Chapter 59 Meeting a Bad Friend
Kang Ge is the only relative she has left in this world.
Now Brother Kang is trapped on the farm, while she is in the Marquis' Mansion and is out of reach.
She couldn't even ask to leave the house, and was even worse than a servant who could be sold. With a mother like her, Kang Ge must be very disappointed, right?
"You're right. I shouldn't have let myself fall like this."
Xiao Tao's words hit the nail on the head. As long as she stays in the Marquis' Mansion, she can only rely on Lu Jing.
She wanted to see her son, but it all depended on Lu Jing's words.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, the reality did not give her the chance to escape.
"The Marquis is back? Did he go to Concubine Liu's place again?" Fang Rou's eyes were shining again, but the love was replaced by desolation.
Since men can treat women as pets that can be replaced at will, why can't she do the opposite?
If Lu Jing's favor can bring her what she wants, why not use it?
Xiao Tao replied happily: "My aunt, as soon as the Marquis returned home, he went to Madam Liu's place and he hasn't come out yet!"
Fang Rou smiled slowly. She asked Xiao Tao to dress her up and specially chose Lu Jing's favorite hair accessories to wear. "I heard that Aunt Liu has caught a cold. As sisters, I should go and visit her."
The person in the mirror looked tired, but with Xiaotao's excellent craftsmanship, Fang Rou, after being dressed up, did not look at all decadent.
She nodded at Xiao Tao and said, "Your craftsmanship is quite good."
"As long as Auntie likes it!"
Xiao Tao's heart climbed out of the abyss again. She knew from a young age that she was destined to be a servant in this life. Her greatest wish was to be able to follow a favored master and experience the feeling of one person's success bringing prosperity to the whole family.
So she studied hard and practiced diligently, and her skills in hairdressing and braiding were perfect! She even had superb embroidery skills, and was ready to charge into battle for her master at any time!
Just as Xiao Tao was leading Fang Rou towards Liulu with full of fighting spirit, Shen Ruoyan was busy with other things.
"Cousin, what do you think?"
Qin Shaobei lives in the mansion, and such good resources must not be wasted.
Although Shen Ruoyan said that she would not disturb him from preparing for the exam, Qin Shaobei himself suggested that he wanted to see how she taught her two sons.
In this case, Shen Ruoyan had no choice but to obey respectfully.
Qin Shaobei's eyes fixed on the children, Lu Changchuan swallowed nervously, and even Lu Yan couldn't help but straighten his back, not daring to slack off for a moment.
This cousin looks careless, but when he was checking their homework just now, he pointed out the mistakes very accurately and every word was spot on.
People dare not underestimate it.
"Pei Rushi, are you hiding something from others?" Qin Shaobei asked jokingly. If the child's studies are not good, then it must be the teacher's fault!
He looked Pei Rushi up and down, and clicked his tongue twice, "Did I not pay you enough as your cousin? Or did these two children make you unhappy and make you hold a grudge? Otherwise, these are not the people you should be able to teach..."
Qin Shaobei and Pei Rushi are old acquaintances. They are both good friends and bad friends.
Faced with Qin Shaobei's ridiculous words, Pei Rushi didn't take it to heart at all and just thought he was talking nonsense!
But the two children took it seriously.
"No, cousin, it's our fault that we didn't learn well. It has nothing to do with the teacher!" Lu Changchuan spoke anxiously to defend Pei Rushi.
Although Master Pei was very strict with them, and sometimes they were not allowed to eat if they did not finish their homework, their handwriting became better and better, and they knew more and more words.
Even Lu Changchuan can write some simple poems now, which shows how much effort Pei Ru has spent on them.
"Cousin, please stop joking. Look at the two kids, how scared they are by you?" Shen Ruoyan said dissatisfiedly, having seen through Qin Shaobei's thoughts. This guy is never serious.
Qin Shaobei took a look and saw that, indeed, Lu Changchuan was anxious, and even Lu Yan was writing furiously. The four big characters were concise and to the point -
"Master is very good!"
He laughed out loud, "Pei Rushi, I never thought that one day you would be able to please a child!"
In the past, Pei Rushi was extremely talented and gifted. When he was in Xuzhou, many families wanted Pei Rushi to help teach their children.
But Pei Rushi was a very stubborn person. No matter whether you were a king or a beggar, as long as you were under his command, you had to follow his rules.
His lectures are not humorous, and are even a bit rigid and serious. He is not soft-hearted with children and just does things his way.
There was a time when the children in Xuzhou were so scared that they burst into tears when they saw him!
Qin Shaobei found it very strange to see a child come forward to defend him. However, this also proved that Pei Ru was sincere to these two children.
"You are still so noisy." Pei Rushi looked helpless. After hearing the news that Qin Shaobei was coming, he knew that this man would never keep quiet.
As expected, even when he arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, he would not restrain himself.
"It's just a joke. Master Pei, you wouldn't be so stingy, right?" Qin Shaobei smiled and patted his shoulder, acting like good brothers again.
Lu Changchuan and Lu Yan looked at each other and sighed in tacit understanding:
"My Lord is so complicated!"
However, after Qin Shaobei looked at their homework, Shen Ruoyan was relieved. Although the two children had their own strengths, they had a solid foundation, and with their hard work, they learned better than the average child.
Hearing him say this, Shen Ruoyan felt relieved.
As the saying goes, different people come into being. I was worried that Pei Rusai was so strict that his two children would become like Kang Ge, and would resent him.
But judging from what happened just now, it was obvious that she was worrying too much.
Some people just don't know how to be grateful from the bottom of their hearts. No matter how good you are to them, they will only remember the times when you were not nice to them.
But for some people, even if you are nice to them only once, they will remember it for a lifetime!
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you later, cousin." Shen Ruoyan smiled cunningly. Since there was no problem with the child, then it was time to spare some time to deal with the older one.
She doesn't care how the concubines fight.
Because she has more important things to do!
"Didn't you say that I could concentrate on preparing for the exam?" Qin Shaobei raised his eyebrows, unhappy.
Before Shen Ruoyan could say anything, Pei Rushi sarcastically said, "You won't pass the exam if you don't prepare? Then you are nothing special."
"Hey! Pei Rushi, are you holding a grudge against me just now? I just teased you for a little while, why are you still as petty as before?"
Shen Ruoyan smiled and stepped forward, saying quietly, "Since my cousin wants to concentrate on preparing for the exam, it seems that my cousin will not be able to enjoy the jar of peach wine in the cellar."
How could Qin Shaobei, who loved wine so much, bear to hear this?
"Don't! I'll help you, I can help you!"
He silently prayed for Lu Jing in his heart - it was all the fault of the peach blossom wine. If it wasn't so delicious, he wouldn't have accepted the bribe.
Cheap brother-in-law, don’t blame him in the future...
