Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 150 Behind the Temple Fair

"You two just watched me fall, and you don't give me a hand now, it's too much!" Shen Jiu was pulled up by Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, and while patting the dirt on his body, he complained, "It's a good thing I fell Except for a large pile of soil, there are no messy things in this pit, otherwise, I will become a small sieve now!"

"Then who can you blame?" Shen Haolin took out a handkerchief and wiped Shen Jiu's face, "I just reminded you to watch the road carefully."

"Then I don't care about it!" Shen Jiu pouted, "Brother, and sister, because you didn't take good care of me, you will be responsible for all the expenses of going to the temple fair today, I am only responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun! "

"Okay, today you are the boss, you can do whatever you say!" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, sighed at the same time, and said, "Look at the dirt on your clothes, go back and change one! My sister and I I have to go back to change clothes and eat something by the way."

"Okay!" Shen Jiu nodded, he knew that his eldest brother and sister didn't eat those messy snacks on the street very much, and they only ate it once in a while, because Brother Xiaotian tried many times to confirm that it was clean and there was no problem eating it bring them.Shen Jiu looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's holding hands with a smile, then looked up at the sky, and said, "It's still early, there are still many stalls that have not been set up, and there is nothing to visit. Otherwise, Let's gather at the gate of the mansion in half an hour, okay?"

"Okay, that's the decision. You should also eat something to fill your stomach. No matter how delicious the snacks outside are, you can't eat too much."

Shen Haolin nodded, and took Shen Cha to Huqiu, while Shen Jiu went back to his yard.

Back at Huqiu, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha took off the white robes specially worn for ancestor worship, and changed into a dark blue robe, which was thicker than the white robes and was more suitable for long-term outdoor activities.

Mei Lin and Mei Zhu took advantage of the two of them changing clothes, and ran to the dining room. Several young helpers in the dining room were already busy. When the ancestors were done, he quickly put the prepared breakfast into the food box and handed it to the two female guards.Mei Lin and Mei Zhu thanked the kitchen helpers and went back with the food box. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Ying Wu standing outside, talking to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha.

"Grandpa, General, breakfast is here!" Merlin cleared the table, took out all the contents of the food box and put it on top, "Little Fifth Brother, you want to stay and have dinner with the Duke and the General Is it? I'll go to the dining room and get your breakfast."

"I've eaten, talk to the marshal and the boss and leave." Ying Wu smiled at Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, then turned to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha and said, "That's what Shisan said, it seems that Wan Yan Xi was completely disgusted by the Yelu family and the Xiao family. As soon as he entered Xijing City, he told the officials of Honglu Temple who were in charge of receiving them that their Deputy envoy of Yanxie was not acclimatized and was unwell and could not come out to meet him. Besides asking for forgiveness, he also I made a request to find a relatively quiet room for their Deputy Envoy Yanxie to recuperate."

"The people in Honglu Temple and the Post House should have received His Majesty's order to closely monitor this Deputy Envoy named Yanxie. Xiao Fengqi and Yelunan made this request, and they expected it." Shen Cha looked at the shadow. Fifth, "How is the situation on the side of the Forbidden Army? Commander Bai has made arrangements?"

"Yes!" Ying Wu nodded, "After the mission entered Beijing, Shisan immediately went to see the Grand Commander, and presented the letter from Lord Guo and you to the Grand Commander. After the Grand Commander read it, let Thirteen Tell the Duke and the Boss, please rest assured, he will not disappoint you, he will definitely treat Wan Yanxi seriously, and will never let him have a chance to escape from the posthouse."

"The commander-in-chief followed His Majesty out of the city for a walk, as if he had been reborn." Shen Cha smiled, "Please tell the commander-in-chief Thirteen, thank you for his cooperation. After we return to Beijing, the Duke will invite the commander-in-chief to dinner .”

"Yes!" Ying Wu smiled at Shen Haolin, bowed to the two of them, and left, taking Mei Zhu away by the way.

"These two..." Shen Haolin looked at Ying Wu, then at Mei Zhu who was dragged away by Ying Wu, and blinked, "Do they like each other? Every time Xiao Wu comes, he always grabs Mei Lin and talks. Mei Lin That’s right, every time I stuff Xiao Wu with this and that, as if he has nothing to eat outside.”

"Not sure." Shen Cha shook his head blankly, "When I have time, I will ask Merlin. If there is such a thing, why don't you come forward and let Xiao Wu come to me to propose marriage? If he refuses Come on, just scare him."

"What are you trying to scare him? Xiao Wu is such a cold and calm person, can you scare him?" Shen Haolin opened his mouth to bite off the steamed dumpling that Shen Cha handed to him, and accidentally bit Shen Cha's fingertips , seeing that the tips of Shen Cha's ears were red, he smiled maliciously, took Shen Cha's hand that was about to retract, and asked, "What did you say to your father and mother?"

"I talked a lot, but I can't tell my brother." Shen Cha pulled Shen Haolin to the back of the desk and sat down, and put a bowl of vegetable porridge in front of him. Secret, right?"

