The Young Lady of the General’s House

Chapter Eighty Eight

Xue Qiao glanced at Shen Jin and did not speak. Shen Jin continued to ask, "Did he lie to you?"

"The son is not that kind of person." Xue Qiao was a little bit irritated, "I know you want to play with me, and if you know the situation of the son, I will not betray the son."

Shen Jin looked at Xue Qiao with some doubts, looked at Xue Qiao with a slightly inconceivable look, and asked, "Why do you think, do I still play tricks for you now?" It was not troublesome enough.

Xue Qiao was silent. He was a little afraid of the Buddhist temple. He thought for a while and said, "I don't know before. Anyway, when I came to the world, the world had no children. If it is really hidden, I don't know."

In fact, Xue Qiao was not stupid at all except for the matters of King Rui, on the contrary, she was very shrewd. She looked at Shen Jin and said, "Even if Shizi deliberately hides other sons and uses my child as a target, it doesn’t matter. , As long as it can be useful to the world’s son."

Mother Zhao sneered and said, "You are really generous."

Xue Qiao's attitude of sacrificing everything for the prince of England is somewhat incomprehensible, but so far, all she has sacrificed has been others.

Shen Jin stopped asking, and Zhao Duan sighed. Thanks to Shen Jin's fear of Xue Qiao in advance, otherwise they would not be able to deal with it if they really met. They were obviously cold and hot, even if they knew that they were killed by the King of England. I used it, and I was deeply willing to do so.

However, Shen Jin felt that the person Xue Qiao actually loved the most was herself. If she was so affectionate as she showed, then it would be impossible to confide this, but when she was locked in a Buddhist hall and found that she could not bear it. It's time to commit suicide.

Although there are no sharp weapons in that temple, if a person really wants to die, he can find a way. Although Shen Jin made people pay attention to not let Xue Qiao die, but the gold and silver jewelry on Xue Qiao's hair bun was on his wrist. The jade bracelets weren't put away by anyone, and there were belts for them.

But Xue Qiao didn't mean to hunt for death at a time. Even if she was about to be driven crazy because she could not see the people, she didn't even mean to seek death at all. She didn't even try once.

Guan Shi asked, "Which area did the King of England play in the past?"

Xue Qiao bit his whitish lips and said, "I don't know."

"Go to the Buddhist hall and think again." Shen Jin said calmly.

Xue Qiao's face was ugly, "I really don't know." After a while, he said, "The world is afraid of insecurity, so I always let me live in a other courtyard in Jiangshu."

"Then how often does she come to see you?" Manager Wang asked.

These questions made Xue Qiao feel particularly embarrassed, as if she was about to be laughed at by everyone, in the final analysis, Xue Qiao also knew that it was better to say that the King of England did this in order to protect her, but It's harder to hear. He is the outside room raised by the prince of England. He has no name at all. At the beginning, the Xue family had some reputation, and she was even the daughter of a good family.

"Would you like to go to the Buddhist hall to think about it?" Shen Jin asked, looking at Xue Qiao, holding a sip of rose tea.

Xue Qiao bit her lip, and Mother Zhao said, "It's better for the girl to raise her head and speak."

Now that she knew that Xue Qiao had given birth to a child, Mother Zhao still called her a girl, and she had to say that there was a sense of irony inside.

Xue Qiao is also a person who knows current affairs, especially now that everyone is already in the capital, the child is not hers, and the last scruples are gone, so he raised his head and said, "When I first came to the world’s son, the world’s son I stayed with me for a period of time. In the next three years, there will be three or four days a month about three or four days. In recent years, there have been fewer, but... in the 20th year of Yongqi, because I was pregnant, my eldest son stayed in Jiang Shu stayed with me for three months."

In fact, the last sentence is somewhat ostentatious, like trying to earn face on Shen Jin’s side, but Shen Jin and the others are not concerned about this, because Chu Xiuming’s evil make up before leaving has made Shen Jin right. Tianqi's map is very familiar, so I'm already thinking about where Jiangshu is and what's nearby.

