Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 233 Getting Ready

"Heaven, earth, it's all done at last. If I can't finish it, I'm going to go crazy!" Xue Ruitian jumped down from the beam, lying on the carpet all of a sudden, with a weak look, said , "Xiaocha, didn't you say that you are a big brother, what kind of palace lantern are you making properly? Is this palace lantern beautiful? How can it be as beautiful as those big porcelain vases of mine!"

"I think it's pretty!" Shen Cha looked up at the palace lantern hanging on the beam, "It's very atmospheric, isn't it?"

"It's not." Xue Ruitian curled his lips, "Anyone who has nothing to do can look up. I guess, your master and Yan Bo may not be able to notice this. You said there are dozens of palace lanterns, let's go up Up and down, crawling up and down, hanging up for an hour. The family banquet in the evening was the worst, and it only took more than an hour, no more than two hours, right? When the family banquet is over, it has to be dismantled again come down."

"Who said that?" Shen Cha shook his head, "These won't be picked off until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so I won't bother Brother Xiaotian then, don't worry!"

"It's okay to hang until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, or my sweat will be for nothing." Xue Ruitian yawned, "Let me tell you, it's more tiring than fighting a battle. In the future, there will be such Please don’t call me, I’d rather go to war than do these things!” He said while thumping his waist, “Oh, my waist hurts, Hongye, rub my waist for Lord Benhou! "

"Tell me about you. If you do such a little work, you have to cry. Don't you feel ashamed to let so many brothers watch and listen to you? If you want to follow me, you have to do this kind of work." Hard work, do it a few more times, and cure your laziness!" Shen Haolin smiled lightly, "Tell me, who can be like you, before winter and after winter, they are just like two people. It’s so fat, I can’t even look at it!”

"Master Guo is right. Lord Hou is lazy. There is no one as lazy as Lord Hou in Jiapingguan City." Hong Ye walked over with a look of disgust, sat beside Xue Ruitian, and hugged him from the waist down. She took out a small oblate jar from the small purse hanging in the room, opened the lid, and a fresh smell came over her face. She took a little ointment, and applied it on Xue Ruitian's forehead, middle, and ears very tenderly. sides.After the application was finished, the medicine box was put away, and Hongye began to rub Xue Ruitian's waist, and said while rubbing, "Look at the fat on this waist, grab a lot of it, and you still have the nerve to call yourself tired? Tell me, you What do you do all day long except eat and lie down? If you don’t gain weight, who will gain weight!”

"Don't talk nonsense, where did I gain weight? It's just a little bit of flesh, and it will disappear by itself after the new year!" Xue Ruitian closed his eyes, raised his leg and pretended to kick the red leaf, "A little bit to the left, yes , that's right there!"

"Brother Xiaotian, you should work hard, or you won't be able to wear last year's clothes! Also, Master told me several times that he felt that we, and those generals, Kungfu doesn't improve much. The so-called retreat if you don't advance, he will take advantage of the time of the big martial arts competition, and he will take care of us. Think about it, if you were defeated by ordinary soldiers during the big martial arts competition, what would you do? You won't be very embarrassed?" Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder and rubbed his shoulder, "I think, for the sake of the wisdom of the Hou Mansion and your reputation, it's better not to have this kind of thing happen, right? Take a ten thousand step back and say that nothing like this happened. If we return to Beijing by order, do you think they will be particularly surprised when you go to see His Majesty and the Empress Dowager in this state?"

"Xiaocha, it's not kind of you to say that." Xue Ruitian raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Cha, "Winter is supposed to be the season for fattening, and I didn't grow much, just a little bit." .When I practice hard for a few days, it will be back to the way it was before.”

"Did you hear that? This is sophistry!" Hongye pressed hard, causing Xue Ruitian to yell, "Look at our two mansions, the entire Shen family army, who like you grows old in winter? Meat?"

"Those like you who eat a lot and lose meat after winter, are basically monsters. As for my brother, I am a very normal ordinary person, and I can't compare with you at all." Xue Ruitian slapped He yawned, "Okay, move to the right again, um, it's here."

