Chapter 8

As the daughter of King Rui, Chen Zi, who married as a princess, should have attracted a lot of envy, but sometimes envy is relative. Chen Jin, who was married with a princess ceremonial guard, was the focus of everyone's attention. Although there are many rumors about Yongning Bo, it is mysterious enough. Part of Chen Jin's dowry was sent to the Earl's Mansion, and part of it was sent to the border with Chen Jin.

After Chen Jin was sitting in the sedan chair left the city gate, it changed to a carriage, then a waterway, and then a carriage. He walked on the road for almost three months before he arrived at the border.

In addition to not being able to walk around at will, Chen Jin's life is not difficult. She can calm down and read some books when she is in the car.

Because considering the time spent on the road, Chen Jin's wedding quilt was very considerately prepared two sets, one was worn in the capital, and the other was much thicker in the border. This was not unnecessary. They did not go directly to the border, but were waiting for Yongning Bo's people to pick them up in a town closest to the closest.

Early in the morning, Chen Jin was called up by her mom, changed into the cotton-filled wedding dress, and then sat quietly in the inn waiting for Yongning Bolai to marry him.

There are many rumors about Yongning Bo. Eating raw human flesh is no longer new. Chen Jin also started thinking about what kind of person Yongning Bo would be, what kind of life she would live after getting married, what if Yongning Bo has a bad temper, what should she do? Yongning Bo is too scary to eat raw meat, should she accompany her to eat? But after imagining the raw meat, Chen Jin gave up this idea, and she felt that she could watch Yongning Bo eat.

Although I thought a lot, Chen Jin never thought that she could not see Uncle Yongning at all!

Not only did Yongning Bo not come to pick up the bride, he was not even in the border town. Because he led his troops to raid the barbarians, the one who came to pick up Chen Jin was Yongning Bo's younger brother, Chu Xiuyuan, who was less than ten years old.

Moreover, Chu Xiuyuan had already received the instructions of his brother Chu Xiuming, and brought the personal soldiers from the mansion to carry away the bride and dowry, but none of the dowry people were brought into the border town.

Before Shen Jin got married, there were two masters in the mansion. After Chen Jin got married, the mansion was still the two masters. Chen Jin was not recognized by Chu Xiuming for a day, and the servants in the mansion would not recognize her for a day.

It’s not that these people neglected Chen Jin, but it was a feeling of incompatibleness. The mansions in the border town were naturally not as luxurious as those in the capital, but the area was large. Chen Jin lived in the main courtyard of the mansion. After asking Chen Jin for his opinion, the dowry was properly placed.

The mansion also arranged people to serve Chen Jin. Unlike the people in the capital, both men and women here are very tall, and they don’t talk much and move very quickly. Only when Shen Jin takes the initiative to ask her will she answer her questions.

In the Rui Prince's Mansion, although the maids serving Chen Jin were not covered in silk and satin, they were not much worse. However, Chen Jin found that the people here rarely wore very long skirts, their clothes were more cloth, and they did not have much jewelry on them.

The strange environment and no familiar person around Chen Jin was at a loss. The most obvious manifestation was that Chen Jin lost weight at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.

Now the one who serves by Shen Jin is called Xile and the other who is called Anping, and the dowry maid brought by Chen Jin has long been on the way back to the capital.

Chen Jin is not a person who is irresponsible. Instead, she is not favored by Prince Rui's mansion, which makes her more sensible. This is thanks to her who got married. If it were Chen Zi, she would have had a long time ago.

Xile, Anping and Shen Jin had no grudges. Seeing Chen Jin's depressed appearance every day, he felt unbearable. After Xile and Anping greeted him, they came to the mansion to find General Manager Wang and asked directly, "Mr. Wang, isn't this good for the wife?" General Manager Wang is not only the manager of the mansion, but also Chu Xiuming's military advisor. Because there is no housekeeper in the mansion, he stayed to help Yongning Bo take care of the internal affairs.

"Are we short of clothes or wear less?" asked General Manager Wang. He actually did not agree with Chu Xiuming marrying a delicate wife, because sometimes when there was war, women also had to go to the battlefield. Mrs. Yongning Bo is not just a title, but a person who can stand up when Yongning Bo is away. "Because the wife is afraid of the cold, the mansion also purchased carbon to keep the wife warm."

Xile was just a maid, and she couldn't say anything about General Wang. He heard this and said, "It's not that the wife insisted on marrying the general." She was specially selected among the people in the border town to serve Chen Jin. In their eyes, Chu Xiuming was the general who led them to win battles, not a count.

Even the sign hanging outside Chu Xiuming's mansion in the border city is the General's Mansion, not the Earl's Mansion.

Even though he said so, Xile didn't say anything else. After all, in their eyes, the most important thing was the two brothers Chu Xiuming.

