The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 655: Planting Flowers and Grass

This was the first time Huang Chenming met Wan Lianxing. Before he could even say hello, this man got angry. And this anger was caused by him. The reason for his anger was inexplicable. Just like the rumors, this man really had a bad temper.

Master Wan quickly stepped forward to stop Wan Lianxing from getting angry, "Lianxing, you misunderstood. This is Huang Chenming who was invited to help you. His father and I are old friends. According to seniority, Chenming is our nephew."

Wan Lianxing's face turned from black to white. He gradually calmed down, then smiled a little and said, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Did I scare you?"

Huang Chenming shook his head.

Wan Lianxing tried to ease the embarrassment, and thinking of what everyone said about Huang Chenming being a capable person, he started to talk for fun: "Chenming, what are you doing?"

Huang Chenming said: "Take the students and pave the road."

Wan Lianxing said, "You are Youning's master."

Huang Chenming said: "Chenming is not talented, that's right."

Wan Lianxing turned around and asked Sui Ming, "Is there no one in the mansion? How can we let Chen Ming do this road paving work?"

Cangman was quick-witted and knew a lot, so he quickly said, "It's not his fate. Chenming just likes to do repairs, plant flowers and grass, and even make tea when he's tired. He can't be stopped from doing it."

Wan Lianxing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Planting flowers and grass, repairing fences and brewing tea are such elegant hobbies. I also like these. So we can be said to have the same interests... Old housekeeper, did we bring back a lot of tea from Chaizhou?"

The old butler smiled and said, "Yes, sir."

Wan Lianxing said, "Find some and send them to Chen Ming."

Wan Lianxing was indeed tired, and he even put his hand on Cheng Feng's arm.

Chen Ming said, "Thank you, Lord. You must be tired from the journey. Please take a rest now."

Wan Lianxing nodded and walked along the road paved with white stones by Huang Chenming. There was quartz scattered in the cracks between the stones. The road was indeed paved well.

After they walked away, Wan Lianxing whispered to Cheng Feng, "Why does he look at me like that? This man can't just leave because of my first two sentences."

Cheng Feng said: "He is not that stingy, he has a big heart."

Wan Lianxing said: "I hope so. Now is the time to recruit talents. The more capable people we have, the better."

Cheng Feng comforted him, "My father and brother-in-law will do their best to speak well of you and keep the person here."

Wan Lianxing said, "Is this man really capable?"

Cheng Feng said: "The one who gave advice to the prefect of Nancheng in the past is the prefect's adviser, so he must have the ability."

Wan Lianxing asked, "So what's the situation with the prefect now?"

Cheng Feng said: "Dead, I told you about this before."

Wan Lianxing said: "It doesn't matter whether it was said or not. How did this person die?"

Cheng Feng said: "He committed many evil things and was caught by Boss Qian's people."

Wan Lianxing: "What was Huang Chenming doing at that time?"

Cheng Feng said: "He chased us and stabbed my father in the shoulder, and then we tied him up."

Wan Lianxing slapped his head and said, "I remember now, the man who chopped my eldest brother was him. Can I use him?"

Cheng Feng said: "He is quite good, very intelligent, well-informed, and most importantly, he has a peaceful personality. With your temper, you should have someone like him by your side."

Wan Lianxing said, "He doesn't look very old."

Cheng Feng said: "One year older than me."

Wan Lianxing said, "He is too young. I will give him a try. If he has no ability, I will send him away. What's the point of having a monk by my side?"

Cheng Feng chuckled, "He can also tell the future."

Wan Lianxing said, "I just can't accept this. You don't believe in fate but believe in these things that are made up out of nothing. It's all deceiving. You are the only child of our Wan family. You must not believe in these fictitious things."

Cheng Feng smiled and nodded.

Huang Chenming, who had not provoked anyone, did his job well, but was scolded by Wan Lianxing who came into the yard. Everyone felt a little embarrassed.

Master Wan took his hand and wanted to sit down and have a good chat with him. Seeing the two elderly people so tired, Huang Chenming said, "Uncle Wan, Aunt Wan, this journey must have been very hard. Let's have a long chat after you have rested."

Master Wan said, "Lian Xing was upset after seeing the rampant robbers along the way. In addition, the drought caused the local officials to do nothing, forcing the people to move the city god out to dry. Lian Xing did not understand the local customs and could not accept it for a while. He was a little angry, so he spoke inappropriately when he saw you just now. Chen Ming, don't mind it. Lian Xing is a donkey. It's okay to stroke his hair. You will understand when you work together in the future."

Huang Chenming smiled and said, "I don't take it to heart. You and your aunt should go and have a rest."

Madam Wan said, "Chen Ming, I'm glad you're not angry. I'll go and teach him a lesson in a moment."

Boss Qian said to Master Wan and Madam Wan, "You two should go and have a rest. Chen Ming and I have something to say."

In fact, everyone was afraid that Chen Ming would run away halfway. Chen Ming also knew what everyone was thinking, but unfortunately he still couldn't figure out Wan Lianxing's temper, and didn't know if he could stay here for a long time.

Huang Chenming said: "If Boss Qian is tired, go and have a rest. You don't have to accompany me."

As he spoke, Huang Chenming grabbed two handfuls of quartz and sprinkled them into the cracks between the stones.

Boss Qian squatted on the ground and said distressedly: "This is quartz, and you just ruined it like this."

Huang Chenming said: "I asked the people here, this thing is suitable for paving the road."

Boss Qian said, "Why not use something else to pave the road? Stop using quartz. Save the quartz."

Huang Chenming smiled and said, "This is white stone. These small particles embedded in the cracks of the stone look beautiful."

Boss Qian said, "The black stone road surface is good, why did you go to the trouble of changing it to white stone?"

Chen Ming said, "The prefect's mansion has been renovated, so I helped repair the road surface. I have nothing to do anyway. Don't you think this road paved with white stones looks nice?"

Boss Qian said, "Aren't you tired?"

Huang Chenming said: "I'm not tired."

Boss Qian said, "I'm not worried that you'll get tired, I just feel bad for the quartz."

Huang Chenming said: "It seems that Boss Qian found a business opportunity when he first arrived in Fengying."

Boss Qian twisted the quartz in his hand and said, "You will know later."

Boss Qian placed all his hopes on Shang Xi. At this time, Shang Xi was having a headache because her son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was crying endlessly for some reason.

Shang Xi took the washed face cloth brought by a servant and wiped Cheng Youning's face and hands.

"Baby, why are your hands so dirty?"

“Ahhh… I was paving the way for you, ahhh…”

"Don't cry for now. You're about to shatter my eardrums. My ears have only been working properly for less than a year. If you deafen me, I won't be able to hear you even if you call me in the future."
