He pressed her into his lap “You little rascal, what you say is better than what you sing." 


Shen Xiangwan blocked him from twisting her hand and quickly jumped up by pressing his leg, muttering angrily in protest.


“Young Master, the girl is still a little girl, you can't mess around like this. ”


Murong Rongzhi hadn't really thought about what to do with her, just now he just looked at her, and made an intimate behavior naturally. At this time, she was protesting with a serious face, her serious little face, stretched like the teacher in the courtyard, was obviously a very cute girl, but she had to learn that old school style.


“Puff!, a little girl who is ashamed. Is it possible that the smelly girl thinks that this Young Master is looking at you and wants to try something? What’s wrong with you?" This girl is really thinking too much.


Shen Xiangwan stared at him in surprise, her cheeks flushed, her little hands entangled.



The little girl looked over with bright eyes, and her excitement made Murong Rongzhi wave his hand impatiently again.


Shen Xiangwan looked lost, “Oh, obviously, the girl is very cute and well-behaved, isn't she loved by everyone? ”


She protested in a low voice and glanced quietly with big eyes. This delighted Murong Rongzhi and poked her forehead hard.


“A stinky girl, you want to be beautiful. Hurry up and cook. ”


“Yes, my son. ”


Turning around, Shen Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief.


In fact, young people have an uncontrollable desire to possess beautiful people and things.


This little master is at the stage when his feelings are beginning to sprout. If he really has a different affection for her, he will not be easy to handle.


After such a gag, even if she was laughed at a few times, she wouldn't care. As long as you keep yourself safe. Fortunately, that person is not a difficult person, and it is easy to talk to when he arrives.


When Shen Xiangwan went out, Murong Rongzhi realized that he had come back to find the stinky girl to settle the account.


But after talking to her, this account is now forgotten, and it feels like it has become a confusing bill.


"Fine, nothing, she was originally an unintentional person, why should I bother to screw her up like this. It's just a stinky girl.


After thinking about it like this, Murong Rongzhi also let go of it in his mind and concentrated on doing his homework.







The days passed quickly, and soon, it was time for the school-age children of Murong Manor to take the entrance exam to Linglu Academy.


Early in the morning, the Second Madam got up early. After dressing herself properly, she drank some nourishing soup before putting down the bowl and saw a maid come in lightly.


“Madam, Concubine Ping said that after a while, she would bring Young Master Feng and Ninth Young Master together. 


“Well, after a while, I will take a carriage with Concubine Ping to Linglu Academy. ”


The men are very concerned about the children in the family.


Therefore, as a woman who manages the backyard, it is most appropriate to do well the things that men care about the most.


Sending young children to Linglu Academy every year is also an achievement for women. If any branch has young children who have been admitted to Linglu Academy, they will be rewarded by the Murong family. People in that branch will also be valued a bit more.


As for the Second Madam, she hopes that the more such talents, the better. The large number of talents in her hands means that she is a good manager of the manor.


It is a pity that there have not been too many people from the Murong family who have been admitted to Linglu Academy.


When the children of the five direct descendants of Master Murong's family add up, there are always a few who have to be assessed every year. Of course, there are also people who have not been able to pass the exam in previous years and will be re-assessed this year.


At this time, people from all rooms gathered in the lobby, and there were no fewer than twenty children


Coupled with the Madams and Concubines in several courtyards, for a while, the entire hall seemed to be a large area of darkness.


Each and everyone whispered in a low voice, either to tell this or to tell that.


When the Second Madam entered the house, everyone who was still whispering straightened their waists. Concubines greeted her enthusiastically and asked the children to say hello.


Looking at these healthy children of all colors, the Second Madam’s eyes were a little misty.


When will she be able to take her children to Linglu Academy for exams like these Concubines and wives? Even if you don't pass the exam, it's better than having no expectations like this.


It's just that she didn't have a child to take the exam. These people greeted her with flattering and low smiles. Holding the real power in the family is better than anything. After thinking about it like this, she regained her self-confidence, raised her head, and walked into the hall with her chest up.


Her gaze fell on the child in the corner not far away.


All the children who came had concubines, wives, etc. by their side.


The children who belong to the five big rooms are clearly separated from each other. The only child in that corner looked out of place. They were originally inconspicuous, but now they are extremely eye-catching.


However, the child just stood there with his head down, clenched his fists tightly, and seemed very nervous and scared.


Is this person the child who has recently been rumored to be taken care of by  De Fei?


The second madam squinted her eyes, and in order to show her love for the child, she beckoned to him.


“De’er, come to Second Aunt. ”


The child in the corner didn't look up. A child not far away dragged his clothes. “The Second Aunt called you. ”


The little doll raised his head, his face flushed.


“Auntie... Hello auntie…”


Although it is extremely cute, the Second Madam who looked at him in such a flustered manner was really unhappy.


She originally thought that if this child was a good one, maybe she could also think of ways to change his status. But looking at it now, it doesn't make much difference.


With a glance, there were twenty children, and the Second Madam nodded lovingly.


“Are you all ready? ”


“Yes. ”


“Okay, then follow us. If you pass the exam, there will be rewards for each room and courtyard. Not to mention that the person who is admitted to the college can get a reward of ten taels of silver, and he can also get the special grace of offering incense to his ancestors during the New Year. ”


Hearing this, all the twenty children present were full of expectations.


The Second Madam glanced at the lonely child in the corner again. When she looked at him, he hurriedly lowered his head, looking timid and afraid to move forward.……


Shaking her head gently, the mistress no longer paid attention to the child who could not support the wall. Turn around and take people to Linglu Academy.


But in the corner, Murong Xiude clenched his fists secretly.


“Sister Wan, I'm coming to the academy...”"
