Ma'am, is there someone out there?
Chapter 74
Shen Qing originally planned to live in an inn if the mansion was not cleaned well, but Zheng Guogong's mansion knew that Lu Chen was coming back, so he asked Zheng Junrui to lead people to renovate Huan Guogong's mansion, which had been unoccupied for many years, and waited for them to come .
It was a good thing to sit down and have a good dinner at this time after traveling around for several days.
But Shen Qing probably isn't very beautiful right now.This cousin of Lu Chen was simply too annoying, if it wasn't for the smiling face of Zheng Junrui and Lu Chen's nonchalant appearance, Shen Qing really thought how harmonious Lu Chen and this cousin got along when they were young.
Lu Chen left the capital for Qingzhou when he was seven years old. Even if he still had time to visit relatives, it would be difficult for Lu Chen to get acquainted with him given his personality.But just looking at this scene, that kid is simply too attentive.The good-tempered Shen Qing watched coldly, staring at Zheng Junrui covetously.
Shen Qing was sitting on the left side of Lu Chen, the cousin snatched the seat on Lu Chen's right side in the name of reminiscing about the past, and Xiao Bao was pushed to the other side of Shen Qing.Xiao Bao, who was sitting on the side without a father, imitated Shen Qing, who drank alcohol, and also drank soup.Well, the soup cooked by sister Baizhu is also delicious.
"Cousin, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables! This crispy duck is a specialty here, and there is no such taste in the south." The cousin served the dishes attentively, and acted as if he was entertaining guests. Zheng Junrui raised his head when he finished picking the dishes. Seeing Shen Qing's cold gaze, "Sister-in-law, you can eat too, you're welcome!"
"Hehe, you won't be polite." Shen Qing smiled on the surface.
Zheng Junrui, who was treated coldly, turned his head and looked at Lu Chen aggrievedly, and then became even more aggrieved.He watched Lu Chen put the duck leg he picked up into another bowl, how disgusted he was!
Lu Chen didn't notice it, and lowered his head to eat.This cousin is a bit noisy, but Zheng Guogong's family and Huan Guogong's family are close friends, Madam Hou also takes care of him a lot, Lu Chen looks cold but knows kindness in his heart, so let's make a little noise.
Shen Qing covered his mouth with a grin, added fuel to the fire, tore off the chicken legs from the fat chicken, put them into Lu Chen's bowl, and said in a pretentious tone: "Husband, come and eat the chicken legs!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen raised his head and looked back at Shen Qing, what is he making a fuss about, what is he talking about with a well-mannered voice.Lu Chen thought about it, Shen Qing still gave him face, he lowered his head and gnawed on Shen Qing's chicken leg.Well, chicken legs are still delicious.
Shen Qing smiled provocatively at Zheng Junrui in satisfaction.Look, he likes me best.
Zheng Junrui was so angry that he gnawed on the duck's neck as if venting his anger.He murmured in his heart, why did his cousin change like this.This bookworm Shen Qing, who was just pedantic in the past, has learned to flatter now, why does my cousin like this kind of man who is pretentious and flattering?Cousin is a majestic general, he can be admired!
This Zheng Junrui admired Lu Chen, who was excellent in martial arts during the [-]th expedition, and also clamored to go to the barracks.How could Duke Zheng's mansion let him go? Just because of his bluffing temper, did he think he was as calm and skilled as Lu Chen?As for his young master who is hanging on his ears, he will not be treated like a chicken by a group of strong men when he enters the military camp.
But if the son wants to make a fuss, Zheng Guogong can't really stop him from tempering. After all, the son has to practice and practice when he grows up. Otherwise, after the death of the old man for a hundred years, the son of such a huge family will not be able to withstand it.
Wanting to train his son, but also not wanting to leave him too far away from home, Zheng Guogong put Zheng Junrui into the Imperial Forest Army. Now that he has advanced qualifications, he is also a left commander, and he is also very famous in this capital.
