Chapter 46

Chen Jin was sitting in the carriage at this time, arguing with Chu Xiuming about food outside. Chen Jin felt that the matter in Prince Rui's Mansion had been solved, so he didn't need to think about it anymore. "That time, it was because I used a bowl of ice after I came back and I had a stomachache."

Chu Xiuming raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Jin. Chen Jin hummed twice with a weak voice, "It's not that the food outside is not clean."

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming poured a cup of tea and asked, "Are you thirsty?"

"I'm thirsty." Chen Jin said coquettishly.

Chu Xiuming did not hand over the teacup, but fed Chen Jin some. He waited until Chen Jin stopped drinking before he finished the rest. Chen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and said with some loss, "I haven't seen my mother today."

"Not hindrance." Chu Xiuming said, "Now you are close to you and you can go anytime."

Chen Jin nodded and said nothing, thinking about today's Chen Zi, Chen Jing and Shen Rong. Chen Rong was nothing, but Chen Zi and Shen Jing were a little... different from usual, especially Chen Jing. She remembered that Chen Jing was not like this before marriage. Although Chen Jing always looked like a talented woman in front of King Rui, at least she could hold back. She performed a little abnormally today? The feeling of being too much is not as good as the feeling of being noble and artificial in the past. She was so delicate and always felt a little inconsistent.

Moreover, Chen Jing was very hostile to her. Chen Jin frowned. It turned out that there was no one. Could it be that he was jealous? He was jealous of her marriage well, and Yongning Bo was not as rumored as it was? But if you really count it, Mrs. Yongning Bo could not be Chen Jing, and Chen Zi? Thinking of the eldest sister's intentional or unintentional disclosure about the eldest son of the Zheng family, Chen Jin felt that Chen Zi should be lost and uncomfortable, but who made her cry and make a fuss and not marrying her?

Chen Jin did not feel guilty about Chen Zi at all. She suffered hardships in the border town and had to live a life of death to get the happiness of today. It had nothing to do with Shen Zi. Chen Jin felt that life was all her own. If it were Chen Zi, she would probably go back to Beijing as soon as she arrived in the border town or "died" directly.

But this has nothing to do with Shen Jing. Chen Jin also wants to admit that Princess Rui can see through the man's mind but disdain to do it. Concubine Xu arrested her very accurately, otherwise she would not be able to gain a foothold in Princes Rui's Mansion just by her appearance. Of course, there are also reasons why Princess Rui is indulging her.

Concubine Xu's three daughters, Chen Zi, is the most outstanding in appearance, and is ranked among the top names in the entire capital, so it's okay to be arrogant. Facing her beautiful appearance, it makes men feel as beautiful as the sun, while Chen Jing and Shen Rong are a little worse. Therefore, Concubine Xu asked Chen Jing to cultivate in a noble and talented direction. Chen Rong was innocent and innocent with a kind of obedience. If Concubine Xu had not done too much at the time, she wanted to suppress Chen Qi, which angered Princess Rui and made her fuck her, she might have really made Concubine Xu succeed.

Chen Jing has talent, but she also has a high self-esteem. She used to look down on Chen Jin, or even looked down on Concubine Chen. In addition to helping Chen Zi squeeze Chen Jin, she was disdainful to make things difficult for her. Who knew that today she changed her previous personality. Chen Jin glanced at Chu Xiuming's face. Who said that Hongyan was in trouble? Even if it was not Hongyan, it would be a disaster. I still don't know how Concubine Xu would end after she knew it.

Chu Xiuming naturally noticed his wife's gaze, and with a question in his eyes, Chen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's finger and bit her a few bites and said, "I think it's not good to have too many people to live."

"Huh?" Chen Jin's strength was not painful or itchy for Chu Xiuming, and he didn't care, but he was looking forward to what his little lady could say.

