The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

It seems that nothing major has happened recently, everything is as calm as water, but after the new year, the emperor's succession caused a lot of controversy. If there is an heir, this queen, he must also be established.

After a few days of stalemate, the Empress Dowager Ceremony was officially held, and Su Guogong's status in the court suddenly became more noble. The Shen family brought a little bit of glory.

At the beginning of March, spring comes quietly, everywhere is full of vitality, and the outside of the city is dyed with a spring color. Even the withered red nan in the courtyard has new green shoots, and the weather is gradually warming up.

Today, Sima Yun was going to take Shen Zhaoxue to enjoy the peach blossoms outside the city, the two of them were ready to go early in the morning, the heavy cotton-padded clothes were replaced by a small fleece jacket, and they were light-weight.

Rachel carefully packed the items that the lady needed to bring when she went out, put them in a bag, and delivered them to the door. Shen Zhaoxue reached out to take them, and handed them to Sima Yun naturally, and then she put them into the carriage.

"Miss, be careful on the road."

"I'll pay attention to it, don't give it away either, help Xiaoan with more business in the store." Shen Zhaoxue did not forget to explain.

Rachel nodded, "Miss, I will, don't worry, miss, go outside the city with the general to relax, and Rachel will take care of everything at home."

"En." Shen Zhaoxue was relieved now, and turned to get in the car. Sima Yun sat in the driver's seat and stretched out a hand to her, and then felt a strong traction, and Shen Zhaoxue was taken into the car.

Sima Yun prepared the reins in his hand, and reminded, "Sit down and get ready to go."

"Okay!" Shen Zhaoxue sat inside and responded.

After getting a response, the next moment, he waved the reins to control the direction of the carriage, and the wheels rolled accordingly, sweeping up a burst of dust.

Rachel stood outside the door and watched for a long time, until she could no longer see half of the shadow in her field of vision, then she turned and went in satisfied.

The carriage drove onto the main road in the capital, and there were all kinds of people everywhere, some wandering, some in a hurry, and some housewives bargaining with vendors.

Shen Zhaoxue opened the car window curtain a little bit, poked out half of her face, and looked at the street scene outside. Although her ears were full of noise, her heart felt very peaceful.

According to the general, there is a peach grove ten miles outside the city, which belongs to her mother's natal family, and she hasn't been there for many years. It just so happens that she is in the capital this time, and she wants to take her to see it.

About half an hour after leaving the city, I finally arrived at my destination after bypassing several country roads.

The entrance in front of the peach forest is a fence gate. In front of the gate, there is an elderly, gray-haired grandfather, who stood there from a long distance to greet him, "General, General."

Sima Yun stopped the carriage, and his memory was awakened, "Uncle." Then he jumped off the carriage, not forgetting to help Shen Zhaoxue get off.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my grandmother's old uncle who has been managing this peach grove for decades." Sima Yun said.

Shen Zhaoxue nodded and smiled slightly, "Hi, uncle."

"This is...the general's wife." The old man's fingers trembled excitedly.

Looking around, just standing outside, the eyes are already filled with a piece of pale pink peach blossom, and the tip of the nose is lingering with a fragrance, which seems to be boundless.

"Let's go, let's go in." Sima Yun put his arms around Shen Zhaoxue's shoulders.

The old uncle walked in front and led the way, Shen Zhaoxue and Sima Yun followed behind, she suddenly gave Sima Yun a look, and asked in a low voice, "Does the old uncle know?"

"Know what?" Sima Yun was confused.

"That's the one..." Shen Zhaoxue couldn't say it out loud, so she simply pointed at her chest with her finger.

Sima Yun suddenly became embarrassed, his cheeks flushed, he quickly grabbed Shen Zhaoxue's hand, and answered in a low voice, "I don't know."

"Oh..." Shen Zhaoxue nodded.

I don't know why, but I thought the general's appearance just now was very funny, so I sneaked a sneaky glance at her, and found that the general's ears were also red.

Walking in the peach forest, looking around, you will be surrounded by peach trees full of trees, pink, tender, tranquil, and fragrant, and your mood will become better at the same time.

There is a small wooden house in the depths of the peach forest, the closer it is, the clearer it is.

The old uncle said that he had already packed them up before they arrived, and the old grandfather led the two of them to the hut step by step with a trembling body, and took out the key to open the door.

"General, if you and your wife need anything else, just ask."

Sima Yun turned around and said, "Old man, you've worked hard too, go back and have a good rest in the next two days."

"Hey, hey, good." The old man smiled gratifiedly, remembering that when he saw the general more than ten years ago, he was just a childish child, and now he has grown into a great general who has made great military achievements in defending his family and the country. , presumably the eldest lady is in the spirit of the sky, and she is also very relieved.

"That's right, old man, we've left this place to us, you can go back and rest, don't worry about us." Shen Zhaoxue said.

After seeing off the old uncle, the two of them were left in front of the wooden house.

Shen Zhaoxue sighed, feeling from the bottom of her heart... "The old uncle is really a simple old man."

