Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 114

After listening to Yan Bo's words, Qin Zheng stopped unbuttoning his hand for a moment, and then sighed.

"What's the matter?" Yan Bo, who was making the bed, turned around and glanced at him. Seeing the sad expression on his face, he also sighed, stood up straight, and walked over to pat him on the shoulder. It's over, don't think about it anymore, just look at these children carefully, it's serious."

"But, don't you think that what happened back then is so strange? The second sister-in-law doesn't look like someone who would collude with foreigners. Even if someone in her natal family is using her banner, as long as she investigates carefully, she will definitely investigate. If it's not her evidence, she will definitely give her an innocent one, but..."

"She is a scapegoat. Those people will not let anyone find out the evidence. But..." Yan Bo smiled, "The day when the truth will be revealed should be coming soon." He pointed in the direction of Huqiu, "They But never gave up.”

"Really? So, like us, they also have doubts about that incident and the conclusion of that year."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as having doubts. They think it's frame-up from the beginning to the end. Moreover, Xiaocha once said that there is a huge conspiracy hidden behind the frame-up. I agree with her very much." From the point of view, the Duke also said that it is too fake to spend so much effort just to get rid of a Madam Hou. But it is still unknown what the specific conspiracy is."

"What do you think we should do? Help them find evidence?" Qin Zheng sighed, "I don't really know how to deal with such a thing."

"How come? You come from a wealthy family, how come you haven't encountered such intrigue?"

"Why do you think I ran out to join the army? I don't want to live a good rich young master's life, so I have to run out to suffer?"

"Why? I wanted to know a long time ago. Could it be that I don't like these methods of calculating people?"

"On the one hand, the more important thing is that I don't like doing business, I find it boring, and the twists and turns in it make my head big. Compared with forming troops, I still like fighting."

"If you run away like this, the family will be handed over to your concubine brother?"

"Well, he likes this, and it would be great to carry forward the Qin family!" Qin Zheng smiled lightly, "Okay, let's not talk about this, what can we do to help the children? We can't stand by and watch, right?"

"We can only stand by and watch. This is their knot, and they must untie it themselves." Yan Bo walked back to make the bed again, "It's the young people's world now, we old men just watch, if they take a detour, Let’s just point it out, and don’t interfere with other things.”

"Well, it is much better and more convenient for them to do some things than we do by ourselves. Your Majesty is also very concerned about this matter. When he returned to Beijing the year before last, he specifically asked me to ask about it. I gave all the details I've said it all, Your Majesty...it looks normal, but..."

"But what?" Yan Bo stood by the bed, looking at him curiously, "The Duke said that His Majesty also found a lot of doubts."

"I have never been able to grasp His Majesty's mind. I don't know what he is thinking. I always feel that it is unpredictable."

"If the two princes of the county heard this, they would die of laughter. In the hearts of the princes of the county, His Majesty is a big trouble!"

"It's a matter between their brothers, and it has nothing to do with us." Qin Zheng washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and after burning his feet, he pulled the cloth shoes that Uncle Yan had prepared for him and walked to the side of the bed, saying, "It's too cold today. Don't take a bath, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Yan Bo nodded, "By the way, Lord Guo told me something today." He repeated Shen Haolin's words, "What do you think? Do you agree with their actions, or do you disagree? "

"Want to hold a family banquet for us? Think of it as a wedding ceremony?" Qin Zheng touched his chin and looked at Yan Bo who was rinsing his mouth. "Actually, I also have this idea, just because I'm afraid you won't like it. Although you were young I really like to show off, but after so many things, I’m getting older, so I don’t like publicity much, right?” Seeing Yan Bo nodding, he continued, “So, I just thought about it Thinking about it, I didn't have time to discuss it with you. I didn't expect...these two children actually wanted to go with me, they are very filial!"

"There's a lot of nonsense, so, do you want to accept it or not?" Yan Bo yawned and walked to the bedside after washing, passed Qin Zheng and got under the quilt. "You have to think clearly before answering, this is your little apprentice's wish, you can't let it down!"

"Of course I'll accept it!" Qin Zheng nodded, "They are so busy every day, and it's rare that they have time to think about the two of us. I won't refuse them because of their heart. And..." Qin Zheng blew out the candle on the small table beside the bed, got into bed, put his arms around Uncle Yan, and said, "When Your Majesty agrees to my request, I will stay here forever and see the generals in the army." It's also good to meet and get acquainted, lest they don't know me when the time comes, and cause any misunderstandings!"

"Is there anyone who doesn't know the majestic Qin Zheng and Deputy Marshals? Do you believe this when you say it?"

"Xiaofeng, I'm not arrogant enough to think that everyone knows me and admires me!" Qin Zheng patted Yan Bo on the back, "Especially those young generals, it's normal not to know me." of."

"It's true. In the past two years, there have been a lot of young generals. Now the children are more brave than each other. The Duke said that they should be influenced by small tea and wine, just like the one you just received. The three children dreamed all day long to be great generals, to fight for Great Xia like Xiaocha." Yan Bo chuckled, "Speaking of which, do you want to formally introduce their three children to everyone? "

"No, no!" Qin Zheng shook his head lightly, "You heard that when Xiaocha and Haolin were there just now, I didn't agree with their proposal, I hope those three children don't move to We live in the courtyard next to us, and they are still asked to follow that girl Miao Miao, do you know why?"

