The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing said, "Your uncle Ge and I are just hanging out. Go ahead and do your work. We are leaving now."

The two of them strolled here and there, and unknowingly came to Hong Zhekai's place. Wan Lianxing turned around and wanted to leave.

Ge Dongqing pulled Wan Lianxing and said, "Brother, let's go and take a look. I've only been away for a few days, and the pond has already been dug so big."

Wan Lianxing said, "You've only just finished this. Even if you were away for a year, they still wouldn't be able to finish this work."

Ge Dongqing said, "Are you short of manpower? I'll go out again and recruit some people for Hong Zhekai."

Wan Lianxing said: "This is a big project. It can be completed in two to three years at the fastest, or three to five years, or even ten to eight years."

Ge Dongqing said: "Brother, what you said makes sense. Building water conservancy projects is a huge project that costs a lot of money and labor. Only you have the ability to build water conservancy projects. Looking at the entire Dalang Kingdom, there is no one else like you who dares to spend a lot of money to benefit the people."

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "You are the only one who has a good mouth."

Ge Dongqing said: "Big brother and I are of the same mind, so he is not annoyed by anything I say."

The two chatted and laughed until they reached the pond. Hong Zhekai saw Wan Lianxing approaching first, "My Lord, Mr. Ge."

Wan Lianxing said: "How is it, are there enough people?"

"We have enough manpower, but..."

"Just say it straight?"

"My Lord, I want to see my son?"

Wan Lianxing said, "I chose you because you have some talent. Otherwise, I would have given up on you long ago because you only care about your romantic affairs."

Hong Zhekai said: "My wife at home misses her son. Can my son come home for dinner so that they can meet each other?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Unfortunately, it's not that I, Wan Lianxing, don't want my grandson to meet you, it's really inconvenient. He went back to the governor's mansion with his brother Cheng Youning and has been gone for a few days."

"What... Lord, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Wan Lianxing said: "You should consider the consequences of your words. I didn't mean it, I did it on purpose."

"you……"

"What you should do is to do the job well and manage the water, and then come to negotiate with me. What do you have to negotiate with me now? All you have done is dig a pit here and build a canal there. You have done these and you have the courage to come and bargain with me? Do you think I can agree to your offer?"

"So when can you let me see my son?"

Wan Lianxing said: "I originally let you see me casually, but you didn't cherish me and insisted on arguing with me. Don't forget that I, Wan Lianxing, also have a temper."

Hong Zhekai said, "I didn't say anything to you the last time we met, did I?"

Wan Lianxing said: "You didn't say anything about me. It's just that I am willing to raise grandchildren for others. I am cheap."

Hong Zhekai knew he was in the wrong, so he changed his attitude for the sake of his son, "Then tell me, Lord Marquis, when can I see my son at will?"

Wan Lianxing said: "First, make sure that Mochun County does not lack water, and I will let you and your son meet at will."

Hong Zhekai said, "You can't change your mind this time."

Wan Lianxing snorted and laughed, "When have I ever said that my words don't count? I won't say anything anymore."

Hong Zhekai cursed Wan Lianxing in his heart. Wan Lianxing always kept his word and did not say what he meant. He was so fickle and annoying. However, this was not the time for a head-on confrontation. "Then let Mr. Ge testify for us. As long as the water reaches Mochun County, the Marquis must let me see my son." Hong Zhekai knew that within a year, the water problem in Mochun County would be solved.

Wan Lianxing responded very generously: "It's a deal."

"Then when can my son Yunrang go home?"

Wan Lianxing said, "You're asking for more, right? Wait until you finish all the work."

"How can that be possible? I have been doing this job for three to five years, and my son Yunrang will soon be old enough to start a family and build a career. How can I let him live out in the world?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Put all your thoughts on water conservancy. Hong Yunrang is my grandson. I will personally take care of his marriage and children. Don't worry about it."

Hong Zhekai said: "You are a bachelor yourself, and you are so kind as to help my son find a wife and have children."

Wan Lianxing gnashed his teeth and said, "You should be thankful that you are still of some use to me. Otherwise, if you hadn't been showing off in front of me again and again, I would have put you in the coffin long ago."

Ge Dongqing immediately stepped out to smooth things over, "Hong Zhekai, you're really going too far."

Hong Zhekai's eyes were red with anger, "He has been scolding me for a long time but you didn't stand up, and I went too far with just one sentence. Hong Yunrang is the eldest son of my Hong family, and he snatched him away alive. If it were you, you would have to dig up his ancestors of the Wan family... Woo... Woo..." Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered by Ge Dongqing, who then dragged him to a secluded place nearby and let go of Hong Zhekai only when they reached a place with few people.

Ge Dongqing said: "You don't want to live, or you don't want your son to live. Going head-on with Wan Lianxing is just courting self-destruction, which is no different from seeking death."

"Wan Lianxing is not a human being. He snatched my son away and wouldn't let me see him. Now he's even more mean. He actually sent my son away. This means that we, father and son, will be separated forever."

Ge Dongqing said: "It's not as serious as you say. I drove the carriage all the way to the governor's mansion in Fengying City in one day."

"But he won't let me see him. He wants to take my son for himself."

"Wan Lianxing doesn't lack grandchildren, so how could he possibly take your son for himself? You're overthinking it."

Hong Zhekai said, "Am I overthinking? You've been living in his house, don't you know what his situation is?"

"What do you want me to understand?"

"He is already in his thirties and still unmarried. Don't you find it strange?"

Ge Dongqing said: "The Marquis has a fiancée, Zhong Siyu, the daughter of the Chief Secretary."

Hong Zhekai said, "Yes, he has kidnapped the daughter of Zuo Siyuanlang, Zhong Siyu, and brought her here more than half a year ago. Do you think they have any children?"

"So what? Wan Lianxing is a gentleman. They are still waiting to get married, so how can they have children?"

"Hmph, I think Wan Lianxing is not good enough. It is said that Mr. Zuo's daughter is naturally beautiful. If he were a normal man, he would have lost control long ago. I suspect that Wan Lianxing is not a man. Which normal man can have a face like his? All men would have improper thoughts when they see him."

Ge Dongqing's face was extremely bad. He and Wan Lianxing were sworn brothers. How could he calmly listen to people slandering Wan Lianxing like this? What's more, the people talking about Wan Lianxing's personal affairs. If this word got out, how would Wan Lianxing live?
