The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"My Lord, are you joking?"

"Have you ever seen me joke? If you want to leave, I can help you arrange it. But once you leave this country, I can't help you. You can only pursue your own future."

Ge Dongqing knelt in front of Wan Lianxing with tears of gratitude, "Thank you for saving me, Lord. I am willing to be your younger brother from now on, and I recognize you as my elder brother."

Ge Dongqing, who had not drunk for several years, was now drunk and had lost his ability to hold his liquor. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reveal his true feelings after just a few drinks and dared to call Wan Lianxing his brother.

Wan Lianxing burst into laughter and helped Ge Dongqing up.

"Why are you laughing, Lord? Do you look down on me, Ge Dongqing?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Even if you want to be my brother, then you should ask who is older between us."

Ge Dongqing said: "The Marquis is two years older than me."

"Oh? How do you know? I feel like you're older than me."

"No, no, I am just older, but actually younger than the Marquis."

"Do you know how old I am?"

"Thirty-seven, I'm thirty-five."

"You really know my age."

Ge Dongqing burped and said, "Many people are jealous of the Marquis's beauty. I was also jealous of the Marquis in the past, so I naturally know the Marquis's age. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle."

Wan Lianxing said: "In this case, you will be my brother from now on."

"You are my big brother."

Ge Dongqing was obviously drunk. He could only stand steady with the help of Wan Lianxing. He looked around and saw that there was only one person left in the room besides the drunk Chen Gongxiang, Huang Chenming. "Mr. Huang, please bear witness for the two of us. From now on, the Marquis and I will be brothers of different surnames who will share weal and woe."

Huang Chenming said, "I think Lord Ge is drunk. How can the oath of brotherhood be made verbally? I have never heard of witnesses."

"Mr. Huang is right. Come on, Lord, let's kneel down. This is the north, right?"

Wan Lianxing said, "North is in the direction behind you."

Ge Dongqing pulled Wan Lianxing around and said, "My Lord, our ancestors are all facing north. It is best for us to bow to the north."

Wan Lianxing had no choice but to accompany this man and both of them knelt on the ground. However, Ge Dongqing got up again soon. He went to the table and got a bowl of white wine and knelt beside Wan Lianxing again. He picked up one of Wan Lianxing's fingers and pulled it to his mouth. He opened his mouth and bit Wan Lianxing's fingertip, then squeezed two drops of blood into the bowl by pinching Wan Lianxing's fingertip. He then bit one of his own fingertips and dripped two drops of blood into the bowl, and forced Wan Lianxing to drink half a bowl. He drank half a bowl, and as soon as the wine went down his throat, he fell to the ground.

Huang Chenming looked at it and said, "The Marquis really has a huge appetite. He drank two of them in one meal."

Wan Lianxing said, "Stop talking nonsense. Call someone and bring him back to my house."

Huang Chenming had no choice but to do as he was told and returned to Wan Lianxing's house. Wan Lianxing, who had drunk a lot of wine, was still energetic and looked rosy-cheeked.

"Uncle, how come you drank so much in the middle of the day?" Cheng Feng stepped forward and supported Wan Lianxing.

Wan Lianxing said with a smile: "When I meet a good friend, a thousand cups are not enough. I am happy today."

"I can see you're happy. Who are these people?"

"The one being carried away is your uncle Ge, and this one is your nephew."

Shang Xi was basking in the sun in the yard. After hearing what Wan Lianxing said, she became interested. "I haven't heard that there are any relatives of our Wan family in Mochun County. Where did they get these from? How come one of them came in sideways and the other had a head injury?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Let the doctor in the mansion rebandage the child's wound first."

"How did this injury come about?"

Wan Lianxing said: "It's a long story. Let me go in and sit down before I tell you. Are you okay?"

Shang Xi said: "Thanks to my uncle, I am not going to die."

Wan Lianxing said: "Looking at your sharp-tongued expression, I know that you are fine."

Wan Lianxing waved towards Hong Yunrang, and Hong Yunrang came over, "Come here, kid, call someone, this is your uncle Cheng Feng, and this is your aunt Shang Xi."

Hong Yunrang followed Wan Lianxing's instructions and called out, "Meet Uncle Chengfeng, meet Aunt Shangxi."

"What's it called?"

"My nephew Hong Yunrang."

Wan Lianxing patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be shy. Their nephews are several years older than you. It's not a loss for you to be their nephew. I'm going back to my room first. If you have anything, go find your uncle Cheng Feng and aunt Shang Xi."

"Yes, Grandpa."

The word "grandfather" stunned everyone present. Wan Lianxing said, "You are a well-behaved child. Just follow your brother Cheng Youning's way of calling me grandpa."

"It's little grandpa."

Wan Lianxing nodded and said, "It sounds much better. Go ahead and ask your aunt to take you to see the doctor."

After entering the house, Wan Lianxing cried out that he was thirsty, and soon a pot of tea was brought over. Wan Lianxing took a sip and said, "Is it because I drank too much wine today that my tongue is numb, or what? Why does this water taste bad?"

"My Lord, the dew has been taken away by the young master."

"Where is Duan?"

Cheng Feng said, "Take it back to the room and save it for Shang Xi to drink."

"You are such a stinky boy, you are not filial at all."

Cheng Feng said: "Uncle, Shang Xi's stomach is really not good, you can give your dew to Shang Xi to drink."

Wan Lianxing said: "The dew is not a rare thing, just drink it, why take it away, at least leave some for me."

Cheng Feng said: "This water is good for you to drink. Shang Xi personally taught everyone how to filter it."

Wan Lianxing said, "Okay, I'll have a few drinks, but don't take all the dew away tomorrow, leave some for me."

"I will definitely leave half for you tomorrow. Uncle, who are those two people you brought back? Is that kid Hong Yunrang related to Hong Zhekai?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Of course it matters. It doesn't matter. Can I bring him back? This is Hong Zhekai's son."

Wan Lianxing told the story again, and Cheng Feng said, "You are really something. When you get angry, you let someone's son call you grandpa. The child is already grown up, how embarrassing it is."

Wan Lianxing said: "My nephew, you don't know that Hong Zhekai is very tough. I must subdue him."

Cheng Feng said: "You are not subduing him, you are pinching his weak spot. This is his eldest son. How can a poor man feel when he loses his eldest son?"

Wan Lianxing said, "If we force him into a desperate situation, he may not be useful. He is arrogant and looks down on me. He will not work for me willingly. The water conservancy project in Mochun County is a big project. It affects the whole system. It may seem to be a matter of Mochun County, but it will actually affect the entire Fengying County. Maybe the water will have to be brought from other counties. Without a talent like Hong Zhekai, no matter how much money we have, we can't build this huge water conservancy project."
