Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

1Shen Jingli originally thought that he would be a very strict and old-fashioned Old Master, but he didn't expect that he would be a round and healthy old grandpa KFC. Furthermore, the Old Madam and the Old Master were worthy of being husband and wife, with the same round body and kind smile.     1

    

"You stinking brat, you've been back in the capital for so long. Why haven't you come to visit Third Young Madam?" When Third Old Lady saw Mu Chen, he immediately pretended to be angry and hit him on the head, "You heartless brat, to think that I, an old woman, would think of you two as brothers every single day, you guys …"    

    

The Third Old Lady snorted in anger and turned to look at Shen Jingli and Xun Er. When Xun Er saw the kind and kind Third Old Lady, he immediately smiled at her and, under Shen Jingli's guidance, obediently called out, "Grandmother."    

    

The Third Old Lady was immediately captured, praised towards Xun Er, and even gave him a big red packet. The little guy was smart, he knew that it was a big red packet for him, and held it tightly in his hand.    

    

"Fourteenth Brother, when did you return to the capital? "Why didn't you come find me?" A young man who looked somewhat similar to Mu Chen came out from the corridor, and with a few flashes, he arrived in front of them.    

    

The person who came was the direct grandson of the Third Old Master, and Mu Jing, who was ranked sixteenth in the clan. Looking at his face which was like that of Mu Chen's, Shen Jingli could not help but sigh with emotion.    

    

When Mu Jin saw him, he immediately ran in front of him happily to brush his presence. "Sixteenth Brother, long time no see."    

    

"Oh, it's the Brother Jin. I haven't seen you for a few years, you seem to have grown taller." Mu Jing reached out his hands to compare in height with Mu Jin, then wrapped his arm around's shoulders and heartily said, "Let's go, us brothers will go for a drink together, we are reminiscing about old times."    

    

When Third Old Lady saw his grandson, she wanted to take his nephew away immediately. She couldn't help but get angry and slap him on the waist, "You stinking brat, it's rare for Zi An and Jin'er to come here to pay respects. You didn't even say a few words to us old people when you wanted to take him away, do you owe me a beating?"    

    

Mu Jing giggled and then nimbly hid behind Mu Chen to avoid his grandmother's attacks. He even smiled mischievously and said: "Grandmother, what do you have to talk about with Fourteenth Brother? You should just give your time to us brothers."    

    

Third Old Lady was even angrier when she heard this. She was so angry that she almost chased after her with a stick. "You stinking brat, do you dislike me, this old woman?"    

    

"I don't dare, I don't dare. How could I dare to turn my back on Grandmother?" Mu Jing hid behind Mu Chen, still smiling brightly, without a trace of fear on his face.    

    

Shen Jingli curiously looked at the grandfather and grandson duo, and felt that this family was really lively, compared to the Eastern Mu Mansion, it was not at all better.    

    

Unable to bear to see them continue to make trouble, the Third Old Master spoke: "It's the new year, what are you trying to do? are you not afraid of losing face in front of the younger generation? "    

    

As he said that, he extended his hand to give Mu Jing a shot, then turned to Mu Chen and said: "Come to my study and play with me for a few rounds."    

    

Mu Jing was instantly dumbstruck, did his grandfather count this as blocking the way to kill people?    

    

"Grandpa, you are being too kind." Who would try to steal a person like that?    

    

Third Old Master glanced at him, then said casually: "Your father asked you to write a plan, you've finished writing it?"    

    

With the first strike, Mu Jing immediately covered his head and wailed. His grandfather was a demon, actually using his father to suppress him.    

    

He was still tightly holding onto Mu Chen's arm, and solemnly said: "Fourteenth Brother, the next two games are good, come to my courtyard right after playing chess, we haven't seen each other for a few years, so we shouldn't reminisce about the past. Aren't you afraid that my big brother will beat you up?"    

    

After instructing Mu Chen, he hooked his arm over Mu Jin's shoulder and happily said: "Let's go, Brother Jin, I will bring you to see my big brother."    

    

So, Mu Chen followed Third Old Master to the study room, and Mu Jin was also taken away by Mu Jing, while Shen Jingli and Xun Er were brought to the Old Granny's courtyard.    

    

Third Old Lady led Shen Jingli into the main hall. During the time it took for the two to exchange greetings, maidservant quickly served hot tea and snacks.    

    

Shen Jingli was arranged to sit beside the Third Old Lady, while Xun Er was held in the Third Old Lady's arms. The old lady seemed to like Xun Er a lot, and refused to let go while hugging him, and continued to ask Shen Jingli about Xun Er.    

    

"This child is very obedient and does not recognize anyone as a stranger." Third Old Lady took a pastry and fed it to Xun Er. Xun Er smiled as he ate.    

    

"Don't look at how obedient he is now. This is going to be troublesome." Shen Jingli shook his head and took a sip of his tea.    

    

When the Third Old Lady heard this, he only smiled, treating it as Shen Jingli's humble words, and did not take it to heart, "Zi An also caused a ruckus when he was young, so this child's personality is probably following his father's."    

    

Mu Chen caused a ruckus when he was young? Shen Jingli thought about it, and really couldn't think of anything.    

