Chapter 47
It took half an hour to listen to Manager Zhao's words, and took less than a cup of tea to handle it. After the work was done, Chen Jin went to play with Xiaobudian. I don't know whether it was because of the weather or because the little friends Xuetu were not brought. Xiaobudian was not as lively as he was in the border town. However, it was true that Yongning Bo Mansion in the capital was not as comfortable as the general mansion in the border town.
Chen Jin sat on a small stool, holding a brush to bristle Xiaobudian's hair. It also turned over from time to time so that Chen Jin could take care of her whole body. Chen Jin touched Xiaobudian's hair and sighed, "You miss home too, are you?"
Xiao Budian rubbed Chen Jin's legs with his head, and he stuck out his tongue and whispered. Chen Jin pinched its ears, "We will go back in a while. I will take you to see my mother another day. My mother will make big hydrangeas so beautiful. I will make one for you at that time."
Madam Zhao sat aside, listening to Chen Jin and Xiao Budian talking, with a smile in her eyes.
"I don't like my fourth sister anymore." Chen Jin said while combing the little girl's hair, "She likes to grab things with me. Every time she always says in front of her father, she says that I am the sister and want to give in to her sister, but the mother always gives me something better later, and I don't let her see it."
Xiao Budian licked Chen Jin's fingers, turned over and exposed her belly. Chen Jin rubbed it a few times, "But I won't give it to her this time. Next time I will take you to the palace. If you see the fourth sister, you must scare her."
Mama Zhao narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Madam, I don't go out on weekdays. Tell me about the interesting things about the royal palace."
Chen Jin looked at Madam Zhao and smiled, "Okay."
"Madam and the eldest princess have a good relationship?" Madam Zhao did not immediately ask about Concubine Xu's daughters, but started with the person Chen Jin was closest to.
Chen Jin nodded and continued to combed Xiaobudian's hair, and then raised the balls of Xiaobudian's hair. An Ning sat aside and collected the balls of hair. Chen Jin last said that he wanted Xiaobudian's hair to make a small mattress, so every time they combed Xiaobudian's hair, they would collect the fallen pieces.
Anping was also sitting next to her, but she couldn't rest. She was giving Chen Jinxiu a sachet. The set of lilac moon dress made by Chen Jinxin was not equipped with suitable accessories.
"Well, my elder sister is very good." Chen Jin smiled and picked up some interesting things before getting married and said something. Madam Zhao knew Chen Qi's temperament in her heart.
Madam Zhao also smiled and said, "Yes, the princess is so good to her wife." If it weren't for it, how could she take care of Chen Jin's food? She can't use ice around her days, and can't eat spicy food on weekdays. These are all good things for women.
Chen Jin nodded, "But... I'm not good to my elder sister."
Madam Zhao also remembered it and frowned and said, "I still remember that the eldest princess has a baby?"
Chen Jin bit his lip and felt a little uncomfortable. It was her little nephew, who roughly said what happened today, "My cousin is so annoying."
Madam Zhao suddenly thought of Chu Xiuming's cousin. The wife knew about this. She didn't just point to Prince Yongle Hou and his cousin...
"Actually, the big sister is very awesome." Chen Jin combed Xiaobudian's tail and then patted the big dog's head. Xiaobudian stood up and shook his hair, looking even more fluffy.
Madam Zhao also thought of the things Chen Jin said. Logically speaking, the princess’s methods and ideas were not bad, but she didn’t expect that the boat capsized in the ditch and was plotted in the Yongle Marquis’ Mansion. In fact, it was just a matter of caring about it. Because she cared about her husband, she was tolerant everywhere. Because she liked her husband, she would like to please her parents-in-law.
Chen Jin hugged the little girl and said, "But it doesn't matter. The eldest sister is just stunned. Now she has been woken up by her mother. It's just a pity for her nephew..."
Mama Zhao narrowed her eyes and understood what Chen Jin said. When she thought of Princess Rui, she felt that her nephew Yonglehou would have fun in the future. She would not want to live a good life. She would not think about turning around in the future. "I heard that the second princess married the eldest son of the Zheng family. The eldest son of the Zheng family was very literary, which attracted many girls to be excited."
