At the age of six, Chang Gensheng personally went to the broker in the county town and carefully selected a male child to bring back.
According to the norm, such children are not considered valuable, but Chang Gensheng chose the fairest and most clever among them.
Buying Chang Fei cost Chang Gensheng two taels of silver.
Two taels of silver was not a small sum for the Chang Family, enough to cover the whole family's expenses for one or two months.
Chang Fei was the name Chang Gensheng gave to the boy.
Chang Gensheng raised Chang Fei as his own son, providing him with food and lodging equivalent to his daughter, and had the old servant of the house call him young master.
The neighbors saw this and knew that the Old Master of the Chang Family was planning for his daughter's future.
Indeed, the reason Chang Gensheng bought Chang Fei was to make him a future son-in-law.
