Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 113 Destined

Shen Cha very much agreed with what Xue Ruitian had said, that Master Mo had completely different attitudes towards them and her master.

Before her master returned to Jiapingguan City, whether it was the Zhen Guogong Mansion or the Wuding Marquis Mansion, no matter who was sick or injured, the meals prepared by Master Mo could not be said to be perfunctory. After coming, it is so fine.In the past, she always thought it was because of the lack of supplies here, but looking at it now, the lack of supplies is only a very small part of the reason. As for the majority of the reasons, she does not want to speculate. , The disrespect of the elders.But the biggest possibility is that they want these young people to experience the suffering they suffered back then.

"Why don't you eat?" Seeing Shen Cha staring at the soup bowl in a daze, Shen Haolin smiled and said, "What are you thinking?"

"A child without a master is a grass, but a child with a master is a treasure." Shen Cha picked up the spoon, drank two mouthfuls of soup, and raised an eyebrow at Shen Haolin, "During the few days when my brother was sick, I didn't eat such a thing." Food that suits your appetite? Although the white water boiled noodles are the ghost of those help cooks, Master Mo and the others will not cook such delicious soup noodles. A few years ago, when the master had not come back, we also There is no such treatment, right?" She ate two mouthfuls of noodles, and then said, "Uncle Yan, do you think this is the case!"

"I can't say it, I said it, you must be unhappy. Every time you are asked to set up a small dining room in the mansion, you all find it troublesome. It is too cumbersome to arrange this and that. Anyway, every day Going to the military camp, just make do with it. When you said this at the time, you didn’t think about your illness and injury, right? Now you are injured, sick, and want to eat well, and you hate old man Mo The craftsmanship is not good. Don’t think about it, how can people like old man Mo make very fine things? The food they make is already very good if you can eat it. If you insist on letting them do it like this, it will be difficult for them Already." Yan Bo pointed to the soup bowl in front of him, "No matter in terms of appearance or taste, it is not old man Mo's craftsmanship, it should be made by a helper transferred from the pioneer camp." Qin Zheng, who had eaten up a bowl of noodles, said, "I guess it was the young man who came to deliver our meals. When we met just now, he told me that he made a few bowls of hot noodles under the orders of the deputy commander-in-chief." The steaming noodle soup is here."

"Lao Mo can't cook this kind of noodle soup with Jiangnan flavor. What he is good at is the very rough border style. I remember a few years ago, I told him not to cut those dishes so big You should be a little more delicate, and he also said that my young master’s faults have not been corrected, so I am too particular!” Qin Zheng looked at the two children eating noodles, “Don’t pick and choose, now this condition is already Very good, at our time, boiled noodles in boiled water were only eaten by wounded soldiers, and other people were not so lucky."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha raised their heads at the same time, and slightly nodded at Qin Zheng, expressing that they understood.

"However, you should also set up a small dining room in the mansion. In weather like this, the food is easy to get cold, and if you eat cold food in cold weather, it will be strange if you don't get sick." Qin Zheng rinsed his mouth with tea, He said, "Is that child Miao Miao responsible for this?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha drank the last sip of soup in the bowl, took the handkerchief Shen Haolin handed over and wiped her mouth, "I have this idea, but there is no suitable candidate yet, so I can't let her work alone. Originally The three newly recruited juniors are going to be the main force, and now it seems unlikely. In fact, His Majesty said early in the morning to send some royal chefs over, but I thought it would be troublesome, so I refused. Now that I think about it, I regret it a bit. I really should have agreed at that time." Shen Cha flattened his mouth, "I don't know what to do now, Xiao Wu suggested that I find a few people in the shadow training camp. Those who run the restaurant, as the young owner of the restaurant, their craftsmanship is not bad."

"Shadow?" Shen Haolin finished rinsing his mouth with tea, and frowned slightly when he heard Shen Cha's words, "Will they be happy? They finally became shadows, and you drove them from the clouds into the dust with one word. They must die of grievances." what?"

"Those who pass the assessment will definitely not be willing, and I won't let them do these things. They have been cultivated with great difficulty, how can they be wasted?" Shen Cha refilled everyone's cups with hot tea, "Little Five Fingers Those who failed the assessment and were going to be sent back were selected among them who were good at cooking and transferred to the Zhen Guogong Mansion. On the surface, they were the masters of the small dining room, but in fact they were the personal guards of our Zhen Guo Gong Mansion. Is it killing two birds with one stone? Of course, we need to consult their opinions, and if they don’t want to, I won’t force it.”

"There shouldn't be anyone who would be unhappy, right?" Yan Bo raised his eyebrows, "Actually, I know that many boys from the new barracks hope to serve as personal guards in the Duke's Mansion, because they think it's much easier here than in the barracks. .”

