The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Youning said: "Eighty or ninety percent is still a little short of the mark. You have to learn everything."

Bajiao said, "The steward said the same thing. Seeing that it was the young lady who allowed me to come, he had no objection."

Cheng Youning said, "Since my mother asked you to come here, I can't let you go back, so you should stay. You should do whatever the manager asks you to do here, but you must not be rude with your mouth or hands."

"Yes, young master. Bajiao knows all these rules."

Cheng Youning walked out and found that Qiao Rong didn't follow him, so he turned around and looked at Qiao Rong and said, "Are you going to stay in the yard?"

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Qiao Rong ran over happily, "I can finally work with Sister Bajiao."

Cheng Youning said, "If you really want to live in the same room with Bajiao, then you can be a servant in my courtyard. I will find another book boy. Anyway, you are not very good at studying."

Qiao Rong followed closely, "What are you talking about, young master? Don't try to drive me away. I will be your servant. Wherever you go, I will go."

Cheng Youning said: "Then you follow."

"Young Master, where are we going?"

Cheng Youning said: "Go to the street and find my father."

"What do you want to do with the young master?"

Cheng Youning said, "I have something to ask him."

"what is the matter?"

Cheng Youning said, "Don't worry about it."

Cheng Youning was not a big man, but he found his father's people after walking a few streets. Cheng Feng smiled and picked Cheng Youning up.

"Son, why are you here? Have you eaten the cake?"

Cheng Youning said: "Didn't you eat?"

"Have you eaten duck feet?"

Cheng Youning said: "I didn't eat."

Cheng Feng asked again: "Did you drink the big bowl of tea?"

Cheng Youning said: "I didn't drink."

Cheng Feng heard that he hadn't eaten anything, and that this person was coming for him, so he smiled and said, "Then you came here specifically to see Daddy."

Cheng Youning nodded: "I heard from the servants this morning that you told me three marriage proposals, wasn't it just one for Chen Gongxiang's daughter? When did it become three?"

Cheng Feng laughed and said, "Who told you that?"

Cheng Youning said: "Just tell me whether this happened or not?"

Cheng Feng thought about it. It had been so long since they came back from Mochun County and no one mentioned this matter. The servants in the mansion didn't know even more. Who could he have heard it from? After thinking about it, he had an idea in his mind. It must have been Zhu'er, the big mouth, who told it.

He thought again, Cheng Youning would know it sooner or later, so he didn't hide it. "It is true, but it was your grandfather's idea, not your father and mother's."

Cheng Youning frowned and said, "I heard that one of them is an old woman?"

Cheng Feng smiled awkwardly: "She is not an old woman, she is only fourteen years old, a good age for a bud to bloom."

Cheng Youning was a child after all, so Cheng Feng said a few words and he stopped asking. Cheng Feng casually took out two taels of silver and handed it to Cheng Youning, then patted Cheng Youning's butt and said, "Go buy some candy cakes."

Cheng Youning smiled, took the silver and went across the street with Qiao Rong to buy sweets and cakes.

Cheng Feng was very satisfied with his son's reaction. He thought his son was sensible and understanding. However, Shi Hongshang, who was watching the fun, was stunned.

"Cheng Feng, your family is too anxious. You have arranged three marriages for such a young man. I have never heard of such a thing."

Cheng Feng said: "My uncle arranged all of them. Shang Xi and I didn't agree to any of them. They are either older or younger than Cheng Youning."

Zhugener on the side asked curiously: "How old are they?"

Cheng Feng did not avoid them. He answered Zhugen'er's questions. However, from Cheng Feng's tone, one could hear his regret and dissatisfaction with these marriages. "One is four years older than Cheng Youning, and the other is nine years older than Cheng Youning?"

"What about another one?"

Cheng Feng laughed, "The other one is much younger."

Zhugener asked: "How small?"

Cheng Feng said: "I don't know how to calculate this. The child hasn't been born yet."

Zhugener asked: "In the mother's womb?"

Cheng Feng said: "The child couldn't even be found in the mother's womb."

When he was chasing the source, he couldn't help but burst out laughing like a pig.

Shi Hongshang glanced at Zhu Gen'er and said, "What are you laughing at? Be serious."

Shi Hongshang actually wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it back. He couldn't let Cheng Feng think that they, the master and the servant, were just there to watch the fun. Cheng Feng was very nice to him. He let him choose from all the shops in the row and even lent him a few people who were working in his teahouse. If he laughed at this time, it seemed a bit unkind.

Zhugener couldn't hold back any longer and laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. Seeing this, Shi Hongshang raised her foot and kicked Zhugener.

Cheng Feng was not surprised. Anyone who heard about this would have to laugh. "It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, everyone will know about this. If I don't tell others, the girl's family will tell others. It's better for you to hear it from me than from outsiders."

Seeing that Cheng Feng treated him as his own, Shi Hongshang had to hold back his smile. He said seriously, "The ages of these marriage partners don't seem to be that similar."

Cheng Feng said: "Who says it's not true? Shang Xi is only in her early twenties. Who knows what Cheng Youning's life will be like in the future. This matter is handled too hastily."

Shi Hongshang comforted Cheng Feng, "I think your son is quite cunning. He has come here to ask you about this. He can handle a few more marriage proposals."

Cheng Feng said: "He likes to play. He goes to the street not only to look for me, but also to eat delicious food. Asking me is secondary. He will have to ask his grandfather when he goes home later."

Shi Hongshang said, "What would the Marquis say?"

Cheng Feng said: "My silly son can be coaxed into happiness by his grandfather with just a few words."

During dinner, Cheng Youning sat at the table and actually asked Wan Lianxing. Wan Lianxing didn't think it was against his conscience at all, and even reasoned with Cheng Youning, "Youning, this marriage is not an ordinary marriage."

Cheng Youning asked: "Why is it unusual?"

Wan Lianxing said: "This Hong Jiutong is the biological sister of your brother Hong Yunrang."

"Sister?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Yes, this is a good marriage that makes the relationship even closer."

When Cheng Youning heard that it was Hong Yunrang's sister, he didn't ask any more questions and said, "I miss my brother so much. When can I go to Mochun County? I want to go see my brother."

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "That's hard to say. There are so many things to do here. I can't go anywhere until I finish these official duties."

Cheng Youning said: "Grandpa, take me with you when you can go out. Don't leave me at home like my parents did."

Wan Lianxing laughed, "Don't worry, Grandpa will take you wherever he goes."