Of course, when I met Lu Chen, I fell in love instantly!
Zheng Junrui, who admired Lu Chen so much, saw that the classmate he hated back then married Lu Chen, and let Lu Chen die.Zheng Junrui looked at Shen Qing several times, and had to admit that Shen Qing was much more handsome than before.A few years ago, that was a lifeless nerd, and of course, it's not much better now.The nerd has turned into a goblin, and he seems to be fascinated by his cousin.
"Father, I want to eat that." Xiaobao moved his cheeks, rice was still sticking to the corner of his mouth, and he pointed to the table with his fleshy little finger, which was out of his reach.
Shen Qing wiped off the rice grains on Xiao Bao's face, and said to Xiao Bao: "You can't talk while you are still eating in your mouth, be careful of choking."
Xiao Bao chewed it a few times and swallowed it, nodded, and said it again: "Got it. Dad, I want to eat that meatball."
Shen Qing just picked up a meatball, but put it in his own bowl first, and only took half of it and put it in Xiaobao's bowl.
"Xiaobao, you ate too much meat today." Shen Qing said seriously.He is very strict with Xiaobao's daily diet, picky eaters are absolutely forbidden.
He rolled up Xiaobao's sleeves, and gently squeezed the flesh on Xiaobao's wrist. The meaning was very clear, look at you, you are about to become fat and chubby.Then he picked up the white radish and put it in the little treasure bowl, "Eat more radishes."
Xiaobao doesn't like to eat radishes, but he is obedient, and if he doesn't like them, he eats them one bite at a time. Even when he gnaws, his eyebrows wrinkle into caterpillars.
Zheng Junrui stared at the whole process, and added another description to Shen Qing in his heart - vicious stepmother.Look at how badly he treats his cousin's children. He can only eat half a mouthful of meat.And...and... Zheng Junrui looked around, no matter whether it was eating at the table or serving at the side, no one objected, it must, it must be because this vicious cousin took control of the entire general's mansion.
As for why Zheng Junrui concluded that Shen Qing was the stepmother?That's unclear, the son belongs to his cousin, so Shen Qing is not a stepmother, could it be that he is still his own father?How could this guy with no breasts and butt be born!Zheng Junrui firmly believes that Shen Qing not only flattered his cousin with sex, but also cruelly abused his nephew.
Too cruel!
Filled with righteous indignation, Zheng Junrui slapped the table, and the other three people on the table stared at him.Xiaobao frowned and looked at this weird little cousin with a carrot in his mouth, while Lu Chen stared at him for three seconds with the last chicken bone in his mouth, completely bewildered.
Only Shen Qing showed a smile.Why is this kid so stupid?
Zheng Junrui's anger that was puffing up just now was completely vented, and he sat down awkwardly.
"Eat and eat."
Zheng Junrui clipped chicken wings for Xiaobao, poor little one, cousin doesn't care about you, little cousin cares about you.
Xiaobao shook his head, he couldn't eat it, he would really get fat into a ball if he ate any more, and Xiaobao, who compared his arms and legs in the bath, firmly refused.
Zheng Junrui glanced at Shen Qing: "Little treasure, my uncle will support you, don't be afraid!" Poor little treasure, what has become of being abused by his stepmother!
Xiao Bao blinked, not understanding why he was afraid.The son who was refused to take food again was heartbroken.
It was still Shen Qing who couldn't bear to see this stupid cousin, and opened his mouth to make a rescue.
"Little Treasure will need to drink milk later. I have to eat too much at night, so I have to support myself. We have lived in the south for a long time, and when we first came to the capital, we don't know a lot about the capital. Why don't your son tell us about it."
When it came to business, Zheng Junrui restrained himself a little.
"I'm quite familiar with the capital city. I don't know what my cousin wants to know. Even if you say it, you must know everything."
"Hehe, then I'll ask." Shen Qing chuckled, "I don't know if your son knows this auspicious thing?"