    

In a short moment, the First Wife Madam Qin led Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Bai, Eldest Young Mistress Liu, and Aunt Qing, the legitimate Mu Sihua, and the born Mu Siyu and Mu Sitong in. After a while, they bowed and greeted, and the First Wife Madam Qin led the way while the Third Old Lady smiled and said, "Sit, sit down."    

    

It was only later that he found out that there was a clear rule in Western Mu Mansion. Other than the eldest son, all the other legitimate sons and concubines had to belong to someone after thirty years of age. The eldest father and eldest daughter would give them a sum of money based on their status and ask them to move out.    

    

The Third Old Lady was in a good mood, she pointed at Madam Qin and Madam Liu and introduced them to Shen Jingli, "That's your first aunt and your first wife."    

    

Shen Jingli stood up and called out to the people, and also accepted the presents Madam Qin and Mrs Liu gave him. Madam Qin gave him a pair of jade pendants, of good quality with carved plum blossoms, and Mrs Liu gave him a bottle of perfume, which was stored in an exquisite little bottle. She looked very smart, and Shen Jingli was a little shocked, it turns out that perfume was already popular in the dynasty.    

    

Since the two principal wives gave their gifts, the other concubines naturally followed suit and gave their gifts as well. Although the concubine's status was low, she was still an elder in the house of the eldest young master, and could be considered to be a senior. Forget about the gifts, she didn't even give presents to the juniors who had come for the first time.    

    

After receiving the gifts from the elders, Shen Jingli naturally had to return the courtesy, not to mention the fact that there were a few other juniors beneath him, the gift Shen Jingli gave was very simple. Madam Qin was a box of three spirals Dai Jia a cat's eye stone Jewelry, Mrs Liu was a box of two spirals Dai and a pair of jade hairpins, the direct daughter Mu Sihua was a box of two spirals Dai and a pair of jade bracelets.    

    

Seeing Shen Jingli's present, the women of Mu Family could not help but gasp. Fourteenth Master, this two Daughter-in-law s, was really generous to do such a thing. Such a generous gesture had attracted the attention of everyone. At the same time, there was also a trace of fear.    

    

This child was capable, so she did not need to worry about him suffering a loss at the Eastern Mu Mansion realm. Her sister-in-law did not know which tendons were in the wrong, but she hated her grandson to the bone.    

    

"This is a gift from Jinglee, you can keep it." Seeing that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law were hesitating, the Third Old Lady spoke out.    

    

With the matriarch's permission, the ladies kept the items happily, especially the aunts who were beaming with happiness. They hadn't thought that they would be able to use such a high-end item like a screw cover as well as an imperial concubine.    

    

After seeing each other and greeting each other, the Countess ordered Madam Qin, Madam Liu and the other aunts to return first, leaving behind the three ladies.    

    

Mu Sihua was very interested in this sister-in-law. Once the Madam Qin and the others left, she immediately sat beside Shen Jingli and asked warmly: "Cousin sister, how did you get to know the Fourteenth Brother? Could it be that Fourteenth Brother fell in love with you at first sight? "    

    

Love at first sight? Shen Jingli laughed, thinking that the matter of him buying his as his wife, the people from Western Mu Mansion did not seem to know about it.    

    

"My parents want to sell me, just in time to sell me to him." Shen Jingli explained.    

    

She laughed and turned to look at her grandmother. Third Old Lady stretched out his hand and knocked her on the head, staring at her with a nagging look, "Such a young age, why are you gossiping about it?"    

    

She playfully stuck out her tongue, turned and was attracted by Xun Er, reaching out her hand to tease the little fellow. The little fellow smiled at her, and when no one was looking, it grabbed her head and pulled, causing Mu Sihua to almost scream in pain.    

    

This little devil. Mu Sihua muttered in her heart, and did not dare to play with Xun Er anymore.    

    

Seeing that Shen Jingli's expression was normal, it seemed that he did not mind and said a few words of praise to him, then changed the topic and asked Mu Chen what his plans were. After hearing that Mu Chen wanted to take back his private property and the Yang family's dowry, Third Old Lady said that he would help if he needed help.    

    

After they chatted for a while, an underling came to report that the Second Master family was here to pay their respects.    

    

Hearing that her second uncle's family had come to pay their respects, Mu Sihua immediately pulled back her face, and even the faces of the other two concubines became ugly, too.    

    

"Mother, your daughter-in-law has brought the children to pay their respects to you."    

    

He was the first one to hear her voice, and with Wang Xifeng's style of doing things, Shen Jingli suddenly felt a bit more curious about this Second Madam. Soon after, he saw a group of maidservant's daughter-in-law hugging and entering the door with a person dressed extremely extravagantly, wearing a forehead ornament inlaid with rubies. What Wang Xifeng, this was clearly the upgraded Lee Chunxiang. Shen Jingli curled his lips, feeling that something was wrong.    

    

"Aiya, so this is Zi An's wife? Why is it a pair? " After the Second Wife bowed, she sat down without waiting for the Countess to speak. The other wives and maidens who had accompanied her also sat down.
