Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 143 New Year's Eve 2.0

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha returned to Huqiu. Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, who came back early, prepared hot water, helped the two of them take off their cloaks, outer robes, and cotton boots with a thick layer of snow, and took out the clothes at home. On the soft couch, they left the room. The two of them also participated in the family banquet tonight, and they had to go back to get ready to attend the family banquet beautifully.

After washing his face with hot water, soaking his feet, and pouring a large bowl of ginger soup to dissipate the chill from his body, Shen Haolin changed his clothes, hugged the stove, and leaned comfortably on the soft couch, watching Shen Cha stood in front of the wardrobe worrying.

"Put this on!" Shen Cha pinched his nose and finished drinking the ginger soup, then threw the bowl on the outside table, stuffed another piece of sugar into his mouth, relieved the spicy ginger smell, washed his hands, and reappeared. Back to the closet, he took out two light pink robes from inside, and shook them in front of Shen Haolin, "Our clothes are either black or white, which is considered a more festive color."

"This dress... doesn't look like your style. You probably wouldn't choose this color." Shen Haolin took it over and looked at it, then handed it to Shen Cha, "The material is good, and the style is also good. Is it a popular style in Xijing this year?"

"Yes, you remember the last time His Majesty sent a letter, which contained the styles of Xijing's winter clothes, and Miao Miao asked a tailor to make them like this." Shen Cha put the selected clothes and matching boots Putting it aside, he took two blankets and covered Shen Haolin's body, and said, "I didn't choose this material, it was chosen by Miaomiao and Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu said that this color matches us very well. We all compare it to each other. Bai, unlike him, will turn black like a briquette every time he goes to the battlefield or in the sun. Moreover, he said, we always wear white or black, and we look old-fashioned, which is different from our current age. It doesn't match. Fortunately, Xiaojiu is back now, and he is very confident in wearing this color. He also made one and said he would wear it at today's family banquet." Shen Cha shivered, and quickly got into the blanket Inside, "It's so cold, it seems that it will be much colder when the snow stops and it will continue to fall. In the morning, I told the several teams in charge of patrolling today to see if there is any charcoal fire." Yes, if you see which one doesn’t pay attention to the fire, you should remind them not to get cold during the Chinese New Year, but don’t run out of water either.”

"That's right, the wind is still very strong today, and it's very easy to get caught in the water. Don't let the excitement end, it becomes a tragedy." Shen Haolin put the stove aside, hugged Shen Cha in his arms, and kissed her He raised his hair and said, "Go to sleep. If you can't sleep, you have to nourish your energy. It doesn't matter what time it will be at night. Today is the Chinese New Year. They will definitely drink and have a lot of trouble!"

"Drink, it doesn't matter if you're drunk, if you dare to mess around, throw them all in the snow to sober up!" Shen Cha rubbed in Shen Haolin's arms, "Except for Brother Xiaotian, today he is going to Jiewa in the room. , it doesn't matter, he can make trouble as he pleases."

"Still worried about him?" Shen Haolin tightened his arms, "That kid is awake, and there is no other relationship between them except hatred. Even if those people are alive, they will end up like this in the end. They did something wrong back then. He was retaliated right away, which can be regarded as fulfilling Xiaotian's wish. I don't think Xiaotian will be entangled in this for too long, and his main target is the person behind the scenes." Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha on the back, "Don't think too much, go to sleep!"

"Oh!" Shen Cha responded, and obediently closed his eyes.

She didn't sleep for too long, at most two hours. She felt that she was woken up by Shen Haolin as soon as she closed her eyes and felt a little drowsy.

"It's time?" Shen Cha sat up lazily, probably because he had just woken up and was still a little dizzy, so he swayed back and forth, fell into Shen Haolin's arms, and rubbed against his shoulder twice, "I'll sleep a little longer, just sleep!"

She kept talking, but Shen Cha fell asleep for a cup of tea, and when Mei Lin and Mei Zhu came in, she was still in a half-asleep and half-awake state.

"Grandpa, General, Happy New Year!" Mei Lin and Mei Zhu had already put on their newly made pink robes, saluted Shen Haolin and Shen Cha with smiles, and took the two small purses that Shen Haolin handed to them, " Thank you Lord, thank you general!"

