Jiapingguan Chronicle

Xue Ruitian patted Lao Tang on the shoulder, looked at the things on his trolley, and clicked his tongue twice.

"What other emotion do you want to express?"

"I just feel like your little life has been pretty good since you came back, don't you?"

"That must be very good. After all, the old man is with you. At least you don't have to fool around with your daily life, and you don't have to miss every meal." Lao Tang nodded, looked at Xue Ruitian, then at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, Asked, "I just wanted to ask, how did you come here? There seems to be nothing to play here, right?"

"It's not about playing, we went to the racecourse. Your general's Chibai has given birth to a daughter."

"Really?" Lao Tang's eyes lit up, "Chibai and Chihei finally have the next generation, that's great! General, is the pony good-looking? Is it beautiful?"

"Well, it's good-looking, beautiful, and has black and white fur, which is very rare." Shen Cha was very proud when he mentioned the pony. "The pony is not only good-looking, but also has good leg strength. It has inherited the advantages of her parents."

"It's just that he's a bit out-tempered, a little skinny, and not very obedient." Xue Ruitian was at the side to make up for it, "It's really hard for ordinary people to do it. Now just listen to them..." He pointed at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Just listen to him. Two words."

"It's normal, because pony's parents listen to the words of the commander and the general. Pony's bones bring out the words, and they will definitely be obedient." Lao Tang nodded, "Pony, as time goes by, it will be better slowly. ”

"If you like it, go and take a look when you have time. Uncle Qi won't stop you. Also, take a look at your purple girl, haven't you seen her for a long time?"

"Well, it's true. After two days, I will bring some delicious food to bribe Uncle Qi. I don't go to the racecourse just to see the ponies. I have some ulterior motives." Lao Tang pointed to the things on his stall and asked He said, "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you. It's a celebration for Xiao Ma's birthday."

"One yard is one yard, and the money that should be given must still be given, but you can't save the money you want to give to Xiao Ma for his birthday." Xue Ruitian took out a piece of broken silver and opened the drawer of the car in a familiar way. , and gently threw it in, "Give me the same...half a catty of these in the car?" He looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Is it enough? Isn't it quite enough?"

Shen Cha looked at it, not particularly sure, then looked at Shen Haolin and asked, "It should be enough, they can't drink it for too long, right?"

"Wait a minute!" Lao Tang interrupted them, pointing to the braised food on his cart, and said, "I have almost eleven or twelve kinds of braised food here. Half a catty of each kind would weigh about five or six catties. Although You won’t eat it in one meal, but it won’t taste good after a few days. Are you sure you want to buy so much?”

"Buy it. These old men can't eat, so they can take it to the camp. Those who are on night watch are bored, so it's good to relieve their boredom, right?"

"That's true!" Lao Tang nodded and began to fill Xue Ruitian with braised meat. While pretending to return it, he directed Xue Ruitian, "There is a small jar under my car. Remember to take it away. It will save me another trip."

"What is it?" Xue Ruitian squatted down and saw the small jar Lao Tang was talking about. He stretched out his hand and pulled it out, "It's quite weighty!"

"Before the old man came here, I picked all the fruits at home, marinated them in honey, and made them into preserves. It's almost time to eat them." Lao Tang chuckled, "I thought if I couldn't meet you, I will find someone to send it to the house. Since you are here, take it back!"

"Okay!" Xue Ruitian glanced behind him, and a shadow appeared silently. He reached out and took the small jar, and then disappeared again.

Lao Tang was not surprised, so he packed the last few braised meats. He didn't need to weigh them, he just caught them based on his feeling. He just grabbed more, and definitely not less.

Shen Haolin reached out and picked up a paper bag, weighed it in his hands, and raised his eyebrows slightly at Lao Tang.

"What's wrong?" Lao Tang saw his expression and blinked in confusion, "What's the problem?"

"Are you doing a loss-making business?" Shen Haolin said with a smile, "It's more than half a catty."

"I packed them according to the weight of the piece of silver, and I will not do a loss-making business." After packing all the braised food, Lao Tang found a small basket, put all the paper bags in, and handed it to Xue Ruitian , "Take it, go back and ask someone to bring the basket back to me, and the jar."

