Because of their own mistakes, Shen Cha suffered such a serious injury and was plotted by someone with intentions. Jin Miaomiao and Shen Jiu both blamed themselves very much. As long as Shen Cha didn't recover, the two of them would not be able to settle down. Therefore, they would seize the opportunity and run to the Huqiu courtyard.
Shen Jiu didn't come often. As the first lieutenant of the forward battalion, he basically had little free time. He also shouldered part of the task of training new recruits, so he had even less time to rest. Once he was free, without even taking off his armor, he hurried over to see his sister, said a few words to her, and then hurried back to the military camp.
Jin Miaomiao was different. After entering the truce period, she, as a military doctor, had nothing to do. In addition, her brother, the housekeeper, came back from the Kingdom of Jin and kept talking about getting married in her ears all day long. She Listening to this, I felt very upset in my heart. I wanted to scold him, but I couldn't hit him, so I had no choice but to give in and run to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion for some peace and quiet. Besides, staying in Yaolu for a day is still a house, and staying in Huqiu for a day is still a house. Jin Miaomiao felt that it would be better to go to Huqiu to watch Shen Cha, so that he could avoid his nagging brother and the two of them could talk to each other. Talking and chatting, and occasionally meeting Xue Ruitian and Hongye who came to see Shen Cha, they gathered together to bicker, and the day passed very happily.
Shen Haolin was very happy that someone could accompany Shen Cha.
As soon as Shen Cha was injured, all the affairs of Zhenguo Palace, Shen Jiajun, and Jiaping Pass, no matter how big or small, were all piled on his desk. Although Xue Ruitian was also brought in to work as a coolie, he was still a little unable to do what he wanted. Every day I am busy from dawn to dusk, and sometimes I even stay up all night. Although he and Shen Cha lived in the same courtyard and the same house, the two of them could not speak more than two words a day.
"When you helped me before, I didn't think there were so many things. Now it seems that most of the burden is borne by you, and only a very small part comes to me." After a day of processing, On official business, Shen Haolin leaned on the recliner with a tired look on his face and rolled his stiff neck, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's all things we're used to doing, it's not hard work." Shen Cha walked up behind Shen Haolin and squeezed his shoulders, "Brother will be free tomorrow. I have already told them to send all these things to the study. It's better for me to do it." Responsible. "
"You should rest for two more days. Jin Miaomiao has always told me not to waste your energy and to take good care of you."
"If you keep raising them any longer, they will turn into pigs. Moreover, the efficiency of my brother and Xiaotian's work is too low. There are many important things and the progress is too slow. This is not a good sign." Shen Cha shook his arm. , showing off his flexibility, "I have to resume my morning and evening classes slowly. Master didn't say that when Duan retreats, he will come back. I can't let him see me in such a sick state." "
"Obviously, your master is here to investigate." Shen Haolin snorted, "Your master's letter expresses his strong dissatisfaction."
"Brother, you are overthinking it. Master clearly said in the letter that he is coming back to celebrate the New Year with us this time."
"This is just a rhetoric, so you believe what he says. You think, he has been transferred to Yongning Guancheng for so many years, and only came back for the first one or two years. He probably didn't trust us, but in the following years, When did he come back? He came back holding his breath this time. Neither Xiaotian nor I can escape this beating. Especially me, I will probably be beaten to pieces by Deputy Commander Qin." Shen Haolin caught him He took Shen Cha's hand and pulled her to him, curling his lips with an aggrieved look, "Cha'er, you must say something nice for me, please master, please be gentler."
"Brother, you must have confidence in yourself. You may be evenly matched with Master this time!" Shen Cha walked to the door and asked Ying Shisan, who was on duty at night, to go to the dining room and ask for two bowls of hot wontons. He turned to Shen Haolin and said, "Hongye hasn't been here in the past few days, and I don't know how the boy named Dai is doing. Is he being disciplined into being docile?"
"I have already obeyed. I was kicked to the training camp by Hongye. I am probably living a life that is worse than death now!"
"Very good, let him struggle in the training camp. It will be good for him." Shen Cha nodded, expressing great satisfaction with the result. "By the way, didn't brother ask Shadow to report to His Majesty what happened during this period? Counting the time, His Majesty's reply should have arrived. Also, when will the people I sent to investigate the Wuding Hou Mansion be withdrawn? Can you give me something accurate?"
