Chapter 255: Giving birth to a few more grandchildren
Zhong Jinxiu watched the Yin clan go forward in a hurry, and came back again, and it was really smiling.
At lunchtime, Yin looked at Zhong Jinxiu's gaze with an apologetic expression.
"Jinxiu, it's hard for you these days, but you have been married to your cousin for half a year, and there is no movement, this... Now you're fine, it's okay, it's okay..."
Zhong Jinxiu glanced at Shen Mingze and wanted to ask him what answer he had gotten to the Yin family, Shen Mingze winked at her, then looked at the Yin family and asked, "Mother, you can just listen to what the monks of the temple said, but they just want to earn your sesame oil money." β
"What if it's to earn my sesame oil money? As long as the two of you can have a few more grandchildren with me, I am willing to send as much money as I want. β
Zhong Jinxiu lowered her head to eat, as if she didn't want to deal with it.
Seeing that the Yin clan was so direct, the second master shook his head slightly.
"I'm full, go to the study to read a book." Secretly gave Yin a look, "Almost." β
The second master is quite generous to Zhong Jinxiu, after all, she is the daughter of his eldest sister, and no one disrespects the eldest sister.
Imagine that my father didn't love his concubine enough, but because of the eldest sister's words: "He is also my brother." That's when his father began to nurture him with all his heart.
So he didn't mind if Jinxiu could have children, and he didn't mind his concubine.
It's just that his wife is a little persistent.
The second master left, and the Yin family said: "I don't embarrass you, but since your concubine has come in, you must not be driven out." "If you really can't get pregnant, the concubine is also useful.
Zhong Jinxiu and Shen Mingze went out of the Yin family, Shen Mingze took Zhong Jinxiu outside to relax, the summer is getting hotter and hotter, and there are many more sons and wives who go out.
Zhong Jinxiu and they sat in a carriage through the most lively market, and then went outside the city, inside the village.
In Beizhuang, in addition to them, there are many beauties and sons.
The sons were comparing strategies, while the women were cheering on their men on one side.
Zhong Jinxiu was brought in by Shen Mingze, who was the Imperial City Division, and looking at the momentum, it was even more extravagant, and he didn't know Zhong Jinxiu's identity and came over to talk.
"I haven't seen this sister, I don't know where she is?"
Zhong Jinxiu raised her eyebrows and looked at this girl, with her colorful clothes on her body and her face peachy, she had never seen it.
Zhong Jinxiu said lightly: "Shen Mansion." β
"Shen Mansion? Are you the maid of the Shen Mansion? It doesn't look like it. She paused for a moment and said to herself, "I heard that Lord Shen, the head of the Imperial City Division, is ruthless and ruthless, and no one dares to approach one or two, and today is the first time I have seen him lead a woman out." β
Zhong Jinxiu smiled impatiently, if she said that she was Mrs. Shen, I am afraid that she would not hear anyone approaching her.
That's it, let's be a maid.
"I don't know who the girl is?"
The Taorun woman said, "Oh, by the way, my name is Fifth Sister." β
Charming?
"I'm at home."
It turned out to be the fifth sister.
The fifth sister seemed to be gossiping even more, and asked in a low voice: "It is rumored in the outside world that this Lord Shen is killing people outside and is ruthless, because she is careless at home, and the cousin she married is very strong, she can't give birth and doesn't let her take a concubine, you are her maid, is this true or false?"
Ruthless and murderous?
"Why do you think he's ruthless and murderous?"
"Don't you know, there was a sergeant outside that day who said bad things about him, and he cut him down with a single sword, and he also preached to the outside that if anyone was talking nonsense, he would kill whom?"
And this thing?
It seems that he really minded that she married him.
"What's the rumor out there about him?"
"I heard that he doesn't like her wife and likes the Oiran of Yihong Courtyard, by the way, you can't be that Oiran, right? No wonder, Lord Shen never brought a woman back. β
Zhong Jinxiu smiled awkwardly and said, "They should be hungry, let's go and help prepare some meals." β
Inside the village, the things are very well prepared, and there are not many people who come today, listening to them discuss the phenomenon of disorderly factions in Huainan and other places, the scene is very intense.
Zhong Jinxiu listened, but felt bored.
It is nothing more than condemning officials for not being conscientious and abusing their powers, but there is no substantive response to it.
"Let's go, there are a lot of fruits planted in Don't Zhuangzi, let's go pick some."
There is a kind of atmosphere in Kyoto, this man comes out with a woman, showing face, but she doesn't feel anything.
"Hey, I'm not good at cooking, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the kitchen...."
Zhong Jinxiu looked at her and looked down at her clothes, the new one, if she entered the kitchen and other places, she was afraid that she would be dirty.
Zhong Jinxiu asked, "Who brought you here?" β
"You Shiqing, my cousin."
Oh, no wonder.
Those ladies just now mistakenly thought she was a little peach, so they didn't come to contact her, or they were afraid that they would provoke Shen Mingze by saying something.
Zhong Jinxiu hasn't been in the kitchen for a long time, but she can still make simple things.
She looked at the women who were visiting here and asked:
"If you want to take a hand, take a hand, if you don't want a handle, go to the garden to pick melons and watermelons."
