Chapter 279: Xiaocao's Birthday
After the news spread, Shen Kaiyuan really didn't mention marrying Su Luoyu as a continuation of the string, but every time Zhao Qingzao met Shen Kaiyuan, he would be glared at by Shen Kaiyuan fiercely, as if he was an enemy, it was estimated that Shen Kaiyuan already knew that everything was a good thing done by Zhao Qingzao, but he couldn't do anything to Zhao Qingzao, so he could only forcibly swallow this breath.
Zhao Qingzao didn't care what Shen Kaiyuan did to her, anyway, she didn't need to whisper in front of Shen Kaiyuan, no matter what, she also had Chu Xingshan as a backer, and Shen Changting would also protect her, so Zhao Qingzao didn't have to worry at all, she continued to live quite comfortably in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after Shen Kaiyuan knew about it, she was about to die of anger.
In the blink of an eye, it was Xiaocao's birthday, Zhao Qingzao counted the days, only to find that Xiaocao was almost five years old, remembering the days when he first came to Biancheng, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but sigh a little, because Xiaocao is the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his performance in the Confucian Academy is also very good, plus the Prime Minister's Mansion was suspended because of Chi Fenglai some time ago, and it has not been relieved yet, so Shen Kaiyuan asked Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting to be invited to the study, planning to discuss Xiaocao's birthday with them.
"Dad, did you come to us to talk about something important?" Shen Changting and Zhao Qingzao walked into the study together, and when they saw Shen Kaiyuan looking thoughtful, they asked suspiciously.
After Su Luoyu's incident, Zhao Qingzao was a little wary of Shen Kaiyuan, so just after she walked into the study, she paid attention to Shen Kaiyuan's expression, if Shen Kaiyuan showed a calculating appearance, no matter what Shen Kaiyuan wanted to do, she would not agree.
"It's Xiaocao's birthday in a few days, and I plan to hold a banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion and invite guests to celebrate Xiaocao. Shen Kaiyuan said with a calm face.
Hearing this, Shen Changting turned his head to look at Zhao Qingzao, and after seeing Zhao Qingzao frowning and shaking his head, Shen Changting turned his head again and said to Shen Kaiyuan: "Dad, we have decided to take Xiaocao out for a few days tomorrow, Xiaocao is still a child, he is not interested in these banquets, let's help Xiaocao hold a banquet to celebrate his birthday next year." ”
Shen Kaiyuan asked Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting to come over, just to let them know about it, not to discuss it with them, who knew that Shen Changting would not give him face so much, he refused directly without thinking about it, and before refusing, he turned his head to look at Zhao Qingzao's face, Shen Kaiyuan thought that he only had such a son as Shen Changting, how could he let Zhao Qingzao ride on his head? So he immediately slapped the table and scolded: "I am the prime minister of the dynasty, Xiaocao is my eldest grandson, do I want to hold a banquet for him, do I have to get your consent?" Do you still understand the rules?"
Hearing Shen Kaiyuan say this, Shen Changting was stunned, and was about to explain to Shen Kaiyuan, who knew that Zhao Qingzao suddenly stopped him, and Shen Changting didn't say anything.
"Dad, since you have said so, Changting and I will listen to you, let Xiaocao stay in the mansion, and hold a banquet in a few days. Zhao Qingzao said to Shen Kaiyuan in a deep voice, but did not defend himself, but directly agreed to Shen Kaiyuan.
It is estimated that he didn't expect Zhao Qingzao to speak so well, Shen Changting and Shen Kaiyuan were a little surprised, both of them were stunned, and only reacted after a while.
Shen Kaiyuan didn't want Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting to interfere in the banquet, so everything had to be handled by him, and Zhao Qingzao didn't bother to say anything, so he left the study with Shen Changting.
After walking out of the study, Shen Changting hurriedly asked: "Qingzao, didn't we all say that we wanted to go out with Xiaocao?" We have already promised Xiaocao, and now that we regret it, Xiaocao will definitely be very disappointed." ”
"Then what's the solution? You also saw Dad's expression, if we don't agree again, I'm afraid he will be furious, because Su Luoyu can't be a continuation, Dad hates me very much now, and he may be angry at any time." Zhao Qingzao sighed and said helplessly, she didn't want Xiaocao to be sad, but there was no way to do it.
Hearing this, Shen Changting nodded, and seemed to understand what was going on, the two of them glanced at each other, and then returned to the house together.
"Mother, where are we going to play, when are we leaving?" As soon as he returned to the house, Xiaocao happily ran to Zhao Qingzao and asked with a smile.
Seeing Xiaocao so happy, Zhao Qingzao felt uncomfortable, turned his face slightly, and tried not to look at Xiaocao's innocent smiling face, Zhao Qingzao said: "Xiaocao, the Prime Minister's Mansion is going to hold a banquet for you, so we can't go out to play." ”
"What, mother, you didn't lie to me, did you?" But you obviously promised me?" Hearing what Zhao Qingzao said, Xiaocao opened a pair of big eyes, and the loss in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all, pulling Zhao Qingzao's sleeve, and hurriedly asked.
"Xiaocao, you will be five years old in a few days, you have to be sensible, because you are the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so we will specially prepare a banquet for you, we will definitely take you out to play after a while, don't make your mother embarrassed." Shen Changting bent over, touched Xiaocao's head, and then said to Xiaocao.
