The next morning, Yun Shang got up early. After getting dressed she asked Qin Yi, "Has grandfather been up?"
Qin Yi nodded and smiled, "Yes. His lordship seems to be in a good mood today. He is fishing by the lake. There is mainly koi fish in the lake. When I went there earlier, seeing his lordship caught them and then put them back into the lake."
Hearing it, Yun Shang got interested. "Let's go and have a look."
Outside the door, Yun Shang turned to Qin Yi, "Send a message to the seventh prince's mansion later afternoon. Ask the seventh princess to come to our mansion, and tell her..." Yun Shang thought for a while and said casually, "Tell her that I have some new stuff. I'll invite her to have a look."
Qin Yi replied in a low voice. Then Yun Shang walked slowly towards the lake. There was a long corridor along the lake, and occasionally there were some arbors for rest. Xiao Yuanshan sat on a bench in the long corridor beside a arbor, holding a fishing pole in his hand, and his butler stood next to him, watching the scene with a smile.
Yun Shang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Grandfather, you seem very happy. Did you have a good rest last night?"
Xiao Yuanshan looked at Yun Shang and smiled. "You seldom get up so early. I slept well. I can sleep anywhere as long there is a bed." The butler said with a smile, "I still remember the time when you stayed in the mansion. Although you have to learn a lot every day, you still stayed in bed until it was almost noon."
Yun Shang pouted as she was teased by them. "It's been a long time since the last time we met. How could grandpa and uncle make fun of me?"
Xiao Yuanshan and the butler burst into laughter.
Yun Shang walked to the pavilion and sat down. Seeing the cork on the fish line moving, she said quickly, "We got it."
Xiao Yuanshan cast a glance at Yun Shang and lift the pole up. There was indeed a small red koi fish on it. "How noisy you are! You've scared the big fish away."
Yun Shang stuck out her tongue and grinned. "I heard that father asked grandfather to teach Chenxi. How is Chenxi doing? Can he read now? "
Xiao Yuanshan remained silent. But the butler couldn't help laughing. "Prince Chenxi is only one years old. How could he read now? But, he is smart and learns speaking very fast."
Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "That's for sure. My grandfather is a learned scholar, and his grandchild is certainly intelligent."
"I've never seen anyone boast himself like you." Xiao Yuanshan hung a small part of earthworms on the hook, fixing his eyes on the surface of the water and about to throw the line.
"I'm praising Chenxi. I don't know when I can meet him and what he looks like." Yun Shang let out a light sign.
