Not long after Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai chatted, two female envoys came over with food boxes, saying that they had been ordered by the eldest lady to bring dinner to Wei Chen.

When I opened the food box, I saw that there were bad goose gizzards, stewed pigeon chicks, wooden whitebait, and chicken breast wings......

There are a total of four meat and four vegetables, three kinds of dim sum melons and fruits, and a bowl of pure white new soft rice stalk rice, with a silver spoon and two pairs of tooth clips, which the female envoy takes out in turn and places them on the round table.

Looking at the colorful dishes in front of him, Wei Chen's index finger moved, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously: "Brother, your family's food is too good, right?" ”

"Naturally, it won't be so rich on weekdays, isn't this a virtuous brother?"

Sheng Changbai sat down at the table, picked up a pair of toothbrushes, and greeted Wei Chen with a smile: "This table of dishes is specially prepared for you by the chef with the best skills in my mother's yard. ”

"Thank you, brother!"

Wei Chen arched his hand towards Sheng Changbai, and then couldn't wait to sit down and start enjoying the delicious food.

Sheng Changbai's demeanor was elegant when he ate, he didn't say a word, and strictly abided by the dining etiquette, and it seemed to be a pleasure to watch him eat.

As for Wei Chen, he can't care so much.

If it was a formal occasion like a banquet, Wei Chen would definitely be more polite than anyone else, and he would not exceed the rules at all, but at the moment, there were only two people in the room, he and Sheng Changbai, what else was there to hold?

Besides, Wei Chen was tired of traveling and driving, his stomach was empty, and he was already hungry.

So Wei Chen didn't talk about eating anymore, he devoured a meal, and the autumn wind swept away all the delicacies in front of him, and more than half of the dozen or so side dishes on the table went into Wei Chen's stomach.

"Hiccup~~~"

After drinking and eating, Wei Chen patted his round belly and involuntarily burped.

Sheng Changbai didn't care about this, but smiled gently. After more than half a year of intersecting with Wei Chen, he also knows a lot about Wei Chen, and knows that Wei Chen will only show such a true temperament in front of people close to him.

After dinner, Sheng Changbai on the front foot was just called by Wang Ruofu to speak, and Sheng Hong on the back foot came to the west wing to visit Wei Chen, asking some virtuous nephews if they were eating well and whether they were living well, and so on, and the words were very intimate, which flattered Wei Chen.

Wei Chen and Sheng Hong chatted with each other, and then proposed to go to Aunt Wei Xiaoniang's yard to have a look.

Sheng Hong listened to Wei Chen's aunt call affectionately, and his heart was even more determined, his cousin really didn't blame himself, this Wei Chen did have some affection for Wei Xiaoniang.

After thinking for a while, Sheng Hong called his personal servant Dongrong to give a few words, and then personally led Wei Chen to Qinyun Courtyard where Wei Xiaoniang lived.

As soon as he stepped into Qinyun Courtyard, Wei Chen felt that this courtyard was different from the rest of the Sheng family.

One is that the place is narrow, the second is the simple decoration, and the third is the lack of manpower.

Wei Chen followed Sheng Hong into the courtyard gate, but he didn't meet a single subordinate along the way, and no one reported it, whether it was in Wei Ruixuan or Lin Qi Pavilion, this was an impossible thing to happen.

Sheng Hong has been to Qinyun Courtyard more than once, and naturally knows that there are many fewer people in this courtyard than elsewhere, but he has always turned a blind eye and never paid attention to it.

However, Sheng Hong didn't come alone this time, he was followed by a Wei Chen.

In the huge courtyard, there is not a single figure to be seen, and the scene is somewhat ugly.

Seeing Wei Chen's inquiring gaze, Sheng Hong's face was also a little unbearable, and he explained casually: "The people in this courtyard are all lazy and greedy, and they were all sent away by me a few days ago, and the family has been busy with Hua'er's marriage these days, and they haven't taken care of rearranging people." ”

Wei Chen nodded slightly, as if he had suddenly realized, but he sneered in his heart, disdainful of Sheng Hong's hypocrisy.

Of course, he knew that there were only two subordinates in this Qinyun Courtyard, and that's it, and Xiao Tao, who was a little big fart, was the only one who could really serve Wei Shuyi at all times.

Anyway, Wei Chen and Sheng Hong were still very harmonious on the surface, the two talked and laughed happily all the way, walked along the corridor to the door of the house, and finally faintly heard someone coming.

At the door of the house, two skinny young children were sitting on wooden chairs playing and playing, their hair tied in a knot on the left and right, looking like sheep's horns on their heads.

One of the little girls inadvertently raised her head and saw Sheng Hong and Wei Chen walking not far away, and her eyes were suddenly full of surprise.

"Daddy!"

This clever little girl jumped off the stool and threw herself at Sheng Hong.

"Ming'er." Sheng Hong hugged the little girl into his arms, his face was full of loving smiles, and he made a "shhhh ”

"Hmm!"

The little girl nodded vigorously, obediently covered her mouth, and then turned her eyes to look at Wei Chen behind Sheng Hong, her eyes full of curiosity.

Wei Chen knew that the lively and cute little girl in front of him must be the sixth Minglan of the Sheng family.

Lao Liu can be a number word or an adjective, and Minglan happens to be both.

Of course, at this time, Minglan had not yet suffered the blow of Wei Xiaoniang's death in childbirth, and her scheming had not become as deep as later, and the smile on her face was still so innocent.

On a whim, Wei Chen tilted his head and grimaced at Xiao Minglan.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Minglan was not only not frightened, but also pursed her lips at Wei Chen disdainfully, as if she was expressing disdain for Wei Chen's childish behavior.

Wei Chen was bored, but he didn't care, and he still smiled when he looked at Xiao Minglan.

Xiao Minglan stuck out her tongue at Wei Chen, and then hid her little head in Sheng Hong's arms with a snort.

"Lord."

When Sheng Hong and Wei Chen passed by the door, another little girl who had just played with Xiao Minglan hurriedly stood up and blessed Sheng Hong as if she were doing so.

Sheng Hong nodded slightly, hugged Xiao Minglan and continued to walk into the house, but Wei Chen behind him looked curiously at this little girl who was about the same age as Minglan.

Well, it's stupid, it's cute and lovely, it's a little peach.

Little Peach was bowing her head to the lord, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at her, so she secretly tilted her eyes upward, and saw a handsome and elegant big brother bending down and smiling at her.

"He's smiling so beautifully."

Xiao Xiao Tao said silently in her heart, and then her little face turned red when she rubbed the ground, and she quickly buried her head in her neck.

Yo, I'm pretty shy.

Wei Chen was immediately happy, and when Sheng Hong lifted the curtain and entered the door, he touched Xiao Xiaotao's head with lightning speed, and after he succeeded, he didn't give Xiao Xiao Tao any time to react, and in a flash, he followed Sheng Hong into the house.

At this time, Xiao Minglan just poked her head out of Sheng Hong's shoulder, saw the scene of Wei Chen bullying her playmate, clenched her fists in anger, and glared at Wei Chen fiercely.

It wasn't until Wei Chen's attention was withdrawn from Xiao Tao that she retracted her head, pressed against her father's chest, and muttered angrily: "Big villain!" ”
