Chapter 1672 Lantern Festival
Chapter 1672 Lantern Festival
Cheng Feng said irritably, "Does he need someone to take him to see a doctor? Let him go by himself to Tongbao Pharmacy."
His big eyes hardened with stubbornness. He was afraid to see a doctor, clinging to his own conviction: "I won't see a doctor; my injury will heal on its own!"
At this moment, Chen Qingsheng appeared at the door, holding the last unsold lantern in his hand. He learned that the accident happened to Furong, so he hurriedly packed up his stall and ran over to see what was going on.
He ran and stopped, panting heavily, his words coming out out of his mouth, "Um... how is Sister Furong?"
Cang Man chuckled: "Mother and child are safe!"
"Congratulations... Brother Cangman and Sister-in-law Furong... on the birth of your son."
Recently, Yu Hua's nerves have become extremely sensitive, and her hearing has become exceptionally keen. Upon hearing Chen Qingsheng's voice, she pulled He Ye out and instructed He Ye, "Go and take Da Yan to see about his injury!"
Big Eyes, not understanding why, stubbornly said as always, "Steward Yuhua, I won't see a doctor! My injury isn't serious."
Yu Hua glared at him, and Da Yan immediately shut his mouth. Yu Hua continued to instruct He Ye, "Take him back to the Prince's Mansion, have someone take him to wash up and change his clothes. How can he work in the Prince's Mansion when he's all dirty?"
Yu Hua went to great lengths to prevent He Ye from contacting Chen Qingsheng; she was determined to get He Ye away.
He Ye dared not say no, and agreed with a smile.
As He Ye walked past Chen Qingsheng with her big eyes, Chen Qingsheng's eyes darted around nervously, looking a bit guilty. In fact, he had no feelings for He Ye at all, but he felt inexplicably guilty whenever he saw her. Perhaps it was the insoles on his shoes that were embroidered with "May the lotus flowers bloom in pairs, and may you be happy for all eternity!" that were causing the problem.
Cang Man warmly welcomed Chen Qingsheng and the other men in the courtyard into the house, providing them with tea, snacks, and other necessities. Chen Qingsheng was a rare guest at his place, and Cang Man, overjoyed at the birth of his son, enthusiastically ordered a feast to be prepared for everyone.
Some wanted to stay, while others wanted to spoil the fun. Cheng Youning was the spoiler; he wanted to go to the lantern festival and refused to stay. Not only that, he also wanted his father to accompany him.
Cheng Youning had no idea what his father was thinking; once he saw Chen Qingsheng and Cheng Feng, there was no way he could leave.
Cheng Feng coaxed Cheng Youning, "Son, today is the day your Uncle Man is blessed with a son. Dad will stay and have a few drinks with your Uncle Man. Tonight, Dad will take you to the street to admire the lanterns."
Cheng Youning looked displeased. "Father promised to buy me a lantern, but you haven't bought me one yet!"
Cheng Feng has bought Cheng Youning a lantern every year without fail, so it would be unreasonable not to buy one this year. "Son, Dad will buy one for you tonight."
At this moment, Chen Qingsheng picked up the lantern at his feet and showed it to Cheng Youning: "Your Highness, I only have one lantern left after selling it today. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you."
Cheng Youning looked at the lantern and shook her head. "This is a pink gauze lantern. I don't want it. I want to go to the street and buy a revolving lantern."
"Little brother, if you don't want it, I will! Uncle Qingsheng, please give me this lantern!" Cang Zhuo excitedly ran in from outside. Like Cheng Youning, he didn't have a lantern either.
Chen Qingsheng smiled and handed the lantern to Cang Zhuo. Cang Zhuo took the lantern and clamored to go to the street to admire the lanterns with Cheng Youning. Cheng Youning made an excuse that the lanterns were better to admire at night and that they were not as good during the day. But Cang Zhuo did not know what admiring lanterns meant. He only knew how to join in the fun and watch the fun. He was happy as long as there was fun. So he kept pestering Cheng Youning.
Cheng Youning was originally determined not to take him to the street, but his father asked him and Qiao Rong to bring him along, so Cheng Youning couldn't refuse his father and had no choice but to take the child Cang Zhuo to the street.
As soon as the children left, Cheng Feng said to Cang Man, "Let's invite Boss Qian over. What's the point of just the few of us drinking?"
Cang Man slapped his forehead. How could he not inform their boss about such a big matter? "Right, right, I forgot about our boss and his wife. I'll send someone to invite them right away."
Upon hearing the news that Cang Man had another son, Boss Qian and Wan Baiqian dropped everything and rushed over. Boss Qian looked at the newborn that Yu Hua brought out to show off and was filled with envy. "Cang Man is so lucky. It's only been a few years and he's already got another son."
Yu Hua teased Cang Man, saying, "That Cang Man is still living a life of good fortune but doesn't know it. He complains that Fu Rong gave him a son and is shouting that he wants a daughter."
Boss Qian pointed at Cang Man through the air, "You're really something, kid. Can a daughter compare to a son?" At this moment, Wan Baiqian was in the delivery room. If he were here, Boss Qian would never dare to say such a patriarchal thing. Not having a son was Boss Qian's lifelong regret. Looking at the little baby in Yu Hua's arms, Boss Qian was overjoyed, so he gave the child a nickname, "Cang Man, your little boy was born on the fifteenth, so let's call him Little Fifteen."
Cang Man chuckled foolishly, "Whatever name the boss suggests, that's what we'll call ourselves."
Not seeing the little girl who called him "uncle" upon meeting him, Cheng Feng asked Boss Qian, "Where's your daughter, Changhong?"
“I ran into your son on the street. He insisted on going out with me. He wouldn’t listen to anything your sister and I said. He cried when we didn’t agree, so we had to let him go. I saw several children with Cheng Youning. It seems that the youngest son of the Hong family was among them. He’s tall and chubby, and he seems to have a good relationship with Youning.”
Cheng Youning disliked Hong Yuncong for being stupid, and Cheng Youning didn't get along with the child. Cheng Feng was a little worried, "With so many children together, won't they fight?"
Mr. Qian waved his hand and said, "No, You Ning is all grown up and has learned to be tolerant."
Tolerance depends on who you encounter. Cheng Feng didn't want to expose Cheng Youning's wicked nature, so he could only hope that his son would have the demeanor of a prince and not cause trouble in public.
Cang Man was the most confident: "What's there to be afraid of in a war? With my son here, we won't suffer any losses. He fights if he can win, and runs home to get reinforcements if he can't." With a father like Cang Man who was always ready to fight, Cang Zhuo was naturally a good son. When Cheng Feng tackled Da Yan and threw punches earlier, he had already witnessed the boy's prowess. His bravery was exactly like his father's.
Cheng Feng knew his son wouldn't suffer any losses anywhere, but he still believed that having too many people around was never a good thing.
Cheng Youning and a group of children encountered Song Qianyuan on Zhu Jin Street. Cheng Youning would see Song Qianyuan every ten days or so because Song Qianyuan's father, the Censor Song Tingzhi, was Cheng Youning's teacher, and Cheng Youning would occasionally visit the Song residence. Despite this, their relationship did not improve. They were still the same as before, mutually disliking each other. In particular, Qiao Rong and Song Qianyuan were always at each other's throats. If it weren't for Cheng Youning's mediation, the two of them would have fought countless times already.