Chen Jin also talked about these things. He first looked around. Seeing that there were no outsiders, he took off his shoes and socks and showed his white and tender little feet. Xiaobudian was not annoyed. He changed his position and lay under her feet. Madam Zhao took a look and wanted to say something, but when she looked at Chen Jin's comfortable and expectant look, she didn't speak, but asked An Ning and the others to sit over and block Chen Jin. Even if a servant came in, it would be enough for her to scold her.
"Mum, it's the best." Chen Jin saw Xiaoxiao sticking out his tongue and said coquettishly.
Madam Zhao sighed and said, "If you like it, just lay a layer of fur in the house when it gets cold."
Chen Jin smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said with a little show of flaunting and shyness, "My husband has said it too."
Madam Zhao saw Chen Jin's appearance in her eyes and showed a little smile. The general and his wife became closer and closer.
Chen Jin moved his toes, and the feeling of being surrounded by fluffy was particularly happy, just a little hot...
"By the way, I heard that my second brother-in-law wrote a collection of poems about flowers and songs, which is widely circulated." Chen Jin actually doesn't like reading poetry collections. She prefers travel notes, so she quickly forgot her name. "I heard that the prince asked someone to buy it, but was found out in the palace and scolded her second brother-in-law."
"Madam is "The Song of Flowers"." Anping looked up and smiled, "I remember it all."
Chen Jin nodded, "That's it."
"Why do I listen to the confusion?" Madam Zhao looked at Chen Jin with a puzzled look on her face.
Chen Jin blinked and said, "Where?"
"Why would I tell the nanny?" Anping asked with a smile.
Chen Jin nodded, "Okay."
Anping said the general story. From the time the third princess started screaming with her two sisters before she entered the door, she was smashed into a cup by King Rui. She blushed her face and was ashamed. She also talked about the "Ode to Flowers" and her quiet style when she left. After listening to it expressionlessly, Madam Zhao nodded and said, "It's really...hum."
Chen Jin also nodded, "The fourth sister hates it very much."
Madam Zhao sneered, "Mrs. I did a great job today."
Chen Jin also felt that it was good, so he contacted his elder sister, helped her, pleased Princess Rui, and praised her second brother-in-law. From now on, those who were innocent and innocent brother-in-law would be embarrassed to say that their husbands were reckless men. Chen Jin and Madam Zhao were particularly happy to talk to each other.
"I didn't expect that the lady actually discovered the fourth girl's delusion." Madam Zhao praised with a smile, feeling a lot of relief, but she felt that Chen Jin might not understand. She put eye drops on Chen Zi, afraid that Zheng Jiaqu and Shen Zi would have a fight when they go back, but what does it have to do with them?
Chen Jin frowned his little nose, "It's very annoying!" He emphasized his feelings again, "Of course I can find that I'm smart."
I heard that small animals have a kind of intuition, and rabbits have even more keen intuition, especially their possessiveness in the territory. Madam Zhao glanced at Chen Jin and found that not only the leopards surrounded the territory and raised rabbits, but also the rabbits surrounded the territory and raised them... They were raised by leopards.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Chen Jin did not say that Chu Xiuming was using a shackle on King Rui and the others, but said, “My husband said that you don’t have to see the fourth sister in the future. Madam, can I still take Xiaobian to scare her?”
"Why should Madam do you need to do this?" Madam Zhao smiled kindly. She should indeed be involved in this kind of thing. "Leave it to Lao Nu, and Lao Nu will help her to let her breath out."
Chen Jin scratched his face, took Mama Zhao's hand and said coquettishly, "Mama is the best."
Madam Zhao patted Chen Jin's hand. The people overestimated their abilities. A cold light flashed in their eyes. They looked at Chen Jin and said gently, "It's good that Madam is happy."
Chen Jin nodded, feeling that the matter had been handed over again, so he stepped on the little one and said, "Okay, you're useless now, the nanny will vent my anger for me."
Xiao Budian looked up at Chen Jin with his black and moist eyes, and stuck out his tongue and licked Chen Jin's fingers, making Chen Jin laugh.
At night, Chen Jin lay in Chu Xiuming's arms, her eyes were red, and she seemed to have just cried and she had no strength. Because of Chu Xiuming's promise, she now had the courage to bite a few bites on Chu Xiuming's face. "It hurts..." her voice was a little hoarse and extremely delicate.
Chu Xiuming also knew that he had just been a little too much, but who made Chen Jin so enthusiastic today? He has always had great self-control. However, facing his little wife, he was in a mess. He reached out to her waist and pressed it gently and said, "I'm afraid I won't see your second sister's family tomorrow."
