The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1458 Outside the North City Gate

Cheng Youning's performance of hard work and perseverance is so vivid that people have to look at him differently.

The next day.

Inside Prince Pang's mansion, Yuhua was sitting in the yard, stringing a rosary in her hand.

As Cheng Feng walked by, he found that Yuhua's eyes, which seemed particularly large due to her sudden weight loss, were very hollow and bottomless. Even a grown man like him felt scared when he saw them.

He waved to Shang Xi who was sitting beside him, and Shang Xi came over.

Shang Xi has also been sad about the Chen family's affairs these days. The Han family from North City and a group of people who help make shoes in the mansion have joined. Shang Xi is busy all day and has lost weight, but her situation is a hundred times better than Yuhua's. After all, it was Yuhua who lost her relatives. Although the Chen family has done them favors, they are not as heartbroken as Yuhua.

"Wife, Yuhua can't do this. After going to Lingchen Temple, how can he still be obsessed with beads? If this goes on for too long, he will become a monk."

"Master Daoqing gave it to me. I haven't let go of it for the past two days. I guess counting the beads gives my soul some comfort." Shang Xi couldn't explain it. In the past, only Madam Wan counted on the beads in this mansion all day long. Now Yuhua has joined the family. Shang Xi didn't know whether to take the beads from Yuhua's hand.

"Wife, Yuhua will go crazy sooner or later if she continues like this."

"Who said it wasn't true? I was afraid that she would go crazy, so I stayed here with her! But who can comfort her in this matter? Whoever gets into this situation will suffer a lot."

"People are dead. No matter how sad you are, they can't come back to life. The living have to live on. What else can you do?"

Shang Xi looked at Cheng Feng vigorously, "Don't let Yuhua hear it, she is very honest. If she commits suicide again after you remind her, how will you explain it to Brother Chen later?"

"She is like a living dead person now. This won't work. If she doesn't wait for Brother Cheng to come, she will go crazy. Take her out for a walk. She is going to become stupid."

Shang Xi looked at Yuhua, her eyes full of worry, "I'm afraid she won't go out with me."

"Counting the days, Brother Chen and his friends will be here soon. You took her out for a walk on the pretext of going out to meet Brother Chen and his friends. I think this person is going crazy."

"Your idea is good, but what about my family, the Han family, and those shoemakers?"

"We don't know how long my uncle and his family will stay in our house. You don't have to worry about them. The shoemakers have maids and He Ye, so you don't have to worry about them. Just take Yuhua and go out without worry."

"My uncle and his family will be staying in our house for a long time, so it shouldn't be difficult to buy a mansion. What kind of mansion does he want? I'm familiar with Fengying City, and I know there are several mansions waiting to be sold. We can move in after a little renovation."

"Wife, don't mention the mansion in front of my mother and the Han family."

Shang Xi nodded, "Yes, it seems that we are in a hurry to ask them to move. It's up to them. But if they ask you, just tell me. I know where there is a good house."

Shang Xi is an architect by profession and has a keen interest in architecture, so if she says a house is good, she must be right.

Cheng Feng said: "No matter how great the mansion is, they won't move away easily."

"Why? I think my uncle's family, except Han Nianxia, are all shameless and won't stay for long." Shang Xi had a good impression of the Han family. They were all well-educated and sensible.

"It's only been five days since we settled down, and my uncle and aunt have already mentioned to my mother twice that my eldest cousin is going to join the government."

"You're so anxious, I think mother will recommend her! It can be seen that mother cares about her family very much."

"Her brother's son is her eldest nephew. She must want to bring her family over, but her uncle hasn't come recently."

"Yeah, I would have ignored it if you hadn't mentioned it. Why hasn't my uncle come over recently?"

"There are so many people in our house, my uncle is definitely not willing to come. He is probably afraid that my mother will introduce him to the Han family."

Shang Xi nodded, "Mother will definitely introduce the Han family to my uncle. I think my uncle will sell mother's face, but if I don't have real talent, it will definitely be a nominal position and will not be used. Why bother?"

"A nominal position is also an official position. Merchants pay a lot of taxes and have a low status. Which merchant family doesn't want to have someone serve as an official in the court?"

"That's true. In the kite incident, two-thirds of the people who came to your son to buy an official position were merchants. But my uncle is too cunning. He can know what the Han family and mother are thinking just by sitting on the dragon throne."

"Who would miss such an opportunity?"

"How can you be an official without real talent and knowledge? My uncle places great emphasis on talent and knowledge."

Cheng Feng leaned over to Shang Xi's ear and whispered, "My eldest cousin wants to be my uncle's father-in-law."

"King Zhang?"

Cheng Feng couldn't help but smiled, but he didn't dare laugh out loud.

This mansion was like a dividing line. Wherever Yuhua was, there was a gloomy atmosphere. Everyone kept their mouths shut, with serious and sympathetic looks on their faces. They even walked very carefully, not daring to make any sound, for fear of disturbing Yuhua who was unable to extricate herself from her grief.

Places outside Yuhua were the same as usual, especially after the Han family came, which added a lot of laughter and joy to Madam Wan, and also brought a lot of popularity to the huge palace.

Shang Xi patted Cheng Feng's arm to stop him from laughing. "Can anyone become the father-in-law of the emperor? That depends on one's family background. Besides, my uncle is averse to women. It doesn't make any difference to him whether he has women or not. Look at the queen, she is glamorous and dazzling, second only to the emperor, but I guess she is just living a life of widowhood. Mother should know more than us, right? How could she agree to let the girl of the Han family enter the palace as a concubine? Unless this person likes my uncle and is willing to sacrifice her life for him like Zhong Siyu, it would be a tragedy for her to marry my uncle."

Cheng Feng said: "What mother and the Han family want is nothing more than the emperor as a backer. Whether it is a tragedy or not is a small matter."

“That’s too realistic!”

"With fame and fortune right before our eyes, how can we not be realistic? It's possible to be awarded an official position, but I don't think it's possible to become the father-in-law of the emperor."

"If my uncle knew that so many people were plotting against him, he would be so angry that he would die."

"So he hasn't come to the palace for several days. I guess he's afraid of my mother." After saying that, Cheng Feng couldn't help laughing again.

"Old fox, he's such a thief." After saying this, Shang Xi returned to Yuhua and said to her that Brother Chen and his party would be arriving in the next few days, and asked Yuhua if she wanted to go to the city gate to welcome them.

When Yuhua heard this, she reacted immediately. She took Shang Xi's hand and said, "Let's go quickly. I want to see them as soon as possible."

Shang Xi made three rules: "Then let's agree in advance that we will come back before the sun sets. If you want to go, we can go tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

Yuhua nodded and agreed.
