Although Lu Kaiyan promised not to pursue Qianfo Temple again, he still planned to investigate thoroughly in private. But these days, he also calmed down and thought about it carefully. After seven or eight days of investigating the Qianfo Temple matter, he guessed that there were new signs.
Since there is nothing to be gained from holding on so tightly, why not relax a little and wait for the other party to relax and reveal the flaw, and are you afraid that you will not be able to catch the person? Even if it cannot be made public because of Master Jueming, it is better than not knowing anything at all.
Xue Shao here quickly approached him to discuss making winter clothes for the soldiers. Although Lu Kaiyan had doubts about his character for the time being, in the face of such important matters, he was not ambiguous at all. After listening to Xue Shao's plan
After that, he also thought it was a good idea. After the two discussed in the study, they listed some possible problems to be safe. Lu Kaiyan felt that it was feasible for the government to come forward on this matter, so he quickly found his subordinates to discuss the matter.
.
So, the government issued an official document early the next morning.
What Qingrong means is not to wait for the day to pay people wages, but to pay them according to the number of pieces. As long as the work is completed, you can get the money. No matter how much, all these will be registered in the book. In this way, the people do not have to worry about the government defaulting on wages and dare not
Sign up to participate. Of course, because military officers are divided into different grades, and they do not all use the same regulations, Xue Shao still asked the embroiderer of the Kang family to sew another batch. Xue Shao compared this with Luca
As soon as Yan said it, he got his approval, so he immediately had someone make detailed changes to the official document.
An Qilang freed up the Anjia and Kangjia clothing workshops, and cooperated very cooperatively by asking his own female relatives to come and join in the fun, not to mention the relatives of the Kang family. They were originally from Xizhou, so they could be considered a family.
The role of "heading". Some people who were thinking about making a living did not hesitate to get the fabric. Seeing that there were more people, there was no need to worry about not being able to make it.
In winter, most people stayed at home to avoid the cold and had nothing to do. Qingrong and Yun Niang and the others started sewing at home, but she did it for Xue Shao. A few days ago, Qingrong got a nice fur
, thinking of making a cloak for Xue Shao to keep out the cold, Azhen and the others sewed winter clothes for the soldiers. Qingrong also chose a piece of fur for each of them and made them fur clothes. He also joked that he must wear them for the festival this year.
Give them a generous reward and ask them what they want.
Yun Niang felt that she didn't want anything in particular, "It's all my wife's wish. I think everything is fine with me."
Songyue and Azhen also nodded and said yes. Qingrong was very generous to his servants, let alone a few of them. If he really wanted something, he would ask her for it, and Qingrong would rarely refuse.
In fact, Qingrong's needlework is pretty good, but it's still a bit laborious to make this fur coat. Azhen took a look and said, "Last time I went to the Kang family's clothing shop, and I saw they also had fur items there. Madam, I want
You don’t have to do it yourself if you want, just send it to the store.”
Xue Shao now has no shortage of clothes to keep out the cold, but she wanted to make some for him. Qingrong shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, I can just pass the time. Besides, this is also my intention."
Songyue smiled and said, "If Alang knew that my wife missed him like this, I wouldn't be very happy."
Qingrong was amused, "It's incredible, now Songyue's mouth is as good as Azhen's. Even I arranged it. Could it be that I learned bad things from her?"
Yun Niang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't talk about it, Madam, Ah Zhen is really much more well-behaved now."
Qingrong joked: "Really? When did Zhen start hiding something in her heart?"
After saying that, the three of them all looked at A-Zhen. A-Zhen looked a little embarrassed to them. Her round and cute little face turned red instantly. She lowered her head and said, "No way! Sister Yun."
Sister will talk nonsense!"
Qingrong looked at her and was thinking about one thing. Songyue and Azhen had been with her since they were children. Songyue was the oldest, and Azhen was as old as her and was old enough to get married.
Although Qingrong misses them and is reluctant to let them get married and leave, she doesn't want to force them. Although Yun Niang has told her that she doesn't want to marry, people's thoughts will always change after different experiences, so Qingrong doesn't
I really believed that if she wanted to, Qingrong would be able to make the decision for her... As for Songyue and Azhen, Qingrong planned to talk to them sometime and ask them what they wanted.
Looking at the smiling faces of several people, Qingrong couldn't help but think of "Jiang Xuniang" who was nearby but living alone... Although the last time I saw her, the furnishings in the house were ordinary and her clothes were very simple, which fit her current "commoner"
"Her identity is not conspicuous. Although it is not as good as before, she should still have enough food and clothing.
