Chapter 365: Speculation
Liang Xi glanced at Wen Jin a little strangely: "It turns out that when Mrs. Shi was there, we had a lot of interactions, but now this one, with his eyes on his forehead, basically has no interaction except for sending a servant to give gifts during the holidays." β
"Wasn't Shi Chengzong transferred to the Ministry of War? What about the money and food of the northern Xinjiang camp, and she doesn't have anything to do with you? β
Liangxi smiled: "The concubine is really well-informed, and the master has only been in office for a few days." As she spoke, she frowned, "The day before yesterday, Marshal Shi's Mansion sent a post, inviting me to the Mansion to enjoy chrysanthemums, I was going to refuse, but I haven't replied to the post yet." β
"What day was invited?"
"September 14, there are still ten days left, I'm afraid that I will refuse at the beginning, the person surnamed Wang is unhappy, and I plan to delay it for a few days and then find an excuse to refuse."
"Listen to me, you go, I want to inquire about something."
"Tell me." Liangxi followed Wen Jin to the capital back then, and Wen Jin was with her, and it was appropriate to be sisters, and she was more intimate than Liangqing and Wen Jin together.
"I'm very strange how the Shi family and the Dong family suddenly became cold after they got married, during the New Year's holiday, the Shi family gave the Dong family a return gift, and they have always been small maids and little maids who can't be on the stage, and Mrs. Shi, as a junior, has never visited the Dong family."
"I know a little bit about that." Liangxi was straightforward and said very heartily, "Mrs. Shi thought that she had climbed the Dong family and met a peerless marriage, she wrote a letter to Marshal Shi for advice, but she didn't want to encounter the heavy rain at the border, the road was blocked, and the Dong family frequently urged, so she agreed to come down on her own initiative, who knew that the two families had passed the small decision, but the marshal's reply arrived, saying that she was afraid that her daughter would grow up in the countryside and be too wronged by marrying high. β
"Then why hasn't this marriage been canceled?"
"Mrs. Shi wrote to the marshal, the matter has been settled, the marshal has not replied, for half a year, the Shi family's subordinates have guessed that the marshal is really angry, Mrs. Shi doesn't know what to do now, the Dong family's relatives, where does she dare to say that she will retreat?"
Liangqing listened on the side, and couldn't help but interject: "It is estimated that Marshal Shi did not reply to the letter, which is also what he meant, he didn't dare to withdraw from his family, but he didn't like this family business, so he had to drag it." β
Their rhetoric happened to coincide with Wen Jin's guess, but after all, it was speculation, and Wen Jin hoped that Liangxi could help her inquire clearly.
"Don't worry, concubine, I will inquire quietly."
After finishing the business, Wen Jin, Liangqing and Liangxi started a family routine: "Liangxi, Uncle Wei returned to his hometown in the spring, did you have any letters?" β
"Yes." Liangxi replied, "My father and brother are doing well there, and he doesn't seem to be planning to come to the capital." β
"How so? What about your brother's errand in the household department? β
"He had already quit when he left, I listened to my father's meaning, he wanted to use the money he saved to buy land at home, and my brother would probably open a salt shop in the county seat."
Liang Hong, the chief official of the household department, is a close confidant of Dong Jincai, and Qian Wenhan wrote to the emperor back then, and the new system established in the new system can, to a large extent, eliminate the accumulated disadvantages of corruption among the household officials, and make the accounts of the household department more clearly understood, which can effectively curb corruption.
Wen Jin comforted Sister Liangqing: "It's okay like this, as long as life is comfortable, it's the same everywhere." β
"Yes, Daddy said, Ye Luo returns to the roots, and he and his mother should also think about Qingfu."
"Your brother's eldest daughter-in-law, is this baby a boy or a girl?"
"Boy, my father and mother are so happy."
"Hehe, hug my great-grandson."
"Not really."
Wen Jin has to stay for dinner, Liangqing sisters also want to be close to her, so they are also good, the happiest is Mango and Guiyuan, they are still young, although there are little maids to play with, but those children because of their identity limitations, always carefully let her, so that the game is not interesting, it is easy to have friends to play, they are both excited to have bright eyes, after eating, Liangqing and Liangxi said goodbye and left, Guiyuan pulled Liangxi's little daughter reluctant to let go, Mango simply cried in front of Wen Jin and coquettish: "Mother, let Cousin Xiaoyue stay." Let's stay at our house for a few days, woo-"
"Mango is good, my mother will invite Xiaoyue over in a few days, you don't let her go back, what should I do if Sister Xiaoyue's father misses her? Also, her grandfather, grandmother, aunt, uncle, heck, so many people miss her, what to do? β
Mango flattened his mouth, although he was reluctant, he still let go of Xiao Yue's hand, and just asked with expectation: "Sister, come back to play in a few days." β
"Okay."
