The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Thank you for your appreciation, sir. Please come in."

This courtyard was bought by Wan Lianxing for Hong Zhekai a long time ago. The luxury here is no less than Wan Lianxing's residence in Mochun County. Although Wan Lianxing used a lot of tricks and means to make Hong Zhekai submit to him, it seems that he treats Hong Zhekai well.

As soon as Wan Lianxing sat down, Hong Yunrang knelt down and served him tea, "Little Grandpa, please have some tea."

Wan Lianxing took the tea and took a sip, then put it on the table beside him, and said lovingly, "Get up and let grandpa see you."

Hong Yunrang stood up. Wan Lianxing looked at him carefully, pinched his arm, and said with satisfaction, "He has grown a little taller, but he has become a lot stronger. It seems that my grandson has not neglected exercise in the past year."

Hong Yunrang said: "My grandson often practices martial arts to strengthen his body, but his riding and archery skills are still not good enough."

Wan Lianxing said: "If you can strengthen your body, then your goal has been achieved. Grandfather has long said that you are a student, not a swordsman. Your first priority is to study hard. Now that you are a young man, it is time for you to start a family and shoulder the burden of the family. Your grandson should devote a lot of energy to studying."

Hong Yunrang said: "Grandpa is teaching me that I am just a mediocre person. Although I study hard every day, I still have no great talent and am of no great use."

Hong Yunrang was at the right age to take the imperial examination, but because his family was exiled here, he lost the opportunity to take the imperial examination and make achievements. As a man, if he does not have the opportunity to take the imperial examination and get a position, he will never have a career in the government. No matter how much he studies, his talent will not be appreciated and he will not be able to use his talents.

How could Wan Lianxing not know the ambition and passion that a well-read young man should have? He comforted Hong Yunrang: "If you keep moving forward, everyone in the world will recognize you. As long as you study hard and learn with an open mind, you will always be able to use your talents."

At this time, Hong Zhekai spoke at the right time, "My Lord, how about letting Yun Ban stay by your side? If you can train him, he can become a useful person sooner. I'm afraid this child won't have much of a future in my hands."

Wan Lianxing sighed, "You, Hong Zhekai, when I brought Yunrang with me, you scolded me for stealing your son. Now that I have returned your son to you, you want to give him to me again."

Having been in the officialdom for many years, Hong Zhekai is not only talented, but also flexible. When he is frustrated, he can endure humiliation, and when he is proud, he can display his talents and ambitions. He can say this at this time, just to make a good future for his son Hong Yunrang. Wan Lianxing understands strategies and he knows when to go. He began to explain himself: "My Lord, please take a look at me. At that time, I was short-sighted and narrow-minded. I didn't recognize the great man and misunderstood the Lord. Now it seems that the Lord is a wise leader, a virtuous and talented person. If Yunrang can always accompany the Lord, even if it is just to serve tea and water to the Lord, he will learn a lot from the Lord."

"Old Hong, I told you a long time ago that my eldest brother is the one who should teach people about this theory. You didn't believe it at that time, so you have to hand the child over to my eldest brother this time." The speaker was Ge Dongqing. At that time, he made a lot of efforts so that Hong Zhekai could join Wan Lianxing and work for Wan Lianxing.

"I also feel regretful. I let my son Yunrang miss the opportunity to learn from the Marquis." Hong Zhekai's words were not false. They were not just words to flatter Wan Lianxing. He didn't know that Wan Lianxing would one day be in charge of the military power of Fengying and continue to expand the territory for himself. If he had known this, he should not have tried every means to get his son back.

Seeing Wan Lianxing was silent, Ge Dongqing began to speak for Hong Zhe: "Brother, Yunrang is a good kid, well-educated, gentle, and has a good temper. Why don't you take him with you? He can't help much with Old Hong. Yunrang should have passed the imperial examination at the age of twenty. You know, with Old Hong's status, Yunrang will definitely not have the chance to get an official title. It's better to let him work with the Marquis. You have at least 800 disciples, if not a thousand. Yunrang is not a big deal. A child like Yunrang who studies hard and is dedicated to learning will sooner or later become famous and achieve great things."

Wan Lianxing's expression had already turned serious. "Even if I take him with me, I'll just put him in the governor's mansion. What can he learn from me if he's not by my side?"

Hong Yunrang said, "My grandson will serve my little grandfather."

Wan Lianxing said: "The situation is different now. There are constant battles at the border. It won't be long before I go to the battlefield to command the battle. Every battle is a tough one, with swords and knives that are merciless and full of dangers. How can I take you with me? Instead of staying in my prefectural mansion, it's better to be free in Mochun County."

Hong Yunrang said, "Grandfather, when my younger brother Youning was five years old, he followed you to the border to fight. I, Hong Yunrang, am sixteen now. Although I am not good at riding and shooting, I will not hold you back."

Wan Lianxing said: "Your brother's legs run very fast, and even Grandpa can't catch up. If you follow him and get hurt, your father and I will not be able to explain. You are the future head of your Hong family, you can't take this risk."

Hong Yunrang said: "Brother Youning is the only son of the Wan family for two generations, so he is naturally more precious than me. If your brother is not afraid, why should I, a seven-foot-tall man, be afraid of going to the battlefield?"

At this time, Cheng Youning, who had been pretending to be serious, spoke up. He had long wanted to find a chance to talk to his brother, but due to too many formalities, he never had the chance. However, he couldn't miss the chance to speak for his little brother, so he said to Wan Lianxing: "Grandpa, please bring my brother with you. This way, Youning can live with my brother at the border, study and practice swordplay together, and your grandson will have a companion."

Wan Lianxing looked at Hong Yunrang's expectant eyes, he sighed in his heart and said: "Yunrang, you are the most popular person in this room. Your father speaks for you, your grandfather Ge also speaks for you, and your brother also speaks for you. If the little grandfather does not take you with him, it means that the little grandfather is unkind. But you must remember to study hard and practice riding and shooting in the future, and don't let the little grandfather be distracted from protecting you."

Hong Yunrang suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, for your agreement. I will listen to your teachings and study hard every day to help you."

Wan Lianxing knew that both Hong Zhekai and Hong Yunrang were for their careers, otherwise who would be willing to let such a good son accompany him to the war. But he used Hong Zhekai, and Hong Zhekai made outstanding contributions in water conservancy projects. It was difficult for him to refuse this person's small request.