"You have always lived in Jiangshu?" Shen Jin felt that the Prince of England was not a person who could see women and would like to go up and down the mountains and wading. Jiangshu had no shop in front of the village, unless there was something worthy of the King of England. What the son of the world is plotting, and going to see Xue Qiao is just going on.

Xue Qiao said, "No, after the child is born, the elder son will send our mother and child to Fengqu."

After General Manager Wang asked a few more questions, after everyone knew the general idea, they brought Xue Qiao down and put him under strict control.

When someone left, Chu Xiuyuan asked, "Sister-in-law, how true or false do you think her words are?"

"Nine truths and one fake." Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "According to time, Xue Qiao can't live in Jiangshu for that long."

Guan Shi also said, "Because Jiangshu had a flood in Yongqi for about 20 years, but because of the remoteness and the concealment of local officials, it did not attract attention, and the news did not spread."

In fact, they knew that this incident was also a coincidence. Xue Qiao may have lived in Jiangshu, but he did not live as long as she said. In this way, the place of Fengqu is a bit subtle. I think it should be in Fengqu. After living longer, Xue Qiao didn't expect that she just said a word for the sake of face, and she was discovered that there was a flaw.

The words that Xue Qiao said about where he lived were all explained by King Shizi before coming.

"Could it be that Prince Ying wants to lead us to Jiangshu?" Manager Wang frowned.

Guan Shi narrowed his eyes and said, "I think he wants us to focus on these two places."

It's a pity that Xue Qiao didn't know where the child was hidden by the Prince of England, otherwise they would not be as embarrassed as they are now.

Zhao Duan pondered for a while and said, "It's also possible that these two places are traps."

Grandma Zhao frowned and did not speak. Chu Xiuyuan did not speak. Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "Xue Qiao knows very little."

"Xue Qiao is an abandoned son." Chu Xiuyuan also affirmed the guess in his heart. "From the very beginning, the Prince of England had never trusted her. After all, Xue Qiao had betrayed the Chu family for whatever reason. Wang Shizi arranged it himself, I am afraid he would not trust it."

In this way, many things Xue Qiao knew should have been deliberately let her know by the Prince of England, so even if she was telling the truth, the available value was not high.

Chu Xiuyuan was inevitably disappointed. He also wanted to take the opportunity to see if he could get news of that child, so he could confirm it soon.

"What about Xue Qiao?" Zhao Duan asked.

Chu Xiuyuan looked at Shen Jin, and Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "Give it back to the prince of England. You can't live without a mother if you are so young."

Madam Zhao heard the words and said, "It's better to stay for a few more days, always show our hospitality."

"But in this case, the Prince of England will inevitably notice his wife." Manager Wang said with some worry.

Shen Jin said, "If this is true, it would be a good thing, I am afraid that the Prince of England will only think that these are arranged by the husband." Judging from the arrangement of the Prince of England, the only person in his eyes who can be evenly matched is probably only Chu Xiuming. Started calculations as early as possible, even if it didn't happen to Emperor Fu Cheng.

After a few people discussed it, they decided to wait for a month before throwing Xue Qiao's group out of the border town. Now everyone is separated, and everyone is treated differently.

But before they let them go, Chu Xiuming escorted Concubine Chen and the others back to the border town.

Coincidentally, when Chu Xiuming came back, it was the day before the winter solstice.

Because of the winter solstice, the entire border town has become a lot more lively. Every family has started to prepare dumplings and other things, and the General’s Mansion has been busy for tomorrow’s winter solstice. The past such as cabbage and noodles.

Chu Xiuming and Chen Fangfei can be said to be Shen Jin’s most important people. Originally, because Chu Xiuming was not there, it was inevitable that Shen Jin was a little sad. Standing at the gate of the General’s Mansion and seeing people coming from far away, he didn’t hold back his red eyes. Ran over.

Shen Jin is wearing a cotton dress with colorful embroidered gold silk today. Outside is a red cloak studded with snow-white rabbit fur. The moment he saw Shen Jin, Chu Xiuming got off his horse, stepped forward and hugged his home. The little lady of, reached out her hand to wipe the tears from her face, then put the hood on Shen Jin, and said softly, "Don't eat the wind."

