~~~~~~~~~~

Zhen Shiniang poured a cup of tea for Shen Zhongqing as if nothing had happened, "General, sit down for a while." She turned around and told Magpie, "The kang has been wiped. Go up and take down Qiu Ju's and my luggage and move them to the opposite room. The mattress has been laid out for the general." As she spoke, Zhen Shiniang secretly rejoiced, "Fortunately, Qiu Ju is small, otherwise it would be terrible if he found out that the mattress was a lot too short."

Jian Wu and Jian Wen were always covered with a quilt, which was almost the same as an adult's, but the mattress was much shorter.

Seeing that Zhen Shiniang had no intention of staying in the room, Shen Zhongqing felt inexplicably relieved, but he didn't notice anything strange about Magpie just now.

The magpie winked mischievously, her young lady is really smart.

Because he took off his shoes and got on the kang, he spread the borrowed luggage on the kang, and took out the quilts of Zhen Shiniang and her son from the kang cabinet. When he was about to get off the ground, he saw Zhen Shiniang coming forward to pick up the luggage, and hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Ms. Put it down quickly and let the slave come."

"Let me hold you. You are heavy, so be careful to inflate your baby."

While the two were fighting over each other, Shen Zhongqing stood up and said, "I'll do it." He picked up the two sets of luggage and said, "...where should I put them?" He didn't care about the beauty, and he didn't want to bully the patient.

Of these two women, one is pregnant and the other is frail. Neither of them looks like they can take care of others.

"The general can't do it!"

"Opposite room."

They both shouted at the same time.

Zhen Shiniang glanced at Magpie in confusion, and then understood:

Yes, in her previous life, this should have been a man's job, but here, how could this subordinate's work bother his superior general? She also secretly regretted speaking too quickly and wanted to change her words to stop it, but she saw that Shen Zhongqing had already I picked up my luggage and stepped aside to open the door for him.

"...Why is it so heavy?" Shen Zhongqing frowned as he felt as if he was holding a piece of iron in his hand. He couldn't help but think of her body as light as catkins when he rescued her during the day.

How can such a weak body withstand the pressure of this thick iron-like quilt?

The thought flashed through his mind and he turned back holding the quilt.

"What is the general going to do?" Zhen Shiniang's heart skipped a beat.

Doesn't he want her to sleep in this room?

"You build that bed..." Shen Zhongqing said, rolling up the quilt that Magpie had just laid out. Just by looking at it, he knew that this set was relatively new.

"General, you can't do it!" Magpie hurriedly held down the quilt.

Feeling a cold chill coming from Shen Zhongqing's body, Magpie was so frightened that he immediately shrank his hands, retreated far away, and explained in a stumbling voice, "This set was made when the slaves got married, so it is newer at least."

Shen Zhongqing changed the bedding without saying a word.

The magpie looked at Zhen Shiniang inexplicably.

It's just one night, the evil star can do whatever he wants.

This is his home. Even if he wants to take off the roof, she can't control it. As long as she is not allowed to fulfill her obligations as a wife, after thinking about it, Zhen Shiniang didn't say a word and only used her eyes to signal the magpies. He laid out the bedding for Shen Zhongqing again and followed Shen Zhongqing to the opposite room.

"...How could life be like this?" Putting down his luggage, Shen Zhongqing finally couldn't help but ask what he had been wondering all afternoon.

The voice was so low that Zhen Shiniang didn't hear it clearly, so she looked at him questioningly.

"Remember when you left the General's Mansion, your dowry was several thousand taels." There was half an acre of lotus pond behind. With such a rich foundation, how could she have fallen into such a miserable state in just five years?

Magpie, who had spread the quilt and followed him, heard this and interrupted, "Miss, you are..." As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhen Shiniang stared back.

The magpie pouted and stepped aside aggrievedly.

Looking from Magpie's face to Zhen Shiniang's face, Shen Zhongqing understood instantly. He realized that he had asked a stupid question.

Her illness is like a bottomless pit, and no amount of money is enough to deal with it.

Thinking of this, his heart twitched for no reason.

Seeing that there seemed to be an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes, Zhen Shiniang blinked and took a closer look. It turned out that she was dazzled. She faced a pair of cold eyes, which were exactly the same as when she first met, because she saw that he was looking at himself. He said calmly, "...I squandered all the money in less than a year."

This is not a lie. Less than a year after coming here, she suffered a hemorrhagic collapse due to giving birth to Jian Wen and Jian Wu, and all the money was spent on her.

Shen Zhongqing's face instantly darkened, and he strode out with a dark face.

I don't know why he suddenly changed his face. Magpie looked at Zhen Shiniang in surprise. To be honest, she was scared to death of the evil aura that Shen Zhongqing would unconsciously exude when he got angry.

Zhen Shiniang chased her to the door, "...the hot water has been boiled, and the bathroom is just around the corner from the kitchen."

This is his home, and he knows where the bathroom is better than anyone else. Shen Zhongqing strode into the bathroom without looking back.

"Miss, don't you need to go over and wait on me?" Magpie whispered in Zhen Shiniang's ear.

I remember that when we were in the Number One Scholar's Mansion, everyone was rushing to serve him. This was a rare opportunity to get close to Shen Zhongqing.

Zhen Shiniang was unaware of Magpie's thoughts. She shook her head and said uncertainly, "He didn't say it, so he probably didn't need it, right?" Although she said she understood, Zhen Shiniang actually had only a limited understanding of the rules and etiquette in ancient mansions. , watched him enter the bathroom, with no intention of letting anyone serve him, so he felt relieved, turned around and closed the door tightly, pulled Magpie to the kang, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you let Brother Wen and Brother Wu live here?" Why did you let Rongzheng get promoted again?"

Jian Wu and Jian Wen seemed to be cut from the same mold as Shen Zhongqing. Once Rong Sheng saw him, he would never do what he thought.

"Brother Wen and Wu didn't do it. He clamored to come back with the slave, saying that he couldn't sleep without listening to the story. The slave finally agreed after he promised to come back first, settle the guests, and pick them up..." Magpie pointed. Backyard, "At this time, Qiu Ju has probably taken them to the backyard." There is a small corner door behind the pond that can lead to the magpie's house.

"What I said..." Zhen Shiniang suddenly realized, "Okay, why did you let Rong Sheng over so quickly? Fortunately, I had planned to put Rong Sheng in the backyard and let Qiu Ju light the fire."

There are four rooms in the backyard, two for making donkey-hide gelatin, and a small kitchen. The other room was originally occupied by Qiu Ju. After the nanny left, Qiu Ju moved into the front room and it has been vacant ever since.

Magpie thought of something and lowered his voice, "When the general was walking by the pond just now, Brother Wen and Brother Wu went to take a look secretly."

"What?" Zhen Shiniang was excited, "Didn't they say anything?" These two little guys are very clever. Once they find that Shen Zhongqing looks exactly like them, it's hard to say they won't think of something.

"I'm so envious..." Magpie shook his head in amusement, "Even the slaves threatened that he was a murderous general, but they were not afraid. They just said that when they grow up, they want to be such a majestic general." Shen Zhongqing looks handsome. , but his expression was extremely cold, and his whole body exuded a chill that would repel people thousands of miles away. It was probably because he was leading the troops. When he was not smiling, he naturally had an intimidating aura.

Just like just now, his face darkened and the magpie's whole body trembled.

"... Leng Cheng is like this, and there are still people who want to learn from him. Like father, like son." Hearing that the two little guys didn't reject Shen Zhongqing at all, Zhen Shiniang immediately felt jealous in her heart, and her tone was sour. of.
