Chapter 648
When Yunxi returned, she found Shen Rang already sitting in the Shanshui Residence.
Shen Nianchu was held in his arms and nestled obediently on his shoulder.
This child is always jumping around and can't sit still for a moment, almost no different from Yunxi when she was little.
The only difference is that everyone in the General's Mansion is full of energy, enough to keep him from jumping around, while when Yunxi was a child, she often kept Chen Zongwen and Madam Chen from jumping around.
Seeing him so quiet, Yunxi almost didn't recognize her son.
Yunxi glanced at Shen Nianchu several times before meeting Shen Rang's dark eyes: "Don't you have to work today? What brings you here?"
“I came here when I wanted to,” Shen Rang handed the person in his arms to the wet nurse and took a few steps closer to Yun Xi. “Where have you been? I didn’t see you when I got here.”
"Young Master Fang's house is all ready. I'm going to pick him up," Yunxi said. "What's wrong?"
"You care about him that much?" Shen Rang's eyes were dark and deep.
Upon hearing this, Yunxi immediately understood why Shen Rang was there.
Yunxi couldn't help but say, "They paid money, and quite a lot of it."
"Just because of this?"
"Otherwise what?" Yunxi said helplessly. "Otherwise what could it be?"
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Rang said, "From now on, I will take care of his affairs."
"I'll prepare whatever he needs or lacks."
Just as Yunxi was about to speak, Le'an strode over: "Miss, Young Master Fang said that he has nothing to do in Luoyang City. If you are free tomorrow, he would like to invite you to pick a place to have lunch together."
"Go tell him that we're meeting at Shuweiju tomorrow," Shen Rang said.
Le An was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Yun Xi. Seeing Yun Xi nod at him, he turned around to reply.
Le'an walked along, puzzled. Shen Rang clearly couldn't eat spicy food either, so why did he insist on meeting at Shuweiju when there were so many good restaurants in Luoyang?
After Le'an left, Yunxi reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist: "When did you become so good at eating spicy food?"
Shen Rang sighed and pulled Yun Xi into his arms: "As long as she can eat more than him, that's fine."
The Jiangnan region has a light diet, while Luoyang has a slightly stronger diet. Although Shen Rang can't handle too much spice, he's fine as long as he can beat Fang Muning.
Yunxi muttered "childish" under her breath.
Such a method, which would harm the enemy a thousand while damaging oneself eight hundred, is something Shen Rang could come up with and actually use.
Only after receiving a reply did Fang Muning feel at ease.
The evening breeze in Luoyang wasn't exactly comfortable, but for some reason, Fang Muning felt it was gentler than the breeze in Jiangnan.
"Young master, dinner is ready." A servant stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting to Fang Muning.
Fang Muning hummed in agreement.
The house has three courtyards, and Fang Muning has plenty of room even though he doesn't have many attendants.
The dishes still retain the light and refreshing characteristics typical of the Jiangnan region.
Having eaten there for so many years, Fang Muning was used to it, and even when she moved to a new place, she couldn't muster any interest in the new flavors.
As Fang Muning ate, his attendant couldn't help but speak up again: "Young master, didn't you come here to find a match? Why do I feel that your mind isn't on this?"
"Who said that?" Fang Muning said slowly. "If I don't take care of the matchmaker properly, how can she introduce me to a good girl?"
The servant twitched the corner of his mouth: "You're starting to take it more and more seriously..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how difficult it must have been for his young master.
He was clearly terrified of Yunxi, like a mouse before a cat, yet now he had to fawn over her for his own sake.
Such courage is truly rare!
Fang Muning was unaware of what Chang Sui was thinking. As he ate his meal, he was eagerly anticipating tomorrow.
——
The next morning, Fang Muning got up and dressed, even putting on the brocade robes that she had never liked to wear.
The finest silk has a subtle sheen, and the Suzhou embroidery is even more exquisite and graceful.
Once you put on this brocade robe, your noble and precious aura becomes impossible to hide.
