Chapter 46 I'm going to see my great-grandmother!
As if struck by an invisible lightning bolt, the Fourth Master's body went limp, and he slumped down into the chair behind him, as if he had lost all his strength.
Grandma?
Is Shanxi the same as Tai Nai?
If it really is too milky, then all of this makes sense!
"You...you tell me the details of what happened back then." The Fourth Master's voice was hoarse, as if he had used all his strength to squeeze out these few words.
The manager, trembling with fear, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, swallowed hard and said, "That day, that little girl suddenly came to the Shanjia Auction House..."
The steward described the matter in great detail. After listening to the steward's description, the Fourth Master became even more certain that Shanxi was indeed the Great Madam!
Although he didn't know why his great-grandmother, who had been missing for many years, had become the Sun-hee, that didn't matter. What mattered was that his great-grandmother was still alive!
"Quick, quick, prepare the gifts! I want to see Grandma!" The Fourth Master was so excited he didn't know what to do, his eyes shining brighter than the stars.
The main house.
Shanxi lay quietly on the soft chair with her eyes closed, resting. Old Master Chen lit incense for her and gently fanned her with a feather fan to keep the temperature around her as comfortable as possible.
However, upon hearing the heavy footsteps, Old Master Chen immediately frowned and rolled his eyes uncontrollably.
The next second, Old Master Shan walked in from around the corner. Seeing that Shanxi was resting, Old Master Shan paused and hurriedly stopped his step. Just as he was about to quietly turn around and leave, he heard Shanxi's clear, cold voice say, "What is it?"
"Grandma, the fourth son... he sent some things over, saying they were a gift for you." Old Master Shan's brows were so furrowed they could have trapped a fly.
He felt that the fourth brother was a bit strange!
Yesterday he was still feeling sorry for the fourth son, after all, he was getting old and only had one son, Shan Yixiao, who was expelled from the Shan family. The fourth son must be very sad.
He had originally planned to find some free time to have a drink with Lao Si and comfort him.
Who would have thought that today, the fourth brother would come knocking on my door in a flurry, carrying his own wine and good food.
However, the fourth brother didn't come to see him, but to see his great-grandmother!
The key thing they brought was quite special; it wasn't gold or silver jewelry, nor any rare treasures, but rather... a whole bunch of food!
This gave him a very ominous premonition!
"Let him in." Shanxi slowly sat up, but her dignified posture collapsed in less than three seconds. She found it exhausting to maintain her composure, so she slumped back into the soft chair, muttering to herself, "Sigh... it's so much more comfortable lying down!"
When the Fourth Master entered, this was the scene he saw: Shanxi was lazily nestled on a soft chair, looking like a cat, languid and soft.
But those clear, cold eyes were like a deep, cold pool, exuding a kind of awe-inspiring majesty.
This is clearly my great-grandmother!
"Grandma!" The Fourth Master was so excited that he knelt down directly before Shanxi.
The sharp sound of his knee hitting the ground was particularly jarring in the quiet room.
Not to mention Old Master Shan, even Old Master Chen felt a sharp pain in his knees, as if the pain was transmitted to him through the air.
Shanxi hurriedly stood up and helped the Fourth Master up: "Little Fourth, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
"That's right, you're an old man, aren't you afraid of ruining your knees by kneeling!" Old Master Chen said sarcastically, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction and jealousy.
Another little brat trying to steal a prostitute!
"You... how did you know?" Old Master Shan's pupils widened, his face filled with astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.
As he spoke, he glared at Old Master Chen with resentment, suspecting that he was the one who had betrayed him.
Old Master Chen glared at him irritably, thinking to himself: Isn't one of you enough? I'm not that stupid prince, I wouldn't do something so foolish!
"Big brother! Why didn't you tell me about something so important sooner? Great-grandmother, you've been wronged." The fourth master cried so hard that tears streamed down his face like beads from a broken string.
The thought of his unfilial son insulting his great-grandmother and calling her a good-for-nothing made him wish he could send Shan Yixiao back to the furnace and reborn him as a human being.
Shanxi was incredibly soft-hearted and quickly helped the Fourth Master up, gently comforting him, "No, no, Grandmother, you're not wronged."
The voice was gentle and kind, like a spring breeze, softly caressing the heart of the Fourth Master.
The fourth master stopped sobbing, wiped his face haphazardly with his sleeve, raised his head, his eyes filled with awe and gratitude: "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely teach that unfilial son a lesson and make him come to apologize to you in person!"
"Grandma, if you're still angry, you must tell me, and I definitely won't let him off easily!"
"It's alright, it's all in the past." Shanxi personally helped the Fourth Master to a grand chair to the side.
The standing old man, Mr. Shan: "..."
Depend on!
I don't even get this kind of treatment!
"Grandma, I brought your favorite roast chicken and roast duck. Please try them and see if they still taste the same." As he spoke, the Fourth Master placed the food box he had brought on the table.
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of peach blossom wine: "This is the peach blossom wine you buried with me. It's been 150 years. I was thinking of pouring it for you to drink when I visited your grave. Now you can taste it yourself."
As the fourth master spoke, he couldn't help but wipe his eyes again.
Old Master Shan, standing to the side, chuckled: "Heh, I don't know why, but his fist suddenly tightened!"
As Shanxi listened, she felt her eyes welling up with tears.
That year, she had nothing to do and saw that the peach blossoms were in full bloom, so she made several jars of peach blossom wine with the little ones. She originally thought that when the little ones grew up and got married, they could drink it on their wedding night. Who would have thought that the fourth one would still be around now.
Recalling the past, a hint of tenderness flashed in Shanxi's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile: "It's hard on you that you still remember."
The fourth master smiled sheepishly, wiped his eyes, and said, "Grandma, please try this roast chicken and roast duck."
Shanxi nodded, looking at the golden-brown, fragrant roast chicken and duck, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes: "Back in the day, I loved this the most. Every time I ate it, I felt it was the most delicious food in the world."
"Hmm, the taste is still as good as before." Shanxi nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the cup of peach blossom wine, held it to his nose and took a gentle sniff. The rich aroma of the wine instantly filled the air.
“In the blink of an eye, 150 years have passed.” Shanxi held his wine glass, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
The fourth master watched from the side, a happy smile on his face, as if he had returned to his childhood: "Great-grandmother, if you like it, I will bring it to you every day from now on."
Old Master Shan's eyes widened: "Still want to do it every day? I think you're dreaming!"
