The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

The evening wind was blowing on her smooth arms and it was chilly. Shen Zhaoxue sat alone in the bathtub for a long time. Thinking of the scene just now, she still felt her face burning, and a faint smile crawled onto her cheeks unconsciously.

Getting up to dry off and changing into clean and refreshing clothes, Shen Zhaoxue took off her headband and let her waterfall-like hair hang down to her waist. She reached out and picked up the red comb in front of the bronze mirror, which she brought over on her wedding day. One of the dowries, it should be the first time for the husband to comb his hair, and it will have a good meaning of getting married.

Sima Yun chased the mysterious man almost out of the city, but the other party seemed to be very familiar with the terrain and escaped without a trace. He was worried that it was a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Sima Yun did not dare to stay outside for too long. When he came back, the main house was gone. Bright, hesitantly, he still felt a little uneasy.

Sima Yun hesitated for a long time, but finally pushed the door open and walked in. Her movements were very light, and she hardly disturbed Shen Zhaoxue who was already asleep. The moonlight shone in from the side of the window, allowing her to see her face clearly.

The long eyelashes on the small and delicate face are slightly curled up, very cute, and the sleeping face is quiet and beautiful, so she couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, until Sima Yun stopped when she stretched out her hand a centimeter away. Yes, I took it back immediately.

That night, the female general in a smart attire and with a high bun leaned on the head of the bed with a saber in her arms and fell asleep lightly, while the beautiful girl lying on the side of the bed had a gentle sleeping face and a faint smile on her face, as if she was doing something. What a wonderful dream.

The next morning.

Shen Zhaoxue slept until she woke up naturally. It was just dawn and there was still some hazy mist. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. When she looked down and saw a small stool by the bed, she felt strange, and the door was pushed open. .

"Miss!" It was Rachel who came in with the wash water, "Miss, you're awake!"

"Yeah." Shen Zhaoxue smiled lightly and was about to get out of bed.

Rachel walked over while yawning after putting away the water, "Miss, did you sleep well last night, I don't think I got enough sleep."

Of course you slept well, you didn't notice someone broke in last night.

But Shen Zhaoxue didn't say that, she just smiled and said, Rachel is timid and nervous, telling her will make her worry again.

"Where's the general?" Shen Zhaoxue asked suddenly after washing her face.

"General, I went out early in the morning." Rachel curled her lips as she spoke, "Anyway, the house is a place for her to sleep and check in, and she spends the most time with those soldiers on the training ground every day. .”

"Rachel, you can't say that. The general led the troops to fight and defend the territory. He is a hero of our country. It is very hard work. When the business in the shop stabilizes, you can follow me to the training ground and greet the soldiers by the way." Shen Zhaoxue said .

"Got it." Rachel made a playful face at her.

The draft ceremony, which the whole country is looking forward to, kicked off today.

Every family and government is trying their best to send their daughters to the palace. Once they are rich, it is a matter of glory.

Shen House.

"Zhaoan, hurry up, people from the palace are coming soon." Meng Xianglan urged her daughter who had been busy dressing up all morning outside the room.

"Come on." Shen Zhaoan came out elegantly, wearing red, black, green, gold, and silver with her small mouth painted bright red. This time, she tried her best to win the favor of the Holy Majesty. She is more noble than that girl Shen Zhaoxue.

"Mother, is your daughter pretty?"

"Pretty, good-looking, mother Zhao'an is the prettiest, much prettier than the two daughters of Duke Su's family." Meng Xianglan thoughtfully trimmed her daughter's skirt, "Going to the palace, you must do what you say and do." Be careful, mother is waiting for your good news in the mansion."

Shen Zhaoan pursed her lips and nodded, "Mother, my daughter will definitely be selected."

On the other side of the house, Shen Zhaoping, who is the eldest sister of the three sisters, will also participate in this draft. The daughter was sent to the palace. She had been waiting for this opportunity for many years.

Shen Zhaoping seemed much more stable than the ostentatious Shen Zhaoan, "Mother, send it here."

Wang Wan held her daughter's hand, still worried, "You and Shen Zhaoan are competing together, mother is afraid..."

"It's okay, mother, my daughter will try her best to fight for it, even if there is no way, there is no way."

Wang Wan knew that this was a road of no return, she could either be a concubine or a slave, after sending her daughter to the palace today, it would no longer be an easy task to come out again. "You don't blame mother, do you..."

"Mother, my daughter doesn't blame you, we mother and daughter are fed up with this house, it's time to work hard."

Su Guogong's mansion, the people in the palace have arrived.

Standing at the front, the director's father-in-law held his head high, very aloof and arrogant, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Su Guogong, don't come here without any problems."

......

After dressing up, Su Changjin came out dignifiedly and politely, and bowed first. The director's father-in-law couldn't help but praise when he saw it, "The eldest lady of Su Guogong's family is indeed the most beautiful woman in the capital. The old slave will say a few good words, so that the Holy Majesty can give him a good name."

