Song Jingchen was speechless.
Lu Ming Academy was on the outskirts of the city. Although it could not compare to the four main academies in the city, there were many poor disciples.
rlWvo years ago, Fan Mingyuan was found and brought into the residence by the old master’s people. He was personally taken in as a disciple by Duke Song. At that time, he was already ten years old. Compared to the four academies with countless disciples, Lu Ming Academy was the most suitable for him.
Firstly, it would not make him feel uncomfortable. Secondly, the children of wealthy families had begun to be educated early on. Not only would he fall behind, but he would also lose his confidence as time passed.
Autumn Deer Academy was also a good choice. However, Duke Song and the dean of Lu Ming Academy were old friends and the dean could help take care of Fan Mingyuan. Therefore, they finally chose Lu Ming Academy.
Fan Mingyuan usually stayed in the academy and only returned to the Duke’s residence during a vacation.
The carriage stopped at the foot of Lu Ming Academy. Song Jingchen had just lifted the curtain when he saw a young man in green walking down the stairs with a servant. The other party also saw him and looked surprised.
Shi Quan was a servant beside him. He was the exact opposite of Shi An, who would die if he did not speak. He tried not to speak if he didn’t have to. Even though his Young Master had called him out, he only smiled dryly.
Song Jingchen glanced at the restless Shi An. “He made a mistake. I’m punishing him by not allowing him to speak today.”
Shi An was speechless. When did this happen? Why didn’t he know?!
Song Jingchen ignored him and picked up his teacup to take a sip. “The banquet won’t end until late in the afternoon. We have to eat outside for lunch.”
Shi An thought to himself, “Let’s go to a restaurant. The Yuelai Restaurant is not bad. The fragrant crispy chicken and phoenix tail shark fin inside are all top-notch delicacies. The Delicacy Pavilion is fine too. I can eat two bowls of rice with a serving of Eight Treasures Rabbit Ding. There’s also the Jade Belt Shrimp, Eight Treasures Duck, and Mandarin Fish...”
Fan Mingyuan felt that Song Jingchen was here to hide from the girls attending the banquet. He smiled and said, “Let’s go to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. My treat, but it’s still early. We can find a teahouse to listen to some stories first.’
Shi An was speechless.
While the two of them were discussing how to spend the next half a day, Madam Li’s eyelids did not stop twitching when she saw Little Jiajia following closely beside her.
Why did she feel that this banquet would not go smoothly?
