Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 141 Teaching in a trance

The next day, Liu Xun woke up and found that there was no one around him and there was no hairpin on the table. He thought he had just had a dream.

"It is really insane to have such an obscene dream."

Ran Qianxi did not return to Yu'an Marquis Mansion last night, so Xu Yuanchao personally sent Xu Mingxuan to school today.

He went back and forth to Ran Qianxi's classroom on purpose, and saw her playing and fighting with her classmates.

“That’s crazy.”

"Hahaha, you can't beat me, right?"

Shang Zilai was obviously giving in to her, but she looked smug and complacent.

"I'm willing to admit defeat."

"Yes."

She sat down leisurely, and suddenly saw Xu Yuanchao outside the door, so she walked over generously.

"My Lord, are you here to send your son to school?"

"Ah."

"Then have you eaten?"

"I have not."

Ran Qianxi returned to the desk and brought over a small pot of hot milk.

"Hey~ Sui Xue prepared this for me. I haven't touched it yet. You can take it and drink it."

Xu Yuanchao took it happily. He was in a good mood when he saw her, and felt uneasy when he didn't see her.

"it is good."

Ran Qianxi waved her hand gently.

"Go ahead, go ahead. I have to go to class. Tomorrow is a day off. I'll go over and copy the books."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Ran Qianxi smiled and walked back to the classroom.

"Master Xi, when did you become so close to Marquis Yu'an?"

"Oh, what good is that? But because the Queen Mother gave the order, he doesn't dare to show off to me anymore."

The first class was Liu Xun's. The moment he walked in, Ran Qianxi felt nervous and expectant for some reason.

"He should have forgotten."

Liu Xun looked at her, his eyes filled with excitement and longing, but he looked away after a moment.

"Attend class."

"Morning, Master."

Liu Xun was teaching passionately at the podium, and the students in the classroom were studying hard, but Ran Qianxi was holding her chin in her hand and was in a daze, with Liu Xun's outstanding demeanor in her eyes.

The two of them inadvertently made eye contact, and Liu Xun suddenly became dazed and distracted.

"Treat favour and disgrace as if they were your own; treat great trouble as if it were your own body..."

Ran Qianxi just looked at him, not understanding what he said at all, even though he suddenly paused.

"Master..."

Liu Xun was called back to his senses by Shang Zilai, and he was instantly frightened. Ran Qianxi had already deeply influenced him, and even his teaching became distracted.

"When I have no body, what do I have to worry about?"

Shang Zilai looked over with Liu Xun's gaze, not knowing why. His eyes were all on Ran Qianxi.

Shang Zilai: "Master... are you down?"

Liu Xun withdrew his gaze and looked at Shang Zilai, Ran Qianxi was still staring at him in a daze.

"Why do you think that honor and disgrace are so shocking, Mr. Shang?"

Shang Zilai stood up and Liu Xun sat down slowly.

"Favor is inferior. When you gain it, you are surprised; when you lose it, you are surprised. This is called being surprised by favor and disgrace."

Liu Xun nodded calmly and with satisfaction.

"What do you mean by valuing great troubles as if they were your own body?"

Shang Zilai smiled calmly, as if he had already known it by heart.

“The reason I have great worries is that I have a body. If I have no body, what worries do I have? Therefore, if you value your body for the sake of the world, you can be entrusted with the world. If you love someone who values ​​his body for the sake of the world, you can be entrusted with the world.”

Hearing Shang Zilai answering questions in class, Ran Qianxi immediately perked up. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he became like an unevolved ape, with a worried look on his face, just like listening to a book from heaven.

"Oh my god, I'd better stay in a daze..."

Liu Xun smiled with satisfaction, and his thoughts returned to the classroom.

"Very good, Mr. Shang can be a role model for our generation."

The students were full of envy and actually applauded. Ran Qianxi was forced to applaud without understanding a word.

"it is good…"

Hearing her clapping, Liu Xun looked over uncontrollably again, as if last night's dream was still in his mind.

"Let's continue."

Class Break –

Ran Qianxi was sitting on a stone bench, eating a wrap in her hand with relish, when she bumped into Liu Xun who was about to go home.

"Uncle-in-law."

Liu Xun paused, and Ran Qianxi walked over with a smile.

"Did you have meal?"

"Ate."

After saying this, he was about to escape, but Ran Qianxi grabbed his sleeve unexpectedly.

"So what did you eat? This burrito is delicious, do you want to eat it?"

He looked back slowly, but he had overestimated his self-control. When he saw the beautiful Ran Qianxi, his heart beat like crazy.

"I...I know..."