"Huh?" Chen Jin was a little confused, and was pressed comfortably and hummed with his eyes closed.
Chu Xiuming's voice was filled with a smile, and a sense of laziness after satisfying it, and he was particularly catching people. "They two started fighting on the way back."
"Ah?" Chen Jin raised his spirits, "Aren't they taking a car?"
"Yes." Chu Xiuming also found it incredible, but there were quite a few people who knew it. "Your second brother-in-law rolled out of the carriage with blood on his face. Thanks to the speed of the carriage, he was not injured."
Get out...get out...
"Second sister is so amazing." Chen Jin sighed.
"Then your second sister chased you out too." Chu Xiuming continued, "There is no injury on his face, but he is also very embarrassed. He snatched the coachman's whip and was about to jump off the car to suck your second brother-in-law."
Chase out...draw...
Chen Jin didn't know what to say, "It's not good to fight in the car, I'm afraid Concubine Xu will cry again."
Chu Xiuming had a smile in his eyes. He heard Chen Jin's meaning. It was not good for a couple to fight outside, so it would be better to fight with the door closed after returning home. Of course, Concubine Xu would cry. She didn't have any other ability and went to find King Rui without crying. What else could she do?
"Mother will be angry." Chen Jin thought of Princess Rui getting angry, and her body trembled. Thanks to her marriage, "The father will be in trouble."
When Princess Rui gets angry, she will not only deal with Concubine Xu, but also deal with King Rui, because she thinks that King Rui is the root of disaster, but unfortunately, King Rui has never discovered it.
Chu Xiuming responded, reached out and stroked Shen Jin's smooth and soft back, "Go to sleep."
"Yeah." Chen Jin yawned a little. It was all other people's business and it was over. It was not worth delaying his sleep because of this. Chen Jin turned over and got off Chu Xiuming, then rolled into his arms, hugged her husband's waist and began to sleep with her eyes closed.
But the plan could not keep up with the changes. I never thought that Chu Xiuming was called away by the people in the palace early the next morning. I don’t know why Emperor Cheng thought of him, so Chen Jin could only go to Yongle Marquis’ Mansion alone. However, Madam Zhao followed him this time. After all, if Chu Xiuming was not here, she would watch her to avoid being bullied.
When Chen Jin arrived, Chen Qi came out to pick him up. When Chen Qi saw that Chu Xiuming had not come, he asked, and knew that Emperor Cheng summoned him into the palace, he didn't ask anything. He smiled and walked towards the main courtyard with Chen Jin's arm. He wanted to invite Mrs. Yongle, but Yongle had already gone to court and was not in the mansion.
Mrs. Yongle Hou and Princess Rui are average at the same age, but they look a little older than Princess Rui. She has no legitimate daughter and has not allowed the concubines in the mansion to come out.
"Madam." Chen Jin saluted to Mrs. Yongle.
Chu Xiuming's title was lower than that of Yongle Hou, and the wife of Yongle Hou was also considered an elder, so she could bear the rituals of Chen Jin at that time.
Mrs. Yongle Hou got up and helped Chen Jin with his own hands, then held her hand and looked up and down, turning her head and smiling at Chen Qi, "It looks like a good child, it hurts people."
Chen Qi also smiled and said, "My mother-in-law doesn't like me when she sees her sister."
"Haha." Mrs. Yonglehou smiled and let go of Chen Jin's hand, "No, I wish I could snatch the girl Jin into the mansion and be my daughter for me."
Chen Jin's face turned red and she lowered her head shyly.
Mrs. Yonglehou smiled and said, "Sit down, let the kitchen bring pastries and give you sweet mouths."
Chen Qi sat beside Chen Jin and said, "The snacks in the kitchen here in my mother-in-law are very delicious. You should eat more later."
"Okay." Chen Jin said with bright eyes, "Thank you, Madam."
"What is the name of Mrs., I'll call you aunt." Mrs. Yongle smiled.
Chen Jin nodded, "Auntie."
"Oh." Mrs. Yongle Hou responded, "I have also heard about the siege of the barbarians. Your sister is injured, right?"
"No." Chen Jin smiled sweetly, and her eyes were particularly likable.
Mrs. Yonglehou said, "That's good."