"There are so many weird reasons, we can't say no to you!" Hongye rolled her eyes, "I don't know what's going on with Miaomiao, there are so many dumplings, it will take a whole day to make!"

"Who said you have to pack for a day?" Jin Miaomiao led the three children, Mei Lin, Mei Zhu and the generals, and walked in, each holding a food box in his hand, "Everyone is very good, a thousand dumplings It's finished." She saw Xue Ruitian lying on the ground, Hongye pressed his waist, and raised her eyebrows, "Master Hou, what's wrong? Did you fall while working?"

"It's nothing, it's just a backache." Xue Ruitian waved his hands, looking at the food box in Jin Miaomiao's hand, "What's in there?"

"Lunch!" Jin Miaomiao took out all the bowls inside, "I didn't make too much, and I didn't make it too rich. I thought that everyone wouldn't have any appetite until evening, so I just made it casually." A little noodles, if you are not full, let's cook some more dumplings!"

"Dumplings? What dumplings? I want to eat too!" Shen Jiu and Wei Zixin, who had slept all morning, walked in in a daze, "What kind of food is this, it smells really good!"

"Are you awake?" Shen Cha waved to Shen Jiu and Wei Zixin, letting him sit next to Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu, "He does seem to be in good spirits, let's eat, there is still work to do after eating! "

"What are you going to do again?" Xue Ruitian, who was struggling to get up from the carpet, heard Shen Cha's words, and fell back on his stomach with a plop, "Can you let someone take a rest for a while? You don't have to be so ruthless when ordering people around, right?"

"Xiao Tian, ​​don't be nervous. After eating, you should rest well. You will be the host of the family dinner tonight!" Shen Haolin looked at Xue Ruitian and then at Jin Jing, "And Xiao Jing, the two of you The one who will accompany Uncle Yan to pick up Uncle Yan, go back to rest after eating, and you two will be busy when the two of them come back!"

"Shall we accompany uncle?" Xue Ruitian got up from the ground after going through untold hardships, looked at the bowl in front of him, and suddenly lost his appetite, "Aren't we a little short, Hongye, Jin Miaomiao, Jiujiu, come with us !" Xue Ruitian looked at Qiao Zi, Lu Shengyuan and Tian Yun, "Whoever you follow, you can decide for yourself!"

"We don't follow anyone, we are guests, understand?" Qiao Zi waved his hand, "We also have to go back to rest, refresh our spirits, and prepare. And..." He showed a malicious smile, "Tonight In addition to the family banquet, there is another very important event, isn't it? We always have to go back to let them know that we have dinner at the Duke's Mansion and we can't go back until very late." He put down the bowl in his hand, " In this way, will they feel that they have the opportunity to do something?"

"Old Qiao, you are still smart, you are not stupid at all!" Xue Ruitian nodded in agreement, "In the future, anyone who wants to say that you are stupid, I will be anxious!"

"Come on, my lord, isn't it you who calls me stupid every time?"

Lunch ended amidst the laughter of the crowd, everyone took a rest in the Nuan Pavilion, and then tidied up the place again, those who should refresh their spirits went back to refresh their spirits, and the rest were taken away by the restless Shen Cha , to arrange a small yard for the two elderly people to take a short rest.

Although these two small yards have been empty, they are cleaned every day, so what Shen Cha and the others have to do is to put some things that Qin Zheng and Yan Bo need to groom and groom here, and take two big red robes. Bring it over.

"Grandpa, Boss!" The person in charge followed Qin Zheng and Yan Bo's shadows back to report, "The target person has come out of Yunxianju, please get ready!"

"We are ready here, but it would be better if they come back half an hour later!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa, we will do it!" Shadow nodded and left quickly.

Shen Haolin calculated the time, "If they can delay for half an hour, then we still have a little more time. In this way, we are disbanded now, and we each go back to freshen up, change clothes, and then go to our respective places to gather." He looked at Jin Miaomiao , "Clean up the three children and ask your brother and Zixin to wait at the gate of the house with them."

"okay, I get it!"

　It's 40 degrees today, and after running outside for a day, I actually suffered from heat stroke, so I can only add another chapter!
