Chapter Seventy-Six: Human Favors

"This emperor is really like a marquee. It's really diligent. ”

After these things came to an end, Chen Shuangchuan accidentally complained to He Jinbao, since the death of Emperor Heshun in the previous dynasty, in just a few years, just the famous emperor has experienced Emperor Fengtai Wuxuan, Baotai Emperor Wu Ye, Qianning Emperor Sima Hongwen, and now Jianing Emperor Sima Zixia.

"I wonder how long this emperor can be in office?"

"That's not a joke!" He Jinbao glared at Chen Shuangchuan fiercely, these days with Sima Zixia hard work, the hardships can no longer be summed up in a word, it is not easy to go home safely, but hearing Chen Shuangchuan such a statement, He Jinbao inevitably gave birth to the idea that a woman is really short-sighted, and said to Chen Shuangchuan seriously, "It always takes Sima Zixia to do it for a long time, so that we can live a good life." ”

He Jinbao is a real military merit, and there is a meritorious service, after Sima Zixia sat on the throne, sure enough, He Jinbao was on the list of the first batch of rewards, from the previous founding Wen Chengbo. He was promoted to the founding Marquis of Wencheng and received the post of General of the Leopard Cavalry.

After doing this thing, He Jinbao had a few days of leisure, just stayed at home and tended to his newborn son, at first he thought that the child was red and wrinkled and not good-looking at all, and after a few days it slowly grew, but he really saw a little similar to himself, the ears are quite similar, the chin is also similar, and the nose is a little similar, but it is still a little more like Chen Shuang.

In the past few days, what He Jinbao is most willing to do is to get together with He Ruyu, either arguing about who this baby is more like, or discussing the name that should be resounding.

The names of several brothers of the He family were given by Mrs. He, and the old man paid attention to auspiciousness, and the four brothers of the golden generation combined just happened to be rich and noble ingots. Auspicious is auspicious, but it's a pity that it's a little rustic, and He Jinbao was secretly ridiculed several times, and he was a little resentful of this name, so when it was his son's turn, He Jinbao vowed to take a name that was both loud and elegant and good-sounding.

According to the genealogy, this generation should be a jade generation, because a nephew took a single word, and He Jinbao successively looked for Huang, Jun, Long, and Lian. Xuan and other more than a dozen words, all of which mean beautiful jade.

In the end, Chen Shuangchuan chose a word, for her reason, she said: "This word looks the simplest, it will not make people admit mistakes, and when you study in the future, if you are naughty and punished for copying, it will be fast." ”

"I really want to ......" He Jinbao just thought about rebuttal, and suddenly remembered that his schoolwork was not very good when he was a child, and he didn't know how many things he had done when he was punished by Mr. for copying his name, and he really couldn't bear it for a while, so he nodded, and he liked it with Chen Shuang.

Soon it will be the day of Xiao He Jue's full moon, and the He family has no relatives in the capital, and He Jinbao was afraid that it would be too lonely, so he invited a few good colleagues to come.

Chen Shuangchuan received the female dependents in the inner courtyard, but felt that these ladies were a little unable to say a piece, fortunately, everyone had the intention of climbing friendship when they came, and they could always find some common topics.

It's just that there's a goose yellow dress in it. With a golden hairpin and a golden hairpin, it reflects a bright and moving face, with a bit of arrogance, and when he speaks, he always has a little thorn intentionally or unintentionally, which is Song Mingmei, the wife of Changshi Du Qiutang.

There are many differences between the capital and the countryside, and Chen Shuangchuan only slowly learned about it after he came.

As soon as she saw Song Mingmei, Chen Shuangchuan greeted "Mrs. Song" according to the habits of the countryside, and Song Mingmei's face changed greatly at that time, and she replied stiffly: "My husband's surname is Du." ”

After coming to the capital, Chen Shuangchuan has never been out, and he has basically never seen anyone, and most of the people who are good friends with He Jinbao are fellow villagers from Jiangzhou, and they still maintain similar habits, and they don't care much when they hear it.