"You're welcome, it should be!" Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder, and said in a daze, "In the new year, we will continue to walk together hand in hand."

"Yes, General!" Merlin saluted, saw the wink from Shen Haolin, nodded lightly, went outside, dipped a little cold water on a handkerchief, walked back, and said, "General, I've offended you."

After finishing speaking, she gently wiped Shen Cha's face with a handkerchief soaked in cold water.

"Ah, it's so cold!" Shen Cha was shocked by the ice, and immediately opened his eyes, "Merlin, you've failed at learning, who did you learn from!"

"General, it's not my fault!" Merlin hid the handkerchief behind his back, pointed at Shen Haolin, "This is the idea of ​​the Duke!"

"You sold me out in a short time!" Shen Haolin shook his head helplessly, "Okay, it's time to get up, as the master, we can't make everyone wait for us, right? Besides, there are elders here I am!"

"Got it, got it, I'm getting up now!" Shen Cha was shattered by the ice just now, and the only sleepiness left was gone. She stretched, jumped off the soft couch, and ran outside to take a shower. A face, completely refreshed.She picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea, walked back and picked up the robes on the hanger, handed one of them to Mei Zhu, and said, "Help the Duke change."

After changing their clothes and boots, the two of them put on the toasted, dry and warm cloaks, left Tiger Hill with Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, and walked slowly towards the Nuan Pavilion.When they reached the gate of the Nuan Pavilion, they saw Yan Bo standing there wrapped in a thick white fox fur, directing the guards of the Duke's Mansion to help in the Nuan Pavilion.

When the guards saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, they stopped in their tracks and saluted them.

"Master and Miss, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Happy New Year to you too!" Shen Haolin smiled slightly, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Grandpa, you are welcome, don't work hard!"

Shen Haolin pulled Shen Cha up the steps, came to Yan Bo, and said with a smile, "Yan Bo, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Grandpa, Missy, Happy New Year!" Yan Bo nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed into the warm pavilion, "It's really cold outside, hurry up and get warm!"

"Yes!" Shen Cha followed Shen Haolin for a few steps, then retreated after thinking of something, and whispered something in Yan Bo's ear, "Take a chance to tell Master, if he drinks too much and goes crazy, Please forgive me, Master. I saw Brother Xiaotian chatting in the room just now, so it is not convenient to go over and say this, Uncle Yan, please don’t forget it!"

"Don't worry, this is an important matter, and I won't forget it. But..." Yan Bo poked his head to look inside, and let the guards carrying fruits enter the door. "This news came really suddenly, but it is still good news. , It can solve Xiaotian's heart knot for so many years. No wonder, I see that he is refreshed today, and his feeling is different from every day. He is really refreshed on happy occasions!"

"Yeah, we're happy for him too!" Shen Cha waved to Jin Jing and the three children who were walking this way, "Then I'll go in first, you must remember that Master hates drinking the most Crazy, don't turn around and bump into Brother Xiaotian."

"Leave it to me, I'll tell him in a while!" Yan Bo patted Shen Cha's shoulder, "I won't let Xiaotian suffer!"

"What do you suffer? Who wants to suffer?" Jin Miaomiao led the three children over, and when she heard the word "suffering", she first bowed to Uncle Yan, and then asked the three children to give to Yan and Shen Cha. Seeing the ceremony, he said, "Go in, don't freeze here!"

"Go, go, don't worry, I'm here!"

Shen Cha nodded, and entered the Nuan Pavilion with Jin Miaomiao, took off his cloak as he walked, and handed it to Mei Lin behind him.

"I just said that this color suits you very well." Jin Miaomiao looked Shen Cha up and down, and then looked at Shen Haolin who was sitting next to Xue Ruitian, "A man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. It looks about the same age as you, and doesn't look older than you at all."

"Thank you for the compliment. Brother also appreciates that you have better eyesight than me, and the color and material of the clothes are well chosen." Shen Cha stopped, squatted down and said to the three children, "Come on, come with me to celebrate the New Year with Master !"

The three children nodded obediently, and followed Shen Cha to Qin Zheng. A cushion had been placed in front of them. The four of them, headed by Shen Cha, knelt on the cushion and respectfully kowtowed three times to Qin Zheng.

"Master, disciples and juniors wish you New Year's greetings!"

　My aunt was in so much pain that she was dying!
