The Young Lady of the General’s House - Chapter 140
Chapter One Hundred and Forty
After learning the news that Chu Xiuyuan and the others had entered the palace, Shen Jin graciously took the last lamb sent from the border to the kitchen to tidy up, and then turned it into roast lamb and distributed it to the people in the Zhao Mansion. In fact, Shen Jin is not stingy, but these sheep were specially sent by Chu Xiuming. There are only a few of them, and there is no possibility of supplementing one. Not to mention, Madam Zhao also said. The people in the General’s Mansion knew that Shen Jin liked to eat the mutton that is unique to the border city, so they specially asked someone to raise it carefully, and the people in the border city knew that it was the general’s wife who wanted to use it, and they used it with extra care.
Because the children don’t eat too many baked things, Mother Zhao also made mutton soup and mutton pancakes for them to eat, not to mention the same taste as Shen Jin, that is, Chu Chenbo and Yue Qingyun both ate them. She was very happy, and finally drank some hawthorn soup for digestion.
In the capital, Chu Xiuyuan did not live in the palace at all. Instead, after taking control of the capital, he lived in Yongninghou’s mansion. This is Chu Xiuming’s residence, although Chu Xiuyuan has never been there. But when Shen Jin was packing up, he deliberately cleaned up a courtyard for Chu Xiuyuan. After all, in Shen Jin’s heart, Chu Xiuyuan was also a member of the Chu family, and there should be a place for him to live here.
At this time, Chu Xiuyuan lived in this courtyard. He took a sip of tea, “It doesn’t make a difference.” The tea he is drinking now is a royal product sent by those in the palace specially for the royal family to taste. Just so many points are naturally precious, but Chu Xiuyuan feels that it is no different from the big bowl of tea he drank in the border town. “Just add some honey and goat’s milk.”
If you let others hear Chu Xiuyuan’s words, I’m afraid you’ll be crazy, but Chu Xiuming nodded. My little lady actually doesn’t like tea. Even if she drinks tea, she likes to cook with goat’s milk. Sometimes there will be some plums in it. For things like fruit slices or red dates, a little honey should be added to it at the end, and Chu Xiuyuan also likes that appetite.
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Xiuming and said, “Brother, when are you going to pick up your sister-in-law?”
“The day after tomorrow,” Chu Xiuming said, “I will also take Mr. Zhao over by the way.”
Chu Xiuyuan nodded, they discussed this matter, and then they will take Zhao Ru to Chu Xiuyuan as a teacher. After all, Chu Xiuyuan has not really been exposed to how to manage the government. Besides Zhao Ru, there is Prime Minister Shi Yu. Shi Yu is not only talented, but also absolutely loyal, able to better assist Chu Xiuyuan.
Chu Xiuming stretched out his hand and patted Chu Xiuyuan’s shoulder and said, “Xiuyuan, you should restore your original name.”
Chu Xiuyuan pursed his lips. Actually, his name was not Chu Xiuyuan. This was changed after arriving in the border town. His name was Shen Yuan. This was the name his father gave him, and he always remembered this name, but it was also Very unfamiliar, because he just remembered it since he was a child, no one ever called.
“Brother, can you call me?” Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Xiuming and said with a few pleadings.
Chu Xiuming smiled and tapped his forehead, as if he were a child, “Shen Yuan, in fact, whether you are called Shen Yuan or Chu Xiuyuan, you are all you, there is no difference, but just a name.”
Chu Xiuyuan, that is, Shen Yuan was stunned when he heard the words, nodded, and laughed, “Yes, I think too much, brother.”
Chu Xiuming shook his head and didn’t say anything. He understood what Chu Xiuyuan felt in his heart, so he stayed for a few more days so that Chu Xiuyuan could adapt and have no worries.
It takes 20 days to travel from the capital to Chuyuan, and Chu Xiuming took the people to rush to Chuyuan in just 13 days. Even Chu Xiuming couldn’t hide his fatigue during the journey, especially the few before that. In August, he didn’t get a good rest either.
After Zhao Ru knew that Chu Xiuming was here, he was directly led to Shen Jin’s courtyard. Even if there were more things to discuss, it could not disturb the relationship between the young couple and Zhao Ru squeezed his own. Beard, sure enough, he is still very reasonable.
Shen Jin did not know the news that Chu Xiuming had arrived. She would have to wait at least a month for Chu Xiuming to arrive, but when she looked at the person in front of her, Shen Jin’s eyes were red. She has not seen Chu Xiuming for almost a year. No, the last time I met, I only got along for a short period of time. Shen Jin ran towards Chu Xiuming carrying her skirt, and Chu Xiuming quickly stepped forward and hugged the little lady in her arms, lowering her head to the center of her eyebrows. A kiss was printed, “I’m here to pick you up.”
“Husband…” Shen Jin whimpered, clutching Chu Xiuming’s clothes with both hands, “husband…”
“Well, I’m here to pick you up.” Chu Xiuming’s hand gently stroked Shen Jin’s back, “Didn’t she send Mother Zhao, why are you still thin.”
Shen Jin didn’t hear what Chu Xiuming was saying, loosened his clothes, put his arms around Chu Xiuming’s neck, and hung herself tightly on Chu Xiuming’s body.
Chu Xiuming directly hugged Shen Jin in such an awkward posture and walked inside. Shen Jin was originally playing with the two children in the yard. At this time, Mother Zhao had asked An Ning and An Ping to pick up the two children. Then took the children down, letting no one disturb the reunion between the general and the general’s wife.
After Mother Zhao led Chu Xiuming into Shen Jin’s room, she closed the door from the outside.
