Chapter 1703 Entrance of the Wan Family Headquarters

Jin Feng chuckled. "He Ye, let me tell you, your third uncle spends all day doing woodworking in the backyard. Apart from those lanterns, he hasn't made anything else. At first, you could still hear him hammering and banging away in the backyard, but then it all stopped. I went to the backyard a few times, and he would just sit there like a statue in that chair, like he'd lost his soul. But today is strange; I heard him doing woodworking again."

Jin Feng followed He Ye to the backyard and saw that Chen Qingsheng was not only doing woodwork, but also humming a little tune. This was a rare sight. Just two days ago, he was crying his heart out. Now that he had just gotten married, he was like a completely different person.

Jin Feng whispered to Chen Qingsheng beside He Ye, "It's true that people are in high spirits when they have good things happening. It's rare to see my third uncle, who is usually so listless and gloomy, in such a good mood."

Three days later, a small kite shop was set up in front of the Wanzihao shop on Zhujin Street. The colorful kites seemed to come alive, attracting passersby. People who didn't want to buy kites would turn their heads to take a look.

Cheng Feng, who was idly strolling around the shop, noticed from afar that a stall had appeared in front of their shop, with five or six people of all ages gathered in front of it. "When did a stall appear in front of the shop? How does Cheng Tiezhu manage the shop?"

Big Eyes, who served Cheng Feng day and night like a lackey, felt he was omnipotent. "Young Master, I'll go and chase the vendors away."

"Hey!"

Before Cheng Feng could finish speaking, Da Yan had already run ahead, craning his neck to disappear into the small crowd. A moment later, Da Yan emerged from the crowd, still calling out to Cheng Feng, "Young Master, we can't get rid of these vendors!"

Cheng Feng thought to himself, who is so bold as to set up a stall in front of Wanjia General Store? What kind of person dares to block the entrance of someone else's store?

"Don't worry about it. Let Tiezhu negotiate with the stall owner in a bit."

Big Eyes said, "That's even more useless. It might just be your nephew's idea."

Cheng Feng didn't believe that Cheng Tiezhu would be so brainless as to let someone set up a stall in front of the main entrance of Wanjia Store. At this moment, Cheng Feng was a little curious. He wanted to see who was setting up a stall in front of his door.

Pushing through the crowd, colorful kites came into view, and he also spotted two stall owners—Chen Qingsheng and his niece. "Wait…you're setting up stalls again?"

"Uncle."

"Brother Feng!"

"Tsk, what's going on? Why are you still calling me Brother Feng?"

Chen Qingsheng grinned and immediately changed his address, "Uncle!"

"That's more like it. No wonder you two are setting up a stall on the street again." Cheng Feng thought about the dowry he gave He Ye, and realized that the young couple didn't need to resort to street vending!

Just as Chen Qingsheng was about to reach out to grab his hair, he suddenly remembered that he had used a bronze mirror to apply a lot of hair oil and combs to his hair, so he put his hand down and said slowly, "I don't set up a stall on the street, and I can't do anything else!"

“If you want to do business, why don’t you go to Gaotou Lane? You can make money doing anything there. Why bother coming here to be out in the sun and wind? You can’t force yourself to suffer even if you don’t want to!”

“Uncle, He Ye said that the shop has already been rented out, and we would lose money if we took it back. He Ye said that renting it out ensures a good harvest regardless of drought or flood, and it is more profitable than doing business on my own. I am not cut out for business. I don’t have confidence in myself, and neither does He Ye. I discussed it with He Ye and we decided that setting up a stall is flexible. We can come and go as we please.”

Cheng Feng looked at their stall, then at the entrance of his own shop. He was amused by the young couple in front of him. "You two are really something. You two are going to block the entrance of our Wan Family main store."

Chen Qingsheng said, "I put this stall here after careful consideration with He Ye. Nowhere else would be as good as this place."

Cheng Feng glanced at their stall, then at the entrance of his own shop. "You call this 'well-thought-out' blocking my doorway? If you weren't using your brains, your kites would have been placed right inside my shop. Hey, I'm just wondering, didn't Cheng Tiezhu see you setting up your stall here?"

"See, he told us to either move eight or nine feet to the left or eight or nine feet to the right."

"Then why don't you move them!"

He Ye said shyly, "Uncle, Chen Qingsheng and I are scared by my mother and He Bao. Chen Qingsheng doesn't dare to set up a stall unless it's in front of your door. I've been helping him make these things at home for three days. If He Bao comes, these things will become waste in no time. Uncle, Qingsheng and I are really scared."

"Why weren't you afraid before!"

Mentioning the past, Chen Qingsheng mustered his courage. "Uncle, things are different now. I've married your niece and am Liu Dalan's son-in-law. Yesterday, He Ye and I went to the Prince's Mansion for the homecoming ceremony, and Liu Dalan sent He Bao to my house. In front of my two servants, she said that He Ye and I didn't know the rules."

Lotus Leaf added, "Uncle, everyone in the capital knows I have a generous dowry, and they've already started plotting against it. I think it won't be long before Lotus Bud comes here to cause trouble."

Cheng Feng wanted to say, "Since you know you're being watched, do you really have to sell these kites?" But he didn't say it aloud. Seeing that the young couple looked unusually well, he didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm. "Then set it up here. If you need anything, just shout, and Cheng Tiezhu will come out. But you two had better clear the entrance for me. It doesn't look good to have a kite stall in front of the Wan Family's main store!"

While Cheng Feng was speaking, Da Yan's little hands touched each kite one by one. Chen Qingsheng quickly stopped him, "Da Yan, stop it! If you touch the kites like that, who am I supposed to sell them to?"

Big Eyes loves colorful kites. He's never flown a kite before, even though he's grown up. "My hands aren't dirty!" he says.

"Even if it's not dirty, you're not allowed to touch it!"

"Everyone can touch it! Why can't I touch it! I'll touch it gently, it won't break!" Big Eyes did touch it very gently, but his eyes were sly and mischievous, like a little thief, making people suspect that he might steal the kite.

"They're the buyers, of course they can touch it as they please. You're just here for the fun. Even if you ruin the kite, you still won't buy it. Don't think I don't know how stingy you are!"

Big Eyes shyly withdrew his hand. Chen Qingsheng was right. He wouldn't buy a kite. Someone as young as him, who had become a servant, was not worthy of flying a kite.

Chen Qingsheng couldn't stand Da Yan no matter what; this grudge stemmed from a recent incident involving the theft of his clothes. He Ye, on the other hand, liked Da Yan. She would ask him to run errands for her, and he always readily agreed. So, He Ye generously chose a beautiful eagle kite, saying, "Da Yan, here's a kite for you."
