Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 653 Memories

"How is it? Your master's room is well furnished?"

Wu Qingruo led Shen Haolin and Shen Cha into his room. He knew that Shen Cha was afraid of the cold, so he ordered the servants to prepare two more charcoal basins in advance, and told the dining room that hot soup and tea were prepared. Not long after they came back, The master of the dining room brought the soup and tea over.

Wu Qingruo's room is similar to the general general's room, the only difference is that there are a few more calligraphy and paintings, two more pots of orchids, and a few pots of flowers and plants that can't be named, which makes the whole room look more like a literati. .

However, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha could see that those calligraphy and paintings actually told a complete story, about what happened in the life of Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo, and these calligraphy and paintings were all written by Prince Dai. There are a few unreliable annotations that should have been written by Wu Qingruo, which is quite interesting.

"You two, come and sit!" Wu Qingruo waved to the two children, let them sit in front of her, and moved a charcoal basin to Shen Cha's side. "It's too cold today, don't freeze."

"Thank you, uncle."

Wu Qingruo looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, and sighed softly.

"Master, what's bothering you?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha exchanged glances, "Can you tell me so that my apprentice can share your worries?"

"No, I just thought of the past." Wu Qingruo shook her head lightly, looking at Shen Cha, "Back then, your master was temporarily transferred to the southwest border, and he happened to be assigned to a team with me, where we ate, lived, and kept watch. The two can chat very well, and I won't look at me high because I'm the adopted son of the guard, nor will I avoid me because of my unknown background."

"That's why Master and you become brothers with different surnames. The friendship between you two is better than that of some real brothers!"

"Your Uncle Wang is my confidant, and your master is my best brother. With the two of them, I am already very satisfied."

"Where's Your Highness King Ning?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "He has deep feelings for you, if he agrees with you, I'm afraid he will be sad."

"Chenchen... just like you, we grew up as our sons." Wu Qingruo smiled, pointed to a small unattractive incense burner on the shelf next to it, "Xiaocha, do you remember this?"

"This...of course I remember." Shen Cha rubbed his chin embarrassedly, "It's your return gift when I first met you when you passed by Jiaping Pass City to visit Master. This is the first time I made a finished product , It’s so ugly, how did you put it out? If you like it, I’ll make another one for you. My craftsmanship is much better now than it was then.”

"Not ugly at all." Wu Qingruo raised an eyebrow at Shen Haolin, "What do you think, Haolin?"

"It's not ugly, at least it can be seen that it is an incense burner."

"Brother!" Shen Cha was even more embarrassed, "It was originally an incense burner!"

Shen Haolin didn't speak, just smiled, his eyes continued to stay on the shelf, he saw a gem-encrusted dagger next to the small incense burner, this was the first time he went to the battlefield, and he found it from a general of the Kingdom of Jin , I thought it looked good, so I gave it to his master directly.

Wu Qingruo looked at the two children in front of her, and her memory was brought back to the time Shen Cha said she passed through Jiaping Pass many years ago.

That time was not considered passing by, but he was ordered to meet Shen Guogong to discuss border drills, and he happened to be able to meet his elder brother Qin Zheng.

As a result, after the two met, Qin Zheng happily dragged him to the school to meet his apprentice before they even said a few words. child.

Wu Qingruo didn't care much at the time. His apprentice Shen Haolin was the legitimate successor of Lord Shen Guo. No matter how talented he was, he couldn't catch up with his apprentice, so he took Qin Zheng's words with reservations.

But when they entered Shen Jiajun's school grounds, Wu Qingruo saw a thin and weak figure standing in the middle of the school grounds, with a whip dancing like a tiger, and the dozen or so soldiers around couldn't get close.

"This is... your apprentice?" Wu Qingruo looked at the smug Qin Zheng, "It's very rare to have practiced to this level at such a young age."

"Right? Am I right? Definitely a genius!"

"It's not easy to come across something like this, how did you find it?"

"How did you find it?" Hearing Wu Qingruo's words, Qin Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't let Lao Shen hear your words, I have to fight with you, this is his apple."

"Oh!" Wu Qingruo suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the eldest lady in the legend, but she is really a good seedling."

Qin Zheng laughed even more arrogantly than before. If it wasn't for the sake of affection, Wu Qingruo wanted to punch him very much. It was so frightening, as if someone else's family had no apprentices.

However, when Shen Cha followed Qin Zheng's instructions and walked up to the two of them, Wu Qingruo was really taken aback by her. He saw the imprint representing the Xuanyuan family's children.

Wu Qingruo's original plan was to go back to the southwest after chatting with Shen Guogong about the border drill, but when he saw Shen Cha, he deliberately stayed in Jiaping Pass City for one night, listening to Qin Zheng tell him about Shen Cha's miserable childhood, and about this It's not easy for children.

After Qin Zheng had finished speaking, Wu Qingruo became more certain that this was the child chosen by the Xuanyuan family. The so-called bad luck was all fake and arranged.It's just that they underestimated the child's own ability to bear it, and they didn't expect that the younger brother of the Xuanyuan family would miss, and almost killed the poor child.

After Qin Zheng fell asleep, Wu Qingruo went to the main courtyard to meet His Royal Highness Shen Guogong and the Eldest Princess who had been waiting for a long time. The three made a careful arrangement for Shen Cha's current situation, and then in front of Shen Guogong and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Son, wrote the situation of Shen Cha into the letter, sent someone to gallop into Xijing, and sent the letter to Daiwang Mansion and Xuanyuan Mansion.They repeatedly told the sender to deliver the letter only after seeing Prince Dai and Xuanyuan Liang in person.

Every year that followed, Wu Qingruo would find opportunities to pass by Jiaping Guancheng, under the guise of visiting old friends and caring for her apprentices, to meet Shen Cha, see her condition, and then communicate with Xijing.This situation continued until Shen Haolin and Shen Cha officially took over Jiaping Guancheng and Shen Jiajun, disarmed and returned to Xijing.It's just that they haven't really broken contact with each other. Every time Shen Haolin and Shen Cha lead the Shen family army back to Beijing to report on their duties, they always have a small gathering.

Seeing that the two children are getting better and better, and getting more and more in tune, Wu Qingruo has let go of the heart that he has been carrying. Not only him, but everyone who participated in that plan is relieved. Now they are waiting for a complete solution. Get rid of the so-called mysterious organization, everyone belongs to everyone, and these two children can fulfill the marriage arranged by the elders for them and become a real family.

"Master? Master?" Seeing that Wu Qingruo's eyes were red, Shen Haolin was a little anxious, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Wu Qingruo shook her head lightly, and smiled at the two worried children, "People, when you get older, you like to recall the past, and you will be easily moved. Don't worry, it will be fine in a while .”
