Chapter 238: Keeping a low profile

"Qin Feng?"

Shen Youqiu glanced at Qi Jingxing suspiciously, "Who is it?"

"Anyway, don't go near this person."

Qi Jingxing sighed lightly, stepped forward and hugged Shen Youqiu tightly in his arms, "Youqiu, I don't allow other men to get close to you."

Then his voice softened again, with an endless fetters and a hint of tiredness that was hard to detect.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Youqiu asked with some concern, "Is there something going on in the imperial court?"

"Don't worry." Qi Jingxing gently stroked her hair and said softly, "It's not a big deal, but many people in the court may still be a little curious about you, especially Prime Minister Fu Cheng, he may want to go to you, so you must keep a low profile recently." The capital is no better than your hometown, there are dangers everywhere, if there are strangers in contact, you must be vigilant again, now after all, I can't always take you with me, you have to pay more attention to yourself, otherwise, I'm really afraid-"

"Okay, don't be afraid." Shen Youqiu smiled and patted him lightly on the back, as if coaxing a child, "I'm such a smart person, don't I know how to take care of myself and how to stay away from danger? I see what you mean, and I'll be more careful in my actions after that."

"Besides—" Qi Jingxing frowned, and said, "Mingyue's appearance is amazing, it is too dazzling in the crowd, and many people in the army have seen him, don't let him go out at will recently, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Okay, got it."

Shen Youqiu took a step away and touched his face, "I see that you seem to be a little tired today, is something happening?"

"Nope." Qi Jingxing looked at her, "It's just that I miss you a little, and I feel a little unhappy when I think that we are both like-minded, but we can't be together openly."

"Well, then when I have saved up enough for the dowry, then we can be in the bright light."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

The night is getting deeper, the lights are going out, the cold in the capital is getting deeper and deeper, and winter is coming.

The next day, the blacksmith shop was half-closed, and Shen Yuxin, Shen Youqiu, and Shen Mingyue sat in the room, studying what kind of pot should be given to Chef Lu.

"I think you might as well carve a word on Chef Lu's pot."

Shen Youqiu suggested, "This shows that this pot belongs exclusively to Chef Lu."

"I'll see it." Shen Yuxin nodded and said with a smile: "It's just that it's the first time I've made words on the pot."

On the side, Shen Mingyue looked at the two of them expressionlessly, looking a little lacking in interest.

"Dad, our business will definitely be good in the future." Shen Youqiu said with a smile: "Before entering the city a few days ago, did you notice the rice and wheat planted in the suburbs, as well as those vegetables or something, now this last crop has not been harvested, and when these things are harvested, this year will be a bumper harvest year, and when the time comes, our pot will definitely be a big seller."

"My daughter is right!"

As the two of them talked, they began to make a fire to strike iron, and it was indeed troublesome to beat the pot, and just beating the embryo was a great test of the blacksmith's patience and skill.

Shen Youqiu and Shen Mingyue stared at the fire for a long time, they were a little annoyed, and they were really hot from being roasted by the fire, so Shen Youqiu stood up and ran outside the door to get some fresh air, and by the way, buy some small snacks such as dried meat for his father to eat, so as to replenish his strength.

Who knew that as soon as she went out, she felt a cold wind blowing outside, and she subconsciously shrunk her neck and pulled her clothes tight.

"Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

She poked her head out and looked out, frowned and said, "There are few people outside today, and the weather is also gloomy, and people are uncomfortable in their hearts, it's really strange, how does it feel like winter, it seems that this capital is indeed colder than my hometown."

"Don't go out when it's so cold." Shen Yuxin raised his head and wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: "How warm it is in this house, besides, I eat so much at home every day, where do I need to eat anything else?"

"Okay."

Shen Youqiu also knew that his body was bones

I couldn't stand the cold, so I didn't hesitate, so I retreated, leaving only a small crack in the door.

"It's still warm in the house."

She smiled, picked up the hot tea on the boiler and poured a cup for all three of them, "It seems that this winter should not be too easy."

"I guess it's a cold day or two." Shen Yuxin smiled and said, "It's not winter yet, it won't be too cold, but the capital is indeed colder than our house, I have to tell your mother when I go back to the party, hurry up and prepare a few thicker winter clothes."

"Hmm."

The three of them stayed in the warm room all day, and in the evening they curled their necks, put their hands in their sleeves, and ran home trembling and swishing.

As soon as I got home, I felt the warmth coming to my face, and I quickly shivered and spit out all the cold air in my mouth.

"Why is this weather so cold?"

Shen Yuxin frowned, and said to the Mo family who came up, "Madam, you have to hurry up and prepare a few more winter clothes, this winter in the capital is probably much colder than our family."

"I've thought of it a long time ago." Mo smiled: "Early this morning, I have already gone to the shop to order clothes, and I will be able to get them in a few days, and in addition, I have bought a lot of firewood to pile at home."

Shen Yuxin and the others followed her gaze and saw a thick and dry firewood being piled up in a corner of the yard.

"There's more to the backyard than that." Mo Shi smiled a little embarrassedly, "It seems that I bought a little more, but Mingyue's injury is good, and Youqiu has always been weak and can't stand the cold, so it's better to prepare more firewood than to be cold later, Tian'er Tian suddenly got cold, I thought that you Hulai must be cold, so I burned a few pots of charcoal and put them in a few rooms."

"Madame is thoughtful." Shen Yuxin smiled and said, "This bit of firewood is not much at all."

Looking at the two, Shen Youqiu only felt funny.

There is so much firewood, which is enough for them to burn at home for half a year, and Qi Jingxing has prepared a lot of charcoal for them.

However, it is firewood and chickens, and this yard is full of life.

The next morning, the weather turned normal.

Shen Youqiu looked at the firewood in the whole yard, and felt that her mother was a little too much, in case it rained later, wouldn't these firewood be wasted?

In the afternoon, the large iron pot specially made for Chef Lu was already fully ready.

The two of them carried the pot, drove the car, and walked all the way to Shengjing Building.

At this time, the people in Shengjing Building knew the two of them, so they went all the way to the back kitchen.
