Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 100

The master's return completely relaxed Shen Cha's tense nerves, and she fell asleep until it was time to hold the lamp. When she woke up, the candles were already lit in the room, and Shen Haolin was leaning against the head of the bed, concentrating on it. looking at the book.

"Are you awake?" Sensing movement around him, Shen Haolin turned his head to take a look, and met Shen Cha's eyes, "Did you sleep well? Shen Xiaozhu?"

"Shen Xiaozhu?" Shen Cha sat up and stretched, "What's this called again? Brother, are you talking about me?"

"Shen Xiaozhu, Cha Xiaozhu, and Xiaozhu Tea, which one do you like?" Shen Haolin leaned over and kissed Shen Cha's forehead, "Master is different when he comes back. He sleeps much more peacefully than before. Humming, like a little pig!"

"Brother! How can there be such a description of people, little pig... It's hard to think of it!"

Shen Cha rolled her eyes, wondering if she had a serious illness, and figured out what happened. After her brother recovered from his illness, it was as if he was a different person. He opened his mouth to make jokes, without even thinking about it. , There is a great posture to look up to Master Xue Hou next door.If it wasn't for such a situation that only appeared in front of her, in front of other people, she still acted like a majestic marshal and a state official, insisting on the consistent methods and rules of doing things, she would really doubt whether the person around her was Something strange is possessed, or someone with malicious intentions is pretending to be.

"While sleeping, while humming, what is it if it's not a pig?" Shen Haolin stretched out his arms and hugged Shen Cha, "Wake up first, don't worry, there is a message from Jin Miaomiao, Let's wait another half an hour before we can go over and finish our meal. Master Mo and the others in the dining room heard that Uncle is back, and they were all very excited and wanted to contribute their specialty dishes."

"The friendship of fighting bloody battles and crawling out of the dead together is different. When the master comes back, they will contribute their specialties. We don't have this kind of treatment. Even if we are sick or injured, all we can get is light stew. It’s just vegetables and noodles boiled in plain water.” Shen Cha curled her lips, glanced at the book in Shen Haolin’s hand, raised her eyebrows, and said with a half-smile, “Brother, why are you interested in military books at this time? It seems to be compiled by Master. Can you... hold on to Buddha's feet temporarily?"

"Hey, let's put aside whether it works or not. It's also good to have a look and get familiar with it. What if your master is happy during the meal and wants to test me temporarily. It’s really embarrassing to be taught by him. I will not give him this chance. Now I read the book, at least I have an impression. If he asks something in the book, I can answer it more or less, no. As for asking him to stop, if the distance explains it, then it’s in the right hands, and I’ll play it casually.”

"As long as brother is happy!"

The two got together to read the book for a while, and had a lively discussion on some of the cases mentioned in the book, and time quickly slipped away in their discussions.Shen Haolin was the first to react, seeing that it was almost time to go to the Nuan Pavilion, and took Shen Cha to freshen up and dress up.

Shen Cha called Mei Lin and Mei Zhu in, and asked them to check on the other people's situation. If anyone was still asleep, they should wake up quickly. They must not be late for the reception banquet held for Marshal Qin Zheng and Vice Marshal.

The two personal guards responded bluntly, and ran out to investigate the news. Before leaving, they chose the clothes for Shen Haolin and Shen Cha to wear at the family banquet.

When Mei Lin and Mei Zhu came back, they were already fully dressed and ready to go out.

"How? Are they all ready?" Shen Cha put on the cloak for Shen Haolin, looked at the oil-paper umbrellas in the hands of the sisters, "Is it snowing a lot outside?"

"Yeah, General, it's very big! It feels much more ferocious than during the day. Master Hou said, let the two of you go over with an umbrella, so you don't get drenched."

"Okay!" Shen Cha smiled at Mei Zhu, reached out to take the umbrella she handed over, "You don't need to follow, go and rest!"

"Eh?" Mei Lin and Mei Zhu looked at each other, "Don't you need us to wait by your side? What if you drink too much..."

