The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Don't worry about the money. Daddy will give you the silver to replace the glazed tiles."

"I've decided not to change it. No matter how beautiful the Prince's Mansion is, it's just a place for me to rest. It's dark by the time I return home every day. No matter how beautiful the glazed tiles are, I don't have time to appreciate them. As long as the roof doesn't leak, I'm fine. As for the glazed tiles, I won't consider them anymore."

Cheng Feng sighed for his son's exhaustion as a crown prince, and at the same time, he felt that Cheng Youning's reaction was a little unusual. At the age of four, this child knew how to go to the Wan family's business to withdraw money. Cheng Youning had never been short of money. When did his son learn to save money? "Son, don't you like those colorful and eye-catching things the most? Glazed tiles can be fired in many colors, which is very beautiful."

"I won't change it even if it's beautiful. Let's talk about it later. Daddy, change the ones at home first."

"Son, why does Daddy think you are abnormal?"

"Dad, you're overthinking it. All I can think about now is how to grow crops well."

"Son, if you can think about things in this down-to-earth way, Daddy will be happy for you." In Cheng Feng's eyes, Cheng Youning's big problems were small problems, and small problems were not problems. He reached out again and caressed Cheng Youning's head through his hat. "Son, what do you want to eat for lunch? Daddy will send someone to the city to buy it for you."

Cheng Youning turned his head and glanced at his own plot. There was a basket there with simple and rustic food, all cooked for him by Sister Wu. "I've brought some food, but I still have a cart of manure to shovel, so I probably won't be able to eat at noon."

Cheng Feng understood that Cheng Youning's stench had made him lose his appetite, not to mention how a clean-loving child could eat after fiddling with manure for the whole morning. However, this was physical work, and where would a person get the energy from if he didn't eat? So Cheng Feng still hoped that Cheng Youning would eat well for three meals a day.

"Son, Yuhua went to buy roast chicken. Ask her to save one for you later."

"Daddy, let alone roast chicken, I can't even eat roast goose. Daddy, I won't delay any longer. I have to go to work."

Seeing the strong-willed Cheng Youning pushing the manure cart away, Cheng Feng really wanted to go forward and help him. It took Cheng Youning more than an hour to go back and forth.

An hour later, Cheng Feng didn't bring Cheng Youning back, but Shang Xi came back with a horse whip in hand. She stood at the edge of the field and called out to Cheng Feng, "Cheng Feng, come and have dinner."

Cheng Feng dropped the hoe in his hand and walked towards Shang Xi. The two sat down under a big tree. "Have you agreed with Brother Mo? When can we get the glazed tiles?"

Shang Xi shook her head and said with some disappointment, "Don't worry about the glazed tiles."

"What's wrong? Isn't Brother Mo at Liulichang today?"

"Yes, yes, I not only met Brother Mo in Liulichang, I also met Huang Chenming."

"What is Huang Chenming doing in Liulichang?"

"My uncle wants to build a glazed tower for Lingchen Temple. The entire Liuli Factory is working day and night to get the materials. I heard that my uncle suggested that the entire tower should be made of glazed glass. It will cost a huge amount of money and take a long time."

"The project is so big, so why not let Lingchen Temple be placed in the back? Let's make some glazed tiles for our palace first. We use less materials and the materials we use are simpler."

"The emperor has ordered Huang Chenming to handle both, so our palace has to be ranked last."

"The very last? Is there someone else in front of us? Can we discuss it? If we can't be placed in front of Lingchen Temple, then we can be placed behind Lingchen Temple. We don't want other materials, we just want glazed tiles. Is this difficult to do?"

"It's very difficult. The person in front of us is an important person."

"Oh, no matter how big it is, can it be bigger than our Prince Pang's Mansion?"

"Isn't it bigger than our Prince Pang's Mansion? He is the current emperor. Tell me, is it bigger?"

"Uncle? What is he going to do now?"

"Repair the palace!"

"We're at war right now, and it's a bit too ostentatious for my uncle to build a palace with such fanfare."

"When has he never shown off? Let him repair it first. We are not in a hurry. It doesn't matter whether our palace is repaired or not." Shang Xi picked up a steamed bun, but felt that she had no appetite and threw it back into the basket. "What kind of thing is this? My son is digging manure, and we are swinging hoes. We are worse off than ordinary people. Ordinary people don't have anyone to say anything to or care about them. But look at us. Ever since you returned to your ancestral home, you have to listen to your parents at home and your uncle outside. I have no human rights at all."

Cheng Feng listened while stuffing his food with a smile, "Wife, you are the same as our son. You want to quit after doing a little work. But our son is better than you. It's true that he loses his temper, but he really works. Look at you, you haven't done much work, but you are so angry. If you really can't do it, you should go home and lie down."

"The imperial decree has been issued. Do I dare to go back and lie down?"

"Isn't it my uncle who issued the imperial decree? How can my uncle force our family of three into a desperate situation? What are you afraid of? As long as Cheng Youning and I continue to work here, you can take a break. My uncle won't treat you like us. You hold a very high position in his heart. Pack up and go home to lie down. If you get heatstroke in this hot weather, you will suffer."

Shang Xi shook her head. "You and your son are working here, how can I stay at home and relax?"

Just as the couple was chatting, Big Eyes and a few children came. Big Eyes looked at Cheng Feng and his friends' food, his throat moving. It was obvious that he was greedy. Cheng Feng said, "Don't look, there's no portion for you guys."

"We didn't want to eat your food."

"Then why are you surrounding me?" This was the first time Cheng Feng realized how popular he was with children. He was tall and had an intimidating look, so normally strange children would stay away from him. But these past few days, it was the other way around, with children looking for him every day.

Big Eyes explained, "It wasn't me who told us to keep it a secret yesterday."

"I didn't say that either?"

"..."

Everyone came out to make excuses. It would have been fine if they hadn't mentioned this, but now that they did, Cheng Feng lost the appetite.

"You all deny it. Did I tell anyone about this?" Cheng Feng waved his hand to let the matter go, and then started to chase the children away. "Go away! Don't bother me. It's so hot."

"...The roast chicken you mentioned last night is still...still available?" The one who spoke was the man with big eyes whose age could not be determined. It took a lot of courage for him to say that. He was a little afraid of Cheng Feng from the beginning to the end, even though Cheng Feng took the initiative to apply medicine on his wound.

Cheng Feng helping him doesn't mean Cheng Feng likes him.
