The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

When they returned, the buns were already wrapped. The fifth sister-in-law complained to the fifth brother, "Why did it take so long to get the water? It's almost daybreak now. If you go too late, who will you sell the buns to?"

The fifth brother said, "You don't know how difficult it is to get water here, but it's not as convenient as our North City."

While they were talking, a few of them scooped water into the pot and prepared to heat it up.

At this time, Wan Lianxing, who was sleeping, heard someone talking to him, "My Lord, are you awake?"

Wan Lianxing frowned and said, "I got up when I woke up. How can I stay in bed?"

Suiying stuck his head into the curtain of Wanlianxing's house and said, "Then don't sleep. I have something to report."

Wan Lianxing turned over and ignored the shadow following him.

Suiying looked at Wan Lianxing's back, sat down on the bed, stretched his head and said to Wan Lianxing: "I really have something to report."

A wave of hot air spread over Wan Lianxing's ears. He rubbed his ears and had to lie face up. "What can I report at this time?"

Suiying said: "It's about the eldest son of the Wan family."

Wan Lianxing had no choice but to sit up and lean against the head of the bed, "What happened to Cheng Feng?"

Suiying said, "You still don't know anything about him, right?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Do you know that I don't know? I haven't seen Cheng Feng for two days. I don't know what he is busy with."

Suiying said, "Hey, he has been busy day and night these past two days."

Wan Lianxing, who hadn't slept well yet, had no patience. "Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me."

"My Lord, what kind of relationship is this person from his hometown to you?"

"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"

"It's not that they're causing trouble. Yesterday, they went to the street and bought a lot of things, but none of them were valuable."

Wan Lianxing rubbed his temple and said, "Didn't you tell me about this yesterday? I know everything."

Suiying said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let me talk slowly."

Wan Lianxing said, "If it's not an emergency, why are you asking me to get up at this hour? I've been energized by what you said, and you said it's not an emergency. Are you looking for a fight? Suixing, come here."

Suiying said: "We were just talking peacefully, why did you call Suixing?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Look at you, you're annoying."

Suiying said mysteriously: "You are still annoying me, but I am here to give you the news, first-hand information."

Wan Lianxing said: "As soon as I saw you, I knew it was nothing serious. Your information must be worthless."

"Hey, it's a big deal, a big deal about your nephew." Wan Lianxing wanted to lie down, but Suiying pulled him back.

Wan Lianxing said: "He is under my nose every day, what big deal can happen to him? Give me my quilt."

At this time, the entourage had already come in, "My Lord, what's the matter?"

Wan Lianxing said, "He disturbed my sweet dreams and snatched my quilt. Please get him away. I am upset to see him."

Sui Xing looked at Sui Ying, who was holding the quilt in one hand and holding Wan Lian Xing in the other, and said, "Why are you not resting in your room at this time, but running to the Marquis' bed?"

Suiying said, "Aren't there people coming from the young master's hometown? I'll keep an eye on them for the marquis."

The attendant said, "They are not thieves. Do you need to watch them? Who gave you the order to watch them?"

"Do I need instructions? I am thinking about what the Marquis is thinking and what the Marquis is anxious about. You came at the right time. I was looking for you. The two people in the young master's hometown acted strangely and did things mysteriously. We have to go and interrogate them. They didn't sleep in their courtyard in the middle of the night, but ran to the courtyard of the young master and the young mistress."

"As for this matter, please explain it in detail." Wan Lianxing then sat up straight, his face becoming more serious.

Suiying said, "You didn't want to listen, did you? And you said my information was not worth mentioning."

Wan Lianxing said, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what's going on."

Suiying said: "Those two people are very strange. They didn't sleep in the middle of the night and kept chopping things in the kitchen of the young master's courtyard. They kept chopping for a long time."

Wan Lianxing's face changed when he heard it, "What are you chopping? Are Cheng Feng and Shang Xi safe?" Wan Lianxing's first reaction was: Could these two people be killing and dismembering someone in the kitchen?

"It's safe. Just now Cheng Feng and he sneaked into the dining hall to fetch water."

When Wan Lianxing heard Suiying say this, his mood fluctuated, "Let's get to the point, what are they doing?"

Suiying said: "It should be cooking."

When Wan Lianxing heard this, he had never encountered such a confusing thing. This matter was indeed strange. He wondered who these two people from his hometown were. At this time, he didn't want to sleep anymore. "It's really weird. Cooking so early? Who is hungry? Who are you feeding? Help me change my clothes, I'll go and see."

Suiying smiled smugly, "I told you it was a big deal, but you still didn't believe me."

Wan Lianxing said, "It may not be a big deal, but their behavior is a little weird and hard to understand. I'd better go and interrogate them in person to feel at ease."

Sui Xing sighed and said, "My Lord, don't listen to Sui Ying's fuss. He is just making buns in the yard."

“Making dumplings?”

"Yes, Bao Baozi, the patrolling guard came to tell me a long time ago."

Wan Lianxing was already standing on the ground. "I'll go take a look and see what these people are doing."

Wan Lianxing walked out neatly dressed, followed by his left and right arms. The buns were already out of the pot and were being picked into the basket one by one.

Cheng Feng smiled when he turned around: "Uncle, why are you here?"

Wan Lianxing said, "I haven't seen you for two days. Let's see what you are doing at home."

Cheng Feng walked forward, pulled Wan Lianxing and said, "Someone is coming from my hometown."

"who?"

"Uncle, you already know about this, right?" Cheng Feng said to the busy people, "Fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law, my uncle is here."

When he heard that the Marquis was coming, the buns in the fifth brother's hand fell into the basket. He wiped his hands on the apron around his waist twice, then ran over and knelt on the ground. The fifth sister-in-law followed behind him trembling with fear.

"Greetings to the Marquis."

"No need to perform such a grand ceremony, get up."

The fifth brother and his wife stood up one after another, and waited for the Marquis's decision.

"Where are you from?"

"I am from Li Village in the north city."

"What's it called?"

"Li Laowu, she is my wife."

Wan Lianxing nodded and said, "Don't be so reserved. I just came to take a look. I heard that your courtyard got up in the middle of the night."

Li Laowu said: "I got up at the hour of Yin."

Suiying said, "No, you got up before the Yin hour. You were all in the dining hall fetching water at the Yin hour."

Li Laowu scratched his head and said, "I remembered it wrongly."

Wan Lianxing asked, "What are you fetching water for?"

"Steamed buns?"

Suiying said seriously, "Where are the buns?" In fact, the fragrance of the buns had already filled the entire yard, and they smelled the fragrance as soon as they entered the yard.
