Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2214 Much the same 4.0

Jin Miaomiao estimated that they had finished their talk, so she came back with Xiaobao and handed Xiaobao back to Shen Zhonghe.

Shen Zhonghe looked at the sky, said goodbye to Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao, and was originally planning to go back. After all, Xiaobao was still young and still needed a good sleep.

Shen Cha looked at Shen Zhonghe's departing back, and waved to Xiaobao who was waving goodbye to her. She turned around again after they had gone far away.

"You asked him to bring Zhou Erniang to the Marquis' Mansion after lunch tomorrow because you wanted Old Madam Ning to comfort her, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, Shen Haolin reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "This is not a bad idea. After all, the old lady is knowledgeable and has a way. We are helpless, but the old lady may be able to do it easily."

"That's right." Shen Cha turned around and looked in the direction where Shen Zhonghe left. "I never thought that Zhou Erniang would be so decisive. Xiaobao is so cute, how could she have the heart to hurt him?"

"I don't understand either." Jin Miaomiao shook her head gently, "Maybe he feels stupid. Anyway, Xiaobao was implicated innocently." She looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Didn't you two say you wanted to go to the horse farm?"

"I'm leaving now." Shen Cha smiled and pointed at the oil paper bag in Shen Haolin's hand, "Give it to Xiao Xiushui."

Jin Miaomiao watched Shen Haolin and Shen Cha leave hand in hand. She looked at Merlin who was following them and making gestures to her. She couldn't help but click her tongue twice. She heard Jin Jing and Xue Ruitian calling her in front, so she trotted over and joined their happy play.

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Merlin took a shortcut to the horse farm. From the outside they saw that the lights were on inside. The three of them showed expressions of "as expected".

Merlin walked forward and knocked on the door gently. After a while, the door opened. The doorman saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha and quickly saluted.

"The Duke and the General are here. I will go and tell them right away."

"No need, we'll go in by ourselves, you just guard the door."

Shen Cha handed an oil-paper bag to the doorman, smiled at him, and walked inside with Shen Haolin and Merlin.

Before they reached the main house, they heard laughter coming from inside. The three of them stood there and listened for a long time. They felt that the voices inside sounded quite familiar.

"Uncle Yan and my master?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin and pulled him inside. "Brother, Merlin, hurry up and see what these three old men are doing behind our backs!"

Shen Haolin was almost pulled by her and staggered. He shook his head helplessly and could only follow her pace.

Merlin followed behind, also expressing helplessness. He didn't know what was interesting to hear in the old men's conversation. It was nothing more than them drinking too much wine and tea and reminiscing about their shared youth. He didn't know what was interesting to hear in such a conversation.

Although he silently complained in his heart, Merlin still caught up with Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and knocked on the door of the main house before them.

"Who is it? Didn't you say that if there's nothing going on, don't bother me?"

Hearing Qi Bo's somewhat aggressive tone, Shen Cha looked disgusted and whispered to Shen Haolin, "I'll complain to Miao Miao later."

"Complain?" Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows. "The three of them drank secretly and got drunk. We caught them red-handed?"

"That's right." Shen Cha snapped her fingers, "I'm going to complain to my second grandfather that the three of them drank without him." Seeing Shen Haolin's helpless expression, she snorted, "Who told them to be disobedient?" "That's right, I told them not to drink too much, but they just wouldn't listen."

Shen Haolin heard voices still asking questions from inside, but no one came to open the door, so he gestured to Merlin. Merlin nodded, exerted a little force with his hands, and pushed the door open.

The moment they pushed open the door, the three of them smelled a strong odor of alcohol, which almost made them fall over.

"How much did you drink?" Although she was teasing just now, Shen Cha was really angry now. She didn't go in, but just stood at the door, frowning as she watched the three old men in the room frantically hiding the wine bottles. She crossed her arms and sneered loudly, "Don't hide, what's the point? This room looks like it's soaked in wine. You guys didn't just drink a little bit, you must have drunk at least seven or eight bottles, right?"

"There should be more than that." Shen Haolin said coldly, "The moment I opened the door, I saw at least eleven or twelve bottles."

If Yan Bo, Qin Zheng and Qi Bo were still a little tipsy just now, they were completely sober now. They looked at the three children standing at the door and felt a little embarrassed.

"Why are you here?" Qi Bo quickly pushed open all the windows in the house, "Didn't you say you had something to do tonight?"

"So, you took advantage of the fact that we were not in the mansion because of something and ran out to drink?" Shen Cha watched Yan Bo and Qin Zheng approach him, "Master, Yan Bo and Qi Bo refused to listen, why are you fooling around with them?"

"Isn't this finally a chance to relax? After all, you're not here, so let's indulge ourselves a little, otherwise we won't be controlled by you guys after we have a few sips."

"Is this still our fault?"

"Of course not. I know you're doing this for our own good, but we also hope to be able to do as we please sometimes, right?" Qin Zheng looked at his angry little apprentice, chuckled, and said, "We don't drink often, just once in a while. Don't worry, we won't drink for at least the next six months."

"You must keep your word!" Shen Cha snorted twice, "You guys should not stand at the door and get blown by the wind. Otherwise, wrap yourself up tightly and go to another room to get rid of the alcohol smell here."

"Let's go. There's a small hall next to it. Let's go sit over there." Qi Bo took the cloaks for Yan Bo and Qin Zheng. "Speaking of which, the night market outside is quite lively. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"I just felt bored after walking around and was a little tired, so I came here to rest." Shen Cha looked at Qin Zheng, "Master, Master Huilan's senior brother has arrived and is now at the inn."

"Yes, when we came out, we met people from Liao who came to the Duke's Mansion and said that Xiao Fengqi had run away and asked us to look for him." Qin Zheng looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and then at Meilin, "Found him?"

"Found him. He packed up and came to the night market. He said he said hello to Master Qi before leaving, but Master Qi was probably very busy and might not have heard him, so he made such a fuss. However, he was first discovered by Brother Xiaotian, who took him to the teahouse. Then Fourth Brother came to talk about it." Shen Cha supported Qin Zheng and walked slowly, "Master, please watch the road. There is a small pit here."

"I know. I'm watching!" Qin Zheng thought for a moment, "Did Xiao Fengqi go to the teahouse?"

Yan Bo, who was supported by Shen Haolin, heard this and turned to look at Shen Cha, "Did you meet the Second Master?"

"No!" Shen Cha shook her head gently. "The teahouse was very busy tonight. We didn't even get to say a few words to Second Grandpa. But when we came out, Second Grandpa asked a question and then went back to work."

"Boss, Duke, you don't know that the Second Master went upstairs once during the trip, but he didn't enter the private room."
