The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

The early morning in the mountains was foggy, and the eyelashes seemed to be covered with water vapor. Sleeping on the wooden boards was a bit sore around the waist and shoulders. Shen Zhaoxue blinked and realized that she had slept in this position last night. Covered with a blanket, I stretched out my hand and pinched the corners of it. When I turned my head and looked down, the general was no longer there, the fire had long been extinguished, and residual smoke was billowing upwards.

Sitting up suddenly, there were crisp birdsong sounds from all around, the breeze blew and the leaves swayed, making people's heart unconsciously quiet. After a while, Shen Zhaoxue put away the blanket and got off the carriage. The son was eating grass leisurely, Shen Zhaoxue raised her hand and patted the horse's back, and said to the horse, "My dear horse, have you seen your master?"

How could the horse respond to her? Shen Zhaoxue felt bored and became dazed.

At this moment, there was a lot of movement in the woods, and Shen Zhaoxue clasped her arms tightly and raised her vigilance instantly. The next moment, Sima Yun came out from inside, with big steps, walking with wind, holding a water bottle and Freshly picked fruit.

"Eat."

In this way, everything was pushed in front of Shen Zhaoxue, and she didn't say too much, and she acted very directly.

Shen Zhaoxue was startled, and took it hesitantly, "General, let's eat together..."

"I've eaten." Sima Yun replied, turned around to lead his own horse, and did not forget to remind, "The next stop is Linxia, ​​if you hurry, you should be there before dark."

"Hmm..." Shen Zhaoxue nodded, then looked down at the washed fruit in her hand with lowered eyebrows, put it in her mouth and took a bite, the sweet and sour taste exploded in the taste buds in an instant, making people have endless aftertaste .

On this day, Mrs. Sima, who had been staying in the backyard for a long time, came to the front yard early in the morning, startling Sima Boyi, "Father... why don't you get up so early and sleep more?"

"Where's Yun'er, have you gone to the training ground yet?" Sima Chong asked.

Sima Boyi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth, "Yun'er went to the Western Regions, and she went with Zhaoxue."

"What?" Old Master Sima's face changed greatly, "Nonsense, why didn't you stop it, where in the Western Regions, it's so dangerous."

Sima Boyi was also very embarrassed, he always felt indebted to his daughter in his heart, he never forced her to do anything these years, except for this year's imperial decree which is hard to defy.

Seeing that Sima Boyi didn't say anything for a long time, the old man was so angry that he shook his hand and left.

Sima Boyi chased him all the way to the gate of the mansion, "Father, where are you going?"

"Let's relax!"

It is said to be relaxing, but in fact, I just want to go to the shop. The weather in the capital is very good, the sun is shining, the streets are bustling and lively, and the old man hasn't been out for too many days.

When he first arrived at the door of the store, Xiao An didn't recognize him, and he didn't come out to greet him. He thought that it was unlikely that an old man would enter this store, and he would cause trouble if he was not careful.

Sima Chong walked in swaggeringly, as if he was the owner of the shop, looked around, then turned to ask Xiao An, "Why are there so many products in this shop, how can we do business like this."

Xiao An quickly explained, "Recently, all the products in the store have been sold out, and the shopkeeper has gone to other places, and a batch of new products will be available soon." Xiao An is still very patient in his professional habits, but he felt puzzled after speaking. Is the old man out of his mind?

Sima Chong was very surprised, "You mean, all the goods deposited in the store are sold out?"

"Yes." Xiaoan nodded, pointed to the scattered goods on the shelf, "that's all there is, these are new goods from the past two days, when our shopkeeper comes back, there will be even better ones s things."

Sima Chong nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "This child, I really underestimated her, I didn't expect her to be quite capable."

"Grandpa, what do you need?" Xiao An asked.

"What's your name old man?"

"Grandpa..." Xiao An repeated it honestly, feeling weird in his heart.

Sima Chong didn't bother to argue with him, he was just a boy, so he asked curiously, "Your shopkeeper, where did you go to pick up the goods?"

Xiao An almost slipped his mouth, but then closed his mouth, "I can't say this, it's an industry secret."

"I know if you don't tell me." Sima Chong narrowed his eyes and smiled, with his hands on his hips, looking like an old urchin.

At this time, the store welcomed the second elderly "customer" today, who was also someone Xiaoan had never seen before.

It was an old lady dressed luxuriously, she didn't look like an ordinary person, Xiaoan went up to greet her, "Hello, what do you need?"

The old lady glanced at Xiao An, then stopped her gaze on Sima Chong, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, how come there are still old men visiting the rouge shop these days, I'm afraid it's not their brains...

The old lady cleared her throat and said why she came, "Where is your shopkeeper, I'm looking for her."

Xiao An scratched her head, why everyone came to see Madam today, it was strange.

