Chapter 25 Buying Firewood

"...Grandma also works?" Rong Sheng blinked, thinking he heard it wrong, "Why are you posting so many radish strips?"

That row of shelves is not so big, how many radishes have to be cut to fill it up, Rong Sheng gets dizzy just looking at it.

"Miss is not in good health, so I don't give up and let her work." Qiu Ju took the empty curtain that Rong Sheng handed over, and sighed rarely, "It's just that everyone is busy, and Miss's sword skills are the best. If it were me and Aunt Xique, that shelf might not be able to fill it up in two days... There is no vegetables to eat in winter, so we rely on these radish strips to make pickles." He showed off, "Miss's dried vegetables are delicious!" Slapped clean As soon as Qiu Ju raised her head and saw Rong Sheng staring behind her in a daze, she turned her head, "General... the general is back." At some point, Shen Zhongqing was standing behind them.

Although handsome, Qiu Ju was a little afraid of this cold-faced general with a stern complexion and an invisible aura all over his body.

"Where did the general go this morning?" Recovering his senses, Rong Sheng jumped off the ladder.

"Is this right here?" Just as he was talking, a woodcutter in a gray cloth jacket came in with a large bundle of firewood on his back, "Where do you put the firewood?"

Shen Zhongqing looked at Qiu Ju.

"Master...has he gone to buy firewood?" Rong Sheng was a little taken aback.

"Young lady, go and call Miss." When she came back to her senses, Qiu Ju's voice was filled with joy as she saw people delivering firewood to the door one after another.

With so much firewood, she will no longer have to get up and go to the mountains to collect firewood!

You can also pick up more mushrooms if you save effort.

As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Shen Zhongqing, "No need!" He didn't want Zhen Shiniang to face these rough woodcutters, "You just tell them where to put the firewood, and let Rong Sheng settle down." Turning back He ordered Rongsheng, "Watch and collect the firewood and pay the silver." After speaking, he lifted his foot and entered the house.

Zhen Shiniang was sitting on the kitchen floor chopping radishes, and within a while, she had already cut a large pot.

"Do you eat these radish sticks all winter?" She lowered her head and cut seriously, not being wary of a cold voice behind her, Zhen Shiniang trembled and almost cut her hand, she raised her head in astonishment, Shen Zhongqing was looking at her with a frown.

Why is this man like a cat?

There is no sound at all when walking, and sooner or later he will have a heart attack!

Thinking of being frightened by him twice this morning, Zhen Shiniang muttered fiercely in her heart, put down her knife and stood up, "The general is back, my concubine will set the meal."

Her body was losing blood and her blood pressure was low. Zhen Shiniang usually stood up slowly after sitting for a long time, but today she was startled by Shen Zhongqing and suddenly stood up again, feeling dizzy for a while.

Seeing her staggering, Shen Zhongqing helped her up.

Feeling dizzy, Zhen Shiniang grabbed something indiscriminately, leaned on it without thinking about it, and did a lot of work without eating in the morning. After a while, she was sweating profusely.

"If you're not healthy, don't do these jobs." Shen Zhongqing's voice was unusually soft.

"Miss, miss..." As soon as Zhen Shiniang breathed a sigh of relief, Qiu Ju's excited voice came from outside, "The general bought all the firewood in the market!" Said that there was a small fire in the backyard, enough for them to burn for a year.

As she was speaking, Qiu Ju raised her head and saw Zhen Shiniang leaning against Shen Zhongqing's arms, Shen Zhongqing was gently stroking her bruised chin, Qiu Ju's face flushed red, "Your maidservant didn't see anything! "She turned her back quickly.

This silly girl.

Teased by Qiu Ju, she wanted to laugh, but when Zhen Shiniang came back to her senses, she realized that she was leaning on Shen Zhongqing's arms ambiguously. She broke free from him, "...I'm sorry, my concubine didn't do it on purpose."

They are husband and wife, she can't stand still, it's normal for him to help her, why are you so frightened?

Seeing her fleeing from him like a frightened rabbit, a trace of annoyance flashed across Shen Zhongqing's eyes, his face darkened, and he turned and went into the bathroom.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Zhen Shiniang tried to calm her heartbeat, and called Qiu Ju, "...bring the kettle on the stove to the general."

Qiu Ju ran over with a grin, and answered briskly, "Yes!" She looked at Zhen Shiniang with flying eyes.

Seeing her look of needing a beating, Zhen Shiniang gave her a blank look, turned around and went to pack the food.

Born as a homeless child, Qiu Ju did not understand so many strict rules and regulations in the big mansion. Her fear of Shen Zhongqing was only due to the evil spirit that emanated from him from time to time. At this time, she saw that he bought such a thing early in the morning. When Duochaihe came back, Qiu Ju felt that he was not so scary anymore. Like her young lady, he was both cold outside and hot inside. She poured hot water for him and stood in the middle of the ground secretly looking at his handsome back , the more you look at it, the better it looks, and I feel that the young lady of her family is really blessed, so she casually said, "I can't believe that you are still a famous general. The young lady has never mentioned it, and the maid thought..."

Zhen Shiniang and Xi Que never mentioned Brother Wu's father to her. For the past two years, Qiu Ju had always thought that her young lady was someone who had lost her husband. When the words came to her lips, she realized that the words were unlucky, and quickly swallowed them back. .

He had long felt that someone was staring at him from behind, Shen Zhongqing hated the little maid's disobedience the most, and was about to kick her out, when he heard this, his heart moved, and he blurted out, "...Did grandma never say that she has a husband? What do you think?"

Do you think she is still a big girl with yellow flowers?

For some reason, upon thinking of this, the scene of Zhen Shiniang talking and laughing with a big man early in the morning flashed before Shen Zhongqing's eyes, and the annoyance that had just subsided rushed up again.

How soon?

The son is so old, who would believe that there is no husband?

Qiu Ju blinked, and was about to push back when she remembered Zhen Shiniang's special confession that Jian Wen Jian Wu was never to be mentioned, so she stuck out her tongue in fright, thinking that it was dangerous, but if she really missed it, the lady must have peeled her skin No.

"Why?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Zhongqing stopped the movement of touching the water and turned around.

"My servant only knows that Miss has a husband, but I don't know it's you... I thought... I thought..." Qiu Ju lowered her voice, secretly watching Shen Zhongqing's expression, "Miss is... the husband of the dead people."

Feeling the sudden drop in the surrounding temperature, the evil spirit that frightened her rushed towards her face again, Qiu Ju took a step back subconsciously, and was about to run away, but Shen Zhongqing asked again, "... When did you come here? When did Grandma get blood deficiency? How did she get it?" He was very surprised, why did she accept a servant girl even though she was living a miserable life?

If there is one less mouth to eat at home, life will be much easier. Doesn't she understand this truth?

"My servant is a vagrant. I was rescued by the lady at the door two years ago when I was hungry and passed out. I couldn't help my servant begging, so I stayed..." Just as he was speaking, he heard a magpie calling outside, Qiu Ju responded, turned and ran out .

Standing up slowly, Shen Zhongqing thoughtfully looked at the slender figure in the kitchen with his head lowered and busy through the door, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Just out of sympathy, he took in an orphan girl who had nothing to do with him, making the already difficult life even more difficult. It turned out that she also had such a kind side.

How did he not find out before?
