Chapter 249: Afternoon Warmth (1st Update)
Shen Qing really couldn't choose one worthy of support from the current Sima family, so he didn't think about it for now, the most important thing at present was to calm the turmoil in Daqi.
On the morning of late autumn, Shen Qing followed the desire in her heart, and leaned lazily on Yu Jiuqing like this, not wanting to do anything.
She even felt that it was good for her to spend a whole day with Yu Jiuqing like this.
It seems like a long time has not passed.
Yu Jiuqing obviously had the same idea, holding Shen Qing's shoulders and leaning on the cushion behind him, and gently closed his eyes.
Last night, he kept staring at his wife in his arms, and he didn't even dare to blink, for fear that she would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't until dawn that he couldn't suppress the fatigue that was surging madly in his body, and closed his eyes slightly.
He had been on the road overnight and had not slept for several days, so it was impossible to say that he was not tired.
Shen Qing noticed the man's quietness, raised his eyes and glanced at him quietly, seeing that his phoenix eyes were closed and his breathing was long, and there was a dark blue under his eyes, which was especially obvious on his fair face, he couldn't help but feel distressed and soft-hearted, and gently pushed him and said, "Jiuqing, do you want to lie down on the couch on the side?" It's uncomfortable to sleep like this. ”
The man let out a low "um" and didn't even open his eyes.
Shen Qing pursed her lips and smiled, leaned in and kissed the corner of his lips gently, and said softly, "Is it okay to go to sleep on the couch?" I sleep with you, and it's uncomfortable for me to lie like this. ”
The man who was still reluctant to open his eyes heard Shen Qing's words, and finally opened his eyes, and the beautiful and cold phoenix eyes glanced at her with a little sleepiness, and suddenly picked her up without saying a word, walked to the couch and hugged her to lie down, pulled up the blanket placed next to the couch and covered the two of them, and closed his eyes again.
After lying down, the big hand on her back still habitually patted gently, as if to lure the child to sleep.
The tenderness in Shen Qing's heart didn't know how to express it for a while.
This man, she said that he was uncomfortable lying like this, and he didn't say anything about it.
But as long as she says that the uncomfortable person is her, no matter how tired and tired he is, he will definitely open his eyes and meet all her requirements.
She smiled and shrunk into the man's broad, warm arms.
Ten years ago, she was impressed by his meticulous tenderness, and she never gave up returning to him after leaving him later.
The weather in late autumn was already very cold, but the two of them fell asleep together, Shen Qing only felt that a comfortable stove was stuffed in her arms, so comfortable that she couldn't help but sigh, surrounded by a familiar breath, she fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.
The man next to him was still breathing, apparently not awake yet.
Shen Qing regained her clarity in his arms, raised her eyes and looked at him for a long time, before she sat up cautiously and gently removed the man's hand on her waist.
When she was about to remove his arm, the man's brows frowned slightly, and his originally peaceful face immediately became a little more uneasy and cold, and seeing that he was about to wake up, Shen Qing hurriedly bent down and kissed him on the forehead, and said in a low voice: "You continue to sleep, I will not leave here." ”
As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently stroked the man's frowning brow.
I don't know how long it took, the man's frowning eyebrows finally stretched out again, and his expression returned to the original peace and tranquility, Shen Qing smiled lightly, kissed him on the forehead, and then got off the long couch.
As soon as she walked out of the study, Qing'er and other servants and maids, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately surrounded her, Qing'er frowned and said anxiously: "Madam, are you and Yu Xiang hungry?" At noon, the slave maid went into the study, and when she saw that her wife and Yu Xiang were still asleep, she took it upon herself not to wake you up.
The back kitchen prepared lunch, and the slave maid kept them warm, and the lady could pass the meal at any time. ”
Shen Qing looked at the sun and estimated that it was just past noon.
In fact, she was not very hungry, today's breakfast was too much for her appetite, she ate a lot unconsciously, but she thought that she still had a small seedling in her stomach, and said with a smile: "Yu Xiang is in a hurry, don't wake him up first, you go to the back kitchen and get me some food." ”
Qing'er answered, and soon, she brought the still warm lunch.
Shen Qing didn't want to quarrel with Yu Jiuqing, so he had lunch on a stone table outside the study, and asked while eating, "Where is Xiao Langjun now?" ”
Qing'er: "When Xiao Langjun was going to look for General Liu in the morning, General Liu happened to come to the mansion to look for Yu Xiang, and when General Liu left, he took Xiao Langjun away by the way.
Xiao Langjun should be in the barracks now. ”
Shen Qing nodded, and after lunch, she returned to the study, sat behind the desk, picked up a brush, and slowly wrote the plan for establishing a women's college.
Xizhou is far away from the capital, and she decided to stay in Xizhou for a long time, but also wanted to take advantage of this turmoil to stay away from the political power center of Daqi.
If there are no accidents, she will stay in Xizhou for a long time.
Some of the things she had been thinking about a long time ago were naturally going to be piloted in Xizhou.
Qing'er stood beside her and sharpened the ink for her, while whispering to her about some changes outside.
"Yesterday, General Liu welcomed Yu Xiang's 100,000 soldiers and horses into the city, and rumors that Yu Xiang had already occupied Xizhou were all over Xizhou.
The slave maid looked at it, the people's reaction was okay, thanks to Yu Xiang's previous good reputation among the people, many people had no objection to Yu Xiang taking over Xizhou, and even welcomed it.
Only a small number of people made trouble, saying that Yu Xiang was a chaotic minister and thief, and scolded General Liu for dancing with the thief, but it basically did not constitute a threat. ”
These reactions of the people of Xizhou were expected by Shen Qing.
She smiled low and said, "If it's just a small number of people making trouble, it's really not something to be afraid of.
Now the tricky ones are some big families in Xizhou. ”
There are big families everywhere, even in Xizhou, which is far away on the frontier.
The family here naturally can't be compared with the family family in the capital, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, and the family here even needs to be afraid of Liu Zhao, who has been staying here all the year round, not to mention Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing, who have just taken over here.
These big families are often related to the court of Daqi, either someone in the family is an official in the court, or they are a branch of the famous family of Daqi.
They all have their own interests and positions, and they are different from the people who are incapable of choosing their own destiny.
A small number of people should not be afraid of making trouble, but if they were the ones who made trouble, they could not ignore it.
Qing'er served by Liu Zhao's side before, and she knew some things about Vanity Fair, so she couldn't help but pouted when she heard the words: "What kind of family, when Da Liang besieged Xizhou before, they didn't come out, and they also united the people of the riot to question our general, if it weren't for Madame, we might not be able to repel the group of barbarians in Da Liang."
What kind of face do they have now?
By the way, madam, the rumors that you are Lord Xiao Shen have also spread in Xizhou, but the slave maid looks, not many people believe this rumor, many people think this rumor is ridiculous, and some people even scold the rumor, saying that they have tarnished the reputation of Lord Xiao Shen in this way. ”