"Deputy Marshal Qin doesn't drink, and when he's around, there won't be such things as alcohol, so it's impossible to drink too much, don't worry." Shen Haolin also said, "We are at home, aren't we? You won’t get lost in any other place. While there are not many things at home, hurry up and rest. After a few days, you will have to receive missions and celebrate the New Year. It is completely impossible for you to go to bed early of."

"Yes!" Mei Lin and Mei Zhu bowed to the two of them, "The subordinate is leaving." Just as the two of them were about to leave the room, Mei Lin suddenly remembered Ying San and Ying Jiu, patted his head lightly, and said, "Almost forgot, the third brother and the others left, saying that they went back quickly while the snow was heavy, so as not to be suspicious." She looked at Shen Cha, "The third brother said before leaving, please take care of yourself, the general."

"Understood!" Seeing Mei Lin and Mei Zhu leave, Shen Cha raised his head to look at Shen Haolin, "Master came back so suddenly that he actually forgot about them, I hope they don't blame me for not seeing them off."

"They are not narrow-minded people, how could they blame you?" Shen Haolin rubbed Shen Cha's head, "Just write a sentence in the letter to Xiao Min, they are very sensible and won't care about these things."

"Brother said yes!"

Just like what Mei Lin and Mei Zhu said, the snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting more and more fierce. The two of them are holding umbrellas, and they are cautious with every step. There are organs and traps everywhere in the government. It is not easy to keep an eye on the road ahead.

Passing by the place where Jin Miaomiao lived, seeing her leading three children wrapped up like little bears coming out, the two of them frowned at the same time.

"Oh, what a coincidence, you two!" Jin Miaomiao waved at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "I was thinking of having someone call you!"

"It's such a cold day, and it's snowing so much, why did you bring the children out?" Shen Cha expressed disapproval, "Just ask someone to deliver dinner to them. , but it’s terrible, it’s easy to fall to the root of the disease.”

"I thought so too, but when your master heard that I had taken in an apprentice, he thought it was a miraculous thing, so he told me to take the three of them there to have a look." Jin Miaomiao looked down at the three with excited faces. "Originally, I wanted to ask them what they meant. If they didn't want to go, I would find an excuse to refuse your master. Who would have thought... When I heard that the famous Vice Marshal Qin wanted to see them, I jumped up and down for joy." Jumping again. If it wasn't for the roof blocking them, they would have jumped into the sky." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "Seeing them like this, I have a very ominous premonition."

"For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, don't say such depressing words!" Shen Cha handed the umbrella in his hand to Jin Miaomiao, "Provide it for them, don't freeze."

San San made a lot of effort to walk to the Nuan Pavilion, stood on the porch, and patted the snow off his body. Shen Cha asked the guards at the door to find some people to sweep the snow. If you clean it, the door will be blocked the next morning.

Although the two young guards had been on duty in the Zhen Guogong Mansion for quite a while, it was the first time they had contact with Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. When they heard Shen Cha's words, their faces flushed with excitement, and they hurriedly agreed and ran away Go back to the barracks to call someone.

"It's so good to be young!" Jin Miaomiao sighed, swept the snow off the three children, and pushed open the door of the Nuan Pavilion, "I... eh? Vice Marshal, Yan Bo, you two are so early arrive?"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha entered the door together, and saw Qin Zheng and Yan Bo sitting in the upper seats, chatting with Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, and Song Qiyun, Xia Jiu, and Shen Jiu sitting below them, each holding a plate of melon seeds, It was crackling.

"Seeing that Xiaocha is so energetic, he should have slept well." Yan Bo waved to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Is it snowing outside? Hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold air!" Then, he turned to Jin Miaomiao He and the three children pointed to the place next to Jin Jing, "That's your place!"

"Ah, I thought I could avoid it!" Jin Miaomiao pulled the three children over and sat down reluctantly, and said, "Ginger soup is enough to drink once a day. Great."

"Tsk tsk tsk, as a doctor, do you also believe in the rumors spread among the people?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "If you are sick, I will not take care of you and let you spend the New Year alone."

"This curse is too vicious, brother!" Jin Miaomiao rolled her eyes at her brother, and unwillingly drank the ginger soup in front of her. The dawdling child said, "If you are sick, no one will play with you. Well, you won't have a part in the New Year's Eve dinner, and you won't get any lucky money!" Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow at the three children , "You can figure it out yourself!"