"That's right." Sima Yun raised his eyebrows, "Taking care of this peach grove has been like a day for decades."

"In the future when we have time, let's visit his old man more often." Shen Zhaoxue said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Sima Yun raised the corner of his mouth and took her hand, "Let's go in and have a look."

The furnishings inside the wooden house are relatively simple, there is no extra furniture, but there are all internal organs, and there is even a small kitchen. Putting down the burden, Shen Zhaoxue rushed over, "Husband, we can cook here!"

Sima Yun leaned against the door and looked at her quietly, with a doting smile in his eyes, "Then do you like this place?"

"I like it." Shen Zhaoxue replied without hesitation.

There was a set of tea sets on the small square bamboo table, and the water in the teapot was still warm, which showed that the old man was careful and thoughtful in his work. Shen Zhaoxue pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up two teacups and turned them over, and served them again. Pick up the teapot and pour two cups of tea.

Sima Yun also came over, pulled out a chair and sat in front of her, Shen Zhaoxue handed her a cup of tea, "Taste."

Picking up the teacup, I first sniffed it at the tip of my nose, it was Longjing tea.

I can't wait to take a sip, the warm liquid is slippery on the tip of the tongue, with a scent of tea leaves, and the aftertaste is endless.

"Good tea." Sima Yun said, giving a very pertinent evaluation.

Shen Zhaoxue also nodded in agreement, and at this moment, she raised her eyes, and happened to see out of the window, a breeze blew up, the petals were flying, and the scenery was very beautiful.

"Husband."

"Huh?" Sima Yun looked up at her.

Shen Zhaoxue pointed out, "The falling flowers outside are so beautiful."

"Go out and wait?"

"Okay!" Shen Zhaoxue nodded vigorously.

The two got up and went out. Before going out, Shen Zhaoxue accidentally found a guzheng on the bamboo stand, and her eyes were attracted to it. After Sima Yun went out, she realized that Zhaoxue had not come out, and turned back again. Seeing her standing in front of a guzheng.

"That's my mother's." A voice came from behind.

Shen Zhaoxue turned her head, "Husband..."

Sima Yun stepped forward with a smile on his eyes, "Do you want to try?"

Shen Zhaoxue pursed her lips, and asked tentatively, "Can I try?"

"Of course." Sima Yun said, and helped her take down a guzheng with one hand.

Before she got married, one of Shen Zhaoxue's hobbies was playing the guzheng. Because she was weak and often got sick, she didn't like to go out, so she usually played the piano, read books and embroidered to pass the time.

I haven't touched this thing for a year now, I don't know if it's unfamiliar, seeing her staring at her like this, Shen Zhaoxue feels a little guilty and nervous.

After trying to play it a couple of times, I felt like I found it again. This time, Sima Yun leaned on the pillar and was fascinated by it. "Didn't you say before that you can't sing or sing?" playing music?"

Shen Zhaoxue stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Be humble. Besides, I'm not proficient. Compared with my sister, I'm still far behind." At the palace dinner, he said that he had no talent.

Sima Yun smiled, "My wife plays really well...and she sings really well."

Shen Zhaoxue blushed, "How about I play the piano and my husband dance the sword?"

"Very good." Sima Yun readily agreed.

As the song begins, the zither sounds, and Sima Yun dances his sword among the peach trees. His posture is sometimes graceful, and sometimes he is upright and sonorous.Between the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, bursts of peach blossoms danced.

Shen Zhaoxue is playing the piano, looking up at the general from time to time, with a smile in her eyes, full of love. Since she married into the general's mansion, she has changed from the initial attitude of passing by and avoiding the world, to the present pursuit of happiness and longing to stay with the general for a lifetime Desire, after experiencing too many hardships of life and death, but now it is the most precious and beautiful.

If it's possible, she really wants to live this kind of life with the general, playing the piano and dancing the sword, enjoying the flowers and the moon, without any worries.

There is also some peach blossom wine in the wooden house, which is freshly brewed, mellow and sweet, and it will not be intoxicating if you drink too much.

The two found two small bowls, and sat on the wooden floor under the eaves, drinking peach blossom wine, enjoying the tranquility and beauty here.

"Husband, tell me," Shen Zhaoxue thought while holding the wine, "will we find such a place in the future to live a peaceful and ordinary life?"

Sima Yun looked at her with a smile on his face, "Do you want to live a life like that?"

Shen Zhaoxue nodded seriously, "I think that as long as we live in seclusion, no one will find out your identity, husband, and our secret will never be revealed."

Hearing this, Sima Yun put down the small bowl, put his hands on the wooden floor, and looked up at the blue sky in the distance ahead, "Being with me like this...do you regret it?"

Shen Zhaoxue was stunned, a little surprised, she also put down the bowl in her hand, looked into the distance, with a smile on her face, "I don't regret it." Her tone was soft, but very determined.

Sima Yun turned his head to look at her, couldn't help but put his arms around her head and kissed her on the forehead.
