The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

"General, Yuqing respects you with this cup."

Sima Yun raised his glass and drank it down.

Shen Zhaoxue didn't drink, and sat across the table looking at these two. She was relieved to see her dearest brother and her favorite husband live in harmony in her lifetime.

Shen Yuqing seemed to be drinking a little too much, her words and deeds showed a drunken state, she caught off guard and shifted the topic to Shen Zhaoxue, and also changed the name of Sima Yun from general to brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, do you know that my younger sister was very interesting when she was young?"

"Brother, you drank too much." Shen Zhaoxue suddenly realized what he was going to say, and hurried out to smooth things over.

However, Sima Yun held the small wine glass to his mouth with one hand, with a slight smile in his eyes, and seemed to be very interested.

"At that time, she was only ten years old. I asked her what kind of person she wanted to marry when she grew up. After all, Zhaoan Zhaoping dreamed of marrying a prince and nobleman, but she said that she just wanted to marry an ordinary person. People, I asked her why, and she said, this is her greatest happiness." Shen Yuqing herself felt incomprehensible, "A ten-year-old girl knows what is the greatest happiness. It's hard for a big brother to understand."

"Okay, brother...don't cancel me anymore." Shen Zhaoxue pulled Shen Yuqing's arm.

Unexpectedly, Sima Yun smiled lightly, raised his eyes to look at Shen Zhaoxue and said, "Isn't the madam not able to fulfill her wish now?"

Shen Zhaoxue blushed suddenly, did not dare to look up, and answered in a low voice. "Being able to marry the general is Zhaoxue's greatest happiness."

After the words fell, Shen Yuqing started booing, and both parties involved became shy, including Sima Yun, she was surprised that she would say such straightforward words under such circumstances, even if it was a confession, it would not be an exaggeration.

"Tonight, you and your wife will live in your brother's house and rest well. The journey must be hard. Don't treat yourself as an outsider. If you need anything, just tell me, although my brother's place may not be as good as the capital. , but try to be as satisfying as possible, okay?"

After the meal, the two were ushered into a guest room, saying that they had packed it up in a hurry, put fresh flowers in full bloom, scented it, and even everything on the bed was brand new.

Shen Yuqing drank too much and walked staggeringly. Luckily, she was supported by the housekeeper. Watching them leave, Sima Yun who was standing at the door couldn't help but say, "Your brother's drinking capacity... is really not good. Woolen cloth."

Shen Zhaoxue looked up at her, then looked away, "That's natural, it's not enough for the general's drinking capacity."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a big hand and that powerful arm appeared around her waist. Shen Zhaoxue was so suddenly embraced by Sima Yun's waist. She was too frightened to make a sound, as if she couldn't breathe. They all fell silent, and then heard a voice above their heads, "I'm tired, go to bed early."

Shen Zhaoxue bit her lip and responded in a low voice, "Okay...Okay."

Who said that he could drink well, and who said that he was not drunk...Now that he is like this, he is obviously drunk, right?

Shen Zhaoxue dared to look up at her, but Sima Yun also looked down, his eyes blurred, "What's wrong?"

"No... nothing."

It was a peaceful night, and nothing else happened.

When Shen Zhaoxue just got up in the morning, she learned that the general had gone to take a shower. She opened the door and came out of the room. The morning sun hit her face, and she subconsciously raised her hand to block it, which was a bit dazzling.

Recalling the scene of last night, her face still became hot immediately. Although nothing practical happened, Shen Zhaoxue put her hands on her waist, imagining that... the general's arms were holding her.

At this moment, a voice came from not far away.

"rehabilitate!"

Shen Zhaoxue opened her eyes, it was her brother.

Shen Yuqing is still so high-spirited, after sobering up, he looks different from last night, "Brother drank too much yesterday, so he didn't get embarrassed."

Shen Zhaoxue pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother, you have said a lot of embarrassing things about me."

"Really, hahahaha...." Shen Yuqing wanted to say haha, then changed the subject, "Where's the general?"

"I went to take a shower. I drank too much with you and brother last night."

"The yamen is fine today. Let me take you for a stroll in Ledu. Buy whatever you want to eat, and buy whatever you want. Since my brother can't persuade you, then I will support you unconditionally."

"Thank you brother."

After the three of them came out from the yamen, they walked on the streets of Ledu, and passers-by would all nod their heads to Shen Yuqing. A few years ago, corruption prevailed in Ledu and the economy was in depression. As a parent official, he suddenly became a person who was admired and admired by the people of Ledu.

Of course, the gossip news was also discussed by everyone.

"I heard that Master Shen's younger sister in the capital is here to visit relatives."

"I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so talented, and his sister is also so beautiful. If I have such a son and daughter, I'm afraid I'll wake up from my dream."

"Then the other person is... looking majestic and majestic."

