The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Feng said, "I have told the people in the dining hall that my fifth brother and his wife from my hometown are here, so I will welcome them. I will not be going to the dining hall for dinner today."

Suiying looked at the two people and found them to be ordinary people, so he went back to report, "My Lord, it is true that someone from the young master's hometown has come, the fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law, and he is welcoming them."

"How is their relationship?"

Suiying said, "It must be good. The young master was drinking with the fifth brother, and the young mistress was diligently serving food to the two men, just like they were her own big brother."

Wan Lianxing asked, "He's still drinking?"

Suiying said, "They drank quite a bit. The young master and Fifth Brother drank two pots of the best wine."

Wan Lianxing said, "Usually I ask him to drink with me depending on his mood. Who is coming today?"

Suiying said, "They are just two ordinary people. Do you want to call the young master to ask them?"

Wan Lianxing said, "No need. I just want to know who is coming from my hometown and what kind of people he associates with."

Suiying said: "He is not a bad person."

Wan Lianxing said: "It's ok as long as he's not a bad person, let's eat."

Ge Dongqing said: "Brother is really worried about Cheng Feng."

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "We have only this one child in our Wan family. Without him, our Wan family will be completely childless. How can we feel at ease if we don't keep a close eye on him?"

"Cheng Feng is a good kid, he's reliable. He listened to you and bought a lot of shops recently. He's a businessman."

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I compare myself with. If I compare myself with Boss Qian, I'm far behind."

"That uncle of your Wan family, right?"

"Yes, that's him. He's about my age, but a few years older than me."

"I've heard of such a person, but I've never seen him."

"I am staying with my wife in the prefect's mansion. My niece Wan Baiqian is pregnant and can't go out. Otherwise, my niece could come with me to Mochun County to stay for a while."

Ge Dongqing said: "Oh, that's a bit squeamish, how many babies are you having?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "First child. Everything about our Wan family is good except that there are few people. There are only a few men and women with the surname Wan. You can count them on one hand. Fortunately, there is someone to carry on the family business. Otherwise, we don't know what the family name will be in the future."

Ge Dongqing said: "What's there to be afraid of this time? If we can find a few more marriages for the young master, the Wan family will be prosperous."

Wan Lianxing chuckled, "My dear brother, you are right. I think so too. If we want our family to prosper from generation to generation, we need many children and grandchildren. We can't count on Cheng Feng, who is afraid of his wife. We have to rely on Cheng Youning to carry on the family line."

In Cheng Feng's courtyard, he and his fifth brother ate from noon to afternoon. After lunch, his fifth brother slept from dawn to dusk, and when he opened his eyes, it was the next day.

He came to knock on Cheng Feng's door early and made arrangements to go to the city for a visit.

The two people were sleeping soundly on the bed. When they heard the sound, they both opened their eyes. Shang Xi opened her eyes in a daze, "Did someone call you?"

Cheng Feng patted him and said, "Get up, Fifth Brother is here."

Shang Xi shook her head and said, "If you want to get up, you should get up. I can't get up. It's too early. I'm still sleepy."

Cheng Feng said, "Fifth sister-in-law is here too, you should get up too."

Shang Xi pricked up her ears and listened in a daze, "You must be lying, I didn't hear anything."

Cheng Feng said: "Listen, they are whispering to each other. If you don't get up, they will have to go back."

Shang Xi had no choice but to get up with Cheng Feng. When she went out, she saw that it was indeed the couple. "Fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law, why are you two up so early?"

"I went to bed too early yesterday. It's already this time when I woke up. But it's time to get up. I see a lot of people in this mansion are up. Some are walking around with swords on their waists. Is there something wrong?"

Cheng Feng yawned and said, "Fifth brother, nothing happened. Those are the guards who are watching over the house. There are people patrolling like this day and night. They are protecting the safety of the entire mansion."

The fifth brother said, "I told you, your fifth sister-in-law and I shouldn't stay here. There's no way we can stay in this yard."

Cheng Feng said, "Let's talk inside."

"No, let's go to the street and look at the shops."

"There aren't many people on the street right now. It's a little early to go out now."

The fifth brother said, "Let's go now and stay in the mansion. I'm worried about running into the Marquis. The Marquis should not be awake at this time. Let's leave quickly while he's still asleep."

Cheng Feng said, "We can't run into him. If he comes out, you can see him from a distance. He is always followed by people, so he is very conspicuous. Besides, what can we do if we run into him? He doesn't eat people. Logically, we should go to my uncle's place and have a few words with him. Yesterday, he asked Suiying to come over to ask about it because he knew that someone was coming from my hometown."

The fifth brother waved his hands repeatedly, "I dare not meet a big shot like your uncle. What can I say if I meet him? Your fifth sister-in-law and I don't understand the rules of the officialdom. We didn't bring him anything rare this time. We can only say a few words. Wouldn't we be rejected if we meet him? Even if we want to meet him, such a big shot is willing to meet us. Even if we want to curry favor with him, he will have to consider who we are. People like your fifth sister-in-law will be disgusted when they see us. Go away, go away, go to the street and hide."

Cheng Feng was amused by the nervous look of his fifth brother, "Oh, my uncle is not the person you said he was."

Shang Xi said, "Cheng Feng, don't make things difficult for Brother Wu and Sister-in-law Wu. Now that everyone is up, let's go out for a walk and see if there is any breakfast on the street for us to eat."

Cheng Feng thought about it and it made sense. It was a rare opportunity to get up so early, so he might as well go out. So the four of them left the house and walked onto the dilapidated street.

The fifth brother said, "Why do you say there are no people on the streets? There are people everywhere, lots of them. I didn't see so many people when I entered the city yesterday."

Cheng Feng said, "Fifth brother, those are the people who went to repair the water conservancy project. They are at the construction site during the day. You can only see them during the morning, evening and noon breaks, but it's not common. So many people went out on the street today, I guess they came out to buy things."

The fifth brother said, "If we had these people, we wouldn't have to worry about opening a noodle shop."

Cheng Feng smiled: "Fifth brother, they provide food on the construction site, three meals a day."

The fifth brother said, "Are these people so rich?"

Cheng Feng said, "There is no money. I only get a few copper coins a day, and I only get two taels of silver after working for a whole year."

The fifth brother pointed to the distance and said, "Look, they are eating buns. Who can eat buns without money? They buy two at a time."
