Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 166 Taking Time to Be a Matchmaker

Xue Ruitian looked at Qin Zheng, then at Yan Bo, nodded very solemnly, and promised, "Uncle Qin, Uncle Yan, please rest assured, I will not go my own way again, and I will not be entangled in this matter anymore. What I have to do now is to try my best to collect evidence and clear my mother's grievances."

"Remember what you said today, don't break your promise." Yan Bo pointed to Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Jing, "The three of them can give us a testimony, if you go back on your word, I will punish you severely. Even if His Majesty reprimands me, I still have something to say." He smiled slightly, and waved to Xue Ruitian who was a little nervous, "Okay, don't be so nervous, I'm just making an example, if you don't make mistakes, you don't have this Something happened."

"A gentleman's promise is as valuable as a thousand pieces of gold." Xue Ruitian smiled, "Since I have decided to give up this path, I will not bring it up again."

"Since everything has been made clear, this matter will come to an end. Don't mention it again, and there is nothing to mention!" Qin Zheng finished his tea and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "What are your plans for the afternoon? Do you want to go to the temple fair?"

"We will definitely not go again, these two people..." Xue Ruitian pointed to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "There was such a big commotion in the morning, many people knew that Duke Zhen went to the temple fair, and if we go again, we will be surrounded by crowds Let's go!" He looked at Qin Zheng, "Do you want to go with Yan Bo?"

"If you don't go, let's go shopping and see what the current temple fair is like." Yan Bo said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it has been many years since I visited a temple fair, and I followed it when I was very young. The adults at home have already been there, and I feel that there are people besides people at the temple fair. However, the snacks sold at the temple fair are really delicious, but some are not very clean. It is better to eat less tea, which is not good for your health. " He looked at Xue Ruitian, then at Shen Haolin, "If you don't go to the temple fair, what other arrangements do you have?"

"I have made a reservation, and I invite Xiao Jingjing and Hao Lin to attend the play." Xue Ruitian stretched his waist, "I also invited Xiao Cha, but she readily refused me."

"Those dramas are all babbling, what's there to hear?" Shen Cha waved his hands, "I'm not interested in that, I went to bed late yesterday and got up early today, so I just took advantage of the fact that you are going to listen to the opera Time to catch up on sleep."

After finishing speaking, Shen Cha stood up, put all the dishes on everyone's table into a food box, and put them at the door of the Nuan Pavilion. When they left, someone would come to collect them.

Qin Zheng and Yan Bo were sent away to go to the temple fair, and Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian, and Jin Jing were sent away to go to the theater. The cloak ran out in a hurry.

"It's freezing cold, why is the general standing in the wind? What if you get sick?" He put the cloak in his hand on Shen Cha's body, and dragged her to the mansion, "General, Master Huilan Are those manuscripts sent to the bedroom?"

"It's no longer needed, send it to the warehouse and get it up. Remember, no one is allowed to take it out of the warehouse, especially Lord Hou!"

"Yes, this subordinate has remembered it, and will tell the shadow of the warehouse, don't let Lord Hou get close to it..."

"Also, go and inform Xiao Wu that there is no need to investigate the ancient city anymore. The environment of that place is harsh and the terrain is dangerous, it's too dangerous." Shen Cha sighed, "Don't let the brothers take risks, it's not worth it."

"The subordinate will tell him in a while, do you have any other orders?"

"Let Xiao Wu send people to keep an eye on Master Hou, especially during the recent period. Whenever Master Hou goes to see anyone, he must report to the Duke and me. There must be no omissions."

"Master Hou?" Mei Lin looked at Shen Cha in confusion, "It was Hongye before, but now it's Master Hou, General... Didn't the Marquis of Wuding do something wrong?"

"What are you thinking? If you really committed a crime, His Majesty will rule, and it's not my turn to take care of it. After all, Lord Hou is also a relative of the emperor, and the two county princes can clean him up." After listening to Mei At Zhu's words, Shen Cha chuckled, and reached out to pat her on the head, "I'm worried that Lord Hou will promise not to go to that ancient city on the surface, and after the limelight passes, he will sneak away or entrust someone to go. Although he promised it in front of my master and Uncle Yan, I am still not at ease. If something happens, how can we explain it to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager? Right?"

