Chapter 166 Showing off the little brat

Shen Zhuoli was indeed surprised when he heard the word "Master".

He subtly withdrew his reserved attitude, and after a while, he thought that no one noticed him... smiled and started a conversation with Brother Tang San: "Uncle Tang San, did my grandfather accept you as his apprentice?"

Brother Tang San nodded, "Yes!"

Shen Zhuoli asked casually: "Grandpa grows flowers every day, who taught you?"

He obviously wanted to ask whether he was an ordinary disciple or a direct disciple, but Tiehanhan didn't understand what the little brat meant: "The master taught him himself!"

Shen Zhuoli lowered his eyes.

Then he said, "I remember Grandpa said he would no longer accept disciples?"

The silly third brother chuckled. He was telling the truth, but he was obviously showing off to the little brat: "Yes, Master said he had already taken in four divine beasts. He didn't plan to take in any more, but who told me that I was suitable? Master said I was born with divine power, so he had to take me in! Otherwise, he could ask me to pick the knife?"

Shen Zhuoli laughed hastily and said, "So that's how it is. Third Uncle looks very heroic."

Then he began to introduce the place to the third brother in a somewhat attentive manner: "This place is quite big. There is a big martial arts arena over there where you can practice martial arts. I also go there to practice swordplay on a regular basis..."

The second brother laughed secretly in his heart.

From what Master Shen said, it's obvious that there's some hidden agenda behind accepting this kid. So, to be frank, his role as grandson isn't entirely legitimate.

When you first see them, you probably think they are some poor friends who are begging for money?

So he can't wait to show off, but if they are not close, then he is not close, and he lacks confidence. Once he finds out that there is someone who is closer to him than him, he naturally dare not show off.

It’s quite pitiful when you think about it.

Brother Tang obviously noticed it as well. He glanced at him warningly, telling him not to mess around on other people's territory, and then sat down.

The dishes over there have been served one after another. Second Master Shen hasn't come back yet, so Shen Zhuoli has been talking to Third Brother Tang.

Xinbao smelled the food and felt a little hungry, but Tuanzi also knew that he was a guest and could not break the rules, so he could only nestle in Yan Shenjue's arms, playing with his belt to distract himself, secretly swallowing his saliva.

Yan Shenjue frowned.

Then he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pouch. Inside the bottle were small pieces of sugar. He put one of the sugar pieces in Tuanzi's mouth.

Tuanzi was happy to have something in his mouth, so he gave him a kiss.

In fact, it didn't take long for Master Shen to come back. He jumped in and said with a smile, "You're late, come on, sit down quickly."

Several people stood up and came over to sit down.

Master Shen was obviously very happy, and said with a smile: "My Yipinbi is growing quite well after I brought it back... It seems that those pots of Qionghua can be moved back too. But my Xiamei doesn't seem to be growing well. Xinbao, go take a look at it later?"

Yan Shenjue said: "Xinbao wants to take a nap."

"Oh, yes, yes," said Master Shen, "Don't worry, wait until you wake up from your nap. I'll ask Anshun to prepare a room for you. Xinbao will be asleep at that time, so let's go pick out the knives first."

He paused for a moment and said, "Chang'er, please stay with me in the garden for a few more days. Do you want to stay for a few more days as well?"

"No," said Brother Tang, "Sanlang alone would be a bother, and there are many things going on at home, so we can't stay too long."

"Why are you being polite? Then stay for just one day?" Mr. Shen said with a smile, "It's a rare visit. My garden is so big that I'm afraid I can't finish it in one afternoon."

Brother Tang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay, if it's late, then I'll bother you for one more day."

Yan Shenjue did not interrupt. He waited until Brother Tang made a decision before saying, "If you can't finish the rotation this afternoon, I'll do it tomorrow morning when I teach Xinbao. You can always finish it. There's no need to look at the good-looking ones."

Mr. Shen agreed with a smile, and took the serving chopsticks to help Xinbao pick up some food: "Xinbao, have this. The chef in my garden is pretty good. The lion's head is very authentic. There is also a cook who is good at making pastries. Ask her to make some for Xinbao later."

Xinbao was already hungry, so he sat on Brother Tang's lap and tried to eat, saying, "Thank you, uncle."

Yan Shenjue sat aside, carefully removing the fish bones and putting small pieces into her small spoon. While Xinbao was eating what his elder brother fed him, he still had his hands free to eat what he fed him.

In fact, Xinbao's appetite is not big, but she prefers vegetables to rice, so she basically eats vegetables with porridge. Brother Tang doesn't feed her often, and if he is the only one feeding her, he really won't be able to keep up.

Yan Shenjue was used to it. Having practiced with hidden weapons, he was very fast at removing bones and fish bones. Not only could he keep up with her progress, but he also didn't delay his eating. His movements were obviously very fast, yet they looked very elegant.

Xinbao was full soon. Yan Shenjue carried her back, fed her a few sips of tea, apologized, and took her to the door to eat.

When he brought it back, Xinbao stopped eating. Instead, he sat on his lap, looking around with his big eyes. Only then did Yan Shenjue eat slowly by himself.

Shen Zhuoli really couldn't understand how the two of them were getting along. After enduring for a long time, he couldn't help but said, "Uncle Yan is so good at taking care of my aunt!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Yan Shenjue just said, "Yeah."

Shen Zhuoli blinked his big eyes, looking cute, innocent and well-behaved: "Is Uncle Yan a relative of my aunt? Why does my aunt call you wife?"

This time, Yan Shenjue didn't even say "hmm".

Shen Zhuoli felt bored, so he lowered his eyes sadly.

Brother Tang tried to smooth things over: "Xiao Yu, don't pay attention to him. Xiao Jue doesn't like to talk. He doesn't really care who talks to him."

Shen Zhuoli nodded: "Oh."

He said helplessly, "I just wanted to greet him nicely. Maybe Xiaoyu is young and doesn't talk much!"

The second brother lowered his head to hide his playful smile.

This kid, really is... so innocent and cute on the outside, but how come he speaks like a backyard kid? He was clearly saying that Yan Shenjue was a guest at the door, but he didn't even give him, the host, face, which was too rude.

However, Yan Shen Jue didn't care at all, and Mr. Shen Er obviously didn't care about this either.

Brother Tang still smiled and tried to smooth things over: "No, Xiaoyu, don't think too much. Xiaoyu is so pretty and cute, everyone likes you very much."

Shen Zhuoli smiled and asked in a friendly manner, "Uncle Tang, are you also a martial artist?"

Brother Tang said: "I don't learn martial arts, I'm just a farmer."

"Oh," Shen Zhuoli turned back and said, "Then I can only tell Third Uncle. Third Uncle, I am learning swordsmanship, and I envy those who learn knife skills from Grandpa. When Third Uncle picks out a knife, shall we go to the martial arts arena?"

Tang San's arms were not flexible at the moment, and he couldn't even use chopsticks. Second brother and fourth brother were helping him, and they were eating in a hurry. When they heard this, they paused and said, "Ah? I can't do anything now!"

Shen Zhuoli smiled and said, "It's okay. Grandpa's martial arts arena is very big. It's good to go and see it for yourself."

"Sure!" The third brother was so thick-skinned that he could run a horse. Not only was he not impressed by his show, he was also very interested: "Let's go and see it. Maybe I'll have to go there more often in the future, right, Master?"