Chen Jin got into Chu Xiuming's arms and whispered, "Look, there are so many women in my father's backyard, but how many are they really good to him?" Princess Rui put herself in the position of the princess, not the wife of Princess Rui. Chen Jin didn't know what kind of life Princess Rui was looking forward to living when she first married Princess Rui, but she felt that it would not be like this now. Princess Rui had a sense of disappointment after being disappointed. No matter how smart she was, she wanted to have someone to rely on, instead of supporting everything alone like now. "I think the mother is very tired."

Chu Xiuming simply held Chen Jin in his arms and let her sit on his lap. Chen Jin's weight was no similar to Chu Xiuming, "Yeah."

"My mother...I don't think she likes her father." Chen Jin whispered, "My mother is so beautiful."

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming actually understood what Chen Jin meant, and knew what Chen Jin wanted to say, but he just wanted to hear Chen Jin say it. In fact, sometimes Chu Xiuming felt that he could not see through Chen Jin, and seemed to be happy no matter what kind of life. Sometimes Chu Xiuming would also wonder, what would happen if Chen Jin had not married him? Will it be happier to marry a simpler person?

Chen Jin thought Chu Xiuming didn't believe it, so he turned his head and leaned over, "I look very much like a mother."

Chu Xiuming chuckled, "Aren't you saying you're beautiful?"

Chen Jin smiled and bent his eyes, "Yeah."

Chu Xiuming's eyes flashed. Even if he married a simple person, Chen Jin, so what if he was happier? She was his wife, but he could only be his wife. "Yes, I also think my wife is outstanding in beauty and no one can compare to it."

Chen Jin nodded shyly, suddenly thought of what he was going to say, grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and took another bite, "It's all your fault, I almost forgot what I wanted to say."

"You say, I'll listen." Chu Xiuming was not angry either. He held Chen Jin's hand in his back, and his hand was able to put Chen Jin's hand in.

"I don't know what Concubine Xu said, but she also has her own thoughts." Chen Jin said, "After all, she has children."

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming thought that Chen Zi and the other two were not better than his little wife. King Rui's eyes were really bad. He mistakenly treated the dead fish as a pearl and left the real treasure without caring about it. But it's okay, if it were Chen Zi who married him, it would be impossible to bear it at all.

Chen Jin said, "Mother actually doesn't like the life of the royal family. Mother...is unwilling to give birth to a baby for her father." Concubine Chen said in person. At that time, Chen Jin envied Chen Zi for having a sister. Their sisters were together every day, so she went to ask her mother. The mother did not hide it, and only said that it would be enough to have a child like Jin Niang in this life. "Mother said that having children for the loved one is a kind of happiness, giving birth to a husband is a responsibility, and having children for her husband is a blessing in her concubine."

Chu Xiuming responded, thinking that his mother-in-law was a clear person, and it was such a person who could develop a contented and happy character like Chen Jin.

Chen Jin was not sad, and his tone was also very calm. He leaned against Chu Xiuming's arms, shaking his little feet. The pair of colorful butterflies embroidered on his shoes seemed to fly. "And there is no one left, how much sincerity can he have for his father?"

This was like asking Chu Xiuming, and more like asking herself.

Chu Xiuming felt that Chen Jin's hands were a little cold, and he tightened his grip a little.

Chen Jin looked down at the hands of the two people and said, "So it's not that there are more people, there are more feelings. On the contrary, the more people, the thinner the feelings. So, husband, are we at home?"

At the end, it seemed as if it was embarrassing and a little uncertain. The voice was trembling with a slight trembling. He was obviously afraid, but he was reluctant to give up and admit defeat.

"Okay." Chu Xiuming felt soft and he was no longer willing to tease Chen Jin. "Only we, there will be no one else."

Chen Jin didn't react for a moment. She didn't expect Chu Xiuming to agree to her so easily. However, she got up from Chu Xiuming's arms and sat face to face on Chu Xiuming's lap, putting her hands on his neck, and putting her forehead against her, "Well, I want to give birth to a baby for my husband."

Chu Xiuming's eyes were full of smiles. His shy little lady even confessed her love, "Yes."

