Chapter 13
Chen Jin looked at the man in front of him with a brocade robe with a brilliant face like a jade-like appearance, and was stunned. Then he looked at Chu Xiuyuan who was sitting with the man and talking to him. He turned to look at Anping beside him, and finally looked at the man again. He still couldn't believe that this man was Yongning Bo, as if he was crazy cursive and suddenly turned into a small seal script...
The man noticed Chen Jin's expression, and the somewhat confused and entangled look made him laugh and said, "Madam, don't you know him as a husband?"
I've never known each other, okay? Chen Jin pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but she didn't know that things could not be hidden on her face, and the man laughed.
Chu Xiuyuan's face was a little pale, but he said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, he is indeed the eldest brother."
The promised noodles are like Zhong Kui, who has a cruel personality and likes to eat raw meat and drink blood every day. Do you have to kill someone to have fun?
Chen Jin sat opposite Chu Xiuming and did not speak. But after laughing, Chu Xiuming said, "In six days, the people from the court will arrive."
"Hmph, the battle is over, what's the point of coming?" Chu Xiuyuan said angrily.
"What should I do if they don't come?" Compared to Chu Xiuyuan, Chu Xiuming was very calm. When he sat like this, he was like the people in the painting. Chen Jin felt that if the ladies in the capital really saw Chu Xiuming's appearance, he would not know if he would regret it.
And looking at the charm of his every move, he didn't look like he had never read a book... Just look at it like this, Chu Xiuming didn't look like a general at all, but a noble young man.
Looking at his wife who was running away again, Chu Xiuming sighed helplessly, looked at his younger brother, and Chu Xiuyuan shrugged. He didn't get along much with this sister-in-law, but he didn't find Chen Jin's fault, "Sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law?" Chu Xiuyuan loudered his voice and shouted.
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment before looking at Chu Xiuyuan. Her face, which had finally been slightly rounded, became thinner, making her eyes look round and watery, "What's wrong?"
Chu Xiuming smiled and said, "What do you think of madam?"
Chen Jin moved his lips and blushed. She was embarrassed to tell Chu Xiuming what she was thinking, "I didn't think about anything."
Chu Xiuming did not ask, but said, "When the people from the court come, will the wife be willing to help her husband receive her?"
"Me?" Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming, with three words written on his face.
Chu Xiuming just pretended that he didn't see it and said, "Yes, because his husband and brother were seriously injured and could not get up. The only one who could decide in the mansion was left, so I can only trouble the wife."
Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming, who was seriously injured and unable to get up, and then looked at Chu Xiuyuan, then responded, "Oh." He asked slowly, "What do I need to do?"
Chu Xiuming said, "I will let Madam Zhao tell you."
"Okay." Chen Jin then responded.
Chu Xiuming said, "Then let's have a meal."
In the current situation, even the food eaten by the General's Mansion cannot be very refined. However, there is no shortage of meat on the table, and it is all horse meat. At that time, the war horses that were killed were all fixed, and everyone had horse meat. The injured and undestroyed war horses were kept in the camp, and they were all good horses.
Horse meat is actually very unpalatable, especially this kind of war horse meat. It not only tastes bad but also is very hard. Chen Jin was reluctant to eat it after taking it for a bite.
The war was over, and Chen Jin became a little spoiled again. She would not waste food, but would no longer force herself to eat the things that were difficult to swallow.
Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan's brothers had a very delicious meal, while Chen Jin ate the steamed buns of mixed noodles and ate some pickled soup. After a few people finished their meal, Anping went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of stewed donkey-hide gelatin and put it in front of Chu Xiuyuan.
"Sister-in-law..." Chu Xiuyuan would get such a bowl of things alone these days, "I think I'm ready."
"It's blood-enhancing." Chen Jin said, "I asked the doctor, you can eat something."
Donkey-hide gelatin is very nourishing to women, so there are a lot of Chen Jin's dowry, but it tastes very troublesome. The medicinal materials and other types of Chen Jin's dowry have been emptied, and most of the donkey-hide gelatin is left. Chu Xiuyuan was seriously injured and did not have a good rest. Now he is young, and he will suffer from injuries when he is old.
After Chen Jin asked the doctor, he started to let Chu Xiuyuan drink donkey-hide gelatin on time every day. This is for blood replenishment. Seeing that Chu Xiuyuan was suffering from drinking, he advised, "After a while, I will change it for you when other tonics are delivered."
Chu Xiuyuan also knew that Chen Jin was kind-hearted, but he thought this thing should be drunk by women, and the weakest one at home was obviously Chen Jin.
After Chu Xiuyuan finished drinking, Chen Jin stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"I'll move to my yard these days, and I'll move to my yard." Chu Xiuming said, "You can clean up the things and things first."
Chen Jin's face turned red. She almost forgot about this. She bit her lower lip and left without answering.
