The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Give me ten ounces of change."

"Wait a moment, young master."

The shopkeeper wrote a few entries on the account book, and then asked Cheng Youning to sign his name on the back. After Cheng Youning wrote his name, the shopkeeper closed the account book and gave Cheng Youning ten taels of silver. Only after receiving the money did Cheng Youning get on the carriage contentedly.

Not long after, Cheng Feng and Shang Xi at the mansion received news from Manager Li of the incense shop.

Shang Xi said to Cheng Feng, "Did you hear that? Your son went out and took away ten taels of silver. Does this mean there is a problem?"

Cheng Feng said: "It shows that your son is not stupid. He knows to carry some money with him when he goes out."

Shang Xi rolled her eyes at Cheng Feng and asked, "Will he have a place to spend the money he brought to Qiao Rong's house?"

Cheng Feng said: "Why not? When we pass through the city, my son can eat some duck feet."

Shang Xi asked, "Can you spare ten taels of silver?"

Cheng Feng said: "Poor family, rich road, bring more."

Shang Xi said: "The reason why he dares to use money more and more is because you indulge him."

Cheng Feng said: "He just buys some snacks and has no other expenses. Just let him spend a few taels of silver every day."

Shang Xi said: "How much? It's easy to say, he won't be able to live like this in the future."

Cheng Feng said: "Don't you have some savings at home?"

Shang Xi said: "What can you do with that?"

Cheng Feng said: "You don't care about the family and don't know the family situation. We have a lot of savings, and Cheng Youning can't spend it all."

Shang Xi said: "Don't forget, he will have three wives to support in the future, and there will be many people he will need to support."

Cheng Feng said: "That can't be spent all."

Shang Xi paced back and forth on the ground, "No, I feel uneasy. I still need to earn more money."

Cheng Feng said: "Our family is making a fortune, why should we research? I am just opening a shop."

Shang Xi said: "In the future, when there are more people in the city, business here will be better. We should open a few more shops to do business."

Cheng Feng said: "There are only a few things we can sell. We don't know how to process other things, and the difference we make from buying from others is small."

Shang Xi said, "Think about it again."

At noon, Cheng Youning arrived at Qiaochun County and entered the city. Cheng Youning saw many stalls selling delicious food through the window, "Stop the car."

Qiao Rong said, "Master, what's the matter?"

Cheng Youning said, "I saw someone selling fried cakes."

Qiao Rong said, "Come to my house and eat. I'll ask my parents to make you something delicious."

Cheng Youning shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat boiled sweet potatoes."

Qiao Rong patted his waist bag awkwardly and said, "My family is much better off now. We have food to eat and can cook for the young master."

Cheng Youning shook his head and said, "Get off the car and go to your house after you're full."

Qiao Rong had no choice but to follow Cheng Youning, who went straight to the fried cakes. The two of them ate some snacks in the city before getting on the carriage again.

Qiao Rong's mother was spinning in the yard. When she saw the carriage stopped at the gate, she hurriedly got up.

Qiao Rong jumped off the carriage and called out, "Mom."

"Qiao Rong is back?" She raised her legs and ran towards the door, only then she saw Cheng Youning coming.

"The young master is here."

Cheng Youning said, "Meet Mrs. Hu."

"The Marquis didn't come, and Master Cheng and Madam Cheng didn't come either?"

Cheng Youning said, "My uncle and my parents were busy at home and couldn't leave. I was the only one free, so I followed Qiao Rong here."

"Then come inside."

Qiao Rong looked at her mother's flat belly and said in surprise, "Mom, you gave birth."

His mother smiled and said, "She was born a long time ago, and she's already a month old now."

Qiao Rong asked, "Is it a younger brother or a younger sister?"

His mother said happily, "It's my younger brother."

Qiao Rong said: "Why is it another younger brother?"

His mother said, "You don't like your brother."

Qiao Rong said disappointedly: "Didn't everyone say she was my sister?"

His mother said: "It's better to have a boy. Next year, our family can get more land."

Qiao Rong said: "The land doesn't produce any crops, just some fruits and vegetables. What's the point of dividing the land? It's better to have a sister."

His mother said, "Who says land doesn't produce food? Our county magistrate Xu Shixun has learned to grow rice from Master Cheng and Madam Cheng. It will soon have a good harvest. When the time comes, our family will also plant a few acres of paddy fields. It would be even better if we could just get a few acres of paddy fields."

At this time, everyone had already arrived in the yard. Cheng Youning saw the child in the stroller at a glance, "Is he your newly born brother?"

Qiao Rong's mother smiled and said, "Young Master, this is my mistress."

Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong both came closer to take a look. Cheng Youning pouted and thought: This child is so ugly.

Qiao Rong thought the same thing, "Mom, why is he uglier than my brother when he was a child?"

His mother shook the scooter twice and said, "This is still ugly. How handsome it is."

When Cheng Youning heard this, he secretly curled his lips. He didn't see any handsomeness in this kid at all.

"Mom, where's my brother?"

Whoever comes, come. Someone outside the gate shouts from far away, "Brother——"

"younger brother--"

This child is much stronger than he was three months ago. The last time I saw him was at Lingchen Temple, when the Hu couple took him to eat the vegetarian meal donated by the government. At that time, the child was not this tall yet, and could not run this fast.

The child didn't stop and ran back, followed by several other children: "Brother, why did you come back just now? I missed you so much."

Qiao Rong smiled and said, "Brother missed you too. This is the young master. Why didn't you call him when you saw him?"

Qiao Rong's brother grinned: "Young Master."

"Ah."

"Brother, what's in those two big bags? Is it delicious?"

Qiao Rong said: "I brought you some delicious food."

Qiao Rong first found two items of food and handed them to his brother, "You and them go eat over there."

Qiao Rong's younger brother took the food and went to eat with a few other children. It was not that he missed Qiao Rong at all, but he was clearly thinking about the delicious food that Qiao Rong brought him.

"Mom, here are some things that the young lady brought for you."

Qiao Rong's mother looked at those things and said, "Oh, how come you brought such good things to me? You must thank Madam Cheng for me when you go back."

Qiao Rong nodded happily: "I know, I know." He reached into his bosom and took out a purse, "Mom, this is my three months' salary."

His mother looked at the large bag of copper coins and said, "You don't need to give so much to the family. Keep some for yourself."

Qiao Rong said, "I have nowhere to spend the money, so you should keep it all, Mom."

In fact, his family was looking forward to Qiao Rong's monthly salary, so his mother no longer refused and accepted it.

When Qiao Rong's younger brother heard that there was a copper coin, he ran over and said, "Brother, give me a copper coin."

Qiao Rong asked, "Can you spend money?"

His brother said, "Yes, Liu Laoer's father took him to the city to eat white flour and meat buns, one copper coin each. I want to go, but unfortunately my parents won't take me. Give me a copper coin, and next time his father takes him to eat buns, I will go with him."
