Chapter Forty-Nine
"Miss, get up, it's time to have dinner, the old Marquis asked me to call you over." Meier called while knocking on the door.
Sheng Zhiyao jumped up from the bed when she heard the sound, put on her shoes and ran out. When she opened the door, she saw Mei'er standing outside.
"Let's go."
"yes."
Then the two of them went to Qingliuyuan together.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Sheng Zhiyao smelled the fragrance, and her stomach immediately began to rumble.
"So hungry." Sheng Zhiyao muttered in a low voice.
Looking at her expression, Meier couldn't help but laugh: "Miss, it seems you are well. The old Marquis ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of your favorite dishes."
"Yeah?"
Hearing what Mei'er said, Sheng Zhiyao felt her stomach became even more empty.
"Let's go." Meier followed Sheng Zhiyao towards the hall.
As soon as I arrived at the hall, I saw Sheng Zhiyao's father, mother and two brothers inside.
"Father, mother, brother." Sheng Zhiyao shouted.
"Zhiyao, are you up? Grandpa said you were sick, but it made us very bad." Sheng Hanmo asked with concern.
"Brother, I'm fine now, you don't have to worry."
"Oh, that's good, that's good." Sheng Hanmo felt relieved when he heard that his sister was fine.
"Father, mother, brother, Zhiyao is hungry and wants to eat."
"Okay, okay, what do you want to eat? Tell your mother and I will pick it up for you."
"Um."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Sheng Hangu sighed: "I'm so envious."
"What are you envious of?" Qi Xinyue said with a smile as she served Sheng Zhiyao some vegetables.
"I envy my sister that so many people love her, but it's really sad that I don't."
"Hey, you." Hearing his brother's words, Sheng Hanmo couldn't help but shake his head.
"Third brother, don't be too sad. Although you are not as good as me, you were loved a lot in the years before I was born, right?"
"That was, in the years before you were born, all my father and mother's eyes were on me! But now, as soon as you were born, they no longer had me in their eyes."
"Haha! Then third brother, you have no choice but to accept your fate."
"Ignore you, hurry up and eat." Sheng Hangu looked at Sheng Zhiyao helplessly. She was the only girl in the Sheng family and his biological sister, so she could only be pampered.
The family had a happy dinner, and Sheng Zhiyao, her eldest brother, and her third brother stayed in the grandfather's courtyard to chat with him. They had not done this for a long time since they came back from Chuanxiang Garden.
Grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing, and hearty laughter could be heard from time to time. The whole Qingliu Courtyard was filled with warmth.
Sheng Hanmo and Sheng Hangu also observed their most beloved sister intentionally or unintentionally. They found that Sheng Zhiyao seemed to have changed, from the lively and active sister to the restrained and calm sister now.
Although she would still behave willfully and coquettishly in front of them, they felt that Sheng Zhiyao seemed to exude a mature aura, a temperament that no one could imitate.
"Grandpa, do you feel that your sister has grown up a lot since she came back?"
"Have you grown up?" Mr. Sheng said, stroking his beard.
"Yes, grandpa, didn't you notice? I remember that my sister used to take me with her and circle around me wherever she went, but you see that now she doesn't pay attention to me, my brother."
"Well, I have discovered this." After hearing Sheng Hangu's words, Mr. Sheng nodded in agreement.
"Sure enough, women are not admitted to the university. As a brother of mine, I don't even know whether it is good or bad."
"Third brother, why do I feel that you are worried about gains and losses?"
"Brother, Zhiyao is the child I raised by myself, can I not worry?" Sheng Hangu pouted and retorted.
"Give me back what you brought up with one hand. Which hand did you bring up? You should show it to me." Hearing what his third brother said, Sheng Hanmo teased.
"Third brother, why don't I remember that you brought me up?" Sheng Zhiyao asked curiously.
"Zhi Yao, you can't have no conscience. I've been playing with you all the time since you could sit down. All this is at the expense of my own time to accompany you as you grow." Hearing his sister's suspicion, Sheng Hangu
He looked at her aggrievedly.