Just now, Mrs. Yongle Hou asked her maid to go to the kitchen to serve snacks. Who knew that the one who came in was a gentle woman. She was wearing a pink gauze skirt with only a bird's shaking on her head. She was dotted with a pink pearl between her hair. She swayed gently while walking, giving people a weak and unconventional smell. Moreover, her belly had a round curve. You could tell she was pregnant at first glance, her face was a little pale, which was even more pleasing.
Chen Jin moved his eyes from her hair to her stomach and looked at Mrs. Yongle Hou. Mrs. Yongle Hou had a look of embarrassment on her face and said, "Yunniang, why are you out?"
Madam Zhao, who stood behind Shen Jin, already knew the woman's identity, and knew that this woman came here today to show off her favor, and she gave Chen Qi's face to face in front of Shen Qi's family. If it were a person like Princess Rui, she would not dare to do so. Chen Jin was just Chen Qi's illegitimate sister. In her opinion, she would not be close to Shen Qi. She would not be happy to see such a situation and would never stand up for Chen Qi.
Such people are just too pampered. Chen Qi used to be rude, so she was just a rampant because she was a relative of the wife of the Marquis of Yongle and the cousin of the Prince of Yongle. Madam Zhao looked at Chen Qi and saw that Chen Qi's face had not changed. She took a sip of tea. Madam Zhao didn't know whether it was better to be regretful or happy for Chen Qi. She was afraid that Chen Qi had seen through it. That is what the wife said, Chen Qi was already awake, but the price was a bit high.
Yunniang's voice was soft and soft as Jiangnan. She held the pastry in both hands and said with a smile, "Auntie, I think my sister's relatives are here, so I made pastry by myself." Then she looked at Chen Jin, "This is Mrs. Yongning, I have nothing to show off, so I can only make pastries in the south, and I don't know if it's up to you."
"Then why did you bring it up?" Chen Jin looked at the woman with some confusion and asked.
Yunniang was stunned for a moment, and the corners of Chen Qi's mouth rose slightly.
Mrs. Yongle Hou didn’t know what to say. Yunniang said a polite word, and she usually said she tasted it or something, but did Chen Jin say it wrong? No, you brought the snacks to me if you didn’t know my taste. Why?
Yunniang bit her lip, her eyes turned red, and she said as if she was holding back her sadness, "It was Yunniang who was rude."
Mrs. Yongle sighed in her heart and looked at Chen Qi. Seeing that Chen Qi had no intention of speaking, he was his own relative, he said, "Child Yunniang... bring the pastry to me."
Yunniang responded and brought the snacks to Mrs. Yongle Hou's hand. The maid also brought the snacks, lowered her head and placed them on Shen Qi and Shen Jin. Chen Jin smiled at the sight, "Thank you aunt, it must be my sister who told her aunt, I like these."
Chen Qi said, "Try it quickly."
Chen Jin responded with a smile, took a piece of it and covered her mouth with a veil and started eating. The taste was exactly what she liked before her marriage, but later Madam Zhao raised her so cute.
Yunniang reached out and touched her belly, lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Madam Yongning and her sister are so sisterly."
Chen Jin took the last sip, took the tea and sipped it aside, and then put the tea cup aside. She felt that the woman was a little strange, "We are sisters, so naturally, sisters are deep. Who are you? Why do you sip my sister with one sister at a time? I don't remember that my sister has other sisters."
Before Yunniang could speak, Chen Jin continued, "Where is your husband? Why are you doing such a maid with a big belly? Aunt, didn't she call you aunt?" Although she didn't say it clearly, Chen Jin's face said, since she was a relative, why did you waste her good cousin and become pregnant by you? "This... isn't good..." This was tactful, but it would be better not to say it.
The face of Mrs. Yongle Hou changed. She didn't want to be so famous as to abuse her niece. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Yunniang say with tears in her eyes, "My wife misunderstood. It's not because my aunt asked me to do it, but my aunt is so kind to me...I..." She didn't say that the child in her belly was Prince Yongle Hou.
Chen Jin felt that the people in the capital were a little strange, as if the queen mother was not enjoying her happiness and she just ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name. She was not good at cousin and insisted on doing maid's job. She looked at Yunniang with surprise, with such a strange temperament... Chen Jin turned her head and looked at Madam Zhao, then looked at Yunniang again, and suddenly said, "Oh, I understand."
What do you understand?
Not only Mrs. Yongle Hou and Yunniang, but also Chen Qi and Madam Zhao were very curious.