"Husband." Shen Jin bit his lip and sniffed and said, "I have someone specially make dumplings of pork, mutton and cabbage for you."

Chu Xiuming responded, and didn't say anything. Such dumplings are Shen Jin's favorite, because Shen Jin thinks that the mutton and cabbage alone is a bit mutton, so he likes to let people add some pork to it and add some dried steamed bread crumbs. In addition, there are sauerkraut and beef mixed together, but Shen Jin only likes to eat steamed.

And Chu Xiuming didn't have a special preference for these, no matter which of them was trapped, he would taste the same.

"Mother-in-law is in the car." Chu Xiuming said, "Let's go back first."

"Okay." Shen Jin looked at the carriage, and she asked in a low voice, "What about the father and mother?"

Chu Xiuming took Shen Jin’s hand. Because there was no steps away from the general’s mansion, Chu Xiuming simply walked with Shen Jin, "Father and mother have returned to the capital, because there are still a few years old in the mother-in-law’s carriage. Little, so she didn't show up at this time." After all, the children can't eat cold wind, this is an explanation to Shen Jin so as not to think too much.

Shen Jin didn't ask anything, but turned to look inside the carriage. The carriage was so tightly covered that it was naturally unclear. There were also many carriages with luggage in the back. No wonder Chu Xiuming was walking along the way. It's a bit slow.

The carriage entered the General's Mansion directly, and Shen Jin said, "Did you not meet Shen Xi and the others?"

"No." Chu Xiuming said with a slight frown, "I think I went wrong, but what happened?"

Shen Jin nodded, "I'll tell you later, Brother Yuan is in the barracks, I have sent someone to send him a letter, I want to come back soon."

Chu Xiuming nodded and didn't ask anything. Shen Jin gently scratched Chu Xiuming's hand and said, "Dongdong is almost a year old, so I don't recognize you anymore."

If someone else said something like this, I’m afraid there is a sense of resentment in it, and Chu Xiuming knows that Shen Jin is only telling him about this, and there is no other meaning in it, "I still think about this year. In the winter solstice, I’m afraid I can only use dumplings with my brother Yuan... My mother is here, and I don’t know if I am accustomed to eating things here. Apart from the eldest sister’s daughter and younger brother, is it possible that Shen Hao is the only one to follow. Up?"

"En." Chu Xiuming nodded slightly to Guan Shi and they, then waved his hand to let them go back first, and he accompanied Shen Jin into the inner courtyard. Madam Zhao just knew Chu Xiuming and they were about to arrive. Let Anping wait for Shen Jin to change clothes. She went to the small kitchen to prepare hot water and soup. An Ning took care of Dongdong. At this time, after Chu Xiuming came in, the hot water was just ready.

Although Shen Jin still had a lot to say to Chu Xiuming, she also wanted to visit her mother. Before Shen Jin could speak, Chu Xiuming said, "You go and arrange things with your mother-in-law first, and wait for me to clean up. I'll look for you later."

"Okay." Shen Jin bit her lip and agreed, "After you have freshened, go and visit Dongdong. I'll be here in a while."

Chu Xiuming nodded, tidyed up the cloak for Shen Jin, and put the hood on Shen Jin. Then he glanced at An Ping, and An Ping put the prepared small hand stove in Shen Jin's hand, "Go." "

"En." Shen Jin answered, "Mother Zhao has stewed chicken soup, you remember to use some later."

The corners of Chu Xiuming's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled, "Okay."

Shen Jin took Anping to a courtyard not far away. After learning what the King of England had done, Shen Jin had two courtyards in the general’s house. One of them was bigger than the main courtyard. Slightly smaller, it was the yard where Shen Jin had just arrived in Border Town.

The courtyard was cleaned up several times later, and the contents in it were even more refined than the main courtyard. After all, because of Shen Jin’s preferences, the main courtyard was more comfortable and practical. For example, in this courtyard I didn’t plant any flowers, plants, or grasses. Instead, I planted a lot of fruit trees. Even the wisteria flowers were replaced with grapes, as well as the soft cushions that can be seen everywhere...

