Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 138 Amulet

Eunuch Pan, Qin Zheng and Uncle Yan haven't seen each other for many years. When the late emperor transferred Eunuch Pan back to Xijing to be Song Jue's close father-in-law and protect Song Jue's safety, he never saw these two people side by side again. A good brother who fought, it should have been twenty years.The old buddies naturally had a lot to say when they met. After meeting Jin Miaomiao and Qin Zhengxin's nominal apprentice, Eunuch Pan took them to chat.

"This..." Jin Miaomiao approached Xue Ruitian and said in a low voice, "This father-in-law, except for the fact that he doesn't have a beard on his face, he looks like a man, he is definitely a real man!"

"Eunuchs are not all sissies. There are quite a few special men like Eunuch Pan in the palace, especially those who follow His Majesty the Emperor. Many of them have been on the battlefield and made military exploits. Absolutely not." Look down!" Xue Ruitian knew that Eunuch Pan's hearing was very good, so he signaled Jin Miaomiao to lower his voice. "Back then, Eunuch Pan listened to orders in front of the old man's tent and killed many generals of the Jin army and the Liao army. If His Majesty was not young and needed powerful confidantes to protect his safety, the late emperor would not have recalled him to Xijing go."

"Compared to this Eunuch Pan, the third young master of Yihe's family is really...not worthy of being called a man!" Jin Miaomiao shook her head, reached out and stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, "I really should find Bai Ling to kill myself!"

"Don't say that, he's a scholar, we warriors are the ones he despises the most, what he hates the most..." Xue Ruitian moved his chin in the direction of Eunuch Pan, and said silently, "Eunuch."

"This is prejudice." Jin Miaomiao rolled his eyes, "The third young master comes from an honorable family. He can't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands. He's not as good as a weak woman like me! A man lives like a wretch. What is there to be proud of?" Jin Miaomiao sneered, "Only others look down on him, so he has no right to look down on others!"

"Are you a weak woman?" Xue Ruitian curled her lips, "A weak woman who can break a brick with one punch? If Zhao Yuhe is in your hands, it will probably be broken into pieces."

"What's so bad about it? It's better than letting others bully you! Then again..." Jin Miaomiao looked at Eunuch Pan, who had a good chat with Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, "The annual reward will be given away soon. Come here, what kind of reward is this? It actually worked for His Majesty's most trusted father-in-law?"

"It must be related to the case of the Jin Guo Mission. Don't listen to Song Jue's nonsense. It is all nonsense to thank all the borders for their support some time ago. Because the case of the Jin Guo Mission cannot be announced now. In the world, he can only find other reasons to reward us. But rewarding us alone is too eye-catching, and it is easy to arouse the hatred of others, so he pulled other pass cities in the north."

"It's really troublesome to go around and around to give a reward!" Jin Miaomiao lay on the table, looking lazy, "Being an emperor is not too free!"

"If he's free, why is he always thinking about running away?" Xue Ruitian glanced at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha who were meeting each other and whispering, "Hiss, do you think there's anything wrong with them?"

"What's wrong?" Jin Miaomiao looked up, "No, isn't it pretty good!" She reached out and patted Xue Ruitian's shoulder, "Your biggest enemy is in Xijing, and that one is really plotting something wrong! You Do you think that these rewards brought by Eunuch Pan are for us? Big mistake! Let me tell you, we are incidental, and Xiaocha is the protagonist!"

"What protagonist? Who is the protagonist?" After admiring those beautiful flower seeds, Jin Jing came to her senses and heard what her sister and Xue Ruitian were talking about. Look at this, look at that, "What are you talking about, you two?"

"It is said that during the New Year's Eve dinner, someone needs to dance swords. I recommend you as the protagonist!" Jin Miaomiao looked at the cloth bag next to Jin Jing, "How is it?"

"What, what, what? No!" Jin Jing tied the mouth of the cloth bag and hid it behind her, "I warn you, don't think about these flowers, it's a gift from the emperor, it will kill you But I can’t afford it, you know?”

"That's right, these are the old prince's apology. There are so many precious seeds. If you destroy them, we can only sell you!" Xue Ruitian received Jin Jing's gaze and added, "No, Even if you sell it, you won’t be able to afford it!”

"Didn't I just take a look at the cloth bag? Why are you so nervous!" Jin Miaomiao looked at her brother with a disgusted face, ran to Hongye, sat with her, and rushed Seeing Jin Jing make a face, "I won't play with you guys anymore!"

Shen Cha looked at Jin Miaomiao who was driven away by the partnership of Jin Jing and Xue Ruitian, shook his head lightly, and said helplessly, "Miao Miao is so stupid, she is no match for Brother Xiaotian and Brother Xiaojing!"

"It's just teasing her. It's very interesting to watch her run away in anger." Shen Haolin looked at Mei Lin, "Go to the dining room to see if lunch is ready, tell Master Mo to hurry up Since Eunuch Pan doesn’t want to stay and celebrate the New Year with us, he might as well have dinner earlier and leave earlier to avoid sleeping in the wilderness at night.”