In fact, Chen Jin is thin purely because she is not used to it. Whether it is food or weather, it makes her feel uncomfortable. Although Chen Jin cried secretly because she missed her mother, she was not a weak person.

When he first arrived here, Chen Jin did not dare to walk around or ask for it. It was really the rumors about Yongning Bo were too terrible. However, after staying here for more than a month, Chen Jin suddenly felt that it was not as terrible as he thought. It was like a small animal who had reached a strange environment. At the beginning, he always carefully observed the surrounding environment. A little movement could scare it back into his shell.

But gradually, when it realized that it was safe, it would slowly stretch out its claws and then test it out for a little.

Chen Jin was exactly like this. After eating a meal that was listed and not suitable for more than a month, Chen Jin suddenly asked, "Xiele, what do you usually eat?"

Xile didn't expect Chen Jin would chat with her on his own initiative. Hearing this, he said, "We are not used to eating rice, but we prefer pasta."

"Oh?" After Chen Jin lost weight, her eyes became bigger and moist. When she looked at you, she looked like a little squirrel begging for food.

Xile and Anping themselves were soft-hearted towards Chen Jin, but Chen Jin was always unspirited some time ago, so they wouldn't say much. Besides, no matter men and women in the border town, they were generous, Xile poured a glass of water for Chen Jin and said with a smile, "I love noodles, Anping loves to eat sesame cakes and meat."

"Is it delicious?" Chen Jin looked at Xile with anticipation.

Xile said, "I think it's good. The noodles are very strong. I use sheep bones to make the soup base, add slices of meat and some spicy food. It's not only delicious but also easy to eat."

"Actually, I think beef noodles are better." Anping put the quilt off back and said, "Especially using roasted beef and then eating a roasted browned sesame cake, it's very delicious."

"Really?" Chen Jin was even more looking forward to it, "Is it really that delicious?"

"Yes." Anping smiled, "especially the old man Qiao's house in the west city, it tastes great."

Chen Jin didn't say anything, but just looked at them with moist eyes, "It seems delicious."

Even though Xile and Anping were slow, they could see Chen Jin's meaning. The two looked at each other and Xile said, "But the taste is a bit heavy. Madam, you shouldn't be used to it."

Chen Jin's eyes suddenly showed a look of disappointment, "Can I really not be able to eat it?"

"Okay, I'll ask my brother to go out and buy a few. If the lady doesn't like to eat, then we'll eat them." Anping looked at Chen Jin's appearance and immediately said softly.

Chen Jin showed a look of surprise on his face, and then kept urging Anping with his eyes, and asked, "How much does it cost? Will so much meat be expensive?"

"Not expensive," Xile said with a smile, "the meat here is much cheaper than the vegetables and fruits."

Chen Jin insisted on paying the money to Anping and said, "Don't let someone know."

"Why?" asked Xile, "Mrs. You can go to Gongzhong if you want something."

Chen Jin blushed, and his fingers clenched on his skirt and said, "No, outsiders know that I am so greedy and will laugh at me."

Xile and Anping couldn't help laughing, and they got closer to Chen Jin in their hearts. They didn't notice the trap in Chen Jin's words at all. They circled Xile and Anping for their own people in one sentence. During this period, Chen Jin had been secretly observing the personalities of these two close maids and found that they were not like those people in the capital who were twisting in their hearts. It was impossible to buy them. The kindness and power that my mother said was not suitable for use in this environment.

So Chen Jin changed his method. She didn't know when Yongning Bo would come back, but she hoped that Yongning Bo would come back later, so that she would have time to open up the situation in the mansion first, and would not ask them to respect and be more obedient, at least to win the favor of these people.

What princess and what title is the Countess is not easy to use in front of these people. It was discovered by driving away the dowry without mercy. It was different from the folk customs in the capital. It was useless to suppress people with identity. Moreover, she was isolated and helpless in such a place. If Chen Jin dared not know the truth, maybe she would die of illness shortly afterwards because she was not accustomed to the environment...

Will the Supreme Lord and King Rui turn against her and Yongning Bo? It’s impossible to think about it. Besides, she is not in good health because she is not in a state of affairs and death from illness. What does it have to do with Yongning Bo?

I'm afraid that only my mother will be sad at that time.

However, Chen Jin found that the meat mixed with the sesame cake recommended by Anping was surprisingly delicious. The crispy and tender sesame cakes contained secret braised pork inside, which was as big as Chen Jin. She ate one and a half. In fact, she thought she could still eat the remaining half. Maybe because of this appetite, Anping and Xile. The two of them stopped Chen Jin and promised to buy it for her tomorrow. Chen Jin reluctantly gave up the decision to eat the remaining half.

It was just because Chen Jin couldn't control it for a while. During the evening meal, the food specially made for her was not moved, and Anping and Xile were eaten. She touched her stomach that was a little overcrowded and went around the room to digest food.
