In the evening, Cheng Zeli, Cheng Laowu and uncle Zhang Shizhong walked out of the palace talking and laughing.

Don’t be fooled by the empty entrance of the palace. There is no one there except the guards guarding the gate.

In fact, there are many spies from major families hiding in the dark, like poisonous snakes lurking in the grass, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

They all saw the three of them returning to Cheng's house together.

On the second day, the news that General Pingdong and the Lord of Xiaoyao City were brothers spread like wildfire, as if it had wings, and quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The news about the two outstanding people in the Cheng family soon became a topic of conversation among people after dinner.

The Cheng family finally appeared in people's sight, like a bright pearl, emitting dazzling light.'

In the lobby of Tianxianglou, diners were discussing heatedly.

Someone asked, "Who on earth are these Cheng family members? They have a newly crowned number one scholar in literature and a 20-year-old third-rank general in military affairs.

Two outstanding people from one family, a bright future ahead of them, this Cheng family is truly extraordinary."

Someone continued: "From what I know, their parents seem to be just ordinary farmers."

"Don't try to fool me. A farmer could raise such a capable son. Could it be that smoke is rising from his ancestral grave every day?"

Someone else said, "Five years ago, when he was the top scorer in the imperial examination, some people said that he was born into a peasant family.

If he had a background, why would he be banished to Lingnan?"

"It's a pity for such a talented person. Officials who are demoted to Lingnan will basically have no hope of promotion in their lifetime.

Then why did that person call him back this time? Could it be that he wanted to use him again for his brother's sake? "

Some people remained silent, and a man dressed as a servant immediately said, "..., probably not. I heard that he has made good achievements in the south. I think the court has realized that he is a waste of talent."

At this time, someone in the corner asked, "Brother, may I ask if the Cheng family you are talking about are from Yinzhou?"

This question is not difficult, and many people know the answer. Only one person answered: "Yes, wasn't his family's new champion demoted to Xiaoyao City to be the city lord? What, do you know something else?"

The man hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it's them. They are not simple."

I often go there for business. The Cheng family of Yinzhou is well-known throughout Yinzhou and even in several surrounding counties.

They are indeed from farming families, but if you ask how ordinary farming families can produce such outstanding talents, it is all because their mothers are extraordinary.”

Someone anxiously asked, "Why is it not simple?"

The person next to him was eager to know the answer and urged, "Yes, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now."

For a moment, the entire hall was silent, and everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what was said.

"Their mother's surname is Zhang. She is the younger sister of the great general who was exiled to the countryside."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a drop of water dropped into a frying pan, and the whole hall exploded in an instant.

"Oh my god, this is so explosive. This is simply a shocking piece of news."

"As everyone knows, the general has been looking for his sister for decades, and he even drew his sword against his stepmother in order to find her."

"Strange, his sister is missing, why would he pull a knife on his stepmother?"

“This involves a secret that you young people don’t know, but the old families in Beijing still remember it.

You all know Marquis Changyang, right? It was him who had an arranged marriage with Miss Zhang.

Before getting married, he had an affair with Miss Zhang Er.

It is said that she got pregnant.

So, in order to replace Miss Zhang and marry into the Ye family, she colluded with her mother Pan and tried to secretly kill Miss Zhang while the general was not at home.

Fortunately, Miss Zhang was lucky enough to survive and now has two such outstanding sons."

The diners were still shocked by his words, and the businessman who had been to Yinzhou jumped out and corrected him, "You are wrong, she didn't have two sons, she had five sons in total. The two oldest were doing business, the third was studying, the fourth was a doctor, and the fifth was a soldier.

As the saying goes, there are top talents in every profession. Her five sons can be regarded as top talents in their respective professions.

Their family businesses have spread across major counties in the south.

They opened factories and schools and employed hundreds of thousands of people. Now the people of Yinzhou eat rice, steamed buns, fish and meat every day.

What I want to tell you is that the South is no longer the barbaric land you think it is. The people there are even richer than those in Kyoto.

Even the Xiaoyao City, which everyone was afraid of, was transformed from a deserted city into a paradise for trade.

Has anyone ever bought a latex mattress or a latex sofa?

"Yes, I bought one. Two months ago, a new furniture store opened in Kyoto. The sofas there are novel in style and unique in shape, and they have soft and comfortable cushions. It is said that the cushions are made of latex.

I opened it and saw a whole piece of white cushion inside.

I think that's latex.

I bought several sofa sets and some latex mattresses, which make sleeping very comfortable.

My waist is old and I can't sleep on a hard bed. I usually have to use several layers of mattresses. But when the weather is hot, the mattress is really hot and it's not breathable. It even has a smell after I sleep on it for a long time.

This latex mattress is different. It has many holes and is very breathable.

There is also a bedspread, which you can take apart and wash when it gets dirty, which is very convenient.

Since I bought a latex mattress, I sleep on it, and guess what, my waist doesn't hurt anymore.

I sincerely suggest you go to that shop and have a look. I guarantee you will like it and the price is not expensive. "

An elderly man happily shared his pleasant shopping experience and recommended everyone to buy it.

"If it's really that good, where is the shop? I'll go take a look after dinner."

"Let's go together. I'm planning to replace some of the old things at home. If it's really as good as this uncle said, then I'll buy a few too."

......

The rich businessman was looking at and talking about the Cheng family, and the topic unexpectedly turned to buying furniture, which made him feel both amused and confused.

But this can be considered as free advertising for their furniture shop.

There was no need to guess, he knew that the furniture shop must be related to Chengjia Village.

Even the layout and style of Tianxianglou, as well as the taste of the dishes, gave him a very familiar feeling.

If his guess was correct, the owner of this restaurant should also be...

Let’s get back to the topic and continue the gossip.

He interrupted them in time and said, "Yes, it's true that latex products are very popular, but do you know where this latex comes from?"

"Where are you from? Are you from the south as well?"

"Smart, but you would never guess that this latex is produced in Xiaoyao City and has now become one of the pillar industries of Xiaoyao City."

"Oh my god, who is so awesome that he can bring Xiaoyao City's business to Kyoto?"