Qingrong thought for a while and asked Yun Niang to find two fox skins. "Send this fox skin to Kang's Clothing Shop and have two coats made." Qingrong paused and said: "
Send it to Mrs. Jiang then."
Yun Niang and the others didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.
Azhen offered to go, "Madam, let me go! I have been to that place and I know the way."
Qingrong couldn't help but laugh, "Then you can take a trip."
Azhen happily agreed.
Yun Niang quickly found the fox skin, and A-Zhen took the things to the Kang family's shop. The shop owner had seen A-Zhen and knew that she was the maid next to the official wife. It seemed that she was the one
The official wife wanted to make some clothes, so she treated A-Zhen very attentively and said, "Don't worry, little lady, we will definitely do it as you say."
Seeing that Azhen had finished her business, she couldn't help but take a look around the store. She was good at talking, and she soon got into a lively conversation with the store owner. It didn't take long for her to figure out who the owner was and who was in the store.
Are you in charge? How many sons are there at home? I asked about which one comes often and so on.
After all this hard work, the sun is setting over the mountains.
As soon as A-Zhen saw what was going on outside and wanted to stop chatting, she hurried back.
She happened to meet Xue Shao who was coming back outside, and Xue Chang was following behind. Azhen stepped forward and said politely: "Alang!"
"If you don't serve me in front of my wife, why are you here?"
Azhen said honestly: "My wife asked me to send two pieces of leather to the market to make clothes."
Xue Shao just nodded when he heard the words and went in. Xue Chang fell behind. Seeing A Zhen's guilty look, he whispered: "Did you sneak away to play?"
Azhen couldn't help but glare at him. She really forgot the time, but she didn't delay the lady's instructions at all! She said firmly: "It has nothing to do with you!" If the lady wanted to punish her, she would admit it, so there was no need for him.
explain!
After saying that, he immediately followed him and ran away without a trace, leaving Xue Chang still stunned. He couldn't help but think to himself, is he so angry?
…
Qingrong waited for Xue Shao to come back and had dinner together, then took him to measure the size.
She found that Xue Shao had lost a lot of weight this year, and his waist was also thinner. She thought he was traveling outside. She couldn't help but feel distressed and warned: "I know you have to be busy with business, but you must also remember to eat on time, take a good rest, and don't go outside."
Sometimes the bones in my body are broken due to teasing."
Xue Shao smiled nonchalantly, he was also a military commander after all, how could he be so delicate? It would be okay if he lived a rough life, but Qingrong's concern for him made him feel very much.
Seeing him like this, Qingrong smiled helplessly and said softly: "I'm serious, you have to take it to heart and don't take it lightly. You are young now, and all kinds of problems will come out when you get older."
Xue Shao hugged her into his arms, caressed her back and said, "Okay."
Without waiting for Qingrong to speak, he added: "But your body is weaker than mine, so you should take good care of your body." After saying that, he held Qingrong's hand, "Look at how cold your hands are.
You'd better ask a doctor to take a look and let him treat you."
The tonic medicine that Qingrong took when he was in the capital has now stopped. Xue Shao felt that he should continue to take care of him as before. He thought that Qingrong would definitely stay with him until he grew old.
"It's not the first time, it's nothing important." In fact, she didn't feel any different from before after not taking medicine for these few months, and she felt a little more comfortable because she didn't have to smell the medicine every day, so she really
I don’t want to continue eating.
Xue Shaodao: "Why doesn't it matter? Are you favoring one over the other?"
Qingrong smiled, "Then just follow the general's advice." She paused and said, "Take a look first before talking."
Xue Shao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and approached Qing Rong, "Teasing me?"
Qingrong couldn't help but shake her head and smile, "I learned it from you."
Seeing her smiling happily, Xue Shao was also a little dazed. He couldn't help but hug her and kiss her a few times, and then kissed her deeply. This kiss was different from the urgent kiss between the bed and the bed, but gentle and long.
, with an intoxicating taste.
After the two of them stopped, their breathing became unstable. Xue Shao lowered his head to touch her forehead, still holding her waist with his hand, and kissed her carefully a few more times.
Xue Shao picked him up and headed towards the inner room.
The two figures were closely intertwined together and were not separated for a long time.
