Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 148 The Powerful Little Wine

Even though the sound of firecrackers outside never stopped that night, Shen Haolin slept very peacefully and did not wake up even once.The happiest thing in life is to be able to sleep until you wake up naturally, but Shen Haolin only experienced such a beautiful thing when he was sick or injured. This is the first time in his life, and the young Duke expressed his satisfaction .

Stretching out his hand to touch the bed beside him, it was icy cold, obviously the people around him had been up for a long time, Shen Haolin opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, when he looked up, he saw Shen Cha wrapped in a thick blanket, sitting on the soft couch Holding a booklet in his hand, he read it with gusto.

"Why do you get up so early?" Shen Haolin got off from putting on his cotton shoes, walked over to Shen Cha and sat down, hugged her in his arms, reached out to touch her hand, and asked, "What are you looking at so seriously?" ?”

"Brother is up? Good morning!" Shen Cha, who woke up early and sat on the soft couch while drinking tea and concentrating on checking things, didn't notice that Shen Haolin had woken up. He felt his temperature before he reacted and turned around. Smiling at his elder brother, "I'm looking at the handwriting left by my father, I found it from the hidden compartment behind the bookshelf."

"What did you find?" Shen Haolin rested his chin on Shen Cha's shoulder, pointed to the page she was reading, and asked, "This...is this father's handbook? What is it all about?" ?”

"It's a love poem written by my father to my mother. Each one is deeply touching!" Shen Cha shook his head helplessly, put the booklet aside, looked up and saw Shen Haolin's indescribable expression, and smiled, "Brother, can't take it anymore? I've been stimulated for half an hour!" She pointed to a few books stacked on the small table, and said, "These books are all similar, and the records in them are similar. It's all about the father's deep love for his mother. I never expected that the father, who is so rigid and boring on the surface, is actually like this behind the scenes. He speaks love words and writes love poems, which is much better than Brother Xiaotian's sweet words The most important thing is..." Shen Cha curled her lips, "Mother is still writing comments for him below, and then, father writes a poem in response, the two of them go back and forth, it is really interesting " She sighed softly, "Father left these to us, didn't he consider our feelings?"

"Hehehehe..." Shen Haolin was amused by Shen Cha's description, and laughed happily on her shoulder. "Hehehe, this is the boudoir of father and mother. Their relationship is even better than Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue next door! It turns out that Master Huilan said that he would never appear on the same occasion as father and mother. He is a monk. , can't stand that stimulus."

"The master is right, and I can't bear it either. I don't really want to understand what kind of taste that is. I can understand what they wrote, but it feels so nasty and scary!" Shen Cha couldn't help but yell She shivered, "Is it okay to say something well? Do you have to be so sour?" She leaned into Shen Haolin's arms, "Brother, will you become like your father in the future?"

"Well...it's a secret, you'll know it later!" Shen Haolin smiled mysteriously, lowered his head and kissed Shen Cha, he looked at the stack of brochures on the table, and asked, "Apart from these love poems, there is no Anything else?" Shen Haolin stretched out his hand to flip through other booklets, "Father's things... that's all? Is there any more in the warehouse behind?"

"No, it's all here." Shen Cha shook his head, "Not only is there nothing we want to know, but our father didn't even mention it in his letter." She sighed softly, "It seems , I can only place my hopes on Master and Uncle Yan. If it doesn’t work, I will ask Master. In order to prevent Master from being unhappy, I can bring three younger juniors and let them act like a baby with Master by the side. Maybe Master can tell us."

"It's definitely not good for your three juniors to be coquettish, and you are not bad. What your master is most afraid of is that you will be unhappy!"

"My master is afraid that Uncle Yan is not happy! In my master's heart, Uncle Yan is the number one!"

"That's right!" Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha's head, "Forget about this, it's almost time, I'm going to wash up, we should go."

Shen Cha agreed, jumped off the soft couch, and took out the clothes and boots she was going to wear today from the closet.

After a cup of tea, the two dressed neatly, took Mei Lin and Mei Zhu who had been waiting at the door, out of Tiger Hill, and walked towards the main courtyard.

