Chapter Eight: Grandpa's Plan Begins

The day passed quickly, and Butler Li left Chuanxiang Garden alone as soon as it got dark.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was still in their dreams, Butler Li had arrived at the Sheng family's old house. He successfully entered the courtyard and directly found the three brothers' rooms. However, when he passed Brother Cheng's room, Sheng Hancheng got out of bed alertly and held his own

He pointed his sword at the figure outside the door and said, "Who is coming?"

"Brother Cheng, it's me." Butler Li opened the door without hesitation and walked in.

When Brother Cheng heard this familiar voice, he put down his guard and walked forward: "Steward Li?"

"The old Marquis asked me to pick you up." Butler Li said to Sheng Hancheng.

"Grandpa asked you to come? Where are you going?" Sheng Hancheng put down the sword in his hand, took his coat and put it on.

He felt strange from the day he found out that his grandfather and sister's carriage did not follow them back to the old house. However, except for the wet nurse who always came to ask their brother where the sisters and the old man were, it seemed as if nothing happened to the other servants.

He said the same thing: "I will call the eldest brother and the third brother. Butler Li will stay in my room first to prevent you from being discovered."

Butler Li nodded and said, "Be careful, nanny."

After hearing what Butler Li said, Sheng Hancheng gently opened the door and walked out. In fact, he and his eldest brother had already noticed that there was something wrong with the nanny, but they didn't know what means she used to make her mother believe her, and even handed her sister over to her.

take care of.

He quickly bypassed the wet nurse's room and entered the eldest brother's room directly through the back window. After he woke up Sheng Hanmo and explained his purpose, the eldest brother put on his clothes and followed him to call his third brother Sheng Hangu: "Hangu, wake up quickly.

Awake."

"Wake up quickly, Butler Li is here."

Sheng Hangu turned over in disgust and waved with his hand to continue sleeping, but suddenly he sat up suddenly when he heard three words from Butler Li: "Who? Who is here?"

"Steward Li, put on your clothes quickly." Sheng Hanmo handed the clothes to his brother.

The three people quickly walked to Sheng Hancheng's room. When the door opened, Butler Li saluted the three brothers.

Sheng Hanmo stepped forward and raised Butler Li's hand: "Butler Li, you don't have to be like this. We are all the children you have watched since childhood. We don't have to bow to outsiders."

"That's right, Butler Li, please tell me where my grandpa is?" Sheng Hangu sat down on the chair and woke him up in the middle of the night to tell him where he was going.

"Brother Gu, don't worry, we'll leave immediately."

"What should we do here in the old house?" Brother Mo thought that if people found out that the three of them were missing at the same time, there would be an uproar.

"Brother Mo, don't worry. I will take care of it here. Let's set off quickly while it's dark. It won't be easy to leave when it gets light. I will explain it to my brothers on the way."

"Okay." The three people replied in unison.

The four of them quickly left the old house under the moonlight. A carriage had already stopped there not far from the intersection. Butler Li asked his three brothers to get on the carriage first, while he took the carriage and ran towards the outside of the city.

After leaving the city, the second brother Sheng Hancheng got out of the carriage and sat next to Butler Li: "Butler Li, where have my grandfather taken my sister these days?"

"The old marquis is taking the princess to Chuanxiang Garden, and it's not far from the capital." Butler Li replied while swinging his whip.

"Chuanxiang Garden? When did such a place exist next to the capital?"

"Chuanxiang Garden was built by the old Marquis two years ago. It was originally used by the old Marquis when he was going to retire and return to his hometown."

Sheng Hangu was immediately curious when he heard these three words: "Grandpa wants to retire and return to his hometown? Can His Majesty the Emperor agree?"

Butler Li smiled and continued: "Of course His Majesty would not agree, so Your Majesty found this place for the old Marquis."

Sheng Hangu suddenly realized, no wonder grandpa took leave as soon as he asked for leave. His Majesty could not escape the feeling: "It turned out to be His Majesty who asked for it. I said grandpa left just as he said."

