Chapter 032
Nanny Zhao didn't know about this. She just felt sorry for Shen Jin. Having taken care of Shen Jin for so long, it was inevitable that she had some feelings of marrying off her daughter, so she prepared a few more things.
Chu Xiuming carried Shen Jin in his arms all the way on horseback back to the general's mansion. Shen Jin's veil was handed to the matchmaker behind him. Shen Jin hid in Chu Xiuming's arms at first, but soon she couldn't help but stick her head out to look.
At the beginning, she was a little shy and would hide back in Chu Xiuming's arms after taking a look. Gradually, she looked once, then twice, then three times, and finally she leaned on Chu Xiuming's arms and no longer hid. Sometimes she would stretch out her white and tender little hands to say hello to the people she knew below.
Shen Jin knew quite a few people. Those who were greeted were delighted, and the people around him were a little jealous. They also wanted the lady to be greeted. Everyone spontaneously followed Chu Xiuming's horse and walked slowly towards the general's mansion.
"Hey, I noticed that the people the lady greeted seemed to be selling food?" someone said uncertainly.
The people around him said, "How is that possible?"
"Look, that guy the lady just waved to is Old Qiao, who sells sesame cakes. His sesame cakes taste really good. The one above him is selling braised beef. It is said that the soup is handed down from his family. The meat is tender and fragrant. The one above him is selling wontons at the street corner..."
"Madam is a married woman from the capital, she has eaten all kinds of delicious food, it's probably just a coincidence." Another person said, "Madam is a princess, the emperor's niece."
"That's right." The man who was talking about food was convinced, "This is such a coincidence."
When they arrived at the general's mansion, firecrackers started to go off. Chu Xiuming carried Shen Jin off the horse. The saddle, brazier and other things were already prepared. Shen Jin stepped over carefully. Chu Xiuming was supposed to lead Shen Jin to the wedding hall, but Chu Xiuming just picked up Shen Jin and walked inside.
The people from the border towns who followed were naturally received by the servants in the mansion.
Shen Jin put her arm around Chu Xiuming's neck and looked at Chu Xiuyuan, Aunt Zhao, Anping, Steward Wang... and some people she knew and didn't know... They all had smiles on their faces, and she suddenly said, "Me too."
"Hmm?" Chu Xiuming lowered his head and looked at Shen Jin. As smart as he was, he didn't understand what Shen Jin meant for a moment.
Shen Jin put his face on Chu Xiuming's chest and stopped talking, and Chu Xiuming didn't ask any more questions.
The wedding hall was beautifully decorated. The two of them worshipped heaven and earth. The Chu family no longer had any elders, and after asking Shen Jin, they knew that she had no superstition, so the spirit tablets of Chu Xiuming's parents appeared in the hall.
Perhaps in the entire Tianqi Dynasty, Shen Jin was the first bride to worship heaven and earth without covering her head with a veil, and she was also the first one to be taken out to meet people by the groom after worshipping heaven and earth.
The people Chu Xiuming took Shen Jin to meet were not outsiders, but brothers who had fought together on the battlefield. Although he was a general, he was just one person, and there were many other military officers under him.
Some of them were already stationed in other places, and only had gifts sent over.
When these people saw Chu Xiuming bringing Shen Jin out, some of them thought that Chu Xiuming attached great importance to them and were afraid that their rough figures would scare the delicate general's wife. Those who thought more deeply knew that the general attached great importance to his wife and was trying to recognize her.
As expected, Chu Xiuming introduced Shen Jin one by one. At first, those people who were worried about Shen Jin were shocked. But then they saw Shen Jin, who looked particularly petite standing in front of them, holding a glass and toasting them one by one. She didn't show any fear at all and behaved in a very calm and generous manner. She also advised them to drink more and eat more, which made many people feel relaxed. Their voices also returned to normal, instead of deliberately lowering their voices for fear that Shen Jin would be scared and cry, which would make everyone look embarrassed.
Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming with a smug expression on his face. In fact, Chu Xiuming had long expected that Shen Jin would not be afraid. If he was afraid, he would have been scared at the trade fair. There were not only strong men there, but also people with unusual eye and hair colors.
Chu Xiuming discovered that his wife was actually a bit bold and foolish, but sometimes she would be so scared when she heard the slightest noise that she would shrink her head and didn't know what to say.
The wine given to Shen Jin was the softest sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and the toasts were made from exquisite white jade cups. The cups were small and beautiful, and An Ping only filled them half full for her each time, just a little bit. But after drinking a round, Shen Jin's cheeks turned red, her eyes were watery and bright, and she would stare at Chu Xiuming in a daze from time to time.
Shen Jin's skin was white without a single blemish, just like the finest jade, which would leave purple bruises even with the slightest effort. It was delicate and tender. Although she did not have the aura of Shen Qi or the beauty of Shen Zi in the Rui Palace, even the Rui Princess had praised Shen Jin's fair skin. She even asked a nanny to take care of her skin. Her daily habit of drinking milk and goat's milk was a habit she developed at that time.
"Husband..." The drunk Shen Jin especially liked to act like a spoiled child. Chu Xiuming held her in his arms and she cried out in a tender voice, "I'm hungry."
The generals who had been at the border for a long time and were used to seeing those brave and fiery women were all moved when they saw Shen Jin's appearance. They always felt that she was very different. They looked at Shen Jin more unconsciously. Chu Xiuming naturally noticed it, and as a man he understood men's thoughts better. He reached out and pressed Shen Jin into his arms, glanced at those who were both brothers and subordinates, then asked someone to pour three bowls of wine, drank them all, and then left with Shen Jin in his arms.
"Hahahaha, look how anxious the general is."