"Got it!" Xue Ruitian patted Lao Tang's shoulder gently, "By the way, don't forget what Haolin just said."

"Don't forget it, I can definitely handle it properly." Lao Tang smiled, "I will take the time to go to the mansion tomorrow to explain the situation. Every move will be very detailed."

"The main thing is who I met and what they said."

"understand!"

"Okay, let's go first!"

Xue Ruitian waved his hand towards Lao Tang, carried the basket, and left with Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. As he walked, he looked back and saw Lao Tang watching them leave and waving to him.

Jiang Erye and Qi Bo stood aside and waited for them for a long time. Over there, Hongye, Meilin and Xiao Xiushui had already bought a bunch of snacks. When they saw them coming, they quickly put all the things they were holding on Xue Ruitian's end. The lie.

"What took it so long?" Qi Bo looked at the paper bag in the basket, "When did Xiaotang come back? Have you finished handling the family affairs?"

"That's right. He didn't go into details, and we didn't ask carefully." Shen Cha smiled, "He can handle it on his own, so you don't have to worry."

"Okay, if he can't handle it well and has any trouble, he can come to me directly."

"He plans to go to you tomorrow and wants to see Xiaoma." Xue Ruitian looked at a paper bag that Hongye had just put on the table and smelled it curiously, "What does this smell like?"

"It's a very delicious thing." Hong Ye raised her eyebrows slightly, "You must like it very much." She stretched out her hand to take the basket, "Can you hold it for me?"

"You should still hold Xiao Xiushui, it's more important to look after the child." Xue Ruitian looked at the newly opened tea shop not far away and couldn't help but shook his head, "Let's go, let's go, see That crowd of people gives me a headache.”

Mr. Jiang shook the fan in his hand and walked towards the shop first, "When did you open such a shop? Are you blatantly trying to steal business from me?"

"That's not the case." Shen Cha followed Mr. Jiang, "I opened this new one with the shopkeeper. It uses Miaomiao's recipe. The one you mentioned before is a bit sweet and I don't like it very much."

"It's actually open?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Mr. Jiang sighed, walked to the side and looked at the people waiting in line, and whispered, "Girls really like it more, don't they?" "This is Of course." Shen Cha nodded, "Many girls like it. I said before that this business will definitely be open. If you still don't believe it, is it now open?"

"Let's wait and see for a few more days. What if we queue up for these few days and no one buys it later?"

"It's not impossible." Shen Cha nodded towards Mr. He, the shopkeeper who was standing at the door waving to them, and then said to Mr. Jiang, "So, Miao Miao plans to come up with a few new recipes every once in a while. Let's see. See what everyone likes, keep the ones you like the most, and others can be put online from time to time to create some freshness.”

"That's a good idea, it just depends on what happens next." Second Master Jiang nodded, "By the way, I think this guy and the shopkeeper are both well-informed people. Didn't you ask him if he could open the painting? "

"I've asked, but he doesn't know much." Shen Cha grabbed Mr. Jiang, stretched out his hand to block Shen Haolin and Qi Bo, and let the cart next to him pass first before continuing to move forward, "We just need you and Qi Bo. .”

"Don't talk so full of words, it's better to take a look at things first." Second Master Jiang looked at Uncle Qi who was following him, "Do you have a judgment?"

"I do have an idea, but it's quite outrageous because there are not many people who know this technique."

"What did you say first?"

"I don't know if you have heard of it, but there is a technique in this world called..." Qi Bo looked at everyone and said, "Painting within painting."

"Picture within a picture? Isn't this the same thing as uncovering a painting?"

"Of course not, two completely different skills."

"Don't run, walk slowly!"

Shen Cha looked at Xiao Xiu Shui who was starting to trot in front of him, and quickly asked Hong Ye and Mei Lin to follow him and let him walk properly. Although it was still early, the sky was getting a little dark, so Xiao Xiu Shui kept running forward without any hesitation. Watch the road, if you don't keep it straight you may fall.

