The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

As soon as the new product was released, as expected, there was a big splash in the capital. In the cold winter, people could still see people coming and going in their store, the threshold was almost broken, and there was an endless stream of customers.

The locals living in the capital are more or less wealthy, especially those elderly ladies who love to compare themselves with each other, and they will not let go of this good opportunity. Whoever comes with expensive rouge products will be superior.

The store is not staffed enough, Shen Zhaoxue thought that maybe three or two more staff would be added, especially in such a crowded situation, a group of people with dirty hands and feet might sneak in, so that It is also very common.

At this moment, an "uninvited guest" suddenly came to the store, rolled up his sleeves without saying a word, "Zhaoxue, I'm here to help you."

"Xiuyan." He was so busy that he couldn't breathe, when he looked up and saw it was Xiuyan, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Stop staring blankly, hurry up and work, if there is anything I need to do, just tell me." Su Xiuyan patted Shen Zhaoxue on the shoulder angrily.

"Hmm!" She froze for a moment, then nodded.

After about an hour of non-stop and busy work, the crowd gradually dispersed. The reason is that today’s limited offers have all been sold out, and those who haven’t bought can only come back tomorrow.

The rest of the scene was a mess, the floor of the store was full of black marks and melted snow, just as Xiao An wanted to take a breath, he got up and cleaned it non-stop, in case any expensive lady came in When shopping, if you accidentally slipped and slipped your waist, you can't afford it.

"Miss, there are baked sweet potatoes on the opposite side, I'll go and buy some." Rachel suggested.

Seeing this, Su Xiuyan was not polite to her, "Buy a few more, I want to eat two!"

"It's okay, Miss Su." Rachel said, she had already disappeared, and looking around, this girl was already standing anxiously in front of the roasted sweet potato vendor, waiting.

While cleaning, Xiao An didn't forget to come and get close to Su Xiuyan. He brought a chair behind her and said earnestly, "Miss Su, please sit down, please sit down, you are welcome."

With Ms. Su around, he became more motivated to work.

"Zhaoxue, you must have gone through a lot of hardships and obstacles along the way." Su Xiuyan didn't mention what she was waiting for at the gate of the city that morning, and now, she felt that it would be better to bury it in her heart.

"Xiuyan, I made you worry."

Su Xiuyan shook her head again and again, "I'm worried about you, isn't it normal, you are my...good friend."

Shen Zhaoxue pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes."

"Oh, by the way, did you leave me something good? I just greeted those guests for you, but I didn't even have time to buy one." Su Xiuyan pouted and complained a little.

Shen Zhaoxue had already prepared it, and took out a wooden box from the table below. The surface of the wooden box was carefully carved and painted, lifelike, and the inside was even more unique when opened, almost a complete set of supplies for makeup.

"It was deliberately brought back for you, do you like it?"

Su Xiuyan nodded repeatedly, the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden, as long as she was a girl who loves beauty, she couldn't escape the temptation to these things.

"Thank you Zhaoxue, I like it very much." Su Xiuyan held the wooden box to her chest, smiling innocently like a little girl who got her favorite candy.

"The freshly baked sweet potatoes are here!" Rachel ran in from outside holding the steaming sweet potatoes she just bought, and she didn't forget to shake the snow off her shoes when she was at the door.

At this time, the sky outside has greeted dusk, and the nearby merchants have already lit their lights. In this situation, eating delicious roasted sweet potatoes leisurely and comfortably, the whole body becomes warm.

Xiaoan ate big mouthfuls, his whole body was scalded to the point of dancing, his hands and feet were dancing, the heat of the roasted sweet potatoes blinded his eyesight, Rachel quickly joked when she saw it, "Look at you, there is a sweet potato stand opposite, if you think it's not enough, you can go again Go bake some."

"Zhaoxue, tell me, what did you see and do when you went to the Western Regions." Su Xiuyan suddenly remembered and asked while eating.

"Hmm..." Shen Zhaoxue held the hot roasted sweet potatoes in both hands, and began to recall when she just arrived in the Western Regions two months ago, and the bits and pieces that happened there are still clearly vivid in her memory, as if everything happened just yesterday like that.

"The people in the Western Regions look different from ours, and they can be easily distinguished. Also, the princesses of the Kucha Kingdom are very beautiful. Although Xiuyan and you are also very beautiful, they are different from us in the Central Plains. Another beauty of children."

"The Kucha Kingdom...is the largest country in the Western Regions. I never thought Zhaoxue would meet their princess." Su Xiuyan laughed repeatedly.

However, Shen Zhaoxue did not mention that she and the general were arrested and imprisoned for two days, because it would be embarrassing and embarrassing to say so.

Moreover, the spread of these things is not good for the general's reputation. She is the general's wife, wife, and naturally has the duty to protect the general's reputation.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two parties went back to their respective mansions. Su Xiuyan walked home with the wooden box that Zhaoxue gave her in small steps. She couldn't wait to try it out, but she was stopped by her father on the way .