Having said all this, the three children were naturally taken aback, and obediently picked up their bowls, pinching their noses and drank the bowl of hot ginger soup. Fortunately, their bowls were smaller than those of the adults. A lot, and no particular suffering.

"Xiaocha, is this Miao Miao's new apprentice?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Qin Zheng waved at the three children, "Come here and let me see!"

"The one who is talking is Mr. Qin Zheng and Deputy Marshal that you are clamoring to see, hurry up and salute!" Jin Miaomiao pulled three children who suddenly became very shy and walked to Qin Zheng, "I have met Mr. Deputy Marshal! "

Li Yu took his second brother Zhang Jing with one hand, and his younger brother Mo Kai with the other hand, walked in front of Qin Zheng, and bowed to Qin Zheng in a proper manner.

Qin Zheng stood up from his seat, walked up to them and squatted down, looked them up and down, and reached out to touch their bones.

"Well, yes, they are all good materials for martial arts!" Qin Zheng looked at Jin Miaomiao, "It's a bit of a loss for these children to be your apprentices."

"The deputy commander-in-chief means..."

"I don't know if you are willing to give up the love and let these three children become our Xiaocha's juniors."

"Master... junior brother?" Jin Miaomiao couldn't believe his ears, "You mean... you want to take them as apprentices?"

"That's what I mean. I don't know if you and the three children are willing." Qin Zheng nodded, then turned to look at Shen Cha, "What do you think?"

"Very good!" Shen Cha stood up and walked to Qin Zheng's side, "I very much agree with Master's decision." She knelt down and asked the three children, "Would you like to follow Sister Miao Miao, or would you like to worship the deputy?" Master Shuai as your teacher, become my younger brother?"

"Well, let me explain first!" Jin Miaomiao also came over and said, "Master Deputy Marshal, I took the three of them, not to teach them how to practice martial arts. It is to see that they are good at cooking, and I plan to take my master passed on their skills to them."

"Nonsense!" Qin Zheng said with a straight face, "Their age is the time when they should study and make progress. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse to learn cooking from you?"

"Master, you can't blame Miao Miao for this." Shen Cha briefly told the story of the three children, "It was originally a stopgap measure, thinking of finding a suitable husband in the future, let them practice literature and martial arts. To delay their intentions."

"Yes, Uncle!" Shen Haolin also came over, winking at the three children, "You have really helped us a lot by accepting them as apprentices!"

"That's right, that's right!" Jin Miaomiao echoed, "You know that I'm not very good at raising children, and I haven't fully understood what Master taught me. It's a waste of these children to me. It would be great if you would take them and they would follow you."

"You..." Qin Zheng nodded at Jin Miaomiao, and turned his gaze to the three children, "Would you like to be my apprentice?"

"willing!"

The three children were all very excited. They never thought that such a good thing would happen to them. They could actually worship the famous Qin Zheng and Deputy Marshals as their teachers. Their senior sister is Shen Cha, the first female general of Daxia. Pie in the sky also surprised them.Therefore, they unceremoniously "abandoned" Jin Miaomiao and switched to Deputy Commander Qin.

"Hey, what did I say, my premonition is indeed right." Seeing the three children obediently kneeling in front of Qin Zheng, kowtow, serve tea, and call master, Jin Miaomiao flattened her mouth and complained to Shen Cha in a low voice , "The soft little apprentice was taken away, it hurts!" She clutched her chest, looked at Shen Cha who rarely smiled in front of people, "Why are you so happy? Your master has a little apprentice, but he will put you Throw this big apprentice aside!"

"Isn't this what it should be? If the master is too busy, I can help take care of the juniors." Shen Cha looked at the three freshly baked juniors, and she was in a particularly comfortable mood. She looked at them again and smiled even more than herself Yan Bo, who wanted to be happy, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said to Shen Haolin beside him, "Brother, we can rest assured."

"En!" Shen Haolin nodded, "He... really plans to come back!"

"What are you two talking about?" Jin Miaomiao scratched his head, "Why can't I understand?"

"You will understand!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other and smiled.
