The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

"We haven't seen each other for half a year. How did this kid, Zhaoxue, drink so much?" Sima Boyi just offered a toast to the kid, who knew that she didn't want to stop drinking.

Seeing this, Sima Yun hurried forward to stop her, blocking the wine glass she raised, "You've drunk too much, I'll take you back to your room."

"General, Zhaoxue didn't drink too much, Zhaoxue can still drink." Shen Zhaoxue held up the wine glass with a smile, especially the eyes that looked at Sima Yun were full of love, Sima Boyi naturally had a panoramic view, no It was so natural that he turned his face away and coughed twice.

"Yun'er, take her back to her room to rest, it won't look good if she drinks too much later." Sima Boyi reminded.

Sima Yun knew it, got up from the seat, picked up the wine glass in Shen Zhaoxue's hand, and helped her up, but the drunken Shen Zhaoxue hugged Sima Yun's waist in a daze, and called out to her sweetly, "General...General...hehehehe..."

Sima Yun's face turned red in an instant, extending to the base of her neck. She didn't have time to look back at her father's reaction, so she simply picked her up and walked outside.

Rachel saw it outside, and immediately followed, asking, "General, how is Miss?"

"It's okay, I just drank too much." Sima Yun replied.

Seeing this scene, the servants in the mansion couldn't help but stop what they were doing and started chatting.

"This lady and the general have traveled far together, and it seems that their relationship has grown a lot."

"That's not true, this lonely man and widow are together outside day and night, maybe something happened a long time ago."

"Puff puff, then you said they will come back now, should they sleep in the same room?"

"It should be soon."

"..."

Sima Yun sent Shen Zhaoxue into the room, helped her to lie on the bed, turned around and told Rachel who followed all the way, "You watch here."

Rachel nodded, "Don't worry, General, I will take good care of Miss."

"Hmm..." Sima Yun turned his head for another look before leaving, and then stepped out of the threshold and walked into the snow, and there was another line of footprints in the yard.

When he returned to the main hall of the front yard, Sima Boyi was drinking alone, looking preoccupied. Sima Yun hesitated for a while, but walked in, "Father..."

Sima Boyi raised his head and waved at her, "Come here, have a drink with dad."

Sima Yun went back and sat down again, persuading, "Father, drink less, I've drunk a lot today."

After the words fell, Sima Boyi suddenly began to smile wryly, almost without warning, "Sin, sin..."

Sima Yun knew what it meant, sat aside silently and did not answer, but poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.

Looking up and looking outside, it was snowing again, layers of snowflakes covered the ground, and the whole winter was very peaceful.

At this moment, Sima Boyi asked the question that he had borne in his heart for a long time, "Does Zhaoxue know?"

Sima Yun came back to his senses and replied, "No."

"We must keep this secret, Yun'er. This is related to the fate of our entire Sima family. If something happens, even she will not be able to escape the moral and ethical sanctions."

"I know, dad." Sima Yun lowered his brows, shaking the wine glass in his hand slightly, and the crystal clear liquid swayed in the small and delicate glass.

If possible, she would keep this secret for the rest of her life and bring it into the loess after death, without telling anyone.

After drinking some wine, Shen Zhaoxue fell asleep until the next day. Shen Zhaoxue felt full of energy. She opened the door and stood at the door. There was a vast white scene in front of her. The heavy snow that had just fallen last night had already The footprints were buried, Rachel walked towards this side with hot water, and said pleasantly, "Miss, you are awake."

Shen Zhaoxue nodded lightly, and did not forget to tell her, "Slow down, your feet are slipping."

Seeing her walking slowly step by step, Shen Zhaoxue finally settled down. If she accidentally slipped and fell in the hot water, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Miss, do you know who sent you back to your room yesterday?" Rachel suddenly asked.

Shen Zhaoxue washed her face and was stunned, she had no memory of what happened at noon yesterday, "Who?"

"General, miss, don't you remember, the general carried you back from the front yard all the way, and I don't know how many servants in the house saw you."

