Xi said with a touch of emotion, "Sister Sister, I'm going to find the third sister-in-law, I am going to train with the soldiers."
"Oh." Shen Jin replied, watching Shen Xi run away, looking at Grandma Zhao inexplicably, "What the **** is Brother Xi here for? But it's good for him to go and practice more."
"Is the madam really worried?" Madam Zhao asked.
Shen Jin nodded and said, "No, without his husband's consent, he can't send news to the capital at all, why should I worry?"
Grandma Zhao let out a sigh of relief, and sure enough, some truths were still hidden.