Sheng Zhiyao heard Sheng Hangu's words and recalled the days in Chuanxiang Garden. She covered her mouth and smiled: "Third brother, you really just sleep next to me all day long. I still remember you said you would take me to arrest you."
Cricket, it turned out that I fell asleep first, so I waited until midnight and you didn’t wake up. Another time you said you would take me to Zhuangzi for a walk, but you fell asleep again, and..."
"Okay, okay, sister, you better stop talking, otherwise your third brother will have no shame in staying here in the future." Sheng Hanmo stopped him with a smile.
"Hehe, brother, you know, actually I have wanted to say it for a long time, but I have never found the right opportunity, otherwise the third brother will always block the credit for my growth on himself."
"You, why didn't I realize you were so sinister before?"
"Brother, how can you say that about your sister? Don't you think I'm cute?"
"Uh, of course! My sister is the cutest."
"Haha! Brother, you also have times when you give in." Sheng Hangu laughed and turned around. He didn't expect that his elder brother would have such a strong desire to survive. It was really not easy.
Sheng Zhiyao also laughed. She found that her elder brother also had a cute side when facing her younger sister.
"You guys!" Lord Sheng shook his head kindly when he saw the interaction between his three grandchildren.
"Grandpa, you also think I'm the cutest, right?" Sheng Zhiyao smiled and leaned over and said coquettishly.
"Yes, Zhiyao is the cutest."
"Hehe, of course, I am your most precious granddaughter."
"Yes, the most precious one." Mr. Sheng agreed quickly.
Sheng Hanmo looked at the happy scene, except for Sheng Hancheng, who couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, is there any news about the second brother and the others recently?"
"Yuan Chen sent me a message a few days ago, saying that everything is fine with them. They have arrived at the border and are ready to join the army. I hope you don't have to worry too much about them. They will also take care of themselves."
"That's good." Sheng Hanmo nodded when he heard the news.
He still cares about Sheng Hancheng. After all, he is his own brother, and he will also be worried about their safety. Although his parents have not expressed any opinions on Sheng Hancheng going to the border to join the army, they must also be worried. With this news, they can
Relax.
"Grandpa, do you know how the war on the border is going now?" Sheng Zhiyao suddenly asked curiously.
"There will always be casualties in war. All we can do is to minimize the casualties. You don't have to worry about this. The emperor's commander this time is Fu Baiyan. He will definitely handle it well."
"Fubaiyan? Is this the hussar general who grandpa wanted to betroth his sister to his son Fuziyun?" Sheng Hangu asked in surprise.
"Well, Fu Ziyun is the eldest grandson of Fu Honglang and the most potential heir to the Fu family."
"Grandpa, I only found out about this when my sister was born and Your Majesty came here. However, I feel that Fu Ziyun is not suitable for my sister. Their personalities are completely different." Sheng Hangu shook his head.
"What betrothal?" Sheng Zhiyao asked curiously after hearing this.
"My mother was pregnant at the time, so my grandpa fell in love with Fu Ziyun, the eldest grandson of General Fu Lao's family. At that time, His Majesty was the first to snatch the bride. Grandpa had no choice but to give up because of His Majesty's majesty."
"You bastard, what are you talking about!" Mr. Sheng couldn't help but said angrily when he heard his grandson's words.
Sheng Hangu stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything.
"How could I succumb to him? Don't slander me." Mr. Sheng glared at Sheng Hangu.
"Haha, yes, grandpa, you didn't, but didn't you agree with your sister too?" Sheng Hangu looked away and shrugged.
"Humph." Mr. Sheng snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to Sheng Hangu.
Sheng Hanmo, who was sitting aside, could only look helpless.
"Okay, it's been a long time since it happened, and it hasn't become a fact anymore. Don't mention it again in the future, and just go and have a good rest." Mr. Sheng waved his hand and said.
"Grandpa, we are leaving."