I don't know if Mrs. Song was annoyed by Chen Shuangchuan's sentence, Song Mingmei was always a little lukewarm, sitting on the side, with a cold and arrogant temperament, and ignoring everyone.

Whether it was a little too much enthusiasm, or a prickly attitude in the cold, Chen Shuangchuan had a hard time coping, and after a while, he only felt that his face was sour, and he only felt that he couldn't even maintain a smile. As for today's protagonist Xiao He Jue, after lying on the small bed and being admired by these ladies and girls, he hummed a few times, and he couldn't hold back and fell asleep, so he let the nurse take him down. He Ruyu, who was sitting a little impatiently, quickly jumped down and followed into the house.

After a while, a mother-in-law came in and quietly told Chen Shuangchuan that He Jinbao had something to find her and asked her to come over.

After suing the ladies, Chen Shuangchuan followed the mother-in-law out and went to a small flower hall next door, but there was no shadow of He Jinbao in it, but a strange woman, a lotus-colored peony smoke shirt, an emerald mist scattered flower skirt, holding a red fox fur cloak, was twisting a small piece of snacks, and sent it to her mouth, while the mother-in-law who was waiting next to her was bending over, saying something to the person, with a look of disapproval.

This lady ......, "Why didn't He Jinbao leave someone to entertain him, and in a flash, the mother-in-law who led the way just now was gone, and Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

The mother-in-law standing next to the lady raised her head and whispered to Chen Shuang: "When you see the queen, don't kneel down and say goodbye!" ”

Queen Mother! Sima Zixia's queen Tong, it is said that she is a heroine who does not let her eyebrows, and when she is in crisis, she can carry a sword and follow Sima Zixia into battle to kill the enemy, and she is even more fierce than a man.

Chen Shuangchuan often listened to He Jinbao talk about these things, and invisibly left a very strong impression. I always felt that such a woman was either three heads and six arms, or full of flesh and hideous, but I didn't expect it to be such a delicate and beautiful woman.

After being stunned for a while, the mother-in-law who was following Queen Tong glared at Chen Shuangchuan in displeasure, and Chen Shuangchuan immediately reacted and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

After Empress Tong sent all the maids and mothers-in-law out, she took Chen Shuang's hand, sat down together, looked up and down carefully, and then pursed her lips and smiled secretly, saying, "I have always heard that General He married a fierce daughter-in-law. With an old man and a young man, he went from Wencheng to the high-rise building, and he thought he was so strong, but he didn't expect it to be such a delicate and lovely person. ”

What is the ...... Unexpectedly, Queen Tong actually had the same idea as her, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt much more cordial, and slowly chatted with her.

But after sitting for a while, Queen Tong was about to get up and go back to the palace, before leaving, she called the mother-in-law that Chen Shuangchuan saw just now, and said to Chen Shuangchuan: "This is Mama Fang, who is most familiar with the customs of the capital, so I will stay with you, and I can remind you if something happens." ”

Chen Shuangchuan didn't know that Queen Tong was in her mind, and she didn't dare to excuse herself, so she could only leave Mama Fang, and then respectfully send Queen Tong to the second gate, and the inconspicuous little sedan chair was waiting there, and when Queen Tong got on the sedan chair, she quietly carried it out.

Although Empress Tong came to He Mansion in Weifu, she didn't have a special way to hide her whereabouts, and the ladies who were waiting in the next hall quickly got the news, and they all showed quite surprised expressions, especially Song Mingmei, who was still a little arrogant just now, and her attitude changed even more suddenly, and she suddenly showed a bright smile from Chunhua, and couldn't help but let Chen Shuangchuan touch her arm, and always felt goosebumps popping up.

After finally sending the guests of this room away, Chen Shuangchuan pinched his sore shoulders, only to feel that smiling at these noble ladies for a day was simply more tiring than doing a day's work in the countryside.

got up and went to the room to take a look, He Ruyu was sleeping soundly on the bed with He Jue in her arms, two red little faces together, heads touching heads, flickering noses slightly, just looking at it, I felt soft in my heart, as if I was about to melt.

