Chapter 23

Chen Jin sat on the small wooden stool while sucking the air while trying to chew the meat in her mouth and swallowing it. A piece of greased paper was spread on the small table in front of her, with barbecue cut into pieces on it. Chen Jin was so spicy that she couldn't stand it anymore. Her eyes and nose were red. She complained to Chu Xiuming, "It's so spicy..." She originally thought she could eat chili, so when the barbecue asked her, she said she wanted spicy. She liked to eat chili very much and could put more chili!

"Spit it out." Chu Xiuming said helplessly, and reached out to her.

Chen Jin held the sign in one hand and covered her mouth with the other. Even she accelerated her speed. Chen Jin couldn't do such a thing as spitting out the things in her mouth outside, especially when she vomited it on Chu Xiuming's hands.

Chu Xiuming didn't force it, but poured a cup of herbal tea. Chen Jin just swallowed the meat and put it down, and then fed it to her mouth. Chen Jin quickly started drinking it in small sips. She felt that her mouth was burning, and the innermost was spicy and bitter. After drinking one cup, Chu Xiuming filled her again, and then put the cup in her hand and let Chen Jin drink it himself. He held Chen Jin and grabbed the other bamboo stick to collect it, and delivered it to him, lowered his head and ate the barbecue that Chen Jin had eaten.

The peppers that Chen Jin ate in the capital or in the General's Mansion were all taken out of seeds, so they were not too spicy. Not only that, the varieties of peppers and the places where they were planted were different. The peppers bought in the General's Mansion were mainly spicy as the main ones, while the peppers outside were really spicy. Chu Xiuming knew but Chen Jin didn't know, but why didn't he tell Chen Jin in advance... Looking at Chen Jin's white rabbit-like eyes, Chu Xiuming's eyes became softer, "Let me give you some more to bake for you."

"Yeah." Chen Jin drank two cups of tea, but still felt uncomfortable in his mouth, so he poured the third cup, "Please less." Because he developed the habit of not wasting things in the border town, unlike in the Ruiwang Mansion in the capital, he always had a lot of dishes to eat, but each dish wasted by moving at most a few chopsticks. "Husband, it's too spicy, I can't eat it."

Chu Xiuming stopped Chen Jin. He greeted the stall owner next to the barbecue and asked her to send her a large bowl of almond tea. It was a bowl of almond tea covered with black and white sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, hawthorn and other things. It was very beautiful. "Eat this." Chu Xiuming stirred the thing evenly and pushed it in front of Chen Jin. Chen Jin responded. The almond tea was a little hot. It felt even more uncomfortable when he took the first sip, but the taste was sour and sweet. After Chen Jin took a few sips, the spicy taste in his mouth decreased.

"It's delicious." Chen Jin smiled contentedly and continued to say softly, "Don't eat this pepper."

Chu Xiuming sighed helplessly, tied the barbecue with bamboo sticks and ate it with Chen Jin's dislike, and said, "There are some people who have a strong taste, so you can't get used to it."

"Then I'll ask you before I eat next time." Chen Jin said, both obedient and tragic.

Chu Xiuming nodded then, as if he had no choice but to agree because of Chen Jin's request.

The new barbecue has been delivered. Chen Jin ate it with a bamboo stick, looked at Chu Xiuming and asked, "Aren't you afraid of spicy food?"

Chu Xiuming glanced at the barbecue with peppers, then looked at the ones without peppers in front of Chen Jin. Finally, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Jin. Chen Jin quickly held a small half of the almond tea with his hands in flattering hands, "My husband is the best, drink some of this and it won't be spicy."

The two of them finished the barbecue and shared a bowl of almond tea before moving forward again. However, this time Chu Xiuming did not let Chen Jin sit on his shoulder anymore, but held her hand and took her to eat along the way. Because there were too many varieties, he bought a small portion of many things. Chu Xiuming didn't let Chen Jin eat more, and the rest went into Chu Xiuming's stomach. Even Chu Xiuming couldn't stand it after eating along the way, so he pulled Chen Jin, who was reluctant to leave, and walked towards dead things like the skin.

The market part of the food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing does not only refer to cloth and clothes, but everything that can be used. Chen Jin saw that not only sells skins, but also sells spices and even medicinal materials. The ginseng outside is not of good quality, seven liang ginseng and eight liang treasures, and the thickest outside is just the thumb. "I remember there was a ginseng of more than seven liang in my mother's dowry." Chen Jin whispered, "At that time, my elder brother was seriously ill, so my mother cut ginseng and made soup. The imperial physician said that if it weren't for that ginseng, my elder brother would probably not be able to save it."

Chen Jin's tone was very calm, but this memory was very deep. Because when the eldest brother was seriously ill, the entire Rui Prince's Mansion was uneasy. Even the meals that Concubine Chen and Shen Jin ate were perfunctory. This was the first time Chen Jin had a cold meal, but no one dared to make trouble. The eldest brother Chen Xuan was not only the legitimate son but also the eldest son, but the one that King Rui and Princess Rui valued the most. After recovering from the illness, King Rui invited the title of prince.

Chu Xiuming responded, "How come he is so sick?"

"I don't know." Chen Jin and Chu Xiuming were very close, and from time to time stopped him to the stall to see the little things. "I remember... I was carried back outside..." At that time, she was still young and didn't remember clearly. "I heard from my elder sister that I went out with a prince. I used most of the ginseng plant and then raised it for a long time. However, my elder brother's body was still a little weak. Every year when autumn and winter were alternating, my mother would be particularly worried."

Although they are all children of King Rui, Chen Jin does not enter the palace very much, and they rarely meet those princes and princesses. Chen Qi, Chen Xuan and Shen Xi often deal with those people. They will come to the palace to accompany the empress dowager every now and then talk to the queen. The queen will give you rewards every time you come back. Sometimes it is new jewelry from the palace, and sometimes it is pastry. "Every time the eldest sister comes back from the palace, she will divide the rewards from the palace, but she will be careful of her second sister the next day. She is jealous of the eldest sister but she dare not ask for her." After saying that, she wrinkled her nose, "It's very annoying."

Although Chen Jin didn't say it, Chu Xiuming heard it. He didn't dare to look for his elder sister, so how could he vent his anger? You can't use your biological sister to vent your anger. It's not that Chen Jin is the punching bag left. No wonder Chen Jin feels annoying. Listening to Chen Jin's words, Chu Xiuming felt a little distressed, "I won't do it anymore in the future."

However, this matter is hidden very deeply. Chen Xuan and the prince almost died when they came out. I am afraid that something will happen. If it is related to the prince, it will be even more interesting.

Chen Jin smiled with her eyes curled up, "I wouldn't foolishly let my second sister bully her. She was there. Later, when my elder sister got married, I was taken by the princess." Chen Jin never said that she had suffered too much and had a memory because she suffered too much. "And after the news of my husband spread, the palace rewarded a lot of things from time to time."
