Chapter 137 and the rumors fabricated by Cui Ruixin came to mind together.
It was a miniature version of the courtyard of the third branch of the Marquis's mansion.
Yu Zicong replicated it.
He recreated not only the bed and chairs in the room, but also the big tree in the yard and the small fish in the pond in the backyard.
Yu Ningyao looked up at her brother in disbelief: "Sixth Brother, did you make this yourself?"
"Mm." Yu Zizong nodded.
"How do you like it?"
"I love it!!!" Yu Ningyao nodded frantically.
I love it so much!
Isn't this just a modern version of a block house?
Yu Zicong's work is even more exquisite.
"I'm glad you like it." Yu Zizong smiled shyly.
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to live in the Marquis's mansion? I spent half a year making it. I carved and painted everything myself."
"Try pushing the door open," Yu Zizong said, looking at his sister expectantly.
Yu Ningyao pushed open the courtyard gate.
At that moment, somehow Yu Zizong managed to open all the courtyard doors.
Even the little wooden fish in the pond started swimming.
"How did you do that?! It's amazing." Yu Ningyao was completely dumbfounded.
"Actually, it's the plectrum underneath..." Yu Zizong explained to her.
Yu Ningyao listened with admiration: "Sixth Brother, you are really amazing. Your skills deserve to be famous throughout the world."
Hearing his sister say that, Yu Zizong was even happier.
He happily shared his new plans with his sister:
"Didn't you say before that you didn't like having maids empty your chamber pot and wanted a chamber pot that could flush away the waste with the push of a button? I've been working on it and should be able to make one in a while."
Yu Ningyao: !!!
"Sixth Brother, if you can make this happen, you'll be my god."
Although her maids help her clean up her excrement every day when she goes to the toilet, she still feels quite embarrassed.
It would be great if we could have an automatic flushing toilet like we do now.
So she had previously told Sixth Brother, who loves hands-on research and tinkering with these things.
Surprisingly, he actually did it.
"Don't worry. As long as it makes you happy, Sixth Brother will definitely find a way." Yu Zizong patted her head.
"I'm going to display this birthday present in the flower hall so everyone knows how amazing my brother is." Yu Ningyao put her hands on her hips and shook her head proudly.
"There's no need to be so high-profile..." Yu Zizong said shyly.
Yu Ningyao shook her head: "I don't want to be high-profile. I wish the whole world knew."
If Yu Zizong continues to study this, he might become a legend in Xiangguo.
Such great talent shouldn't be wasted.
She instantly understood why Lu Qingyun and Shen Chuyu were vying for her to be their disciple today.
With his sister's affirmation, Yu Zicong was full of motivation.
He nodded and said, "Don't worry, your brother won't let you down."
"Okay. Then I'll wait and see my brother's new invention!" Yu Ningyao smiled sweetly.
Soon, thanks to Yu Ningyao's boasting, the Yu family all learned about Yu Zicong's skill.
Yu Kangjing was somewhat worried.
"Zi Cong is so engrossed in the art of craftsmanship, what will happen if he stops studying properly in the future?"
Shen Jinzhu glanced at him and retorted, "Our family has no shortage of scholars or money. Let Zizong do whatever he likes."
Yu Kangjing thought about it and realized that what his wife said made sense.
The family already has an eldest son who is obsessed with reading and a younger son who is obsessed with doing business and making money.
The second son was not as good at studying as the eldest son, and not as good at business as the youngest son.
Having a skill to rely on these days is a good thing.
"Besides, only Zi Cong can calm down and focus on such a skill. Which of those other mischievous kids could do it?" Shen Jinzhu shook her head with a smile.
"That's true." Yu Kangjing sighed helplessly.
"I was hoping that Yaoyao would grow up to be a lady of high society, but now that she's with General Lu, I'm lucky if she doesn't turn into a tigress."
