"I wonder why Mr. Han called Yanran?" Song Yanran was suddenly stopped by Han Xu and was full of confusion. What was it that she had to say in the yard just now, and why had she waited until now to say it?

"I would like to ask Miss Song to help ask Mr. Mu whether he has finished reading his book. I have already finished it and I am afraid that it will delay Mr. Mu from reading the rest of the books." Han Xu bowed to Song Yanran and told her the reason why he stopped her.

"Don't worry, Mr. Han. I'm going to the general's mansion to find Shu'er tomorrow. I'll go to my cousin's yard to ask then." Song Yanran remembered that she had an appointment with Murong Shu tomorrow, so she could help ask her second cousin.

"Thank you, Miss Song! I would also like to trouble Miss Song to convey a message to Han Xu. If Second Young Master Mu has also finished reading, I will go to the general's mansion in five days to exchange books with him." Han Xu asked Song Yanran to convey a message to Second Young Master Mu.

"Mr. Han, you're welcome. My second cousin also loves reading. Maybe he has already finished it." Song Yanran couldn't help laughing when she thought that her second cousin was also a nerd.

Song Yanran's bright smile dazzled Han Xu's mind, so much so that even after Song Yanran's carriage had gone far away, Han Xu was still in a daze.

Mrs. Han saw that her son hadn't gone in yet and couldn't help but come out to check. As a result, she saw Han Xu staring blankly at the alley entrance and couldn't help asking, "Xu'er, why are you standing here in a daze? Miss Song has gone far away. Are you too tired from studying recently? Come in quickly. Mother will cook you prawns tonight to nourish your brain."

Han Xu was originally a little embarrassed when his mother caught him daydreaming, but now he felt like laughing after hearing her brain-boosting remarks.

"Mom, that might just be Miss Song joking. Why did you take it seriously? I don't need to supplement my brain."

"How could Miss Mu be joking? Miss Mu is such a good doctor. What she said about seafood being able to nourish the brain must be true. You should eat more later. Studying strains your brain." When Mrs. Han heard that Han Xu did not believe Murong Shu's words, she immediately refuted her son. In her heart, whatever Murong Shu said was right.

Han Xu didn't dare to refute his mother this time and could only complain silently in his heart. However, Miss Mu and Wen Jing were really nice to him. Han Xu thought that maybe this seafood could really nourish the brain.

On the way back in the carriage.

Song Yanran was lost in thought by herself. Her personal maid smiled and said, "Miss, I have called you several times. What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about Mr. Han, he seems not to believe what Shu'er said." Song Yanran only now came to understand the expression on Han Xu's face when he heard that prawns can nourish the brain.

"Anyway, young lady, you have already completed the task assigned by your cousin. Believe it or not, we will just ignore him."

"How can that be possible? This was specially sent by Shu'er."

"My dear young lady, let's not think about these things, okay? Do you remember that the young master asked you to bring him some osmanthus cake when you went out this morning?" The little maid couldn't help but remind her. She was sure that her young lady must have forgotten.

"Oh, luckily you reminded me. Let Uncle Wang go to East Street to buy osmanthus cake for the young master." Song Yanran was reminded by her maid that she had promised to buy osmanthus cake for her brother when she went out in the morning. If she went back directly, her brother would definitely make trouble with her.

The three of them went to East Street together to buy osmanthus cake before returning. Fortunately, they had enough time and it was still early when they returned to the Song Mansion. He asked someone to deliver the osmanthus cake to his younger brother, and he went to his grandparents' courtyard.

The next day after breakfast, Song Yanran set out for the general's mansion again.

Thinking of Han Xu's request yesterday, Song Yanran went directly to her second cousin's yard, and happened to run into Rong Qing who came to see Mu Siqing for something. Rong Qing was very surprised to see Song Yanran. "Yanran, why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?"

"Second aunt, Yanran has already had breakfast. She made an appointment with Shu'er to go out today. She just happened to have something to do with her cousin." Song Yanran liked Rong Qing very much. Every time she came to the general's mansion, Rong Qing was very enthusiastic. He would also give her a portion of the good things he got, so Song Yanran also regarded Rong Qing as her own second aunt.

"Then let's go in together. Your cousin must be studying again. He just studies in the yard all day and doesn't know how to go out. It really worries Second Aunt to death."

Rong Qing took Song Yanran to the yard, complaining to her as they walked that his son was a nerd.

"Second aunt, second cousin is so good. How many people want to have such an excellent child but are not blessed enough. How can you say this about your cousin?"

"Look at Sishu, he's about to get married, and look at him, he probably doesn't even know a woman. He said before that he would consider marriage after Shu'er comes back, but now that Shu'er is back, he doesn't mention it anymore and just stays in the yard reading all day."

Rong Qing had a heart attack when she thought about this. If she continued to drag on like this, when would she ever have a daughter-in-law?

"Second aunt, my cousin will be married next year. If you find someone suitable, please keep an eye out for him. When he passes the imperial examination, you won't have to worry about not having a girl to marry him."

Song Yanran was lively, cheerful and good at talking. She made Rong Qing very happy with just a few words. Rong Qing felt that what Song Yanran said was very reasonable. If his son could pass the exam, even if he didn't have to be the top scorer, at least he could be in the top three, and he would still be able to have a good marriage.

Looking at Song Yanran who was holding his arm, he felt that she was well-educated, gentle and virtuous. If his son could pass the exam, they would be a good match. He asked his sister-in-law to help ask the Song family when the time comes. Thinking of this, Rong Qing became even more enthusiastic and took Song Yanran to find his son.

Because of his different ideas, Rong Qing is now more satisfied with Song Yanran, so much so that when he came to see his son today, he did not urge him to go out, and even reminded him to study hard for the first time.

After Rong Yanran stated her purpose, Mu Siqing was very excited. She had finished reading the book that Wen Jing had selected for her, and had been worried that Han Xu had not finished reading it. Now that she knew that he had finished reading it, she couldn't wait to exchange the book back.

"Cousin, could you please take me to see Mr. Han right now?"

"Ah, cousin, Mr. Han has to go to the academy to study in the morning. If you are really anxious, why don't we go there at noon?" Song Yanran didn't expect her cousin to be so anxious. The key point was that there was no one at the Han family in the morning.

"Then I'll trouble you to take my brother there at noon." Mu Siqing bowed to Song Yanran.

"We are all family, why are you being so polite to Yanran? Then, cousin, pack up your books first. We will go directly over at noon. Cousin, you are busy now. I will go say hello to Shu'er."

Song Yanran originally came to pass on a message, but inexplicably agreed to go with her cousin to exchange books, so after lunch Song Yanran and Mu Siqing went out together. Rong Qing smiled even more happily when he heard the news.

It has been a long time since her son left his yard. As soon as Yanran arrived, her son followed her out eagerly. Now she went to her sister-in-law to find out what was going on.

At this moment, the two people in the carriage didn't know that Rong Qing had misunderstood them so deeply because of the book exchange. If they knew, Song Yanran would definitely not come along.
