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

That row of shelves was not that big. How many radishes would have to be cut to fill it up? Rong Sheng got angry just looking at it.

"The young lady is not in good health, so I don't want to let her work." Qiu Ju took the empty curtain from Rong Sheng and sighed rarely, "Everyone is busy, and the young lady has the best swordsmanship. If it were Aunt Magpie and I, the shelf might not be full in two days... There is no vegetables to eat in winter, so we rely on these radish strips to make pickles." He showed off, "The peeled vegetables made by Miss are delicious!" Take a picture. There were debris on the curtain. Qiu Ju looked up and saw Rong Sheng looking behind her in a daze. She turned her head and said, "General... the general is back." At some point, Shen Zhongqing was standing behind them.

Although he was handsome, Qiu Ju was a little scared of this cold-faced general with a stern face and an invisible aura.

"Where did the general go this morning?" After regaining his composure, Rong Sheng jumped off the ladder.

"Is this right here?" Just as he was talking, a woodcutter wearing a gray cloth jacket walked in carrying a large bundle of firewood. "Where to put the firewood?"

Shen Zhongqing looked at Qiu Ju.

"Is... uncle going to buy firewood?" Rong Sheng was a little surprised.

"Slave, go call the lady." After coming back to her senses, she saw people delivering firewood to the door one after another. Qiu Ju's voice was full of joy.

With so much firewood, she no longer has to get up from the mountains to collect firewood!

You can save time and pick up more mushrooms.

As soon as he turned around, Shen Zhongqing stopped him, "No!" He didn't want Zhen Shiniang to face these crude woodcutters, "Just tell them where to put the firewood and let Rong Sheng settle down." Turning around. He told Rong Sheng, "Please put away the firewood and pay the money." After saying that, he walked into the house.

Zhen Shiniang was sitting on the kitchen floor cutting radishes. In a short time, she had cut a large pot.

"Have you been eating these radish sticks all winter?" She lowered her head and cut it seriously, but she didn't pay attention to a cold voice behind her. Zhen Shiniang shivered and almost cut her hand. She raised her head in surprise, and Shen Zhongqing was looking at her with a frown.

How does this person look like a cat?

There is no sound at all when walking. Sooner or later he will scare me into having a heart attack!

Thinking of being frightened by him twice this morning, Zhen Shiniang muttered something fiercely in her heart, put down the knife and stood up, "The general is back, I will prepare the food right now."

She was losing blood and her blood pressure was low. Zhen Shiniang usually stood up slowly after sitting for a long time. Today, she was frightened by Shen Zhongqing and suddenly stood up again. She felt dizzy.

Seeing her staggering, Shen Zhongqing supported her.

With her head feeling dizzy, Zhen Shiniang grabbed something at random and grabbed it without thinking about what it was. She had been doing a lot of work without eating early in the morning. In just a short while, she broke out in a sweat.

"If your health is not good, don't do these jobs." Shen Zhongqing's voice was rare and soft.

"Miss, Miss..." Just as Zhen Shiniang took a breath, Qiu Ju's excited voice came from outside, "The general bought all the firewood from the market!" The pile of firewood in the west corner was full. He said that there was even a small amount of stamping in the backyard, which was enough to keep them on fire for a year.

As she spoke, Qiu Ju looked up and saw Zhen Shiniang leaning in Shen Zhongqing's arms. Shen Zhongqing was gently stroking her purple chin. Qiu Ju's face turned red, "I didn't see anything!" "She quickly turned her back.

This silly girl.

Qiu Ju made her want to laugh. When Zhen Shiniang came back to her senses, she realized that she was leaning ambiguously on Shen Zhongqing's arms. She broke away from him and said, "...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

They were a couple, but it was normal for him to help her when she couldn't stand firmly. How could she be so frightened?

Seeing her hiding away from him like a frightened rabbit, Shen Zhongqing's eyes instantly flashed with annoyance, his face darkened, and he turned around and entered the bathroom.

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

Qiu Ju ran over with a smile and responded briskly, "Yes!" She looked at Zhen Shiniang with a flying look in her eyes.

Seeing her look of needing a beating, Zhen Shiniang rolled her eyes at her and turned around to put away the food.

Qiu Ju was born as a street child, but she didn't understand the strict hierarchical rules in the mansion like Xie Qie. Her fear of Shen Zhongqing was just due to the evil spirit that he exuded from time to time. At this time, she saw that he bought such a thing so early in the morning. When Du Chaihe came back, Qiu Ju felt that he was not so scary anymore. Like her young lady, he was both cold on the outside and hot on the inside. She poured hot water for him and stood in the middle of the ground secretly watching his handsome back. , the more I looked at it, the better it looked. I felt that the young lady in her family was really lucky, so she said casually, "I can't believe that you are actually a famous general. The young lady never mentioned it. I thought..."

Zhen Shiniang and Magpie never mentioned Brother Wu Gewen's father to her. For the past two years, Qiu Ju had always thought that her young lady was a man whose husband died. When the words came to her lips, she remembered that these words were unlucky and hurriedly swallowed them back. .

Shen Zhongqing had long felt that someone was staring at him from behind. Shen Zhongqing hated the little maid for not obeying the rules and was about to kick her out. After hearing this, her heart moved and she blurted out, "...Does grandma never say that she has a husband?" What do you think?"

Do you think she is still a young girl?

For some reason, when Shen Zhongqing thought of this, the scene of Zhen Shiniang chatting and laughing with a grown man early in the morning flashed before Shen Zhongqing's eyes, and the irritation that had just subsided suddenly came back to him.

When?

The son is already so old, who would believe that he doesn’t have a husband?

Qiu Ju blinked and was about to push back when she remembered that Zhen Shiniang had specifically told her not to mention anything about Jian Wen and Jian Wu. She was so scared that she stuck out her tongue. No.

"What?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Zhongqing stopped teasing and turned around.

"This slave only knows that the young lady has a husband, but she doesn't know that it's you... she thought... thought..." Qiu Ju lowered her voice and secretly glanced at Shen Zhongqing's expression, "The young lady is... the husband of a dead man. Where are the people."

Feeling that the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, the evil spirit that frightened her came towards her again. Qiu Ju subconsciously took a step back and was about to run away when she heard Shen Zhongqing ask again, "...when did you get here?" When did grandma get anemia? How did she get it?" He was very surprised. She was obviously living a very miserable life, so why did she still take in a maid?

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

"This slave is a wandering child. He was rescued by the young lady two years ago when he was hungry and fainted at the door. I couldn't help but beg, so I stayed..." As she was talking, she heard a magpie calling outside. Qiu Ju responded, turned around and ran out. .

Slowly standing up straight, Shen Zhongqing looked thoughtfully at the slender figure with his head lowered and busy in the kitchen 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 his already difficult life even more difficult. It turned out that she actually had such a kind side.

How come he hadn't noticed it before?
