Chapter 402: Not Participating in Scientific Expeditions
"No one is stopping me, it's just that you need a few more days of rest!" Feng Yuanchen patiently explained, "I'm afraid you're tired."
"I'm not tired." Sheng Zhiyao said stubbornly.
"I know, you're just not used to this kind of peaceful life, but we still have to stay for a while, and I'll accompany you every day when we return to the capital." Feng Yuanchen softly comforted.
Sheng Zhiyao was silent for a long time: "Okay!"
Although Feng Yuanchen said it soundingly, she was still vaguely aware of Feng Yuanchen's concerns and worries, so she did not raise any objections.
Feng Yuanchen breathed a sigh of relief, he finally got this ancestor.
Sheng Zhiyao closed her eyes and rested for a while, then opened her eyes and looked at Feng Yuanchen: "I'll go to bed, and call me again at dinner." The tone is calm and rational, and it is impossible to find fault with it.
Feng Yuanchen nodded helplessly: "Okay!"
Seeing Sheng Zhiyao lie down and cover the quilt, the eyelashes that were slowly closed trembled slightly, and the corners of Feng Yuanchen's mouth hooked up with a smile.
When Old Marquis Sheng was taken back to the Sheng Marquis Mansion by Hongxue, Steward Li happened to enter the courtyard, and he immediately stepped forward to inquire.
"Is Zhiyao okay?" His tone was one of anxiety and concern.
Hongxue's expression was indifferent: "The master is very good, don't worry."
"That's good, that's good......" Sheng Zhiyao, who heard it, was fine, and he was also relieved.
Li Qiao is actually not much older than Sheng Zhiyao, he is only more than ten years old, and he has been a driver in their house for almost ten years, Li Qiao has never returned to his home in the past ten years, I heard that his parents have passed away when he was a soldier, so the Sheng family is also his home, Sheng Lixin has never treated him as an outsider, and he was chosen as a driver because they were both born in the military and are relatively close to each other.
"Li Qiao, you have time to go to Yuanyaozhuang recently, Ziyan is alone there, even if he is too busy."
"Yes, I'll go tomorrow." Li Qiao respectfully agreed, and then said goodbye and left.
There were only two people left in the courtyard, the old marquis and Hongxue, and after Li Qiao walked away, the old marquis Sheng sighed: "Hongxue, thank you for your hard work!"
"The old marquis is serious, the safety of the master is my responsibility." For Sheng Zhiyao, Hongxue also really likes it, after all, it has also learned a lot of things in the past few days with Sheng Zhiyao.
"How long will it take for them to get back to the capital?" Old Marquis Sheng suddenly asked.
"I guess it's going to take about five days!"
Hearing Hongxue say this, Old Marquis Sheng showed a look of disappointment on his face: "Five days, I don't know if these five days can be peaceful."
"It should be better if the master is not in the entourage, and he is almost recovered today, so there must be no major problems."
Old Marquis Sheng nodded: "I hope so, I also want them to return to the capital as soon as possible, so as not to have an accident."
"The old marquis is relaxed." Hongxue softly soothed.
Old Marquis Sheng shook his head: "No one can guarantee it now."
Old Marquis Sheng's voice fell, Sheng Zhengye and Qi Xinyue walked in, Qi Xinyue's face was pale and haggard, and she had obviously cried for a long time.
"Father!" As soon as Qi Xinyue entered the courtyard, she cried bitterly when she saw Old Marquis Sheng.
"What's going on?" Old Marquis Sheng looked at his son suspiciously.
Sheng Zhengye took his wife in his arms, sighed and said, "It's not that Han Mo is going to take the imperial examination recently, Han Mo suddenly said that he would not participate, and he would wait for Zhiyao and them to come back and make plans, so the two of them quarreled, and Han Mo angrily locked himself in the room."
After hearing this, Old Marquis Sheng also frowned: "Why is this all of a sudden?"
Sheng Zhengye shook his head, turned his gaze to Qi Xinyue, who was standing aside, and said in a low voice: "Xinyue, don't get excited, this kid looks the smoothest, but he is also stubborn, and he can't pull back the eight horses that he recognizes."
"They have a good relationship between brother and sister, I can understand it, but isn't it just for the sake of the present day after so many years of hard study?" Qi Xinyue couldn't cry, "How can you just say that you won't go if you don't go!"
"Xin Yue, Han Mo must have his reasons for this." Old Marquis Sheng frowned.
"Father, for whatever reason
I can't help but take part in the scientific expedition!" Qi Xinyue insisted on her own opinion.
Old Marquis Sheng patted the back of her hand: "I understand your thoughts, don't be sad, I'll go see him."
"I'll go too." Qi Xinyue choked up and said.
"Don't go, go back to the house with Zhengye!" Old Marquis Sheng disagreed.
"Father!" Qi Xinyue also wanted to argue.
"Okay, okay, just do what my father says!" Sheng Zhengye hurriedly interrupted his wife's words, and he didn't want his wife to be sad anymore.
Old Marquis Sheng was satisfied, and took the red snow and walked towards Sheng Hanmo's courtyard.
When he pushed the door in, Sheng Hanmo was sitting at the desk practicing calligraphy, wearing a green shirt straight and straight, upright and serious, looking serious.
"Desert." Old Marquis Sheng shouted, and Sheng Hanmo stopped his pen and raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were red, and there seemed to be traces of tears.
"Hanmo, what do you think? Why don't you go on a scientific expedition?"
"Grandpa, it's not that I won't participate, it's just a little later." Sheng Hanmo replied with lowered eyes.
"You are a man with ambitions in all directions, how can you be idle at home? And after all these years of assiduous study, are you willing?" Old Marquis Sheng said unhappily.
Sheng Hanmo pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Your mother just came." Old Marquis Sheng continued.
Hearing this, Sheng Hanmo's body tensed a little.
Old Marquis Sheng saw his expression change, sighed and said, "Your mother is also for your good, among the three sons, she has high hopes for you, you really hurt her heart like this, or you tell grandpa why you decided to postpone it?"
Sheng Hanmo was still silent, and Old Marquis Sheng did not persecute: "If you don't want to, just give grandpa a word!"
After a long time, Sheng Hanmo finally spoke: "I'm afraid of delaying my father."
Old Marquis Sheng was stunned for a moment.
"Your father?" Old Marquis Sheng looked at Sheng Hanmo in astonishment, "Hanmo, are you making a mistake? Your father is already the prime minister, so why delay?"
"Grandpa, I know you'll be unbelievable when I say that, but I do have selfish intentions." Sheng Hanmo hesitated for a moment and said it.
"Oh?" Old Marquis Sheng looked at his grandson with interest and motioned for him to continue.
"If I pass the test, I can naturally become my father's helper, and if I can't pass the test, at least I won't cause trouble to my father." Sheng Hanmo said solemnly.
"What are you thinking, you kid! Your father has always held you in high esteem, so how can you be in trouble?" Old Marquis Sheng felt that Sheng Hanmo was really thinking about it, so he patiently persuaded him.
"Han Mo, whether you pass the exam or not, your father's position as prime minister has already been done, as long as you don't commit any great rebellion, you will definitely not waver, as for you, you have to rely on yourself, and grandpa and I don't have to worry about you, I'm just an idle prince, who can shake me."
