Chapter 42: Rapid Progress
Seeing Yan Canglan and Ji Yunlin concentrating on their work, Lu Yundi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She quietly left the study and turned to the kitchen.
"Madam, what are you going to do?" Xiang Zhu, the maid following behind her, asked in confusion.
"Go prepare some food and let them come out to eat." Lu Yundi replied in a calm tone.
Xiang Zhu was a little surprised. Madam always respected the master's studies, but she didn't expect that she would respect him to this extent. She responded softly and followed Lu Yundi to the kitchen.
After a while, the aroma of food came from the kitchen. Lu Yundi personally carried the food and came to the door of the study again. She knocked on the door gently, and then said softly: "Canglan, Master Ji, it's time to eat."
Ji Yunlin nodded gently. He looked at Lu Yundi and smiled, "Madam, you are so considerate."
Yan Canglan raised his head, saw Lu Yundi, smiled slightly, and said, "We are studying, is there anything?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "It's getting late. I have asked someone to prepare some food. You can go and eat first."
Yan Canglan looked at the book in his hand and said hesitantly: "Mother, I am studying and want to finish this task before eating."
Ji Yunlin put down the pen in his hand, looked at Yan Canglan, then looked at Lu Yundi, and then said: "How about this, Madam, we bring the food into the study and eat while studying, this way we can do both."
Lu Yundi smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay then, I'll do as you say. You guys continue studying, and I'll have someone bring in the food."
The meal was brought in quickly and placed on a small table in the study. Yan Canglan and Ji Yunlin continued to study while eating. Lu Yundi looked at them and felt very relieved.
She walked to Yan Canglan's side, looked at his focused expression, and said softly: "Canglan, I am really surprised and relieved that you studied so hard on the first day. You know, I have always hoped that you can achieve something. Seeing you like this, I feel extremely relieved."
Yan Canglan looked at Lu Yundi and said with a smile: "Mother, I understand your expectations, and I will work hard. I still have many shortcomings, but I am willing to change and make progress."
Ji Yunlin also looked up at Lu Yundi and said, "Madam, Canglan is a smart man. He will definitely achieve something. Moreover, I admire his determination and perseverance."
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll leave first." Lu Yundi looked at them with satisfaction.
"Goodbye, madam." Ji Yunlin bowed respectfully to Lu Yundi.
Lu Yundi arrived at Qingfeng Tower with ease. This was an elegant restaurant located near the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong.
When you open the door, a faint fragrance hits you in the face, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Yan Shuqin had been waiting in the private room for a long time. When she saw Lu Yundi come in, she smiled gently, her eyes full of anticipation.
After they sat down, Yan Shuqin looked at the menu and said softly, "I want to eat something light today, how about a West Lake fish in vinegar?" Lu Yundi nodded in agreement and ordered a plate of shrimp with green skin and a West Lake water shield soup for her. The dishes were served quickly, and the two chatted while eating, the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
After dinner, Lu Yundi looked at Yan Shuqin's face and asked with concern: "How is it? How is the effect of the medicine?" Yan Shuqin smiled slightly and shook her head gently: "I feel okay, just a little tired." Lu Yundi then helped Yan Shuqin to the inner room and prepared a medicine soup for her.
Yan Shuqin was soaking in the medicinal soup, feeling warm. Lu Yundi was waiting by her side, wiping the sweat off her face from time to time.
After soaking for half an hour, beads of sweat had already appeared on Yan Shuqin's forehead. Lu Yundi wiped them off for her, then took out a silver needle and carefully gave her acupuncture.
Lu Yundi's technique was very good, and Yan Shuqin didn't feel any pain during the acupuncture process. She could even feel the sensation of ice and fire. Seeing that Yan Shuqin's complexion had improved, Lu Yundi didn't let her hold on for too long, and quickly withdrew the needles and let her rest.
While Yan Shuqin was resting, Lu Yundi sat beside her bed, looking at her quiet face, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She praised Yan Shuqin and Yan Canglan's looks and said, "You two are getting prettier and prettier. I like you more and more." Yan Shuqin opened her eyes and responded softly, "Mother is also very pretty and skillful. We are all very grateful to you."
Hearing this, Lu Yundi showed a relieved smile on her face. She patted Yan Shuqin's hand and said, "You are my only hope. I will do my best to take care of you." Yan Shuqin nodded, closed her eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
As the night deepened, Lu Yundi came out of Qingfeng Tower, feeling happy. She walked on the quiet street, feeling her fatigue swept away. The moonlight shone on her face, reflecting her gentle features.
She thought of Yan Shuqin and Yan Canglan, and her heart was filled with determination: "I must take good care of these two lovely little "cubs" Yan Shuqin and Yan Canglan."
Lu Yundi came out of Qingfeng Tower and asked Hongying what time it was. She was worried that the eldest master Yan Canglan had not returned yet, so she asked Hongying to go to the South Study to check. Hongying took the order and left. After a while, she hurried back and reported: "The eldest master is still in the study, and Mr. Ji is also there."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly and walked towards the study. She came to the door of the study and knocked gently. Yan Canglan's voice came from inside: "Come in." Lu Yundi pushed the door open and saw Yan Canglan sitting at the desk, holding a brush in his hand, writing something on the paper seriously. Ji Yunlin stood aside, looking at Yan Canglan's handwriting intently.
Lu Yundi arranged Yan Canglan's study place in the study room of Yan Zhimo, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, which was some distance away from where he lived. This was to allow him to stay away from the hustle and bustle and study with peace of mind. Lu Yundi found Yan Canglan practicing calligraphy in the study room, and Ji Yunlin was watching beside him, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.
Yan Canglan raised his head and saw Lu Yundi coming in, so he put down his brush and stood up to salute. Yan Canglan stood up, picked up a piece of paper and showed it to Lu Yundi. There were four names written on the paper: "Yan Canglan, Yan Shuqin, Yan Zhimo, and Lu Yundi". Lu Yundi looked at Yan Canglan in surprise. He didn't expect that he had made such great progress in such a short time. He couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and exclaimed: "I didn't expect you to be able to write your own name so quickly. It's really surprising."
Ji Yunlin also praised: "Young Master's comprehension ability and memory are outstanding, which is really amazing. As long as he works hard, he will definitely achieve success." Yan Canglan couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face after hearing this.
Yan Canglan smiled sheepishly and explained, "In fact, I didn't want to go to school before because I felt that as the eldest grandson of the Marquis's mansion, I could live a life of wealth and honor even if I didn't study. But now I feel that studying can allow me to better inherit the family's glory and contribute to the family."
