The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi said: "I have made an agreement with Zhong Siyu that I will go to the street with her."

Cheng Feng scratched his head and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Okay, you guys go ahead. I have a lot of work to do. I'll go to the mountain and keep an eye on it."

As soon as Cheng Feng left, Zhong Siyu arrived with Zhu'er, "Shang Xi, can we go now?"

Shang Xi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's take two carriages today and buy whatever is good."

Zhong Siyu smiled and said, "It's just the two of us. Don't we need to find someone who understands to go with us?"

Shang Xi patted his chest again, "I am an intelligent person. I arranged the weddings of my good friend Yuhua and my sister and Boss Qian, and I bought all the things myself."

Zhong Siyu pulled Shang Xi and said, "Shang Xi, you are really capable."

Shang Xi said: "What's the big deal? Let me tell you, there is something fishy about this."

Zhong Siyu asked: "What's the point?"

Shang Xi said: "For this thing, just buy the red ones. Buy whatever red one you like. The ones with the Chinese character for happiness are the best. You can't go wrong with this way."

Zhong Siyu believed it.

The two of them walked out of the house chatting and laughing. As Shang Xi had intended, two carriages followed them.

Zhong Siyu looked at the people on the street and said, "Shang Xi, there are so many people on this street."

Shang Xi said, "You don't go out on the street all the time, right? When I came back from Mochun County, this city was already so lively."

Zhong Siyu shook her head and said, "I seldom go out."

Shang Xi said: "You are just lazy. We live in the same house, but I hardly see you once a day. I really don't know what you do in your yard?"

Zhong Siyu said: "Besides talking to Madam Wan every day, I work as a needleworker in my own yard."

Shang Xi said, "Why bother with that? It's so boring. Why don't you go out and walk around the street? There's a restaurant here that makes delicious duck food."

Before buying anything, Shang Xi took Zhong Siyu to the stall selling duck products to eat duck products.

Zhong Siyu took a look and knew that Cheng Youning was just like Shang Xi. He would eat different kinds of delicious food when he went out. However, she had to admit that the food here was not the same as that cooked by the chef in the mansion. The food cooked by the chef in the mansion was very delicate, but this street stall had its own unique flavor.

Shang Xi added, "Siyu, there's a vendor selling sugar cakes over there. They don't look very good, but Cheng Youning eats them every time he goes out. Do you want to go and try them?"

Zhong Siyu said, "Are you still eating? We had lunch this morning before we came out."

Shang Xi said, "This street snack doesn't take up much space. Let's go. I want to try the sugar cake, too. I want to see what's so attractive about that black thing."

Zhong Siyu thought to herself that she and Cheng Youning were really mother and son, both were so greedy.

Zhong Siyu was pulled over by Shang Xi. When she looked at the sugar cake, it was indeed black, and the oil in the pot was still emitting black smoke. Zhong Siyu whispered, "Shang Xi, can we eat it if it's so black?"

Shang Xi said, "It's edible. Cheng Youning always eats it. Let's not eat too much. Let's each try one. I want to see what's so attractive about this cake that Cheng Youning always thinks about it."

Zhu Er took a bite first and said in admiration, "Miss, it's no wonder that the young master loves to eat it. This cake is so delicious."

After taking a bite, Zhong Siyu nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious. Although the outer shell is crispy and black, the inside is soft and sweet."

Shang Xi said as she ate, "Cheng Youning really knows how to eat. He dug out such a black thing. If I had known, I would not have eaten the braised duck feet just now. I should have eaten two sugar cakes instead."

Zhong Siyu said: "Delicious food is hard to come by, one is just right."

Shang Xi nodded, "Then let's go have a big bowl of tea."

Zhong Siyu had no choice but to accompany him.

After eating and drinking, Shang Xi said, "Siyu, let's go shopping."

After walking two streets in a row, Shang Xi's heart was completely cold. She was a little worried, "This thing is too bad. There is nothing good like it. If I buy this thing back, I won't be able to complete the task at all."

Zhong Siyu said, "These are the only things you can find in the city. The things in other counties are probably even worse. If you want to buy good things, you have to go to Fengying County."

Shang Xi said: "Si Yu, you have reminded me. My uncle attaches great importance to this matter and has repeatedly asked me to do it well. If I do it casually, I will be the first one to be offended by my uncle."

Zhu Er pouted and said, "Isn't this Mr. Ge a person who was demoted and exiled? Why does the Marquis treat him so well? Why hasn't he mentioned the matter between him and my young lady yet?"

Shang Xi smiled and said, "I can't handle the matter between my uncle and your daughter. My mother-in-law has to do it herself. But don't worry, my mother-in-law knows what's going on. She's more anxious than you are."

Zhong Siyu patted Shang Xi and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not in a hurry. I already live in this prefectural governor's mansion. Why should I be in a hurry? Although I don't have any official status, I can see the marquis if I want."

Shang Xi said, "That's right. Good things are worth waiting for, especially for someone like the Marquis. He doesn't covet beauty or flirt with other women. You can rest assured that you will be the top lady in the Marquis's mansion. You may even be the only one in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion."

Zhong Siyu patted Shang Xi again, "What nonsense are you talking about? The Marquis will have to take a concubine sooner or later. How can I serve the Marquis well by myself?"

Shang Xi said: "It's useless for you to know the general situation. If the Marquis needed someone to serve him, he wouldn't have arranged a marriage between Hong Jiutong and my son."

Zhong Siyu asked, "Who is Hong Jiutong? Didn't Cheng Youning have an arranged marriage with the daughter of Chen Gongxiang, the county magistrate?"

Shang Xi said, "Humph, the Marquis wanted to make his job as a prefect easier and less stressful, so he threw Cheng Youning out. So far, he has arranged three marriages for Cheng Youning."

"what?"

Shang Xi said: "That's not the point. Chen Gongxiang's daughter is four years older than my son."

Zhong Siyu said: "I know about this."

Shang Xi said: "Did you know that Hong Zhekai's daughter Hong Jiubi is nine years older than my son?"

Zhong Siyu was surprised again: "What? Nine years old, this girl is fourteen years old now, and she is ready to get married."

Shang Xi said, "Isn't that right? This is a very tricky matter. When my Cheng Youning grows up, the girl will be even older. I'm afraid Cheng Youning will lose his conscience and delay the girl's return."

Shang Xi sighed, "To put it bluntly, my uncle should have taken Hong Jiutong in, and my Cheng Youning should not have anything to do with this."

Zhong Siyu said: "You are so eloquent, why did you agree to this marriage at that time?"

Shang Xi said: "I am also doing this for myself. You all know my uncle. He is very good at taking advantage of people's weaknesses. If Cheng Feng and I don't agree to this marriage, he will force Cheng Feng to marry Hong Jiutong. With such a threat, Cheng Feng and I can only give up our son."