"Of course I am anxious. If you marry a wife like this, you will be more anxious than the general."
"Major General, come and have a drink with us."
"Hahaha, Major General won't understand. Come and have a drink."
When everyone saw Chu Xiuyuan, they all greeted him. Chu Xiuyuan showed a smile similar to Chu Xiuming's and said, "My brother specially asked me to come and drink with you all. But since you said you don't understand, I will ask my brother tomorrow. I think he will understand."
The wailing and begging for mercy merged into one, and soon turned into the sounds of finger-guessing games and laughter.
Chu Xiuming looked very calm, with an unconcealable joy in his eyes, and even his steps were much faster than usual. Madam Zhao and the others were already waiting in the bridal chamber, but they did not expect Chu Xiuming to come back so soon, and to bring Shen Jin back directly. They asked with some concern, "Is Madam not feeling well?"
In fact, Nanny Zhao did not agree to let Shen Jin meet those military generals so soon. Those generals did not have any bad intentions, but they looked rough. The lady was very delicate, what if they were frightened? However, she would not object to Chu Xiuming's decision.
Hearing Madam Zhao's voice, Shen Jin struggled to get her head out of Chu Xiuming's arms and said coquettishly, "Madam, I want to eat lily, white fungus and lotus seed porridge."
Shen Jin's voice is naturally soft, and it has an even more sticky feeling when she is acting coquettishly. The ending tone is slightly drawn out, which makes her particularly cute.
Seeing that Shen Jin was fine, Nanny Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam, you can eat after you finish drinking the wedding wine."
"Oh." Shen Jin's reaction was a little slow. After thinking for a while, he said, "My husband, have a drink... and then eat."
Chu Xiuming put Shen Jin down and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay." Then he led Shen Jin to sit in the wedding chair.
Red dates, peanuts, longans and lotus seeds were sprinkled on it. There happened to be a longan where Shen Jin was sitting. "Huh." Shen Jin fumbled for a long time in confusion and took out the longan. She was drunk but still recognized the things, so she wanted to peel the longan and eat it.
Aunt Zhao, who came over with a wine glass, quickly took the longan down and said, "Madam, there will be delicious food later."
Shen Jin responded with a somewhat aggrieved tone. Chu Xiuming took the wine glass and placed it in Shen Jin's hand, then picked up a glass himself. Shen Jin blinked, looked at Chu Xiuming's face, then smiled sweetly and said, "Husband."
Chu Xiuming responded and looked at Aunt Zhao and said, "Take them out."
Nanny Zhao was stunned for a moment before she said, "Yes." Then she took all the servants in the room out.
When the door was closed, Chu Xiuming said, "Be good, come and have a drink."
"Oh." Shen Jin thought for a moment and smiled, "I know how. Nanny taught me." Then she took the initiative to drink the wedding wine with Chu Xiuming and looked at Chu Xiuming with expectation. It turned out that after Nanny Zhao taught her something, she would bring all kinds of cakes when she saw that she had learned well.
Chu Xiuming was not Aunt Zhao, and did not know Aunt Zhao's habits. She just looked at Shen Jin looking at her expectantly, and felt her throat dry. She took the cup from Shen Jin's hand and put it aside, then closed the door from the inside. Then she came back and saw Shen Jin sitting in the bedroom, fiddling with her clothes a little uncomfortably. She asked, "What's wrong?"
"The clothes are a little tight." Shen Jin complained aggrievedly, "Mammy said it wasn't tight." She had drunk too much and her whole body was hot. Her chest, which was already a little tight, felt uncomfortable.
Chu Xiuming looked from the bulging chest to the tightly bound waist below, walked over and held Shen Jin's hands with both hands, and asked gently, "Where is it tight?"
The drunk Shen Jinke didn't know how to be shy anymore, and said, "Here on the chest."
"Then let me rub it for you?" Chu Xiuming's eyes fell on the tight spots that Shen Jin mentioned. Against the backdrop of Yuehuajin, those two places were particularly tempting.
Shen Jin thought about it for a while, but before she could react, Chu Xiuming had already carried Shen Jin to the bed and started rubbing there. The Yuehua Brocade was not only beautiful in color, but also very soft, but what was even softer was the thing underneath. Shen Jin took a small breath, twisted her body and said, "It's so weird, well, don't..."
"Be good, I'll untie it for you and it won't be tight anymore."
"It hurts..." Shen Jin twisted even more violently and started crying, "It hurts so much..."
Before Chu Xiuming could move, he saw Shen Jin started crying, and while crying he touched a date from his **. Shen Jin wanted to throw away the thing that hurt her, but she found it was food. She sniffed and stopped crying. She ate the red date and threw the pit on the ground. When she wanted to look for it again, Chu Xiuming, who could no longer bear it, picked her up and hit her on the butt three times. He didn't use much force, but Shen Jin felt wronged.
After getting off the bed, Chu Xiuming lifted the bed's quilt with one hand, shook all the scattered things inside onto the ground, then threw them back on the bed, and then put Shen Jin on the bed. Shen Jin had just finished eating red dates, and his mouth was filled with the sweetness of dates and the aroma of wine.
“Ah…it hurts…wuwu…”
"Good boy, it won't hurt soon."
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Jin's voice of begging for mercy could be heard again, soft and without any deterrent power. "No, my waist hurts. I won't do it anymore... Don't bite me... I'm hungry..."
"That will feed you."
“Wuwuwu…”
The author has something to say: I suddenly feel that I am quite evil. I hope the post won’t be blocked. I am a little worried.
Aunt Zhao: What should we do with this lily, white fungus and lotus seed porridge? Forget it, Madam doesn't have the energy to eat it, just eat it yourself.
