"Young master, young master, what's wrong? Are you having an episode again?" Old Ma hurried to support Chu Jiangtun, and ordered Er Ma, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and get the young master's medicine..."
Er Ma snapped back to his senses, quickly took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill, and put it into Chu Jiangtun's mouth, "Young master, you'll be fine after taking the medicine. I'll go get you a cup of water!~"
Everyone: "???"
What's going on?
Looking at this chubby boy, who is tall and strong, fair and clean, could he have some kind of illness?
Chu Jiangtun swallowed the pill and took a long while to recover before saying, "This is an old illness. I caught a heart condition after freezing in the snow for a whole night. Whenever I get nervous or stimulated, my chest aches faintly, cough, cough..."
Yun Daman listened and stepped forward to pat his back, "Young Master Chu, if you're sick, you need to see a doctor. It's not too late to come out looking for relatives after you've recovered. What if you fall ill before finding your birth father? That would be a huge loss!~"
"Exactly!" Yun Erman also nodded, "Your father isn't going to die anytime soon. Judging by his age, he's in his prime right now. He's still alive, so you don't need to rush. Even if he's dead, we'll help you dig him out of the grave..."
Yun Laotou, who was watering sauerkraut jars in the Yun family's storeroom, sneezed violently.
"Achoo, achoo, oh my mother, achoo!~"
Gu Shi saw this and handed him a handkerchief, "Old man, are you feeling cold?"
"I don't know, why does my back feel so chilly?" Yun Laotou rubbed his shoulders.
Gu Shi smiled slightly and teased, "Perhaps someone is cursing you to death!~"
Yun Laotou: "......"
Who did I offend?
After being persuaded by everyone, Chu Jiangtun's troubled mood eased considerably.
After chatting with everyone for a few more sentences, he left with Old Ma and Er Ma...
"Daman, go back to the village later and get a few pickled cabbages, and some salted garlic!~" Zhuang Lao Er instructed while working.
Although they had drunk some wine at noon, both carpenter masters did not delay their work...
If the progress was fast, they could finish everything before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Yun Daman handed a bag of iron nails to Xiao Li and wiped the sweat from his brow, "Then I'll leave now. I can be back before dark!"
It just so happened that he wanted to ask his father about his remarriage back then.
He felt that Young Master Chu's background was very similar to his own father's in some aspects. He had to go back and clarify things...
At the same time, outside the gate of the old Yun family, several plainly dressed women were standing.
They peeked into the courtyard, whispering and speculating about the appearance of that Young Master Xiao.
Xiao Xitian stood on the steps with her arms crossed, comforting everyone, "Aunties, please wait a moment, it'll be ready soon!~"
Her fourth brother had already gone to inform Gu Mingyan about this. If nothing unexpected happened, the matchmaking event would begin soon...
"Miss, hurry up! We're anxious to go home and cook for the children!~" a woman urged.
"Yes, yes, if I don't go back on time, my husband will definitely get angry, and who will be responsible if I get scolded!"
"Tsk tsk, look at all of you. You've taken the money, and now you're clamoring to go home. Do you think money is that easy to earn?"
"......"
A burst of discussion reached Xiao Xitian's ears, making her head ache.
Jin Xiaolou brought Gao Jingde and Yun Xiaobao out to watch the fun, giggling non-stop.
Jingde sidled up to Xiao Xitian and asked, "Little Auntie, what are they doing?"
"Looking for a wife for Young Master Xiao..." Xiao Xitian said crisply.
"Huh? Then, then you don't need to bring so many!~" Gao Jingde twitched his mouth. "Besides, at their age, they could be Young Master Xiao's aunt, isn't that a waste?"
Xiao Xitian couldn't help but chuckle, "Go, go, don't talk nonsense. I'm doing this for Young Master Xiao's lifelong happiness!~"
Gao Jingde: "......"
Hmph, little auntie is clearly doing it for Young Master Xiao!
She thought that by finding a wife for Xiao Jinfeng, he would be immersed in a tender embrace and wouldn't be an enemy to Young Master Xiao?
Alas, it doesn't seem that simple!~
Xiao Jinheng also came out to join the fun after hearing the commotion...
Seeing the little village girl directing the group of women to line up, Xiao Jinheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey, little village girl, come here!~" Xiao Jinheng beckoned to her.
Xiao Xitian blinked her big eyes and ran over with her short legs, "Stinky brat, what's up?"
Since the stinky brat returned to the old Yun family, Xiao Xitian hadn't had a chance to talk to him alone...
Xiao Jinheng pointed to the women outside the door, "Do you think my imperial brother would fancy these village women?"
Even if they were to find temporary actors, they should at least find those with regular features and outstanding temperament. What was this motley crew?
Xiao Xitian pouted, "It was too rushed. Where could I find fair-skinned and beautiful actors! Besides, hiring good-looking actors is very expensive!~"
Xiao Jinheng: "......"
You little money-grubber.
In the guest room.
Er Longzi rushed to Xiao Jinfeng and pointed to the door, "Your... Your Highness, this is terrible! A group of aunties and grandmas have come to the door, and it looks like they're here to have a blind date with you!~"
"What nonsense?" Xiao Jinfeng frowned, slammed his teacup down with a 'bang', and cursed angrily, "What does Marquis Gu mean by this? Even if he hates this king, he doesn't have to insult me this way! He, he's simply unreasonable..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jinfeng was about to go find Gu Mingyan to argue. However, before he could even open the door, Gu Mingyan lifted the curtain and walked in slowly.
Seeing Xiao Jinfeng's furious expression, Gu Mingyan smiled faintly, "Oh, Your Highness Ming Wang, you're about to meet the beauties shortly, why the long face? Who upset you?"
"Gu! Ming! Yan!"
Xiao Jinfeng directly called out his name, gritting his teeth, "You're deliberately trying to insult me, aren't you? I warn you, get rid of those aunties and grandmas immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!~"
Gu Mingyan: "......"
Why are you yelling at me? I'm also very helpless.
When he learned that Qingfeng had brought back a cartload of aunties, he was truly startled.
Given Ming Wang's fiery temper, it was no wonder he would be furious.
"Your Highness Ming Wang, you must abide by our agreement and not go back on your word easily!" Gu Mingyan started talking about the bet. "If you break your promise, this marquis will never play with you again!~"
Xiao Jinfeng: "......"
As if this king would deign to pay attention to you.
