The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi clapped her hands with a laugh. She was thinking that the famous scene of Wan Lianxing praying for rain would probably not be erased from the hearts of the people for three to five years. Huang Chenming was really amazing. She didn't know what kind of trouble he could cause to Wan Lianxing during this prayer.

The fifth brother smiled and said, "My story is not bad. You can go to the teahouse next door and listen to the storyteller there. The storyteller there is really good."

The fifth sister-in-law pushed the fifth brother and said, "Hurry up and go down to them. They haven't had breakfast yet."

"Okay, okay, I'll go downstairs for you. Just wait."

The fifth sister-in-law sat next to Shang Xi, holding Shang Xi's hand and said, "Why don't you bring Cheng Youning here? I don't know what the child will look like."

Shang Xi said, "He hasn't made any progress. He just runs around all day. He followed the Marquis to open a business with Hong Zhe, the doctor of the Water Department. He came here to eat noodles these two days. He should also withdraw money from the account. Fifth sister-in-law, you must remember that withdrawing two taels is just right, and no more than twenty taels is allowed."

The fifth sister-in-law asked: "How much money can I take out?"

Shang Xi said, "Under twenty taels, no more."

The fifth sister-in-law asked, "He is only a six-year-old kid, what does he need the money for?"

Shang Xi said: "Buy sugar cakes, buy sugar beans, drink big bowls of tea, eat stewed food and so on. In short, don't buy anything that is really useful."

The fifth sister-in-law asked, "If we eat some street food, it won't cost that much, right?"

Shang Xi said: "He won't pay if the amount is less than two taels. One tael is two taels."

The fifth sister-in-law was puzzled: "Why?"

Shang Xi said: "I don't know either. He has always done this in Fengying City. His grandfather and his father have already acquiesced to it."

The fifth sister-in-law thought for a moment and said, "Then give him the flowers. He is your only precious child. No matter how much gold and silver there is in the family, it will all be his in the future. By the way, did your eldest sister-in-law give birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"

Shang Xi asked: "Who is my elder sister-in-law?"

Yuhua said: "Shang Xi, why don't you use your brain? The eldest daughter of the Wan family is your eldest sister-in-law."

Shang Xi suddenly realized: "My sister has given birth to a baby, it's almost one year old, it's a daughter, the baby is so cute."

The fifth sister-in-law said: "The girl is nice too, very considerate."

Shang Xi looked at Sister Wu's belly and said, "Sister Wu, is there any movement in your belly?"

The fifth sister-in-law smiled embarrassedly.

Shang Xi reacted immediately, "Fifth sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"

The fifth sister-in-law quickly covered Shang Xi's mouth and said, "Don't say anything."

Shang Xi's eyes widened like bells, and she whispered, "What do you mean? The child is not my fifth brother's, is it?"

Yuhua stretched out her finger and pressed Shang Xi's head: "I think you have been building a house with a grown man for too long. Your brain is as stupid as a man's."

Shang Xi asked: "What's going on? Does Fifth Brother know?"

The fifth sister-in-law nodded.

Shang Xi asked: "Is it my fifth brother's?"

Yuhua said: "She is pregnant for less than three months, so she dare not make it public."

The big stone in Shang Xi's heart finally fell, "How can you say this? It scares me to death. I said that my fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law are both honest people."

The fifth sister-in-law said, "So I want to take advantage of the time when the Marquis is praying to kowtow to him and pray for the child."

Shang Xi thought it was ridiculous and tried to stop him, saying, "You and my fifth brother should not go out. The baby in your belly is still young, and I can't afford the consequences of riding in a carriage for two days. You'd better stay at home."

At this time, the fifth brother brought the noodles and said, "Why don't I go? Let your fifth sister-in-law stay at home and pray for the child. It will be the same if I go. Isn't it just kowtow to the marquis and say a few words? I can do all that."

Shang Xi really wanted to say that the worship of Wan Lianxing was nonsense, but unfortunately she couldn't expose the fact that praying for blessings was just a trick, and winning the hearts of the people was the real thing. She thought again and again and said, "The Marquis is in Mochun County, why don't you follow me back at night, and if you want to kowtow, just kowtow in front of the Marquis."

Yuhua agreed: "I think this is a good idea."

The fifth brother said, "That won't work. This Marquis is a great man respected by everyone. Your fifth sister-in-law and I can't just meet him if we want to."

Shang Xi said: "I will arrange a chance encounter for you."

The fifth brother waved his hands and said, "It's even worse. Your fifth sister-in-law and I are not the kind of people who climb up the social ladder. What is the status of the Marquis now? Who doesn't want to see the Marquis? Your fifth sister-in-law and I don't want to be special."

Shang Xi said, "Well, when the Marquis is done with government affairs in a few days, I will trick him here."

"Ah? This is even worse, Shang Xi, please don't mess around for me and your fifth sister-in-law."

Shang Xi said, "Don't worry about it. I can definitely trick him here." Shang Xi was thinking, isn't it just to kowtow to Wan Lianxing? This shouldn't be difficult. But what she wanted to say more was that having a baby depends on how you two protect the fetus, and it has nothing to do with whether you kowtow to Wan Lianxing or not. This is superstition, and Wan Lianxing doesn't have that kind of ability. "

Wan Lianxing in the Hong Mansion sneezed and muttered to himself: Who is thinking about me?

When he came to the Hong Mansion this time, Hong Zhekai's attitude towards him was even more enthusiastic than the last time he arranged the engagement for Cheng Youning and Hong Jiutong. This man went from hating Wan Lianxing at the beginning to respecting and admiring Wan Lianxing. He himself was surprised at the slight change in his attitude. But at this moment, he sincerely admired Wan Lianxing, so he sent an invitation to Wan Lianxing and held a banquet for him. At this moment, his whole family stood neatly at the door to welcome him.

Hong Zhekai clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, facing Wan Lianxing, and said in a gentle and elegant manner: "It's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well, my lord."

Wan Lianxing had a warm smile on his face: "Thanks to the people of Fengying, everything is fine. How is Lord Hong these days?"

"The Marquis entrusted me with an important task, but I was afraid that I could not do it. I worked day and night with my workers to build water conservancy projects. However, the results are minimal, and I have only solved the water problem for the people in Mochun County."

Hong Zhekai looked very humble. Wan Lianxing reached out to help him up. "Master Hong, why are you so modest? Master Hong has made an indelible contribution to the drinking water for the people of Mochun County. At the same time, you have solved a big problem for me. Water conservancy construction is a big project and a slow process. I will continue to rely on Master Hong in the future."

"Thank you, my Lord, for your appreciation of the sinner, but these are what the sinner should do."

Facing Hong Zhekai's humble attitude, Wan Lianxing said, "Master Hong works for me, Wan Lianxing, and the people of Fengying, not for the emperor of Dalang. You are a criminal in the eyes of the emperor, but in my eyes you are a meritorious official, so Master Hong should not regard yourself as a criminal in the future."
