The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

Chapter 112 You want to learn kung fu?



Chapter 112 You want to learn kung fu?

Shen Cao never expected that this seemingly unreliable Crane Feather would have such lofty ambitions.

In the few months since Shen Cao transmigrated here, although she is located in Xin'an County, which is far from the capital, she can feel that the people of the entire Great Xia Kingdom are still very satisfied with the current emperor.

In particular, since the famine, the emperor has implemented many policies that benefit the people, which have not only enabled the people of the Great Xia Kingdom to recover quickly, but have also made the people in various places change from being disappointed with the emperor to having expectations for him.

Therefore, Shen Cao felt that the Great Xia Kingdom, whether it was the monarch, officials or ordinary people, had become exceptionally united since the famine ended.

"You guys didn't leave."

Shen Cao felt a little embarrassed that her angry words had been overheard by outsiders.

They must think they're incredibly naive, running a tiny eatery and daring to claim they want to take on Persia.

Ji Lingfeng never expected that Shen Cao, a seemingly frail woman, could utter such words.

The women he knew, like his sister, spent their days joking and playing around with a group of young ladies from wealthy families.

Although she could be considered a heroine, she was just using her family's resources to cause trouble.

For some reason, he always felt that Shen Cao's words didn't sound like a joke.

"If we leave, we won't be able to hear what Manager Shen has to say."

"The Shen family is truly a family of two outstanding individuals, with one being a student of Grand Tutor Zhou and the other a heroine among women."

“Miss Shen is right. That mere Persia, such a small place, dares to act arrogantly in the Great Xia Kingdom. We will deal with them sooner or later.”

“Miss Shen, although you were just saying it, I still thank you for your kind intentions on behalf of the soldiers in the barracks.”

Shen Cao felt a little embarrassed by what Ji Lingfeng said.

"Young Master Ji, you flatter me. I was just saying that."

"Having that kind of heart is already commendable."

"You're here for dinner, right?"

"Ah."

"What would you like to eat?" Shen Cao felt flustered under Ji Lingfeng's gaze, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed.

She quickly made an excuse to go to the kitchen.

The two ordered two bowls of oil-splashed noodles.

As soon as Shen Cao entered the kitchen, Shen Qing came running in, all excited.

He walked up to Shen Cao with a fawning expression, "Sister, aren't you going to cook for those two guests in the front hall?"

"Yes." Isn't that a rhetorical question?

"What's wrong with you?"

"Sister, do you know those two people?"

"I guess we know each other. My older brother helped them before."

"Really!"

Shen Cao was puzzled by her younger brother's behavior; why was Shen Qing inquiring about those two people?

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, say it quickly."

"Sister, what's the name of the person who just defeated those Persians?"

As Shen Qing asked, he gestured with his hands, demonstrating to Shen Cao how He Yu had fought before.

"I think her name is Tsuruha."

"Brother He's kung fu is really amazing. With just a push and a kick, I didn't even see it clearly, and those strong Persians were knocked down."

"Sister, if I knew kung fu, I could protect you."

Shen Cao finally understood her brother's intention. She walked up to Shen Qing and squinted at him.

"You want to learn kung fu?"

Shen Qing was afraid that his sister wouldn't want him to study, so he didn't dare to look at her and his eyes darted away.

Shen Cao pinched his chin with her hand and straightened his face.

"What? You don't even dare to tell your older sister what you're thinking?"

"I'm afraid my sister won't agree."

"Is my older sister that kind of person?"

Shen Qing's face lit up with joy. "So, Sister, you agree?"

"What do you mean you agree? You should explain your thoughts first."

“Sister, when my brother left, I told him that I wanted to learn kung fu and also wanted to join the army and go to the battlefield.”

"But my older brother told me that if I wanted to join the army, I had to go to school first, otherwise I would just be an illiterate nobody."

"They would have sacrificed themselves in vain on the battlefield."

"But seeing how Brother He subdued those people in just a few moves today has made my desire to learn kung fu even stronger."

"At that time, I could only hide behind you and my parents, watching helplessly as you were bullied by others."

"I also want to beat those people down in no time when they bully you, so they'll never dare to bully you again."

Shen Cao watched her younger brother's eyes grow brighter and brighter before gradually dimming.

She placed her hand on her younger brother's shoulder, saying, "My Qing'er has grown up and knows how to think about his family now."

"Your older sister supports you. Do whatever you want to do. We will support you just like we supported your older brother's studies."

"But there's one thing you need to remember: think about your family before you do anything."

"What you need to do is different from what your older brother does, so you need to take good care of yourself."

"Although it's too early to say these things, I want you to remember my words: don't be reckless, think before you act."

Shen Qing seemed to understand, but he realized that his older sister supported him learning kung fu.

He asked happily, "Sister, do you think Brother Baihe would agree if I became his disciple?"

Shen Cao shook her head. "Well, I'm not Brother He. You have to ask him yourself about this."

"What if Brother Yihe disagrees?"

"If he doesn't agree, you'll just give up learning kung fu?"

"Of course not."

"He disagreed, so you gave up?"

"This……"

Shen Cao pulled her younger brother into her arms and said, "Qing'er, many things in this world cannot be accomplished on the first try."

"Since you've made up your mind to learn kung fu and found a master you want to learn from."

"Then what you need to do is try to persuade him to become your mentor."

"If they disagree the first time, then try a few more times."

"Anyway, you won't lose anything."

"Life is about constantly trying and never giving up."

"Just like how you tried to win over Li Xiaoyu?"

"Forehead……"

"Although, it doesn't seem to be any different."

Shen Qing thought about what Li Xiaoyu had recently told him and nodded.

He realized that as long as he was thick-skinned and asked a few more times, she would eventually agree.

Li Xiaoyu was so embarrassed by her sister's pleas that she felt awkward coming to his house.

Shen Cao quickly prepared two bowls of oil-splashed noodles, and Shen Qing eagerly picked up one of them.

"Sister, I'll take this bowl. I want to personally serve it to my future master."

Shen Cao smiled and handed the plate to her younger brother. Not bad, he does have some of her features.

She followed behind her younger brother, watching his cautious figure, and sighed inwardly. The little brother who used to follow her around all day with a runny nose and only knew how to eat delicious food had unknowingly grown into the rudiments of a man.
