The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

The busy May Festival came to an end, followed by the warmth and roasting of midsummer.

As a last resort, she had to take off another layer of clothes and change into a thin silk gauze skirt. This is Shen Zhaoxue's busy days, and she stepped back into this store. Because of last night's event, the products in the store were completely sold out. Xiaoan approached her to talk about the introduction of goods from the Western Regions, which was also the idea that Shen Zhaoxue had put forward since taking over.

This trip to the Western Regions is a long way away, so to avoid risks, a careful plan is required before setting off.

"Ma'am, why don't you just let me go, it's better for you to stay in the capital." Xiao An suggested.

"Xiao An, you have to remember that I have another identity, that is, the shopkeeper of this store. It was the first time I went to the Western Regions to get in touch with the merchants and maintain a close cooperative relationship. Only in this regard can I guarantee my sincerity. , you know, we must seize the vanguard, so that this store will have a foothold in this huge capital."

Xiao An had nothing to say, so he had to let her make the decision, but he was a little worried, Madam, this body can withstand it, after all, I heard that the weather on the way to the Western Regions is bad and the sky is full of sand, if something goes wrong on this trip, I'm afraid As a guy, he can't help but feel guilty.

"Miss, do you have to go?" Rachel's eyes were full of worry. To be honest, she didn't want Miss to go to that kind of place in person.

Shen Zhaoxue smiled with a gentle tone, "Rachel, do you know what I want to do most now?"

Rachel didn't quite understand and shook her head.

Shen Zhaoxue said again, "What I want to do most is to keep this Sima's store running well, and I have nothing else to ask for." When she said this, her eyes were shining, and she seemed to be Want nothing.

Rachel bit her lip, she couldn't bear it, but there was nothing she could do, so she said, "Then I will go too, and Rachel will go wherever Miss goes."

"No." As a result, she was rejected this time. Shen Zhaoxue didn't seem to have made the decision just now, but instead answered after careful consideration, "Rachel, this time, you stay in the capital."

"Why!" Rachel didn't understand, and looked at her pleadingly.

Shen Zhaoxue took her hand, speaking earnestly, with sustenance in her eyes, "I still need you to stay in the capital to help me with one thing."

"What is it... Miss." Rachel bit her lip, although she was extremely reluctant, she had silently agreed. After all, how could she disobey Miss's order.

"My trip this time will be in March and May at the earliest, or at least a year and a half. My grandmother is getting old. I hope you can go back to the house for me to visit her from time to time and take care of her."

"Understood, miss, I will stay in the capital and wait for you to come back safely." Rachel looked at Shen Zhaoxue with sparkling eyes.

Next, Shen Zhaoxue arranged for Xiaoan and Rachel to go together to help her buy the supplies she needed for this trip, while she stayed behind to make detailed travel plans. When she was a child, she read some autobiographies of envoys who went to the Western Regions. The country, Shen Zhaoxue has always been secretly longing for in her heart, and it just so happens that this time she can use the name of introducing rouge and gouache from the Western Regions to broaden her horizons.

After going around for a while, they still came here, Su Xiuyan stood at the door of the shop for a long time, it was Shen Zhaoxue who discovered her first, and called out, "Xiuyan!"

Only then did Su Xiuyan come back to her senses, and walked in involuntarily. The previous boredom was swept away when she saw this girl. She is her healing god.

"rehabilitate!"

Shen Zhaoxue got up to pour tea for her, while chatting with her, "Last night..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Xiuyan, "How were you last night, Rachel and I were quite worried about you."

Shen Zhaoxue's hand pouring tea was startled, "I, I'm fine, it's safe and sound, and you, I heard Rachel said that you met last night."

"Yes." Su Xiuyan reached out to take her tea, and drank it unceremoniously, "I looked for you with Rachel, and when I saw that you were safe, I left first, and I didn't have time to go up Go say hi to you."

For some reason, the atmosphere between the two of them was a little weird in today's conversation.

After sitting like this for a while, Su Xiuyan suggested that she should go back, "I'll come and play with you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow..." Shen Zhaoxue got up to see her off, hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter tomorrow, are you okay?" Su Xiuyan asked curiously.

"Yes." Shen Zhaoxue smiled slightly, "I won't be in the capital tomorrow."

"Not in the capital? Where are you going?"

"Western Region, we are going to introduce the rouge gouache from there."

Su Xiuyan was shocked. She would never have imagined that a weak woman like Shen Zhaoxue would have such big ideas. You must know that the Western Regions have never been on good terms with their own country. It has been this way for years.

"Are you crazy? The capital is so far away from the Western Regions. Let alone how dangerous it is, do you think you can withstand the bad weather there with your own body?"

Sure enough, everyone's reaction was exactly the same, but Shen Zhaoxue decided to do something in her heart, and no one could persuade her, "It is precisely because there is no such precedent, so we have to pursue the victory and become the number one in the capital by then." Home."