In fact, just after eating in the Rui Palace, Chen Qi asked Chen Jin if Chen Zi would scratch his heart when he went back. Chen Jin knew what Chen Qi meant, but she pretended not to understand anything. Because this matter involved Chu Xiuming, Chen Zi was unwilling to marry Chu Xiuming, so he finally chose Zheng Jiaqu. It was not a secret in the Rui Palace. Although Chen Zi suffered the loss in the end, it was related to Chu Xiuming's face issue, so Chen Jin could not understand.

Chen Qi was not disgusted, but he lived in the Yongle Marquis Mansion a little depressed, so when he returned home, he had a father, his mother and two younger brothers to support him, but Chen Jin was not good enough. The only thing that Prince Rui really considered her was Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen had no status and could not speak.

But thinking of Chen Qi's good deeds to her, he lowered his eyes slightly and whispered, "I hate my eldest brother-in-law."

"Huh?" Chu Xiuming gently patted Chen Jin's back and said, "I understand."

Chen Jin felt that after the complaint was over, Chu Xiuming would naturally help her vent her anger, so he didn't care.

When he arrived at Yongning Bo Mansion, Chen Jin got off Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming got off the carriage first, and without using a horse stool, he reached out and hugged Chen Jin down. He held her hand and walked inside. Chen Jin's wish was fulfilled. Chu Xiuming promised to vent his anger for the eldest sister. At this time, he was particularly happy and said, "By the way, why would my father ask you to go to the competition?"

"Ha." Chu Xiuming chuckled, with a hint of mockery inside.

"I don't think my second brother-in-law should be so stupid. Did you do anything?" Chen Jin asked after hearing the meaning of Chu Xiuming's laughter.

Chu Xiuming did not admit it or deny it, but some people who have high self-esteem would not bother to vent their wives, if they were not to vent their wives, they would not be bothered by the fact that their wives were a little stupid, so what if King Rui was his father? It would not work.

Chen Jin didn't care if he didn't get an answer, "Why are they not injured?"

Chu Xiuming stopped and looked at Chen Jin, saying, "That's your father and brother-in-law, so naturally you can't be hurt." It's not good to be seen if you're seen as hurting people. Besides, who said that you must see that you're hurt on the surface? Isn't this leaving a handle for people?

Chen Jin blinked his eyes, looking puzzled, Chu Xiuming's mouth raised slightly and said, "Don't ask again."

"I always feel that if you bully them, they must remember your good deeds." Chen Jin frowned and muttered in a low voice.

Chu Xiuming heard it, and indeed his wife was still smarter.

Madam Zhao was already waiting in the mansion and also made sobering soup for Chu Xiuming. Anping went to pack up the things that Princess Rui gave today. The registration for those who should be registered in the warehouse were included. Madam Zhao and An Ning served Chen Jin to change into regular clothes. "Is the lady still happy to have fun in the palace?"

"Yeah." Chen Jin sat in a good mood at the dressing table and asked Mama Zhao to take all her headdresses. She slept with a simple ribbon, tied it up with a bracelet on her wrist by herself, and said, "My mother specially prepared the dishes I like in the kitchen, and the eldest sister said a lot of thoughtful words to me," she turned her head and smiled at Mama Zhao, "I'm very happy, but unfortunately I didn't see my mother, but my husband said that she would be close in the future and could go at any time."

In Shen Jin's mouth, Madam Zhao was probably a good person, and she couldn't feel it even if she was bullied, so she looked at An Ning. Although she believed that the general would protect her wife, there were some places where the general was not there. If it weren't for inconvenience, she would have to follow her, so as not to suffer grievances in places where the general and she could not see.

But she never thought that Chen Jin suddenly lowered her face and said, "But the fourth sister hates it." She had never fought for anything. Even if it was her things in the palace, Chen Zi and the others would give it up. But the husband couldn't do it. The husband had promised that she would only have one in this life, so she would never give up her husband. Even if that person was her sister, she would not be able to do so.

"Huh?" Madam Zhao didn't expect to hear someone he hated from her wife. I think that the fourth sister really made Chen Jin unhappy. Madam Zhao's face changed, she glared at An Ning with a sharp look and said, "But she bullied the lady?" Sure enough, someone would bully the lady if she didn't follow her, which was too much.

