The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Feng said: "Shang Xi will carefully design the ironworks where you make iron every night, but she has never seen an ironworks, so it will take some more time."

Cheng Feng knew very well that the reason why Wan Lianxing did not leave here was because of the lack of iron ore.

Wan Lianxing said, "No hurry. I don't mean to rush her. Her ability to smelt iron has exceeded my expectations. I won't force her. I just think it's not the right time to go back."

Cheng Feng said, "Uncle, the two cities are not far apart. If we set out before dawn and ride as fast as we can, we can reach the prefect's mansion by nightfall. If you want to come, we can come again. Shang Xi and I miss our children, and Cheng Youning misses you, uncle, too. If we can't see you again, the children will be annoying at home. Uncle, let's go back. We can come again when we want to."

Wan Lianxing couldn't stand Cheng Feng's discussion, and when he heard that Cheng Youning missed him, he agreed, "I'll listen to you. You make the arrangements, but don't inform Chen Gongxiang and Hong Zhe. You go there in person and tell them that I'm going back to the prefect's mansion."

Cheng Feng agreed.

He first went to Chen Gongxiang's place. At this time, Chen Gongxiang's entire family was there. The mansion was very deserted because there were only a few people and servants. If the yamen runners were not seen, this would have been a very quiet family.

The family of three came out to greet Cheng Feng. Chen Gongxiang walked in front, and his wife Xiangqin and their daughter Chen Zi'e walked behind.

Chen Gongxiang was very enthusiastic: "Mr. Cheng, how come you have time to come to my house today?"

Cheng Feng smiled and greeted a few people, "My uncle sent me here."

Chen Gongxiang looked at the setting sun and said, "Is there something going on?"

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "It's not a big deal."

"Go inside and talk."

Cheng Feng was invited into the house and only had the chance to speak after tea was served to him.

Chen Gongxiang said, "My Lord has sent you to my house at this hour. What advice do you have for me?"

Cheng Feng said, "Mr. Chen, it's nothing serious. My uncle sent me here to tell you that most of the things here have been dealt with. The rest will be handed over to you and Mr. Hong Zhekaihong. My uncle will return to the prefect's mansion tomorrow."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'll go with you to the mansion to see the Marquis and ask him if he has any unspeakable secrets."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, County Magistrate Chen. My uncle is busy with official business at home and has no intention of seeing guests. After drinking this cup of tea, I will go to Hong's house."

Chen Gongxiang said: "Your Majesty, you didn't even give me a chance to meet you. I must at least give you some wine and food to meet you."

Cheng Feng said, "This Fengying City is only a day's journey from Mochun County. My uncle may come over at any time. It won't be too late for you to have a drink and chat then."

"Mr. Cheng has a point."

At this time, Chen Zi'e bravely ran in and said, "Uncle Cheng, why didn't my brother come today?"

Cheng Feng smiled. It was no wonder that Shang Xi said that the child was lovable. The chubby baby fat gave him a lucky look. Most importantly, the child was well-behaved and obviously more obedient than Cheng Youning.

"Your brother was sent back to the prefect's residence some time ago."

"When can I see my brother again?"

Cheng Feng said: "Maybe he will come at any time, but if you want to see your brother, you can ask your father to take you to the prefectural governor's mansion, there are many places your brother likes to play."

Chen Zi'e asked, "Isn't the prefectural government far away?"

Cheng Feng said, "It's not far. If you take a carriage and leave now, you will reach the prefect's mansion before dawn."

Chen Zi'e wanted to ask something else, but was chased away by Chen Gongxiang. He said to Cheng Feng: "My daughter has not seen anyone casually since she was eight years old. It's just that she has a connection with your little master. When she saw you coming, she wanted to ask about your little master."

Cheng Feng knew what Chen Gongxiang meant. He was saying that his daughter was very strict in observing the rules of the boudoir and would not come out to meet outsiders. It was an accident that she came to see him just now. These rules were observed by wealthy families. Cheng Feng grew up in the countryside and did not take these rules seriously. To use Shang Xi's words, these rules were corrupt. He felt that Shang Xi was right.

After all, Chen Gongxiang and he were relatives, so he was a little more polite when he spoke: "Cheng Youning was naughty and I sent him back to the prefect's mansion, otherwise we should really let these two children play together more. Your daughter has a good temper, Cheng Youning should really learn from her."

"Oh, that's wrong. There are ways to raise boys and girls. Girls like to be quiet, while boys like to be active. Your Wan family is martial. If Cheng Youning doesn't act naughty, how can he be lively in the future?"

Cheng Feng laughed when he heard this. How could others know that Cheng Youning had such skills as fast as a dragon and as fast as lightning? Even his young and strong father could hardly handle him. If he didn't manage the household strictly and continued to be idle, he would definitely be a worry in the future.

Cheng Feng didn't stay long. After drinking a cup of tea, he went to Hong Zhekai's house.

He and Hong Zhekai had only met formally twice, and today was the second time. Their two families were now in-laws, and they were very warm when they met. At a glance, the house here was bigger than Chen Gongxiang's, and the popularity was much greater than Chen Gongxiang's. Hong Zhekai was quite fertile. When Cheng Feng entered the yard, he saw a fat little boy who shouted when he saw Cheng Feng, "Sister's father-in-law is here, sister's father-in-law is here..."

A maid was chasing behind, and the child was running for his life in front. As he ran, he ran to Hong Zhekai's side and bumped into his leg without knowing how hard he was hitting it. Hong Zhekai took two steps back and said, "Cong'er, we have guests at home, don't be rude."

The child said: "He has been here before. I recognize him. He is my sister's father-in-law."

The last time he came, the kid didn't show up, and he didn't know how he recognized him. Although Hong Zhekai felt that the kid's behavior made him lose face, he couldn't do anything about it. "Who taught you all this? You're so rude."

Hong Zhekai felt ashamed, as if he was eager to get close to the Wan family.

The child was unscrupulous, "I'll remember what the maids said."

"This is the father-in-law of your sister's future husband's family. You have to call him uncle now. Hurry up and call him."

It was a bit early to call him father-in-law, which made Cheng Feng, a 25-year-old, a little dazed.

The child refused to shout but walked to Cheng Feng and touched the jade pendant on his waist. Cheng Feng had no choice but to take off the jade pendant and give it to the child.

Hong Zhekai said, "That's impossible."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "If he likes it, just play with him."

When I wanted Hong Yuncong to return the jade pendant, the kid had already run away.

Hong Zhe said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Cheng."

Cheng Feng said: "All children are naughty, and my son is even naughtier than him."