Chen Qi's eyes flashed and he asked with a smile, "Sister, don't talk a lot, sister, I don't understand yet."
Chen Jin looked down at the plate, chose another pastry made into plum blossoms, and asked, "Is this plum?"
"Yes." Chen Qi held back his urging, "There are still plum blossoms, but they are just dried plum blossoms."
Chen Jin nodded and started to eat. Madam Zhao was already used to Chen Jin, so she was not in a hurry. Mrs. Yonglehou saw that there was too much world, so she could bear it. Yunniang almost grabbed Chen Jin and shook it hard.
After Chen Jin finished eating, he took another sip of tea before saying, "Huh..." Seeing everyone staring at her, Chen Jin blinked and turned to look at Madam Zhao.
Mama Zhao said with a tough smile, "Madam, they are waiting for her to explain why she understands the cousin snatched the maid's work."
"Oh." Chen Jin nodded and said, "It's very simple. Some people like poetry, songs, some people like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, some people like dancing, swords and tea, some people like... I can't think of it. My personal preference, Mrs. Yongle Hou is just a cousin's aunt, not a biological mother, how can I interfere? Although the cousin's preference is a bit... well, it's okay in my own home." The last sentence she said to Yunniang, with a bit of comfort. After all, she is a relative of the eldest sister and mother-in-law's house. It would be bad if she gets angry.
Yunniang's face changed, and Mrs. Yongle Hou was also full of embarrassment and embarrassment. Although Chen Jin didn't say it clearly, she understood the meaning very clearly. Yunniang just likes to be a maid and is born to serve people's lives. They don't believe that Chen Jin doesn't know Yunniang's identity, and they all thought that this was here to vent her anger for Chen Qi, but no one expected that Chen Qi would have such a good relationship with a concubine, so not only Yunniang and Mrs. Yongle Hou didn't care, otherwise they would have scolded her as soon as Yunniang came in.
Chen Jin didn't know what they thought at all. Even if she knew, she didn't care. It was not her mother-in-law's house. Chen Jin originally wanted to take another snack to taste it, but suddenly thought of the meaning of Princess Rui asking her to come. She looked around the pastry and then her eyes fell on Yunniang's belly. She just looked at Mama Zhao's eyes and guessed Yunniang's identity. She decided to vent her anger for the eldest sister, make things a little difficult for her, and then make things difficult for Prince Yongle Hou for a while. Well, she hasn't been sad yet. She actually feels a little excited! Could it be that she is a bad guy by nature! She is also very compatible with her husband.
"Who is your husband? Why did you let you come out when you are pregnant?" Although Chen Jin had thought about making things difficult for Yunniang, he really had no experience.
Chen Qi wiped the corner of his mouth with a veil before laughing, "This is my husband's cousin and his concubine."
Chen Jin glanced at Yunniang a few times, "Oh."
Yunniang's face turned red and she looked extremely shy and said to Chen Jinfufu, "Sister, just call me Yunniang."
"..." Chen Jin looked at Yunniang with a dull look on her face. When did she have an extra sister?
Madam Zhao's face changed and she angrily scolded, "Bold." Sure enough, she was right to follow her, "Madam Yongle, are you insulting our Yongning Bo Mansion?"
Chen Qi's face was also ugly, and he looked at Mrs. Yonglehou, "Mother-in-law, I saw that my cousin was confused, so I'd better send it to rest."
"Although the prince's wife is our wife's sister." Madam Zhao looked at Chen Qi with sharp eyes, "Now this involves Yongning Bo Mansion, you must not forget this way."
Chen Qi stopped talking decisively and looked at Mrs. Yongle a little apologetically. He was extremely satisfied. He had long been upset by this bitch calling his sister.
Chen Jin was a little worried that Chen Qi was angry, so he reached out to touch Chen Qi's hand. Chen Qi gently pinched her finger. These were some small hints they had made before they got married. Sure enough, Chen Jin was relieved, "Madam, it's the eldest sister's husband's family, forget it, I'll tell my husband when I go back."
Is this even more terrifying? Thinking of the rumors about Yongning Bo, even if you know that the rumors may not be true, it is not groundless! Mrs. Yongle's Madam was pale, and she now wished she could go back to the moment... It wasn't right. When she knew Chen Jin was coming yesterday, she would definitely be able to lock Yunniang in the yard and not let it go.
Chapter completed!
