Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 36

Xue Ruitian and Hongye stayed at the Duke of Zhen's mansion until after dinner before getting up to leave, and Shen Cha sent them to the gate of the courtyard.

They have been like this for the past few days. They come to accompany Shen Cha to have breakfast in the morning. In Huqiu Courtyard until dinner.

These days when Shen Haolin was ill, Xue Ruitian became particularly industrious. In previous winters, he could stay in the house without coming out, but these two days, although it was colder than in previous years, the number of times he went to the barracks was obvious. increased.He was just afraid of Shen Haolin's illness. Shen Cha took all the responsibilities and turned around and exhausted himself.Therefore, he took over all the things that he didn't care about and didn't like to do before. Although it was a bit hard, he was still very happy to be able to share some heavy responsibilities for the people he liked.

According to Xue Ruitian's own words, if it's cold, it's cold, just wear a few more clothes and take a few hand stoves, it's not a big deal.

"Okay, don't give it away, go back quickly, it's so cold, and you don't have much clothes on, so don't freeze." Xue Ruitian swept the snowflakes that fell on Shen Cha's shoulders, touched her head, and said earnestly He said, "Don't read those official documents anymore. I just checked them. It's nothing important. They are mostly routine reports from various places. It's okay to read them after you have rested."

"Understood!" Shen Cha nodded, and smiled at Xue Ruitian and Hongye who was full of worry, "Brother Xiaotian, Hongye, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who has no sense of propriety, and I will take good care of myself. Besides, Miao Miao wouldn't agree to me if I acted foolishly, right?"

"It's true to say that, but don't we know what kind of temper you have?" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Cha and shook his head helplessly, "Just remember one sentence, you can't exhaust yourself at this time If you fall down too, Haolin will feel very guilty when he wakes up."

"It's rare for Lord Hou to say such reasonable words!" Hong Ye yawned, put her hands on Xue Ruitian's shoulders, and looked like a good brother, "General, it's good that you are really obedient, you can't say Make one set and make another!"

"Okay, okay, I promise you, I will have a good rest tonight, so don't worry! It's too cold, hurry back!"

"Let's just trust you once!" Xue Ruitian wrapped the cloak around Shen Cha's body, and waved at her, "We're leaving, you should come back too!"

"General, see you tomorrow!" Hong Ye bowed to Shen Cha, grabbed Xue Ruitian's collar, tiptoed, and flew directly onto the roof. "General, I want to eat Xiaolongbao tomorrow morning, remember to ask the dining room to make it for me!"

"I know how to eat and eat all day long, and I still hate myself for being fat. Why didn't you get fat to death!" Xue Ruitian stood on the room, tidied up his clothes, and gave Hongye a supercilious look, "Every time I ask you to take me Come up, you have pulled my clothes into a mess, what's the matter, revenge!"

"You don't even look at how many layers of clothes you're wearing. The weight of those clothes weighs more than you! A big man chatters, it's annoying, if you don't go back, I'll leave! "

"Of course, don't leave yet! Well, Xiaocha, I just remembered that tomorrow I want to eat glutinous rice chicken, and I haven't eaten it for a long time! I..."

Before Xue Ruitian finished the second half of his sentence, the person disappeared. With Hongye's assistance, Shen Cha felt that the two of them should already be in Wudinghou's mansion at this moment.Maybe, Xue Ruitian was complaining that Hongye was too barbaric, so he didn't even let him finish his sentence.

"Mei Zhu, go to the dining room and tell the masters that tomorrow's breakfast will be Xiaolongbao and glutinous rice chicken, and Wu Dinghou will order them to eat."

"Yes, General." Mei Zhu replied, turned around and walked towards the dining room.

"Meilin, go to Jin Jing's place to check on the situation, and come back after he finishes."

"Yes!"

Shen Cha stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked at the snowflakes in the sky, closed her eyes slightly, and silently prayed in her heart that her brother would wake up and recover soon.

"Why are you standing there stupidly?" Jin Miaomiao patted Shen Cha from behind, "The couple left?"

"Yeah." Startled by her, Shen Cha sneezed hard, turned around and walked back, and said, "The two of them are noisy all day long, and they hate each other, but in fact, neither of them can do without the other. "

"That's why they are enemies! From the day Hongye was transferred to Xue Ruitian's side, she has been clamoring to kick Xiaotian off, but if she is really transferred back, she will be the first to be unhappy."

"Well, that's what happened!" Shen Cha nodded, looking at Jin Miaomiao who was not in good spirits, "Are you going to sleep too?"

