Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

"Yes, yes! The young master treasures those golden bells very much and always carries them with him." Shu Tong B added hastily.

The servant C hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Madam, the young master took Jin Lingzi to Kowloon Street yesterday and played until very late before returning home."

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with worry when she heard this, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and said coldly: "In this case, then follow me to Kowloon Street until we find the young master. If you dare to hide anything, I will never let you off easily."

The servants were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they quickly nodded in agreement.

Lu Yundi took them out of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion, got on a carriage, and headed straight for Kowloon Street.

Inside the carriage, Shu Tong B said with a worried look on his face: "Madam, Kowloon Street is so big, what should we do if we can't find the young master?"

Lu Yundi glared at Shu Tong Yi and said in a cold tone: "If you can't find the young master, I will expel all three of you from the mansion. I tell you, no matter what the cost, you must find him!"

The servant Bing suddenly interrupted and said, "Madam, I know a place where the young master might go. There is a big cricket market there, and the young master likes the golden bells there very much."

Lu Yundi's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "Where is it? Take me there quickly."

The servant C hurriedly pointed the way, and the group arrived at the cricket market on Kowloon Street.

The place was crowded and bustling. The servant Bing led Lu Yundi through many twists and turns and finally arrived at a corner.

"It's here. The young master stays here for a long time every time he comes." The servant Bing said in a low voice.

Lu Yundi looked around and found that there were indeed many people showing off their golden bells to each other. She anxiously looked for Yan Canglan, and suddenly, a familiar figure came into her sight.

Yan Canglan was fighting crickets with a young boy. His eyes were focused and a smile was on his lips.

The crowd watching was talking about it, and people were placing bets from time to time, and the atmosphere was lively.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Yan Canglan's sight, and Lu Yundi walked over quickly.

There was seriousness and anger on her face, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Yan Canglan.

Yan Canglan was stunned, his smile disappeared instantly, and panic appeared in his eyes.

Lu Yundi's heart tightened, and he shouted, "Yan Canglan, what are you doing?"

Yan Canglan swallowed and tried to explain: "I... I was just fighting crickets for fun."

"Play?" Lu Yundi sneered, "Do you regard gambling as play? What do you regard your studies as? You skipped school to gamble and lost two hundred taels of silver. Are you going to ruin your future?"

Yan Canglan lowered his head, speechless. Lu Yundi walked up to him, snatched the banknote from his hand, and said coldly: "I will keep this banknote for you, and you are not allowed to gamble anymore."

Yan Canglan's eyes widened, and he protested angrily: "Why are you doing this to me? I just want to relax, what's wrong with that?"

Lu Yundi's eyes became more severe, and his tone was firm: "Gambling is a corrupt behavior. As the eldest son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, you should be strict with yourself and set an example. If you continue like this, you will only be looked down upon."

Yan Canglan gritted his teeth, feeling unwilling, but was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Just then, a pale-faced scholar passing by came over. He was wearing a green shirt, had a thin face, eyes as clear as water, and walked lightly.

The scholar looked up at Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan, smiled slightly, and walked forward.

"Madam, young master, this is the main street of Kowloon, a prosperous place with many talented people. I have something to advise you, but I don't know if I should say it or not?" The scholar bowed with a humble attitude.

Lu Yundi looked at the scholar and saw that he had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament. He secretly liked him and smiled, "Sir, you are too polite. Please tell me what you think."

The scholar turned to Yan Canglan and advised him seriously: "Young Master, respecting your parents is the duty of children, and filial piety must be observed. Young Master is now addicted to street gambling, which not only wastes your family's wealth, but also makes your parents worried. I dare to advise you, and hope that you can turn back from your mistakes, stay away from gambling, and concentrate on your studies."

Yan Canglan blushed upon hearing this, looking a little embarrassed. He was about to refute, but heard Lu Yundi softly say, "Young Master is right, Canglan, you should reflect on your behavior. This young master has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to take the exam and come here to advise you, which shows that he has good intentions."

Yan Canglan was unable to refute any further and could only lower his head and remain silent.

Seeing this, the scholar said, "I hope Madam can discipline the young master strictly, keep him away from gambling, concentrate on studying, and become a pillar of our dynasty."

Lu Yundi said with emotion: "Sir, you said what is in my heart. I will definitely discipline my rebellious son strictly."

The scholar smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "Madam, you are so wise, I am pleased. I wish your son a bright future and a rapid rise to prominence."

Lu Yundi looked at the scholar with respect in his heart, and returned the greeting with a bow: "Thank you for your teachings to my son, I, Lu Yundi, am deeply grateful."

The scholar waved his hand and said, "Madam, you are too kind. I am only trying to do my bit. Goodbye."

After saying this, the scholar bowed to Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan, then turned around and left in a graceful manner.

Lu Yundi looked at the scholar's back and sighed in his heart: Such a well-educated scholar is really rare in the world.

Thinking of this, she quickly called Hongying and instructed her, "Hongying, follow the scholar and make sure he lives there."

Hongying was slightly startled, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head and said, "Madam, is it really appropriate to do this? After all, you already have a family. If people knew about it..."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, looked at Hongying firmly, and patted her hand gently: "Hongying, you don't have to worry too much. I have no selfish motives. I just want to ask that scholar to be Yan Canglan's teacher and teach him some poetry and songs, so that he can become a more outstanding young talent."

Hongying's worries eased a little after hearing this, but she was still a little hesitant: "Then... Madam, how do you want me to follow that scholar? After all, I'm in the streets of Kowloon and I'm not familiar with the place."

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and he whispered: "Hongying, you just need to do this..."

The streets of Kowloon were bustling with people coming and going. Hongying followed the scholar carefully, fearing that she would be discovered. She secretly admired Lu Yundi's intelligence and thought of such a clever tracking method.

The scholar walked down the street, chatting with passers-by from time to time, and seemed approachable. Hongying followed closely behind him, and she admired the scholar more and more. Suddenly, the scholar turned into an alley, and Hongying hurriedly followed him.

The alley was quiet, with low houses on both sides. Hongying followed the scholar, keeping a certain distance. At this moment, the scholar suddenly stopped and turned to look at Hongying.

Hongying was startled and was about to dodge, but she saw the scholar smiling and saying, "Girl, you seem to be following me. What's the matter?"