…
Qingrong felt like soft mud and had no strength at all. She wanted to push Xue Shao away, but he was as motionless as sitting on a rocky mountain. She couldn't bear it anymore and murmured: "Why are you..."
Xue Shao looked at her and pointedly said: "Young."
It took Qingrong a long time to realize that this was what they had just said... I saw a narrow and playful light flashing in his eyes. Qingrong was really helpless. How could she not know that he was so "careful"?
Seeing that Qingrong was still distracted at this time, he came a few more times, and Qingrong couldn't hold back a few unbearable moans, "Uh... um..."
But Xue Shao kept holding Qing Rong and kissing her deeply and passionately. Qing Rong's eyes were blurred and she lost her mind. She couldn't bear it. She felt like she was almost drowning. After Xue Shao stopped, both of them were
It was a rough breath that could not be relieved.
Qingrong felt that this was simply too crazy. This feeling of being weightless and drowning was very bad. But Xue Shao, who was still leaning on her, felt very contented and refreshing, and his eyes were filled with contented joy.
Qingrong held her breath in her heart and turned her head away from him... out of sight, out of mind.
Xue Shao knew as soon as he saw this that he was annoyed.
He leaned over and kissed her face. He admitted his mistake with a good attitude and immediately said: "It's my fault. I was careless for a moment. Don't be angry."
Seeing him like this, Qingrong didn't say anything more. She hummed and kissed the corner of his mouth comfortingly.
Xue Shao laughed, lowered his head and kissed her eyes, whispering lingeringly: "Qing Qing..."
Qingrong clearly felt that he was in a good mood tonight. Maybe it was because things in the army were settled. He had been in a good mood these past few days. In a daze, she heard Xue Shao murmur again: "You are really mine."
Lucky star."
…
Although Qingrong was in a trance, he also felt the difference between Xue Shao. Tonight and the night last time, he was...outside. Qingrong was a little confused and looked at him doubtfully, with a trembling voice, "Why?
…”
Xue Shao gradually calmed down, kissed her and explained: "Don't think too much, I don't want you to suffer."
He kissed her again and again, "Being pregnant and giving birth is hard work, and I don't want you to have to suffer like this." Although it is not easy for her to have children, it is not impossible, but since it is so difficult, why let her suffer like this?
Go and give birth to this child. The woman gave birth to a child, narrowly escaped death, and died in many cases. She was in poor health, and he didn't want to see her suffer...compared with losing her, in fact, not having a child was not something that could not be explained.
Qingrong didn't understand what Xue Shao meant, but she didn't expect that he would think about her like this. For a moment, she had mixed feelings. She rarely shed tears, but at this time she couldn't help but her eyes were red. She looked at Xue Shao
, smiled and asked: "Why don't you ask me now if you are willing?"
Xue Shao took advantage of the situation to lie down next to Qingrong, hugged her, and said for a long time: "I was not pretending just now. I deliberately wanted to win your favor. I meant it sincerely. Since I am sincere, I don't expect you to repay me, and you don't have to
I feel owed, and I don’t want you to feel wronged because you are moved.”
Is he really willing, or is he willing to sacrifice his grievances to repay because he was moved by the other party's actions? It seems that there is no difference, but Xue Shao feels that this is different. The former is willing and does not care about the results, while the latter is moved because of shame.
As for the choice you make, maybe you are not very willing to do it, but you do it for the joy of others, maybe because you want to repay, maybe because of guilt... so you turn a blind eye to your original thoughts.
In Xue Shao's opinion, this is very bad.
Qingrong also understood what he meant. People will change due to external things, but he hopes that he is not forced to change because of friendship. Maybe this is not easy to do... but at least to him, she is
It doesn't have to be this way.
Qingrong's expression was soft for a moment, and she said repeatedly, "Okay, since it is your intention, I will cherish it." She paused, glanced down at the mottled water stains, and asked with a chuckle: "But will you do it in the future?
…is this also the case?”
Xue Shao quickly hummed, "This will always be the case from now on."
"I thought you were somewhat envious of Lu Changshi."
Xue Shao chuckled lightly, "What do I envy him for?" Now he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He had already told Qing Rong that the Xue family would have many heirs, and many of them had both parents dead. If it was true that
I'm looking forward to having a child, just adopt him from the clan.
After Xue Shao called for water to clean Qingrong, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Qingrong got up from the bed and was washing and dressing when Azhen hurriedly ran into the house from outside and said hurriedly: "Madam, madam! Something happened to Jiang Xuniang!"
