Chapter 29
After reading the letter, Chen Jin asked Mama Zhao and the others to come in, and moved some boxes and things. The most important ones were Princess Rui's Bigeni rice and the clothes made by Princess Chen.
Those who served moved their things into the house and went out, leaving only Madam Zhao and Anping in the house.
"Madam Zhao, who belongs to my mother?" Chen Jin asked, looking at a bunch of things big and small.
Mama Zhao found the box with Concubine Chen's signature, and Chen Jin went over and opened it.
The mother and daughter Lianxin are right. Concubine Chen is not as good as Chen Jin's size, but the summer clothes he makes are just right. Not only that, he also makes a lot of autumn and winter clothes, but those are bigger than summer clothes. Even if Chen Jin grows taller, she can be worn next year.
Moreover, Concubine Chen is not the styles that are popular in the capital, but more like those that are popular in the border town. However, the styles are more beautiful and novel, but I don’t know how Concubine Chen knows them.
After Chen Jin finished reading it, he asked An Ping to put it away carefully. The box of the Bigenius rice was also carried in, with a label on it. Chen Jin tore it open the box and opened it. The rice was put in the bag. Chen Jin untied his pocket and grabbed it from it, "I'll eat this tonight."
Madam Zhao smiled and said, "I'm going to give instructions to the kitchen now."
Chen Jin nodded, then rolled up his sleeves and revealed his white and tender arms. In fact, Chen Jin didn't look fat, and had a strong and moderate feeling. However, this just looked. Chu Xiuming hugged Chen Jin so he was very clear. In fact, Chen Jin's body was soft and fleshy.
Her forearms are very beautiful, not the skinny and thin, but a kind of round and smooth beauty. Chen Jin inserted his hand into the rice bag and stirred it for a long time. Finally, he looked at Chu Xiuming with confusion, "Where is the mother and I having fun?"
Chu Xiuming raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Jin. Chen Jin obediently gave up his seat. Chu Xiuming rolled up his sleeves and reached in. Not long after, he came out with a wooden box, and handed the wooden box to Chen Jin. He went to the copper basin next to him to clean his hands, "Below."
Although she only said three words, Chen Jin heard the meaning from Chu Xiuming's eyes and words. It was not that she had no arms but that she was too short to find it!
He snorted angrily, Chen Jin put the wooden box on the dressing table next to it, with a small lock on it, "Where is the key?"
Chu Xiuming had already wiped his hands dry and looked at Chen Jin after hearing this, "Ask me?"
"Yes." Chen Jin said for granted.
Chu Xiuming thought for a while and asked, "Find out the box of jewelry given by Princess Rui." This was said to Mama Zhao. He walked to Chen Jin and looked at the exquisite little lock, with a plum blossom on it.
Chen Jin also leaned over and looked at it, and reached out and pulled it twice. The lock looked small but very strong.
Madam Zhao quickly found the box of jewelry. When Chu Xiuming saw that Chen Jin was still studying the small lock, he opened the jewelry box himself. It was a three-layer jewelry box with a small drawer underneath.
Chu Xiuming looked around carefully and found a pair of plum blossom-style earrings, then handed them to Chen Jin. Chen Jin took them and tried them and opened the lock. There were a stack of silver notes in the wooden box, including whole and small ones. Chen Jin took them out and saw that it was 500,000 taels. Her dowry was calculated to be less than 100,000 taels.
Chen Jin was a little stunned, then looked at Chu Xiuming and then looked at the silver notes, "Is this for me?"
Chu Xiuming did not expect Princess Rui to make such a big deal. Although he had speculated about it after seeing the letter, he did not confirm Princess Rui's attitude. I am afraid that the money in Princess Rui's mansion is not so much. Although Princess Rui is rich, many things cannot be moved, just like the Zhuangzi given by the emperor. Princes Rui can only collect rent every year, but has no right to sell it.
There will be no direct reward of silver for the reward in the palace. Chu Xiuming even suspected that the silver was unaware of the King of Ai.
It would be a pity for a woman like Princess Rui to marry Princess Rui.
Chen Jin touched the silver notes, put them back in the wooden box, and then covered them with the lock and keys and gave them to Chu Xiuming, "Give it to you, you have collected the silver from my mother's wife, but you must be nice to me."
Chu Xiuming also realized that the silver was given to him by Princess Rui through Chen Jin's hand. He narrowed his eyes and took the box without saying anything.
Not only Princess Rui, but even Princess Chen prepared something for Chu Xiuming, but Princess Rui was different. Princess Chen made a total of her daughter, and she only thought that Chu Xiuming could be better for her daughter.
Chen Jin did not eat the seafood she wanted at night because these things needed to be prepared in advance. After all, they were all dry goods, but the kitchen made other things. Anyway, Chen Jin didn't care if they could be eaten sooner or later.
Because it was already a little late and many things were not packed out, Chen Jin had time to distribute the remaining things. When everything was finished the next day, Chen Jin would divide the things.
Not only Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan, but also Ma Ma Zhao, An Ping and General Manager Wang, who had his right arm broken, saw the servants in the mansion running around holding things, constantly carrying things from Chen Jinyuan to each other.
Although Chen Jin was not a big deal, he was not a stingy person. Even Butler Wang got a piece of brocade given by the emperor, not to mention Anping and Madam Zhao. She also chose the color Anping and the others like to give it.
