An old man next to him asked: “Is your child here?”
“Yes! Yes!” Chen Nong choked.
The old man said: “What a happy event, then what are you still standing here for? Go to Si Ye Mansion to get people.”
“Yes, yes.” Chen Nong came to his senses, and when he wanted to enter Siye Mansion, he found a long queue at the gate, and no one else was allowed to jump in the queue.
The old man who squeezed out from the inner circle with him asked strangely: “Why are you standing here again?”
Chen Nong nodded blankly, “I’ll line up.”
“What kind of line are you waiting for? The children are already waiting for their parents, and you still want to ask for medicine first?” The old man glared at Chen Nong.
Chen Nong said in panic: “No, I don’t know where or who to pick up the child from.”
Old man: “…Follow me!”
Chen Nong followed him obediently. Halfway through, he heard the old man muttering: “Who is this person? Why is it that the child of such an irresponsible person is well, but my child is not?”
Chen Nong’s ears turned red from dryness.
At the other side door the two of them walked through, two boys with cufflinks and armbands were squatting here, chatting in various boring ways.
“Two envoys, let’s pick up the children.” The old man smiled politely at the two children.
Chen Nong was shocked. Siye Mansion was a government government anyway, so how could such a child be allowed to do things? Before he could figure it out, he was glared at by the old man. He quickly came to his senses and came to the two children, and said awkwardly and politely: “Little envoy.”
A little kid looked at him as if he were a kid, and took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve, “Which kid? What’s his name?”
“Chen Mei’er.” Chen Nong said, “My nickname is Tabby Cat.”
The kid next to him chuckled, “Tabby cat, what a nickname.”
The kid holding the note hit his arm and said, “Be serious!”
The kid next to him put on a serious face.
Chen Nong was full of worries: “…”
“Follow me.” The kid with the note shouted to him, and then left without waiting for him to follow.
The old man pushed Chen Nong, “Hurry up and catch up, you don’t have a child yet.”
Chen Nong didn’t know how the old man could recognize the trustworthiness of the child. He bowed to the old man to thank him, and then caught up with the child who was leading the way.
This was the first time he entered Siye Mansion. He didn’t feel that there was any difference between Siye Mansion and other mansions. He thought that the rumors were indeed true.
