Chapter Sixteen: Meeting Grandfather
I never knew that the arms of the male elders were so warm that she felt so comfortable that she wanted to hold her elder brother forever and hid in her arms.
The old lady beside her couldn't stand it anymore.
These granddaughters are becoming more and more unruly. They are so old that they are still hugging their brothers at home!
In fact, the old man is worried that Chen Yuntang will be seen as strange!
The old lady sitting cross-legged on the warm kang coughed twice, "Okay, it's noisy, so let Atang sit down and rest!"
Only then did Sister Tong realize that she had exceeded the rules and quickly let go of her brother. Her eyes were red like a little rabbit, and her shoulders shrugged and retreated aside.
The little girl cried so distressingly. Chen Yuntang helped her wipe the tears that fell on her cheeks and patted her head gently.
Then he walked to the old lady in two steps and sat down, "Grandma! Don't blame the sisters, they were worried that I would lose their composure."
"You!"
The old lady drew Chen Yuntang.
In fact, among her grandchildren, the old lady felt most distressed by Chen Yuntang.
Her sisters are usually women, but she wants to provoke the rise and fall of the entire Marquis’ Mansion.
In this way, what is the little suffering the sisters in the family suffer?
The sisters rarely get together, and Chen Yuntang's temperament has changed a little now, so the old lady asked her grandchildren to stay in Fushou Hall for dinner together.
Although the old marquis was still lying on the bed, this rare family dinner could not stop the joy in everyone's eyes.
The food at the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion is quite average.
Even Fushou Hall is not extravagant or wasteful at all.
The old lady took her grandchildren to have dinner together and sat around the table in the flower hall. There were a total of seven dishes. Even the fourth sister Chen Xintong at home knew that Chen Yuntang liked spicy food, so she specially placed a plate of spicy chicken in front of Shen Yuntang.
Although Chen Yuntang is no longer the original owner and his taste has changed, he can't help but feel moved.
She looked through her memories, but she couldn't find her family's tastes and preferences.
It seems that the original body has never cared about these before.
Although the original body was under pressure, it put the cart before the horse and instead placed the family in a position to deal with it and never really paid attention to each other.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuntang didn't know whether her sudden arrival was right or wrong in Yongxing Hou Mansion.
Chen Yuntang was originally a person with a good mind. Although he was a bit arrogant in some aspects, his personality was very likable, tolerant and generous. He was also a likable person in modern life.
While eating, she paid attention to the movements of her grandmother and several sisters. Seeing that the third sister's eyes fell on a roast duck leg on the plate opposite, Chen Yuntang's mouth was slightly raised, he picked up the public chopsticks and stood up, picked up a piece of duck leg meat and put it in Shen Xinyu's bowl.
Chen Xinyu looked at the extra piece of duck leg meat with oily and crispy roast duck skin in the bowl, and was stunned for a moment.
Chen Yuntang was a little surprised, "Why, the third sister doesn't like roast duck?"
Chen Xinyu heard Chen Yuntang's words and shook his head, "No, no, brother, I like to eat roast duck..."
The old lady next to her couldn't stand seeing the third girl crying again.
"Okay, the roast duck can't block your mouth, eat it quickly!"
When the old lady turned around, she picked up a piece of spicy chicken for Chen Yuntang. The old lady said gentlely: "This is the first time we Atang pick up food for our sisters!"
Only then did Chen Yuntang understand why Chen Xinyu had that reaction.
The relationship is because the original owner is too cold, and her changes surprised them.
Looking down at the bowl suddenly there were a bunch of vegetables wrapped in red spicy oil. Chen Yuntang was so angry that she didn't like to eat spicy food...
The original owner cheated her to death...
Chen Yuntang barely ate the dish in the bowl, and his cheeks were red with spicy taste. In the end, he had to reject the enthusiasm of his sisters on the grounds of health.
After the meal, the little maid who was taking care of the old marquis outside the door happily came in and reported that the old marquis had woken up and wanted to see the prince immediately.
Chen Yuntang did not dare to delay, and accompanied by Wing Chun and Bai Mei, he went to the wing room where the old Marquis was recuperating in Fushoutang.
There was a servant holding hands at the door of the wing room. As soon as Chen Yuntang arrived, the servant immediately led Chen Yuntang in.
Inside, only the old marquis always served Bu Fu, and Bai Mei and Wing Chun were also staying outside.
Bu Fu is the confidant of the old Yongxing Hou. Now he is in his forties and is one of the people who know the secrets of the Shen family best.
Bu Fu's wife is Mrs. Zheng who is in charge of the kitchen. He has two sons. The eldest is in his twenties. The second is the same as Chen Yuntang and both work in the outer courtyard.
Their family also gave birth to children from the Yongxing Marquis Mansion.
"Uncle Bu, what's wrong with grandfather?"
Bu Fu bowed respectfully to Chen Yuntang, led her to the edge of the bed, and whispered: "The old marquis just woke up. The old slave had just served the old marquis and drank half a cup of tea. He was about to see you as soon as he opened his eyes. You can go there!"
Chen Yuntang quickly walked to the side of the Babu bed.
I saw an old man with white hair lying in the bed, with thin bones, wrinkles on his face, and age spots on his cheeks and forehead.
This is the old Marquis Yongxing who turned the tide when he was young and assisted Emperor Wen.
Perhaps when he heard the sound of the bed, the old marquis slowly opened his eyes.
For ordinary people, it is obviously a simple way to open their eyes, but the old marquis seems to have many difficulties.
Under the light, the turbid old eyes slowly fell on Chen Yuntang beside the bed.
The old man raised his hand tremblingly, and Chen Yuntang hurriedly held it.
"grandfather!"
"Atang, you are here." After a brief sentence, he coughed continuously.
Chen Yuntang immediately frowned. It seemed that his grandfather's illness was not as simple as it seemed.
The old marquis looked at Bu Fu, and Bu Fu immediately understood.
He lifted the quilt slightly, hugged the old marquis and gently lifted it, and then placed a soft big welcome pillow behind the old marquis.
The old marquis leaned against the head of the bed, and Bu Fu fed him half a cup of warm tea. The old marquis's face finally looked better.
He waved to Chen Yuntang, and Chen Yuntang quickly sat on the brocade beside his bed.
At this time, Bu Fu consciously retreated to the outer room and closed the curtain leading to the outer room.
The old marquis was obviously afraid that he would suddenly have something to do, so he touched his pillow, took out a slender and delicate nanmu brocade box and handed it to Chen Yuntang.
"Atang, grandfather is afraid that there is anything to do, so you can take this first!"
Chen Yuntang was stunned for a moment, but he still obeyed and took the brocade box.
"Grandfather, you won't be in trouble."
The old marquis obviously had no time to say anything else to Chen Yuntang, so he shook his hand, "Atang, don't talk first, listen to grandfather's explanation."
Chen Yuntang had no choice but to pursed his lips tightly and listened to his bed-dormed grandfather's speech.
Half an hour later, Chen Yuntang came out of the inside.
At this time, the old marquis fell asleep again.
Chen Yuntang did not leave immediately, but instead asked Bu Fu to go to another room for a questioning question.
"Uncle Bu, tell me the truth, how long can my grandfather's illness last?"
Bu Fu didn't expect that the prince suddenly became so sensitive, and he discovered something wrong with the old marquis just one conversation.
