Chapter 42: See the Old Man Again
The county government here also has a military position, mainly to protect the frontier, and there will be a patriarch to preside over justice in the affairs of the clan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Therefore, Sang Tian directly led Shen Jinyu to the county office, presumably Shen Huaijin should be able to be in this army at this time.
Compared with the red tape in Beijing, the rules here are simply few to the extent of rudiment, and it may also be located in a real frontier place, and there are few people in Beijing, and they meet the supreme governor of this place without resistance.
The person who came was not General Huang that Sang Tian had heard of before, but an acquaintance of Shen Jinyu.
General Xu Zhongxu.
Sang Tian was a little surprised, and then stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Shiheng hasn't seen you for a long time." ā
Compared with when Shen Jinyu first met in the Lingnan Qitianling camp a few years ago, Xu Zhong was not as sharp as he was back then, and there was much less slaughter and coldness.
Shen Jinyu stepped forward and bowed and said with a smile: "General Xu, long time no see." ā
After Xu Zhong hugged his fists and greeted Sang Tian, he saw that Shen Jinyu was actually a little stunned, and he lowered his head before he had a stiff smile and asked, "Why is Miss Shen here?" ā
Shen Jinyu glanced at Sang Tian, Sang Tian nodded slightly, and then she smiled: "I heard that Huai Jin is here, I want to come and see him." ā
"Shen Huaijin?" Xu Zhong sat down to the place where he usually sit, beckoned the two of them to sit down with his hand, whispered to the non-commissioned officer beside him for a while, and thought carefully before replying: "Xiuyuan once greeted me, let me pay more attention to him." It seems that he followed General Huang's camp out of Beijing to come here this time, but General Huang has already been transferred to Yizhou, and he has been away from this place for more than ten days. ā
Ten days? She left before she arrived at Lingnan, and Kuwata didn't seem to be aware of his order.
Xu Zhong suddenly said to Shen Jinyu: "I have someone you know here, do you want to go and say hello?" ā
Although it was a questioning tone, the action was irrefutable to find a maid and take Shen Jinyu into the inner hall, Shen Jinyu followed quite strangely, the military camp in Anzhou, if it was really different, there was still a maid to follow.
The maid took Shen Jinyu into the house, the courtyard was smaller than Lingnan Mansion, and after a few steps, she took her to a place that looked like a woman's boudoir, and the maid announced, and the hostess in the room put down the embroidery in her hand and came out to greet Shen Jinyu, Shen Jinyu then remembered that Xu Zhong was married to Gu Mingzhu back then.
I haven't seen her for a long time, Mingzhu is a little plumper and fairer than when she was in Cheng Mansion, and her expression is broadened, even if she was laughing back then, she always felt a little reluctant, and she looked like she was haunting and couldn't be separated between her eyebrows.
Mingzhu greeted her with some joy, she grabbed Shen Jinyu's hand, and said with a slight tear in her eyes: "How could it be you, why are you here?" ā
Mingzhu is still wearing clothes that were fashionable in the capital, and there is nothing gorgeous about it, and there is only a tiger striped hosta on her head, such a tough ornament, it looks like Xu Zhong's handwriting.
Shen Jinyu grabbed Mingzhu with his backhand and said with a smile: "Looking at you like this now, it's really enviable." ā
Mingzhu and Shen Jinyu's hands are not as slender and smooth as they were back then, both of them have hands one step ahead of their faces, and with the traces of time, they naturally understand the hardships involved, and they also have a tacit understanding and avoid talking about it.
Shen Jinyu asked, "You also came along, are you tired of such a long journey." ā
Mingzhu lowered her head and smiled a little shyly: "Although the journey is hard, you can make your own decisions." ā
The meaning behind these words cannot be explained clearly in a few words. The ladies in the back house can understand such a simple story.
Shen Jinyu saw the embroidery that Mingzhu put down just now, picked it up and looked at it for a long time before suddenly said, "You, but you are going to be a mother?" Congratulations, congratulations. ā
The small dress made of muslin, the stitches are finely sewn, and the fabric has been washed many times, so it is very soft, these are all love.
Mingzhu didn't admit it or deny it, lowered her head with a shy smile on her face, and gently stroked her lower abdomen, which was not obvious now, and the whole person was shrouded in tenderness.
At night, when Shen Jinyu tossed and turned on the hard bed and couldn't sleep, she remembered Mingzhu's smile, this time she came to the border of Lingnan with the army, Gu Mingzhu brought two personal maids, and she didn't even have a cook.
It's a pity that the two maids who came with me have grown up in the house since they were children, and they can't really do kitchen work.
Fortunately, Gu Mingzhu himself doesn't mind, he is busy in the kitchen every day, and he is happy.
After Cheng Mansion said goodbye, the two of them accepted the real test of cruel life, and the little ugliness when they were young became insignificant, although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, it was better than being in Cheng Mansion, and they really had a bit of intimacy.
Stunned until dawn, Shen Jinyu slept with back pain, so she got up early and wanted to make some breakfast for Gu Mingzhu.
Although Mingzhu has lived a hard life in Cheng Mansion, it can be regarded as a host, but the shelves of large families are there, and she has never washed her hands and made soup like now, not to mention that she is pregnant now, Shen Jinyu is also embarrassed to be a guest, waiting for dinner.
After asking the maid, Sang Tian and Xu Zhong went out of the city last night and talked about going to bed very late, and Mingzhu's appetite was not particularly good, so they cooked some porridge in the morning and made some side dishes.
The kitchen is rich in things, but it's all very rough.
Shen Jinyu was busy in the kitchen for nearly half an hour, Gu Mingzhu yawned and came with the maid, in the end, she had been pampered for a long time, and she was very happy to see Shen Jinyu's cooking, and said coquettishly: "Oh, you told me earlier that you were going to cook, and I will come back after sleeping a little longer, and finally my mother's family came to see me." ā
After all, Gu Mingzhu didn't leave, she followed Shen Jinyu around, she hadn't learned these since she was a child, and she didn't do it for a long time, she did it, and she and Xu Zhong were the only ones who ate, all of them came with their temperaments, and many times, things were just about to be cooked and eaten, but fortunately, Xu Zhong didn't pick them, and Xu Zhong also ate them with relish.
Although she had eaten Shen Jinyu's food before, it was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes, and how she made these things that were originally in Anzhou Mansion a much stronger taste than her craftsmanship step by step.
There was admiration in his eyes and mouth.
Gu Mingzhu finished breakfast, and wanted to take Shen Jinyu to go shopping and see the style of Biansai, but Sang Tian called Shen Jinyu away.
Shen Jinyu thought that Sang Tian was going to go to the capital with her today, but who knew that Sang Tian said to her with a heavy face: "We may have to stay here for a few days." ā
