Sleepless in Peking

"Xia Chu, just call me Sen Sheng." Abroad, that was a last resort. Now that she suddenly heard Selina from the Beiping, she felt that something was off.

Xia Chu had already let go of her arms, "Mn, alright, Sen Sheng!" There was a sincere smile on her face, which made even Sen Sheng a little confused. Actually, to be fair, before Xia Chu met with trouble, the former had treated her quite well. It was precisely because of this that Sen Sheng had accepted such a woman of Japan's bloodline as her roommate.

"Let's sit down and talk. You can all go down." Xia Chu instructed the people at home.

Sen Sheng couldn't help but let out a sigh as she looked at the hesitant face of Ling Dang and Ye Qing, who was obviously not moved by her words. I'm just talking to Auntie Xia for a bit. Why can't she just eat me up? " she joked.

Ye Qing looked at Xia Chu, but did not move. The Dong Zi in the eyes of this seemingly weak girl was not weak at all.

"You don't even listen to my words anymore!" Seeing that Ye Qing did not move, Sen Sheng could not help but raise his tone two times.

Ye Qing looked at Sen Sheng with difficulty, "Eldest Miss, the Old Master has already instructed me, when I am outside, I will keep you close to me!"

Sen Sheng angrily laughed, "Then if I go to the female restroom, do you want to come along as well?"

Ye Qing's face immediately flushed red, as if she did not expect Sen Sheng to be so fearless. Then, he slightly blessed herself, and retreated in the end.

The moment Xia Chu saw that the door was closed, she could not help but burst out laughing. Sen Sheng, you have never been so fun before! " She intimately climbed onto Sen Sheng's shoulders and whispered into her ear.

Bringing along the unique fragrance of a woman, she rushed into Sen Sheng's nose, causing her entire body to go stiff.

"Xia Chu, you did not do this before," she seemed to have thought of something difficult to say, but in the end she did not say it.

"What's wrong with me?" Xia Chu didn't plan on letting her go.

Xia Chu did not say that she was angry, but instead, started laughing loudly. Sen Sheng did not understand what she meant, and looked at this girl who looked like she had gone insane with shock.

"Sen Sheng, is it wrong to like someone?" She looked at her with the most delicate eyes of a painting, and asked seriously.

Sen Sheng lowered her head silently. It was fine to like someone, but being an aunt wasn't something to be proud of.

She did not take the cup of wine from Xia Chu's hands. The fact was, she had poured it all into one cup. You are my friend, but you will know more people in the future. " She whispered a blessing.

Xia Chu laughed, "Back then, the reason I crossed the ocean by myself was to come to see him. However, even if she knew his address from the start, she couldn't find him. Come to think of it, I got tired of pestering him and thus was forced to accept me! " Xia Chu told Sen Sheng every single detail of the time she came to the Beiping on her own. Unknowingly, it had already reached noon.

"Stay for dinner!" Xia Chu said.

Sen Sheng did not truly want to reject her, but she truly had something on her mind. , I still have some matters to take care of today. "

Xia Chu looked at her deeply, and in the end, without saying anything, she turned and went upstairs.

This temperament seemed to be a little different than before. Sen Sheng thought.

However, she had already discussed it with her family's old housekeeper. She had started to relieve the calamity at the city gate at noon. In this world, it could already be considered quite early.

When Sen Sheng brought Ye Qing and the other two to the city gate, it was right when Quan Cheng Gui's men and the Sen Clan's servants arrived.

"Eldest Miss." Seeing Sen Sheng, Quan Cheng Gui walked over.

Sen Sheng faced him and greeted, "Uncle Quan, are you all ready?" On the roadside, there were already some Sen servants propping up the tarpaulin, and a simple stove was set up below.

"Yes, we are waiting for young miss to give the order to start the construction work here." The old butler looked kindly at his young lady.

Sen Sheng nodded, and looked around. It had to be said that the Beiping had brought a lot of immigrants recently. couldn't help but feel a little sad looking at those foreign people who had shrunk at the corner of the city's gate, wearing clothes that didn't cover their bodies. She did not have any ambitions, and was merely moved by the scene before her. The weather was freezing. It was almost New Year, but many people were still displaced. They didn't have a complete home, yet they were still living in this world like ants. That's right, her heart softened.

"Uncle Quan, let's begin." Sen Sheng gave the orders and she walked to the large stove. There was already the manager of the Sen family's kitchen who was boiling the pot of water in front of her that had come from an unknown place. Sen Sheng asked the little girl for a big spoon of water and said loudly: "Over there, come here quickly!"

The Sen family's relief started.

The Sen family's relief this time was without warning. It was also the first time Sen Sheng had seen such a scene. Just as she said those words, a group of people swarmed onto the stalls in front of the Sen Clan. These people were all dressed in rags, and their bodies were also stained with a lot of dirt. For a moment, the situation went out of control.

The Sen family's servants quickly maintained order at the scene. "All of you, stand in line!" Line up! Everyone has a share! "Don't be in such a hurry!"

The scene was still a little chaotic, because of the food clogging up, the spoons in Sen Sheng's hands were almost snatched away by someone a few times. If Ye Qing was not quick with her eyes and hands, the sharing of food would have been even more chaotic.

"Miss, I think you should head back. Leave this place to us. "Look, there are already so many people. If the news spreads out in two hours, this place will be a mess. What if I hurt you?" Ling Dang advised from the side.

Sen Sheng was not moved.

At this moment, the clatter of hooves came from not too far away.

Only the strength of the army sounded so well-trained. Sen Sheng could not help but raise her head in the direction of the voice. She saw a tall man riding a warhorse not far away from her, looking straight at her.

In that gaze, there was coldness, and also a trace of emotion that she could not understand.

"overseer." Although she wanted to go out and welcome a man with such an extraordinary identity, the most important matter that was currently in Sen Sheng's hands was still the porridge. She just glanced at the man and then lowered her head again.

"Squad One, listen up!" The man's voice penetrated the surrounding clamor and clearly fell into Sen Sheng's ears.

"Maintain order on the spot and assist Miss Sen!" His voice was powerful and somewhat cold, but it had a calming power to it.

Sen Sheng could not help but laugh, when she heard what the man was saying.

Miss, that Lord Commander is looking at you! Ling Dang bent over and whispered into Sen Sheng's ear.
