The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

The next day.

The delivery workers from Yuxiangfang arrived and carried them to the carriage one by one. Shen Zhaoxue counted them aside. Although she believed in the boss's character, she couldn't be too careful. After all, workers sometimes made mistakes.

This batch of goods was transported back to the capital by herself and the general, and will be sent to the public area at the border between the two countries by the escort agency here, and the person in charge on the other side will receive the goods and continue to transport them to the final destination, although it is very troublesome , but according to the previous conditions of the relationship between the two countries, this is the only feasible way now.

After the goods were loaded, they were ready to leave for Beijing without any delay. The family members must be very worried after going out for such a long time. Before leaving, Shen Zhaoxue wrote a letter to Rachel. Send it again, and this time, the route drawn up by the general is the fastest route back to Beijing. If nothing happens on the way, the time it takes will be half of the time they came.

It will probably arrive by the end of the year.

But as soon as they left Duyan City, there was movement from Aria's side.

"Father, my daughter wants to visit the Central Plains."

"Aria, my good daughter, Qiuci and Zhongyuan have been cut off for so many years, why do you still want to go there?"

"Father, isn't it still your word to come or go?" Aria awakened the dreamer with a word.

In the end, my father warned me to bring more exotic treasures to the emperor of the Central Plains, and they would give me some face. At least in the Central Plains, it would not be difficult for her.

Aria kept in mind that after ordering the servants to pack up and make all the preparations, they set off immediately. The time was exactly one day later than Shen Zhaoxue and the others, so they might not meet each other on this journey.

Rachel received a letter from the young lady early on, and learned that she and the general had successfully reached a cooperation with the rouge merchants in the Western Regions, and they were on the way back to Beijing with the first batch of goods. Every day, she never forgets to go to the gate of the city to watch and watch. Although she knows that the young lady and the general will not come back so soon, she still can't help but wait there. Seeing that the end of the year is getting closer and closer, Rachel looks forward to the early return of the young lady and the general , so that the family can have a happy New Year.

On this day, it was snowing from the sky, the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and the city was covered with snow. There was a special person at the gate of the city to clean up the snow water. Rachel went out early in the morning. It's a hunch.

"Little girl, come and wait for the general's wife again."

The heavy snow stopped, and the aunts and uncles who sold vegetables came out to set up stalls, and sat in a row, shivering in the cold wind.

These days, Rachel has almost gotten to know the people in this morning market. She smiled and said, "Yeah, I have a hunch that my lady will come back today."

"Oh, I advise you, don't get your hopes up, the roads are blocked in this snowy day, and we street vendors still have to spare a long way to come here, don't wait for this monster outside cold."

Rachel shook her head, determined her own thoughts, and looked forward to the direction outside the city gate.

At this moment, a carriage broke into her sight. Although it had already become dilapidated after traveling all the way, Rachel could recognize it at a glance. It was the carriage of Sima's mansion, with a unique logo, and the whole person jumped excitedly. Getting up, Da Laoyuan waved and called, "Miss, miss!"

The weather was too cold, so I hired a groom to go on the road. Sima Yun sat in the carriage and took a nap with his eyes closed. The same was true for Shen Zhaoxue. She was too cold to move until she heard Rachel's call and confirmed that it was her voice again and again, so she hurriedly opened the door. The car curtain came and waved to her.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the city, Shen Zhaoxue pretended to be angry and scolded Rachel for being a fool, and at the same time let her get on the carriage, it was cold outside, Rachel didn't care, just kept laughing silly, because the young lady finally came back, she was really nice I am so happy.

On the way back to the house, Shen Zhaoxue did not forget to ask Rachel about the situation in the store. Fortunately, Rachel has been helping in the store all the time, and she is very clear about the business situation of the store, and she has reported everything truthfully.

When the report was almost finished, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of Sima Mansion.

When the butler saw Shen Zhaoxue and Sima Yun getting off the car, he was so excited that he almost fell to the ground, and went inside to inform while calling "Madam and the general are back".

Sima Boyi was painting in the study, when he heard the housekeeper calling from a long distance away, he walked to the door out of curiosity, "Uncle Li, what's the matter?"

"My lord, my lord, the generals are back."

Sima Boyi was stunned for a moment, stepped out of the threshold without saying a word, hurriedly walked to the front yard to greet him.

"Yun'er!"

A voice came from behind, Sima Yun turned his head, startled, "Father..."

"You can be regarded as coming back. You don't know how much your father and father-in-law are worried about you." After speaking, Sima Boyi looked at Shen Zhaoxue again, "Zhaoxue, are you okay too?"

Shen Zhaoxue nodded, with a faint smile on her face, "I'm worried about you, Dad, everything is fine with Zhaoxue."

"Quickly, go into the house, it's cold outside, Uncle Li ordered to go down, let the kitchen prepare the dishes, and pack all the luggage in."

Because of the return of the two of them, the mansion seemed to be revived all of a sudden, as if they were alive again.

Historically, news is always the fastest thing to spread. The two have just returned to Beijing not long ago, and this matter has spread throughout the capital. They traveled to the Western Regions and returned intact. This is in the face of the current tense relationship between the two countries. , It is unprecedented. Everyone talked about it and whispered to each other. At the same time, they had to admire and admire the perseverance and ability of the general's wife. There are too few people who have to do the risk.

At the same time, some people also began to look forward to what the Sima family's rouge shop will soon have new products. This rouge gouache from the Western Regions is itself a big gimmick that attracts people to stop.

Su House.

At lunch time, Su Guogong didn't see Xiuyan for a while, so he asked a girl to question, but the girl said that the young lady rushed out of the mansion without saying a word when she heard that General Sima was back.

"This kid... is one year older, and still so reckless... But, could it be that Xiuyan is interested in General Sima?"

On the other side of Shen's mansion, Meng Xianglan was out of breath when she heard that Shen Zhaoxue's stinky girl had returned safely, but because of Shen Qiwen's presence, she didn't have a fit.

Shen Qiwen was relieved. Although Zhaoxue was not his direct son, his palms and backs were fleshy. This time he didn't take the opportunity to trip up the Sima family, but he will have another chance in the future.

----

The cook in the mansion received the order and prepared a table of good dishes as quickly as possible, and then served with the good wine that Sima's mansion had preserved for many years, and the luncheon began.

Sima Yun and Sima Boyi toasted each other very politely, Shen Zhaoxue was eating quietly, at this moment, the master suddenly poured her a glass of wine himself, Shen Zhaoxue couldn't stand it and quickly stood up and took it with both hands. superior.

"Zhaoxue, you've worked hard on this journey, the old man proposes a glass of wine to you, you have to take it."

Unable to refuse, the hospitality is hard to turn down, Shen Zhaoxue drank this glass of wine, the spicy stamina was very strong, and she felt dizzy after a while, but her mind was still clear.

I don't know why, but at this very moment, she recalled the time when she was in the prison of Kucha with the general, she drank too much wine that night, and... Thinking of this, Shen Zhaoxue was so surprised that she stroked the pulp of her index finger. red lips.
