The wet-nurse had been raising Shen Qing Ci for several months, and she had figured out her temperament.
Shen Wen Hao didn’t want to leave his sister. How nice his sister was! He even pinched her soft hands. He really wanted to raise his sister by himself. After all, she was his sister, and he could raise her when he grew up.
“What are you thinking about?” said Shen Qing Rong when came in because she saw her brother smiling like an idiot.
“Here…” she pointed at the food on the table and said, “A Ning is asleep. You can eat. It’s good for your health.”
“It’s not a big deal.”
Shen Wen Hao moved his shoulder. He had wanted to show off his strong physique, but he suddenly cried out in pain .
It hurt so much.
Shen Qing Rong shook her head, “If you still want to be a general like this, the soldiers will be misled by you.”
“Why can’t I be a general?” Shen Wen Hao didn’t agree with his sister’s words at all, “I will certainly make great achievements and become famous all over the world in the future. Don’t you believe me? Look at my strong body, my tall figure, and my charming and handsome face?”
Shen Qing Rong’s eyes twitched. She really didn’t know this big fool at all. Can’t he be normal? But sometimes when he got up he would brag that no one in the whole family was as good as him. No wonder he was always whipped. He deserved it.
He was strong and stable. Although he was not bad now, it was also because of his father’s background that helped him. He can grow six feet tall…this could be true but saying his handsome face?
Who told him that the battle had something to do with his handsome face?
Was it possible that when he fought, as long as he showed his face, the enemy would run away with a sniff? How could it be possible? She had never seen such a way of retreat. Who invented this way of fighting with a face.
No, she had to ask her father.
On the second day, there was a clear sky, and a light breeze came with the fragrance of flowers of various colours. The courtyard of the mansion had already been planted with flowers and plants. This was a courtyard specially prepared by Shen Ding Shan for his daughter.
His wife liked flowers, and so did his daughter. From the beginning to now, flowers were in full bloom all the year round. It took a lot of efforts and financial resources to get many precious flower seeds that didn’t get along well with each other, so that the yard could be full of flowers all the year round.
The breeze blew gently and the spring was warm. Three young men came one after another. One of them was in green, holding a dozen rattle drum in his arms, and the other two were also in the same attire as him. They belonged to Cang Song College, and as the students of Cang Song College they were all from either rich or powerful families. Of course, sometimes even if persons had money they may not be able to enter. To put it simply, the students there were usually from noble families. Ordinary families would not go there, because in addition to knowledge, there was also a competition of rank and status.
“Wen Hao, who did you buy these for?” The boy on the left was called Yu Wen Xu, he is the son of King Ping Jun, known as Xiao Jun Wang. He took a rattle drum and shook it from time to time. Why did your hobbies change so much recently? Do you like these things? Do you have a fever? Then he reached out his hand and touched Shen Wen Hao’s forehead. “Why do you buy these things without a fever? Are you interested in playing by yourself? “
“You are the one who has a fever?I’m fine. “
Shen Wen Hao held the rattle drums tightly in his arms. He had worked hard to find them, and they were all smooth, wooden and exquisite.
“Then why did you buy these? “The young man on the right was called Song Ming Jiang. His family background is a little bit worse, but he is also a scholar. Originally, his mother was related to Princess Jun, so he is also a relative. As long as he is related to Ping Jun residence, his status would be much better than others.
The three of them met each other on the day of school admission, and now they were friends.
“I bought them for my sister,” said Shen Wen Hao, touching these and other things. Although he felt pain all over his body, he was very happy.
“Aren’t you and your sister twins?” Yu Wen Xu also pulled one out of his arms and shook it in his hand. Why would a nine year old kid play this ?Shen Wen Hao’s twin sister was about the same age as him. She was ten years old at her nominal age and would get married in a few years. How could she still play with such things like rattle drums?
“I think it’s not bad. I can play with it if I have nothing to do.”
Song Ming Jiang laughed and started to play with one too. Of course, he could also pay Shen Wen Hao for it.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Shen Wen Hao grabbed the two rattles and quickly put them in his arms, trying to make himself a fat man.
“My little sister is only four years old now. It’s a good time to have fun.”
He wiped his hands on his clothes for a long time, fearing that others’ hands were not clean.
And his action also made the two friends blush.
They didn’t seem to be dirty, did they?
“I’ve heard that,” said Yen Wen Xu, as he tapped his hands. ” Shen Wen Hao, you’ve found your sister back, haven’t you?”
“Yes, I have found my sister, but my mother is gone.” said Shen Wen Hao
“I’m sorry,” said Yen Wen Xu, patting him on the shoulder. Both of them had the same name, so their relationship was very good, they almost grew up in the same pair of trousers.
“I know,” Shen Wen Hao took out the rattle drum again, “My sister is a child born to my mother, and my mother is gone, but we are still here.”
“What does your sister look like?”
Yen Wen Xu rested his hand on Shen Wen Hao’s shoulder and said, “I heard that your mother have a naturally fragrant smell and when she gave birth, the scent was even more intense. Do your sister also have a natural fragrant scent ?”
Of course, Shen Wen Hao scratched his head and said, “The milk fragrance of my sister smells good.”
Song Ming Jiang turned around and his eyes seemed to twitch slightly.
“By the way, we are going to visit your little sister today.”
“Okay,” Shen Wen Hao was willing to do so. The three of them were very familiar with each other. The three of them had always been together, and the people in the mansion were naturally acquainted with each other. It was also a habit of the high-ranking families.
Shen Wen Hao hurried to find his servant and told them that Yen Wen Xu and Song Ming Jiang would arrive soon. Of course, he had to remeber to keep an eye on Shen Qing Ci in case she fell down. They would go to see her later.
