Chapter 513 Uninvited Guests
Shan Mancheng directly rejected Liang Cheng's proposal and insisted on living in Cheng's house.
"General, you don't have to be polite. The things I donated to the Hubei Northern Army last time are nothing compared to the life-saving grace that Sixth Miss gave me. And it also allowed me to meet my cousin. My mother is worried about my cousin and his family." Shan Mancheng said calmly the words he had prepared long ago.
Liang Cheng was speechless. Even if others didn't know, how could he not know? Since Shan Mancheng was Chengji of the Jiayu clan, the reasons he gave at this time were completely untenable.
If the Cheng family's in-laws were the richest Shan family in Yunzhou, there would definitely be someone to take care of the Cheng brothers when they were exiled.
Unfortunately, he couldn't expose him.
"Cheng San, what do you think?" Liang Cheng threw the question to Sheng Ze.
Sheng Ze stared at Shan Mancheng for a while, then said, "Let my cousin live in our house."
"That's how it should be. I've lived in my cousin's house before and I'm familiar with the people in that yard." Shan Mancheng nodded with a smile.
Sheng Ze had already raised his foot, "I'll take you back and settle you down first."
Anyway, Dan Mancheng is here today, so we can't discuss the matter any further.
"General, goodbye." Shan Mancheng politely bowed to Liang Cheng before following him.
But Liang Cheng still saw a hint of mischief in his last look.
As expected, the young Chengji of the Jiayu clan is rumored to be no ordinary person.
Strictly speaking, Liang Cheng knew more about Shan Mancheng than Sheng Ze, and the battles between the Hubei-Northern Army and the tribes outside the Great Wall were not just a day or two.
Liang Cheng absolutely didn't believe that the young man Chengji was unaware of their previous looting in northern Hubei.
But when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed because of him, or because of Princess Chengyu, at least on the surface the people of the Jiayu tribe did not come to harass the border.
After Shengze and Shan Mancheng left, Liang Chengcai sighed. He didn't know whether the current situation was good or bad. In short, the future of northern Hubei would not be easy.
It was rare that Shen Xiao came back early today, and Xiao Lin happily pulled Shen Qingning to make dinner.
Not long after, Shen Qingqian also came back from the medicine field. Seeing Shen Xiao at home, he was surprised and said, "Brother, why are you up so early today?"
The Arsenal has been working non-stop lately to research gunpowder, and Chen Xiao hasn't been back for several days.
Shen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Old Qin asked me to come back and rest for a day, and then go the day after tomorrow."
"You've been busy for so long, it's time to take a couple of days off." Shen Qingqian nodded, knowing how important what he was doing was, and then said, "Then, big brother, have a good rest tomorrow. I'll let Qin'er and the others go to Grandma Chen's house to study."
The studies of Shen Zhe, Shen Qin and others were delayed for more than a month because of the surprise attack by King Zhao. These two days, Shen Jun couldn't stand the noise of the little ones, so he discussed with Shen Qingqian and reopened this small school.
"It's okay, just let them stay at home, they can't affect me." Shen Xiao smiled and shook his head. He was not someone who could be easily influenced.
Shen Qingqian didn't argue with him. She simply asked a few questions about the progress of gunpowder and went back to the house.
Just before the Shen family's dinner was ready, Sheng Ze and Ling Yun came back with Shan Mancheng.
They have always lived together at the Shen family, and tonight is no exception.
Seeing Shan Mancheng's sudden arrival, Wu and others were surprised for a moment, and then quickly invited him to take a seat.
"Mr. Shan, please take a seat," Mrs. Wu said to Shen Qingning who had just entered the room while greeting Shan Mancheng. "Sister Ning, go and cook two more dishes. We can't neglect Mr. Shan."
Shen Qingning had been hungry for the entire afternoon and had just cooked for the whole family. She was inevitably unhappy to hear such a request and could not help but secretly glare at Shan Mancheng.
Seeing this, Shen Qingqian quickly stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go."
