The next day.
Under the pretext of shopping, Shen Ruoyan went to the jewelry store she often visited and bought a bunch of hairpins, rings and bracelets.
Chunxi was sent to the dim sum shop again and bought a variety of dim sum. The quantity was not large, but the main feature was that the variety was rich.
"I'll just take it to them after school."
Shen Ruoyan smiled and got on the carriage. With her public appearance, the rumors of her serious illness were naturally refuted.
I believe that it won’t be long before the rumors in Shengjing City gradually die down.
Chun Xi accompanied him into the carriage and lowered her voice, saying, "I just heard from the shopkeeper that the Marquis came here the other day to buy rouge and powder."
Shen Ruoyan is now in control of the expenses of this mansion. Lu Jing is sometimes very caring and often uses his own money to buy the girl's favorite things.
However, if it was given to Fang Rou or the other two concubines, I am afraid that these people would not be able to help showing off when paying respects every day.
After all, in their eyes, Lu Jing's favor is the capital for their survival.
Only by showing off all the time can they make people in this mansion look up to them.
However, I haven't seen anyone showing off recently...
Shen Ruoyan had an idea in mind, "Send someone to follow the Marquis, especially after he gets off duty, be careful and don't get discovered."
Chunxi: "Yes."
After the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion had been wandering around outside for a while, Shen Ruoyan slowly returned to the mansion with a bunch of items.
At this time, Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan, who were still in the academy, knew nothing about this.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master!"
The two children respectfully saw Pei Rushi off. After Lu Ankang left, they returned to their previous study routine.
Lu Changchuan could no longer use Lu Yan's pen name to impersonate someone else.
To this end, he practiced calligraphy for the entire afternoon and even did horse stance!
"Other people's reputation is ultimately false. If you want to be upright, you can't rely on these petty tricks."
Pei Rushi didn't care what they discussed privately. He treated the two children equally. As long as they were willing to learn, he would do his best to teach them.
Lu Changchuan does not have any talent, but compared to Lu Ankang, he is more ambitious.
With time, you will be able to achieve something.
So after being beaten, the two children were a little depressed. However, when they saw Lu Ankang coming out of the academy with his head lowered, their interest suddenly perked up!
"Lu Ankang, were you scolded by the teacher again?"
Every time Lu Ankang came, he was arrogant and left with sadness.
As soon as he saw him like this, Lu Changchuan knew that he must not have done a good job in front of the teacher today!
"What's it to you!" Lu Ankang was hit on the palm of his hand and it still hurts!
He snorted, "It's not like you haven't been scolded by the Master before, so what's there to be proud of?"
Your own discomfort is important, but the frustration of others is even more heart-warming!
"I wasn't scolded by the Master. Our Master Pei doesn't usually scold people, right, Prince?"
Lu Yan nodded silently, because when he started scolding people, he was not a human at all!
But Lu Ankang misunderstood. He had no idea that Pei Rushi had two faces. When he was studying with Pei Rushi, he had never been scolded.
Not to mention slapping the palm!
"You will be scolded sooner or later!" Lu Ankang was unconvinced and walked forward quickly.
Lu Changchuan is so annoying, he will never pay attention to him again!
"Hahaha!"
Looking at his fleeing back, Lu Changchuan laughed until he was out of breath, but soon, he could no longer laugh.
Because Lu Ankang brought Shen Ruoyan here!
"Mother, why are you here?"
Lu Changchuan hid behind with a guilty conscience, wondering if he had been seen when he bullied Lu Ankang just now.
He also wants to be a good boy in his mother's eyes!
"I figured you guys would be finishing school soon, so I came to bring you some snacks."
Shen Ruoyan said with a smile, taking Lu Ankang with him and walked into the pavilion, "Brother Kang, come and eat too."
Chunxi opened the oil-paper packages one by one, revealing the exquisite snacks inside. Each one was different, and some were even made into animal shapes, all of which were children's favorites!
The Lu family prides themselves on being a prestigious family, and they have strict control over the food available in the market.
Especially Mrs. Lu, she hated the inferior food outside the most, so Lu Ankang rarely had the chance to see it.
"Eat it."
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Shen Ruoyan smiled and handed him a piece of dessert, “Look, they are not polite at all. If you don’t eat it, it will be gone.”
Lu Changchuan spoke one word at a time, and although Lu Yan was gentle, his speed was not slow at all.
Lu Ankang then took it and started eating happily.
"tasty!"
His eyes lit up as he ate. The snacks outside were more delicious than those in the mansion. Moreover, they were not all the same. Each one had a different taste!
When Fang Rou brought the sweet cakes she made over, this was the happy scene she saw.
She gripped the basket tightly and walked over. "Greetings, Madam. I was ordered by the old Madam to come look for Brother Kang. I didn't expect to find him here."
Why does this sound so sarcastic?
Shen Ruoyan didn't show it on his face, he just nodded, "It just happened to happen."
The children were eating happily, and Lu Ankang just glanced at Fang Rou and had no intention of paying any attention to her.
Fang Rou was unhappy, but she couldn't help but say, "Brother Kang, you rarely eat these kinds of food outside. Be careful not to get a stomachache later."
As she spoke, she opened her cake and said, "Auntie made delicious sweet cakes. Don't you like them the most?"
That sweet cake was indeed Lu Ankang’s favorite food before. He liked sweets, so Fang Rou learned how to make it.
Even when she was wandering around outside, she had never bought these foreign things for Lu Ankang.
Because she knew that her son was the future prince of a marquisate, and his food, clothing, and other expenses must not lower his status!
So every time Lu Ankang felt greedy, she would make sweet cakes for him.
But I didn't think about it. After eating it for so long, would my son get tired of it?
"I won't eat your sweet cakes. They're too sweet and greasy. They're not tasty at all!"
That was something you would eat when you had no choice. How could it compare to the pastries we have today?
Fang Rou looked a little embarrassed. "You'll know when you get a stomachache, kid!"
Chun Xi couldn't bear to listen any longer. "What does this mean, Auntie? Could it be that the things our Madam bought at the pastry shop are not clean?"
Her tone was gentle, but her eyes were full of disdain. "The Crown Prince and Young Master Changchuan have always been fine after eating it. If Young Master Kang has a weak spleen and stomach, he should not eat it."
Chun Xi said meaningfully, "If something goes wrong, I'll blame Madam for her kindness..."
"That's not what I meant."
Fang Rou smiled awkwardly, but the people present were not fools. Who couldn't understand what she meant?
Shen Ruoyan didn't care and replied calmly: "It doesn't matter, so many people are watching, it's not so easy to throw dirty water."
Fang Rou, who was thinking this, was hit in the heart——
Okay, then I’ll go!
