Chapter 1231 Cuckoo
Chapter 1231 Cuckoo
Soon, several people entered the Wanlianxing's tent.
After the ceremony, Shang Xi looked at Wan Lianxing carefully and found that he had indeed lost a lot of weight. "Uncle, did you catch the plague and your body hasn't recovered yet? You look a little worse."
Wan Lianxing touched his face and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little busy with official duties."
Shang Xi said, "Uncle, you should recruit talented people instead of doing everything yourself. Even if you are in good health, you won't be able to handle this kind of work."
Wan Lianxing said: "I agree with you about recruiting talented officials, but it's hard to find such a talented person!"
Shang Xi said: "Uncle, don't we have to pass the imperial examination to recruit talents?"
Wan Lianxing laughed out loud: "Shang Xi, you are really smart! You can say anything that touches my uncle's heart. But things are not as easy as you think. Our Fengqi country has just been established, and the imperial examination system has not been revised yet. After the revision, we have to go through layers of screening to see if there are any useful people."
While the adults were talking, Cheng Youning, who was leaning against Wan Lianxing's legs, suddenly looked up and asked Wan Lianxing: "Grandpa, should the laws we are begging follow the laws of the past Great Lang Kingdom or revise them?"
Wan Lianxing said: "Your master and your grandfather Ge mean to revise it. Before the revision, each place will temporarily use the previous laws. For example, the Qixiang County we are in is now using the laws of the Southern Yan Kingdom, and our Fengying is using the laws of the Dalang Kingdom. But it will eventually be unified, so after the final decision of the ministers, the laws will be revised."
Cheng Youning asked: "Are you already revising the law now?"
Wan Lianxing nodded, "Why is Youning so interested in the law?"
Cheng Youning thought about it and said, "Grandpa, can we cancel the black-ink punishment in the law?"
"Ink punishment? Do you know what ink punishment is?"
Cheng Youning said, "My grandson knows! It means carving words on the face. For example, last time Dandan and I stole Mr. Zhai's food, the word 'theft' should be tattooed on our faces. From now on, neither we nor Suidan can go out to see anyone!" Cheng Youning pointed at her face with her little hand!
"Who told you this?"
"My mother and Miss Zhong told their grandson this." Thinking of Mo Xing, Cheng Youning is still feeling scared!
Wan Lianxing heard that this was just a trick to fool children. The black-ink punishment does exist, but it is not used for just anyone who breaks the law. However, he did not expose Shang Xi and Zhong Siyu. He could only say: "The law is the most fair. If you are afraid, don't break the law in the future."
"Grandson knows. Grandson is very good! Grandson will go fishing with daddy later, and come back to make fish soup for grandpa to nourish his body."
Wan Lianxing caressed Cheng Youning's head and said, "It's not Grandpa who wants to eat fish soup, it's Suidan, the greedy cat."
Speaking of Sui Dan, Cheng Youning looked disgusted, "Dandan is really disgusting. They actually use urine as a medicine inducer. My mother, Qiao Rong and I each drank a bowl of that medicine just now. It smelled like urine. It was so disgusting!"
Wan Lianxing suppressed his laughter: "Did you drink?"
"Drink it. My mother told us to take precautions. Little Grandpa, do you want to drink it?"
"The little grandfather drank two bowls of medicine in total, but the medicine inducer was not Sui Dan's urine." Wan Lianxing felt that he was very lucky, otherwise he would have to drink Sui Dan's urine too!
Cheng Youning said: "Grandpa was so seriously ill but he only drank two bowls of medicine. Could it be that he was disgusted by the urine?"
"Your grandfather is reluctant to drink the medicine. There are so many people outside waiting for medicine. Giving each person one or two bowls can save their lives..." Cheng Feng hadn't finished praising Wan Lianxing when he heard a dry retching sound from inside the big tent and Zhong Siyu rushed out of the tent.
Cheng Youning looked at Zhong Siyu's disappearing back in surprise and said, "This is the first time I've seen Miss Zhong run so fast. Did she drink that medicine too?"
Shang Xi said with some guilt: "I advocated that everyone entering the barracks drink a bowl of medicine, and I guess everyone drank it!"
When the sun was high in the sky, Cheng Feng took Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong into the mountains. At this time of year, the trees on the mountain shaded each other, and the colorful flowers were blooming in full bloom. Cheng Youning couldn't walk when he saw the wild flowers. He bent down and smelled the azalea flowers that were in full bloom. Although there was no special fragrance, they were gorgeous. Cheng Youning decided to pick some of these colorful azalea flowers to take back.
Cheng Feng did not stop him when he saw this, because his son had been like this since he was young. When he saw wild flowers on the mountain, he liked to pick a few and bring them home to give to others. This habit has continued to this day and is unlikely to change.
When Cheng Youning had almost finished picking, Cheng Feng reminded Cheng Youning: "Son, there are a lot of flowers left. Let's do some serious work. Your mother is waiting for you to catch some prey and bring it back to make delicious food for us."
Cheng Youning's sharp eyes were searching in the woods, and his ears were erected as he observed the surrounding environment. Suddenly, Cheng Youning disappeared in front of Cheng Feng, and soon he stood in front of Cheng Feng with a little pheasant in his hand.
Cheng Feng looked at the crossbow on his back, which was a bit too impressive compared to Cheng Youning's. With his son Cheng Youning around, his crossbow would probably be useless. He hadn't accompanied Cheng Youning to the mountains to hunt for two years, and when he saw him today, he felt that his son was definitely better than his father, and he was clearly far ahead of him.
Cheng Youning's prey was not big, but small prey like pheasants and rabbits. However, within a stick of incense, Cheng Youning also caught a basket of prey. Cheng Feng sighed in his heart that his son's invincible Qinggong was really rare. "Son, you and Qiao Rong pick a basket of fruits from the tree, pick the sweet ones."
Cheng Youning was still very good at picking fruits. He climbed up the tree like a monkey. Qiao Rong had studied hard in the past two years and had made some progress in light Kung Fu. Now climbing trees was like a piece of cake for him.
Cheng Youning picked a pear and threw it to Cheng Feng: "Daddy, try it and see if it's sweet."
Cheng Feng looked at the pear in his hand, which was emerald green. He looked up at the two people on the tree and shouted, "These are sour pears. They are inedible."
Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong didn't believe it, so they picked one each, rubbed it on their clothes, and took a bite. Cheng Feng saw that the two children on the tree didn't react at all, so he asked, "Isn't it sour?"
Cheng Youning said, "Daddy, it's not sour, it's sweet."
Cheng Feng looked at the pear in his hand, thinking that he had made a wrong judgment, so he took a bite. After just one bite, Cheng Feng's face wrinkled together, "Cheng Youning, you dare to fool Daddy, this pear is sourer than vinegar, Daddy's teeth are sour..."
