When the dandies are happy, they are all brothers. They are all playing together, and there is no distinction between them. But if they really want to argue, they will not save any face.
"What are you shouting for? Are you being beaten?" The blue-robed young master chuckled, "What's the point of coming back to get angry at us? We don't owe you anything."
"That is, whoever is going to fight is going to fight with whom, and what kind of attitude do you have with us?"
"Shen Er, you are boring now, but should I say it or not, these two slap marks are quite symmetrical."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others laughed.
This laughter was nothing more than adding fuel to the fire. Shen Chufan's head buzzed, and his eyes darkened with anger. Their smiling faces looked horribly distorted to him.
Unable to stay any longer, he turned and rushed out the door.
There was a burst of booing from behind, and he was in no mood to refute. There was wind under his feet, and he wanted to fly back to Kang Lebo Mansion to hide himself immediately.
Ruan Huaishu drew the curtain again and was chatting with Shen Lansui when he saw a panicked figure jumping out from downstairs.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at him for a moment, then shook her head and said, "You can't teach him. Sister, you'd better make plans in advance, otherwise he will cause trouble sooner or later."
Shen Lansui glanced at Shen Chufan's back and nodded, "I know."
"Let's not talk about him. Let's talk about you. Did Ruan Shoufu tell you about the last chrysanthemum appreciation feast?" She turned to look at Ruan Huaishu.
"I told you." Ruan Huaishu didn't hide it, nor did he mean to avoid it. He smiled and said, "Are you worried about me entering the palace?"
Shen Lansui nodded: "A free and easy person like you shouldn't enter that high gate."
"Yes, and no." Ruan Huaishu raised his eyebrows slightly, indescribably romantic, "I don't have any ambitions. In this life, I just want to eat and wait for death, get married and have children. I have never thought about it, but according to my grandfather's wishes See, he actually wants to recruit a wife."
"He has a special status, a high position and a bit of ambition. The princes are all thinking about me. I know that, doesn't your Majesty know that?"
Shen Lansui said thoughtfully, "If I were His Majesty, I would never marry you to any of his sons. Even if I have to choose one among the princes, it must be the future emperor."
"That's right, so don't worry about me. I've been dressing up as a woman all these years, and I've been able to come in and out without any scruples. Just because of my virtue, I can't get into the royal family."
Shen Lansui was stunned, realized something, and asked in a low voice: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Ruan Huaishu gave her a meaningful smile.
At this moment, silence was better than sound. Shen Lansui got the answer in his heart and laughed and said, "It's not easy for you either."
"I can't help it. I am the only one in my family. My grandfather is an upright and honest man."
After Ruan Huaishu finished speaking, she stood up. The book in the lobby had come to an end. She leaned on the railing and clapped along. She turned around and asked, "You've finished listening to the play, are you hungry?"
"A bit, I'll treat you to a bar." Shen Lansui stood up.
"As promised, I will invite you out, and of course I will also invite you to dinner." Ruan Huaishu walked up to her and said.
Shen Lansui shook his head, "Besides, I also want to ask Zanghua to do a small favor, and this meal will be my reward."
"Oh?" Ruan Huaishu raised his eyebrows curiously.

After dinner, Shen Lansui took Ruan Huaishu directly to his jewelry shop.
It was dinner time, and there was no one in the shop. The shopkeeper was standing behind the counter calculating accounts. He slowly raised his head when he heard footsteps. When he saw Shen Lansui, he immediately said in surprise: "Why is Madam here?"
Without waiting for Shen Lansui to answer, he came over with the account book in hand, his face full of excitement.
"The pieces of jewelry Madam left behind are selling very well. I have made more money in the past few days than in the past half month!"
Ruan Huaishu also became interested after hearing this, "What kind of jewelry is so popular?"
Shen Lan smiled: "This is what I'm asking you to help me with."
She said to the shopkeeper: "Bring over a set of jewelry and the men's hair crown I newly designed."
"yes!"
Shen Lansui led Ruan Huaishu around the shop and finally sat down in a booth.
The shopkeeper soon came back with a big box.
"Dear guests, please take a look. This is our newly made jewelry from Hanzhu Pavilion. They are all fashionable styles and are very popular among young men and women."
He opened the lid of the box, and Ruan Huaishu was immediately attracted by the jewelry inside.
The jewelry has a unique shape, is full of sparkle, and the colors of the gemstones are bright and bright. Even she who doesn't like to dress up is attracted by it.
Shen Lansui looked at her expression and smiled happily: "It seems that my design is still very successful."
Ruan Huaishu was surprised, "Did you design these?"
Shen Lansui nodded, "I drew the shape and asked the shopkeeper to find a craftsman to type it out. After a few revisions, the final shape is what you see now."
The shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear, "This butterfly hairpin is the best-selling one recently. Do you like it?"
Ruan Huaishu carefully took the hairpin, and the butterfly's hollow wings were still trembling slightly, shining with silver light.
After watching it for a long time, she sighed: "My sister can't starve to death just relying on this craft."
Shen Lansui opened the box containing the hair crown, took out a light jade crown and said, "Compared with jewelry, Zanghua wears crowns more often. Do you like this?"
Ruan Huaishu looked solemn, took it with both hands solemnly, and looked at the sun to admire it.
The jade crown is light and thin, the texture is transparent, the hand is delicate, and the crystal white is flawless.
There is even a Soaring Cloud Spirit Deer carved on the front half of the palm, which looks quite lively and interesting.
The more Ruan Huaishu read, the more he liked it, "How much silver does this crown cost?"
"It doesn't cost anything. I give this to you. All you need to do in the future is wear it when you go out and make a living sign for me."
Shen Lansui closed the jewelry box and said, "These are the same. You can take them back. If you have girls you know well, you can give them as gifts."
"How can I enjoy such a great gift with peace of mind?"
Ruan Huaishu refused to agree, so Shen Lansui tried to persuade her, so she reluctantly collected the money for the jade crown and only paid for the jewelry.
After giving her the money, she asked Shen Lansui to change her clothes. The two of them sat in front of the dressing table. Ruan Huaishu looked at Shen Lansui through the bronze mirror and suddenly said, "Do you want to learn the art of disguise?"
Shen Lansui was surprised: "Can you do it?"
Ruan Huaishu raised his lips and smiled, "Of course, if you are happy today, I will show you my hands."

It was already dark when Shen Lansui returned to Pinglan Courtyard. The lights were on in the bedroom, and a slender figure was reflected on the window paper.
Her hurried steps couldn't help but slow down, and she asked Mulan in a low voice, "When did Sanlang come back?"
Mulan said truthfully: "Go back to Madam, the master has been back for an hour."
"Is dinner ready?"
With a "squeak" sound, the window was pushed open, revealing Lu Xingyue's handsome face. He only had half of his hair tied up today, and the remaining half was draped behind his back. His aura had been reduced a lot. With the light blue brocade robe, he looked so much. A bit of a gentle bookish spirit.
Shen Lansui's eyes lit up, he walked briskly up the steps, and looked at him through the window, "Why is Sanlang dressed like this today?"
