"Lingfu, Lingfu, what's wrong with you? Why are you angry for no reason? I didn't provoke you!" After calling out to Lingfu several times without any response, Wei Yingzhi couldn't help but get a little anxious.

"Why did you give away the things I gave you?!" After a while, Ling Fuzhang said angrily with a red face.

"You did it beautifully!" Wei Yingzhi was puzzled.

"No matter how beautiful it is, it is for you. Who told you to give it away?" Pingfu said loudly.

"I promised to give them a better-looking one." Wei Yingzhi blinked innocently.

"Then why did you agree?!"

"I broke someone's things, so shouldn't I compensate them with a better one?" Wei Yingzhi said righteously.

"Anyway, anyway, you are not allowed to give the things I give you to others!" Lin Fu was still angry.

"You want me to embroider one myself and give it to someone else? My mother will scold me to death if she finds out!" Wei Yingzhi widened her eyes, looking incredulous.

Since she was eight years old, her mother had not allowed her to embroider anything for outsiders, especially boys.

Lin Fu was choked by her, and after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. A girl can't just give gifts to a man outside her family.

"Then you can ask the embroiderer in the mansion to do it!"

"A man of the Crown Prince's status, can he just use servants to make things for him?"

"Am I not a servant too?!"

"You are not!"

The two of them argued for a while, and Wei Yingzhi finally got annoyed and stomped her feet, "I know, I know. Next time I will do it myself even if my mother scolds me, okay?"

“……” For some reason, Lin Fu felt even angrier.

"You are a girl, how can you give things to boys casually? This is a private transaction and is not allowed!" he said loudly.

"Aren't you a boy too? I gave you so many things, why did you accept them all!" Wei Yingzhi refused to give in and shouted even louder than him.

Fu Fu's face turned red, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

The two of them stared at each other for a moment, then snorted at the same time and turned away without looking at each other.

"What are you laughing at with your mouth covered?" Shen Xinyan asked curiously when she saw Chunliu walking in with a smile on her face.

"The fourth lady and Pingfu are arguing!" Chunliu said, trying not to laugh.

"Fight? Did you hear it right? That kid Lingfu would also quarrel with others?" Shen Xinyan didn't believe it.

It was probably because his daughters had done something to annoy him again, these two little rascals! She shook her head helplessly, not taking it seriously.

Anyway, these two will be reconciled soon.

"Where's Lin? Ask him if he's ready. We don't want to leave a bad impression on him this first time."

"Everything is ready. I'm waiting for the madam outside!" Chunliu replied with a smile.

Although today's visit is ostensibly to Princess Yonghe, the actual purpose is to discuss the marriage between the Duke of Ying's Mansion and the Prince of Ning's Mansion, so we must not miss the timing for this first meeting.

When she walked out, she saw Wei Chenglin sitting outside. When he saw her coming out, he came up to her and said, "Mother."

"Let's go!" Shen Xinyan looked at his attire with satisfaction and nodded.

From the way he dresses, we can tell how seriously he takes this marriage, at least he is not forcing himself.

"Mom, brother, where are you going?" Wei Yingzhi, who wanted to complain to her mother after a quarrel, asked curiously when she saw them about to go out.

"Go to your great aunt's house in Yonghe." Shen Xinyan answered, and then asked casually, "Did you have a fight with Pingfu?"

"Don't mention that stingy guy, I hate him the most!" Wei Yingzhi's face changed when she heard this, and she stomped her feet and ran away huffing.

A stingy person? Pingfu is a stingy person? Shen Xinyan was surprised, and then said helplessly: "It was fine this morning, but it suddenly became noisy again for no apparent reason."

Wei Chenglin thought for a moment, then said slowly, "The child may know what they are quarreling about."

"Oh? You know?" Shen Xinyan asked as they walked.

"Ying'er presented a purse to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace this morning. Pingfu was also present."

"The purse was made by Pingfu?" Shen Xinyan understood as soon as she heard it.

"I think so."

Shen Xinyan rubbed her forehead and said, "Ying'er is really..."

"I guess Ying'er didn't explain it clearly to Pingfu at the beginning, so Pingfu misunderstood." Wei Chenglin explained for his sister.

The things that I made with my heart and soul were given away in the blink of an eye. No wonder the usually good-tempered Linfu was angry. However, with my sister's carefree personality and the fact that she was the closest to Linfu, I guess she didn't realize it either.

"Why would she give a purse to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? If people misunderstood her, wouldn't she be unable to explain herself?" Compared to the quarrel between the two children, Shen Xinyan was more worried about this.

"It seems that Ying'er ruined the Crown Prince's purse before, so she wants to make a better compensation to His Highness."

