The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"Your shoes are a bit plain, but you don't have to be too frugal. I have two boxes of pink beads here. You can take them all and make some jewelry or use them on clothes or shoes."

Song Shengfu asked Su Xia to take out the two boxes of pink pearls she had found earlier.

Lu took a look at the quality. Not only were the grains large and full, but each one also shone with a lustrous luster. They could be called top quality.

"Mother, how can your daughter-in-law take your things? You should take them back."

Song Shengfu waved her hand dismissively. "They were just pink pearls, only worth a bit of money in this era. There was no point in keeping them in the vault. I might as well use them to make some jewelry or something, something that would be pleasing to the eye."

"Just take it, it's not worth anything. You are my daughter-in-law, I deserve to love you, do you think you are not worthy of an old man like me?"

Lu quickly said she didn't dare, and took it with a smile.

Then he thought about making something, one set for himself, one set for the second sister of the Left Prime Minister, and one set for the children at home.

"Xuan'er is almost four years old, why haven't I seen him playing recently?"

Only then did Mrs. Lu realize that the children who used to live in the yard were nowhere to be seen. No wonder her mother's yard always felt a little deserted these days.

"He always wants to study with Sister Wei and Brother Kang. Look, for several days now, when his sister goes out in the morning, he always follows her."

Song Shengfu thought of the boy who could run and jump, and her eyes were filled with joy.

"Oh, I've been so busy these days that I didn't even realize there was a literary star in my family."

In the past, Mrs. Lu was worried because Kang Ge'er didn't like to study.

Now that I know that Xuan'er is so well-behaved and is still eager to go to school, I feel like the crooked seedling in the family has finally stood straight.

"You don't know this. Xuan'er has already memorized the Thousand Character Classic and the Hundred Poems. Even Master Cheng said he is calm and steady, and has a wise and bright mind."

"Okay, okay, that's great. I was saying that Xuan Ge'er has been smart since he was young."

Song Shengfu looked at Lu and was so happy that if someone didn't know, they would think this was her child.

But it’s better this way, it’s much better than the indifference and neglect in the previous life.

After school, Xuan'er was hugged and kissed by his aunt whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Xuan Ge'er blushed a little. Being hugged by his aunt like this, he was reminded of that strange embrace that he almost couldn't remember the feeling of.

But he also nestled greedily in his aunt's arms, just like his mother holding him in his memory.

"Mother, why are you holding Xuandi so tightly and not letting go? Look, Xuandi's face is red from being strangled by you."

Kang Ge'er looked disapproving and raised his hand to rescue Xuan Ge'er.

Mrs. Lu looked at Xuan'er in her arms and found that his face was very red. She thought he was too hot, so she put him down.

Xuan Ge’er: Brother, you don’t understand me.

Xuan Ge'er felt a little regretful, but he also knew that it was against the rules.

Xuan Ge'er was mistaken. Rules are dead, but people are alive. Regardless of other people, Kang Ge'er was even held and fed by Lu when he was six years old.

But after all, he has lost his biological mother, so his mind is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

Sister Wei noticed this, and Song Shengfu also noticed it.

"Brother Xuan, come here and tell Grandma what you learned from them today."

Xuan Ge'er raised his foot, his steps steady and graceful, giving him the feeling of a little adult.

He sat down next to Song Shengfu, his back straight, his posture elegant, his face extremely serious, and he told her everything he had learned today.

"He's different after a few days of reading. Look at Brother Xuan, he's like a smaller version of Master Cheng."

When they saw this, everyone was surprised. It was true. Sitting there, his behavior and demeanor were very similar to Master Cheng.

"Master Cheng is bright and handsome, with elegant manners. He is like a pile of stones like jade and a row of pines like emerald green. If Xuan-ge follows him, he will surely become a young man of the brilliance of a stepping stone and a jade tree in the future."

Lu kept praising, and although Xuan'er hadn't learned it yet, he knew that she was praising the Master and him.

Thinking of the Master's tall and majestic figure, Xuan Ge'er also felt a sense of closeness to him.

Looking at the young and lively Xuan Ge'er, Song Shengfu felt relieved, but more helpless and sad.

Children who are separated from their parents will not be as happy at home as they are at their own, even if they are at their uncle's house.

Poor Sister Wei and Brother Xuan are so young, but they have already figured out this truth.

Song Shengfu has never given birth, but she knows that a father plays an important role in a child's life.

Xuan Ge'er came here when he was two years old, so his memory may be a little vague.

This won't do. Xuan Ge'er needs someone who can play the role of a father to him. Master Cheng is a master, so he is not suitable.

"Xuan'er is grown up now, it's not right for him to stay in my courtyard all the time. And Wei'er, Minghua Courtyard has been cleaned up, right? Let's just wait until Xuan'er turns four and then both children move out."

Hearing this, Sister Wei and Brother Xuan both looked at Song Shengfu.

The first one to react was Xuan Ge'er. Unlike the serious look just now, a look of helplessness appeared on his little face.

"Grandma, Xuan Ge'er doesn't want to move out. I want to live with you."

As he said that, he ran into Song Shengfu's arms and hugged her tightly. He was a little angry and didn't want to look up at her.

Sister Wei also came forward and said that she didn't want to move out and wanted to spend more time with her grandmother.

Song Shengfu patted the little one in her arms, looked at the two children and said with a smile:

"What's the big deal? You should have your own yard when you're old enough. You should have been given a yard after your birthday, but it was delayed by various things. Now's the perfect time. You've also started learning housekeeping from your aunt. After you move out, you should practice on your own and learn more from your aunt."

Sister Wei had known for a long time that after the beginning of this year, the mansion would start cleaning up her yard, so she would have to move out sooner or later.

"The Minghua Courtyard was cleaned up a long time ago, but it hasn't been occupied for a while, so it's been open for a while. There's a small garden and a pond in the courtyard, so it's cooler to live in now."

Minghuayuan was also the courtyard where Duan Jingwen lived before she got married, and there were still many things in it that she didn't take away.

Seeing that her grandmother and aunt had already made up their minds, Sister Wei didn't want to refuse them.

Xuan Ge'er still refused to give in. He sat in Song Shengfu's arms without saying a word, his little face showing obvious sadness and unhappiness.

Seeing that Xuandi was unhappy and everyone was trying to comfort him, Kang Ge'er went forward and held Xuandi's hand.

"Brother Xuan, can you please move out and live with me? We have a good relationship. If you live with me, you won't be afraid anymore, and I can protect you."

Xuan Ge'er's originally calm mood became sad again after hearing this, and his little mouth turned up as if he was about to cry.

When Song Shengfu heard Kang Ge'er's words, alarm bells rang in her heart.

Forget about following Kang Ge'er.

Don't pull out my good seedlings.