"Ah?" Shen Zhaoxue paused when she wiped her face, and raised her head to ask, "Is it really the general... who brought me back?"

"Really, really, Rachel followed all the way. Before the general left, he told me to take good care of you, Miss."

Hearing what she said, Shen Zhaoxue couldn't help feeling a burst of joy in her heart.Quickly asked, "Then do you know, is the general at the mansion at the moment?"

Rachel shook her head, "It seems that I went out early in the morning. By the way, miss, are you... going to the store today? Xiao An must be in a hurry."

"Go, you must go, let's pack up and go with the goods."

Before going out, the groom installed a layer of iron chains under each wheel of the carriage to prevent slipping, and the horses pulling the carriage were also replaced with reinforced iron hooves. Because of the heavy snow recently, there have been several carriages in the city. In the event of a rollover accident, it is never too much to be careful.

The north wind was howling, Shen Zhaoxue and Rachel couldn't wait to board the carriage, even though they still felt the cold wind and their fingers were cold.

"Miss, the stove has been turned on in the store, and it won't be so cold when I go to the store in a while."

"En." Shen Zhaoxue rubbed her hands and nodded. "Grandmother has been in good health for the past six months?"

Rachel reported truthfully, "Rachel will go back to visit grandma every once in a while, and talk to her, and talk about the young lady. Grandma is fine recently."

"That's good."

"By the way, Miss, you can tell Rachel what happened on the way, Rachel also wants to learn more."

"Hmm..." Shen Zhaoxue thought for a while, "Do you want to hear the good ones, or the bad ones..."

Rachel's whole face drooped in an instant, her eyes full of worry, "Miss, did you encounter any bad things on the way..."

"Of course, if it wasn't for the general, I might have died a hundred times a thousand times."

"Miss, if something like this happens in the future, you must bring Rachel with you. Rachel will protect Miss with her life."

"Silly girl." Shen Zhaoxue tapped her nose lightly, "Who wants your life."

The carriage was running on the road in the city, the pedestrians hurried with their shoulders curled up and their hands curled up, and the conversation inside the car was lively.

After a while, they arrived at the door of the store. Xiao An was wearing a big gray padded jacket and was leaning on the stove inside. When she saw that it was Madam's carriage, she immediately jumped out to greet her.

"Madam, you are back, you have worked hard all the way."

After Shen Zhaoxue got off the car, she didn't want to stay outside for a moment, and quickly entered the store. A gust of hot air came over her, which made her feel much warmer, "Go unload the goods, and call a couple of helpers."

"Okay!" Xiao An was so excited, she didn't forget to turn her head after taking two steps, "By the way, madam, Miss Su came to look for you yesterday, but you were not in the store at that time."

"Xiuyan?"

"Correct."

"Okay, I see, you go to work first." Shen Zhaoxue thought, if she has time another day, she must visit the shop in person after she is busy with things in the store, after all, Xiuyan is also one of her few trustworthy friends.

With this batch of new goods coming from thousands of miles away in the store, Xiaoan was full of energy, and the three of them worked together to arrange the goods. Shen Zhaoxue then went to re-customize new ones according to the price of Duyancheng Yuxiangfang. The price, this time, you have to add labor costs, which is nothing, the price is three times higher than the ordinary rouge on the market, such an expensive thing, will anyone buy it?

But if the price is suppressed blindly, it will show a state of operation that cannot make ends meet, and sooner or later the store will lose money and close its doors.

"Ma'am, why don't we sell a small part of it at a preferential price first, and if it gets the favor of women in the capital, it won't be too late to raise the price." Xiao An said.

Rachel also has her own new idea, "Yes, yes, miss, I think we can sell local products and Western regions products together in the future. If you want to buy expensive ones, you can buy expensive ones. Ordinary people who can't afford expensive ones can also buy them." Other affordability and the like."

Shen Zhaoxue nodded, accepted the suggestions of the two, and did not forget to praise Rachel, "Rachel, you are getting smarter and smarter now."

"That's not right, this girl has been helping me in the store for half a year." Xiao An echoed.
