The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Huang Chenming was caught off guard by Wan Lianxing's words. Before he could even stand firmly on his feet, Wan Lianxing was already preparing to return home. "My Lord, since we are out now, let's have a vegetarian meal before going back."

At this time, Cheng Youning asked: "When will we have vegetarian meal?"

Wan Lianxing said, "You seem to have just eaten a bowl of eight-treasure rice not long ago."

Cheng Youning said: "I want to know what vegetarian food is."

Wan Lianxing said: "It means the food without any meat."

Huang Chenming immediately retorted: "No."

Cheng Youning's eyes lit up, "So is there meat in today's vegetarian meal?"

Huang Chenming had no choice but to explain to these two people who didn't understand what vegetarian food was. Not only was Wan Lianxing not interested in vegetarian food, but Cheng Youning also lost hope for vegetarian food after hearing what Huang Chenming said. They both agreed that it would be better not to eat the vegetarian meal.

Qiao Rong, who was beside Cheng Youning, said to Cheng Youning, "Young Master, the vegetarian meal is delicious."

"You have eaten?"

Qiao Rong shook his head. "I haven't eaten it, but my mother brought me here to burn incense, and I smelled the aroma of vegetarian food. It was delicious."

"It doesn't have any meat or fish, how can it be delicious?"

Qiao Rong said: "It's delicious. I started drooling when I smelled the vegetarian food."

Cheng Youning said, "You actually came from such a far place to burn incense."

Qiao Rong said: "This Lingchen Temple is a big temple. We come here at least once a year. After all, it is not far from our Qiaochun County."

Sure enough, the next day Qiao Rong saw his father, mother and brother in the temple.

"Mom and Dad, why are you here?"

Hu Er's mother said, "Isn't this a Dharma assembly held by the Marquis? There are also donations. How could we not come on such a good day? When I came here, I thought that I would definitely see you here, and I really did see you."

"Mother, this Dharma Assembly will last for seven days. If the young master is happy, he will accompany the Marquis here every day to listen to Master Daoqing's lectures. Then I will have the opportunity to join them."

"We plan to come here more often in the next few days, so Mom will be able to see you every day."

Qiao Rong looked at her mother's belly and asked, "Isn't it hard for Mom to go out like this?"

"What's the point of working so hard? Your brother can come, so what should I be afraid of at my age?"

It was the first time for Qiao Rong's younger brother to come, and a pair of big eyes were obviously not enough. He looked around but didn't dare to go far away. In short, Cheng Youning just couldn't like him no matter how much he looked at him. No matter how many times they met in the future, he still felt annoyed at the first sight of him.

At this time, a woman with a loud voice came towards Qiao Rong, "Qiao Rong, where is my banana?"

Qiao Rong said, "Auntie Li, Sister Bajiao didn't come."

"You are here, why isn't my Basho here?"

Qiao Rong said: "I can't come out casually. I can only come out after the young master comes out."

"Young Master, come out. Why can't my Banana come out?"

Qiao Rong said: "This is the rule of the mansion."

Bajiao's mother said, "It's the second day of the first lunar month, can't you come out and let me see you?"

Qiao Rong said, "Auntie Li, the rules of this mansion are very strict. The servants don't have any days off. Not only in the mansion, but also in other wealthy families, servants don't have days off. If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask around."

"Then I will never see Basho again."

Qiao Rong said, "Yes, you can. If Sister Bajiao wants to go out, she needs to inform the housekeeper in advance. She can go out after the housekeeper approves it. Or you can go to the house and see her if it's convenient."

“This rule is too big.”

Qiao Rong said, "This is just the beginning."

"You know my daughter Bajiao's personality. She's a bit stubborn. Can she adapt to being kept in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Qiao Rong's face was serious. "Auntie, please don't talk nonsense. You were the ones who sold her to the Marquis' Mansion, and you also received money from the Marquis' Mansion. How can you say she was kept captive? Sister Bajiao was just sold to the mansion to be a servant. It would be very unpleasant if your words were spread out."

Bajiao's mother covered her mouth nervously, "What does my Bajiao do in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Qiao Rong said: "Learn the rules."

"It's been a few days since we left, why are you still learning the rules? Didn't you say you were raising river clams for the young master? Do I have to learn so many rules to raise river clams?"

Qiao Rong said, "Once you enter this mansion, you will be subject to rules. Do you think the rules are so easy to learn? If you learn them well, you can do some fine work. If you don't learn them well, you can do rough work. We don't decide what to do specifically. You have to listen to the orders of the steward."

Bajiao's mother said, "I thought she was in the Marquis's Mansion raising river clams for the young master and serving him."

Qiao Rong said: "The young master doesn't lack maids. If she doesn't learn the rules well, she won't be able to be with the young master."

"What? My Bajiao doesn't see the young master every day?"

"Yes, the Marquis' Mansion is not your home, how can you meet whoever you want?"

"Can Bajiao see the Marquis?"

"Auntie, don't dream. The Marquis is not someone who can be seen by anyone who wants to."

Bajiao's mother said, "I think the marquis is easy to talk to. Why don't I go and talk to him?"

Qiao Rong said, "Whatever you say, if you want to see Sister Bajiao, just go to her house and try your luck. Normally, they will let you see her, but you can't see her often. Once or twice a month is acceptable."

"I'll talk to the Marquis and ask him to let my Bajiao serve the young master like you do. My Bajiao will definitely serve better than you."

Qiao Rong rolled his eyes in his heart. It was not easy for him to survive until today. He was once abandoned in the deep mountains by Cheng Youning. How could this man be so easy to serve?

"Auntie Li, first of all, the Marquis will not care about such trivial matters. Secondly, it depends on the young master's opinion. If the young master doesn't like your Bajiao, Bajiao can't serve him personally."

Bajiao's mother said, "Then I will go and talk to the young master. A five-year-old child is easy to fool. Just a few nice words will make him soften his heart and let Bajiao serve him personally."

Qiao Rong said: "He is smarter than you and you still want to fool him."

"I eat more salt than he eats rice, and I can't fool a little kid."

Qiao Rong said, "Don't you see who the young master is with? You want to fool him? Humph, you are just dreaming."

"This won't work, that won't work either, what do you think we should do?"

Qiao Rong said, "Once you enter the Marquis' Mansion, you have to rely on yourself. Learn the rules first."

Qiao Rong's mother was worried for Bajiao's mother and was also worried about Bajiao. "Son, you have a good relationship with the young master. Can you speak up for Bajiao?"

Qiao Rong said, "I have to wait until the right time to tell you. Sister Bajiao has only been here for a few days and hasn't learned the rules yet. I can't tell you."

"Son, you and Bajiao are both from our Hu village. You should help your sister Bajiao more."

"Mom, I know. I will definitely help my sister Bajiao." At this time, Qiao Rong took out the purse from his body and said, "Mom, please keep this money and save it for my brother to get married."