"But it's okay." Chen Jin quickly regained his smile, changed his shoes, and felt much lighter when he stood up. "My husband said he didn't have to see him in the future. By the way, my grandmother and I will go to my elder sister's place tomorrow and help me prepare a gift for Yonglehou and her wife."

"Yes." Madam Zhao lowered her expression in her eyes and said respectfully.

Chen Jin walked out with a smile and asked, "Madam has prepared snacks for me? I think the pastries made in the royal palace are not suitable for my appetite."

Madam Zhao followed Shen Jin and walked out. An Ning cleaned up the clothes that Chen Jin had worn to the little maid beside her, cleaned up the jewelry, and then left the house.

"I counted the time, thinking that the general and his wife were coming back soon." Madam Zhao said with a smile, "It happened to be out of the pot at this time."

Chen Jin nodded and stepped a little faster. When he arrived in the hall, he saw Chu Xiuming had already taken a shower and changed his clothes and was talking to the guards in the mansion. When he saw Chen Jin coming, he nodded to the guards, gave him a few more instructions, and asked someone to go down.

Madam Zhao went to the kitchen to pick up the things, An Ning packed up the things and came out to serve again. Chen Jin saw it and said, "An Ning, you and An Ping should go to rest, and you have been standing for a day." In the Rui Prince's Mansion, An Ning and An Ning never left Chen Jin, and they were still standing.

An Ning smiled and said, "Madam is unobstructed."

"Then you and Madam Zhao both sit down." Chen Jin thought for a while and said.

Seeing that the general did not speak, An Ning helped Madam Zhao put the fruit and tea together, and then moved Xiaoyuandun. After Madam Zhao sat down, she sat down.

Mama Zhao ordered the pastries made in the kitchen to be according to the taste of Chen Jin. Only a little sugar is added to the seasoning with honey. Some pastries also have milk and mint, which is particularly refreshing. Chu Xiuming poured Chen Jin a cup of flower tea and then asked, "Didn't you eat well in the palace?"

"I just think the taste of the home is better." Chen Jin said with a smile.

Chu Xiuming nodded and asked directly, "When I was in the backyard, were you embarrassed?"

Chen Jin shook his head, held the flower tea and drank it in a small sip, "You and Madam Zhao like to worry, so I won't be bullied. Besides, Prince Rui's Mansion is also my mother's home, and it's not from a dragon's and tiger's den."

Chu Xiuming narrowed his eyes and said, "Silly girl, I'm afraid you will be bullied."

"I won't." Chen Jin retorted, "I'm protecting me with my elder sister."

Chu Xiuming's eyes flashed, afraid he was still bullied, so he might as well come to protect him. However, seeing that Chen Jin didn't want to say anything, he stopped asking. After seeing that she used a few pieces, he moved the plate aside and said, "Go and have fun with Xiaobudian."

"Okay." Chen Jin also thought that before he saw Xiaobian today, he stood up with a smile and said, "I miss it too."

Who knew that before she went out, she saw Butler Zhao bring his apprentice over. Chen Jin smiled and said, "Butler Zhao, are you looking for a general?"

"No, I'm here to find my wife." Butler Zhao said with a serious look on his face.

Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming and looked at Butler Zhao again, and sat back in his seat, "Look for me?"

Butler Zhao took the account book from his apprentice, "Did the wife forget that there are still a few managers in the mansion?"

I really forgot, Chen Jin left the matter behind after finishing it, "Oh."

Butler Zhao didn't think about making things difficult for Chen Jin, so he presented the account book with both hands and said, "I have checked all the accounts again, and the inconsistencies..."

While listening, Chen Jin looked through the account book compiled by Butler Zhao, and looked at Chu Xiuming distractedly. When Butler Zhao stopped, he said, "Husband, go and do it first. I probably have to do it for a while."

Chu Xiuming nodded and said, "I'll go to the study."

