Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 461 Young Master Gong 2

Left with no other option, Zhuang Xiuxiu had to bite the bullet and say: It's...it's from the Gong family.

"The Gong family?" Yunyi's eyes lit up. "Gong Xuer's Gong family?"

Zhuang Xiuxiu nodded, then lowered her head and started fiddling with her fingers.

"The Gong family has strict family traditions. Lord Gong is a man of integrity. He has only one wife and takes good care of his niece after his younger brother and sister-in-law passed away. He is a very good person."

"But I heard that Gong Chengli has already arranged a marriage, and the other party is..."

"Big brother, it wasn't him," Zhuang Xiuxiu said hurriedly, then lowered her head again.

"If it's not Gong Chengli, could it be the second son of the Gong family?" Zhuang Yi couldn't help but raise his voice.

Zhuang Xiuxiu pouted; she neither nodded nor shook her head, clearly indicating her agreement.

Yunyi searched through the original owner's mind and found that Minister of Revenue Gong Zhaolin and his wife had two sons. The eldest son, Gong Licheng, was very good at studying, just like his father. He was once called a "child prodigy" and was only nineteen years old. He had already passed the imperial examination and was the youngest compiler in the entire Hanlin Academy. His future was limitless.

As for the youngest son, Gong Lizan, he was neither good at literature nor martial arts. After passing the imperial examination a few years ago, he had been stagnant ever since. His martial arts training was sporadic, and he spent his days playing around with cats and dogs. He was just a spoiled brat.

No wonder Zhuang Yi was surprised.

"How can he do it? That Second Master Gong..."

"He's a good person. We became friends after a fight." Zhuang Xiuxiu replied stiffly, then lowered her head and pretended to be a quail.

"you……"

Yun Yi laughed: "Big brother, I think you might be able to look up that Gong Lizan."

"Ok?"

Yunyi and Zhuang Yi exchanged glances and nodded, a faint smile playing on their lips. Although she hadn't met the real Gong Lao Er yet, the original owner of this body recognized him and had a mental image of him. From his appearance, she could tell that he was an upright person. For an upright person to act like a playboy was quite intriguing.

Zhuang Yi frowned slightly, but still nodded.

"Alright, you can stay unconscious." Yun Yi waved her hand at Zhuang Xiuxiu. "I'll come back to provoke you when I have time." Then she left.

"You..." Zhuang Xiuxiu was furious, but she didn't dare to go out. She could only grit her teeth and vow that she would teach this woman a lesson if she came again.

As soon as Yunyi stepped outside, she saw Shi Ning waiting there: "Second Madam, I'll head back now."

"Come again when you have time." Shi Ning smiled and saw her to the door. Seeing that Yun Yi didn't have a carriage, he thought of sending one to take her.

"It's not far, I walked here. I can visit the East Market on my way back." Yunyi accepted the other party's kindness. "Goodbye, Second Madam."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ning did not insist further, but gave a few more instructions before returning to his residence.

Both the Cheng'en Earl's Mansion and the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion are located in the East City, which has a total of thirty-six wards, mostly inhabited by nobles.

Yongchang Ward, where the Duke of Zhenguo resides, and Ruyi Ward, where the Earl of Chengen resides, are only two streets apart. It took Yunyi half an hour to walk there, so they are very close.

Just as they reached the entrance of the alley, they saw a horse coming towards them, with a young man on its back dressed in red, looking carefree and dashing.

Yunyi and Yunlu stepped aside to make way for the other horse.

However, when the other party arrived, they reined in the horse: "Fang Yunyi."

Yunyi then looked up and saw that it was Gong Lizan, the person she had just been talking about. She couldn't help but smile and ask, "Young Master Gong, is there something you need?"

"You went to see Xiuxiu, didn't you?"

"Mm." Yunyi nodded.

"how is she?"

Yunyi rolled her eyes: "Why should I tell you?" Then she turned and left.

"You brat..." Gong Lizan had just opened his mouth when he suddenly felt a gust of wind rush towards him. Without thinking, he leaped off his horse, dodging the thrown weapon, and then...

When he landed, he met Yun Yi's half-smiling eyes and suddenly felt a little stuck.

"Young Master Gong, who is ignorant and incompetent, good for neither literature nor martial arts." Yun Yi walked up to him, looked him up and down, and then suddenly leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Actually, you're just hiding your true abilities, aren't you?"

"you……"

"Zhuang Xiuxiu is a very good girl. If you really... cherish her." After saying that, Yunyi took two steps back, turned around and left.

She had said that Gong Lizan was not a bad person. Now that she saw him in person, although he looked like a playboy, he was surrounded by a faint red aura, which meant that he had good fortune. Moreover, he had a dignified appearance and was definitely not a real playboy.

"You..." Gong Lizan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and this time his face turned red with embarrassment. "Don't talk nonsense, a young lady's reputation..."

"Alright, there's no one else here." Yunyi interrupted him. "Besides, a beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman." She paused for a moment. "If you like her, don't worry about whether she's in a coma or not. Maybe she'll get better after you get engaged to her? You have to believe in the power of love."

Gong Lizan's face turned even redder, and he didn't even know what to say. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Fang Yunyi, you really are... as fierce as ever."

"Thank you for the compliment." Yunyi wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, she was quite happy. "I suggest you go and confess to the young master first." After saying that, she really left.

Gong Lizan watched Yun Yi's retreating figure, frowned slightly, then leaned against the stone pillar of the archway and pondered for a long time before going to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to knock on the door.

Yun Yi then took Yun Lü to the East Market.

The capital city has two large markets, or commercial districts, both very large, where stalls can be set up every day. One is in the East City and the other in the West City.

However, the prices of goods in the two markets differed significantly.

The goods in the East Market are high-end and expensive, while those in the West Market are very affordable.

This is somewhat similar to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. In the past, people would ask "buy east" or "buy west" when they wanted to buy something, which later became the common way of saying "buy things".

The original owner used to love coming to the East Market, where you could buy many rare things, and even items from other countries.

On the way here, Fang Zhong had mentioned the glassware business to her, and even suggested that Fang Tang take over the business. His aunt could help her apply for a 10% cut of the profits. She had agreed at the time, but after returning, given the Fang family's behavior, she must have been out of her mind to let them make money.

But her glass workshop is already up and running, and she needs to convert it into money eventually, so she came here today to check out the market and see what's going on.

Just as they reached the vicinity of the East Market entrance, a carriage that had passed by reversed back, and a head poked out of the window looking at Yunyi: "Miss, is it really you?"