Ran Qianxi was stunned. His words were incoherent and he was deliberately evasive. Could it be that he remembered what happened last night?

"what happened to you?"

Liu Xun sighed softly.

"Nothing, I just had a strange dream last night."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyes and thought, he actually thought it was a dream.

"What dream?"

"It's not your place to ask. If you're still inattentive in class tomorrow, you'll have to copy the Analects a hundred times."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows in confusion, and punished herself whenever she was not happy.

"Ah...I have copied the Tao Te Ching a hundred times..."

Liu Xun's sharp look scared her so much that she dared not complain at all.

"I copied it a hundred times and still don't understand it today."

After saying that, Liu Xun turned around and left. Ran Qianxi frowned helplessly.

"Tsk! Why are you so arrogant?! It's just that Xier is screaming so urgently! You bastard!"

Liu Xun, who had not walked far, heard her last complaint and began to waver in his firm belief.

The next day, I met Anhou Mansion –

Ran Qianxi woke up slowly and as soon as she walked into the main hall, she found County Lady Luoyi. She had such a mistress's aura that made Ran Qianxi dazed.

"Where's Xu Yuanchao?"

Luo Yi glanced at her and ignored her. After a moment, the servant came up.

"Breakfast is ready. Miss Ran Er and Lady Luoyi, please enjoy your meal."

Ran Qianxi's mind was full of question marks. She did not sleep with Xu Yuanchao last night. Could it be that he slept with Luo Yi?

"You come~"

Ran Qianxi waved her hand secretly, and the servant walked up.

"What do you want, Miss?"

"Let me ask you, why is this county lady here? Where is Xu Yuanchao?"

"Replying to the Second Miss, the Lady of Luoyi County came here early, and the Marquis couldn't chase her away, so he went to send the young master to school."

Ran Qianxi nodded half-knowingly.

"Ahhh...go ahead."

"Yes."

Ran Qianxi took the seat first, and Luo Yi, with a look of disdain on his face, also sat down reluctantly.

"Eat, eat."

Luo Yi picked up the chopsticks without even looking at Ran Qianxi.

The two had an unfriendly breakfast, and Ran Qianxi took the initiative to copy the law code, and Luo Yi did not leave until noon.

Ran Qianxi stretched lazily, put down his pen, stretched his muscles, and walked out leisurely.

"Oh, I finally finished copying."

She left the Yu'an Marquis Mansion with the copied law code.

"Xu Yuanchao must be hiding from Luo Yi. Send him to the Ministry of War."

Ran Qianxi arrived at the Ministry of War just as General Manager Sun left, having just finished announcing the imperial edict.

"Excuse me, is Marquis Yu An in the yamen?"

The guard saluted.

"Miss Ran, do you have a pass token?"

Ran Qianxi was obviously in a dilemma. The Ministry of War was an important department of national defense, and one could not enter without a token.

"I only have the Queen Mother's token. How about you inform Marquis Yu An and see if he is available?"

The guard was embarrassed for a moment. After all, Ran Qianxi's identity was extraordinary, so it was understandable to give her some convenience.

"That's it, Miss Ran, please wait a moment."

Ran Qianxi smiled and the guard strode in to report.

After a moment, Xu Yuanchao walked out calmly.

"My Lord, I have finished copying. Please check it."

He slowly took the homework, checked it carefully, and found nothing wrong.

“No mistakes or omissions.”

Ran Qianxi was delighted. The punishment copying that lasted for more than three months was finally over, and she felt relieved.

"That's good, that's good. I'm going home now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and Xu Yuanchao grabbed her wrist.

"and many more…"

Ran Qianxi didn't understand, so she turned around and saw the reluctance in his eyes.

"Anything else?"

"I...haven't eaten yet..."

Xu Yuanchao tried so hard to keep her, and the two of them had been in an ambiguous relationship for a long time. Naturally, Ran Qianxi understood his feelings.

"You didn't eat a single meal?"

"Well, the Lady of Luoyi County came to visit me this morning. I didn't feel like having dinner with her because I was busy at the Ministry of War."

Xu Yuanchao never knew how to deal with women. Ran Qianxi alone was enough to worry him. As for County Lady Luoyi, he would avoid her whenever possible, not wanting her to have any illusions.

"Then~ I'll treat the busy Marquis Yu'an... to a good meal?"

Xu Yuanchao loosened his right hand and handed the copied law code to the guard.

"Thank you, Second Miss."

Ran Qianxi moved closer to him, her eyes conveying affection.

"It should be Lao Xier..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was taken away. This scene was seen by Manager Sun in the carriage, who exaggerated it again.