"Okay."
The fifth sister went to pick the melon, and came back after a while.
"They're all gone, I'd better stay and give you a hand."
Zhong Jinxiu didn't know why she suddenly changed her attention, but she didn't control the question.
After frying a few home-cooked dishes, after a while, he said, "You go to the table." β
"You're amazing."
The noisy people in front of them occasionally smelled the fragrance wafting away in the yard, and they felt a little hungry.
Suddenly, the heart of the debate dropped.
Shen Mingze said: "Let's see, is it a meal today?" β
Ah Xiang came over and said, "Yes, it's all done." β
Shen Mingze secretly boasted in his heart: The old man in Zhuangzi today is very good.
Ah Xiang said: "It was prepared by Mrs. herself." β
What the?
You Shiqing heard his fifth sister talk about it just now, and said with a smile: "Today, my sister-in-law is in charge of the meal, then we are welcome." I bother..."
Shen Mingze was unhappy in his heart, he hadn't tasted his cousin's cooking yet.
Everyone went to the main hall, and the meal had been put on the table, and the two tables were just enough to entertain everyone.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law is really virtuous."
Shen Mingze asked, "What about Madame?" β
"Madame went to pick watermelons, saying that she was quenching the thirst of the bachelors."
There is no one who does not boast of the virtue of this 'sister-in-law'.
orchard
"I didn't expect my sister to be able to cook, we tasted it just now, and it tasted delicious."
Zhong Jinxiu smiled.
Cooking is something that needs to be eaten by someone to develop an interest.
Back then, the little prince was the child of Jin Ling, who was raised under her knees, she was very good to him, no matter how big or small, she really used her own son to support her.
She did whatever he wanted, and those days were the happiest days for him.
It's a pity...
She stood next to the melon seedlings, looking at them one by one, but she didn't know where to start.
Raising his eyebrows, he saw that the fifth sister knocked on a watermelon a few times, and then cut the vines with scissors, Zhong Jinxiu asked, "Do you know if this melon is ripe?" β
"You know, if you listen to this Peng Peng's voice, you should break down..."
Zhong Jinxiu seemed to understand, looked for a melon that looked okay, knocked on it, and asked, "What about this?" β
"This voice, it should be eight mature."
Zhong Jinxiu thought it was very interesting, in her previous life, she didn't have this opportunity to contact these.
was having a good time, and the fifth sister next to her suddenly got up, looking at what kind of flood beast she looked like she was in a trance.
Zhong Jinxiu turned around and saw Shen Mingze. smiled and said, "Cousin, you scared people." β
Cousin?
This is more frightening than Shen Mingze's murderous hemp.
Of course, she also knew that Shen Mingze was married to her cousin.
What did you just say in front of people?
Tough?
Shen Mingze likes Hualou women?
She also cooks for the bachelors?
This... is so gentle and amiable, and the cute beauty who learned to recognize the cooked watermelon with her turned out to be a genuine lady who kills people like Ma Shen.
Shen Mingze could also see the woman's astonishment, and asked incomprehensibly, "Are you bullying others?" β
Zhong Jinxiu shook his head and said, "No." β
"Then why did he do this? Like you're possessed by a demon? β
After hearing this, the fifth sister lowered her head slightly and said, "I didn't say anything." With that, he stuffed the melon in his hand into Zhong Jinxiu's hand and ran away.
Shen Mingze didn't pay attention to her, looked at the watermelon in his cousin's hand, took it in his hand, and said, "I'm thirsty." β
Shen Mingze handed it to Ah Xiang behind him and asked him to cut the melon.
"The old man in this village is from my grandfather's family, and he thinks that I brought someone to spoil his yard, and every time he comes, he doesn't care about food, but fortunately, he has a cousin who helps me support the faΓ§ade."
Zhong Jinxiu smiled.
Where is the denial of food, it is clear that these people's remarks have failed to win your joy.
"This bachelor, except for a You Shiqing, is not as good as the imperial examination three years ago."
Zhong Jinxiu bowed his head, listening to everyone's debate just now, and he didn't have a hand.
"Cousin, you must already have a plan in mind, so why bother."
The affairs of the court, most of the people in the court, are due to interests, if it is not for interests, who wants to take risks?
Zhong Jinxiu suddenly thought of it, and asked, "Is my third brother Zhong Liang okay in Huainan?" β
Shen Mingze said: "Don't worry, someone is watching, nothing will happen." β
Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said: "I didn't mean that, if you find it difficult, you can make an example of the chicken, and it is not a shame for you to help him all these years." β
Shen Mingze nodded, as if he understood something.
"That's a good thing."
After staying for a few days, Zhong Liang was demoted for committing a crime.
When the old lady heard about this, she was so angry that she found her third son to discuss, but Zhong Wen couldn't do it, and the royal family is now worried about this matter.
"Don't you know, Zhong Liang is in Huainan, sitting at home all day long and playing with his daughter-in-law, not caring about things at all, for three years, the whole Huainan land has been made by him with black smoke miasma, black smoke miasma..."
"He's young, he left us so far from the beginning, and you don't help, it's excusable for him to have something, but you don't care, it's yours, he's your second brother's only son."