After delivering the goods, Chen Jin wanted to ask the second butler, but the maid went there and found out that the second butler was called by Chu Xiuming. Anping smiled and said, "Madam wants to know about the matter in the capital, why don't you ask me?"
"Do you know?" Chen Jin looked at An Ping in surprise.
Anping smiled and said, "In the past few days, I have arranged for the little girl to pester the old men and servants to talk to the old men and servants from the capital, but I have inquired a lot of news."
Madam Zhao also knew about this, and she also had her instructions. I think the second housekeeper didn't say it because he couldn't say it, but it was not easy to say it on the surface, so the maids and servants in the mansion found out all the news clearly.
Anping responded and said, "I heard that my wife's second sister married the eldest son of the Zheng family, and the eldest son of the Zheng family was very good at studying."
Chen Jin also knew that Chen Zi had married into the Zheng family and heard that he was the most noble. The eldest son of the Zheng family was well-versed in poetry and songs, and many ladies had his collection of poems and poems.
But Chen Zi's knowledge... Chen Jin and the others learned together at the beginning. Because the two were similar, the content taught by the Master was the same. Although Chen Zi was not a talented woman, he was not ignorant. Even if he married another family, it was considered good, but the Zheng family...
Chen Jin couldn't imagine how Chen Zi would talk to the eldest son of the Zheng family every day.
An Ping said, "I heard that the eldest son of the Zheng family likes the most Hongxiu Tianxiang..." He did not finish his words, "Mrs. The second sister of the wife was originally married as a princess, so it is inevitable... I heard that she went to the prince's house to cry and found the prince to make the decision."
Chen Jin asked, "Have you come forward?"
"That's not." An Ping said, "I stayed for two or three days and was sent back to Zheng's house by the prince."
Chen Jin felt that according to King Rui's character, Concubine Xu and Shen Zi cried together. I am afraid that King Rui would help Chen Zi stand up. Could it be that Princess Rui was blocked? After thinking about it, it made sense. He nodded and said, "What else?"
"I heard that an old lady scolded Prince Yonglehou after getting drunk." Anping knew that Chen Jin was even more worried about Chen Qi, so he asked specifically and said, "It seems that Prince Yonglehou looks like a good person, but he is the most mischievous person. Even Mrs. Yonglehou has a traitor inside."
Chen Jin frowned and said, "It shouldn't be." She remembered that before she got married, her eldest sister lived a good life and had a very good relationship with her eldest brother-in-law. Mrs. Yongle Hou and Princess Rui knew each other, and they were also good friends.
Anping said, "I just heard that Prince Yongle took a concubine not far from his wife's marriage, and he was his childhood sweetheart."
Chen Jin frowned, "Is the eldest sister not doing well? Did my brother-in-law treat her badly?"
Madam Zhao looked at Chen Jin's appearance and said, "Madam is too simple. It's not that Prince Yongle Hou is not good, it may be too good, so Madam's elder sister is not good."
Chen Jin looked at Madam Zhao, Madam Zhao said, "Anping, have you found out about the cousin's life experience?"
"I heard that it was the daughter of the concubine's sister of the Marquis of Yongle. I had a mess at home and had no other relatives, so I defected to the Marquis of Yongle." Anping added.
Mama Zhao said, "I think the prince is gentle to others, and this gentleness is not only to the prince's wife. Although Madam Yongle is a good friend to the prince's concubine, no matter how close she is, she is not as good as a relative, so she is inevitably biased. Not only that, in the eyes of outsiders, the concubine is lonely and helpless, and the prince's wife is the legitimate daughter of King Rui, with a noble family background and a prince's concubine, and the prince's concubine is also a princess. Compared with the two, it is inevitable that she feels that the concubine is a little pitiful."
Chen Jin pursed his lips tightly and said for a long time, "I understand."
Although Madam Zhao was sent by Chu Xiuming to serve Chen Jin, she had been with Shen Jin for a long time and became more sincere and said, "So, madam, sometimes you must not be ruthless. If that cousin just asked for help to the Yongle Marquis' Mansion, the princess could make up his mind and give the money directly, there would be no such thing."
Chen Jin asked, "Will Mrs. Marquis and the prince be angry?"
Mama Zhao asked back, "Which one is better, others are angry or make yourself angry?"
Chen Jin blinked, looked at Madam Zhao a few times, nodded and said, "I understand, by the way, do you have a cousin?"
Madam Zhao said with some relief, "The general also has a distant cousin. When he was unfamiliar, he came to surrender to the general, and later..."
Chen Jin asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes." Madam Zhao said.
Chen Jin nodded, "Then you don't need to mention her, is there anything else?"
Anping asked, "Are you not worried, Madam? That cousin is so beautiful."
"Because you all said it was the beginning." Chen Jin felt that Madam Zhao and An Ping were puzzled, "If there was something really in the beginning, it wouldn't be my turn to marry me. Who do you really want to marry? Can you wait until the marriage is pointed out? Besides, there is no such person in the mansion at all. I think something happened. And the first time I heard someone mention it, it might not be a good thing. Since that's the case, there is no need to worry."
Mama Zhao thought that maybe her wife was a wise man.
Chen Jin looked at Madam Zhao and An Ping who were shocked, and said proudly, "I am very smart."
