Chapter 63: Knocking
Time passes quietly when people are not looking.
In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of July.
Although it has passed the hottest time, the weather is still not very cool.
It's a bit hot and humid today, and there's not a hint of wind.
Qin Shu didn't sleep well in the afternoon, and got up after a little crooked.
Dongxue personally brought up the cut watermelon.
This watermelon was specially poured with well water. Put the watermelon into the well with a rope, wait for the watermelon to cool thoroughly, and then take it out to eat, and then take it out to eat, and it will not be as cold as a chilled watermelon, which is the most suitable.
As soon as Qin Shu took a bite, he asked people to send most of You'an over.
Most of the watermelons she ate by herself were produced in the space, and some of the watermelons sent by the people below were given to Shen Jingfang and Zhao Hanqiu, part of them were given to Cheng Qiuyu and fifty female students, as well as Sun Xiaohong and others, and the rest were given to Shi, Zhang, Mama Zhang and Dong Xue and others.
Sun Xiaohong is now a very qualified female nurse, and she is one of the best people in nursing skills.
Since she is diligent and responsible. Many newcomers were taken care of by her.
Originally, this time Qin Gui went on the expedition, and she should be a nurse with the army. It's a pity that she was a little seasick, dizzy and vomiting as soon as she took the boat, and there was no way but she could only stay.
In this way, she was not idle, so she took the initiative to ask Ying to train those newly signed rookie nurses, and every day was busy and fulfilling.
But even if she was busy, she didn't forget to come to Qin Shu to say goodbye and talk to Qin Shu.
Even Xia Tong and other female students also follow those soldiers to drill every day, and the training intensity is no worse than them.
They are all very hardworking, they know their mission, and they will definitely go to the battlefield in the future, and even they have followed Cheng Qiuyu on a mission to encircle and suppress a small group of robbers, although they made some mistakes, some people were scared stupid, and some people were injured, but in the end they won.
Fortunately, their previous learning was effective, although they were taught a lesson and were afraid of not adapting, they all gritted their teeth and persevered, and no one was deterred.
Because there will be water fights in the future, they will also have to train with the water army.
It didn't take long for Cheng Qiuyu to lead them to participate in an operation to encircle and suppress water bandits.
Although they didn't come in handy, most of them were just onlookers, but they also gained a lot of knowledge, benefited a lot, knew their own shortcomings, and after they came back, they trained even more.
In addition to this, they usually patrol the city.
Soon, the people of Hezhou City knew that there was a team of beautiful female soldiers under the marshal.
Every day, I saw them wearing heroic red suits, holding red tassel guns, majestically patrolling from the streets of the city, and I couldn't help but stop and watch from afar, in addition to being afraid, but also a little curious and yearning.
Therefore, this team of unique female soldiers has aroused a lot of discussion among the people.
Later, they learned that this team of female soldiers was not under Marshal Qin, but under Marshal Qin's mother, which was amazing.
Qin Shu saw their hard training, but no one complained or fell behind, and she also felt very sorry for them, and whenever she had good things, she didn't forget to give them a copy.
They don't have a clear position now, only a joke about what kind of captain and squad leader, and the number is small, so not many people take them seriously, even You'an thinks that they are just things that their mother trained to relieve boredom, just like those powerful people who raise small dramas.
It's just that their mother is too good to them.
In his opinion, they were not worthy of their mother's doing.
But as long as the mother is happy, anything can be done.
After Qin Shu finished eating the watermelon, she couldn't sit still, so she wanted to go to the garden.
This marshal's house is more refined than the marshal's house in Minzhou, the former owner probably also pays attention to enjoyment, this back garden is quite well repaired, rockery, arch bridge, pavilion, lotus pond, of course, all kinds of flowers are indispensable, it is indeed a very good place. Even Qin Shu likes to come and take a look when she has nothing to do.
Qin Shu took people to the lotus pond that he often came to, before Qin Shu was interested, and he had personally supported the boat to pick lotus, the lotus pond is not small, in the middle of the pool, build this pavilion, from the shore to the pavilion there is an elegant wooden bridge to connect.
It's just that when Qin Shu came over, he found that the pavilion had been occupied.
There are a few maids and women standing in the pavilion, there is a couch in the pavilion, and there is a square table next to the couch, on which there are some fresh melons and fruits in a fruit bowl, a woman in a light yellow shirt is crooked on the couch, and a little girl is gently fanning her, it seems that she is in a good dream.
Seeing this, Qin Shu couldn't help but stop.
Seeing this, the subordinates who followed behind also stopped and looked at Qin Shu's line of sight.
Dongxue had good eyesight, and quickly saw who the person inside was, and said, "Madam, it's the second lady." ”
"What second lady?" Qin Shu frowned, looked at her slightly sideways and asked, "Which second lady?" ”
Her eyesight is better than that of Dongxue, and she has naturally seen clearly who the people in the pavilion are.
It's just that no matter how you look at it, she doesn't dare to be called the second lady?
