The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"The person is in the hands of the Marquis, so he has to obey you in everything. Marquis, please come with me to the scene to take a look."

Wan Lianxing said, "It's just digging a ditch, it's full of smoke and dirt, what's so good about it?"

Chen Gongxiang said, "Look at how well everyone is doing."

Wan Lianxing said, "With three copper coins in my pocket every day, I can definitely do a good job. Besides, there are a circle of yamen runners watching with whips."

"Then Lord Marquis, please come with me to take a look. Everyone can see that Lord Marquis is very motivated."

Wan Lianxing said, "Why aren't you speaking as straightforwardly as before? You've also learned to flatter others. This is not good. You have to change this bad habit for me."

Chen Gongxiang chuckled, "My Lord, I just want you to go and see the scene in person."

"Then wait for me for a moment. I'll change my clothes and go out with you."

Cheng Youning, who was lying on the ground in the yard fighting crickets, saw Wan Lianxing dressed neatly and his eyes lit up: "Where are you going, little grandpa?"

"Aren't ditches and canals being dug in and around the city? Go and take a look, little grandpa."

Cheng Youning got up from the ground, brushed the dirt off his knees, and ran to Wan Lianxing, "I'm going too."

"What are you going to do? It's not fun there. There are too many people and the dust is flying everywhere. You should stay at home."

Cheng Youning hugged Wan Lianxing's thighs, raised his head and whimpered, "I don't care, I want to go. Since so many people came here to work, my grandson hasn't gone out for a few days."

"Why are you so good?"

"My grandson is afraid of meeting bad people."

Seeing Cheng Youning whining and refusing to let go, Wan Lianxing had no choice but to compromise, "Then let's go. Grandpa will take you out to meet some people today."

"Wait a minute, I'll go call my brother."

"Where did your brother go?"

"The little brother is reading in the house."

"Then go quickly. It's getting late. I won't wait for you kids."

When Cheng Youning heard this, he disappeared instantly. Chen Gongxiang rubbed his eyes and asked Wan Lianxing: "My Lord, is it because I am dazzled? How could your young master disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Wan Lianxing said: "You are just dazzled. Let's go and wait for them at the door."

Chen Gongxiang shook his head and followed Wan Lian.

"Little brother, little brother, we can go out today."

"Where are you going? I still have homework to do."

Cheng Youning reached out and snatched the book from Hong Yunrang's hand, and put it aside, "Grandpa wants to take us to see how the canal is dug."

When Hong Yunrang heard that it was Wan Lianxing who was taking them out, he hurriedly stood up and tidied his clothes and hair crown, "Let's go, brother."

As soon as the wheels of the carriage started turning, Cheng Youning was so happy that she could hardly sit still, but soon they arrived at their destination.

There were crowds of people working there. Wan Lianxing patted Hong Yunrang on the shoulder and said, "Yunrang, there are people waiting for you over there. Go over there."

"Little Grandpa, who is waiting for your grandson?"

Wan Lianxing said, "You will know when you go there."

Although Hong Yunrang had his doubts, he still walked past many people obediently. A man was holding a thick stack of drawings with his hands behind his back and talking to several people. Hong Yunrang couldn't believe his eyes, so he tried to shout, "Daddy."

Hong Zhekai turned around immediately, "Yoona?"

"Daddy." Hong Yunrang ran over and threw himself into Hong Zhekai's arms. His eyes suddenly turned red. "Daddy, why are you here?"

"Dad has been here since the day we started working. But Yoona, why are you here?"

Hong Yunrang said: "My little grandfather brought my brother and me here."

"Little grandpa?"

"Yes, it is the Marquis."

Hong Zhe was so angry, but he couldn't get angry. "Where are the others?"

Hong Yunrang pointed and said, "My grandfather, my husband, and County Magistrate Chen are there."

Hong Zhekai looked in the direction of Hong Yunrang's finger, and sure enough, Wan Lianxing was there, chatting and laughing with some workers.

When working under someone else, you have to abide by their rules. He said a few words to his son and took Hong Yunrang to meet Wan Lianxing and Chen Gongxiang.

"My Lord, Magistrate Chen, Mr. Huang."

Wan Lianxing looked at Hong Zhekai, who was in good spirits, and said, "How have I taken care of your son?"

"Thank you, sir, but I can take care of my son myself."

Wan Lianxing said, "Your mind is all on water conservancy, so how can you have time to take care of Yunrang? Look, it's only been a short time, Yunrang has grown taller, his body has become stronger, and most importantly, his thinking has broadened. So in order not to delay the child, I will take care of Yunrang for you first."

When it comes to snatching people, if Wan Lianxing claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first. No one is better than him. As long as he doesn't nod, Hong Zhekai can only look at this child. If he wants to take him home to raise him, it's impossible.

Hong Zhekai was not stupid. If the water conservancy project in Fengying was not completed, his son would not be able to return to him. "Then I'll trouble you to raise my son for me, My Lord." Hong Zhekai cursed in his heart, thinking that he had no son himself, but he insisted on raising someone else's son. What a mental patient.

Wan Lianxing also understood the hidden meaning of Hong Zhekai's words. How could he let him off? "My greatest hobby is to help others raise their sons. It is an incomparable enjoyment when the children call me little grandpa. Yunrang, come to little grandpa."

Hong Yunrang had no choice but to stand obediently beside Wan Lianxing.

Hong Zhekai was so angry that his face turned blue. He couldn't get any benefit from arguing with Wan Lianxing. He turned around and thought about going forward. If he couldn't afford to offend Wan Lianxing, could he not hide from him?

Chen Gongxiang grabbed Hong Zhekai and said, "Don't talk about this as soon as you two meet. Let's talk about business, the work at hand."

At this time, the sound of gongs was heard, which was very harsh. Wan Lianxing asked, "What's going on?"

"My Lord, it's time to eat."

"Oh?"

When everyone heard the gong, they dropped what they were doing and lined up one after another to wait for their meals.

"My Lord, my Lord——"

Wan Lianxing took a closer look and said, "Isn't this Erli?"

Erli held a large spoon in his hand and waved it towards Wan Lianxing. "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your care. County Magistrate Chen has arranged for me to work in the kitchen."

“Can you cook?”

"I was in charge of making fire in the military camp, but I learned how to cook just by watching."

It was really indecent to yell like that, so Wan Lianxing strode over. He mainly wanted to see what the jars of food were. "Potato stewed with potatoes?"

Erli said, "My Lord, this is roasted potatoes."

Wan Lianxing said: "Who set the standard of food allowance so low that everyone can only eat potatoes? There is no meat to be seen?"
