After Jin Jing separated from Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian, she went directly back to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. After entering the mansion, she grabbed a guard of the Duke's Mansion and found out that Uncle Yan was sorting things in the warehouse behind. Jump on the roof and head straight to the warehouse.
When she arrived at the door of the warehouse, Jin Jing saw Uncle Yan commanding the guards of the Duke's Mansion to move things from the warehouse. There were various boxes, various small boxes, and many strange-shaped things. , all of which he had never seen before.
"Uncle Yan, what are you doing?" Jin Jing came close to Uncle Yan and pointed to a large box that required eight personal guards to lift, "What is in here? It looks quite heavy. Yeah, what are you doing with all this in this world of ice and snow?"
"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and there is no New Year atmosphere in the house at all. We have to decorate it quickly." When Yan Bo turned around, he saw Jin Jing's big face appearing in front of him, "I was shocked. Why are you so close?" Seeing Jin Jing looking at the box curiously, Yan Bo smiled and said, "This is a screen that is going to be placed in the Nuan Pavilion or the flower hall. I think the Duke of Guo plans to put it on the night of Thirty'er. Where are the arrangements for the New Year’s Eve dinner!”
"According to the practice in previous years, it should be the Nuan Pavilion. The two places are about the same size and can fit anywhere. The people in our house are not like those who play music and dance, and they don't look like literati. It’s easy to write a poem or something, just a few people, it doesn’t matter.” Jin Jing touched her chin, raised her head and looked at the gloomy sky and the falling snowflakes, and said, “But according to the current situation, Not only will the snow not stop during the Chinese New Year, it will probably fall harder. The flower hall is an open place with no windows or doors. The cold wind blows in like this. If you stay there for one night, even if it is filled with charcoal pots, it will not be enough. It will make people sick from the cold. Not to mention others, our Lord Xue, who is afraid of the cold, will never approve of it."
"Indeed, this kind of weather is really hard for the Marquis. But as the end of the year approaches, there will be less and less time to idle!" Uncle Yan nodded and ordered the guards to move the screen to the back of the Nuan Pavilion. Go to the small room and wait until the 29th of the New Year to show it out. After ordering his personal guards, Yan Bo turned around to look at Jin Jing, who was a head taller than him, and said with a smile, "Look, since you officially changed your job and became a military advisor, I have never seen you wearing soft armor again." Now, I don’t see you wearing claws anymore. When I suddenly look at it today, this outfit is the most handsome and suits you best!"
"You are still very discerning and know good things!" Jin Jing took off the claws on her hands and said with a smile, "How can two guys like Xiaotian and Xiaocha, who have no vision, always dislike my claws? It's beautiful, but it's also very cumbersome. In fact, it doesn't matter if it's not beautiful, it's very lethal. I've thought about it, when the war starts next year, I will have to return to the battlefield, otherwise the people will be rusty, and the claws will not work! "
"You are right to think so. No one stipulates that military advisors have to leave the battlefield and sit in the rear. In fact, I have always felt that only by visiting the battlefield in person can military advisors truly understand the charm of the battlefield and formulate more rigorous and effective strategies. Battle plan, not behind closed doors, right?”
"Uncle Yan is right!" Jin Jing nodded obediently, sighed, and said, "I was thinking too extreme before!"
"It's good that you figured it out so quickly. Don't be too harsh on yourself. You and the Duke are young, but you are like an old man in your seventies or eighty, and I, an old man, seem to be more energetic than you two. Mr. Guo, I can understand that he has to shoulder a heavy responsibility at a young age, but you are different. Don't act like an old man all day long. If you can't learn from Mr. Hou, learn from your sister. OK."
"Her?" Jin Jing waved her hand, "Forget it, I think it's good like this now. If I were as crazy as her or the Marquis, there probably wouldn't be many people in this house who can suppress them. Are they still not allowed to go to the house every day to uncover the tiles?"
"When you hear it, it makes sense. Forget it, you young people have your own ideas, so the old man won't say more." Uncle Yan patted the snowflakes on his body and patted Jin Jing's body, "Say it. , what do you need my help with? Didn't you get into any trouble behind the Duke's back? "
"Uncle Yan, who caused trouble behind the back of the Duke and Xiao Cha. Who else in our house besides the Marquis and Miao Miao can do such a thing? Oh, by the way, there is also that boy Shen Jiu. Occasionally Hongye will also have a convulsion. How could a mature person like me do such a thing, right?" Jin Jing handed the paw she was carrying to Ying Qi who was passing by, and asked her to put it back on the weapon shelf, and then He grabbed Uncle Yan's arm, pulled him to a secluded corner, and said, "Speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with me seriously. It's a matter between Xiaocha and you."
