Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 139 Mezzanine

Shen Cha liked the amulet Song Jue gave her very much, and put it in the sachet she carried with her. No matter whether she would accept Song Jue's affection or not, she accepted this kind of affection.In her heart, as soon as the amulet looked up, she saw Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian gnashing their teeth, and thought it was funny.She reached out and patted Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian's shoulders, signaling them to relax a little and not to be so nervous.

"I've said it before, no matter what your Majesty expresses, I will never like him, let alone enter the palace." Shen Cha took a sip from his teacup, "You guys also restrain yourself a little, don't give him something every time Or just use this expression to express something, okay?" Shen Cha raised her eyebrows, "What interesting ideas did you think of for tonight's family dinner? We can't just eat and drink, can we? It's too boring, I can't stick to it child time."

"Let's talk, chat, it'll be time in a while." Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Cha and asked, "Has the ancestral hall been cleaned?"

"Don't worry, the ancestral hall is cleaned every day, there will be no negligence. By the way..." Shen Cha blinked, "Are the firecrackers ready? There are children in our house this year, although they can't be allowed to light the cannons Bamboo, it’s also very interesting for them to look at.”

"Of course!" Xue Ruitian shook his head, "There are two big boxes, enough for one night! But..." He looked outside worriedly, "With such a heavy snow, no one is willing to go out to set off firecrackers, right? "

"It's a sign of auspiciousness to let it go when it's cold. Especially for us, there have been too many unlucky things these days, so let's let off firecrackers to get rid of the bad luck, right?" Jin Jing said with a fan Looking at Xue Ruitian's shoulder, he asked him to help bring the plate of melon seeds on the small table, "Although I just ate, I still feel hungry. Sure enough, I eat a lot when it's cold, and my mouth can't stop for a moment." Yes. The roast leg of lamb at noon tastes good, I hope they can do it again tonight."

"Yan Bo asked people to clean up the small dining room of the Duke's mansion. Today's family banquet is to send a few people from the big dining room over there to assist Miao Miao. The roast leg of lamb is probably hopeless, and pork and sauerkraut dumplings are still available. " Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder, closed his eyes slightly, "I'll take a break for a while, and I'll deal with the boxes piled up over there later." She pointed to more than a dozen neatly placed boxes on one side. He sighed softly, "Although the weather is very cold now, these foods can be stored for a long time without worrying about them being spoiled, but snacks and candies are at best a decoration, and no one would treat them as a meal." Eat, don’t eat three meals a day, just eat this? I have thought about sending all the snacks to the army, but one person can’t do it. Instead of doing this, it’s better not to divide it, so that you don’t have it because you have it and I don’t It creates some unnecessary differences, which is not conducive to unity."

"Cha'er is right!" Shen Haolin nodded, and took the blanket next to him to cover Shen Cha's lap, "I have an idea, there are some old men in the army, and many people neither like snacks nor They don't like candy, they prefer to eat meat. So, I think we keep some and send some to the shadow side, and then the chief generals of each army will share a little bit more, and give their lieutenants a share. As for the candy... just keep it, no one wants to eat it, there are many children in our army, let's share it with them slowly!"

"Brother's idea is very good, I agree!" Shen Cha nodded, "As long as it can be allocated and not wasted, anything is fine!"

"I just said that Song Jue is a guy with no brains. Sending these things is not a reward for us, but a trouble for us." Xue Ruitian stood up, walked to those boxes, and opened one of them, "It's not too stupid, the box The name and taste of the dim sum inside are written on the cover, let me declare first, I don’t want to eat that salty dim sum, I leave it to you.”

"Me too." Jin Jing and Hong Ye said in unison, "Non-sweet dim sum is not worthy of being called dim sum!"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha pouted at the same time, the two of them disliked sweet things the least, and they only ate salty ones for dessert.

"Hey, this tea cake is delicious. It should be a kind of mung bean cake, but it has a faint tea fragrance and is not particularly sweet." Hongye found one she liked, and took the small box out of the box. Take it out, and ran to Shen Cha, "Ah, open your mouth!"

Shen Cha held Hongye's hand and took a bite of the tea cake, "Mmm, it's delicious!"

"That's right, that's right!" Hong Ye put the whole box in front of Shen Cha and Shen Haolin, turned around and went to search for others.

"Leave me two boxes of each kind of dessert, and I will send them to Master and Yan Bo." Seeing Xue Ruitian took out a box of candies, Shen Cha shook his head, "They are getting older, so they should eat less sweets." Yes, snacks are enough. Besides, they don't like sweet things any more than we do.