Shen Xinyan sighed helplessly: "Never mind her, let's talk about it when we get back!"

After Lin Fu and Wei Yingzhi had a quarrel, he wanted to read a book but he couldn't concentrate at all because Wei Yingzhi's angry face kept lingering in his mind.

"Hmph, you're obviously wrong, yet you still dare to be angry. Ying'er is the most annoying!" He was getting angrier and angrier, so he simply spread out the paper, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, thought for a moment, and then sketched the image of a certain person on the paper.

A moment later, a little girl appeared on the paper, blinking her big eyes pitifully and clasping her hands in front of her chest begging for mercy.

He bit his lip and started writing again. After a while, a little boy appeared, with his head raised proudly but one eye secretly opened to look at the begging girl.

Looking at the two little people on the paper, he seemed to really see Wei Yingzhi's pitiful face as she admitted her mistakes and begged for mercy. He was finally satisfied. Then he changed his mind and pointed at the little girl on the paper and taught her angrily, "Girls, you are not allowed to make purses or handkerchiefs to give to others. Do you understand?"

After thinking about it again, he added, "Even if you have to give it away, you should let me do it like this time. But you have to tell me who it is for first, understand?"

The "little girl" still had that pitiful look on her face, begging for mercy. Her big round eyes seemed to be able to speak, just like that person's, as if to say "I know".

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time. There won't be a next time!" Pingfu was finally satisfied. After the ink on the paper dried, he carefully put the scroll into the 'treasure box'.

"Fu boy, Fu boy..." Wei Junhang's voice suddenly rang out from outside the window. Pingfu quickly patted the wrinkles on his clothes and hurried out to greet him, "Duke, I'm here!"

"Fu boy, are you busy? If not, come with me!" Wei Junhang said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll pack up and go out with you." Lingfu ran back and neatly tidied up the things on the desk.

"My Lord, I am ready now."

"Okay, let's go!" Wei Junhang patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Boy Fu has become stronger again. How many sets of boxing have you learned this time?"

Pingfu straightened his back and said proudly, "I have learned two sets. Brother Chenglin said he would teach me sword dancing later."

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. If we can't become the top scholar in literature in the future, then we will become the top scholar in martial arts." Wei Junhang laughed with his hands behind his back.

"Huh? Are the top scorers divided into literary and martial arts?" Lin Fu frowned in confusion.

"Divide! Why not? Haven't you seen that's how it's played in plays?" Wei Junhang teased him deliberately.

Pingfu thought about it seriously, and when he saw his face that couldn't help laughing, he suddenly realized: "Ah! The Duke is lying! There is no such thing as the top scholar in literature or martial arts!"

Wei Junhang laughed out loud again.

This kid is as funny as ever over the years!

I've been teased by the Duke again... Lin Fu scratched her ears, pursed her lips, and looked at the Duke with accusing eyes. He had no dignity at all.

Wei Junhang pretended not to see it, walked out of the second door with his hands behind his back, humming an unknown tune.

Ping Fu quickly ran to catch up.

"My Lord, where are you taking me?" Looking around in the carriage, Lin Fu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'll take you to meet Liu Jijiu of the Imperial College!" Wei Junhang didn't tease him this time.

Lin Fu nodded as if he understood, but didn't ask any more questions.

Wei Junhang squinted his eyes and looked at him. He saw that the boy had lost the skinny and small appearance when he first came here. Only his eyes were still so clear. Although his life experience was pitiful, he was still full of vigor and vitality, and his temperament was rare and kind.

I wonder what kind of people these children's parents are to raise such a good child.

"If you can catch the eye of Liu Jijiu, you can study in the Imperial College in the future. This will only be beneficial to your future participation in the imperial examinations." After a while, he slowly explained the purpose of this trip.

Mr. Lu's old mother is seriously ill and cannot come back in a short time. However, Lingfu's studies cannot be stopped. Thinking of the path he had arranged for him, Wei Junhang decided to send him to the Imperial College.

Lin Fu looked at him and nodded again: "I understand."

Wei Junhang flicked his forehead with amusement: "What do you understand? You kid, even if I drove you to sell it, you are stupid enough to say you understand it."

Pingfu covered his forehead and glared at him secretly: "I'm not stupid! Madam, Mr. Lu, and Sister Chunliu all praised me for being smart. I can learn anything in one go!"

Wei Junhang found it even more amusing, and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Lu is fine, but Madam and Chunliu..."

Madam and the others love this kid so much that they exaggerate even the smallest things. What they say cannot be taken seriously.

"Madam is the best, and Sister Chunliu is also very good!" Lingfu frowned and emphasized, and nodded vigorously at the end to enhance credibility.

Wei Junhang laughed and said with some pride: "My wife is the best!"