"It's so cold, where did you go out to play? You came back so late."

"Father~" Su Xiuyan turned around and stepped forward, "Guess what this is?"

"I can't guess your father."

"It's boring." But Su Xiuyan still couldn't wait to show it off to Su Guogong, "This is the rouge gouache that Zhaoxue brought back from the Western Regions for me, how about it?"

"Zhaoxue? General Sima's wife?"

"correct."

Su Guogong stroked his beard, it seems that Xiuyan is really interested in General Sima, and the frequent contact with the general's wife is probably for the purpose of building a good relationship in the future. When he comes down early next time and is free, he has to talk to Sima Boyi In this matter, now only her daughter's marriage is concerned, so that he can feel at ease and have nothing to worry about.

"Okay, go back to your room and rest early."

"Okay, Daddy."

Shen Zhaoxue went back early to take a rest. After a busy day, she couldn't hold back her bones and felt sore all over. Before going to bed, she asked Rachel to massage her waist, so she could lie down comfortably.

When Sima Yun came back, Rachel happened to come out of Shen Zhaoxue's room, and the candles in the room had already been blown out.

When Rachel ran into the general, she saluted first, and then asked, "Is the general looking for a young lady?"

Sima Yun paused and asked, "Is she asleep?"

Rachel nodded, "Miss was tired all day, and she was still complaining of low back pain before going to bed. I rubbed it to make it better."

"I have some essential oils, you can get some with me and give them to her tomorrow." After speaking, Sima Yun turned and walked towards the wing.

Rachel was a little slow to react, and hurriedly followed up, "...Yes, General."

No one would have expected that an uninvited guest would arrive in the capital in the middle of the night without any precautions.

Aria didn't want to be too ostentatious at first, so she ordered her servants to find the best and most expensive inn in the capital to stay in, but even so, they showed up wearing veils, strange clothes and strange accents, which still caught the attention of the inn staff.

Could this group of people be from the Western Regions?Some people guessed so.

Early the next morning, according to the information inquired by the servant, Aria drove a carriage to Sima Mansion, the first destination.

Along the way, many ordinary people in the city watched, because their looks and strange costumes were too eye-catching, which made people have to arouse daydreams and various speculations.

Some people say that because of General Sima's trip to the Western Regions, the relationship between the Western Regions and the Central Plains has broken the ice. Now the envoys from the Western Regions have come to Beijing to seek peace and development.

Others said that it was because General Sima and the others caused trouble in the Western Regions, and now they are being chased over.

There are different opinions, each with their own opinions.

The general had already gone to the training ground. He had been away from his army for several months, and he had to correct his laziness.

Even the master went early in the morning. After packing up, Shen Zhaoxue and Rachel were ready to go out to the store. As soon as they walked to the door, Shen Zhaoxue suddenly remembered that she had left something behind, and hurriedly ordered Rachel to help her get it out. , and I waited at the door.

Not long after Rachel returned, a large group of people approached here not far away, looking menacing and full of posture. Shen Zhaoxue also recognized the clothes of those people at a glance, and couldn't help but have a guess. Could the person in the carriage be...

Without the slightest doubt, the team stopped in front of Sima Mansion, and Shen Zhaoxue's heart tensed instantly.

A maid hurriedly stepped forward to lift the curtain, stretched out her hand to help the woman inside out, and called out, "Your Highness, we are here."

Sure enough it was her!

Aria slowly got out of the car, the long journey did not affect her beauty in the slightest.

Shen Zhaoxue was stunned for a long while before going to salute, "Zhaoxue...I don't know that Her Highness the Princess is coming, so I am far away from welcoming you."

Aria handed the cloak to the servant beside her, walked closer to Shen Zhaoxue, and whispered in her ear, "How about it, do you feel a sense of crisis in your heart when you see this princess? After all, I want to be with you." Where are you fighting for your husband?"

Shen Zhaoxue bit her lip, and to be honest, she really felt a very heavy sense of crisis. If she really wanted to compete with this princess, how could she be her opponent? First of all, she lost a lot in terms of identity. cut.

"Outside...it's cold outside, Your Highness, please come inside..." Shen Zhaoxue's voice was trembling, it was unknown whether it was because of the cold weather or too nervous.

"No, the princess is going to enter the palace today, and I will pay a special visit another day." As soon as I said this, there was a sound of horseshoes not far away, and Shen Zhaoxue followed her reputation. Have you heard the news that Princess Qiuci is coming to Beijing?

"Yo, Sima Yun!" Aria said.

For some reason, hearing the princess call the general by his name, Shen Zhaoxue felt very uncomfortable, as if her own things were taken over by someone.

Sima Yun got down from the horse, holding the rein with one hand, a little surprised, "Why is Your Highness here?"

Aria changed the subject, with a smirk in her eyes, "Let me see if the thing I've been looking forward to for a long time has happened..."

Sima Yun froze immediately, subconsciously flustered and looked at Shen Zhaoxue, but she was confused and couldn't understand what the two were talking about.