"Hey, I don't like sweet things, how boring life is!" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing took out what Shen Cha asked for and put them aside, "As for candy, children should like it very much, right? But, they can't If you let them eat too much, you still need to be more restrained. If you choose ten of each kind, the total quantity will be enough, enough for them to eat for many days." Xue Ruitian began to rummage through boxes and boxes while talking, "By the way, there are still several boxes What about the silk cloth, what should we do with it? If we had known that Song Jue would send these things, we wouldn’t have to make new clothes so early.”

"He sent it here today, but he has to find a tailor to make it now, and he won't be able to wear it tomorrow." Hongye rolled her eyes, found a delicious osmanthus cake from a box, took a piece by herself, and left the rest That box was delivered to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha again.

"Healing from a serious illness, let's eat less!" Shen Cha stretched out his hand to poke Hongye's forehead, "You are also a strange person, you don't even know you are sick, what are you talking about... It's just that your whole body is sore and uncomfortable, I don't know what it is What's wrong!"

"I'm different from you!" Hong Ye sat beside Shen Cha, "You have become a doctor after a long illness, and you will notice when you feel unwell. I'm different. From childhood to adulthood, when did you see me born? Sick?"

"Isn't it!" Xue Ruitian put the candy for the three children into three small boxes, walked over and put it in front of Shen Cha, "I was like a calf when I was young, you and Jin Miaomiao should They are sisters, Jin Miaomiao can smash bluestone bricks into eight petals with one punch, and you, eight horses can't move you. One can imagine how strong you two are!" Xue Ruitian lay on the ground On the table, he smirked at Hongye, "The guy who said you are as light as a swallow, do you have bad eyesight? You should ask the doctor to see your eyes!"

"Didn't you just say it, Lord Hou!" Hongye snorted twice and stretched, "By the way, I almost forgot!" She reached out to pat Xue Ruitian's arm, "Master Hou, remember, These mornings!"

"Mornings these days? Oh!" Xue Ruitian nodded and looked at Shen Cha, "That Dai Yi really knows how to make progress. We have seen him come out to practice very early for several days in a row. At that time, most people Everyone should be sleeping! Why, isn’t this kid’s test score very good? Is he in danger of being kicked out?”

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "Seventeen told me yesterday that Xiaosi dealt with Dai Yi severely, but he had a high opinion of him and thought he was a good seedling, but whether he can succeed or not depends on It depends on him. If he can't break through himself, and he can't pass the assessment after the new year, no matter how potential he has, he should be kicked out, or he will be kicked out."

"I really didn't expect it!" Xue Ruitian sighed, "This kid has won the attention of so many people because of a thoughtless act."

Just as Shen Cha was about to say something, he heard Jin Jing shouting loudly from there.

"Come and see, there is a mezzanine here!"

Everyone looked at each other, stood up quickly, and rushed to Jin Jing's side.

"What's in the interlayer?" The box with the interlayer is used to hold candy, and Jin Jing has already poured out the candy. Shen Haolin told everyone to back up, took the short sword handed over by Xue Ruitian, and pried open the box On the inner wall, there is a letter in the interlayer. "His Majesty's secret letter." Shen Haolin looked at the special imprint left by Song Jue on the envelope, raised his eyebrows lightly, reached for the envelope, and handed it to Shen Cha, "This letter should be for you."

"En!" Shen Cha nodded, took the letter, tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter paper, glanced at it quickly, and sighed softly, "This discovery, for one of us, is a very important thing. Good thing." She handed the letter paper to Shen Haolin, turned to look at Xue Ruitian, and said seriously, "Brother Xiaotian, you are completely relieved."

"What do you mean?" Xue Ruitian looked nervously and blankly at Shen Cha, then at Shen Haolin, "Is it related to me?"

"Your Majesty's shadow has been staring at your grandfather's house, to be precise, it's staring at your uncle and your aunt."

"It's the same as back then..."

"No!" Shen Cha shook his head, "It has nothing to do with that matter, this time I found out that... there is no one in my grandfather's family except the queen mother in the palace."

"This is..." Jin Jing blinked, "This means that the people in that mansion in Xijing are all fake?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "Brother Xiaotian's uncle and aunt were all silenced because of that incident back then, and some people disguised themselves as them and continued to live in Daxia."

"What about them?"

"Killed in a fire!"