Fool, fool.

Su Xiuyan scolded her in her heart, a small shop that the Sima family doesn't care about, why are you so attentive, and now you want to risk your life to enter it.

I disagreed with the words stuck in my throat for a long time. Later, Su Xiuyan realized that she didn't seem to have the right to do so. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally just asked a few words feebly, "... Have you really decided?"

"It's decided." Shen Zhaoxue did not hesitate, her attitude was firm.

In this way, Su Xiuyan still said goodbye to Shen Zhaoxue, but she also quickly made a decision in her heart, that is, she wants to accompany her!

When this idea was born in her mind, she felt that she was simply crazy, or that she was hopelessly crazy. My father is now strict with her travel, and if she wants to leave home for so long without anyone noticing, It was still a bit difficult for her, so when she went back that night, Su Xiuyan packed up a few sets of summer clothes and brought enough silver taels of gold and silver jewelry for emergencies on the road.

After everything was ready, Su Xiuyan felt that she left like this, and felt very sorry for her father who was alone at home, so she had to light up the night to fight, and improvised a letter of confession, only to quietly leave the city tomorrow morning.

Shen Zhaoxue and Sima Boyi, who returned to Sima Mansion, expressed their thoughts. He didn't have any objections. On the contrary, he began to appreciate the third lady of the Shen family who was once called bad by everyone. She is a very independent child. As long as you give her With space and freedom to play, she may create something unexpected.

"Since you have made a decision, the old man will not stop you. Just ask for anything you need. You can take any servants in this house with you to take care of you. Let Yun'er send more soldiers to accompany you. Safety on the road comes first.”

Shen Zhaoxue made a bow, bowed her head and said, "Thank you dad."

Sima Boyi was silent for a long time before opening his mouth, his words were quite emotional, "This shop was the painstaking effort of Yun'er's mother during her lifetime. Since she left, it has been in decline for many years. Zhaoxue, thank you very much for this paragraph. time to do everything."

"Father, this is what Zhaoxue should do. Zhaoxue has married into the Sima family and was born into the Sima family."

Seeing her like this, Sima Boyi couldn't bear it even more, she is also a poor child, it's a pity that she may not be able to enjoy the reality of husband and wife in this life.

"Well, let's go back to rest earlier, if you need anything, just ask the butler to arrange it."

"Yes, father, then Zhaoxue will step back first." After Shen Zhaoxue finished speaking, she owed her back, turned around and walked out slowly.

After Shen Zhaoxue left, Sima Boyi sat alone in the main hall for a while, holding a cup of tea in his hand, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Almost the whole family knew that the young lady was going to the Western Regions, and everyone spread it ten to ten times, but Sima Yun alone was kept in the dark. Shen Zhaoxue didn't want to bother the general. It would be good to hire a few mercenaries on the way, but Rachel went to the general privately.

Unexpectedly, after the general learned about it, he first raised his eyebrows, remained calm, and acted very calmly, as if he didn't care at all. Qin Sun hadn't left yet, and was discussing military affairs with her. After hearing that his sister-in-law was going to the Western Regions , even exaggerated, and then joked, "General, don't you want to be a flower protector? Here in the capital, I will help you look after it. Besides, Wei Xue should come back in two days, so you can rest assured." Bar."

A cold gleam flashed in Sima Yun's eyes, and he gave Qin Sun a god, and then said, "If she is going, let her go." After finishing speaking, he continued to lower his head and go about his own business.

Qin Sun was in a hurry, "You really don't care about people's life or death? If it's not good, then send a few more guards to protect them."

Sima Yun stopped talking, but cursed in his heart, is this woman a fool?

The next day, when it was time to set off, Shen Zhaoxue got up early and was sent by Rachel all the way to the door. Even the master who was about to go to court in the morning hadn't gotten up yet, let alone the general.Rachel looked at the young lady reluctantly, and said, "Miss, you must pay attention to safety and come back safely."

Shen Zhaoxue patted her hand, "Remember what I told you."

As soon as the words fell, the groom urged, "Madam, it's time to get in the car and start, or we won't be able to reach the next station before dark."

Shen Zhaoxue nodded, and then glanced inside again, as if expecting something, but felt that it would be nothing.After making sure no one came out to see her off, she pursed her lips and turned around to get into the car.

At this moment, there was a rhythmic sound of horseshoes coming from the mansion, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone outside. After a while, Sima Yun appeared in front of him leading the horse. Rachel was shocked and immediately saluted, "General !"

Sima Yun glanced around and finally landed on Shen Zhaoxue. He threw a bag at her unexpectedly with his backhand. Shen Zhaoxue almost missed it. She looked down and realized that there seemed to be... It's the general's own clothes, maybe... Do you want to go with her?
