Shen Cha liked the amulet given by Song Jue very much and put it into the sachet she carried with her. Regardless of whether she would accept Song Jue's feelings or not, she accepted this intention. In her mind, she thought it was funny to see Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian gnashing their teeth when she raised her head. She reached out and patted Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian on the shoulders, telling them to relax a little and stop being so nervous.
"I've said it before, no matter how Your Majesty expresses it, I will never like him, let alone enter the palace." Shen Cha picked up the teacup and took a sip, "You should also restrain yourself a little and don't give His Majesty something every time. Or just express something with this expression, okay?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "Have you come up with any interesting ideas for tonight's family dinner? We can't just eat and drink, right? It's too boring, I'm sure we won't be able to hold on. Zi Shi."
"Let's talk and chat, it will be time in a while." Xue Ruitian looked at Chen Cha and asked, "Has the ancestral hall been cleaned?"
"Don't worry, the ancestral hall is cleaned every day, there won't be any negligence. By the way..." Shen Cha blinked, "Are the firecrackers ready? There are children in our house this year, although we can't let them light the firecrackers. Bamboo is also very interesting for them to look at.”
"Of course!" Xue Ruitian shook his head, "There are two big boxes, enough to store them for one night! But..." He looked outside with some worry, "With such heavy snow, no one would be willing to go out and set off firecrackers, right? "
"You should set off firecrackers even when the weather is cold. This is a symbol of auspiciousness. Especially for us, there have been too many unlucky things during this period, so we need to set off firecrackers to get rid of the bad luck, right?" Jin Jing used a fan. Looking at Xue Ruitian's shoulder, he asked him to help bring the plate of melon seeds on the small table, "Although I just had a meal, I still feel hungry. Sure enough, I eat a lot when it's cold, and my mouth can't stop for a moment. Yes. The roasted leg of lamb at noon tasted good, I hope they can make it again in the evening.”
"Uncle Yan had people clean up the small kitchen in the Duke's Mansion. For today's family banquet, a few people from the big kitchen over there will be sent to assist Miao Miao. There is probably no hope of roasting the leg of lamb, but we can still have dumplings with pork and sauerkraut. ." Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder and closed her eyes slightly, "I'm going to take a short break. I'll get rid of the boxes piled over there later." She pointed at more than ten boxes neatly placed aside. Box, sighing softly, "Although the weather is very cold now, these foods can be stored for a long time without worrying about spoilage, but snacks and candies are just embellishments at best, and no one will treat them as meals. Eat, don’t eat three meals a day, just eat this, right? I have thought about sending all the snacks to the army, but I can’t do it alone. Rather than doing this, it’s better not to divide them, so as not to worry about whether you have it or not. It creates unnecessary differences and is not conducive to unity."
"Cha'er is right!" Shen Haolin nodded and took the blanket next to him to cover Shen Cha's legs. "I have an idea. There are some big men in the army, and many of them don't like snacks. , don’t like sweets, and they prefer to eat meat. So, I think we should keep some and send some to the shadow side. Then, the generals of each army should share more and give their deputy generals a share. Come out. As for the candy...just keep it, no one will want to eat it. There are many children in our army, so slowly share it with them!"
"Brother's idea is very good, I agree!" Shen Cha nodded, "As long as it can be distributed and not wasted, anything will do!"
"I just said that Song Jue is a guy with no brains. He is not rewarding us by giving these things. He is just causing us trouble." Xue Ruitian stood up, walked to the boxes, and opened one of them, "It's not too stupid. The box The names and flavors of the snacks inside are written on the lids. Let me declare first that I will not eat the salty snacks and leave them to you."
"Me too." Jin Jing and Hong Ye said in unison, "Snacks that are not sweet are not worthy of being called snacks!"
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha pouted at the same time. What they disliked the most was sweet things, and they only ate salty snacks.
"Hey, this tea cake is delicious. It should be a kind of mung bean cake, but it has a faint tea aroma and is not particularly sweet." Hongye turned to the one she liked and took the small box out of the box. He took it out and ran to Shen Cha, "Ah, open your mouth!"
Shen Cha took Hongye's hand and took a bite of the tea cake, "Yeah, it's delicious!"
"Yeah, right!" Hongye placed the entire box in front of Shen Cha and Shen Haolin, then turned around to look for something else.