Reached out and touched He Ruyu's hair, and pulled the quilt for He Jue. Seeing them sleeping soundly, Chen Shuangchuan yawned unconsciously.

However, thinking of Mama Fang, Chen Shuangchuan felt a headache again, and he didn't know if it was the customs of the capital or the habits of these noble ladies, who always liked to stuff people into people's homes.

When He Jinbao came back, Chen Shuangchuan told him about Mama Fang, and then said: "It's just that there are more people to eat and provide for it, but it's just sent over one after another, sooner or later, this house won't be able to stuff it for a day." ”

"Usually you look very smart, why are you confused when you encounter this kind of thing, since it is the person sent by the queen, you take it, it is impossible to harm you." He Jinbao was also surprised by the fact that Empress Tong came over in person, but he saw it more clearly than Chen Shuangchuan, and Queen Tong also made a statement, showing her support for Chen Shuangchuan and the He family.

Chen Shuangchuan thought about it, Queen Tong really didn't have any reason to harm her, maybe she really put someone to help her.

Thinking like this, Chen Shuangchuan didn't put Mama Fang coldly, and would ask for advice when something happened, but felt that this was also a stable and reliable person, and a very good person to get along with.

Mama Fang's first suggestion to Chen Shuangchuan was that she should make a few new clothes.

The half-new jacket and the cyan linen skirt are all Chen Shuangchuan's usual dress, the same as when she was in the countryside, but as far as her current identity as the general's wife is concerned, she can't help but feel too shabby.

Chen Shuang lowered her head and looked at herself, as if she really needed to make a few clothes for visitors, not only her, He Ruyu, Mrs. He, but also needed to change a few new clothes, so she smiled and said, "Well, it's time to make a few beautiful dresses for Ruyu." ”

"Really, sister-in-law?" He Ruyu turned around in surprise, stared at Chen Shuangchuan with bright eyes, and said, "Then Ruyu wants that kind of red, embroidered with small flowers, is it okay?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Originally, I was going to buy the fabric and make it myself, but I just counted it with my fingers, this is not just a matter of two or three sets, it will take a short time to do it myself, Mama Fang said, go to the ready-to-wear shop to buy, she knows a very exquisite shop.

Since arriving in the capital, Chen Shuangchuan has not had a chance to go out, so he nodded after thinking about it, asked Chunhong to get the money, cleaned up, handed He Jue to the nurse, and took He Ruyu out of the door.

Although the capital was not directly affected by the war, the turmoil in the past few years still had a certain impact on the prosperous scene of the capital, and many places showed a sense of decadence.

The He family's mansion is close to the imperial city, and Mama Fang is also familiar with the capital, and she walks on the avenue with a group of people, and there are all kinds of goods everywhere, and it is also very lively to see.

After casually shopping around and buying a lot of small things, He Ruyu was still there excitedly distributing, "This is for the master, this is for the sister-in-law, this is for the little He Jue, and the rest of this is Ruyu's." ”

It was rare to see He Ruyu showing such a childish side, Chen Shuangchuan laughed unconsciously, and deliberately teased her: "What about Brother Ruyu, don't you have your brother's share?" ”

He Ruyu thought about it very seriously and said, "My brother goes out to shop every day, he can buy it himself, if Ruyu doesn't give it, he can't give it." As he spoke, he seemed to be afraid of being snatched away, hugging him tightly in his arms, staring around vigilantly.

That kind of coquettish appearance made this group of people laugh.

The ready-to-wear shop that Mama Fang said is on the west side of this street, and the name is simple Yunyifang, which must come from the sentence Yunxiang clothes and flowers, looking at the past, I really feel that a piece of clouds is brilliant, and I suddenly feel that my eyes are swaying.

It's been shopping for a long time, and it's the first time in his life that he has gone shopping like this, Chen Shuangchuan felt a little tired, and when Chunhong took He Ruyu to try on clothes inside, he looked at a chair just placed next to the window, and went over to sit down.

