Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 41 The Beginning of the Transformation

"Brother." After washing up, before bringing back breakfast, Shen Cha took advantage of the fact that there were only the two of them in the room, and sent all the items that had been sorted out these days to Shen Haolin. "I don't know if it's because it's the Chinese New Year, and many people don't have the time to work. The newspapers and official documents are messy and thoughtless, and I don't know where the eyes of the reviewers are. How can this kind of thing still work?" Issued to."

"Isn't it like this every year? Your Majesty is kind. As long as you don't delay major events, you won't bother with them, so as not to spoil everyone's joy for the New Year. Those people only grasped His Majesty's thoughts, so they will be so presumptuous!" Shen Haolin said in a low voice. Looking at Shen Cha's note, "If they see Cha'er's beautiful small characters, their eyes will be scared away. Every time I read something written by those people, I always have a question, how did they become officials?" Yes, that handwriting is worse than that of a three-year-old child, it is simply unsightly."

"Since it's unsightly, brother doesn't need to waste his eyes, just looking at these is enough." Shen Cha dug out a clay pot from under the table, dug out a piece of soft stuff and put it in the teacup , "Your Majesty is indeed kind, and he often pretends to be stupid, but there will be a day when he can't bear it anymore. When they push His Majesty into a hurry, it's time for them to cry."

"What I'm saying is, it's not our turn to intervene in this kind of thing, just wait and see what happens. By the way, there shouldn't be anything special these two days, right?"

"The most special thing... is that my brother is sick. He has been sick for a long time. Some people in the army are fluctuating, but fortunately, they can still hold on. Apart from that, there is nothing else important." Shen Cha took it A glass of honey water was handed to Shen Haolin, "No, there is really one thing that needs to be known to my brother. The Duan family has already withdrawn three days ago."

"This is within my expectation, and it's time to retreat. Anyway, people are going to celebrate the New Year." Shen Haolin drank up the honey water and returned the teacup to Shen Cha, "I think King Duan has already taken care of him. For those sons who are not peaceful, the road for Duan Airong to become king has been paved."

"As elder brother said, judging from the current situation, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, King Duan should announce his abdication."

"It won't be so fast." Shen Haolin shook his head, "Duan Airong's prestige in the country is far inferior to those of King Duan's princes, whether it is political achievements or military achievements. It will take a while for King Duan to pass the throne to him, at least ...At least wait until he has done a few major things and won the hearts of the people before the throne can be handed over to him, otherwise, the country will become less stable."

"Probably there is no need for this." Shen Cha sat beside Shen Haolin, looked at him seriously, and said, "According to the reports from the people His Majesty sent to investigate, King Duan has already solved all the obstacles for Duan Airong to become king."

"Solution?" Shen Haolin frowned, "What do you mean by killing them all?"

"That's the news we've received. It's not clear what exactly happened." Shen Cha sneered, "All the people of the Duan family believe in Buddhism, and King Duan even puts on the appearance of an eminent monk all day long, but But he attacked his own son so cruelly, leaving no room for it, and he didn't know which school of Buddhism he practiced, whether he could really become a Buddha after a hundred years, or whether he would have to be eighteen years old. layers of hell."

"The so-called study of Buddhism is just a deceitful cover. It is used to confuse the people of the Duan family. It cannot be taken as real. The Duan family does not have the peace as imagined. If he is really a Buddha, the throne will have changed hands long ago. Where is it?" It's Duan Airong's turn!" Shen Haolin shook his head, and continued flipping through the notes that Shen Cha had transcribed, "Wait a minute, the Duan family has withdrawn, then..." Shen Haolin turned to look at Shen Cha with a look of horror, "Your master... ..."

"Master has already sent someone to deliver a letter. After he has dealt with the military affairs of Yongning Pass and made arrangements for the New Year, he will leave for Jiaping Pass." Seeing Shen Haolin like this, Shen Cha covered his mouth and snickered. "Brother... Take advantage of this time, you have to cultivate yourself."

"Cha'er, can you stop doing this?" Shen Haolin stretched his arms around Shen Cha's shoulders, rubbed his head on it twice, and said, "My illness is not completely cured yet, and my body is still very weak, but I can't help it." An old punch from your master. Cha'er, if he bullies me, you have to plead for me!"

"Brother...are you begging me?" Seeing Shen Haolin like this, Shen Cha started to joke, "Well, sincerity is not enough!"

"Really?" Shen Haolin unexpectedly kissed Shen Cha's cheek, "Is this enough sincerity?"

"Brother, as long as you promise me one request, I will agree to intercede with Master and ask him to let you go."

"What request?" Shen Haolin straightened up, and hugged Shen Cha in his arms, "No matter what the request is, Brother will agree."

"I just want to ask my brother to promise that this kind of thing can't happen again. That day when I kicked in the door and saw my brother passed out on the bed, I...for a moment, I even thought, if my brother really I'm gone, and I don't need to continue to live." Shen Cha raised his head slightly, and looked at Shen Haolin seriously, "Brother, this is not a joke, I am serious."