"Don't you know, that's the famous General Sima in our country."

"What, he is General Sima, it's true that seeing a hundred things is better than hearing a hundred things."

"General Sima is a big celebrity in Ganzhou, and the people of Ganzhou worship him as a god."

"Ledu is adjacent to Ganzhou, so we can hear about it more or less."

"..."

"My brother is loved by the people in Ledu." Shen Zhaoxue couldn't help saying when she saw this.

Shen Yuqing is very humble, "I just did what I should do. For these, I will take it as a gift."

As soon as the words came out, Sima Yun resonated. She also said, "Whether it is an official or a general, we just do what we should do."

Shen Zhaoxue can understand it very well, but she feels very uncomfortable about the inappropriate remarks made by the people in the capital towards the general in the past. To lead troops to fight to defend the country is still being speculated like that, and it is used as a joke after dinner. , but the general said so today, presumably he doesn't care at all in his heart.

She who was in deep thought was suddenly mentioned, Sima Yun looked at her and asked, "Madam, what do you think?"

Shen Zhaoxue was a little flustered, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, "I think what you said is right and very reasonable."

Sima Yun and Shen Yuqing suddenly had a common topic. The two walked and chatted all the way, and Shen Zhaoxue listened quietly, occasionally agreeing twice.

Beijing.

Rachel set off from the house early in the morning, carrying an exquisite and small bamboo basket, and went in to buy some incense through the shops along the road. It had been a while since the young lady left, and the capital had not received any news. She was worried, so she thought Then go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and pray for the lady.

After walking for about an hour, I finally arrived at the most famous temple in the capital, that is, Dayan Temple. At that time, the May Festival was lucky enough to go in with Miss and Miss Su to face the saints. Now, Dayan Temple has restored its former days The bustling, the incense is strong, and the number of people who come to offer incense in the early morning is countless.

Some prayed for peace, some prayed for grandchildren, some prayed for marriage, everything, everyone stepped here with the most pious heart, conveying their wishes like the Buddha.

Rachel, like all believers, offered incense, knelt down, and prayed for the safety of the lady and the general, and a smooth journey.

After burning the incense and coming out, he turned around and met Mianchun who was beside the eldest lady.

"Miss Mianchun."

"Rachel, you're here too."

Rachel smiled and asked, "Is Miss Mianchun also here to pray for the young miss?"

Mian Chun was stunned, a little panicked, "Yes, yes, you are here to offer incense to Miss San."

Rachel nodded.

"Miss... bah, no, she should be the empress now, are you okay in the palace?" Rachel asked.

Mianchun pursed her lips and shook her head, with a heavy expression, "The situation in the palace... is actually not good. You know that the emperor only favors Su Zhaoyi, not only our mother, but also Jieyu. The two of them were so anxious that the enemy Enemies are now friends."

Mianchun paused and said, "Now, I also want to do something for the empress, so I took advantage of the spare time when I was out of the palace to do some business, and came over to offer incense, hey, by the way, how are the third lady and the general? Said they set off for the Western Regions together."

"Yeah, I think, the general still has a lady in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't risk his life to escort him."

Mian Chun nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you any more, it's time to go back to the palace, we will get together again when we have time."

"Yeah!" Rachel nodded and waved goodbye to her.

Shen Yuqing did her best to buy a lot of things for her sister's journey. Shen Zhaoxue knew how much her brother's fixed monthly salary was, and she didn't want him to spend more. Shen Yuqing was stubborn and said that she must buy it. What to do with love.

Similarly, for Sima Yun, he also had some things to say before he left.

"General, brother-in-law." Shen Yuqing patted her on the shoulder and entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, "I, Shen, is the only sister, and I leave it to you. I hope you can love her and protect her for me. She is very strong. A stubborn child, it was not easy all the way since she was a child. At first, when she was going to marry into the Sima Mansion by order, I was very worried, but now seeing you and how you treat Zhaoxue, the stone in my heart has dropped. Shen believes in the character of the general, and also believes that Zhaoxue will not suffer and be wronged by following you. After the next stop in Ganzhou, you will enter the territory of Kucha, a great country in the Western Regions. Hope everything is well, and in the future, we The two of you can still drink to your heart’s content.”

Sima Yun has been listening in silence, knowing the burden on his shoulders, and also able to appreciate his love for Zhaoxue.

Shen Zhaoxue's eyes turned red in silence, and she heard all the words her brother said to the general. She lowered her head and turned her back, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and tried her best to hold back the tears. Man, how ugly it is to be seen.

"Okay." Shen Yuqing smiled, "I won't delay you, let's go early, Zhaoxue, listen to the general's words along the way, he has more experience than you, don't be stubborn or lose your temper for no reason."

Shen Zhaoxue sniffed, and laughed while crying.