Xiaoyue is only eight months older than Mango, and she also looks reluctant, and looks at Liangqing rarely: "Concubine, I didn't expect the four of them to have fate and be able to play together." β
"Then you two can come and sit down when you have time, don't always wait for me to give you a post."
"Okay, concubine, come when we have time, don't be annoyed."
Wen Jin took the children and sent them to the second gate before returning, Mango and Gui Yuan had already held hands and played by themselves, ordinary twins because they had playmates, it was not easy to accept other children, today so rare Xiaoyue and Tongtong, it is really rare.
Wen Jin didn't know what the character of the original owner who inherited his body was, he always felt that Gui Yuan looked like Qian Jun and had a personality like himself, while Mango looked like himself, but his personality was like Qian Jun, a ghost, at a young age, she was a performance master at the level of a movie queen, she was obviously teary-eyed just now, her eyelashes were still wet, and she got carried away with Gui Yuan in a blink of an eye, and this change of face was too fast, thinking about Qian Jun, there were so many eyes like a sieve, Wen Jin's heart couldn't help but guess like this.
When Qian Jun came back in the evening, he saw Wen Jin and his two daughters playing eagle to catch chickens, Gui Yuan was always easy to be caught by Wen Jin, but Mango was mostly able to pull out a little maid from behind his mother's back, the more he looked at it, the more interesting he felt, and he couldn't help but laugh along.
Seeing her husband laughing, Wen Jin stopped, handed over her daughter to the nurse, and asked them to help take a bath and change clothes, and she also ordered Chunming to arrange for her mother-in-law to carry the bath water.
Qian Jun was helped by Wen Jin, changed his clothes, pulled Wen Jin's wrist with an ambiguous face, and entered the bathroom: "Jin'er, I seem to have snubbed you recently." β
Wen Jin knew what he meant, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." β
"Not yet, I remember coming back for a few days and falling asleep."
"How old are you, you're youngβ" Wen Jin was gagged before he finished his words.
Qian Jun traced his wife's lip line with his tongue, and muttered in a hoarse voice: "Can't I be old and strong?" β
"What the hellβ"
Wen Jin's words were not finished, and he was blocked again: "You said that I am old, I will not give you proof today, and next time, you will still look down on me." β
Although it was a joke, Wen Jin's heart still flashed a trace of strangeness, she came to this world, it has been more than 30 years, if it weren't for Qian Jun's company, she really didn't dare to imagine, how to survive the past 20 years and 7,000 days and nights, she was grateful, she couldn't help but succumb to it, happy, more active and enthusiastic than ever, Qian Jun had never seen his wife like this, and she was so excited that she got carried away with excitement, until the two of them were finally exhausted, so they had to stop, hug each other and fall asleep.
The next day, Wen Jin got up at the end of the morning, Qian Jun had already gone out, she freshened up and ate, and then took Mango and Longan to play in the garden, until the two children were tired, then they came back, and had lunch, the nurse took her daughter to take a nap, and she was alone in a daze at the empty house.
"Princess, do you want me to help you beat your back?" Chunlan walked in quietly.
Wen Jin liked Chunlan's thoughtfulness very much, she shook her head: "You are not young anymore, you have two children, you will be tired of beating my back." β
"Don't be tired, princess, you are very considerate of us, never let us do it for too long, besides, when I am tired, I will call Chunxiang."
"Okay, up to you."
Chunlan walked behind Wen Jin, starting from her shoulders, kneading and hammering, Wen Jin's back was not so tight and tired, since she was over forty, she felt that her body was starting to go downhill, not as good as before, after sitting for a long time, her waist was sore and soft.
Chunlan pinched it for a while, and suggested to Wen Jin in a low voice: "The princess might as well take off her coat and lie on the bed, and I'll help you rub your waist." β
"Come on, you sit aside and talk to me."
"Yes, Princess."
Chunxiang is just into a little girl, when Wen Jin picked people, she was still like a willow branch, thin and weak, very delicate, who knows that half a year, she swelled rapidly like a balloon, and now she grows tall and strong, this child is clumsy, admitting death, just because Wen Jin once gave her a few taels of silver and some medicinal materials, saved her father's life, Chunxiang is very loyal to Wen Jin, Chunming suggested that Wen Jin give her a name with spring, and let people teach her to learn massage and massage, specifically serving Wen Jin.
Wen Jin is also called Chunxiang as a last resort, her hands are very heavy, although it is very comfortable afterward, but the process of massage is very painful, and Wen Jin sometimes can't stand it.
When Chunxiang came in, her face was a little excited, she regarded serving Wen Jin as a reward, and every time she was so grateful, she didn't pretend, but really thought so.
"Haruka, start lightly." Chunlan tips. "Oh, okay." Chunxiang is worthy of learning from the doctor, as soon as her hand is on the acupuncture point, Wen Jin only felt sore and painful, and immediately lay on his stomach and couldn't speak. But she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, but Chunxiang began to say: "Princess, the slave's father went out yesterday and saw the third master. β
