The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"My Lord, you are indeed very generous. Please have some tea."

At this time, Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong were playing in the yard, and a little girl was hiding behind the pillars and peeking at them.

"Young Master, that's your wife, right?"

Cheng Youning frowned and used the slingshot to draw something into the well. "No, it's not true. My mother said it was a childhood marriage."

"Then she will be your wife in the future."

"My mother said that no one can predict what will happen in the future."

"You don't like her?"

"Is she likable?"

Qiao Rong said, "It's very pretty."

Cheng Youning pouted and said unhappily, "It's so ugly."

"Ugly? I think she's pretty... This is the prettiest girl I've ever seen."

Cheng Youning said: "How can she be pretty? She is far inferior to Princess Zhuoyang."

"Is Princess Zhuoyang really as pretty as you say?"

Cheng Youning nodded: "She looks like a fairy, mainly because she looks at me. This slingshot was given to me by her. I don't know when I can see her again. I miss her so much."

"The person who can make the young master never forget her must be very beautiful. I think this young lady Chen Zi'e is beautiful enough."

"Huh, look at your eyes. You used to say that black bananas are pretty."

Qiao Rong said, "Sister Bajiao is pretty too... Young Master, is your wife going to come over and play with you?"

Cheng Youning used the slingshot to slam the slingshot against the edge of the well, "Your wife!"

"If you don't like to hear it, I won't say it. Why get angry? It will be terrible if you get angry and make yourself sick." Qiao Rong used her hands on Cheng Youning's chest to calm him down. "Don't be angry. I won't say it again."

The little girl Chen Zi'e was staring at them from afar. She found that the younger brother was quite fierce, so she shrank her neck and ran away.

After a while, someone came to call Cheng Youning: "Young Master, the elders are waiting for you in the hall."

"Is the meal ready?"

Qiao Rong said, "We should go to the young master to discuss something, not to have a meal. We should go to the dining hall to have a meal."

Cheng Youning had no choice but to put away the slingshot and go to the hall.

The elders in the hall were all there. Wan Lianxing waved to Cheng Youning and said, "Did you play with your sister Zi'e?"

Cheng Youning stood in the middle of the floor, his face tense, his eyes filled with disdain, "I'm a man, I don't play with girls."

"Oh, my great grandson was just playing with a slingshot. When will he grow into a man?"

"What do you want from me, little grandpa?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Give one of the things you have on you to your sister Zi'e."

Cheng Youning walked up to Chen Zi'e, grabbed a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Zi'e's pocket, then turned around and found a chair opposite and sat down.

The little girl Chen Zi'e looked at the thing in her hand at a loss. Her mother Xiang Qin also looked embarrassed after taking a look, "What?"

Wan Lianxing knew something was wrong when he saw the expressions of the mother and daughter. "What was given?"

Cheng Youning raised her little face, "Mint candy."

"Who asked you to give Chen Zi'e mint candy? I asked you to give him an object."

Cheng Youning looked at himself, took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Qiao Rong: "Give it to her."

Shang Xi leaned forward and said, "Did you see that?"

"what?"

"This child was deeply influenced by his grandfather. His grandfather gave Zhong Siyu a jade pendant, and he gave Chen Zi'e a jade pendant today."

Cheng Feng said: "This is a coincidence."

"I think it's exactly the same. Don't think of it as sending something away. It's a debt that you have to pay back in the future."

"What debt?"

Shang Xi said: "It's a debt of love. I want to see how they deal with it in the future."

The little girl Chen Zi'e accepted the jade pendant and took out a jade hairpin and gave it to Qiao Rong. This jade hairpin could only be worn when she turned fifteen and came of age. However, there were no valuable items in her family that could be exchanged, so she took out this jade hairpin. Her mother had given her some instructions in advance, so she did better than Cheng Youning.

Cheng Youning looked at the jade hairpin he had taken back, his eyes narrowed again, and he said sternly, "Send it back, I don't want it."

Chen Gongxiang looked at Wan Lianxing and asked, "My Lord, why is this happening?"

Cheng Youning said, "I have no hair, what's the point of giving me a jade hairpin? Where can I put it?"

As soon as Cheng Youning finished speaking, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Cheng Youning asked Qiao Rong: "Did I say something wrong?"

Qiao Rong whispered a few words in Cheng Youning's ear. Although he was unhappy, he did not ask for the return of the jade hairpin. Although he was young, he knew what face was.

After lunch, Cheng Youning prepared to leave.

Chen Gongxiang repeatedly asked him to stay, "My Lord, I will clean up a few rooms, you can stay here."

Wan Lianxing said, "Don't worry, County Magistrate Chen. I have already arranged a place for him to stay."

"where is it?"

"It's right in the county town."

"My Lord, if you are free tomorrow morning, I will take everyone around Mochun County."

"That's what I was thinking. I'll have to trouble County Magistrate Chen tomorrow."

After a few pleasantries, Wan Lianxing got on the carriage, which slowly left the door of County Magistrate Chen's home. Wan Lianxing raised his hand and used his fan to open the window. There were very few people on the street. Looking around, this was a desolate and dilapidated county town. The carriage went around several streets and arrived at the center of the county town, but there were still few small vendors to be seen. Wan Lianxing was amazed by what he saw along the way.

Cheng Youning also looked outside. He thought there would be some braised duck feet for sale, but there was nothing. He leaned against Qiao Rong in disappointment. Something poked him. "What is that?"

Qiao Rong reached out and took out the jade hairpin from his arms, "Young Master, this is it."

Cheng Youning's face immediately darkened when he saw the jade hairpin. He grabbed the hairpin and threw it out through the window.

"Hey, young master, you can't throw that thing away."

"Cheng Youning, what did you throw away?"

"Nothing?" Cheng Youning closed his eyes, leaned against Qiao Rong, and pretended nothing had happened.

Qiao Rong said: "It's the jade hairpin that Chen Zi'e gave me..."

Cheng Youning raised his hand and covered Qiao Rong's mouth to prevent him from speaking.

"parking."

At Wan Lianxing's command, everyone got out of the car to look for the jade hairpin. The white jade hairpin was found, but it had broken into two pieces.

Shang Xi said: "Either keep this thing and keep it well, or return it to its original owner. Why did you throw it away? Now it's broken."

"It's better to stop. I'm tired of watching it."

Shang Xi said, "You kid, Yu Zan has provoked you."

Wan Lianxing said, "It's a small matter. I'll find a craftsman to fix it later. Now get in the car."

Cheng Feng glanced at Cheng Youning's waist and asked, "Didn't you give this jade pendant to Chen Zi'e?"

After Cheng Feng said this, everyone noticed the jade pendant hanging around Cheng Youning's waist.

"Yes, didn't you give this jade pendant to Chen Zi'e for safekeeping? Why is it still on you?"

Cheng Youning said confidently: "Why should I send my things to her for safekeeping? It's not like I don't have hands."

Shang Xi said: "I just want to know how this thing got into your possession and who you asked to get it back."
