Shen Zhaozhao looked at the old general on the first seat.
He was described as thin, with white hair and beard, and a weathered look on his face.
He took the initiative to walk over, bowed, and called out "Grandfather".
"Why!"
When Zhan Jianzhi heard the word "grandfather", the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened. He quickly responded and took out a box from his sleeve.
"When your two sisters-in-law got married, I gave them gifts. Now the Zhan family is not doing well, so I asked someone to dig this out and give it to you."
"Don't be disgusted."
"Go ahead." Zhan Nanxing gently pushed Shen Zhaozhao's waist.
Shen Zhaozhao stepped forward, took the box from his hand, opened it, and saw that it was an old ginseng.
It was dug out safely, with all its roots still there.
High value.
"I found it when I was leading troops. Since I couldn't use it, I marked it. Now I dug it out and give it to you." Zhan Jianzhi said.
"Thank you, Grandfather." Shen Zhaozhao carefully closed the box.
"My father is so generous. It makes me look stingy." Zhan Mingzhong joked.
Shen Zhaozhao looked over and found that Zhan Mingzhong didn't look much like the old general, but more like an old lady.
Zhan Nanxing's peach blossom eyes were inherited from him, and his whole temperament is more like that of an elegant scholar, not a general leading troops in a camp.
Yang 꿻 sat beside him, looking at her husband lovingly from time to time.
"What good things has father prepared?" Guo 꿻 poked his head in curiously.
"Ahem!" Lin 꿻 cleared his throat heavily and glared at Guo 꿻.
Guo 꿻 stuck out his tongue and shrank back behind Zhan Beichen.
“Hahaha…” Zhan Mingzhong was delighted. His two granddaughters-in-law were one steady and dignified, and the other straightforward and lively. When he was in Beijing before, he liked watching Guo 꿻 being taught by Lin 꿻 the most, which added liveliness to the home.
I don't know what kind of personality Shen has.
"I don't have the good luck of your grandfather. Even when I lead troops, I always meet old ginseng," Zhan Mingzhong took something from his neck, put it in his palm and looked at it, his eyes revealing nostalgia and sadness.
"I don't have anything left on me these days, except for this amulet, which was given to me by an elder," Zhan Mingzhong stretched out his hand and handed over the faded small red cloth bag.
I kept it because it was old and worthless.
"It's not worth much, Zhao Zhao, please don't despise it."
Shen Zhaozhao hurriedly took it, the small amulet still had body temperature.
"This amulet must be very precious to my father, and it also protects the safety of my grandfather and father," Shen Zhaozhao stroked the faded red cloth bag, "and you just gave it to me like this?"
Zhan Mingzhong nodded, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she really didn't mind.
He really had nothing to offer as a gift.
I was afraid that Shen Zhaozhao would dislike the amulet because it was too shabby.
"Okay, the gifts have been given. Zhao Zhao has been hungry for so many days, so he must have a good meal tonight!" Old Madam Zhan smiled and invited the 꺶 family to the table.
"Sister Shen, I'll sit next to you..." Cao Ya rubbed against Shen Zhaozhao and held her hand tightly.
Shen Zhaozhao naturally had no objection. She sat with Zhan Nanxing on one side and Cao Ya on the other. Fortunately, she also had some matters about the mine to discuss with Cao Ya.
However, Cao Ya had just walked to his seat and had not yet sat down when he was discovered by General Zhan.
"Miss Cao, come here, how can we let the guests sit at the head?" Zhan Jian waved his sword and pulled out a chair beside him, motioning Cao Ya to sit next to him.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the extraordinary enthusiasm of the Zhan family's grandfather and Cao Ya's evasive gaze, and pondered for a while.
Finally, Cao Ya couldn't resist and sat over.
Zhan Nanxing helped Shen Zhaozhao to serve a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of her. Seeing that she was busy looking at her grandfather and had no intention of picking up her chopsticks, "Zhaozhao, aren't you hungry?"
Shen Zhaozhao covered his mouth and leaned close to Zhan Nanxing to whisper: "Grandfather is not right, did he find out something?"
"Really?" Zhan Nanxing didn't think so. "Grandfather has always been so enthusiastic and sincere."
Shen Zhaozhao pondered, if it was only his grandfather who was enthusiastic, it would be fine, but Cao Ya was also not right.
Dodging and evading.
Cao Ya had always looked calm and composed before, but at tonight's family dinner, escapist look was written all over his face.
At the table, everyone was talking and laughing.
Guan Pingle was also a talkative person. After a few drinks, everyone present became more like their own brothers.
Not long after, he and Zhan Dongfeng were linked in arms, and they were just one step away from becoming sworn brothers.
Shen Zhaozhao ate his meal absentmindedly, looking at Cao Ya and his grandfather with his eyes rolling.
She had a feeling that her grandfather must have figured out something.
"Zhao Zhao." Zhan Nanxing reminded her helplessly, "The soup is getting cold."
Didn’t she say she was hungry?
He was clamoring for meat yesterday, but today, when the meat was placed in front of him, he lost interest.
Shen Zhaozhao hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank the soup.
A glance.
Looking across the table, General Zhan personally served Cao Ya a spoonful of scrambled eggs.
Cao Ya thanked him and lowered his head to eat.
General Zhan narrowed his eyes and served her another spoonful of scrambled eggs.
Cao Ya ate again.
Fight the old general again and eat Cao Ya again.
The two people seemed to be at odds with each other.
Shen Zhaozhao found it very interesting and stared at them.
Suddenly, Cao Ya raised his eyes and also looked at her.
Shen Zhaozhao, who was caught, quickly looked away and lowered his head to continue drinking soup.
At a family dinner, some people drink heartlessly and call each other brothers, while others have ulterior motives and are thinking about things.
After three rounds of drinks, Cao Ya stood up and said goodbye.
After all, she is a girl.
"I'll go see Miss Cao off." General Zhan stood up immediately.
Now, even Zhan Nanxing noticed something was wrong, "Grandfather, General Guan is still here, Zhao Zhao and I can go and see him off."
General Zhan shook his head and gave Zhan Nanxing a wink.
Shen Zhaozhao was about to stand up, but Zhan Nanxing pulled him back to sit.
"Zhao Zhao, don't you want to eat meat?" Zhan Nanxing picked up a chicken leg for her.
Shen Zhaozhao watched Cao Ya and General Zhan leave the hall together, craning his neck, and had no time to care about the chicken legs.
"Husband, aren't you curious about Cao Ya's origins?" Shen Zhaozhao grinned with his white teeth and his eyes sparkled.
Zhan Nanxing was still a little hesitant, "My grandfather didn't allow me to follow..."
In Guo 꿻's eyes, Zhan Jianzhi is just an old man who can be joked with, but in the hearts of his three grandsons, his majesty is enough with just one look.
"If he won't let us, we just have to avoid being discovered by him." Shen Zhaozhao pulled Zhan Nanxing up, told Guo 꿻 who was standing beside him that they were going to the toilet, and then pulled Zhan Nanxing out to chase after him.
I left the living room and walked along the eaves, but saw no one.
As soon as he turned the corner, Shen Zhaozhao retracted his steps, blocking Zhan Nanxing behind him, hiding in the corner, and quietly looking at the door.
The door was not open. In the yard in front of the door, there were two people, Cao Ya and the old general.
The moonlight was bright tonight, and 땣 could see their movements clearly.
In the watery moonlight, Shen Zhaozhao widened his eyes and watched the iron-willed old general of the Zhan family kneel down in front of Cao Ya.
Both of them fell to the ground.
Kowtowed three times to Cao Ya.
"Oh my god..."
The scene was so shocking that Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help it.
