The news of Lu Jing's reward soon spread to everyone.
Shen Ruoyan asked him to keep a low profile during this period and try not to go out for social activities. Although Lu Jing couldn't help wanting to go out and show off, he listened to his wife's words and stayed at home on the grounds of feeling unwell and refused to see visitors.
Anyway, I used this excuse last time with the plaster incident.
It won’t be awkward to use it again.
It's just that he hid, but others couldn't.
"Lu Yan, my father said that the emperor likes your family very much recently, and you will be successful soon!" This is a brainless boy, the great-grandson of the Minister of Justice, the only child in the family, who has been raised in the palm of his hand since childhood.
He never thinks before speaking. He is completely different from his cautious grandfather who would spend a long time pondering over every word.
"Hmph, it's just a casual gift. What's the big deal, you ignorant bumpkin!" The speaker was Song Xian, the young master of Prince Shun's Mansion. He never had a good face towards people from Marquis Changning's Mansion.
Although the untouchable who beat him last time is dead, everyone in the Changning Marquis Mansion still hates him.
He hasn't vented enough!
Lu Changchuan couldn't help himself and was about to speak when Lu Yan grabbed his hand. Lu Yan shook his head at him, signaling him not to cause trouble.
After all, he is still a child, and Lu Changchuan's thoughts are written on his face. His dissatisfaction suddenly aroused Song Xian's interest.
"Isn't what I said wrong? The Imperial Uncle is just giving you some silver out of pity. Don't act like a spoiled brat. If the Imperial Uncle finds out, you'll be in big trouble!"
Lu Changchuan paused and secretly wrote on the paper, "What he wants to say is, is he arrogant because of his favor?"
Lu Yan nodded, that was exactly what he meant.
Most of the students who entered the Imperial College had genuine talent. However, there were also many like Song Xian, who entered based on their status, and who were not afraid of being ridiculed by the people if they told others about it. It was said that the young prince of Prince Shun's mansion couldn't even read a single word!
It is said that after the emperor found out, he praised him for his childlike nature and true character.
So Prince Shun just let him do whatever he wanted and let him learn however he wanted here, as long as he could gain a reputation.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. We have taken note of it." Lu Yan wrote the words on the paper, and Lu Changchuan imitated his style, reading them out word by word.
Because Lu Yan cannot speak, whenever he has something he wants to express, Lu Changchuan will help him in this way.
"Hmph, just remember it!"
Song Xian was in a dilemma. Although he was overbearing, there was nothing wrong with Lu Yan's attitude. His lackey was not as impulsive as before today. He really couldn't find a place to start.
So after school, I left in a bad mood.
Those who serve him will suffer again.
"Prince, won't you be angry when you hear those words? Why don't you let me explain it to him clearly?" On the way home, Lu Changchuan asked after holding it in for a while.
He is not the type to keep secrets, especially in front of Lu Yan.
"Just follow the crowd, no need to pay attention." They are all people who go with the flow. They just do whatever others say. They don't have their own opinions. It's useless to explain to them a hundred times.
Because they don't know how to judge for themselves.
The Changning Marquis Mansion is currently in its heyday. My mother said that at this time, there must be a lot of people watching them.
Lu Yan was still young and didn’t know that this was a signal sent by the emperor.
At this time, the attitude towards Changning Marquis Mansion was actually a test.
What he knew was that he shouldn't stir up trouble at this time. When you stand high, even the right thing can become the wrong thing.
He kept his mother's words in mind. So even though Song Xian provoked him today, Lu Yan didn't take it to heart - what he said wasn't true, and time would tell, so why should he waste his breath?
Lu Changchuan was confused and didn't quite understand.
But he knew that there were many people who wanted to find fault with them, so at this time, they had to be obedient and not cause trouble.
The two of them returned to the Marquis' Mansion together. Shen Ruoyan had someone prepare a table of dishes early, waiting for the two children to come back.
"How was school today?"
Chunxi was setting the dishes beside her. Shen Ruoyan smiled and replaced the dish with a sweet and sour short ribs. "Yan'er, you don't like sour food. I put more sugar in this dish today. Try it."
Lu Yan's eyes lit up and he picked up a piece for himself.
It’s soft, tender and sweet when you put it in your mouth, without any sour taste!
"Changchuan, eat more too. This is the big pork elbow you wanted to eat yesterday. It's still hot." Shen Ruoyan smiled gently. Compared to her mother, she was more like a caring older sister at this moment.
At this time every day, she would try her best to take time to spend time with her two children.
Although she was sad about the emperor's betrayal in her previous life, after reflection, she also discovered many shortcomings.
Children need companionship. She only knew how to support the emperor to ascend to the throne, but ignored his inner feelings.
She blindly used the emperor's requirements to restrain him, causing him to go from talking to her about everything to keeping away from her. Perhaps this was the reason why the mother and son later became estranged?
So this time, she will learn a lesson.
We need to educate children, but we also need to pay attention to their conditions. We cannot just impose our own vision on them, but should listen more to their own ideas.
Therefore, the rule of not talking while eating never applies when there are only three of them.
"Mother, the young master of Prince Shun's mansion was bullying us today!" Lu Changchuan complained while gnawing on a large pork elbow. "He said we were ignorant bumpkins, and when the emperor gave us some rewards, we were so happy that we lost our minds!"