"Also, according to the list, go to the warehouse and prepare the things." Shen Cha handed Meilin a piece of paper, which was for Eunuch Pan to bring back to Xijing, "Also, tell Master Mo, Eunuch Pan will definitely take his bacon, bacon, and bacon back home, everyone in the palace loves this, you ask him to prepare more, and some snacks that can last for them to eat on the road."

"Yes, I see!" Merlin nodded, and left the main hall with the list.

After about half a stick of incense, the kitchen helpers in the dining room brought over the lunch boxes and put them on everyone's table. No one had a plate of roast lamb leg and a plate of steamed bacon. A bowl of stew, thirty dumplings filled with sauerkraut and pork, each dumpling is as big as a palm.In addition to these, there is a big bowl of hot and sour soup.Although the variety is not very rich, it is completely full.

"Alcohol is banned in the army, and my father-in-law has to go on his way in the afternoon, so it's not suitable for drinking, so we use tea instead of wine, and toast your father-in-law." As the owner of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, Shen Haolin stood up and raised the cup in his hand, "Advance Happy New Year to my father-in-law, wishing my father-in-law all wishes come true in the new year."

"Thank you, Grandpa Pan!" Eunuch Pan took a sip of tea, "Thank you two Highnesses, thank you Lord Marquis, thank you Eldest Miss!"

After drinking this cup of opening tea, the banquet officially begins.Just like what Shen Cha told Mei Lin, Eunuch Pan likes the bacon, bacon and bacon that Master Mo is good at very much. The first chopsticks were stretched out to the plate of steamed bacon, and he couldn't stop after the first bite. , All he could see was the plate of steamed bacon, and he couldn't see anything else at all.

"Give me this to my father-in-law." Shen Haolin handed the plate in front of him to Meizhu. Neither he nor Shen Cha liked the taste very much, especially Shen Cha, because it was a little lighter since childhood. I can't appreciate something so heavy.

"Thank you, Grandpa Pan!" Eunuch Pan nodded towards Shen Haolin, "I don't know, Master Mo's craftsmanship is very popular in the palace, and every time the bacon sent by the Grandpa is robbed. I like it, this time when the servant came out, the Empress Dowager specifically asked the servant to bring back more bacon. So..." Eunuch Pan looked at Shen Haolin embarrassedly, "The servant..."

"Elder-in-law don't need to talk too much!" Shen Haolin smiled at him, "I have already ordered the tea, some things are for Eunuch to take back to Beijing and the palace, and some are for Eunuch to eat on the way. Please trouble Eunuch for the New Year's Eve If you don’t eat well on the way, we will feel even more uncomfortable. Please don’t refuse this kind of food.”

"Thank you, Lord Guo, the servant girl accepted it with a shy face."

"Don't say that, and don't always be so polite to us, it's too alien!" Xue Ruitian finished eating a dumpling, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "You are our elder, and it is our duty to take care of you." Responsibility is what we should do.”

Eunuch Pan didn't speak, just smiled at Xue Ruitian, and continued to eat hard.

After eating this meal for more than half an hour, and drinking a pot of tea after the meal, Eunuch Pan saw that the time was almost up, so he got up and said goodbye to everyone.

Qin Zheng and Shen Haolin brought him and a hundred brothers from the imperial army to the gate. When they came, so many carriages were full, and when they returned, there was still not a single carriage empty. There are several big boxes packed, and it seems that there are more than when they came.

Eunuch Pan got on his horse, called out his number, and returned with a convoy of imperial troops.

Shen Cha was a little worried, and sent six shadows to follow him all the way, telling them to watch Eunuch Pan return to the capital and enter the palace with their own eyes.

After sending off Eunuch Pan and his party, Qin Zheng and Yan Bo went back to their yard, Song Qiyun, Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu went back to the barracks to do their business, Jin Miaomiao took the three children back for an afternoon nap, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing and Hongye returned to the Nuan Pavilion.

As soon as they entered the Nuan Pavilion, they saw a dozen large boxes on the ground, and all of them had worried looks on their faces.

"By the way, what did Eunuch Pan stuff for you before he left?" Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha and asked curiously, "It's still very secretive, as if we might see it, could it be another secret letter from His Majesty? "

"It shouldn't be, it looks very thin!" Shen Cha took out the envelope from his arms, tore open the envelope, and poured out a note and an amulet from Daguangji Temple in Xijing from inside.

"Amulet?" Shen Haolin took the amulet and looked at it, then leaned over to read the content of the note, "This amulet was asked by His Majesty to go to Daguangji Temple when he sneaked out of the palace, and he made offerings in front of the Buddha." 81 days." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows lightly, "I hope you wear it with you, you will be safe!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Your Majesty really has a heart!"

Xue Ruitian and Shen Haolin exchanged a look, and the two started to grind their teeth at the same time. Song Jue, a bastard, has more and more tricks, and his tricks are getting more and more new. I really have to guard against it!