"It's a little secret, Cha'er has really grown up." Shen Haolin let go of Shen Cha's hand, and said sadly, "The grown-up Cha'er doesn't need me anymore, so sad!"

"Brother, Brother Xiaotian's way is not suitable for you, it will damage your image in my heart." Shen Cha rolled his eyes, and stuffed another steamed dumpling into Shen Haolin's mouth, so as not to make any more mischief.

Shen Haolin chewed the steamed dumplings with a smile, and fed the vegetable porridge to Shen Cha's mouth spoon by spoon.

After the two of them dally finished their breakfast, it was almost the time agreed with Shen Jiu. Shen Cha took out a purse from the hidden compartment of the bookshelf, opened it to look at the broken silver inside, thought for a while, and then went to In the other box, I grabbed three copper plates and put them in, and then stuffed the purse into Shen Haolin's sleeve.

"Let's go!" Shen Haolin put the cloak on for Shen Cha, put a hand stove in her hand, and then pulled her out the door.

When the two arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw Song Qiyun and Shen Jiu standing shoulder to shoulder and whispering together. When the two young boys saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, they happily waved to them.

"Your Majesty, Happy New Year!" After bowing to Song Qiyun, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha took a little look at his and Shen Jiu's attire, two identical cloaks and identical cotton robes, the craftsmanship should have come from the palace.

"Brother, sister, don't our clothes look good?" Shen Jiu put Song Qiyun's shoulders and said with a smile, "Brother Xiaoyun said, this color suits me better, and I will look very cute after wearing it. But... ..." He tilted his head to look at Song Qiyun, "Shouldn't boys use the word handsome? Cute or something... it should be used to describe girls, right?"

"You're a little boy, it doesn't matter." Song Qiyun pinched Shen Jiu's face, "Brother, Miss Cha, you don't mind if I join you?"

"It's our honor that the prince of the county is willing to show you the honor, but..." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly, "Does the prince of the county not have to be on duty today or go on patrol? If I remember correctly, on the first day of the new year, the prince of the county will You should take your team to patrol the city, right? If I'm not mistaken, the county prince has switched with Vice-General Xia? Should Vice-General Xia rest today?"

"Miss Xiaocha has a really good memory. It is true that I should be on duty today, and Xiao Jiu is the day after tomorrow, but he invited his cousin to the theater the day after tomorrow, so we switched." Song Qiyun approached Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. In front of you, "Are you angry?"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much, but it's just this one time, it's not an example." Shen Haolin rubbed Song Qiyun's head, "If you find out again, you will be severely punished."

"I understand, the prince committed the same crime as the common people!" Song Qiyun swore, "There will never be a next time!"

"Okay, let's go!" Shen Cha grabbed Shen Haolin's arm, and said to Song Qiyun and Shen Jiu, "You two go ahead and lead us."

"No problem, just follow us."

At the east end of Jiapingguan City, there is a temple dedicated to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, there are many pilgrims and the incense is very strong.The temple fair during the Chinese New Year is held here every year. Those devout people who come here without breakfast come here early to make incense and make a wish. After leaving the temple gate, they can find a stall to feed their stomachs.

When Shen Haolin and Shen Cha arrived, there was already a sea of ​​people, and as far as the eye could see, it was densely packed with darkness.Fortunately, they had already made a plan before, and this year they added two patrol teams here to ensure the safety of the temple fair.

"Yo!" They ran into Wei Zixin who was in charge of patrolling this side as soon as they arrived. He saluted Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and winked at Song Qiyun and Shen Jiu, "Are you going to visit the temple fair together? Ban Zhu Before the fragrance, Lord Hou brought Hongye and sister Miao Miao brought the three little ones in."

"I didn't make an appointment. I dragged my eldest brother and sister here. Otherwise, the two of them would have been bored in the house from morning till night." Shen Jiu looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, "We're going Are you looking for Brother Xiaotian?"

"Xiao Jiu, are you joking?" Wei Zixin patted Shen Jiu on the shoulder, "How many people do you know? Nearly half of the city's people are here! Look, you can't find it, just look Is there any fate to meet!"

"We're leaving, so we won't delay your patrol." Shen Cha remembered what Ying Wu said to him in the morning, and waved to Wei Zixin, motioning for him to come over, "Pay attention and see if there is that tall, thin black man." Clothes man."

"The general means..." Wei Zixin's eyes lit up, "He will come to the temple fair?"

"I've been holding it back for two months, why do I have to come out to take a breather, don't I?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "Just pay more attention, tell the other brothers, and pay attention, if you find someone, don't make a fuss. Don't startle the snake, let us know right away, understand?"

"Yes, General!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Shen Cha nodded towards Wei Zixin, and walked to Shen Haolin who was buying crystal balls for Song Qiyun and Shen Jiu.

"arranged?"

"Well! It's fine if he doesn't come, but if he comes, he will never come back!"
