Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 408 Acacia

On the other side of the palace, Yeluertu and Yelulan and his son were discussing how to deal with possible accidents at the palace banquet. On the side of the inn, Shen Cha told Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng what he knew about the Duan family.

"I didn't expect it to be like this. It's really... the world is so big and full of wonders!" Qi Zhifeng looked shocked, "I only heard before that Duan's folk customs are different from ours, and I have heard that Duan Some not-so-good rumors about you. I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true." He blinked, "That... Sister Xiaocha, did what you said really happen? Or... "

"You should know a little bit about it. My master has been stationed in Yongningguan City for more than ten years, and I still know Duan's family well. He will also mention some things about Duan's family in his correspondence on weekdays... Well, interesting news, what I told you The matter is indeed well-documented, and it is much more reliable than the so-called rumors, hearsay, and rumors you mentioned."

"That's true!" Qi Zhifeng pouted and nodded, "Marshal Qin Zheng's name is also very famous to me. It's a pity that I couldn't meet him when I went to Jiaping Pass several times before."

"I'll see you later when I have a chance." Seeing that Yelunan had finished his meal, Shen Cha waved to the waiter who was standing not far away to take away the small table in front of him and bring over a clean one. He also gave him a small pot of Xiaoshi tea. "About this matter, brother Afeng, you don't have to worry too much. King Liao is not a man with no plans, and he will not agree to Duan's rude request."

"That's right, even if King Liao intends to make peace with the Duan family, the patriarchs and elders of the Yelu clan will not agree." Jin Jing also echoed, "I don't know much about your customs, at least in our Great Xia No high family would marry such a woman with bad conduct. To put it bluntly, even being a concubine would feel ashamed. This kind of woman, that is, their Duan family is willing to hold, put it in any A country will feel ashamed!"

"Misconduct is a very important point, and another point, I heard that they are very good at witchcraft and poison." Yelunan narrowed his eyes, "I knew a Huihe businessman before, and he went to Duan's to discuss business, but it didn't work out. .According to our normal practice, we just talk about it if we don’t get it right, but the businessman of the Duan family..." He snorted coldly, "They actually bribed the innkeeper and put things in the meals of the Huihe merchants, forcing the Huihe merchants to agree. Their request. Otherwise, Huihe merchants will be tortured to death."

"There is indeed such a thing." Shen Cha nodded, "It is the most sensible way not to contact them or touch the things they have touched."

"This is simply too much! Duan's behavior is like this, is he here to seek peace, or is he coming to disgust us?" Qi Zhifeng slapped the table hard, using too much force, and almost smashed the teapot flipped. "The Duan family is indeed insidious and cunning. It is really wise for Uncle Wang not to see them."

"It's really disgusting. Besides, we are in the national funeral. From ordinary people to the royal family, marriage is forbidden. Even if they didn't know it before, after arriving at Linhuang Mansion, they saw that we were busy for the funeral of the king, and mentioned it many times. ..." Yelunan put down his teacup and sneered, "You can see the sinister intentions." He patted Qi Zhifeng on the back, who was still angry, "Okay, don't be angry, it's not worth it for them .”

"Mr. Nan is right. It's not worth getting angry over such a person or something." Jin Jing raised her teacup and smiled at Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng, "Come on, cheers! For... Something we're happy about!"

"Master Nan, brother Afeng, it's getting late, you are tired today, go to rest early, I'm afraid there are still many things to do tomorrow!" Shen Cha put down the teacup, picked up her hand stove, stood Get up, "Brother Ah Feng's room is ready, the buddy will take you there, and Mr. Nan..."

"You don't need to go to such trouble to prepare an extra room. Ah Feng and I will just use one."

The four stood up and went upstairs together, saying goodbye to each other at the stairs, Shen Cha and Jin Jing walked to the right, while Yelunan pulled Qi Zhifeng to the left.

Seeing Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng enter the room, Jin Jing said in a low voice, "Is this a reconciliation?"

"If you are willing to let Mr. Nan into his room, you will naturally reconcile. But..." Shen Cha's expression was a little helpless, "Our little brother Ah Feng is still young and has little experience. Before anything happened, he got himself into a mess."

"It's understandable, but it's messy if you care about it!" Jin Jing gave Shen Cha a smirk, "If it were you, there probably wouldn't be such a cold war, and you should have waved a whip to kill those who covet you. The guy in the house smoked all over his face, didn't he?"

"Brother Xiaojing really understands me very well." Shen Cha raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "In my opinion, when such a thing happened, it is natural that there is a grievance and a debtor, and the Duan family is the source of the disaster. Maybe not to trouble them?"