Su Guogong thanked him repeatedly, but he still didn't see the figure of his second daughter Su Xiuyan, so he couldn't help being furious, "Where is Xiuyan?"

Su Changjin was a little panicked, and stammered, "Xiuyan...she's not...not ready..."

"Aren't you ready? The director's father-in-law has already arrived. This child is simply outrageous."

In fact, Su Changjin knew for a long time that her sister had sneaked out of the palace in order to avoid the draft ceremony.

When the director's father-in-law saw him, he had no choice but to say, "In this case, let's go first, the ladies from other families are still waiting, we can't waste time on this one person."

"Yes, yes." Su Guogong quickly apologized, feeling very helpless, and finally just watched his eldest daughter follow him out.

The street was very lively today. Rachel stood at the door of the shop and looked around, saying, "Miss, today is the palace draft ceremony. I really want to go and see it. I've never seen it before."

Xiao An also leaned over and watched, "That's something people like you and I can see. Those who can participate in the draft are all young ladies from rich or noble families, and their status is good."

Rachel was unhappy, and unceremoniously twisted Xiao An's ears, "Are you mocking my low status? Yes, I'm just a little girl. What's the matter? You're still a boy, and none of us laughed at anyone. , it’s all about the same.”

"Hey, grandma, it hurts, it hurts..." Xiao An hissed in pain.

Shen Zhaoxue sat at the counter to settle the accounts, and smiled helplessly. These two people are simply a bunch of treasures, but they added a lot of lively atmosphere to the store.

At this moment, a figure flashed in quickly, almost to the point where both Rachel and Xiao An were stupefied at the same time, Shen Zhaoxue put down the pen in her hand, with a dull expression on her face, "Su Xiao...Xiuyan?"

Su Xiuyan propped her hands on the desk, gasping for breath, slurring her words, "Quick, see if anyone catches up, I'll come in and hide, I'm afraid my father will catch me back."

Shen Zhaoxue realized later that today is the draft ceremony, and Su Xiuyan is also one of the candidates, no wonder.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly said to Rachel and Xiaoan, "You two go to the door and watch, and report any movement."

Su Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, found a chair and sat down, and said to the two bickering people at the door, "Thank you for your hard work."

When she turned around, Shen Zhaoxue had already poured her herbal tea, Su Xiuyan took it unceremoniously, and drank it all down, "I'm exhausted, I ran all the way here from the back door."

Shen Zhaoxue burst out laughing, covering her mouth with one hand.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Xiuyan was slightly startled.

"Xiuyan is really a bold and unique woman." Shen Zhaoxue admired this woman from the bottom of her heart.

Su Xiuyan took it as a compliment and accepted it unceremoniously, while chatting with her, "Then let me ask you, if you hadn't married General Sima, would you have participated in the draft?"

"..." Shen Zhaoxue was at a loss for words for a while, her mouth was bitter, and she answered truthfully, "The mistress probably won't let me participate, but once I enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, so it's a good thing if I can't get in. .”

"I can't control that much anymore." Su Xiuyan curled her lips, "I don't want to enter the palace anyway if I'm killed."

Then Su Xiuyan said, "It's fine if you want to go in and hang out with a group of women around a stinky man, but also serve a husband with my own sister? Then I might as well die."

"Pfft..." Shen Zhaoxue couldn't help laughing again, "Smelly man... If he hears about this, he will be decapitated."

Su Xiuyan stammered and immediately changed her words, "I didn't say the Holy Majesty, I said other stinky men."

"Xiuyan seems to be particularly prejudiced against men."

"What's so good about a man? It's smelly, dirty, and rude. It's better than a daughter. She's gentle, lovely, considerate and considerate." Speaking of this seemed to arouse Su Xiuyan's interest, and she hurriedly squeezed her throat and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Zhaoxue, what are you doing?" Have you ever read the forbidden book?"

"Banned books?" Shen Zhaoxue shook her head.

"It's the books that are forbidden to be circulated in the market by official orders. They can only be found in the underground market. I will take you to the underground market in the capital some other day."

"Has Xiuyan read it?" Shen Zhaoxue asked curiously.

"I've only read it, and I have a lot of it in my room." Su Xiuyan whispered in her ear. "Those books are all about girls' stories, a bit like the storybooks told by storytellers in teahouses. You must know that in this world, not only men and women can fall in love, men and men, women and women Yes."

Shen Zhaoxue was speechless in shock, listening to the novelty she had never heard before, "Can women still fall in love with women?" She asked innocently like a curious baby.

"Of course I can!" Su Xiuyan talked more and more vigorously, and even started to popularize science with her, "You know that a book I read tells a true story, but the person who wrote the story and her lover... Anyway, it didn't end well."

"And, and..."
