Chapter 15

The next day, the general's mansion received the imperial edict in a regular manner, but Chu Xiuming's face was pale and the smell of medicine was still a little bloody, as if he was seriously injured and had not recovered yet. Chu Xiuyuan did not come out at all. According to Chen Jin, Chu Xiuyuan was injured even more severely and could not get up at all. The doctor said that moving around now would be hindering his life.

The two messengers were dissatisfied, but they could not force Chu Xiuyuan to stand up regardless of his life.

Chen Jin kept holding Chu Xiuming, who was "seriously injured". After receiving the imperial edict, Chu Xiuming was helped to rest. Chen Jin moved into the general's mansion as he looked at the rewarded things.

They were all gold, silver and jewelry, and I also gave them a gift to Liangtian Villa. Even Chenjin had several sets of imperial jewelry and a lot of fabrics, but they were not even useful. Liangtian Villa was all in the capital, and there was no shortage of jewelry and fabrics. Gold, silver and jewelry could be seen but not eaten. They didn’t even mention the food and medicinal materials they needed.

Chen Jin saw something in the warehouse and suddenly asked, "Where is the grain?"

The envoy knew Chen Jin's identity and appreciated Chen Jin's power yesterday. Today he was quite respectful and said, "The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Revenue to prepare food, supplies and other things, and will be transported to the border town in the near future."

Even if Chen Jin didn't know anything, he understood that this was hard to say in the near future, so he looked at the messenger, "What about?"

The messenger looked puzzled, what?

"When is it lately?" Chen Jin asked.

The messenger spoke, "The lower official doesn't know."

Chen Jin nodded. As soon as the messenger breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Chen Jin's naive voice say, "Then you write a letter to go back and ask."

What to ask? Should I ask the emperor or the Minister of Revenue? No matter who Chen Jin means to ask, it is not something they can afford to mess with!

Chen Jin seemed to be not sure that he was making trouble for the messenger, "By the way, I would like to send a few letters to my father, mother and two married sisters. Anyway, your memorials will be sent back to the capital."

The messenger understood this, and Chen Jin meant to ask them to ask the emperor.

"And I remember the memorial would be faster than the ordinary letter." Chen Jin looked at the messenger with an ugly face, frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unwilling to help me?"

In fact, Chen Jin frowned at all, but she was a little cute. After all, her eyes were round and childish, but the two messengers didn't feel anything. The messenger lowered his head and said respectfully, "The Lord has his life, let me return to Beijing quickly after finishing the work."

"Writing a letter does not take time." Chen Jin said, "Come, Bimo serves the two adults."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the servants in the mansion had closed the gate of the general's mansion, then moved the table and took pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and laid the paper thoughtfully, "Please, two sirs."

Chen Jin said, "Those two sirs are busy, so I will go in and write to my father and the others." After that, she turned around and left. Because she wanted to accept the order, she wore Mrs. Bo's formal outfit today and couldn't walk fast at all. Even so, the two envoys dared not step forward to stop her.

"Madam Bo stays there, why don't I wait until I return to the post station before writing?" the messenger said with a raised voice.

Chen Jin did not answer, but looked at Madam Zhao. Madam Zhao didn't raise her head, but said, "My lady has not had a meal when she gets up early in the morning. I have already asked someone to prepare red dates and millet porridge."

Recently, many well-informed merchants have started to deliver goods here, and Chu Xiuming has arranged people to purchase them around the country. The food in the General's Mansion is much better than before. At least Chen Jin doesn't have to watch them eat horse meat every day.

"Okay." Chen Jin decisively put the two messengers behind his mind.

Anping did not follow Chen Jin, but stayed to look at the two envoys, and asked respectfully with a smile on his face, "Do you know that the two envoys need to inform the kitchen to prepare lunch?"

What the implication is that if you don’t finish writing it, you want to go out? How is that possible?

When Chen Jin went back, he found Chu Xiuming sitting in her yard with his eyes wide open. He looked at Chu Xiuming and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chu Xiuming raised his eyebrows and did not say anything. Instead, Ma Ma Zhao smiled and said, "I'll go and urge some to let the kitchen serve." After that, he left. Because the border town needs to be rebuilt and many places require manpower, there are not many people in Chen Jin's courtyard. When Ma Ma Zhao left, Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin were left in the courtyard.

This was the first time Chen Jin was alone with Chu Xiuming. He was a little nervous. Seeing Chu Xiuming looking at him, although he didn't speak, Chen Jin also saw Chu Xiuming's meaning.

Chen Jin was able to stay with Princess Rui in Princess Rui's side and please Princess Rui because she was very good at looking at people. Before Princess Rui could speak, she could bring over what Princess Rui wanted or needed. Princess Rui's favorite tea temperature and favorite food tastes are even more clearly remembered.

He made mistakes at the beginning, but later he became much more skilled, so there was no obstacle for Chen Jin to communicate with Chu Xiuming like this.

Chu Xiuming had actually felt something, but because his younger brother was present, he did not show it. Today he was sure, and he also had some guesses about Chen Jin's situation in Prince Rui's Mansion. Such a wink and carefulness were not something that could be achieved by nature, but was trained over the years.