"Don't worry about him. Although this little guy's brain is not very good and his expressive ability is a bit poor, his physical strength is still good. At least compared to his peers, he is still very good."

"What is this?" Shen Haolin walked beside Mr. Jiang and heard Qi Bo's words and said, "Losing brainpower and gaining physical strength?"

"That's almost it. It always has to take up one thing, right?" Qi Bo sighed softly, "Maybe it's possible that father and son complement each other?"

"According to what you said, the father is too smart, so the son has to be stupid?" Second Master Jiang shook his head helplessly, "But haven't you heard that the eldest son is not very good in physical strength?"

"That's because no one has said it. Everyone who knows him well knows that the eldest son is the kind of person who is indifferent to grains and industrious. Although he looks lean and lean, he is really weak."

"Don't you feel out of breath after taking only two steps?"

"It's not like this. My body is fine, but my limbs are not very flexible. I often fall flat on my face while walking." Seeing the surprised expressions of several children, Qi Bo raised his eyebrows slightly. "Didn't you expect that?"

"Is it very frequent?"

"It's not particularly high. I'll probably fall once or twice in three or two days." Qi Bo pulled Jiang Erye away, "Don't just listen to me, but also look at the road. Didn't you see there is a pillar in front of you?"

"I was shocked by your words. No wonder the eldest son rides in a carriage most of the time!"

"No!" He didn't know what he was thinking of, but Qi Bo suddenly laughed, "Let me tell you a story. One time, the two of us went for a walk on the street. He said it himself. He hadn't walked for a long time and wanted to take a walk. . Since he brought it up, I will satisfy him. It’s not a difficult task, just go out for a walk. As a result, this trip, that is, the distance from the racecourse to the Duke’s Mansion, is not that far. no?"

"It's not that far indeed." Xue Ruitian nodded, "So? Did you fall once?"

"Probably if you walk 200 meters, you will fall once." Qi Bo chuckled, "It is indeed a joke now, but..."

"You were very upset at that time, weren't you?"

"It's so devastating!" Qi Bo shook his head helplessly, "At the beginning, I held him a little, just because I was afraid that he would fall. Later, he said that I acted like I was supporting an old man who couldn't take care of himself, and he refused to let me Help. When I thought about it, there weren’t many people or cars, so it was quite easy to walk, so I simply agreed. As a result, the two of them were chatting, and what I said was quite lively. When I turned around, Suddenly I found that there was no one around me, and when I turned around, the big brother was already sitting on the ground."

"Just thinking about it now, that scene is really funny." Xue Ruitian couldn't help but shook his head, "If I had such a friend, I would never go out walking with him, because I would be laughed to death. What the hell? I can’t do it either.”

"The two of us just took a stroll that time, and never again. In addition, the few times we met later were all in Xijing City. He also wanted to maintain his dignity and mystery as a genius, so we If we meet, we will either go to where he lives or at my house. Basically we won’t go out to avoid embarrassment.”

Everyone had already reached the door of the Duke's Mansion. The shadow guarding the door saw the big basket in Xue Ruitian's hand and ran over to take it.

"Just send it to the flower hall." Xue Ruitian shouted from behind, watched the shadow turn around, walked to the flower hall, and continued, "I never thought that this business wizard has such an unknown problem. "It seems..." He looked at Xiao Xiushui, who was already being led to the guest house by Hongye and Meilin, "They really complement each other. The father and son really complement each other. One has a good mind and the other has good physical strength." He looked towards Xiao Xiushui raised her chin in the direction, "That's good too. If her father is as wise as a monster, the child may not have any good results, and it may be more difficult than his father."

"Yes." Qi Bo nodded, "That's good. Living peacefully and happily is more important than anything else."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped. Shen Haolin and Jiang Erye who were walking behind him almost bumped into him.

"What's wrong?" Shen Haolin subconsciously covered his nose and said, "What did you think of?"

"Although Yin Musheng is a businessman, he is also a knowledgeable and talented person, especially in this aspect of painting. He is also very good."

"so what?"

“Picture within picture was one of his specialties.”