"Is it about auspiciousness?" Zheng Junrui was entangled, he just boasted that he knew everything, why did he talk about this matter, now Lu Chen didn't eat anymore, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and waited for his next sentence.
Zheng Junrui said with a bitter face: "I don't know about this either. It is said that the emperor found the auspicious baby when he was hunting in the Hanye Mountain hunting ground. Unfortunately, I was on vacation that day and didn't accompany me. The commander told me later. But after a few days On the celebration of the emperor's birthday, auspiciousness will be used to worship the sky."
"Is that so." Lu Chen pondered, through the mask, Zheng Junrui couldn't tell the tone of Lu Chen's words, and felt uneasy, thinking that Lu Chen was dissatisfied.
Cousin swore: "Cousin, if you ask something else, this time, I will definitely know!"
Shen Qing secretly laughed again, this silly cousin.Xiaobao on the side saw his father sniggering, and tugged at Shen Qing's clothes.Shen Qing rubbed Xiaobao's little paws, thinking that Xiaobao had grown up, so don't be so stupid.
Lu Chen thought for a while, thinking of what he and Shen Qing saw in Buzhuang during the day.
"Is there something about the draft recently?"
Zheng Junrui smiled this time, he knew about it.He has a good brother in the Yulin Army, and he has been engaged to his childhood sweetheart these days!
But Zheng Junrui smiled back, but he was quite vigilant, talking about the royal affairs, it could be big or small.Seeing his expression, Shen Qing waved his hand and told the servants who were waiting on him to go down.
"That's right. It's not that the emperor has no heirs yet, and the ministers are anxious. But these people dare not bring this matter up before. Everyone knows the emperor's violent temper. Some people thought that the palace hadn't picked a show for several years. Girl, this is what happened."
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows, it was really interesting: "Oh?"
Zheng Junrui took a sip of wine: "It's not that you don't know that the emperor just dotes on Concubine Rong and neglects everyone else in the palace. Even the empress seems to have followed the cold palace, and now she is also cold-hearted. Accompany the queen mother to eat fast and worship Buddha, after that, the emperor will intensify."
"But if it's a pet, it's fine. The key is that I have been a pet for several years, and I haven't seen Concubine Rong conceived a dragon child. It's fine to be a little princess. The first emperor's heirs withered, and there are only two sons and one daughter. Going forward, Taizu only had three sons, and now only the old Liang King is left alive, it seems that the heirs in this palace have always been difficult."
Speaking of heirs, Lu Chenchui moved his hand under the table, and quietly held it with Shen Qing.
"Anyway, there is not even a single princess in the palace now, and these ministers are dying of anxiety. They thought that if they choose more beautiful women to enter the palace, if one of them impresses the emperor and divides Rong Guifei's favor, there may be dragons. Are you ready?" After Zheng Junrui finished speaking, he picked up the peanuts, very leisurely.He was not as loyal as these old ministers, and he couldn't figure out why they were all more anxious than not having a son.In his opinion, this rush to draft girls is not of much use.
"Hehe." Shen Qing laughed, "I think these people are looking in the wrong direction."
Zheng Junrui looked up at Shen Qing: "What's the best idea?" What's the best idea for this nerd who confused his cousin?
"Whether you can give birth or not is not necessarily the problem of the imperial concubine. If the emperor does not give birth, there is nothing the imperial concubine can do."
"You mean..." Zheng Junrui covered his mouth, but no one dared to say that there was something wrong with the emperor.
"I didn't say anything, don't think about it."
After finishing speaking, Shen Qing smiled slightly at Lu Chen, "Husband, do you think what he said is right?"
Lu Chen: "..."
Zheng Junrui's face darkened, hey, he really believed the words of this sissy bookworm, yes, he just used some shameless tricks to confuse his cousin!
Little fox!
It was a good thing to sit down and have a good dinner at this time after traveling around for several days.