As the daughter of King Rui, Chen Jin was able to develop such skills, which shows what life he lived in King Rui's Mansion. Moreover, Chu Xiuming had heard Mr. Wang and others tell him about Chen Jin's performance after coming to the border town, and he had some guesses in his mind, but it was difficult to ask directly about these things, and he just waited for a slow observation later.

"Sit down." Chu Xiuming is actually not difficult to get along with, and he is not the person who kills the rumor. I don't know if it was Chen Jin's illusion. She always felt that Chu Xiuming's eyebrows were not only cold but also a faint melancholy, but this temperament made him even more attractive.

"Yeah." Chen Jin responded and then sat next to Chu Xiuming.

Chu Xiuming seemed not to see Chen Jin's carefulness, and smiled and asked, "Did those two messengers just now make things difficult for you?"

Chen Jin was shook his eyes by Chu Xiuming's smile and said, "No, but I asked them to write a letter to go back and ask when the food and grass will be delivered, and by the way, I will send me a few letters to my father and the others." It was like asking Chu Xiuming for his opinion, "Do you think I did the right thing?"

In fact, someone had already told Chu Xiuming about Chen Jin in the front yard, and said, "You have done everything, what if I say something wrong?"

Chen Jin's face turned pale and she moved her lips, "What should I do..."

"I'm kidding." Chu Xiuming saw Chen Jin's appearance and said softly, "Don't worry, you're doing a good job."

Chen Jin bulged his cheeks and wanted to stare at Chu Xiuming for a few times but didn't dare, but in the end he lowered his head and said nothing.

Chu Xiuming chuckled and reached out to hold Chen Jin's hand. His five fingers were long and much bigger than Chen Jin's hand. He could wrap all Chen Jin's hands in a flash. Chen Jin shoved his hand out in a panic, but found that he couldn't pull it out at all. Chu Xiuming pinched it gently and said, "Don't be angry."

"No." Chen Jin blushed. Although he raised his head, his eyes didn't dare to fall on Chu Xiuming's face.

"Then what are you going to write to your father-in-law?" Chu Xiuming asked.

Chen Jin then said, "I want something, my mother said, if I lack something, I can write a letter to go home, they will send it to me." The words were filled with a little smugness, "I want some tonics and spices, and I also want to tell me that I can't eat the things here, and ask them to send some dried vegetables, fruits, and candied bacon... I actually prefer to eat the ham that my brother-in-law gave to my mother last year. It was a bit sweet and fragrant. Whether it was roasted or stewed, it tasted very good. I wonder if she would send me some to my sister this time."

Chu Xiuming listened to Chen Jin whispering constantly, without any impatience, but instead brought some interest.

"I think my brother will definitely like that kind of ham too." Chen Jin was afraid that Chu Xiuming would feel greedy, so he pulled Chu Xiuyuan out, "There are also dried shrimps as big as a palm. Although they are a bit salty, the cooking is delicious. Husband, you will definitely like it..."

Chu Xiuming looked at Chen Jin with a soft look. When she stopped, she reached out and pinched Chen Jin's face. As expected, she felt very good. If she was fatter, she would definitely be better. "Grow up quickly."

"Ah?" Chen Jin's hand was finally liberated from Chu Xiuming's hand. He covered his face and looked at Chu Xiuming with a puzzled look.

Chu Xiuming didn't say anything else, but looked at Madam Zhao standing outside with a food box and a maid, "Please help your wife in and change clothes." Although Madam Bo's formal clothes were gorgeous, it was not convenient to eat.

Madam Zhao handed the food box in her hand to the maid beside her, then came in and said, "Yes." Then she helped Chen Jin walk into the house.

When the maids saw Chu Xiuming nodding, they came in and started to arrange the food.

After this exchange, Chen Jin felt that Chu Xiuming was very gentle and treated her very well. Thinking of Chu Xiuming holding her hand, his little face turned red, bit his lower lip, and his eyes showed a little shyness. Madam Zhao saw all of this, and a little smile appeared on her face, and said, "Today, the general specially ordered the kitchen to steam the cake. I went and see it. Not only were there dates and some walnut kernels."

"Really?" Chen Jin's eyes lit up, but she forgot about being shy, and instead looked at Madam Zhao with anticipation.

Mama Zhao's eyes twitched. Shouldn't the point be the general's instructions?

"Yes." Madam Zhao acted frankly to help Chen Jin remove too many hair accessories on her head and said, "The general specially bought walnut kernels. Didn't the lady say she wanted to eat walnut kernels yesterday?"

"Why are there raisins in there?" Chen Jin continued.

Madam Zhao paused with her clothes and said, "Yes, the general knew that her wife liked to eat, so she sincerely told the kitchen and put raisins in it."

"That's great." Chen Jin smiled and took the clothes and started changing himself, urging him, "Well, hurry up, the cake is so hot that it tastes delicious. I ate it a few times in the capital, but unfortunately my mother doesn't love this thing. I have to accompany my mother for breakfast, but I haven't eaten it a few times."

This time, Mama Zhao not only twitched her eyes but also her lips. She felt that the general was still far away when she was growing up. She sighed quietly and glanced at Chen Jin's back. It was so sad. When will she be able to hold the little master? There is always a feeling of nowhere.