"It's not that I just left. Grandpa should have reached some kind of agreement with His Majesty a long time ago. Although grandpa received the decree, he deliberately said on the day when the decree was announced that he would go home to worship his ancestors, and refused to thank the saints. Then he suddenly disappeared back home.

I'm afraid I did it for some interested people to see." Sheng Hanmo analyzed the situation to his two younger brothers after hearing the conversation between the two outside the door curtain while sitting in the carriage.

Butler Li just smiled and did not answer their words. He just continued to gallop with the whip in his hand.

Sheng Hancheng also returned to the carriage and looked at his eldest brother: "Brother, has Grandpa already made his choice?"

Sheng Hanmo said nothing but nodded affirmatively.

The carriage became quiet, and the three of them were silent. Sheng Hangu was too distracted to eat or sleep, but the other two brothers had their own concerns.

"We're here." Butler Li stopped the carriage and the three brothers opened the curtain and jumped out.

The three brothers were a little overwhelmed when they saw the building in front of them. This was the first time they had seen it in their entire lives.

Butler Li pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. Various plants in the garden came into view, and the door opened accordingly. Lord Sheng came out holding Sheng Zhiyao in his arms.

"Grandpa." The three brothers stood at the foot of the steps and bowed their hands to the old Marquis.

"Get up."

The three brothers stood up and walked forward to take a look at the sister in Grandpa's hand. Sheng Zhiyao waved her little fist happily, finally seeing her three brothers again, no longer having to stare at that ice face every day.

Mr. Sheng took them to the living room and sat down. The three brothers looked at a row of chairs but didn't know where to sit.

"There's not so much etiquette here, just sit down wherever you want."

The three brothers sat down at the bottom of the row next to the old Marquis. They were still marveling at the layout of the room. Feng Yuanchen heard the noise and came down from upstairs. He knew that the master had three grandchildren but

First time seeing it.

When Mr. Sheng saw Feng Yuanchen, he waved him over: "He is Feng Yuanchen, and you will all live on the second floor from now on."

The surname is Feng? The national surname of Shang Zhou Dynasty. Sheng Hanmo was the first to react and stood up and knelt down to Feng Yuanchen. Sheng Hancheng and Sheng Hangu looked at their brother and were still wondering why they were giving such a big gift. Feng Yuan

Chen's cold voice sounded: "Get up, there is no need to salute."

Sheng Hanmo stood up and looked at Feng Yuanchen, who was younger than himself. He really couldn't figure out which prince or grandson he was.

Lord Sheng looked at Brother Mo's expression and smiled and said, "He is the concubine of the second prince. He has been in poor health since he was a child and has been recuperating in his mother's village."

After hearing Mr. Sheng's explanation, the three brothers suddenly realized.

"You are all living here during this period. Brother Mo is studying hard to prepare for the scientific examination. Brother Cheng is training with Yuan Chen and the others. As for Brother Gu, you are responsible for taking care of your sister."

"Why do I have to take care of my sister?" Sheng Hangu pouted and looked at the old Marquis aggrievedly.

"There are often some in a big family who are not good at literature or martial arts. What do you think you can do?" Mr. Sheng looked at his youngest grandson with interest.

"I...I..." Sheng Hanmo couldn't hold back a word for a long time. He really didn't like reading or fighting, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

"Grandpa, why do we need to train?" Sheng Hancheng looked confused.

The old Marquis looked at him and frowned and said: "For self-protection...or maybe for the war in the future." After saying this, the old Marquis looked out the window. Every person who has sat on the throne of God throughout the ages has

There is a bloody battle, but we don't know when it will come. In this case, it is better to prepare early.

After hearing what their grandfather said, Sheng Hanmo and Sheng Hancheng immediately looked at Feng Yuanchen who was standing next to them.

Feng Yuanchen stood there very calmly without saying a word. He knew deeply that he would have to die or sit in that position to survive.