"My shopkeeper... went out. If you need anything, you can call me." Xiao An stammered, facing such a situation for the first time, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"Going out? When will I come back? I'll wait for her here." The old lady said.

Xiao An's face was a bit embarrassed, and she couldn't help saying, "Grandma, our shopkeeper has gone away, and he won't be back for a year or so."

"Going away?" The old lady was excited, "Where did she go?"

At this moment, Sima Chong, who had been silent all this time, also spoke, "Whose old lady are you, why do you care so much?"

"Whose old man are you? You don't care about me." The old lady was relentless.

"You want to find my granddaughter-in-law, you say I don't care." Sima Chong spoke quickly.

After the words fell, the old lady, including Xiao An, was shocked for a while.

Especially Xiao An was quite frightened, could it be that this old man is... Sima Chong?The old man of the Sima family?mother...

"You are my Zhaoxue's grandfather?" The old lady pointed at her.

Sima Chong simply admitted, "Who are you old lady?"

"I'm Zhaoxue's grandmother!"

Xiao An silently withdrew from the battlefield, biting her fingers, watching the battle that was about to start.

"Quickly tell me, where did Zhaoxue go? It will take a year and a half for a long journey." The old grandmother was very worried.

Xiao An glanced at the old man Sima Chong, then at the Shen family's grandmother, and said tremblingly, "We... have gone to the Western Regions."

"Western Region?" The old grandmother almost couldn't stand still, but was quickly supported by Sima Chong. The old grandmother pushed him away, "How could you let her go to that kind of place, isn't it because you want my granddaughter to die? !"

Sima Chong was unhappy when he heard that, "My grandson...my grandson is still going with me! I'll find someone to reason with."

"Um...you two, old man, old grandmother, don't...don't quarrel." Xiao An finally couldn't help but stand up and reconcile, "The matter of going to the Western Regions was planned by Madam after careful consideration. If you want to build this store up, make it bigger and do it well, we, as fellows, can only support it with all our strength. I also hope that you and the elders will not argue over this matter. I believe that with the protection of the general, you will come back safe and sound. .”

After the words were finished, the old grandmother raised her eyes and glanced at Sima Chong, who also secretly glanced at her, and the two old people turned around.

The old grandmother said, "Zhaoxue, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid that everyone in your Sima family will not be able to pay for it."

Not to be outdone, Sima Chong folded his arms, "I, Yun'er, followed."

Later, knowing that the situation was awkward and deadlocked, Sima Chong had no choice but to take the initiative to back down, "As for Zhaoxue, it can be seen that she is a child with great ambition and vision. This old man has a more impressive impression of her."

The old grandmother was not a caring person, so she had to give in a step when she saw this, "Your grandson is also good, he became a first-rank garrison general at a young age."

"..." The two elders started the mode of exaggerating their granddaughters.

Xiao An silently wiped the sweat from his forehead, but luckily he didn't start a fight, otherwise if something happened to the old man's body in the shop, he wouldn't be able to bear it.

The carriage continued to drive, and it took another whole morning before finally walking out of the Longxi Plateau, followed by a wide plain road that is easy to walk, and the surrounding farmland is full of farmers planting seedlings bent over, as well as children Bare feet rolled up their trouser legs and frolicked on the field ridges.

What a leisurely and contented pastoral scene, Shen Zhaoxue kept her eyes on her for a moment, and said leisurely, "General, do you think they are happy?"

Sima Yun was holding the reins with one hand, half-sitting on the driving seat, one leg crossed and the other hanging in the air, looking ahead, "Work at sunrise and rest at sunset...you know how warm you are."

Shen Zhaoxue was a little unknown, she couldn't help tilting her head and asked, "Has the general ever thought about what to do without leading troops to fight in the future?"

Sima Yun was stunned, and suddenly remembered that no one had really asked her this question for so many years. After thinking about it for a long time, he said casually, "When that day really comes, maybe I will drop my armor and return to the field."

She doesn't want to be like her father, abandoning military service to become an official, she has no interest in being an official.

Shen Zhaoxue nodded, anyway, she doesn't care about these things, she will go wherever the general goes, and she will do what the general does in the future, if she really takes off her armor and returns to the field one day, then she will become a country woman.

The sun was setting, and the direction of the carriage happened to be facing the west. The afterglow of the setting sun hit her face completely. At first, it was still a little dazzling. Shen Zhaoxue narrowed her eyes slightly, covered her forehead with one hand, and suddenly grinned, "General, what is Zhaoxue doing?" You sing a song."

"You can sing?" Sima Yun expressed doubts in his tone.

Shen Zhaoxue didn't answer her, but cleared her throat, pondered for a while, and then opened her mouth, "Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river continent..."

The voice is melodious and melodious, which adds a touch of relaxation and fun to this tiring journey.

"How about it?"

"good."

"How is it?"

"Not bad." Sima Yun waved the reins, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
