General Zhenguo's old illness relapsed, so he stayed in the capital and took a casual post, preparing to spend his old age.

Zhou Xuanzhang had been staying in the capital for eight or nine months. At first he was afraid that the emperor would force him to leave the capital, so he went to the emperor for a few drinks and told him how wonderful his wife was and how hard it was to have twins. How distressed he was.

The emperor's teeth were sore after hearing this, and he was embarrassed to urge him to return to northern Xinjiang so quickly. However, in recent months, the Heiya Kingdom, which borders the Qi Kingdom, has repeatedly invaded, so Zhou Xuanzhang had to leave as soon as possible.

Jiang Qingxue couldn't help him pack his luggage, so Mrs. Shen and Nanny Qian took action and packed several large boxes for him personally. Mrs. Shen Er also moved a few more boxes, Hongzhi warned him over and over again.

"Xuanzhang, this is chilblain ointment. Your second uncle is older than you, Xuanzhang. You tell him that he spent a lot of money to buy this ointment. Don't lose it, and don't be so generous with it." Gave it as a gift..."

Mrs. Zhou raised her head and smiled.

"Look at you for being stingy. We at Xuanzhang have prepared a lot of them, so we won't covet his second uncle."

The two sisters laughed and joked a few more times, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Jiang Qingxue sat on the Arhat couch, with her big belly watching a few people chattering, with a faint smile on her face. Zhou Xuanzhang sat opposite her and looked at her quietly.

He looked at it for a long time and suddenly plucked up the courage to ask.

"Madam, do you have anything to give me?"

Jiang Qingxue's face was slightly red.

"Ah...then what do you want?"

She had actually prepared the things she wanted to give, but there were so many people now that it was inconvenient to take them out. Suddenly being stared at so directly by Zhou Xuanzhang made her feel a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xuanzhang's eyes fell on her waist.

"Just the green purse you always hang on your body, I think it's very good."

Several other people also turned around to see how exquisite the purse Zhou Xuanzhang was interested in. Jiang Qingxue generously placed it on the coffee table. It was just an ordinary purse, with the most ordinary fabric and color. , there is no decoration, and the corners of the watch are still somewhat worn.

Several people secretly thought that the ones worn by the servants in the mansion were newer than this one. Mrs. Zhou secretly made a note of it, thinking that she would send two new ones when she returned.

But Jiang Qingxue took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"I can't give this to you. Xingyu embroidered it for me. I'm very clumsy and can't embroider these things well. I'd better give you something else. You can come and get it later."

Zhou Xuanzhang smiled and touched his nose.

"Okay, then I'll wait."

He couldn't wait to see what Jiang Qingxue was going to give him. After Jiang Qingxue got married, she had never embroidered anything. Later, when she got pregnant, she was too lazy to move. She thought it would be something she wanted to give him. It's also old stuff.

Mrs. Tuesday looked curious.

"What kind of good thing is it that is still hidden?"

Mrs. Zhou patted her.

Ouch, why should we look at the things given by other young couples? Really. "

After hearing this, Zhou Xuanzhang's face suddenly turned red. Could it be that Jiang Qingxue wanted to give him something personal? Such as bellybands, this, this, this, if I miss her in the future, how can I have the nerve to take it out?

He stopped talking.

……

Mrs. Zhou and Aunt Qian packed up their things and left in a sensible manner, leaving space for the young couple. The nanny and maid serving in the room were also very sensible and left.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Xuanzhang took Jiang Qingxue's hand and smiled.

"Madam, give it to me quickly. I'll leave early tomorrow morning and I can't bear to come over and wake you up again. Just give it to me now."

Jiang Qingxue was too lazy to move, so she pointed to the big mahogany box in the corner.

"At the bottom of the box, there are three identical white porcelain bottles. Go get them yourself."

Zhou Xuanzhang fumbled in the box for a while and quickly brought it out.

"Madam, could it be that you also prepared chilblain cream for me?"

Jiang Qingxue took it over and opened the cork at the mouth of the bottle. A faint fragrance immediately floated out from the mouth of the bottle. Jiang Qingxue opened the remaining two bottles and poured one pill out of each. The fragrance became stronger and stronger.

Zhou Xuanzhang sniffed and looked at her with burning eyes.

"Madam, what kind of rare thing is this?"

Jiang Qingxue said with a smile while putting the medicine into the bottle.

"Husband, you are really discerning. You can tell at a glance that this is indeed a good thing. These three brown pills are elixirs for treating external injuries, and these three black pills are elixirs for treating internal injuries."

Zhou Xuanzhang didn't ask about the origin of these elixirs. He just pinched the white ones and sniffed them, then joked.

"What about this white one? Does it make people look handsome?"

Jiang Qingxue held her chin up and said in a faint tone.

"These two white pills are said to be elixirs that can bring people back to life. I don't know whether they have any effect."

After hearing this, Zhou Xuanzhang quickly and carefully put it back into the bottle.

"If the lady says it can be done, it will be done."

Not only did he get the elixir, he also pestered Jiang Qingxue for personal belongings. Jiang Qingxue had no choice but to find an unused handkerchief and use it to deal with him. Unexpectedly, he didn't want a new one and just stared at Jiang Qingxue. The smile in Qingxue's hand.

Jiang Qingxue threw it directly.

"I'm really impressed with you. Take it and put it away quickly. Don't let anyone see it."

Zhou Xuanzhang carefully put her in his arms and kissed her cheek across the Arhat couch.

"I will definitely keep it well. If I lose it, you can punish me however you want."

At night, after Jiang Qingxue fell asleep, Zhou Xuanzhang was still reluctant to leave. He lay naked next to Jiang Qingxue and talked to her for half the night. Jiang Qingxue was so sleepy that her eyelids trembled and she finally couldn't help but fall asleep. .

Zhou Xuanzhang kissed her temples and said helplessly.

"You little heartless kid fell asleep right now."

It wasn't until it got slightly brighter that he quietly left.

……

When Jiang Qingxue woke up, Zhou Xuanzhang had already left. Everyone in the Zhou family went to see him off until he was sent to a pavilion ten miles outside the city. After he was gone and no one could see his shadow, he returned to the city in a carriage.

Jiang Qingxue stretched out and yawned.

"It's so quiet today. No one is urging me to get up. It's great..."

Xingyu looked outside and reminded her in a low voice.

"Miss, the second master left before dawn today, aren't you sad? Both the eldest lady and the old lady's eyes were red from crying, and the eldest lady cried especially miserably."

Jiang Qingxue supported the bed and sighed.

"I can't cry like them. I'm still pregnant with the baby. I'll go find him after I give birth. What's so sad about it?"

Xingyu thought she was talking nonsense and whispered advice.

"Wash up quickly, Grandma Qian is coming soon."