When the war broke out, Chu Xiuming said that Madam Zhao was not in the border town. She left the border town to visit relatives not long after the New Year. She bought a lot of food and brought it back in the past two days.
Madam Zhao looked only about forty years and looked very kind. I heard that it was the big maid next to Chu Xiuming's two mothers. After Mrs. Chu died, she became more ungrateful as Chu Xiuyuan, so she was very decent in the general's mansion.
However, Chen Jin and she had never had any relationship. In the case where Chen Jin had just married, Madam Zhao would not serve Chen Jin. Later, she went to visit relatives again.
Madam Zhao had already received the order to wait for Chen Jin in the yard. When she saw Chen Jin, she stood up and saluted, "Madam."
Chen Jin nodded with a smile and said, "Please trouble Madam."
Madam Zhao said, "It is the honor of the old slave to be able to serve his wife."
"Anping poured tea for the nanny." Chen Jin did not answer the words but just ordered.
"Yes." An Ping went down to prepare after greeting.
Chen Jin said, "Madam, sit down first."
After Chen Jin sat down, she sat down on the chair. Chen Jin narrowed her eyes as she looked at Madam Zhao's posture. Just when Chu Xiuming called her Madam Zhao, Chen Jin had doubts that those who could be called Madam were usually those who had missed their master's family's descendants. Another situation was that they came out of the palace.
Now it seems that Madam Zhao is likely to have two types of things, because her sitting posture and etiquette are not something that ordinary servants can practice. Princess Rui also invited the maids in the palace to teach them specifically for Chen Jin and the other sisters. Chen Jin learned very seriously, so she could see this familiarity with these things at once.
But Chen Jin felt that Madam Zhao felt a little different from the madam who taught her at the beginning. It seemed that Madam Zhao looked more concise and natural, but she learned it a little more complicated and paid more attention to it.
Although he was confused, Chen Jin would not ask. Even if the attitude of the general's mansion now seemed to accept her, it was still different. She was the daughter of King Rui and the princess of the court. The border town and the court were not as harmonious as it looked in the capital.
Anping quickly brought the tea and brought the brown sugar water to Chen Jin. The brown sugar was in the batch of supplies brought back by Madam Zhao. Anping knew the time of Chen Jin's life, but this time it was about to arrive but never came, so Anping went to the housekeeper to ask for brown sugar and let Chen Jin drink some.
Madam Zhao took a look and realized that Chu Xiuming asked her to come not only to teach Chen Jin some things, but also to help regulate her body, and specifically talked about Chen Jin's hand.
"Drink some while it's hot," Anping advised softly.
Chen Jin nodded. This thing was not rare at the time, but it was a rare thing in the border town today. He held the brown sugar water in both hands and drank a few sips before saying with a smile, "My grandma teaches me, if the envoy from the court comes, how should I receive it?"
Madam Zhao was a little fat and looked very gentle. She took a sip of tea and put it aside. When she heard Chen Jin's words, she said, "Why are you worried about how to receive them?"
"They were sent by the emperor." Chen Jin looked at Madam Zhao and asked, "It means the emperor."
Madam Zhao didn't say that Chen Jin was wrong, but just said, "Where is your identity, madam?"
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment and understood what Madam Zhao meant. She was a real royal relative. Not to mention the title of princess, her husband was also a general who was guarding the country.
"And if the wife is kind to drink and eat and treat them gently, the court will be worried." Madam Zhao said gently.
"I understand." Chen Jin pursed his lips.
"There are also stations in the city, just let them live directly." Madam Zhao saw that Chen Jin understood, and smiled, "Madam, as you are, it is worth being arrogant. Even in the capital, there are not many people who can make her bow their heads."
Chen Jin moved his lips and said, "I'll try my best."
Arrogant? Chen Jin thought of Chen Zi's appearance, if it were her own, she always felt something...is not right.
Madam Zhao also knew Chen Jin's identity. Although she was the daughter of King Rui, she would not be favored if she could be married here. Although Madam Zhao felt that Chu Xiuming's brothers were so good, she could not resist the bad reputation outside. It seemed that she had to teach a lot. However, with Chen Jin's care for Chu Xiuyuan, Madam Zhao was willing to work hard for her.
Moreover, Mama Zhao also heard about Chen Jin's performance in the border town. She thought Chen Jin was very smart and was a talent for making...
Soon Madam Zhao wanted to withdraw her evaluation of Chen Jin. She felt that Chen Jin perfectly corrected her words. The rabbit would bite people when she was anxious. Chen Jin was like a rabbit, and she would only stand up in times of crisis. She usually looked soft and even if someone pulled her ear and poked her stomach, she would not be angry. At most, she would continue to hang out in another place.
But when a leopard stands behind the rabbit, I want to pull my ears and poke my stomach? Haha, the leopard will bite you to death first.
