Chapter 119 The incense cannot be broken
As soon as he came out, he left the king aside and went to find Fu Qianrun with cherries and apples.
"lady."
Ye Yanxing pushed open the door of the study, and besides Fu Qianrun, Cheng Yu was also in the room.
"Greetings, master!" Cheng Yu saluted.
"Hmm." Ye Yanxing passed him and walked towards Fu Qianrun, "Madam, the cherries are ripe and sweet! Try some."
"Good." The rosy and delicious cherries looked delicious. Fu Qianrun immediately pinched one and put it in his mouth. "Mm, not bad."
He ate a few and then stopped. Like Ye Yanxing, he could feel the energy flowing, but it was of no use. He just ate them for the taste.
Even if you just eat it, the taste is good!
"Cheng Yu." Fu Qianrun took an apple and gave the rest to Cheng Yu, otherwise his saliva would have flowed to the ground.
"Hey! Thank you, sir!" Cheng Yu walked forward happily and took the basket in his hand.
"That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow."
"Yes, my subordinates are resigning!"
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he went back with a basket of fruit.
When he got back to the door of his house, Zhang Hengyu ran into him as he came back from outside. "Zi Yao, you're back?"
"Yes, Changyuan." Cheng Yu turned around and saw Zhang Hengyu walking towards him from the corner.
"What did you take?" Zhang Hengyu stared at the basket in Cheng Yu's hand. It contained Ringo and something he had never seen before. "Did the master give it to you?"
"Yes, these are cherries and apples." Cheng Yu held the basket in front of Zhang Hengyu and put a cherry to his mouth. "It is said to be very sweet. Would you like to try it?"
"Mm, delicious!" Zhang Hengyu spit out the fruit core, "Have you tasted it?"
"No."
"Here, Ziyao, try it too." Zhang Hengyu pinched one directly to his mouth and asked him to eat it.
Cheng Yu is good in every way except that he is too obedient to the rules sometimes and does not behave in a rebellious manner at all.
Zhang Hengyu wanted him to be more flexible occasionally and hoped that he could treat this place as his own home instead of feeling that he was forced to live here because of a marriage certificate.
But until now, Cheng Yu is still so self-disciplined and polite.
Cheng Xiaobao had moved out when he turned eight. He said he could take care of himself and didn't want to disturb Magistrate Zhang's family anymore.
What he said made sense and Zhang Hengyu and the others could not refute it, so they had to agree to let him move out and live alone, but they secretly arranged for someone to protect his safety.
Cheng Xiaobao lived in the house that Ye Yanxing had given him before, and Cheng Yu also bought two servants to take care of his daily life.
"Let's go in." Zhang Hengyu took the basket from Cheng Yu's hand and pulled him into the house.
"Mom, Ziyao brought you some delicious food!" In the hall, the county magistrate's wife was drinking tea.
"What a noise." The county magistrate's wife put down her teacup, glanced at Zhang Hengyu, then looked at Cheng Yu and smiled, "Xiao Yu is back."
"Yes, mother." Cheng Yu replied with a smile, and then pulled Zhang Hengyu to sit next to the county magistrate's wife, "This is a new thing I got from the prince. Let you try it."
"Ringo?"
The county magistrate's wife looked at the basket in surprise. Ringo is a rare fruit in the north. It is a bit sour, but it is not easy to buy at ordinary times. Even she has only eaten it a few times.
But these three Ringo were much bigger than the ones she had seen before.
"Well, but the prince said that this fruit is not called ringo, it is called apple." Cheng Yu took the fruit knife from the maid and cut a small piece for the county magistrate's wife.
"Apple." The wife of the county magistrate chewed lightly and repeated, "What is the other red one?"
"The smaller one is a cherry. It's also delicious and has a different taste. Would you like to try it, mother?"
"Hmm." The county magistrate's wife tasted one and nodded repeatedly, "Not bad."
"Where did you find this?" asked the county magistrate's wife.
"Uh." Cheng Yu was speechless. "The prince didn't say, but the prince went to southern Xinjiang some time ago. Maybe he found it there."
"I see." The county magistrate's wife stopped asking questions.
Cheng Yu and Zhang Hengyu looked at each other and then breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know where the prince got these strange things from!
"Leave some for Xiaobao." The county magistrate's wife ate two cherries and stopped moving.