In addition to this yard, Shen Jin also specially cleaned up a yard for his mother, Concubine Chen. The yard is naturally not larger than the yard on the main courtyard and Ruiwang's side, but the layout inside is very careful. Shen Jin started preparing early, but Unexpectedly, only Concubine Chen and the three small ones were here this time.

When Shen Jin passed by, he saw that Concubine Chen's side had begun to clean up, and Shen Hao was standing beside Concubine Chen's side. When she saw Concubine Chen Jin, he couldn't help but put a sticker on Concubine Chen's side. See you. When he arrived at his daughter, he smiled, but did not ignore Shen Hao. He reached out his hand and touched his head, and said softly, "When I was on the carriage, didn't you still say you want to bubble hot water?"

Shen Hao pursed his lips. He has experienced so much in just a few years. Even if Shen Hao's aptitude is poor, he has grown up a lot. Hearing this, he looked at Shen Jin and then at Concubine Chen, then nodded. , Followed the maid walked inside, but when she was about to leave, she turned her head and looked at Concubine Chen's side. Shen Jin took it all in her eyes, and when Shen Hao left, she stepped forward and hugged her mother and said, " It's great, it's the same as dreaming."

Why did Chen Fangfei think so? Since she entered the Royal Palace, she has never expected one day to come out, and all this is because she has a good daughter, "How old is she, how can she be like a child." Even so. Said, but Concubine Chen's hand gently stroked Shen Jin's back and said, "Thanks to my son-in-law for this journey."

When Shen Jin entered the house, he had already taken off his cloak. At this time, he and his mother walked into the inner room together, "You can live in the yard? I thought my fourth brother would follow my mother."

Concubine Chen Fang just smiled and said, "Enough is enough, the prince has made a clear word for your fourth brother."

"Shen Qing?" Shen Jin said after a while, "I always feel a bit feminine."

"Nonsense." Concubine Chen said, tapping her daughter's head lightly. "Your eldest sister's daughter is Baozhu. Now Shuangqiao is taking care of her. There is not much to do with me."

Shen Jin thought that Shen Qi had said that she had asked her to find Shuang Qiao's in-laws in the border town. She had forgotten it. She didn't expect that Shuang Qiao would come this time, and she didn't know if she had brought anything.

"How is Dongdong?" Although Concubine Chen likes children, she is also divided into close relationships. After all, she is a daughter like Shen Jin. The two of them have depended on each other for so many years, even if Shen Qing has been raised in Chen since birth. Concubine Side's side is also incomparable to the love between her and Shen Jin. This is not only because Shen Jin is born, but Concubine Chen understands in her heart that Shen Jin is now Mrs. Yongning Hou, and Chu Xiuming favors him. , No one dared to insult the two mothers and daughters anymore, so even if Shen Qing was born, he couldn't be better than Shen Jin in Chen's heart.

Speaking of his son, Shen Jin smiled and said, "I'll take it to my mother tomorrow, and now I'm chubby, I almost can't hold it anymore."

"It's better for the child to be fat." Concubine Chen was especially comfortable thinking of her grandson. The whole figure seemed to be relieved of a lot of baggage, and she looked a little bit more cheerful. When I go to see him tomorrow, I have made some clothes and I don’t know if Dongdong fits well.

"Where's mine, mother?" After Shen Jin accompanied her mother into the house, she carefully checked to make sure there was nothing missing, and then gently leaned her head on the shoulder of Concubine Chen's side. People have a cook, if mother is not used to the taste here, let the small kitchen..."

Shen Jinxu talked about the affairs and arrangements of the border town. Concubine Chen looked at her daughter. Her daughter is now as tall as her. She saw that there was no trace of sadness between her brows and eyes, and she was full of joy, and Concubine Chen's face The smile has not disappeared, so it's good... Just happy for my daughter.