"...Hey, forget it, I won't tell you these things, and you'll pretend to be a fool with me." Jin Jing waved her hand, "I've been driving for a few days, and I'm very tired. Now that I'm at the place, I But I have to take a comfortable bath. When I feel comfortable, I will come to drink with you." Seeing that Shen Cha wanted to say something, he quickly said, "I know you don't want to drink, so just drink tea. "

"……it is good!"

"Then we've made a deal, see you in an hour!"

Shen Cha just smiled, nodded slightly towards Jin Jing, and brought Mei Lin and Mei Zhu into the room.

Awakened by Jin Jing's words just now, Shen Cha suddenly wanted to take a comfortable bath to thoroughly wash away the fatigue from the journey.

Mei Lin and Mei Zhu had already expected this, and ordered the hot water under the stove to be prepared early, and brought in bucket after bucket.

"Don't soak for too long, or you'll get dizzy." Mei Lin made up the bed for Shen Cha, followed her instructions, and tidied up the soft couch by the window, prepared a small table to put on the couch, and Some refreshments and dried fruit. "General, the palace banquet is at night, do you want to go out for a stroll during the day?"

"If there are no people blocking the door, we can naturally go out for a stroll. It's rare for us to come to Linhuang Mansion, so we have to see the customs and customs here, and bring some interesting things back."

"The general said the door blocker..." Mei Zhu took Shen Cha's home robe, "meaning Duan's envoys? They made such a big deal in Daxia, how could they have the face to come to our door?" ?”

"Looking at their behavior, they don't care about their face." Merlin snorted coldly and rolled his eyes, "Besides, although they have sent someone to Beijing to explain to His Majesty what they did, after all, it happened in Jiaping. Guan Cheng, they must meet with the general, explain the ins and outs, and express King Duan's apology."

"That's right." Shen Cha chuckled, walked out of the bathtub, picked up the big handkerchief on the screen and wiped off the water droplets on his body, "If they don't do this, they will feel uneasy. It's hard to keep our mood When it’s not good, I’ll bring up old things again, and use this incident as a reason to deal with them properly.”

"Even if we apologize, isn't it easy for us to deal with them?" Seeing Shen Cha turn out from behind the screen, Mei Zhu hurriedly wrapped her robe around her and wiped her hair, "They are not very strong. , there are quite a lot of eyes.”

"Without strength and lack of mind, it is very difficult for such a small country to survive in the gap between the three big countries of Xia, Liao, and Jin. There is no other way. But..." Shen Cha sighed and tidied himself up The robe, "It is indeed not common for someone as capable of killing as Duan."

Mei Lin and Mei Zhu glanced at each other, then lowered their heads and smiled secretly, the Duan family is the only one in this world who can get such an evaluation from their general.

"You two take a bath after you pack up, and go to bed when you feel comfortable!" Shen Cha dressed and wrapped a thick blanket around her body, "Today is Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba's night, you guys do not worry."

"Yes, General!"

Mei Lin and Mei Zhu packed up, wiped off the water stains on the floor, put the screen back in place, and left Shen Cha's room with a few large wooden barrels.

Shen Cha watched the door of the room being closed, sat down on the soft couch, and opened the window at hand slightly to get some air into the room.

Looking at the heavy snow outside, and remembering the previous interaction between Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng, Shen Cha suddenly regretted leaving Jiaping Pass City and came to the distant Linhuang Mansion.

On such a cold snowy night, she missed Shen Jiajun, Zhen Guogong's mansion, and her brother very much.

Although she had left her brother before, but it was not as far away as this time, and for such a long time. If it wasn't for some things that she had to visit in person to reach a conclusion, she really didn't want to come to this place very much. The weather is cold, The food is not tasty, and the people here have too many eyes, and they are calculating all day long, which makes them tired physically and mentally.She felt that when she returned from here, she would definitely lose several laps of weight.

Thinking of this, Shen Cha felt a little stuffy in his heart, stretched out his hand and opened the window a little wider, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed softly.

I don't know if Jiaping Guancheng can also see such a big and bright moon, and I don't know what my brother is doing at this moment, if I have time to sit leisurely on the couch by the window like her Enjoy the snow, the moon and drink tea.

However, she felt that this possibility was not very high. It was not that her elder brother did not have such a taste, but that it was very possible. At this time, her elder brother was still struggling with a pile of official documents and could not extricate himself from it.After all, she and brother Xiaojing, the two main players in handling official affairs, have left, leaving only brother and brother Xiaotian, and the only one who can really work hard is her brother.

Thinking of his elder brother's dark face from morning to night, studying hard, Shen Cha laughed unkindly.

　The weather forecast is a lie!
