Master Song and Lu Ankang went to the outer courtyard of the study first, and then Pei Rushi also came with the two young masters.
"Hello, Mr. Song and Mr. Pei. I have obtained some fine calligraphy and would like to have it appraised by those who are knowledgeable. I hope you will forgive me for the inconvenience of inviting you two here."
Shen Ruoyan was very secretive about his actions, and although it was a whim, it was understandable. As a member of a distinguished family, he had acquired a famous painting, and while inviting people to view it, he also wanted to ask for their approval. He wanted to avoid being mistaken for the real thing and causing a joke.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Master Song and Pei Rushi both nodded, understanding what they understood.
Lu Changchuan had no interest in these calligraphy and paintings. He took the young master's hand and whispered in his ear: "Young master, while the adults are looking at calligraphy and paintings, can we go out and play?"
The teacher said that today was a day off. He couldn't even write, and couldn't understand what he was reading. It would be a waste of time if he went.
Lu Yan looked at him eager to run away, his eyes somewhat helpless. So he took his hand and slowly wrote, "No."
Afraid that he didn't understand, she shook her head again.
Lu Changchuan followed the adults dejectedly, but his emotions faded as quickly as they came. Since he couldn't leave, he might as well follow them. At least today, he didn't have to study.
"Hey, big idiot, what are you thinking about?" Lu Ankang walked over and lowered his voice.
"Mother is calling the young master of the Marquis' Mansion, why are you following me?" In Lu Ankang's mind, the young masters of the Marquis' Mansion were only him and the Crown Prince. This big, stupid guy was just lucky to be picked up.
Why should he, a lowly person without parents, sit with him?
Lu Changchuan didn't want to pay attention to him and quickened his pace to walk forward. Who knew that Lu Ankang also followed him, and kept talking, "I'm asking you a question! Don't think that you are the master just because you enter the Marquis' Mansion! If you make me unhappy, I will ask my great-grandmother to kick you out later!"
Lu Ankang hates Lu Changchuan more than Lu Yan, who is known as the crown prince.
Because of him, everyone knew that the two of them were adopted sons of the Marquisate. Even if he was favored by his great-grandmother, it couldn't change this fact!
If there was no Lu Changchuan, he would be the only son of the Marquis' Mansion!
Mother said that Lu Yan, the mute, is nothing to be feared. As long as Lu Changchuan is gone, everything in this mansion will belong to him alone!
Everyone walked forward, talking and laughing. The sound reached the study. The servant guarding the door noticed something was wrong and looked outside.
Huh!
The mistress is coming here with a group of people!
He crawled inside, wanting to give a heads-up, but in his panic he lost his way and slipped, and with a splash, he fell into the pool outside the study!
"Come here, the mistress wants to meet guests here, take this wet servant away quickly. If you offend the mistress later, you will be in trouble!" Qiu Ye lowered his voice and brought his men. Regardless of the servant's struggle, he covered his mouth and dragged him away.
When Shen Ruoyan arrived, there was no one outside the study.
"This is the study. The Marquis hasn't finished his shift yet, and the old lady will be here soon. If it were just an ordinary calligraphy or painting, there wouldn't be any need to make such a fuss. It's just that I was lucky enough to obtain an authentic work by Xun Daozi from a hundred years ago, so I'm a little anxious."
Master Song couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is this really the authentic work of Xun Daozi?"
This Xun Daozi was a legendary figure, skilled in both calligraphy and painting. The late Empress Dowager was particularly fond of him and had collected many of his authentic works. Even fewer of his works are still in circulation among the people.
Shen Ruoyan smiled slightly, “Whether it is true or not, we will know it later.”
Ancient paintings don't like humidity and heat. Although this study is Lu Jing's place, he doesn't like reading, and the study has always been just for decoration. So sometimes, it is Shen Ruoyan who often hides books here, and Lu Jing doesn't care.
Only when I don't want to be disturbed, I will give an order -
Just like now.
"Ah! Mother, be careful!"
With a loud shout, Lu Ankang rushed forward eagerly, but Lu Changchuan rushed forward from behind like a ball. He brushed past Shen Ruoyan's feet and directly knocked open the door of the study!
"ah!"
“Get out!”
There were two more shouts one after another, the woman's was shrill and the man's was strong, and there were people standing at the door in amazement.
Even the knowledgeable Master Song was shocked by the scene before him.
Not only was it a very indecent position for a man and a woman to be seen in the study, but the posture was also extremely indecent. And if he remembered correctly, this man should be Marquis Lu Jing of the Changning Marquisate. He had met him once when he first became his disciple.
There are no concubines in the Marquis of Changning's mansion, so I guess he was having an affair with some maid.
I'd heard before that the Marquis of Changning was a playboy, but I never expected that his private behavior was even more immoral than the rumors! It was simply disgraceful!
Master Song was an adult after all, so even though he was shocked, he simply looked away, trying his best to remain calm. But the children who followed him had never seen such a scene before, especially Lu Changchuan, who had rolled inside.
He rubbed his head which was hurt by the collision. He didn't know who the bastard kicked him hard in the back!
"Hiss... My head hurts..." Lu Changchuan raised his head, and his blurred vision gradually became clear. He was facing the direction of the bed, and saw a white mass in front of him still moving. He subconsciously exclaimed: "What a big white ass!"
"presumptuous!"
“Nonsense!”
Lu Jing and Shen Ruoyan's voices rang out at the same time. Shen Ruoyan stepped forward and said angrily, "My Lord! This is the important study. How dare you make such a fuss here with these questionable people?!"
Chun Xi stepped forward at the right time and hugged Lu Changchuan.
Lu Jing's face flushed red as he quickly grabbed the robe that had been discarded and covered himself with it. The woman next to him also reacted and crawled forward crying, finding her own clothes and hurriedly putting them on.
"Take all the children out, what are you talking about?"
Shen Ruoyan shouted angrily, and the servants finally reacted and hurriedly led the three children out. Master Song and Pei Rushi were also extremely embarrassed. They didn't expect that they would encounter such a ridiculous scene just to appreciate a painting.
At the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of the Changning Marquis Mansion.
"Madam, it seems that it is not appropriate to appreciate calligraphy today. Pei will take his leave first. If there is another opportunity in the future, it will not be too late to appreciate it again." Pei Rushi spoke first. The clear voice made Lu Jing's exposed feet shrink inward.
He was used to the world of prostitution, and now he felt a little embarrassed. He just hoped that these people would leave quickly, preferably far away, so that he could forget all this!
Unfortunately, before Pei Rushi and Master Song could even step out of the door, Lu Changchuan's loud voice rang out outside:
"Great-grandmother, I don't know who kicked me just now, causing me to roll into the study. When I looked up, I saw the Marquis' father with his butt facing me. It was such a big white butt, it scared me! Oh, by the way, mother and the teachers are in there! Do you want me to help you call them out?"
Shen Ruoyan pinched her palms tightly to stop herself from laughing.
Lu Changchuan is not in any of her categories - he is truly her good son!