Shen Jin did not stay too long because of Chen's concubine and concubine. After confirming that Chen's concubine was well done, he left first, and when he returned to the courtyard, he walked directly to Dongdong’s room. When he reached the door, Sure enough, he saw Chu Xiuming inside. He was holding Dongdong in his arms. Although Dongdong did not cry, but his small face was tense, and there were tears in his eyes, but he didn't fall down. He looked a little serious and a little pitiful. He heard the footsteps. At the sound, the father and son looked over. The moment they saw Shen Jin, Dongdong couldn't help crying.

Although Shen Jin wanted to connect the two of them, but seeing this situation, he was particularly distressed. He hurried over and took Dongdong into his arms. Dongdong's small arms tightly hugged Shen Jin's neck and reached a familiar embrace. Here, this stopped crying, but still choked, "Woo..."

"Don't cry, be good." Shen Jin hurriedly coaxed him softly. Chu Xiuming watched from the side, his mood was particularly complicated, a little proud but also a little uncomfortable, Dongdong didn't know him before, and he didn't leave. At that time, Dongdong liked him the most or Shen Jin held it, how could he cry like this.

"Bad..." Dongdonghui didn't say many words, they all popped out one by one, and they were a little vague, but the word was extremely clear, and he was afraid that Shen Jin would not understand it, so he pointed his finger at Chu Xiuming.

Shen Jin lightly kissed Dongdong's cheek, and said, "Father... Dongdong is not a bad person, that is Dongdong's father." Her voice was particularly pleasant, unlike the one beside Chu Xiuming and his mother. Jiao Han, but with a kind of gentleness.

"Huh?" Dongdong stopped crying, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes, turned his head to look at Chu Xiuming, but his little arm still hugged Shen Jin's neck tightly.

Shen Jin hugged Dongdong and walked to Chu Xiuming. Dongdong has gained a lot of weight. Shen Jin needs two arms to hold him, "Dongdong, this is his father."

As soon as Dongdong approached Chu Xiuming, he turned his head and buried himself in Shen Jin's arms, but couldn't help but secretly look at Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming didn't move, but said softly, "Dongdong."

"Huh?" Dongdong secretly turned his head to look at Chu Xiuming again. Why did he feel that this voice was a bit familiar? "Hmm!" Anyway, my mother was... Dongdong looked at Chu Xiuming in confusion, then at Shen Jin, "Father?"

Chu Xiuming only felt warm in his heart, and a slight sourness in his nose. When he closed his eyes and opened it, he was already at peace. He was afraid of frightening his son. Chu Xiuming reached out and touched Dongdong with his fingers. Dongdong's little hand, as if frightened, quickly retracted his little paw, and then stared at Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming was not angry, but smiled. He carefully approached his son's hand with his fingers, and Dongdong looked towards him. Shen Jin, Shen Jin said, "Dongdong, that's your father." Shen Jin just repeated this sentence. Maybe Dongdong still doesn't understand the meaning, but even if Chu Xiuming left, Shen Jin was there. Tell Dongdong about this.

Dongdong moved his lips, and then slightly stretched out his hand to touch Chu Xiuming's hand, and then immediately retracted. Seeing that Chu Xiuming was not moving, he stretched out again, and then grabbed one of Chu Xiuming's fingers, "Father. father?"

"Well, Dongdong." Chu Xiuming's finger motionless let Dongdong grasp.

Dongdong looked down at the finger in his hand, then looked at Chu Xiuming again, blinked, let go of his hand, and met Shen Jin’s arms. "Egg..." He cried for a long time. I'm hungry and want to eat custard.

Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming didn't mind. He had left first. The child's performance was much better than he thought. Shen Jin said softly, "Will it be good for the mother to give Dongdong steamed custard? Great?"

"Ah..." Dongdong yelled, then resting his head on Shen Jin's shoulder, looking at Chu Xiuming, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin and said, "You go in with your baby first, and I'll let Grandma Zhao cook something that you can eat."

Shen Jin nodded and said, "Okay."

But who knew that Chu Xiuming had just left the house, Dongdong who had been lying quietly in Shen Jin's arms suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! Ahhhhhhhhh!"