"I've been wondering if I've forgotten something. If you don't remind me, I really have forgotten it!" Shen Haolin slapped his forehead, "I've been so busy these past two days that I can't care about anything. Song Jue His reply arrived at noon today, and he asked me to tell you that your people will check first, and only after the New Year can he find people to replace your people."
"Something happened in Xijing?" He took the tray handed over by Ying Shisan, nodded towards him, watched him close the door for him, and then walked back to the inner room. "If I remember correctly, he only has more people than me, not less than me."
"Don't worry, it's a good thing, a huge good thing. Do you remember that when the Queen Mother was in trouble, she recognized a righteous daughter among the people?"
"Of course, we can still talk to such a heroic girl." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows and put the bowl in his hand on the table to dry, "Is the great thing in Xijing related to her?"
"Well, it has something to do with us. I guess we need to prepare some gifts and send someone to deliver them."
"A gift? Is her birthday still early? I remember...it seems to be June, right?"
Shen Haolin held a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other. He scooped up a wonton and stewed it, blew it, and brought it to Shen Cha's mouth. After watching her eat it, he said, "If it was her birthday, she wouldn't be so arrogant. This princess has been with the Queen Mother for so many years. Song Song Jue likes this girl very much and wants to arrange a good marriage for her."
"The day to recruit the consort is set to be during the Chinese New Year?" Shen Cha moved a dozen wontons from his bowl into Shen Haolin's bowl. The master chef in the dining room was so honest. This bowl of wontons must be enough. Twenty or thirty, enough for her to eat for two meals. Shen Cha picked up the spoon and started to drink the soup slowly, "I returned to Beijing two years ago to report on my work, and I met him several times in the Queen Mother's Palace. As I said just now, he is very heroic and strong. Otherwise, it would be impossible to take care of the Queen Mother alone. Many years. Moreover, her kung fu is good. I thought at the time, if His Majesty recruits a consort for her, he should choose someone who can beat her."
"You are wrong this time. The prospective prince-in-law is the third son of Prince Yihe's family. He is of good looks. The key is his good character. He does not have any of the bad habits of the aristocratic sons in Xijing. The only shortcoming is that... There was no effort at all. However, this person was the princess's favorite. Song Jue was not very clear about what happened between the two of them. Both parties involved were very strict with their mouths, and the Queen Mother, who knew the inside story, refused to say it openly. He just said to let Song Jue rest assured that their little life would be sweet. The Queen Mother said such things, Song Jue didn't want to ask any more questions, and discussed this with the Queen Mother and Prince Yihe. The good day is scheduled for the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Will the surrounding countries send envoys to congratulate you?"
"The invitations have been sent out, but there is no reply yet. According to my estimation, at least Liaojin will not give up this opportunity and will definitely come."
Therefore, you have to let your people hold on until after fifteen. "
"No problem." Shen Cha nodded, "This news is good for us."
"Also, regarding your assassination, Song Jue scolded me severely, blaming me for not protecting you. Not only did he scold me, he also told the Empress Dowager about it, and the Empress Dowager was right Your love is no less than that of the princess. Knowing this, you are naturally very distressed. Song Jue said that he has prepared two large carts of things for you. His shadow has not finished loading the things before leaving the capital." Shen Haolin sighed, "Hey, next time I go back to Xijing, I have to think about some excuse to avoid it, at least until the Queen Mother has calmed down."
"By that time, the Queen Mother had calmed down a long time ago. Besides, even if she was angry, she wouldn't do anything to you. At most, she would just pull your ears and treat it as a kiss." He put away the empty bowls of the two people, along with Putting the spoon and chopsticks on the tray, Shen Cha walked outside, opened the door, and handed it to Ying Shisan who was waiting, "Thirteen, tell Mei Lin to prepare hot water for us to wash up later, and then go tell Xiao Five, we are going to prison tomorrow.”
"Got it, boss."
"Are you ready to start?" Seeing Shen Cha close the door and come back, Shen Haolin stretched, "I've been stretching for more than ten days, it's time."
"If we don't start, Wanyanping will come to ask for someone." Shen Cha brought a cup of tea to Shen Haolin to rinse his mouth, "Except for Abuhan's two lieutenants, who will be handed over to Wanyanping, the other people, Including Xiao Liu, how do you plan to deal with it?"
"Beheaded in public."