Where does this title come from?
Dongxue suddenly remembered that Mrs. didn't know this title yet, and suddenly felt speechless, and couldn't help but show regret on her face.
It's just that when Mrs. asked, she couldn't help but say that she could only offend Second Mrs. Zhao. So, he stubbornly said: "Madam, the slave maid is wrong, it's my aunt Zhao." ”
Then, he explained to Qin Shu.
It turned out that after Zhao Hanqiu got married, she didn't like to let people call herself aunt, so she asked the people below to call her second wife. However, as she became more and more favored, her mother's family was valued by the marshal, and even her mother, Shen Jingfang, was very courteous to her
, they are very polite to her, she is a low-key and unassuming, it seems that she is not as powerful as Zhao Hanqiu, so in order to please Zhao Hanqiu, the subordinates in the house also began to shout this in private.
The housekeeper Fang Zhao only took care of the affairs of the outer courtyard for the most part, and because of this trivial matter, he offended Zhao Hanqiu, as long as he didn't get angry, he would turn a blind eye.
And Qin Shu, no one said this in front of her, firstly, she had never cared about this kind of thing, and secondly, Zhao Hanqiu had always been obedient and submissive in front of Qin Shu, and it seemed that Qin Shu valued her very much, so no one dared to say anything.
After Qin Shu listened, before she could speak, she saw Zhao Hanqiu in the pavilion seeing them, and she had already gotten up and led someone to greet her.
As soon as Zhao Hanqiu came, he saluted Qin Shufu and pleaded guilty in an intimate tone: "Madam, it's all because the concubine fell asleep just now, and I didn't notice that you were here, and now it's too late to greet you, please don't be surprised." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Qin Shu with a smile.
Even if Zhao Hanqiu is a noble concubine, she still can't call Qin Shu her mother.
Even Zhou Zhen'er doesn't have this kind of treatment, only Shen Jingfang has this qualification.
Zhao Hanqiu is also sensible, although he is respectful and close to Qin Shu, he is not out of line.
Qin Shu chuckled and nodded, only said that it was okay, and glanced at her carefully.
found that Zhao Hanqiu's face was ruddy, his eyebrows were stretched, and his spirit was flying, and he seemed to be extremely comfortable.
Zhao Hanqiu helped Qin Shu to the pavilion, she gave the couch to Qin Shu to sit down, and she stood aside to serve.
Zhao Hanqiu's personality is still relatively lively, and he can be regarded as the kind of person who can speak, but now that he has gained a firm foothold in the Marshal's Mansion, he has lost his original restraint and caution, and has gradually recovered some of his nature.
Although she can be regarded as a beautiful girl, her father never restricts her, and often goes out, because she also has some knowledge, plus she can speak well, and some ordinary little things become interesting things when she talks about them, so Qin Shu sometimes asks her to talk to her.
In fact, such an action, in the eyes of the next person, is already the expression that she values Zhao Hanqiu very much.
Zhao Hanqiu, as usual, said some interesting things to make Qin Shu happy, but unfortunately, Qin Shu was not as happy as before, just smiled faintly.
She gradually retracted, looking a little uneasy.
Her maid's blue core and green ring looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.
Qin Shu said: "Zhao, your marshal also has a concubine's room, and he entered the door earlier than you, do you know?" ”
Zhao Hanqiu hurriedly bowed her head and said respectfully: "The concubine knows that it is Sister Zhou in Minzhou. ”
Qin Shu nodded: "Speaking of which, she was still the first person to serve your marshal, but unfortunately before leaving, she suddenly fell ill and couldn't come with her......
When Zhao Hanqiu heard this, his face turned pale.
She knew that her mother-in-law should have heard something, so she was banging herself.
Come to think of it, I'm dissatisfied with her title.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law did not mean to delve into it, so she was slightly relieved, and the expression on her face became more and more respectful, she slowly knelt down, and said with a little shame: "Madam, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and she should not allow her subordinates to shout and mess with the rules, and she will never do it again." ”
Qin Shu glanced at her and found that she did look like she was wrong, so she said, "It's good if you know, get up!" ”
Zhao Hanqiu is not bad, but she has been too proud recently, so she is a little cocked and arrogant, according to her observation, she seems to have a little bit of a sign of saying goodbye to Shen Jingfang. If you continue to connive, I'm afraid that you will not be satisfied with your current status and start to be a demon, and your family will definitely be restless at that time.
Although Qin Shu likes to watch the excitement, she doesn't want to make a miasma at home.
A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine, and this cannot be messed up.
Zhao Hanqiu seemed to be very ashamed, he had no face to stay any longer, and soon retired.
Qin Shu didn't keep her either.
After she walked away, Qin Shu sighed and said to herself: "If it weren't for this matter, I really didn't pay attention, it seems that my title should be changed, is it more appropriate to call 'old lady'?" ”
Unfortunately, she didn't like the title "old lady" at all.
Well, how is this good?
