Chapter 39 I have no manners, no morals, I modified the carriage
The fourth brother's eyes widened.
His face was full of shock.
"Grandpa, why are you so possessive of other people's things?"
He won't indulge them.
“Grandmother and grandfather are not even married yet, and you don’t care about Grandmother’s reputation, you insist on sending her to our general’s mansion.”
Later, when our general's mansion was so poor that we couldn't even get a meal, you never came to show any concern for Grandmother.
Even though Steward Zhou came to your residence and told you that the situation there was not good, you sent your great-uncle over to appease your grandmother because you were afraid that she would come back.
Now you want to take care of our food and water?
"You're supposed to be the Minister of Rites, how can you have no sense of propriety, righteousness, or shame?"
The fourth brother said he was just a child and didn't know what he could say and what he couldn't say.
All I know is that he has to speak out about things he doesn't like.
The Minister of Rites looked very grim, staring intently at the fourth prince.
The fourth brother tore off his fig leaf.
He looked around and saw that there were quite a few people following the bicycles.
With a stern face, he angrily rebuked, "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Your grandmother and grandfather were betrothed by the Emperor, and your grandfather was leading troops in the field and couldn't find the time to come back for the wedding."
I'm worried that you children are the only ones at the General's Mansion, and it won't be good for you without an adult to take care of you.
That's why your grandmother was allowed to move in ahead of schedule.
Later, I heard that your grandmother missed your younger brother, so I asked your family's housekeeper to take your great-uncle back.
"I've been so considerate of you all, how can you possibly disappoint me?"
Madam Yu, standing to the side, also looked misunderstood and said, "It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."
"Alright, you can leave your bicycles here and go have fun. You don't need to worry about anything else."
She went to talk to Yu Wanwan herself.
Yu Wanwan, that brainless lunatic, is easy to fool.
She glanced at the fourth brother and the others.
An overwhelming sense of disgust.
Ultimately, they are children who have no blood relation to their family, so they are really not likable.
The master just said they should come over for a meal every day from now on. Humph, they're dreaming! With food shortages these days, how much food would they need to eat if so many children came over for a meal every day?
What's more, a half-grown child can bankrupt his father.
They have so many children, yet they eat more than the adults.
"Dang Gui, stop dawdling and hurry up and take the bicycle back."
These kids are something else. They're so young, yet they ride such precious bicycles all over the place. It's heartbreaking to see them like this.
The fourth brother rolled his eyes.
He returned to his car and then said to his second brother and Yu Chengcheng, "Second brother, switch places with your great-uncle, let's ride our bikes and rush out."
"Stop dawdling here, or I'll start hitting you."
Yu Chengcheng immediately switched seats with the second brother.
He knew that he had been oppressed by Madam Yu and her group for so many years, and he didn't dare to resist them now.
The only thing I can do is not to hold back the fourth brother and the others.
After the second son got on the bicycle, he rang the bell and warned Madam Yu, "Madam Yu, if you don't leave, I'm going to crash into you."
The fourth brother chimed in, "That's right, old woman. If you don't leave us soon, we're going to crash into you. Our parents died early, and our grandfather didn't have time to take care of us. In short, we have no manners. Don't think we wouldn't dare."
Don't think that just because you're starving and about to die, you might as well die under our bicycles and extort money from us.
“We have no upbringing, so we have no morals. You can’t extort us.”
Madam Yu is about to be driven to her death by her second and fourth sons.
Ironically, he openly admitted that he lacked upbringing and morality, so she couldn't use morality to restrain him.
At that moment, she even felt that Yu Wanwan's grandsons were just as crazy as Yu Wanwan.
"rush!"
The second son had already placed his feet on the footrests.
Madam Yu stepped aside, her face ashen.
"Like attracts like, the whole General's mansion is crazy."
The Minister of Rites was also furious: "Go to the General's Mansion immediately and have Yu Wanwan return all the items."
"Yes, I'll take men there right away. But what's going on? Even the people from the General's Mansion can get food and water, so why can't we?"
The Minister of Rites also wanted to know why.
Is he, a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Rites, really inferior to those lunatics in the General's Mansion?

Inside the palace, the Crown Prince and several other princes surrounded the eldest prince and his group.
"Is this a car? But these two wheels are so flat, can this car stand still when it's moving?"
Also, what is the black material on these wheels? It feels a bit soft to the touch. Does that mean that when the car hits small stones on the road, the vibrations won't be as severe?
"With this vehicle, if two or three vehicles are lined up side by side, with a carriage attached to the back, and people ride in front, wouldn't it be just like a horse-drawn carriage?"
The prince used a stick to draw his idea on the ground.
"This way, large quantities of goods can be loaded into the carriages, just like transporting goods in a horse-drawn carriage."
"Bicycles are not as fast as riding a horse, but bicycles can be used to pull carriages, so the speed should not be much slower than horse-drawn carriages."
Moreover, unlike horses, bicycles don't need rest; they can be kept moving as long as several people take turns riding them.
The Crown Prince is a person with strong execution skills.
After thinking about this, he immediately asked his father-in-law to find a horse-drawn carriage.
The eldest, second eldest, fourth eldest, Yu Chengcheng, and the others all gathered around.
They each offered suggestions to make the carriages more securely fastened.
"Theoretically speaking, it would be faster to tie all three bicycles together, but there are only two bicycles here, and it is better to fix and control the direction if only two are tied together."
Two bicycles should be enough.
"I will immediately send someone from the Ministry of Works over to have him find a way to make the carriages even more secure."
Yu Wanwan was still watching Butler Zhou and Zhou Nan ride their bicycles in the yard.
I practiced it once.
Neither of them made any progress in cycling.
On the contrary, they made a lot of progress in arguing.
The two argued non-stop all afternoon.
At first, Zhou Nan could only endure the scolding, but later he even subtly gained the upper hand.
Butler Zhou stubbornly refused to admit that he lacked the talent to learn to ride a bicycle, and angrily retorted, "It must be you, you brat, who didn't want me to learn to ride a bicycle and deliberately sabotaged me behind my back."
Zhou Nan gradually became defiant: "If you're so worried about me, then don't make me help you. Anyway, I don't want to do this."
Yu Wanwan was confident that if they were given another half hour, the father-son bond between them would be completely exhausted.
