The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Who is my second brother? Ask him to come down the mountain to see you."

Cheng Feng said, "I'm in a hurry. If I go back late, it will be a hindrance. Either I pay you fifty taels and you let us go, or you call your second brother down and I will talk to him face to face if we have anything to say."

When the man heard this, he said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to invite our second brother."

An incense stick of time had passed, and their second brother came with his men. When he saw Cheng Feng, he pointed at him and said, "Cheng Feng, I knew it was you. It really is you. Why don't you go up the mountain now that you are here? You have to call me down."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Second brother, your people won't let us go, so we have to trouble you to go down the mountain yourself."

The second brother said, "It was all my idea. I asked them to keep you here. Why didn't you come up the mountain to find me when you came? I have asked people to prepare the wine and food, and I am just waiting for you to bring people up to the feast."

Cheng Feng said, "Second brother, how did you know that I was passing by your precious place today?"

The second brother said, "My people told me when you passed by here that day. I heard it and thought, who else could it be? It must be the Marquis's eldest nephew, Master Cheng, who came from Fengying. I calculated that you would come back in the next two days."

Cheng Feng said, "You are a wicked man. You asked me for fifty taels right away."

The second brother said, "Isn't this forcing you to go up the mountain and drink?"

Cheng Feng said, "I'm busy today, I'll come back another day."

The second brother pulled Cheng Feng and said, "What do you mean today or another day? I have prepared the wine and food. Bring your people up the mountain and join me in the fun."

"Second brother, it's really impossible."

The second brother said: "Why are you so stubborn? You are more arrogant than Cangman. When Cangman came to my place, he just treated my place as his home."

Cheng Feng asked: "Is Cangman here?"

The second brother said, "He is here. Didn't he go back to his hometown to pick up his wife and children some time ago? He stayed with me on this mountain for several days before leaving. He is a cheerful person who drinks and eats meat with big mouthfuls. He is not like you who are arrogant and hard to please."

Cheng Feng explained: "Second brother, it's not that I'm arrogant, it's because of a reason. I came out to do something for my uncle, and I can't delay."

When the second brother heard that he was doing something for the Marquis, he didn't dare to pester Cheng Feng anymore, "The Marquis's business can't be delayed, how is the Marquis?"

Cheng Feng said: "My uncle is very good, but he is very busy with official duties."

The second brother said, "I'm still thinking about going to the mansion to see the Marquis in a few days. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I still miss him a little bit."

"Then go ahead, it's a good opportunity for you to accompany my uncle and relieve his boredom." Cheng Feng complained in his heart. This man had actually only met Wan Lianxing once, and they had spoken very few words to each other. How could he be thinking about his uncle?

The second brother said, "To relieve his boredom, we need to ask the Marquis to come out. Let him stay on my mountain for a few days. I have good wine and good food here. I will accompany the Marquis."

Cheng Feng said, "Okay, I will definitely tell my second brother what he said when I get back. I'll take my leave now. If I go back late, my uncle will blame me."

The second brother said, "Since you are here to work for the Marquis, I will not keep you here, but I want to ask you about someone."

Cheng Feng asked: "Who is it?"

The second brother lowered his voice and said, "Lu Si Niang."

"Oh, Lu Si Niang."

"How is she?"

"Okay, I've been living in the prefect's mansion, and now I'm working for my uncle."

The second brother asked mysteriously, "Fourth Mother, did you mention me?"

Cheng Feng said: "I had little contact with her and barely exchanged more than a few words."

The second brother said, "Please ask her for me this time. There are many rules in the Marquis' Mansion. If she can't get used to it, let her come to my mountain to manage things and ask her if she agrees. I need a wife here."

Cheng Feng suppressed his laughter and said, "Second brother, I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

"There's something wrong."

"Lu Si Niang is getting married."

"What?" His roar made the women in the car tremble with fear. Zhu'er whispered, "This bandit leader's loud voice is too scary."

Zhong Siyu patted Zhu'er's hand, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Cheng Feng chatted with his second brother for a few more words before everyone got on the carriage and continued on their journey.

It was already evening when we arrived at the Marquis's Mansion.

Shi Hongshang sat there and talked to Wan Lianxing, while Cheng Youning sat next to Wan Lianxing and ignored Cheng Feng and Shang Xi.

Cheng Fenggen handed the things he bought from Fengying to Cheng Youning as if he was presenting a treasure, "Son, look what delicious food Daddy bought for you."

Cheng Youning ignored him, so Cheng Feng asked Qiao Rong to carry him over.

Qiao Rong said, "Young Master, the Master and his wife bought you some delicious cakes from Chaizhou."

Cheng Youning just remained silent.

Cheng Feng took out another package: "Son, this is Chaizhou's braised chicken. I heard it's delicious."

Cheng Youning still looked as if he didn't raise his head or open his eyes.

Cheng Feng took out another paper bag, took out a small candy bean from it and stuffed it into Cheng Youning's mouth. Cheng Youning burst out laughing and said, "You hit my teeth. They are going to fall out."

Cheng Feng opened Cheng Youning's mouth and checked it carefully. "It's okay, the little teeth are strong."

Cheng Youning was made to giggle by Cheng Feng, and Cheng Feng said, "I'm just touching your little teeth, what are you laughing at?"

Cheng Youning said: "I'm afraid you'll break my little teeth."

Cheng Feng said, "Silly son, all your little teeth will fall out sooner or later."

When Cheng Youning heard this, he was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth. After that, no matter how Cheng Feng explained the matter of the child's tooth loss, Cheng Youning kept his mouth tightly shut, for fear that his father would touch his little white teeth.

Shang Xi found two packages of snacks from Chaizhou and handed them to Ge Dongqing. "Uncle Ge, these are snacks from Chaizhou. The two boxes of snacks you sent to Si Niang last time were swapped by Cheng Youning. Cheng Feng and I went to Chaizhou and bought two boxes for Si Niang based on the snacks you sent last time. You can send them to Si Niang."

Ge Dongqing said: "I won't go. I don't want to see her."

Cheng Feng said, "Uncle Ge, you two will be husband and wife from now on. You will see each other every day. Don't be so hostile to Lu Siniang. You will be a family from now on. Go and build up your relationship with Lu Siniang, and she will treat you well in the future."

Ge Dongqing waved his hand and said, "I won't go. If she treats me badly, I will divorce her."

Normally he wouldn't have the courage to say such big words, but he saw many people sitting in the hall, including Shi Hongshang who came from Chaizhou, so he acted tough here. Although he still had a wound on his face, it didn't stop him from bragging here.

Shang Xi said, "Then you guys drink tea first. I'll go and deliver the things to Si Niang. I have to go there once or twice. These are Si Niang's dowry. There are also some food here that I bought for the girls in the West Courtyard."

Cheng Feng said, "Go ahead and come back early. Dinner will be served soon."

"I know."