The window was ajar on the street, and when I looked up, I could just see a gold shop opposite, He Jinbao was bending down to choose on the counter, and next to him stood a woman in an emerald dress, dressed as a woman, listening intently, with a shallow smile on her delicate face like white porcelain.

Is that...... Li Lampey.

Chen Shuang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why, he suddenly reached out and closed the window tightly, and then said to Mama Fang with a puzzled expression casually: "I suddenly feel a little cold." ”

I don't know how the time was spent after that, and I don't know how I got home, but it seems that when I came back to my senses, I was already sitting in my room, He Jue was lying on the bed with his eyes open and spitting bubbles, He Ruyu pulled the corner of Chen Shuang's clothes, flattened his mouth, and seemed to be about to cry, "Sister-in-law......"

I don't know if it's because I've experienced a lot of things, He Ruyu, this kid is too obedient and sensitive, and almost instinctively felt the strangeness of Chen Shuang, and couldn't help but start worrying.

Reaching out and touching He Ruyu's hair, Chen Shuangchuan smiled and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law is just tired, Ruyu will play with He Jue for a while, sister-in-law will go to bed and make you snacks at night, okay?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"Hmm." After all, children are easy to coax, and after a while, He Ruyu followed Mama Fang out with a smile, leaving Chen Shuang in the room.

He Jinbao and Li Lanpei...... What exactly is the time to do?

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Chen Shuangchuan himself knows that since he was very young, He Jinbao has a special affection for Li Lanpei, if it weren't for Chen Shuang's joy, the person He Jinbao would marry in the end should be Li Lanpei, but the person who married her Chen Shuangchuan was still her.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Shuangchuan didn't know what it was like in his heart for a while, but he felt that the relationship between them was really chaotic, and he couldn't figure it out.

Chen Shuangchuan wanted to inquire about Li Lanpei's current situation, but she reached out and clicked on the candidate, and found that she didn't seem to be able to find a reliable person around her, and she didn't want He Jinbao to know about it, so she pressed her forehead against the window, feeling that the cool air slowly calmed down her scorching body temperature, Chen Shuangchuan seemed to slowly calm down, just thinking about whether it was time to find a way out for herself.

Lying on the back for a while, feeling a little refreshed, Chen Shuang got up, went to the kitchen, and made dinner with his own hands.

Fried small fish, mutton soup, stir-fried cabbage, and a dish of pickled vegetables and tofu are all according to the southern practice, without enlarging the garlic and adding spices, which looks refreshing and refreshing.

"Why don't you cook a few more dishes?" He Jinbao eats a lot of food, and there are few dishes, and the dishes made by Chen Shuangchuan are to his taste, so he can't help but eat a big mouthful, and it didn't take a few times to fry to the bottom of the plate, and he immediately complained.

The dishes were deliberately made by Chen Shuangbao, but she didn't reply, and when she finished eating and cleaning up, Chen Shuangchuan took out the account book and flipped through it, and said to He Jinbao very sadly: "Master, where can I conveniently put some fields in this capital?" ”

"Isn't it enough?"

"When He Jue was full moon, he received a lot of gifts, and when he encountered something, he always had to give back the gift, and the money should always be kept for backup, and he should be able to cope with the past."

Chen Shuangchuan pushed the account book to He Jinbao to see, He Jinbao glanced at it, only felt that it was densely packed with numbers, and couldn't help but feel dazzled, He Jinbao still had the same temperament as before, and it was not a problem for him to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he was really not good at reading and reading the account book. I can only frown and say, "You can do these things?" ”

"Last time, the queen gave me some gold, so it's better to buy some Zhuangzi." Chen Shuang pondered for a while, seeing that He Jinbao didn't seem to have any big objections, he continued, "This child grows up very quickly, Ruyu will marry someone in a few years, He Jue will marry a wife, and he must always leave some for them, and it will be too late if he is not prepared." ”

"It's only a few years old, and you're thinking so far away."

"No matter how much, it's always on my mind. If the lord agrees, I will go and see, only in my name, even if people ask in the future, the lord can say that this is the short-sighted knowledge of the landlord's wife in the countryside, and it will live up to the reputation of the lord. ”