"Mother, please eat." Cheng Yu was a little touched.
"That's enough. The old man's appetite is just like that." The county magistrate's wife pressed the corners of her lips with a handkerchief without looking at them.
"Then I'll go pick up Xiaobao to have dinner together later." Zhang Hengyu continued.
"Okay, okay, go quickly." The county magistrate's wife urged him.
Originally, she and County Magistrate Zhang were a little unhappy that Cheng Xiaobao came along, but as they got along later, she gradually fell in love with this independent-minded and sensible child.
Even Magistrate Zhang taught him something from time to time.
"I'll go." Cheng Yu said.
"You've been tired all day, so take a rest at home. Let Changyuan go." The county magistrate's wife frowned and looked at Zhang Hengyu, "Why don't you go quickly?"
"Okay!" Zhang Hengyu had just entered the room and had barely sat down when he got up and went out again.
He had no complaints about his mother ordering him around. Instead, he felt relieved when he saw his mother defending Cheng Yu.
Only Cheng Yu and the county magistrate's wife were left in the hall.
"Ziyao, I don't usually have the chance to tell you this." The county magistrate's wife still smiled, "We see your relationship with Changyuan, and we hope that you and him can be together forever."
"Well, thank you, mother." Cheng Yu poured her another cup of tea and waited for her next words.
"But the Zhang family's incense cannot be destroyed in the hands of me and the master." The county magistrate's wife spoke carefully, watching Cheng Yu's reaction as she spoke.
When Cheng Yu heard this, he paused while pouring tea, and then continued pouring tea as if nothing had happened.
"Mother, feel free to tell me what you think." She was simply persuading him to take a concubine for Zhang Hengyu, and then give birth to a child to inherit the family business.
Cheng Yu maintained his calmness on the surface.
"My master and I have thought about this. In the next two years, we will try to give Changyuan a younger brother." The county magistrate's wife said this with a little embarrassment, her cheeks slightly red. "If not, then we will transfer a child from a distant relative to Changyuan's name and let you raise him. What do you think?"
Cheng Yu raised his head suddenly. He was surprised that Zhang Junshou and his men had such a plan? They were not planning to give Zhang Hengyu a concubine?
He was deeply touched and said, "I will follow my father and mother's arrangements."
The county magistrate's wife smiled and said, "We know you are a good child."
They also thought about taking a concubine for Zhang Hengyu, but their son knew very well that even if they did, Zhang Hengyu himself would never accept her, not to mention Cheng Yu's attitude.
So they only had these two choices. Fortunately, she had taken good care of herself over the years, and the court doctor examined her and said there was hope that she could get pregnant.
After a while, Zhang Hengyu brought Cheng Xiaobao back.
"Xiaobao greets Madam." Cheng Xiaobao bowed to the county magistrate's wife.
"No need to be so polite." The county magistrate's wife smiled with narrowed eyes. Cheng Xiaobao has grown a lot taller now and has become a young boy.
"Brother." Cheng Xiaobao greeted Cheng Yu after paying his respects to the county magistrate's wife.
"Ah."
The two brothers met each other often, and Cheng Yu often went to his place, so there was no need to exchange pleasantries.
"Xiaobao, come and sit down and try the new fruits your brother brought back." The county magistrate's wife called Cheng Xiaobao.
"Hey." Cheng Xiaobao sat down next to Cheng Yu, "Brother, is this given to you by your handsome brother?"
"You are quite smart." Cheng Yu tapped his forehead.
"Hehe." Cheng Xiaobao knew that things he had never seen before could only be found in his handsome brother's place.
"Brother, can I go to the palace to look for my handsome brother some other day? And visit my younger brother by the way."
Cheng Yu was also troubled by Cheng Xiaobao's messy way of addressing him, but this damn kid just wouldn't change.
"Then you can deliver a visiting card to the palace." Cheng Yu replied.
"Okay! I'll hand it over when I get home from school tomorrow!"
Cheng Yu looked at his brother helplessly and said, "Okay."
Cheng Xiaobao stayed until the end of dinner. The county magistrate's wife asked him to stay overnight at her house, but he declined on the grounds that he had to go to school the next day.
He was only thinking about writing a visiting card, so he said goodbye to Magistrate Zhang and his wife and went back happily.