"Really? Then let them try it. My father-in-law promises that they will stay here for less than a month, let alone a month, and they will be crying and begging to return to the barracks in less than half a month." Shen Haolin looked at it and smiled. Shen Cha said nothing, "Cha'er has a lot of requirements for personal guards. In her heart, Shadow has the highest requirements, followed by personal guards, and the lowest requirements are soldiers in the barracks."

"Don't speak so harshly of me, I'm still a very kind person. By the way, I remembered to ask Master something!" Shen Cha patted himself on the forehead, looked at Qin Zheng, and said, "Master, when will you Can you really come back? Can you have an exact time?"

"It will be April or May at the earliest, what's the matter?"

"Determine the time of your return, Yan Bohao ordered someone to clean up the yard next to him."

"Why clean it up? I made an agreement with Xiaofeng, we will live here." Qin Zheng waved his hand, "We finally reunited, Xiaocha, do you still want us to live separately?"

"That's not what I meant, master. How could you separate you from Bo Yan? That courtyard is not for you, but for the three juniors." Shen Cha put down the teacup in his hand and said seriously, "Whether it is Master accepts them as apprentices, or Miao Miao accepts them as apprentices, they are all considered members of the Duke's Mansion, and should have their own residences. Before Miao Miao said that they would be accepted as apprentices, I planned to let them follow Miao Miao Live together. Now that they have become my juniors, it is not appropriate to live with Miao Miao, should they live near you and Uncle Yan?"

"Xiaocha is right, I agree with this arrangement, what do you think?" Yan Bo looked at Qin Zheng, "Or, just let them live in my yard, anyway, there are quite a few vacant rooms, enough for them to live in It will save you the trouble of tidying up the new yard again!"

"No, let them live with that girl Miao Miao!" Qin Zheng waved his hand at Shen Cha, "It's not very convenient for them to live with us. In the morning, we occasionally get up late, which may affect them. Besides, Staying with us two boring old men, the vigor that a child should have will slowly disappear. I think that kid named Li Yu is too old now, not innocent and lively at all. That girl Jin Miaomiao, Ghosts and ghosts, they should be able to lead them well."

"What uncle said... has some truth." Shen Haolin and Qin Zheng looked at each other, "Cha'er, just do what Master said!"

"Okay then, I'll tell Miao Miao tomorrow, she should be very happy."

"Okay, it's almost time, you guys go back and have a rest!" Yan Bo stood up and put all the soup bowls on the table into the food box, "What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow! By the way, the Liao Kingdom Mission Let’s go, when will Jin Kingdom arrive?”

"I don't know yet, they haven't sent a formal letter yet." Shen Cha shook his head, "I have a bad feeling."

"Not a good feeling?" Shen Haolin wrapped the cloak around Shen Cha's body, "What is it?"

"It's hard to say, anyway, it's a very strange feeling. I always feel that Wan Yanxi is going to go for nothing and get nothing. Eh, brother?" Shen Cha was taken aback by Shen Haolin's hug. , patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Brother, you are..."

"In order to prevent you from catching a cold again, I'd better carry you back home!"

Shen Haolin carried Shen Cha and walked towards the door, Yan Bo helped them open the door, stood at the door, watched them leave with a smile.

"It's great to be young!" Yan Bo waved his hand at Shen Haolin who closed the courtyard door for them, "You can do whatever you want without thinking too much."

"What's so good about that?" Qin Zheng snorted coldly, "You think I can't see that boy Shen Haolin's little mind?"

"Oh?" Uncle Yan opened the door of the main room, and pulled Qin Zheng to the back bedroom, "What did you see?"

"That bastard must have an evil intention for my precious apprentice." Qin Zheng said with a whimper, "After the new year, I will write a memorial to His Majesty, and ask him to allow me to disarm and return to the field as soon as possible. I want to hurry up." Come back and watch Xiaocha, lest she be abducted by that little bastard Shen Haolin."

"According to my observations over the past few years, not only the Grand Duke, but also the Hou Ye, and His Majesty who is far away in Xijing." Yan Bo gave a smirk to the shocked Qin Zheng, "Unfortunately, your The little apprentice is very slow in this regard. Apart from the Duke, she will not allow the second person, I mean the boy, to approach her. Of course, except in the case of serious injury and coma. At that time, she would like to object Can't object."

"So?" Qin Zheng followed Yan Bo into the bedroom, "What's your conclusion?"

"Xiaocha has a crush on the Duke, but I don't know it yet!" Yan Bo patted Qin Zheng's shoulder, "It's useless for you to object, this is predestined, from the moment they met, Xiaocha entered The fate of the two of them has been intertwined since the beginning of this town government. What's more, the eldest brother and sister-in-law also had this idea back then, right?"
