"Is Chen Lang at home?"

Outside, Gao Jingfeng, wearing a government uniform, knocked on Murong Chen's door.

"Here, wait a moment." Murong Chen put down the carving knife and ran to the door to open the door.

When he looked up, he saw Gao Jingfeng carrying a bag full of things and said with a smile:

"I bought you some sweet potatoes in the town. They are so sweet. This new food is sold in the streets and alleys this year. I heard that Princess Rui found the seeds and promoted the sweet potatoes. Take some and try them. They are delicious. .”

Gao Jingfeng said, opening the cloth bag, and his eyes were full of joy when he mentioned Lin Yunxi.

"Thank you uncle, come and sit in the room." Murong Chen nodded. Now he also needs help. It's really a twist of fate.

Entering the front yard, Gao Jingfeng placed the sweet potatoes next to the wooden table and looked at the wood carvings on the wooden table.

"Chen Lang, I haven't been here for a few days and you have carved so many. Today I will bring these to Wang Laoer in the town. He said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming and he is in urgent need of wood carvings. If you can make lanterns, That’s even better.”

Gao Jingfeng picked up various wood carvings and looked at them with admiration.

"Lanterns, that's easy. I'll go to town tomorrow to buy some lantern paper and give it a try." Murong Chen looked at Gao Jingfeng with a tired expression.

Nowadays, none of his princes live as well as his uncle. His uncle has not committed any crime. Although he has been demoted, at least he still has a salary. Now the person he envies the most is probably his uncle in front of him.

My uncle only has one wife and no concubines at home, so there is no problem with the messy backyard. The husband and wife are harmonious, the children are well-behaved, and he has a part-time job to support the family. Now he is just a commoner and can only earn a living by doing odd jobs. There are three other people at home. A woman has to support herself. Now she has a daughter, and there will be children born in the future. Thinking about so many people waiting for him to eat alone gives him a headache.

Now I regret it, I regret my treason. If I had not treason, I would still be a prince in the capital. Although I am not as outstanding as Murong Hao in all aspects and cannot sit in that position, at least the whole family can have enough food and clothing.

Gao Jingfeng saw Murong Chen's sad face. Of course he understood his nephew's mood. After the palace change, apart from the Gao family, he was probably the one who suffered the most.

After all, he was once a high-ranking prince and now became a commoner. How could he accept this sudden change.

When she first arrived in Lingshan, Ren Lean ran to the town several nights to beg him to go to the village to persuade her nephew to stop drinking. If he drank again, she was afraid that Murong Chen would drink and not wake up again.

After drinking for several months, it wasn't until his first daughter was born that he woke up from alcoholism and was willing to accept the job his uncle found for him and start planning for a family. It was really pitiful.

"Chen Lang, uncle is very happy that you can do this." Gao Jingfeng patted Murong Chen on the back, as if to encourage him.

"Thank you uncle for your help in the past few months. I will work hard in the future. Things should be better after a while." Murong Chen squeezed out a smile, with gratitude and expectation hidden in his smile.

"It's best if you think so. By the way, here are some small clothes that your aunt sewed for Sister Zhuang. I almost forgot." Gao Jingfeng handed the bundle on his back to Murong Chen.

"My uncle went back to help thank my aunt for Sister Zhuang. I will make lanterns another day and send them to Ji'er and Sister Yun when I get to town. They will be treated as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from my cousin." Murong Chen Thinking of his uncle's two lovely children, he smiled lovingly.

"You go ahead and don't give it to them. When we moved from the capital, they brought some toys with them. No need." Gao Jingfeng knew that his life was not easy now and didn't want him to spend money.

"Yes, my cousins ​​are still young."

After the two grown men talked for a long time, Murong Chen packed the carved wooden doll on the wooden table in a small wooden box and handed it to Gao Jingfeng.

"I'm not going to be polite to my uncle today. I also asked my uncle to bring these wood carvings to Wang Laoer for me. I won't make this trip. I have time to study and make lanterns tonight."

"Okay, this is the money from the wood carvings last time. Keep it." Gao Jingfeng held the wooden box in one hand and handed some silver notes to Murong Chen with the other.

"Why are there so many? There weren't a few wood carvings last time." Murong Chen was confused.

"Wang Laoer said that your wood carving craftsmanship is the best in the nearby villages and towns, and it sells for a good price, so he gave me more, so you can take it."

Gao Jingfeng said and left, fearing that he would react.

"You go ahead, I'll go back first. These wood carvings will bring you the money in a few days." Gao Jingfeng hurried out of the door and closed the door for Murong Chen.

Murong Chen looked at the banknote in his hand and smiled bitterly. He was once a royal prince, but now he asked his uncle to help him live. Now he really regrets it. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Lin Yunxi and Murong Hao looked at it in the technology library, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts.

People, you must not take the wrong path. Once you take the wrong path, there is no use regretting it.

"Murong Hao, do you want to help your elder brother? How can he support such a large family by carving wood carvings like this?" Lin Yunxi raised his head and looked at the thoughtful man beside him.

"Think about it, how does Xi'er want to help him?" Murong Hao was also thinking about this question.

He understood Murong Chen's talent best. When he was in the Imperial Academy, the imperial tutors all said that he could read and write well. Now he was really wasting his talent by doing carpentry.

"How about letting him be a teacher? I heard you said that he used to be good at reading." Lin Yunxi looked at the man who was thinking with his bright eyes.

Murong Hao smiled. Xi'er was indeed connected with him and thought of him together.

"Xi'er, we are indeed a dragon and a phoenix, and we all want to go together." He rubbed the top of the little woman's hair.

"Husband, do you think this is feasible?" Lin Yunxi smiled happily, they had the same idea.

"Well, is Xi'er thinking of asking Mrs. Cao from Jinwei City for help?" Murong Hao wanted to know if she was in line with his idea.

"Haha, my husband is really the roundworm in Xi'er's belly." Lin Yunxi looked at the man with a gentle face with a smile.

"Who is the roundworm? I am your dragon." Murong Hao scratched the tip of the woman's nose and smiled.

"Okay, you are my favorite dragon." Lin Yunxi said coquettishly.

Murong Hao did not answer her words and looked at the entire village.

"Xi'er, you see this village is quite big, but it's a pity that there is no school. Let's ask Mrs. Cao to help build a school. We will pay for the construction of the school and the money for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the future. This not only helps the eldest brother, but also makes the village children have books to read.”

Murong Hao pointed to the village in front of him, as if he wanted to explain something.

"Husband, in addition to running a school, I also want to open a skin care product workshop here in Lingshan. Mrs. Cao will like it."

Looking at the village in front of me, it was urgent to build a school. In addition to the strength of the population, the prosperity of a place also required these people to be well-informed and sensible.