"Why? Didn't you say you were afraid of affecting them?"

"Those are just nonsense to deceive people, that is to say, a simple person like you will believe it, but Xiaocha and Hao Lin, the two ghosts and ghosts, don't believe what I said. They didn't go into it because my decision is very important to us. The two are beneficial, and it is also beneficial to them, Miao Miao, and the three children. Haolin and Xiaocha know very well that I took those three children on a whim, and it is absolutely impossible to teach them like I taught Xiaocha. Strictly speaking Come on, they are nominal apprentices."

"A nominal apprentice? Isn't that good? I think those three children are still very happy that you can accept them."

"Their conditions are not as good as Xiaocha's. I can accept them as nominal apprentices, which is already very good."

"So, in your heart, Xiaocha is your only personal disciple, isn't it?"

"Of course, when I received the little tea back then, I made it very clear that I only have this one direct disciple in my life, and there will never be another one. Although I am sorry for these three children , but there is no way, I can't break my promise, can I?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't break your promise, but what about these three children?"

"I have an idea, and I want to tell you about it and see if you agree with it."

"what idea?"

"I took a closer look that day. The roots of these three children are really good. They are not suitable for following me, but they are very suitable for following you. It is a pity that you have not found an apprentice now, and no one can inherit your kung fu. yes, right?"

"Me?" Yan Bo was taken aback by Qin Zheng's words, "Did you take in three apprentices for me? Hey, thinking about it...it's not bad. You have apprentices who can pass on kung fu, brother and sister-in-law. The kung fu has been passed down to Haolin and Xiaojiu, and the second brother's kung fu has been inherited by Xiaotian, but I have no apprentices, and it makes me sad to think about it." He leaned into Qin Zheng's arms, "Do you think Which of the three is more suitable for my kung fu?"

"All are suitable, but the youngest one who looks very clever is the most suitable one. You can focus on training him. I heard that this child is the adopted grandson recognized by old man Mo, right?"

"Oh, Xiao Kai!" Yan Bo nodded, "I really like that kid, it's the same as when I was a child, he's serious when he's upright, and he's really good at being noisy when he's rambunctious. The multi-talented kung fu is very suitable. The other two can practice with me or with other people, in fact, it is most suitable to leave it to Jin Jing and Jin Miaomiao brothers and sisters."

"Two demon kings."

"That's right, let these two demon kings toss and toss these two children, and they can't always be so old-fashioned."

"That's right, a child should look like a child!"

"Tiantian is like a little adult, with no smile on his little face, and no vitality at all."

"That's what I meant too, that's why I let them continue to live with Jin Miaomiao."

"Hmph, Mr. Deputy Commander, you have a lot of selfishness!"

"I'm at this age, and I should be a little selfish." Qin Zheng turned over and continued, "There is one more thing I need to discuss with you. Since I have already retired, do you also consider finding a successor? People, hand over the position of housekeeper, enjoy the blessings, and let these little guys take good care of us."

"Xiaocha and Grandpa Guo also told me about this a few times, asking me to hand over the butler's seat to Xiaowu... Oh, it's the most useful Shadow under Xiaocha, whose full name is Yingwu, everyone They call him Xiao Wu. I have seriously thought about it, but Xiao Wu has to go out to run errands for Xiao Cha from time to time, collect information and so on, and has no time to care about the affairs of the house. Why bother, right? Except Xiao Wu, there are not many other suitable candidates. You just came back and don’t know much about the situation in the mansion. Unlike other mansions, there are not many people here. Everyone has their own part to be responsible for, and if they are transferred to another place, they have to recruit new people.”

"Manpower... so short?"

"It's not a shortage, it's simplification. Not only the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, but also the Marquis Wu Ding Mansion next door. They think that there should not be too many people in the mansion, just enough people, so as not to be mixed in by interested people. Of course, if you want to enter The mansion is not easy. Your precious apprentice didn't know what the stimulus was at the beginning. All personnel entering the mansion must go through a series of strict assessments. If one fails to meet the standards, they will be eliminated. I asked her, and she said that even so, it cannot prevent Esaku from sneaking into the mansion."

"Her worries are correct. This place is different from Yongning Pass. Liao and Jin are staring at each other. They have not been thinking about seizing the city for a day or two. They will definitely use various means to achieve their goals. The most effective way is to send Someone sneaked into the mansion." Qin Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, "So, there is no one to replace you at all, right?"

"I definitely don't have it now, and it may appear in the future. Besides, I am not very old now, my arms and legs are flexible, and my mind is not confused. Naturally, I should do more things. Even if you come back , we can't love each other all day long, can we?"

"Well, what you said makes sense, and I can't refute it."

"We can't let our elder brothers and sisters-in-law down. We have to do our best when they entrust their children to us." Having said that, Yan Bo smirked and patted Qin Zheng, "Don't always think about what will happen when you come back. None."

"I've been fighting for so many years, what else do you want me to do?"

"It's not what I think, it's the children of our family. With their usual style, they will definitely surprise you!"

"What surprise?"

"You'll know when the time comes!" Yan Bo closed his eyes and yawned, "It's late, go to bed!"

"..."

Qin Zheng was very helpless, Xiao Feng whetted his appetite, but did not reassure him, he might have a sleepless night.
