The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi and Yu Hua exchanged a glance, and Shang Xi spoke frankly, "Since you're looking for a husband, you can't cheat. The prince's niece was married off once but was rejected. Later, she was displaced and thrown into a brothel by a trafficker for a while. She developed a madness, but it rarely flared up, so it's been cured. She's a miserable woman."

The four matchmakers acted like they were acting, all of them took out their handkerchiefs to wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes. If you say they were acting, they really had tears. If you say they were not acting, Shang Xi's words were not enough to make them sympathize with He Ye to this extent.

Shang Xi continued, "Please use your connections and relationships to find an honest man from an ordinary family for my niece."

Matchmaker Wang, who was in the lead, said, "Please rest assured, Princess. We will take care of this matter. Within three days, I will let you see the person."

Shang Xi smiled: "It would be great if it could be done so quickly. I also hope that this matter can be settled before the New Year, Yuhua."

With a glance from Shang Xi, the four matchmakers received the reward money from Yuhua, and then the four matchmakers from the imperial city were released.

……

Cheng Feng strode to the entrance of the Yangxin Palace.

"Qiao Rong greets you, Prince!"

Cheng Feng stopped and looked at Qiao Rong, whose eyes were wandering around. He reached out and hooked the pearl necklace around his neck, "Why are you wearing this thing too?"

Qiao Rong lowered her head shyly, staring at the tip of her shoe. She said sheepishly, "The prince told me to wear it. He said all the young men wore pearls. He said wearing pearls is our custom as beggars. If he wears it, I have to wear it too."

Because Fengqi is rich in pearls, men, women, young and old wearing pearls can be seen everywhere on the streets. This thing is a treasure in other countries, but in Fengqi it is almost like bricks and tiles. A child can pick up a handful of pearls by touching two clams in the river. But this thing looks awkward hanging on the neck of the cold Qiao Rong.

Cheng Feng lowered his head again and saw that Qiao Rong's shoes were inlaid with a circle of pearls. Each one was plump and round, just enough to circle the shoe surface.

Seeing Cheng Feng observing his shoes, Qiao Rong embarrassedly took small steps, wanting to hide his feet but having nowhere to hide.

"Did that brat Youning force you to wear this?"

Qiao Rong nodded with a bitter face: "If I don't wear these shoes, the prince won't let me go out with him, saying that a follower should act like a follower."

"What a good boy." Cheng Feng had never seen a follower dressed like this before. He tilted his head and walked into the Yangxin Palace.

Cheng Feng greeted Wan Lianxing, who waved at him, "Feng'er, come over and have dinner."

There were four people at the table, with his attendant on Wan Lianxing's left, Cheng Youning on his right, and Suiying in front.

You Ning stood up and poured wine for Cheng Feng attentively, "Dad, why did you come just now? We have been eating for a while."

"I came here as soon as I received your bird message. It will take at most an incense stick of time."

Cheng Youning calculated the time and said, "What's wrong? I asked it to deliver the letter to Daddy this morning. It seems it's been lazy again. I'll see how I deal with it later."

Cheng Feng reached out and hooked the eye-catching pearl necklace around Cheng Youning's neck. "Don't you find it heavy hanging around your neck? You can wear it if you want, but what did you give Qiao Rong? And what's with Qiao Rong's shoes? Don't you know the difference between beauty and ugliness now? You dressed him up in a weird and uncouth way. You've lost all your masculinity. It's unbecoming."

Wan Lianxing was taken aback and said, "Why are you scolding me during dinner? You're the last one to arrive. Hurry up and eat while it's hot."

Cheng Feng lifted Youning's calf, revealing her feet. Then, looking at the pair of unbearable shoes on Cheng Youning's feet, Cheng Feng was speechless. "Uncle, look at your grandson, what are he wearing!"

Cheng Youning's pair of small shoes were inlaid with tiny pearls. Cheng Feng roughly estimated that there were no less than six or seven hundred of them.

Cheng Youning chuckled and even boasted to Cheng Feng, "Dad, I hired someone to make this pair of shoes for a month."

Cheng Feng said earnestly, "Youning, you can't dress like this. It looks shabby and ugly."

Of the five people at the table, only Cheng Feng and Wan Lianxing were laughing.

Suiying pointed under the table and said, "Prince, look under the table again!"

"What's under the table... Oh my God, uncle, why are you wearing a pair of pearl shoes too?"

Wan Lianxing glared at the talkative and smirking Suiying, and secretly tucked the thing on his wrist inside.

Cheng Feng had sharp eyes and raised his hand to hook the pearl bracelet on Wan Lianxing's wrist. "Uncle, what are you wearing?"

Wan Lianxing slapped Cheng Feng's hand away without blushing or beating his heart, and slowly picked up a crab leg and licked it, "Youning spent a lot of money to make this for me, and he kept making trouble when I didn't wear it. What can I do? I'll just wear it for peace and quiet."

"Uncle, the pearl shoes on your feet weren't also made by Cheng Youning, right?"

Cheng Youning chuckled, "Daddy, if you like, I can make a pair for you."

Cheng Feng picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He needed to calm down. "Such a good thing, you grandparents should use it. It's better for ordinary people like us to keep it clean. Eh? Such a sumptuous crab feast, why is my Uncle Ge not here?"

Just talking about this guy makes his appetite whet. Wan Lianxing dropped the crab legs in his hand, picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and then wiped his hands vigorously, "Your uncle Ge is at home having a night out."

Cheng Feng put down his chopsticks as soon as he took a mouthful of crab paste. "What do you mean, my uncle Ge has taken a concubine again?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Taking a concubine is nothing, but your uncle Ge specifically looks for concubines among the lower classes. Does that mean that wealthy families don't have any young ladies?"

"Isn't it another woman from the brothel?"

Wan Lianxing picked up his wine glass, thought for a moment, and said, "What kind of cabinet? They know it clearly. I heard it all from them."

Suiying spoke quickly, "Xiuxian Pavilion!"

Cheng Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "Isn't that a brothel? Xiuxian Pavilion is also a famous brothel with high-class prostitutes. Could it be that my uncle Ge has married the top prostitute again?"

Suiying chuckled, "You're right. I went to see her last night. She looks about the same as Fuliu, and can write poems and couplets effortlessly. However, there's one thing Fuliu can't compare to: Linglan from Xiuxian Pavilion."

"It's not because he's young."

Fu Liu is the most talented woman. She is not only beautiful but also talented. If she is not a bad person, she will definitely be Ge Dongqing's only confidante.

Knowing that he was fooled by Fu Liu, Ge Dongqing was reluctant to drive her out of the Ge Mansion. Instead, he kicked out his first wife. Lu Siniang's departure seemed to be Fu Liu's victory, but he did not win completely in beating her. She squeezed Lu Siniang out, but lost the hearts of the people. Ge Dongqing treated her differently than before, and soon took two concubines after her.