Chu Xiuming put Shen Jin on the bed, lowered his head and kissed Shen Jin’s forehead, corners of his eyes, and the tip of his nose, and finally landed on Shen Jin’s lips. Shen Jin held Chu Xiuming tightly with both hands, actively responding to Chu Xiuming’s kiss…
Dongdong, who had returned from school outside the house, was stopped by Mother Zhao at the door. Dongdong looked at Mother Zhao in doubt and asked, “Mother, where is my mother?”
Grandma Zhao said respectfully, “Is the young master hungry? Madam specially asked the kitchen to make crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for the young master.”
Dongdong heard the crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake eyes light up, “Where’s mother?”
“The madam is sleeping, and the young master will be able to see the madam later.” Madam Zhao did not directly say about Chu Xiuming’s arrival. After all, there is no way to explain to Dongdong why the general is here, instead of seeing him. My mother couldn’t see such a thing, “Master, do you want to play with the girl and the young master?”
Dongdong thought for a while and then nodded and said, “Okay, I will take care of my younger siblings and let my mother rest.”
Mother Zhao smiled and took Dongdong away.
It’s just that Dongdong still didn’t see Shen Jin today, and he didn’t even hand over the cakes specially reserved for Shen Jin. However, Dongdong met Chu Xiuming. Dongdong already knew Chu Xiuming and saw him. Chu Xiuming in Jinyi widened his eyes and leaped forward and shouted, “Father, I miss you so much.”
Chu Xiuming picked Dongdong up and let him sit on his shoulders. Dongdong laughed. Chu Xiuming also saw Chu Chenbo and Yue Qingyun. Just now, Mother Zhao had already told Chu Xiuming about Yue Even if Qingyun had been prepared, Chu Xiuming’s heart moved a little when he saw the two brothers. Chu Chenbo and Yue Qingyun always reminded him of his and Chu Xiuyao’s childhood.
After a few people sat down, Dongdong still sat in Chu Xiuming’s arms, chatting about his younger siblings. Chu Xiuming realized it after listening for a long time. It turned out that his son had regarded his younger sister as his younger brother, and his younger brother as his younger sister. Squeezing his son’s face, Chu Xiuming looked at Chu Chenbo and asked, “What have you learned recently?”
Chu Chenbo carefully explained what he had learned. Chu Xiuming nodded and looked at Yue Qingyun, and asked, “What did Qingyun have learned?”
Yue Qingyun was a little flattered. After learning about the Chu family, he admired this Yongninghou especially, but today he not only met Yongninghou, but Yongninghou also asked him what lessons he had learned. Yue Qingyun said it with excitement. In fact, what he learned was about the same as Chu Chenbo, and worse than Chu Chenbo. After all, Chu Chenbo had been taught by Chu Xiuming before.
Chu Xiuming nodded, not impatient, and said after listening, “Show me your homework tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Both Chu Chenbo and Yue Qingyun said respectfully.
He raised his little head and said, “Father, I also learned to write.”
Chu Xiuming’s eyes softened a lot, and he lowered his head and rubbed his son in his arms and said, “Okay, my father will check it on you tomorrow.”
Dongdong nodded vigorously, then turned to look at the interior room, “Father, why can’t my mother get up yet? Is it uncomfortable?”
“Mother is a little tired, father has already visited.” Of course, Chu Xiuming would not say that he was tired of getting the little lady out of bed. After all, they hadn’t been together for nearly two years, and Chu Xiuming inevitably couldn’t help it , “Don’t worry, you can see your mother tomorrow.”
Dongdong said, “Okay.”
After saying a few more words, Chu Xiuming let the three of them go to play, and went to see Zhao Ru himself. He also thanked the Zhao family for taking care of his little lady, and also talked about the situation in Beijing and what Chu Xiuyuan meant.
When Shen Jin woke up, he saw Chu Xiuming sitting on a soft couch playing with the two children. The two children had grown up a lot, but Chu Xiuming still saw that Sisi is much weaker than Nannan, but But Chu Xiuming’s heart was full of relief, and the children were alive.
When Chu Xiuming saw Shen Jin rise, he asked An Ning and Anping to take good care of the child. He poured a glass of water into his arms and fed Shen Jin to her. After the two loved him, Chu Xiuming had already washed Shen Jin in his arms. , Even the things on the bed have been cleaned up, so it doesn’t make people uncomfortable.
Shen Jin drank a glass of water to get better, and said, “Hold Nannan and Xixi.”
“Yes.” An Ning and An Ping took the two children over. Nan Nan and Xi Xiben got close to Shen Jin, and they babbled and talked as soon as they got to the bed.
Shen Jin said suddenly, “Bring Dongdong here.”
Chu Xiuming’s eyes flashed and he understood what Shen Jin meant. The five of his family had not been together yet.
Dongdong’s room was not far from Shen Jin, so he came over soon. He looked at Shen Jin and then at Chu Xiuming with bright eyes. Finally, he looked at his younger brother and sister with obvious desire on his face. Chu Xiuming directly Reaching out to hug Dongdong onto the bed, Shen Jin touched Dongdong’s head and said, “Will Dongdong sleep with us today?”
“Okay.” Dongdong quickly replied, “I have finished freshening up!”
“Really good boy.” Shen Jin laughed.
An Ning and the others also fetched water and waited for Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin to freshen up. When they were done, An Ning took the people back out. Chu Xiuming turned off the lights and lay on the bed. Shen Jin slept in the innermost part, and Chu Xiuming slept in the bottom part. Outside, the three children slept in the middle. Dongdong touched Shen Jin’s hand and Chu Xiuming’s hand for a while, and then touched his younger brother and sister who had fallen asleep, “I feel very happy! Never been so happy! happy!”
Chu Xiuming replied, “From now on, our family will be together.”
“Good.” Dongdong said.
Shen Jin felt that the happiness of a lifetime is like this. With a husband and children, they are all together, “happy and content.”
“It’s the same.”