"Sleep, your elder brother has nothing to do, it's useless for me to watch by the side, you can accompany you slowly, I'm going to rest up, I've been exhausted these days, I haven't seen him for several years. I've been so tired. It will be Chinese New Year in a few days, and I don't want to welcome the New Year listlessly." Although she slept for a whole afternoon, Jin Miaomiao was still very tired. She felt that she would sleep for three days and three nights It's okay, as long as no one bothers her. "What's going on with my brother? It's not over yet?? He won't be really too excited and ruin those three things, right?"

"Have some confidence in your brother, he is very measured!" Standing in front of the bedroom door, Shen Cha smiled, "Just a little lesson, don't worry. I have already arranged for Merlin to watch, he won't mess around of."

"My brother hasn't helped you clean up the shadows for a long time. This time, he finally got the chance. If you don't play hard enough, it's not in line with his style. Merlin may not be able to just stare at him. His methods..." Jin Miaomiao Thinking of the weird smile on his brother's face when he bullied others, he shivered involuntarily, shook his head, and shook his brother's smile out. If he thought about it again, he would probably have a nightmare at night.She stretched her waist, changed the subject, and said, "Isn't Vice Marshal Qin coming to celebrate the New Year? When will he be there?"

"I received a letter from Master yesterday, and it will arrive in about half a month."

"Duan's retreat?" Received Shen Cha's affirmative answer, Jin Miaomiao rubbed his chin and said puzzledly, "I really don't understand why Duan took the initiative to provoke and ran to Yongning Pass with great fanfare. A battle was fought, a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were spent, but in the end, nothing was obtained, so we just retreated? Duan’s mind is really different from those of us!”

"Why didn't you get it? After this battle, King Duan has ensured that his younger brother can inherit his throne. For King Duan, this is the greatest victory."

"King Duan really dotes on his younger brother. He pity his sons. They rushed to the throne with ambitions one by one, but they all became stepping stones for Uncle Wang. Hey, I hope they can vote for a good family in their next life." go!"

Shen Cha didn't speak, just smiled, and snapped his fingers. Ying Shiqi and Ying Shiba fell gently from the roof, and knelt down on one knee to salute her.

"Prepare a few buckets of hot water, send two buckets to Miao Miao, and send the rest to me."

"Yes, boss!" Ying Shiqi and Ying Shiba agreed, and went to work quickly.

"It's getting late, you should go back too, wait for the hot water to be delivered, take a bath, and have a good rest!"

"Well, don't read those messy official documents, and get a good night's sleep. Maybe when you wake up, your dear brother will appear in front of you in high spirits!" Jin Miaomiao waved his hand, "It will be very cold at night, Xiaochacha, don't forget to put on an extra quilt!"

"Ok!"

Shen Cha watched as Jin Miaomiao yawned and entered the room, turned around and went back, took off the cloak and threw it aside, piled up the official documents on the desk case that he hadn't had time to read, and put them on the soft couch On the small table, he also brought his pen and ink with him.

"Boss, the water is in the next room, do you go there now?"

"Well, let me get some clothes."

"Then let me set up a charcoal basin, it's getting colder today, don't freeze!"

"it is good."

Shen Cha took a good bath in the room next to Shen Haolin, changed into thicker clothes, and felt much warmer.

Wrapped tightly back into the house, Shen Cha first went to Shen Haolin's bed to have a look, and found that the man was still sleeping in the dark, couldn't help but shook his head, sitting by the bed in a daze.Speaking of which, this was the first time the two of them were alone in so many years.

During the few days when Shen Haolin was most ill, Jin Miaomiao stayed with him from morning to night, including night, for fear that something might happen to Shen Haolin.Now that his condition has stabilized, it would be inappropriate for Jin Miaomiao to stay any longer.She knew this herself, so she went back to her room early.

Seeing Shen Haolin sleeping, Shen Cha suddenly felt sad when he thought of what Jin Miaomiao said during the day.The fact is just like what Jin Miaomiao said, her brother is the busiest person in the city, working hard.Although on the surface, I am the backbone of the Shen family army and have to deal with a lot of things every day, but everyone will report to her first if anything happens.But those things are very trivial, and although they will take effort, they are still far behind those really big things.

As for her elder brother, he thinks about military and political affairs every day, and his heart is full of family, country, and border security. The painstaking effort required is several times, even ten times, that of hers.

Shen Cha asked herself, if she was in Shen Haolin's situation, if she really couldn't reach his level, she should have collapsed long ago.And her brother, no matter how difficult and desperate the situation is, he is sticking to it, which she admires very much.

Perhaps only a person with such a tenacious heart can become a general guarding one side, and the border gates are handed over to such a person to truly reassure the monarch and the people of Daxia.