"So what if she's a tigress? At least she can protect herself. What if she marries someone like Yining and ends up with an unreliable husband?" Shen Jinzhu pursed her lips and stopped smiling.
“I would rather spend a lot of money to visit her in jail and hire a lawyer to defend her than see a cold, lifeless corpse.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Kangjing immediately became anxious.
“My three older brothers and I are not to be trifled with. Anyone who dares to bully our little Yaoyao will be taught a lesson.”
"What if she marries someone far away and you can't get there in time?" Shen Jinzhu asked again.
“Then let her marry someone from the capital! She can’t marry someone from a family that’s more than a quarter of an hour away on horseback,” Yu Kangjing blurted out.
"Then I need to find a suitable son-in-law first, lest someone snatch him away."
Shen Jinzhu burst out laughing.
"My lord, Yaoyao is only five years old."
“So what if he’s five? I’m planning ahead.” Yu Kangjing pondered.
After much thought, he realized that his idea was the same as the rumor that Cui Ruixin had fabricated.
General Lu's grandson, Lu Lingguang, is about the same age as his daughter. He is said to learn things very quickly and is an extremely intelligent child.
He will surely have a bright future.
So the next day, when he sent his daughter to the general's mansion to learn martial arts, he stayed behind to observe Lu Lingguang.
As soon as he arrived at the general's mansion, he met Lu Lingguang.
Lu Lingguang greeted him and gave him a bow.
Yu Kangjing was very satisfied.
This child is not arrogant because of his high status; he is a good child.
Unexpectedly, Lu Lingguang's reaction the next second made his face turn green.
"Good morning, Auntie. Have you had breakfast yet? The General's Mansion has prepared meat buns, egg pancakes, and millet porridge today. What would you like to eat?" Lu Lingguang politely helped Yu Ningyao up.
"Good job, my dear nephew. I've had breakfast, let's go practice martial arts." Yu Ningyao patted his shoulder with a smile.
“Alright, this way please, Grandma.” Lu Lingguang showed no anger or impatience whatsoever.
Yu Kangjing's lips twitched.
Great-aunt?
My dear grand-nephew?
what is happening.
How come my daughter has only been here for one day and I'm already considered a super senior?
"Oh, right, Father, you don't need to pick me up this afternoon. Master will send someone to take me home." Yu Ningyao didn't forget to turn back and tell her father.
Yu Kangjing was full of questions, but he didn't want to ask them now, so he just nodded and left.
……
When Yu Ningyao was sent home in the afternoon, Yu Kangjing couldn't help but ask about it immediately.
"Yaoyao, why does General Lu's grandson call you 'Grandma'?"
These words piqued the curiosity of the Yu family members, who all looked over.
Yu Ningyao revealed all their bets.
"So the old general wasn't lying. You really are quite talented." Yu Kangjing was dumbfounded.
“Father, have you forgotten? My sister was very clever when she was learning to summon fish from Lady Yun.” Yu Ziying retorted to her father.
"My sister isn't just talented in martial arts; she's talented at everything she does."
Yu Ziying's praise made Yu Ningyao blush.
"It's nothing special, not as amazing as the young man described." She quickly waved her hand.
“Ziying is right.” The other members of the Yu family echoed her sentiment.
They praised Yu Ningyao to the skies, making her seem like the best in the world. Even if Yu Ningyao had a thick skin, she couldn't withstand such praise.
Her little face flushed red, like a delicate, ripe little apple.
Her family couldn't help but pinch her little cheeks.
After praising his daughter, Yu Kangjing removed Lu Lingguang from his list of potential sons-in-law.
That brat dares to look down on his daughter! No way!
"Yaoyao, what do you think of Lu Lingguang? Do you like playing with him?" Shen Jinzhu was unaware that her husband had changed his mind.
As agreed before, they continued to inquire about their daughter's opinion of Lu Lingguang.
Yu Kangjing was so anxious that he kept tugging at her sleeve.