"Huh?" Uncle Yan suddenly had a bad feeling. It couldn't be related to someone. He took a few deep breaths silently, relaxed his mood a little, and asked, "What is related to me and Xiaocha?"
"Xiao Cha just received the news. Deputy Commander Qin will be arriving soon. If there are no delays on the way, there will only be two days left. What Xiao Cha means is that you should put aside what you are busy with and leave Deputy Commander Qin alone. The most important thing is to clean up the yard where you want to live. We can't wait for them to arrive and don't even have a place to live. That would be rude to us. Anyway, Deputy Commander Qin is now from Yongning Guancheng, all the way away If you come to our place, you are considered our guest, right?"
really! Yan Bo couldn't help but sigh. What should come will always come. You can't avoid it. Although you have avoided thinking about this matter and this person during this period, you must face this person one day. After all, Still arrived.
"So fast?" Uncle Yan coughed lightly, "I remember not saying a few days ago that I had to finish all the things over there before coming back!"
"It's not too soon. Today is the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow will be the New Year." Jin Jing squinted her eyes and observed Yan Bo's expression. Seeing how he pretended to be calm and unconcerned, she felt full of confidence. Able to complete the task of delivering small tea. Thinking of this, he pretended to be distressed and said, "There shouldn't be many empty courtyards in our house that can be used by people, right? The courtyards of the old Duke and his wife have been closed after they passed away. Although they say it every day There are people cleaning it, but you can’t let Deputy Commander Qin live in it, right? Huqiu and Zhuyun are now the main courtyards of the Duke’s Mansion. As I just said, although Deputy Commander Qin is Xiaocha’s master, after all He is a guest, so it’s not very suitable.”
"That's really what happened!" Uncle Yan nodded, "Now the Duke and Xiaocha live in Huqiu. If Qin Zheng also lives there, it will be inconvenient for the two of them. Besides, Miao Miao and three children are also there. There, they have to wait until their yard is tidied up before they can move out.”
"Yes, it's too inconvenient. Zhuyun is empty now, but letting Vice Admiral Qin live in the female disciple's boudoir..." Jin Jing shook her head, "Even if it is a guest room, this is neither pleasant nor easy to say. If the bad guys find out about it and spread the word, the deputy commander and Xiaocha will lose their dignity."
"Isn't that right? You said he was fine and full, why did he come here? We have to worry about where he lives!" Yan Bo rubbed his brows and felt that his head started to hurt, "What a bastard. Trouble!"
"Don't say that, old man. He ran back because he was worried about Xiaocha's injury. This kind of assassination has not happened in Jiapingguan City for many years. Of course he is anxious. Don't talk about him, if not The Queen Mother and Commander-in-Chief Bai are paying close attention. It’s the end of the year and there are so many things to do that even His Majesty has to come over to see what’s going on!”
"Your Majesty didn't come to see what was going on. Your Majesty was bored in the capital and just found an excuse to come out and play." Yan Bo was accidentally taken away by Jin Jing, and he started counting on his fingers, "How many more are there now?" Is the yard empty?"
"There should be... not many left, right?" Jin Jing frowned slightly, "The shadows occupied a yard by themselves, and this time three more children came. Miaomiao planned to hand over her medicine house to me, and she and her children They lived together. Then, Uncle Yan had his own yard, so...
"What? What do you want to say?"
"Well... there are only two courtyards left." Jin Jing raised her head, looked at the sky, and said, "Of these two courtyards, one is at the side entrance of the Duke's Mansion, which is quite close to Shadow's training camp and dungeon. There are no other problems, it’s just a bit noisy. I don’t know if Deputy Commander Qin can accept it. The other one..." Jin Jing looked at Uncle Yan and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "The last yard is your yard, Uncle Yan. On the edge."
Uncle Yan's face turned a bit ugly. He was the chief steward of the Duke's Mansion, and he knew better than Jin Jing which courtyard could accommodate people.
With three children, Jin Miaomiao could neither live in the courtyard next to her, nor choose the courtyard close to the Shadow Training Camp and the dungeon. The three children were still young, and these two places were noisy every day. Not suitable for children.
The yard close to the dungeon is not suitable for Qin Zheng. Little Jin Jing doesn't know that it has become a temporary resting place for the night watch shadows, and has already obtained the consent of the Duke and Xiaocha. Therefore, Uncle Yan sighed. In the end, the only place he could live in was the yard next to him.
"Uncle Yan?" Jin Jing stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Uncle Yan's eyes, "Uncle Yan? Your old man has returned to his soul!"
"Stop making trouble, you brat!" Uncle Yan slapped away Jin Jing's paw that was dangling in front of him, "Well, little Jingjing, let me ask you a question!"
"Oh, please ask!" Jin Jing looked at Uncle Yan with wide eyes.
"What do you think about letting Marshal Qin live in Wudinghou Mansion?"
