1364 Tea Ceremony



It was complicated.

Old Master Nan looked at Nan Hua and sighed. "This war is not your responsibility alone, Hua'er. Don't force yourself to do everything by yourself, ok?"

There were a lot of people who participated in this war and Old Master Nan didn't want to see his granddaughter exhausted. She's very capable, he had to admit that. But in the end, she's just one person.

What a person could do is limited. He didn't want her to focus all her energy in this war and forgot about everything else.

There were many things to do in her life.

Since she didn't stand on the limelight, it was easier for her to leave and have a completely different life. She didn't have to be the one to bear the responsibility and burden for this large war.

He didn't want her to be the one either.

It's tiring.

And there were too many people who were involved and so many people's interest intertwined together. It was really messy.

"I know, Grandpa." Nan Hua nodded calmly.

"Have rest for today. And don't get close to your older cousin's room. It's estimated that he will be very noisy today." Old Master Nan's martial arts was better than Nan Hua. He could faintly hear some annoying sound from his eldest grandson's room.

"I won't." Nan Hua's lips twitched slightly. Did she look like someone who liked to peek on other people's business?

Old Master Nan laughed. "If you ever feel tired, come and accompany me, Hua'er."

Nan Hua's eyes flickered. For the time being, Old Master Nan was stationed in Yi City in the Central Region. There were many officials there, working to their limit to ensure that the people would be peacefully following Fei Yang Kingdom.

After all, it was not easy to completely conquer the people through war. There will still be resentment left and some rebellions could rise if it was not taken care properly.

Because of that, Old Master Nan's presence could deter them. He didn't even have to do anything and only need to show his face and many people would willingly submit. That was because of his prestige as the Great General of Fei Yang Kingdom.

A prestige built by his entire life achievement.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Nan Si Qiao was instructing her servants to clean up and watched her father and niece talked. She showed a wry smile on her face but didn't disturb her. A married daughter is like a water thrown away. She definitely couldn't be so close to her father anymore.

However, she will still have some interaction from time to time.

After all, they are still family.

…

The night passed quietly.

When it was morning, Feng Ao Si looked at the ceiling in front of him suspiciously. It was only when he felt the softness beside him that he realized what happened yesterday. His ears reddened when he thought about it.

Not wanting to embarrass himself so early in the morning, Feng Ao Si forced himself to push the thought to the back of his mind.

'It's still early.'

Moving out of the bed, Feng Ao Si dressed by himself. Because of his experience in the military, he didn't really like to be attended by servants all the time. It would make him slower when it was necessary to be quick and fast.

Glancing at the sleeping Sheng Qi Rou on the bed, Feng Ao Si's gaze softened. From now on, he also had someone who will spend the rest of her life with him. At the same time, he had to protect her so that they will be able to live well together.

There will be more responsibility for him to bear.

"Mhm…"

Hearing the soft murmur from Sheng Qi Rou, Feng Ao Si walked closer. "You're awake, Rou'er?"

"Mhm…" Sheng Qi Rou blinked her eyes, trying to get used with the light. Seeing Feng Ao Si's face in front of her, she was stunned for a moment before remembering that she's now a married woman. Her face turned red. "Yeah, turn around. I want to get dressed."

"Ah." Feng Ao Si obediently turned around, but he could still hear the rustling behind him.

His ears turned red.

After tasting her softness, he had the feeling it would be impossible for him to return to the days when he was single again. There was no way he wouldn't miss this….

*cough*

"I'm done." Sheng Qi Rou smiled.

Feng Ao Si turned around and nodded. "Let's go meet my parents for tea ceremony. Are there tea ceremony in the village too?"

"No. We normally don't have anything like that." Sheng Qi Rou smiled bitterly. The marriage ceremony in the village was much simpler. There was no need for the tea ceremony where she gave tea to her parents in law.

But then again, the man she married is a noble.

She will learn how to adapt well.

"Don't worry, my father doesn't usually come back and my grandfather is from my mother's side." Feng Ao Si thought of his grandfather from Feng Family and frowned. He forgot about that person.

Last time he heard about his grandfather's news was when there was war in Wind City.

And then…

He forgot.

"Is there anything?" Sheng Qi Rou asked when she saw Feng Ao Si's expression.

"It's fine. There are only a few cousins whom I have good relationship with. Aside from them, you don't have to pay attention to the others." Feng Ao Si couldn't even remember his other cousins from Feng Family.

If his cousins knew what he was thinking, they would have vomit blood.

But then again, with Feng Ao Si's intelligence, was it even possible for him to pay attention to them in the first place?

"Okay." Sheng Qi Rou guessed that the family relationship might not be simple. But thinking of Feng Ao Si's simple and childish personality, he might just be straightforward with them and just not get close.

After all, he was truly not the scheming type.

"My family is just me and my brother. I know you have good relationship with my brother, so I'm not worried in this side."

"Yeah."