Although Xiaocao is a sensible child, he is still very sad, so no matter what Shen Changting says, he just feels that he has been deceived, and after stomping his feet, Xiaocao said angrily: "Daddy and mother are bad people!"
Seeing this, Shen Changting wanted to chase him out, but Zhao Qingzao stopped him and said, "Don't chase it, let Xiaocao be quiet first, and let Xiaoyu follow Xiaocao." ”
Shen Changting knew that the person who knew Xiaocao best was definitely Zhao Qingzao, so Zhao Qingzao said so, and he could only nod and agree.
After letting Xiaoyu follow Xiaocao, Zhao Qingzao walked into the inner room again, sighing helplessly, thinking about how to make Xiaocao happy.
After Xiaocao ran out, he didn't come back for a long time, although Xiaoyu followed, but Zhao Qingzao still couldn't rest assured, after thinking about it, Zhao Qingzao planned to go out to find someone, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the door, he actually bumped into Xiaoyu who walked into the house.
"Xiaoyu, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to follow Xiaocao? What are you doing when you run back?" Zhao Qingzao hurriedly asked after he reacted.
"Young lady, the slave and maid are following the young master of Xiaocao together, but after the young master of Xiaocao went out, he went directly to the general's mansion, and he still doesn't want to come back, the slave and the maid really have no choice, so I went back to the house to tell the young lady about it." Xiaoyu hurriedly explained.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Xiaocao to run to the General's Mansion, and he was still reluctant to come back from the General's Mansion, what was going on? Could it be that Xiaocao was really angry and still unwilling to forgive himself?
Thinking like this, Zhao Qingzao was also very anxious, so he couldn't care so much, and immediately asked Xiaoyu to prepare the carriage, and then went to the General's Mansion.
After coming to the General's Mansion, Zhao Qingzao hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and just walked into the front yard when he heard Xiaocao's laughter.
Thinking that he was worried about his life, but Xiaocao was still playing in the general's mansion, Zhao Qingzao felt very angry, and after walking a few steps, Zhao Qingzao saw Xiaocao and Chu Xingshan playing in the front yard, Xiaocao was holding a wooden sword in his hand, Chu Xingshan was comparing moves, and Xiaocao was learning Chu Xingshan's moves in a good way, looking very cute.
"Xiaocao, it's already so late, why are you still reluctant to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Zhao Qingzao frowned, strode forward, and asked in a deep voice.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao's voice, Chu Xingshan was taken aback, while Xiaocao threw the wooden sword in his hand to the ground, walked to the side and stood angrily, and did not talk to Zhao Qingzao.
"Qingzao, why are you here? I saw Xiaocao come to the General's Mansion alone, and I thought you weren't in the Mansion, so he was idle and bored alone, so he came to play with me. Chu Xingshan saw Zhao Qingzao's calm face, and knew that Zhao Qingzao must be in a bad mood now, so he hurriedly explained.
Chu Xingshan didn't know anything, so after Zhao Qingzao told him everything that happened before, he immediately walked up to Xiaocao, grabbed Xiaocao's ear without saying a word, and scolded angrily: "Xiaocao, don't toast and don't eat and drink, you are the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why are you still so willful?"
After speaking, Zhao Qingzao didn't care what Xiaocao said, he directly dragged Xiaocao out, seeing this, Chu Xingshan swallowed his saliva, only felt that Zhao Qingzao's appearance was very terrifying, fortunately, it was not he who made Zhao Qingzao angry, otherwise he would be the one who suffers now.
Brought Xiaocao directly to the carriage, and saw Xiaocao rubbing her ears with her mouth and looking very pitiful, Zhao Qingzao immediately deflated, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiaocao, does it hurt?"
Hearing this, Xiaocao nodded aggrievedly, where was he pinched by Zhao Qingzao's ears, and in front of Chu Xingshan, Xiaocao loved face more and more, just thinking of Fang Cai's scene, he felt very ashamed, coupled with the previous incident, Xiaocao's nose was sour, and he couldn't help crying and said: "Mother, why are you doing this to me, I don't want to be the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I also want to be like other children, I can go out with my father and mother." ”
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao hugged Xiaocao distressedly and comforted: "Xiaocao, my mother will definitely take you out to play after a while, okay?"
Xiaocao responded with a crying voice, then nodded again, and then snuggled in Zhao Qingzao's arms, and after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Qingzao took Xiaocao back to the house.
"Qingzao, where have you been? I just came back from outside and I couldn't see you anymore, and I thought you left me behind. After seeing Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao, Shen Changting hurriedly asked.
Hearing Shen Changting say this, Zhao Qingzao smiled helplessly and shook his head, thinking about what happened to the two fathers and sons today, one had a temper and the other was frightened, so that Zhao Qingzao didn't know what to say.
After Xiaocao cried, he soon became sleepy, seeing that Xiaocao had been yawning, Zhao Qingzao knew that he must be sleepy, so he asked Xiaoyu to prepare all the porridge and side dishes, and let Xiaocao eat something to fill his stomach, Zhao Qingzao let Xiaocao go to bed to rest.
After Xiaocao fell asleep, Zhao Qingzao told Shen Changting what happened, and after listening, Shen Changting breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Xiaocao is fine, let's take Xiaocao out to play after a while, it just so happens that there is nothing wrong with the academy." ”
