Chapter 25 Buying Firewood

"...Grandma also does work?" Rong Sheng blinked and thought he had heard it wrong, "Why are you drying so many radish strips?"

That row of shelves is not so big. How many radishes do you have to cut when they are full? Rongsheng just looks at it.

"The young lady is not in good health and is reluctant to let her work." Qiu Ju took the empty curtain handed over by Rongsheng and sighed rarely, "Only everyone is busy, and the young lady's knife skills are the best. If it were me and Aunt Magpie, the shelf may not be able to cut all day... If there is no food to eat in winter, we will rely on these radish strips to soak pickles." He showed off, "The dried skinned vegetables made by the young lady are delicious!" After patting the debris on the curtain, Qiu Ju looked up and turned her head when she saw Rong Sheng looking behind her in a daze, "General... is back." I don't know when Shen Zhongqi was standing behind them.

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

"Where did the general go early in the morning?" When he came to his senses, Rong Sheng jumped off the ladder.

"Is that it here?" As he spoke, a woodcutter in short gray cloth came in with a large bundle of firewood on his back. "Where do you put the firewood?"

Shen Zhongqi looked at Qiu Ju.

"Uncle... went to buy firewood?" Rong Sheng was a little stunned.

"The maidservant is going to call the young lady." When he came to his senses, he saw that there were still people sending firewood here at the door one after another, and there was a sense of joy in Qiu Ju's voice.

With so much firewood, she doesn't have to get up in the morning to get firewood in the future!

Save effort and pick up more mushrooms.

As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Shen Zhongqi, "No!" He didn't want Zhen Shiniang to face these crude woodcutters. "You just tell them where to put the firewood and let Rongsheng settle down." He turned around and told Rong Sheng, "Look at the firewood and pay the money." After saying that, he raised his feet and went into the room.

Zhen Shi Niang is sitting on the kitchen floor cutting radishes. During this time, she has cut a large pot.

"Do you eat this radish bar every winter?" She was bowing her head and cutting seriously, without being wary of a cold voice behind her. Zhen Shiniang shivered and almost cut her hand. She raised her head in consterdest, and Shen Zhongqi was frowning at her.

How does this man look like a cat?

There was no sound when walking, and I was scared out of heart disease by him sooner or later!

Thinking of being scared by him twice this morning, Zhen Shiniang muttered fiercely in her heart, put down her knife and stood up, "The general is back, and I'm going to set the meal."

Her body was blood lost, and her blood pressure was low. Zhen Shiniang usually sat for a long time and stood up slowly. Today, she was scared by Shen Zhongqi and suddenly stood up again, feeling dizzy in her head.

Seeing her staggering, Shen Zhongqi held her.

Her head was dizzy. Zhen Shiniang grabbed something randomly and leaned on it without thinking about anything. She did a lot of work without eating in the morning. After a while, she was sweating all over.

"If your body is not good, don't do these things." Shen Zhongqi's voice was rarely soft.

"Miss, Miss..." As soon as Zhen Shi Niang breathed a sigh, Qiu Ju's excited voice came from the outside, "The general has bought all the firewood on the set!" The firewood in West Point is full. There is also a small stamp in the backyard, which is enough for them to burn for a year.

As she spoke, Qiu Ju looked up and saw Zhen Shi Niang in Shen Zhongqi's arms. Shen Zhongqi was gently rubbing her blue and purple chin. Qiu Ju's face turned red. "I didn't see anything!" She quickly turned her back.

This silly girl.

Being teased by Qiu Ju, Zhen Shiniang came to her senses and found that she was leaning ambiguously in Shen Zhongqi's arms. She suddenly broke away from him, "...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

She is a husband and wife. She can't stand still. It's normal for him to help her. How can he be so scared?

Seeing that she was frightened and dodged herself like a rabbit, a trace of irritation flashed in Shen Zhongqi's eyes in an instant. His face darkened and he turned into the bathroom.

Wiping the sweat on her forehead, Zhen Shiniang tried to calm down her heartbeat and greeted Qiu Ju, "...Take the kettle on the stove to the general."

Qiu Ju ran over with a smile and answered briskly, "Yes!" The eyes that looked at Zhen Shiniang were flying.

Looking at her face, Zhen Shiniang gave her a blank look and turned around to clean up the food.

Born as a homeless child, Qiu Ju doesn't know so many strict rules in the mansion. Her fear of Shen Zhongqi is only due to the evil spirit emanating from him from time to time. At this time, when she saw that he bought so much firewood early in the morning, Qiu Ju felt that he was not so terrible. He was the same as They were all cold outside and hot inside. They poured hot water for him and stood in the middle of the ground and secretly looked at his handsome back. The more he looked at it, the more beautiful it was. He felt that her young lady was really blessed, so he said, "I can't believe it. You are still a famous general. The young lady has never mentioned it

Zhen Shi Niang and Magpie never mentioned Wu Ge Wen's father to her. For two years, Qiu Ju had always thought that her young lady was a dead husband. When the words came to her mouth, she remembered that it was unlucky and hurriedly swallowed it.

I have long felt that someone was staring at him behind his back. Shen Zhongqi hated the little maid's unruly manners and was about to be kicked out. Hearing this, his heart moved and he blurted out, "... Does grandma never say that she has a husband? Why do you think?

Do you think she is still a big girl?

I don't know why, when Shen Zhongqi thought of this, Zhen Shiniang was talking and laughing with a big man early in the morning, and the anger that had just subsided rushed up again.

What happened?

My son is so big. Who would believe that he didn't have a husband?

Qiu Ju blinked and was about to push back. She remembered that Zhen Shiniang specifically told her that she was not allowed to mention Jianwen and martial arts. She was so scared that she stuck out her tongue and said that it was dangerous. If she really leaked it, the young lady had to peel her skin.

"What?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Zhongqi stopped flirting with water and turned around.

"I only knew that the young lady had a husband, but I didn't know it was you... I thought... I thought..." Qiu Ju lowered her voice and secretly looked at Shen Zhongqi's expression, "Miss is... the one who died of her husband."

I felt that the temperature around her suddenly dropped, and the evil spirit that scared her rushed to her face again. Qiu Ju subconsciously stepped back and was about to run away, but she heard Shen Zhongqi ask again, "... When did you come here? When did grandma get blood deficiency? How did you get it?" He was very strange. She was obviously living a hard life. Why did she still accept the maid?

If you eat with one less mouth at home, your life will be much easier. Doesn't she understand this truth?

"The maidservant is a vagrant. Two years ago, she fainted at the door and was saved by the young lady. She couldn't help begging, so she left..." As she spoke, when she heard the magpie barking outside, Qiu Ju answered and turned around and ran out.

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

Just for sympathy, she took in an orphan girl who had nothing to do with her, making the originally difficult life more difficult. It turned out that she also had such a kind side.

Why didn't he find out before?
