Chapter 1151 Where is the Master?
"Amitabha, this journey has been safe and sound!"
"Yeah, I'm finally back safely!"
Thinking that she hadn't seen her husband for such a long time, Qiao Xuan became excited and looking forward to it. Thinking of the scene of meeting again after separation and the saying "a short separation is better than a new marriage", Qiao Xuan's heart was moved and her cheeks became slightly hot.
Unexpectedly, when the master and his two servants returned home, Shao Yunduan was not there, and it was Song Shi who opened the door.
Seeing them, Song Shi was surprised and delighted. He bowed deeply to Qiao Xuan and smiled: "Madam, you are back! That's great!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded, and as she walked in she asked, "Where's my husband? Hasn't he come back yet?"
The Hanlin Academy should have been off duty by now, right?
Her eyes flickered and her heart sank. Qiao Xuan was suddenly a little angry: Could it be that when she was not around, this guy went wild without anyone to take care of him? How could this be tolerated!
"Where is the master?"
Qiao Xuan's tone was a little stern as she looked at Song Shi.
Song Shi seemed to have never seen her like this before. He was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly, "Madam, the master went to do errands for the prince. I was supposed to go with him. The master said that Madam should be back in the next two days. He was afraid that Madam would worry, so he asked me to go back the day before yesterday. The master will probably be back in three or four days."
"Doing errands for the prince?"
Qiao Xuan was stunned. She had only been gone for less than two months, so why did she feel so disconnected from her husband and couldn't understand what Song Shi was saying?
What kind of errands could the Imperial Academy have that were specifically for the Crown Prince? And one that was outside the capital?
Songshi: "Madam, it's——"
"Forget it," Qiao Xuan waved her hand and said gently, "Let's have dinner first. After dinner, you can tell me in detail. I won't cook tonight. Go to the Hutchison Restaurant outside the alley and buy four or five dishes. Well, there must be a soup, and you can take care of the others."
After confirming that Shao Yunduan did not let himself go and go out to have fun, the little flame that had just arisen in Qiao Xuan's heart instantly died down. Her tone was gentle, and she was the gentle and kind mistress of the house again.
Song Shi had no idea why his mistress's attitude changed so quickly, but he heaved a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, took the silver from Lixia, and went out to order food.
This was a simple journey, and Qiao Xuan and her servants did not have much luggage, just a few bags filled with a few sets of clothes for the journey.
At the beginning of summer and the beginning of autumn, I will bring it back to the house and put it away properly.
There was hot water in the kitchen and a kang was heated in the room, so it felt very warm as soon as I entered the room.
This is home!
Qiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body relaxed. The corners of her lips curled up, and her heart was filled with warmth and tenderness. This was her and her husband's home.
Home is indeed the best. When I got back, I felt lazy, languid and casual. No matter how good the inn I stayed in on the road was, I couldn't get this feeling.
But why isn’t my husband at home?
After a while, Songshi came back with the food and the lunch box.
The beginning of summer and the beginning of autumn quickly set the table and carefully served the dishes one by one.
Shredded pork with Beijing sauce, braised beef with winter bamboo shoots, fried fish fillets, stir-fried mixed vegetables, and a large bowl of steaming mutton soup sprinkled with coriander and chopped green onions.
Then there were four side dishes provided by the restaurant: eight-treasure pickles, pickled radish, pickled mustard greens, and shredded bamboo shoots in red oil.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Take clean bowls, take most of the dishes away and eat quickly, otherwise they will all get cold soon. After dinner, wash up and go to bed!"