"The general is right to think about it. Master Hou has too many thoughts, and he has no idea what he is thinking." Merlin nodded. Just can't see through him."

"If you can see through it, Master Hou will not be Master Hou."

"What the general said is true!" Merlin smiled, looked at Shen Cha, opened his mouth to say something, but closed his mouth again without saying anything.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to tell me?" Seeing Mei Lin hesitated to speak, Shen Cha chuckled, "Do you want to go out and play?"

"General Mingjian." Merlin twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "fourth brother asked me to go out to play yesterday, and I haven't given him a letter of approval. I told him to ask the general first. If you allow me Go, I will go, if there is something for me to do, I will refuse him."

"It's rare for Xiaosi to come back. They asked you out to play, but you still half-push and use me as a shield?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, walked into the bedroom, took off the two cloaks on his body, and handed them to Mei Lin .She turned around, looked at Merlin, and asked seriously, "Tell me, what do you think? If you have a crush on Xiao Si, I'll find a chance to transfer him back. If not If you don't want to, just tell him clearly that such procrastination is not good for both of you. "

"General, it's not that I don't have feelings for him, it's just..." Merlin curled his lips and said sadly, "I don't know whether he's looking for me or Xiaozhu. Every time he comes back, he invites me. But the content of chatting with me is Xiaozhu. So... I don’t understand what he means. I asked him, and he refused to explain clearly. "Meilin moved to Shen Cha In front of him, he whispered, "General, what he doesn't think about is...is..."

"What is it?" Seeing Mei Lin's hard-to-speak expression, Shen Cha understood what she was going to say, "You mean, Xiaosi wants to enjoy the blessings of being equal and marry you two sisters?" Seeing Mei Lin lightly Nodding lightly, Shen Cha rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "I guess not? In this way, let's stop thinking about it by ourselves. It just so happens that Duke Guo and Lord Hou are both out to listen to the opera, and I have nothing to do. You Go and call Xiaosi over, let's clarify this matter face to face. He is interested in you, so you go out with him, and let him come to my place or the Duke's to propose marriage, and we will talk to you Marriage. If you inquire about Xiao Zhu through you, I will take care of him properly.” Seeing Merlin’s distressed face, she stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder, “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s not your fault, let alone Xiao Zhu’s. The one who made the mistake was Xiaosi. He has to tell people face to face whoever he likes, how can he use this method to test? This is not marching and fighting, and he also pays attention to tactics, which is too much!"

"General, it's still not good, right?" Merlin blinked, "It feels like the subordinate has complained to the general."

"There's no such thing as complaining or not. It's only natural for the general to care about his subordinates' emotional issues." Seeing that Mei Lin really couldn't save face, Shen Cha opened the door and waved towards the roof, "Xiao Ba, call your brother over."

"Oh!" Ying Ba jumped down from the roof, glanced at Mei Lin who was still struggling in the bedroom, quietly pulled Shen Cha aside, and whispered, "Boss, let me tell you, my brother likes her Yes, I have already planned to come to you to propose marriage."

"Really?" Shen Cha raised her eyebrows, "Then why didn't you tell Xiao Lin clearly? Look at her embarrassed look."

"My brother was worried that sister Lin would be worried about Xiaozhu, so he tried it. My brother thinks that sister Lin cares too much about Xiaozhu. She puts Xiaozhu first in everything, and can't care about other people's feelings. He is more Worrying, after getting married, Sister Lin still has to take care of Xiao Zhu and throw him aside. If that's the case, what are you doing getting married? Why not just maintain the status quo."

"It's reasonable to hear that." Shen Cha nodded, "The sisters have been living together for so many years, and it is certain that they are inseparable. If this problem cannot be resolved, the marriage will indeed be postponed. It can't be It’s the same when you’re married and when you’re not, right?”

"What the boss said is, anyway, they both have problems, so I'll leave it to you to mediate, we can't control it!" Ying Ba looked at the clothes on Shen Cha's body, held her shoulders, and pushed her back to the bed. In the room, "It's cold outside, boss, go back and wait, my brother will be here in a while."

"Run slowly, slip carefully, don't fall!"

Seeing Ying Ba disappearing in a blink of an eye, Shen Cha shook his head, closed the door, walked to the desk and sat down, looked at the troubled Mei Lin, and sighed softly.
