Chapter 20 If You Don’t Like It, I’ll Have It Moved Out and Thrown Away
When it was time for dinner, Chen Ting, who had disappeared for the whole afternoon, showed up on time, bringing with him Chen Hao, who had just finished school.
Before coming, he had greeted the guard named Fuyao, and Shen Wangshu had instructed the kitchen to prepare the meals the two young masters liked in advance, so this time they wouldn't have to look at each other in bewilderment at the vegetables on the table.
"Husband, Brother Hao." When two figures, one big and one small, appeared at the door, Chen Wangshu went forward to greet them with a smile, acting very respectful and gentle - she had been tinkering with it for the whole afternoon today, and Chen Ting must have received the news. Wood ash and the like were easy to deal with, but lard was not cheap. This guy was so stingy, would he blame her for making trouble?
"Yeah." Chen Ting responded and walked into the house without changing his expression, followed by the dejected Hao Ge'er - Taohong said that the two brothers came from the study, and it seemed that the little brat was scolded by his brother.
As soon as Chen Hao stepped into the house, he heard Chen Ting say in a deep voice: "What did I teach you? You don't know how to call your elders when you see them?"
"I've met my sister-in-law. I hope she's doing well." Hao Ge'er, who was already depressed, was scolded again. Seeing that he was about to cry in the next second, Shen Wangshu hurriedly said, "Okay, let's have dinner."
"The kitchen has stewed chicken. Hao'er has worked hard at school, and my husband has worked hard too. Let's eat first." She smiled and asked, "Are we going to eat chicken wings and drumsticks like before?"
When their parents were still alive, the two brothers would occasionally be taken to the border together. When they went out to fight, Chen Ting would take care of his younger brother in the camp. The pheasants they hunted were extra meals. Chen Ting would give both chicken legs to his younger brother, and leave the rest of the meat for his parents, and only eat the wings which had the least meat.
Only the old people in the mansion knew about this past. Chen Ting glanced around calmly and thought that it must be the two maids newly sent by her aunt who told her.
She has only been here for one day, but she has found out a lot...
Chen Ting thought so, but he could not deny that Shen Wangshu's words did awaken his brotherly love, and his eyes finally softened when he looked at Chen Hao.
Hao took the initiative to pick up a chicken leg for his brother and whispered, "I was so young at that time, I couldn't eat so much meat even if my brother gave me so much."
Chen Ting snorted and said nothing more.
The atmosphere between the two brothers became much better. Chen Hao glanced at Shen Wangshu who had rescued him. Although he was still a little angry that she had not rescued him in the morning, he still smiled at her ingratiatingly and raised his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for her to express his gratitude.
The piece of meat was intercepted by Chen Ting in mid-air. The man frowned and said, "Public chopsticks. Also, your sister-in-law is taking medicine these days and won't eat meat."
"Oh." Chen Hao used the serving chopsticks to serve Shen Wangshu a piece of light vegetarian dish: "I don't know, sister-in-law, but I remember it now."
Shen Wangshu nodded and said okay, feeling a little surprised how Chen Ting knew what medicine he was taking… He didn’t ask himself.
The child's bad mood came and went quickly. After the atmosphere eased, he became happy again. He chattered to Chen Ting about what happened in the academy today and how he was praised by Mr. Wu in the martial arts class.
"I want to be a general who defends my country in the future!" Chen Hao said with a beaming face as he picked out the green vegetables that his wet nurse had given him. He ate the meat with relish and refused to eat any vegetarian food.
Shen Wangshu noticed this and shook his head with a smile: “If you don’t eat vegetables well, you won’t grow as tall as your brother.”
Chen Hao immediately retorted loudly: "No! My brother never eats vegetables, but he is still tall and strong!"
Chen Ting was stunned, frowned and prepared to implement some effective measures, then he heard Shen Wangshu say: "How do you know he didn't eat it when he was a child? Besides, aren't you taller than the girls in the girls' school next door? It's because he didn't eat vegetables well."
"......" Hao Ge'er's arrogance weakened, and he asked in disbelief: "How do you know? Have you come to our academy to see it?"
Shen Wangshu didn’t even look at his expression, he put down his chopsticks and wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly: “I also know that you are the shortest in your class and have the least strength. Master Wu only praised you for your hard work, but not for your greatness.”
Chen Hao looked as if the sky had fallen: "You...how did you know!"
How did she know? Of course it was Nanny Zhang who told her.
Chen Hao was a premature baby. The Turks attacked when the late wife was pregnant. She was frightened and the child was born. He almost didn't survive at birth. The whole mansion spent a lot of effort to rescue him and raise him well.
Although he has gradually become stronger over the years and has not had any illnesses, his development is a little later than his peers, so he is naturally smaller and weaker.
He loves martial arts and is always very serious in class. As the young master of the Duke's Mansion, Master Wu will naturally give face and praise him for his hard work when he sees that Chen Hao has such a good attitude.
After a long conversation with Aunt Zhang for the whole morning, Shen Wangshu did not just listen without taking notes. All the useful information from the entire Xuanji Courtyard was in her mind.
Chen Hao's gaze towards Shen Wangshu changed slightly, and the child asked modestly: "Sister-in-law, I am not as tall as them, is it really because I don't eat green vegetables?"
The person being noticed nodded calmly and said, "Don't make too much noise at night, go to bed early and drink more milk. I promise that by this time next year you will be at least five centimeters taller than this year, and you will definitely catch up with them."
The child gritted his teeth and nodded: "I, I believe you are it."
The wet nurse behind him tentatively put some vegetables in his bowl, and Chen Hao ate them obediently. Although his expression was a little grim, it was much better than before.
After dinner, Haoge followed Nanny back to his own courtyard. After he left, Chen Ting whispered, "I don't think I really ate much vegetables when I was young."
"How dare you say that, my husband? It's all because of you that you set a bad example for Hao." Shen Wangshu rolled his eyes at him. Not only was he picky about food, he also didn't know how to be careful in front of the child.
A beautiful woman's coquettish expression is also full of charm. It took Chen Ting a long time to realize that he was being taught a lesson. However, he was not angry at all. He just said, "I won't eat with him next time."
“…”Haha, what an effective solution.
Not long after the meal, Fuyao directed people to carry several large boxes into the yard. Shen Wangshu, who was about to take a walk in the yard to digest his food, stopped and watched curiously as the boxes were opened one by one.
Two boxes were filled with various books, and one box was filled with gold - small ornaments made of gold, such as little golden pigs and little golden pixis, which were cute and adorable. The other boxes contained educational toys such as the Nine Rings and Huarong Dao to kill time.
Shen Wangshu asked, “For Brother Hao?”
I didn’t expect that although Chen Ting, the brother, looks strict, he is actually quite caring.
"...For you." Chen Ting said expressionlessly, "If you don't like it, I'll have it moved out and thrown away."