"I know." Shen Haolin hugged Shen Cha tightly, but he didn't tell her that he would not take this sentence as a joke, because he thought so too.If Shen Cha passed away, he would not continue to live.He will take care of everything in the world and rush to Naihe Bridge to meet his tea. "I promise you, it won't happen again in the future."

"Brother, please remember today's promise." Seeing Mei Zhu and Mei Lin coming over with breakfast, Shen Cha waved at them, and seeing the unconcealable smiles on their faces, asked curiously, "What do you see?" It looks very happy, did something good happen?"

"The Marshal woke up, it should be considered the greatest good thing, right? Master Hou sent someone to spread the news, and the city and the army are all celebrating!" Mei Zhu put a bowl of porridge in front of Shen Haolin with a smile "Moreover, once the marshal wakes up, the general won't have to eat during the day or sleep at night!"

"Oh? Can't eat during the day, can't sleep at night?" Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows towards Shen Cha, "How do I remember someone told me that she is very good these days, eating and going to bed on time?" He stretched out his hand and squeezed A look on Shen Cha's face, "Did you learn the ability to open your eyes and tell lies from Xiao Tian?"

"That's not true, don't listen to their nonsense, but I eat and go to bed on time." Shen Cha touched her face, and glared at Mei Zhu and Mei Lin who demolished her, "You two are talking nonsense. You learned this skill from Lord Hou, right?"

"Marshal Mingjian." Mei Lin and Mei Zhu have been with Shen Cha the longest, and it can be said that they grew up with her. Although they are called masters and servants, they are like sisters.As long as they don't make the mistake of touching the bottom line, no matter what they say or do, they won't be punished by Shen Cha. Therefore, they are more courageous than other people, and say what they have.While setting the table, Mei Lin "complained" to Shen Haolin, she said, "It is true that the general eats and goes to bed on time, but the amount of food for each meal is not even half of the usual amount, and the time for going to bed is pitifully short. We take turns Persuasion is useless, once the general becomes stubborn, it will be very scary."

"That's why you've lost so much weight and your complexion isn't too good!" Shen Haolin touched Shen Cha who was about to explode, took a steamed bun and handed it to her mouth, "Ah, open your mouth."

Shen Cha ate the steamed buns that were brought to his mouth, rolled his eyes at Mei Lin and Mei Zhu while eating, and asked after finishing what was in his mouth, "Marshal woke up, that's one of the reasons for your happiness, there should be more Do other things make you happy? On the way back from the dining room, did you meet someone? Or saw something interesting?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the general's eyes. When we came back, we passed by the flower hall and saw a good show."

Meilin put in front of Shen Cha a bowl of wonton stew in chicken sauce that the dining room specially left for Shen Cha, and a plate of fragrant glutinous rice cakes with shredded coconut.

"Flower Hall?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Master Hou is fighting with Miao Miao again?"

"This time it's not Lord Hou, it's the military advisor." Mei Zhu said cheerfully, "I don't know what sister Miao Miao did to the military advisor. Early in the morning, the military advisor ran over angrily to settle accounts with Miao Miaojie. Sister Miao Miao was running around in the front yard. Master Hou didn't try to dissuade her, but just sat in the flower hall drinking tea and watching a play, as if she was very happy to see Sister Miao Miao in such a mess."

"Brother Xiaotian is afraid of chaos in the world, and he and Miao Miao have a mutually damaging relationship on weekdays. Naturally, he will be very happy to see such a scene. However, the military division has always loved his sister very much. How could he run away so early in the morning? Go to our mansion to settle accounts with Miao Miao? He is not such an unsteady person!"

"Let them make trouble. Anyway, it's in your own home, in front of your own people, and you won't let outsiders watch the excitement."

"Brother said yes!"

Shen Cha ate a wonton in chicken sauce and thought it tasted good. Her brother should be able to eat it too, so she scooped one up for Shen Haolin as well.It was originally intended to be put on the plate in front of Shen Haolin, but Shen Haolin opened his mouth and looked at her eagerly. Shen Cha had no choice but to feed the ravioli into Shen Haolin's mouth.

Mei Lin and Mei Zhu looked at each other and quietly left the room.

"Marshal and general..." Mei Zhu pulled Mei Lin away for a while, and whispered, "It seems to be different from before, isn't it?"

"I think so too." Merlin nodded. "There have been some changes, but I can't tell you exactly what happened."

"The boss is dull, and the people around him are equally dull." Ying Shiqi and Ying Shiba fell from the roof to the ground, stood next to Mei Zhu and Mei Lin, and patted their shoulders, "You two wait Just wait and see, this is just the beginning, there are still many things that will surprise you in the future!"

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm..." Mei Zhu and Mei Lin blinked their eyes, "Maybe, the boss will become the real mistress of this mansion."

　Happy New Year, I wish you all good health and good luck in the new year!
