The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chen Gongxiang took the key and opened the drawer, then laughed, "Madam, we don't always have so many people coming to our house. You must have been too busy today. Take a look at what's in the drawer."

"Hey? How come the jade pendant is there again?" Xiang Qin was surprised and happy, and couldn't believe her eyes, "Master, it was clearly not there just now."

Chen Gongxiang said: "You are just too tired and your eyes are blurry. You should have a good rest."

"Master, you don't believe me? Ask your daughter if this drawer was empty just now."

"I can testify that my brother's jade pendant was indeed not in the drawer just now."

Chen Gongxiang said, "You two mothers have teamed up to deceive me again. I have a lot of important things to do, so I won't talk to you two anymore."

"master……"

In order to govern Mochun County, Wan Lianxing ordered people to select a house that he liked here in advance. As soon as she stepped into the house, Shang Xi seemed to have returned to the bamboo forest on the mountain where she had lived. The first thing she saw was not the house but the bamboos at the base of the wall of the courtyard. Although they were not lush, they were numerous. Then she looked at the stone steps and the base of the wall on both sides of the windows. The groups of bamboos were particularly eye-catching. As long as you want to see them, you can see them everywhere.

"Why does this place look so similar to the residence in the bamboo forest? Does my uncle like bamboo?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "It's not bamboo that I like, but bamboo shoots that I like."

Shang Xi twitched the corner of his mouth. I have never heard that if you like to eat bamboo shoots, you have to plant bamboo in the yard. Planting a few bamboos in a good yard is elegant. With bamboos everywhere, it is almost like building a house in a bamboo forest. This makes Shang Xi find the feeling of living in the wilderness again.

Wan Lianxing said: "You don't have to criticize me secretly. You know that looking at plums can quench thirst. For me, looking at these rows of bamboos is like eating bamboo shoots."

"You are so easily satisfied."

"How demanding do you think I am? I won't talk to you anymore. Just walk around in the yard. I need to rest."

Shang Xi said, "I'm going to punish Cheng Youning later. Isn't my uncle going to punish the followers? If you take a rest, who will take care of the followers?"

Wan Lianxing said: "They came back to call me, but they can't come back for a while."

"why?"

"Have you ever seen anyone who made a mistake come back to be punished?"

As expected, what Wan Lianxing said came true. It was dark when the two men came back.

At this time, Wan Lianxing was already waiting for them in the house, "The things have been returned."

“I went back.”

"Little Grandpa, where is my mother? Has she calmed down?"

"Your mother won't be able to calm down until you get a good beating."

Cheng Youning muttered and sat down on the chair, "My grandpa didn't stop my mother from beating me. He should at least say something for me."

Wan Lianxing said, "Kneel down! You are a person who has made a mistake and you still want to sit and talk to me."

"Grandpa doesn't love me anymore?"

"Look at what you did. Can your grandfather protect you?"

Cheng Youning leaned back in his chair, pretending to be dead.

Wan Lianxing slammed the table, and said, "Master and disciple, both of you kneel down."

Cheng Youning was frightened by Wan Lianxing's harsh rebuke, and he quickly knelt down in the middle of the ground. The follower who was still smiling said, "My apprentice is here, Lord Marquis, please give me some face."

"Are you giving me the face? Kneel down."

The follower had no choice but to kneel beside Cheng Youning.

Wan Lianxing said to the people around him, "Go and call Shang Xi over."

After a while, Cheng Feng came, "Uncle."

Wan Lianxing said, "Shang Xi is going to punish Cheng Youning, where is she?"

Cheng Feng said, "Uncle, Shang Xi is not used to the local climate. She has been suffering from diarrhea since she came back from County Magistrate Chen's house."

"Oh? How could this happen? Is anyone else okay?"

"It's all fine. She's the only one with this symptom. It must be because the water is not clean."

"Have you asked the doctor to take a look?"

"I checked it out, it's nothing serious, I took the medicine and went to sleep."

Cheng Youning said: "In this case, can I avoid being punished?"

Wan Lianxing said: "You wish. Since your mother can't come, I will punish you on her behalf."

"How to punish?"

"Since this is your first mistake, I will spare you the pain this time."

"You won't hit me?" Cheng Youning happily got up from the ground, ran over to Wan Lianxing's arms, and gave Wan Lianxing a kiss on the face.

Wan Lianxing said: "You don't have to please me, I will punish you."

"How to punish?"

"Just copy the family motto a hundred times, and you are not allowed to leave this room until you have copied it all."

"One hundred times is too many. My fingers should be broken from fatigue. Please spare me, little grandpa." Cheng Youning put his arms around Wan Lianxing's neck and gave him another kiss.

Wan Lianxing was very pleased with Cheng Youning's coquettish behavior. Wan Lianxing, who had no principles, quickly changed his mind and said, "Since you have a good attitude, I will forgive you fifty times."

"Thank you, little grandpa."

"That's fine too, sir. What about me?"

Wan Lianxing glanced at his followers and said, "You still do it a hundred times."

The attendant said, "My Lord, my wrist is very thin. If I write too much, it will break."

"Don't bargain with me. If you say it a hundred times, it means a hundred times."

The follower kneeling in the middle disappeared in a flash. Cheng Feng thought that he didn't want to be punished and ran away. After all, he was good at Qinggong and catching him was as difficult as climbing to the sky. Unexpectedly, a clacking sound came from the room, and the follower stood beside Wan Lianxing and tilted his head to ask Wan Lianxing: "Can I also be exempted from fifty times?"

Wan Lianxing took out a handkerchief and rubbed his cheeks fiercely, as if he was going to rub the skin off. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth in hatred: "A hundred times, not once less."

"No, that's not fair. How about I kiss you again."

"If you dare, be careful or I'll hang you up and beat you." Wan Lianxing stood up angrily and ordered his servants, "Watch over the master and the disciple. Don't let them go until they finish copying the family rules."

The attendant immediately grabbed Wan Lianxing's sleeve and stopped him from leaving. "Please forgive me fifty times, or you can't leave."

Wan Lianxing threw his sleeves and said, "Stop being a scoundrel. If you don't obey my discipline, get out of here and go back to the governor's mansion."

As soon as Wan Lianxing left, the door was locked from the outside, and the attendant inside shouted, "If I wasn't afraid of you getting angry, you wouldn't be able to lock me up here."

Cheng Feng looked back at the locked door, "They can't come out, right?"

"Don't worry, they don't dare to come out."

"Let someone send them some food. I guess they haven't had dinner yet." No matter how annoying Cheng Youning was, Cheng Feng was still concerned about whether he was hungry.

Wan Lianxing wiped his cheeks with his handkerchief again with disgust on his face, "The master and disciple have a mouth full of the smell of roasted chicken. They must have eaten it in the mountains. Don't pay any attention to them."

The next morning.

Cheng Feng found Wan Lianxing and said, "Uncle, I have to take Shang Xi back."