"Leave me two boxes of each kind of snacks. I will send them to Master and Uncle Yan." Seeing Xue Ruitian take out a box of candies, Shen Cha shook his head, "They are older, so they should eat less sweets." Yes, snacks are enough. And, like us, they don’t like sweet things.
"Hey, if you don't like sweet things, life is so boring!" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing took out everything Shen Cha asked for and put it aside alone. "Children should like candies very much, right? But, they can't If you let them eat too much, you still have to be a little more restrained. If you choose ten of each kind, the total quantity is already a lot, enough for them to eat for many days." As he said this, Xue Ruitian began to rummage through the boxes, "By the way, there are still several boxes. What about the silk cloth? If we had known that Song Jue would send these things, we wouldn’t have had to make new clothes so early."
"He sent it over today, and he had to find a tailor to make it right away. He won't be able to wear it tomorrow." Hongye rolled his eyes, found a delicious osmanthus cake from a box, took a piece of it, and left the rest That box was delivered to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha.
"You've just recovered from a serious illness, you'd better eat less!" Shen Cha reached out and poked Hong Ye's forehead, "You are also a strange person. You don't even know you are sick, so what else can you say... You just feel sore and uncomfortable all over your body. I don't know what it is. What's wrong!"
"I'm different from you!" Hongye sat beside Shen Cha, "You have been ill for a long time, and you will notice when you feel slightly uncomfortable. I am different. Ever since you were a child, when did you see me give birth? Sick?"
"Isn't that right?" Xue Ruitian put the candies prepared for the three children into three small boxes respectively, walked over and put them in front of Shen Cha, "When we were young, we were like calves. You and Jin Miaomiao should be They are biological sisters. Jin Miaomiao can break a bluestone brick into eight petals with one punch. As for you, eight horses can't pull you. One can imagine how strong you two are!" Xue Ruitian lay down. On the table, he smiled evilly at Hong Ye, "You said you are as light as a swallow, do you think your eyes are not working well? You should ask the doctor to have your eyes checked!"
"Didn't you just say that, Mr. Hou!" Hongye snorted twice and stretched, "By the way, I almost forgot!" She reached out and patted Xue Ruitian's arm, "Master Hou, remember, Mornings these days!”
"Mornings these days? Oh!" Everyone should be sleeping! What, this kid’s assessment results are not very good? Is he in danger of being kicked out? "
"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "Seventeen told me yesterday that Xiaosi gave Dai Yi a hard time. However, he spoke highly of him and thought he was a good prospect. But whether he can succeed or not, we have to wait a long time. It depends on him. If he cannot break through himself and fails to pass the assessment after the Chinese New Year, no matter how potential he has, he will still be kicked out if he deserves to be kicked out."
"I really didn't expect it!" Xue Ruitian sighed, "This kid won the attention of so many people because of a thoughtless move."
Just as Shen Cha was about to say something, she heard Jin Jing shouting loudly over there.
"Come and see, there's a mezzanine here!"
Everyone looked at each other, stood up quickly, and rushed to Jin Jing's side.
"What's in the mezzanine?" The box with the mezzanine is used to hold candies. The candies have been poured out by Jin Jing. Shen Haolin asked everyone to step back, took the dagger handed over by Xue Ruitian, and pried it open. On the inner wall of the box, there is a letter in the mezzanine. "His Majesty's secret letter." Shen Haolin looked at the special mark left by Song Jue on the envelope, raised his eyebrows slightly, reached for the envelope, and handed it to Shen Cha, "This letter should be for you. "
"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, took the letter, tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, browsed it quickly, and sighed softly, "This discovery is a great discovery for one of us. Good thing." She handed the letter to Shen Haolin, turned to look at Xue Ruitian, and said seriously, "Brother Xiaotian, you are completely relieved."
"What do you mean?" Xue Ruitian looked nervously and confusedly at Shen Cha and then at Shen Haolin, "Is it related to me?"
"His Majesty's shadow has always been staring at your maternal grandfather's house. To be precise, it is staring at your uncle and your aunt."
"It's the same as back then..."
"No!" Shen Cha shook his head, "It has nothing to do with that matter. What I discovered this time is that...except for the Queen Mother in the palace, there is no one left in my grandfather's family."
"This is..." Jin Jing blinked, "Does this mean that the people in that mansion in Xijing are all fake?"
"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "Brother Xiao Tian's uncle and aunt were silenced because of that incident. Some people disguised themselves as them and continued to live in Daxia."
"Where are they?"
"Died in a fire!"