Chen Jin responded and continued to reconcile according to what Mr. Zhao said. Madam Zhao frowned tightly while listening. An Ning didn't dare to sit anymore. She stood behind Chen Jin. Anping had already registered everything. When she came over to see such a situation, she stood silently.

Although Mama Zhao knew that the people in Yongning Bo Mansion in the capital were greedy for a lot of money, she didn't expect that she would be so much and she was a little too brave.

Chen Jin nodded from time to time, and when Butler Zhao finished speaking, Madam Zhao asked, "What are the plans of Madam?"

"What does the mama think?" Chen Jin asked.

Madam Zhao said in a deep voice, "Let them return the money and things. If the things are not returned, they will be discounted."

After the housekeeper Zhao finished speaking, he stood aside and stopped talking. Madam Zhao knew that there must be a spy in these managers and said, "I will send a few children of the manager to visit the mansion and notify my family that if the things are returned within three days, I can take them back to my family."

"What about those who haven't paid it back?" Chen Jin asked.

Madam Zhao said, "Search the house."

Chen Jin thought for a while and said, "It's a bit troublesome. There are only so many people in the mansion and there are not enough staff. He will send all the people and evidence to the government."

Madam Zhao was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Jin. Chen Jin felt that she had a good idea. "Tell the government how much things each manager has greedy, and just ask them to help recover them." Thinking of what Princess Rui said, if you want someone to do work, you must give them benefits. "I will take one tenth of them to get back, and treat it as a hard work fee."

Manager Zhao's eyes lit up and looked at Chen Jin. Chen Jin's method was simple and direct. Although Madam Zhao's method was appropriate, it would inevitably make the ignorant think that the mansion was too much. Chen Jin handed over all the matter, and the evidence was conclusive, so the government helped the people to help clean up those people without any effort.

These managers have taken money and things, but they don’t know how much they spent and how much they left. If they really want to make them pay back mercilessly, they are afraid that they will sell their property. This is something that Yongning Bo Mansion can do, but what will the people outside think? They don’t think that these people are greedy for the things from Yongning Bo Mansion, and it is natural for them to hand over it. They only think that Yongning Bo Mansion bullies others with their power, and people are more sympathetic to the weak. This evil man, Yongning Bo Mansion, is naturally unwilling to do it, but they feel disgusted if they don’t keep it.

Chen Jin handed over the matter to the government, and how to recover it is the government's business. There is no need to worry that the government will not work hard and the money will make people excited. This is a clear place. Even if the officials are not moved, can those minor officials and soldiers not be moved? They will naturally work hard to confiscate it. After all, the more they hand over, the more they will all be assigned. There are no fear that these people will hide secretly, because it is harmful to everyone's interests, so naturally there will be colleagues and others watching.

"Madam, good method." Manager Zhao sincerely exclaimed.

Chen Jin looked at Butler Zhao with some confusion, accepted the praise without hesitation and said, "It seems that Butler Zhao agrees with it, so let's do it like this."

"Yes." Butler Zhao said.

Madam Zhao also thought of this and sighed in her heart that she had been there for a long time. Some things were indeed not as straightforward as Chen Jin thought. After all, when the crisis began to occur, you had to think carefully about what you said, and you had to detour in whatever goal you wanted to achieve.

Manager Zhao asked, "Madam, can you tell me why you thought of sending it to the government?"

Chen Jin looked at Manager Zhao for no reason and said, "First of all, the mansion is not enough. According to Mama Zhao's method, at least seven or eight people have to be divided. If so many people are missing to serve, it will affect the normal life in the mansion. Secondly, the mother said that the things that are difficult to handle should be left to the government. As a princess, the government should also take care of."

Manager Zhao looked carefully for a long time and found that Chen Jin was serious. She really thought so! Manager Zhao only felt it was difficult to accept it. He thought so many reasons. As long as Chen Jin could say anything, Manager Zhao felt it was acceptable. However, Chen Jin was just because there were not enough people around him and was a princess who could bully others with her power, so he felt that he would leave the matter to the government to do it?

For some reason, Manager Zhao only thought of one sentence. Could it be that God loves a fool?