Since the passing of the old man and his wife, the main courtyard has been completely sealed off, leaving only a side door. The main house where the old man and his wife used to live has been converted into a mansion. The ancestral hall of the mansion enshrines the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Shen family. Except for Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Shen Jiu, no one else is allowed to enter.

Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, Qingming Festival, and the birthdays and death dates of our ancestors, and when Shen Haolin was confused and caught in a difficult situation, he would come to the ancestral hall, kneel in front of the ancestor's spiritual tablet, and tell the details of this period of time. .

Shen Jiu, who was told by Shen Haolin the night before that he must not be late, stood at the gate of the main courtyard early. Seeing Shen Haolin and Shen Cha coming from a distance, the young boy happily waved his paws at them, and waited until Shen Haolin Walking up to him, Shen Jiu pounced on Shen Haolin's back.

Fortunately, Shen Haolin had already taken precautions, otherwise he might have been thrown down by this kid.

"Brother, Happy New Year!" Shen Jiu smiled at Shen Cha, "Sister, Happy New Year!"

"Happy Chinese New Year!" Shen Cha patted his brother's head, "You still haven't got off your brother? Let your brother carry you, what are you talking about!"

"No!" Shen Jiu put his arms around Shen Haolin's neck, raised his head, and said, "I want my elder brother to carry me on his back. Every year when the ancestors are worshipped, the elder brother carries me into the ancestral hall, and this year is no exception. Wait until the elder brother When I can’t carry me, it’s time for me to carry Big Brother.”

"Hey, listen, listen, our Xiaojiu is really a good boy, if you can say this, the elder brother has not been in vain for so many years!" Shen Haolin shook his head at Shen Cha, "Okay, the elder brother will recite it now." I'm waiting for you! When the big brother can't carry you, you can carry the big brother!" He walked into the main courtyard with Shen Jiu on his back, turned around and said to Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, "You stay, if Xiao Tian comes over, let him wait for a while a while."

"Yes, my lord!"

Shen Haolin walked towards the main house with Shen Jiu on his back, Shen Cha followed the two of them, watched them whispering as they walked, and sighed softly, time flies, more than ten years have passed in a flash, she Her elder brother has grown from a young boy to an indomitable man, and her younger brother has grown from an ignorant child to an admirable young general.

"What are you thinking?" Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha who was behind them, "Could it be that I want to carry you behind my back?"

"Back it, back it!" Shen Jiu slapped his hands and booed aside.

"Ah, come to think of it, I haven't recited you since you were ten years old." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, with a malicious expression on his face, "Do you want to relive your childhood memories?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Jiu jumped off Shen Haolin's back, ran to his sister, and pulled his sister to Shen Haolin's side.

"Stop making trouble!" Shen Cha's face turned red, and he glared at Shen Haolin, then at the booing Shen Jiu, "The appearance at the gate of the ancestral hall is disrespectful to the ancestors. punish you!"

"Don't worry, the ancestors will never punish us! Not only will they not punish us, but they will reward us!" Shen Haolin winked at Shen Jiu, "Is it?"

"What is it!" Shen Cha snorted, and went straight to the main house with a blushing face.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I'm shy!" Shen Jiu took Shen Haolin's arm and ran after Shen Cha, and said in a low voice while running, "Brother, you need to work harder, I am optimistic about you!"

"You... those small eyes are poisonous enough, how did you see that?"

"Intuition!" Shen Jiu shook his head triumphantly, "Since I was very young, I thought that the two of you are the best match together, and my sister must also like my eldest brother, otherwise, it wouldn't be this Reaction. Look at Brother Xiaotian, who chases after my sister all day long and shows courteousness. My sister doesn’t have this kind of reaction.” Chen Jiu raised his eyebrows, “Brother, you have to promise me that no matter how slow my sister’s reaction is, you will Can't give up!"

"The person whom the eldest brother recognizes will not let go easily."

"Then you have to promise me that you will treat my sister well for the rest of your life, otherwise, I will kill my relatives righteously!"

"I promise you!" Shen Haolin rubbed Shen Jiu's head, and said seriously, "I will treat her very well, very well, for the rest of my life."
