Chapter 336 Visiting the Prime Minister's Residence
Yi Mobao soon met Prime Minister Shen and Wang.
Before meeting Shen Xiang, Yi Mobao had heard many legendary stories about Shen Xiang, so in his imagination, Shen Xiang was an old man with a Taoist and immortal demeanor, with flowing beard and white hair.
However, when Yi Mobao saw Shen Xiang with his own eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Shen Xiangsheng is not ugly, but it is not difficult to tell from his old eyes and brows that he was definitely not a stunningly handsome man when he was young.
He has an ordinary appearance, average height, and even his clothing is not extravagant, but neat and decent.
Yi Mobao didn't think at all that the old man in front of him was the powerful Prime Minister Shen.
He was more like an old man setting up a stall on the street, and he would take out a palm-leaf fan to fan himself the next second.
On the other hand, Wang, who was standing next to Prime Minister Shen, was over fifty years old but still had a full head of black hair. Her face did not show many signs of aging, but rather looked mature and generous.
Especially her eyebrows and eyes, which were dark and bright. When she saw Yi Mobao, she smiled crookedly: "This must be the God of Yi Xiaoguo."
Yi Mobao performed the ceremony of a junior: "Madam Prime Minister, you don't have to be polite. You and the Prime Minister are both elders. Just call me by my name, Mobao."
"Young Master Mo." Shen Xiang spoke, his voice calm and composed, "Your sudden visit today is really disturbing. It's just that we, as parents, are worried about our child, and we really want to come and see how our son is doing in person."
"It's human nature, and I can naturally understand it." Yi Mobao said calmly.
Seeing Yi Mobao walking to the main seat while talking, Shen Xiang found that this kid was really interesting.
Yi Mobao is only five years old. Even though he is taller and stronger than other children of the same age, he is not a child after all.
He now climbed up to the main chair with some difficulty and sat down firmly, a mature and steady expression appearing on his childish face.
When Shen Xiang looked at this precious calligraphy, the figure of Ji Chilian appeared in his mind.
It's strange to say, the child in front of him has no similarities with Ji Chilian in appearance, but gives Shen Xiang a particularly similar feeling.
Yi Mobao followed the techniques Liuli had taught him and tried his best to act mature and steady.
As a result, Wang let out a light laugh.
Looking at Wang in confusion, Yi Mobao was puzzled: "What is the Prime Minister's wife laughing at?"
"It's nothing. I just feel that this is the first time I've seen the Little Country God, but I have a sense of déjà vu, as if I've seen him somewhere before." Wang looked forward and said meaningfully.
"Maybe I look like someone the Prime Minister's wife knew in the past?" Yi Mobao looked at Wang and found that from her facial features, he could tell that she was a gentle person by nature.
He had heard before that Wang was a gentle person who always helped the homeless.
Having a good impression of such a beautiful and kind person, Yi Mobao couldn't help but say a few more words to Wang.
"So, the little national god is actually very similar to a child I took care of in the past. He was still very young at that time, but for some reasons, his character was more mature than that of other children. None of my three children are as stubborn as that child, so I always pay more attention to him..."
Seeing Wang's eyes softened as she finished her speech, Yi Mobao thought, "Madam, are you talking about the children you rescued in the past?"
"...You can say that." Wang responded, but there was a look of loneliness in her eyes.
"Where is this child now?" Yi Mobao had never heard of anyone he looked like before, and for a moment he became somewhat interested in this person.
Wang was stumped by the question and looked at Prime Minister Shen with some embarrassment.
Shen Xiang had a blank expression throughout the whole process: "It's really unfortunate that this person is already dead."
"Dead?" Yi Mobao was surprised, and seeing Wang lowered her head, he immediately believed it, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was like this..."
Wang smiled slightly, with a bit of bitterness in her eyes: "It's okay. Little God, I wonder what the current situation of my son is? I heard that he was seriously injured, and I am really worried. I want to see his condition as soon as possible."
"He has gotten much better, but the next few days are critical. My mother needs to keep an eye on his condition, so he can't go home yet." Seeing Wang's face pale, Yi Mobao couldn't bear it, "If Prime Minister Shen and Madam are free, why don't you go and see Master Shen directly. His wound is recovering, and I think he must be in great pain. If you two can say a few words of comfort, maybe it will bring some comfort to Master Shen."
"In that case, I'll trouble Young Master Mo to lead the way." Shen Xiang said as he stood up from his seat.
Yi Mobao took a step ahead and did not notice the small movements of Shen Xiang and Wang Shi behind him.
Wang looked at Shen Xiang with a hint of reproach in her eyes: "You shouldn't have said that just now. The governor is still alive and well, why didn't you have any taboos at all and cursed him to death directly?"
"He himself doesn't have any taboos, so why should we have any taboos for him?" Shen Xiang said as a matter of course. Seeing that Wang was still cold-faced, he finally chose to compromise. "Ji Chilian is hated by everyone in the court, and Young Master Mo doesn't have a good impression of him. If you had said just now that you think Young Master Mo is similar to Ji Chilian, you would have been unwelcome for no reason."
Wang was not angry when Shen Xiang reminded her, but chuckled: "So in your opinion, the little national god and Ji Chilian are somewhat similar, right?"
After being exposed, Shen Xiang was not angry. He was silent for a moment and then said, "I think Young Master Mo is much better than Ji Chilian."
When Wang saw that Prime Minister Shen didn't want to continue this topic after he said this, a look of helplessness appeared in her eyes. She then concealed her emotions and followed Prime Minister Shen silently.
Yi Mobao brought Shen Xiang and Wang Shi all the way to Qinghui Garden where Shen Yaosi lived.
As soon as he entered Qinghui Garden, Yi Mobao could already hear a bustling and noisy sound coming from the direction of the front gate.
"Don't anyone stop me. I know my own body and I'm fine!"
Yi Mobao paused and turned to look at the couple behind him: "This seems to be Master Xiao Shen's voice."
"What has this kid done again?" Saying this, Shen Xiang pulled Wang together and quickened their pace, and followed Yi Mobao into the room at a trot.
As soon as Yi Mobao entered the room, he saw Shen Yaosi sitting up from the bed.
There was blue stubble on Shen Yaosi's chin, and he didn't look as neat as before. He had a sullen look on his face and tried to push away the servants who were trying to stop him.
