Chapter 74 Xia Xia takes a break, help Xia Xia wash her hair
Xia Yanjing leaned back in the carriage waiting for Shengxia to come out. He fanned himself and looked up at the starry sky. He was very grateful that God brought him into this world and met the love of his life.
Soon there was a noisy sound coming from the palace gate. Xia Yanjing hurriedly jumped off the carriage, took out his fan and went to greet them, which made the ministers around him jealous.
"Xia Xia, you've worked hard. I've prepared some sobering tea for you in the car. Come and have some." When Xia Yanjing got close to Sheng Xia, he could smell the faint smell of alcohol on Sheng Xia. Fortunately, he had thoughtfully prepared some sobering tea before going out.
"Okay." Shengxia was also very happy. The feeling of being cared about by others made him feel at ease.
Since the palace banquet ended a little late and Shengxia had been busy for the past few days, she simply washed up and went to bed to rest. After entering the room, the cool breeze made her feel refreshed. In addition, the next day was a day off, so she could have a good sleep.
Xia Yanjing was also considerate and did not stick to Shengxia. He also saw how hard Shengxia had worked these days. Looking at the sleeping Shengxia, Xia Yanjing could not help but lower his head and kiss Shengxia's face before lying down to sleep.
The next day, Xia Yanjing prepared to do something important, which was to wash his wife's hair.
While Shengxia was handling official business, Xia Yanjing ordered the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water for use, and then ordered the servant to move the chaise longue under the shade of the tree, prepare bath beans, sesame oil, a wooden bucket, warm water, and a ladle. Everything was ready, and he was waiting for Shengxia to come back.
Fortunately, nothing big happened on the day of rest, and Shengxia finished her work quickly and came back, and saw everything Xia Yanjing had prepared under the shade of the tree.
"Master, please lie down." When Xia Yanjing saw Shengxia coming back, he imitated the modern dance moves to invite Shengxia to wash his hair.
"Okay, I'll lie down." Shengxia was a little surprised. He thought Xia Yanjing wanted to wash his hair himself, but he didn't expect that he wanted to help him wash it.
Shengxia walked forward and lay on the chaise longue, and tilted her head back according to Xia Yanjing's instructions. Then Xia Yanjing gently untied the hair crown on Shengxia's head, and her long hair fell apart.
Xia Yanjing placed the bucket under Shengxia's head and used a ladle to scoop water to rinse Shengxia carefully. The water flowed down Shengxia's hair like a black ribbon.
As the water continued to fall, Shengxia's hair was gradually soaked, and the originally messy hair now fell vertically like a waterfall, hanging down neatly and naturally, like an ink painting.
Shengxia closed his eyes and quietly felt Xia Yanjing's large and warm palm gently caressing his scalp, allowing his body to gradually relax.
Shengxia could feel the slight pressure from Xia Yanjing's palm, but it didn't feel heavy. Instead, it gave her just the right amount of comfort, and she even felt a little drowsy.
Xia Yanjing helped Shengxia wash her hair, carefully dried it with a towel, and considerately applied sesame oil on her hair. After applying the oil, Shengxia's hair looked more oily and lustrous.
Xia Yanjing nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the fan beside him and helped Shengxia dry her hair. Fortunately, the weather was hot, so it was finished quickly.
"Xia Xia, it's okay." Xia Yanjing pushed Sheng Xia, who was resting with her eyes closed.
"Is it over so soon?" Shengxia felt a little unsatisfied.
"It's been a long time. I'll help you wash later, okay?" Xia Yanjing replied with a smile.
"Okay." Shengxia would not refuse, because Xia Yanjing's bath was really comfortable.
"Xia Xia, can you accompany me to the shop today?" Xia Yanjing was busy with his brother-in-law's affairs a while ago, so he sent a message to let Chang Hao open the shop on his own. It was just right that he went to see how the business was going today.
"Okay." Shengxia replied with a smile.
Due to the unbearable heat, the two did not go out until the hour of You. Shengxia specially changed into the light green clothes embroidered with plum blossoms that Hongxi had prepared for him. Xia Yanjing felt that his Xia Xia looked good in anything she wore.
After the two arrived at Mianweixian, they looked at the long line outside the store and wondered for a moment if they had come to the wrong place. Xia Yanjing looked back and forth several times and found that it was indeed his noodle shop.
Seeing how busy the place was, Xia Yanjing and Shengxia decided to go to Zhang Mu's shop for a walk and come back later.
The two came to Zhang Mu's shop. After entering the shop, they felt a chill. Looking closely, they saw ice cubes in the wooden barrel behind the counter.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang's husband, we are here." Xia Yanjing shouted loudly when he saw that there was no one in the shop.
"Brother Jing, wait a moment." Zhang Mu heard Xia Yanjing's voice and responded loudly.
Soon Xia Yanjing saw Zhang Mu walking out with a big smile on his face, holding Lan Zhou's hand as he walked. Xia Yanjing thought that Zhang Mu hadn't seen him happy for a long time, but the next second Xia Yanjing knew that he was overthinking it.
"Oh, your brother-in-law has severe morning sickness. It's a coincidence that you guys are here. Come and sit down." Zhang Mu said happily.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhang, brother-in-law." Xia Yanjing was sincerely happy for Zhang Mu.
"Congratulations." Shengxia was happy for them from the bottom of her heart after hearing this.
"When the baby is born, you must come to the wedding." Zhang Mu invited warmly.
"That's for sure." Xia Yanjing and Shengxia said in unison, and then they looked at each other tacitly.
"Husband, I want to eat cold noodles." Lan Zhou said suddenly.
"Okay, I'll go buy it." Zhang Mu agreed without saying a word.
"We just passed by Mianweixian. There was a long queue there. Why don't you wait a while?" Xia Yanjing reminded kindly.
"No need, my husband wants to eat, so why wait? You guys sit here, I'll be back soon." Zhang Mu took the purse and was about to leave.
"Brother Zhang, I'll go with you. I'll ask Chang Hao to mix a portion for you directly so that your brother-in-law can eat it earlier." Xia Yanjing said considerately.
"Okay." Although Zhang Mu didn't want to cut in line, Lan Zhou wanted to eat, and he didn't want to let Lan Zhou wait too long, so he agreed.
"Xia Xia, Brother Zhang and I will be back soon."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Shengxia responded with a smile.
After the two left, Lan Zhou looked at Sheng Xia and asked, "I heard you have a large amount of ice in stock."
"Are you so well-informed?" Shengxia replied calmly after taking a sip of water.
"I believe you also know what my family does. This little bit of information is nothing." Lan Zhou said leisurely while leaning back in the rocking chair.
"Yes, we have a lot of ice in stock."
"I wonder if General Sheng could sell me some ice. I'm pregnant and I'm most afraid of the heat." Lan Zhou said helplessly.
"Of course, that's no problem. In a couple of days, I plan to open a shop in East Market and West Market, specializing in selling ice. If you want it, just go directly to the shop and pick it up. I won't charge you any money."
"It's not appropriate not to charge money. I'm not short of money." Lan Zhou waved his hand quickly and said.
