Lian Manman was quietly speculating and worrying, when she saw Shen Qian listening to Steward Zhong’s words without any obvious emotional fluctuations, just pondering silently. The expression on Steward Zhong’s face became even more anxious.
Shen Qian waved his hand, seeming to silence Steward Zhong, and slightly turned his head, looking over toward Lian Manman.
Perhaps seeing that Lian Manman was somewhat worried, Shen Qian smiled at her, as if to reassure her.
Lian Manman pursed her lips slightly; she was a bit worried about Shen Qian. The kind of things that a family like the Shen Family can provide for their descendants are unimaginable for ordinary people, but at the same time, the constraints and demands they place on their descendants are equally unimaginable. In this world, everything has two sides, just like there is daytime there will be night, there is sunshine there will be shadow.
Shen Qian said something to Steward Zhong, and Steward Zhong, along with another steward, retreated to the side.
"Manman, Fifth Brother, Xiao Qi, I have to go back." Shen Qian walked over alone, smiling as he spoke to Lian Manman, Wu Lang, and Xiao Qi.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, did something happen at home?" Wu Lang asked.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, can’t you stay another day?" Xiao Qi said reluctantly.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, did you sneak out for fun by yourself?" Lian Manman asked in a low voice.
"Nothing’s wrong at home, they just sent someone to find me because I stayed out so late." Shen Qian said, glancing at Lian Manman, his eyes twinkling, "And no, I didn’t sneak out for fun. Today, it was agreed that I could come out and play for a day. Well, I just... along the way, hoped to see you..."
To come all the way from the Prefecture City, such a long journey, just by chance indeed, Lian Manman thought.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, you saw us." Xiao Qi said.
"Yes." Shen Qian smiled, then turned to Wu Lang, "Fifth Brother, you should come to Shengjing Academy after the first month, right?"
"Yes." Wu Lang nodded.
"There might not be a place to stay in the academy, and it’s not usual to always stay at an inn. Stay at my place, I’ll have someone prepare a courtyard for you..."
"No," Wu Lang hurriedly waved his hand, "In the future, I’ll be going to the Prefecture City often, our family has already discussed it, and we plan to acquire some property in the Prefecture City."
Hearing Wu Lang say this, Shen Qian’s gaze fell on Lian Manman’s face, then darted to Xiao Qi’s face, and back to Lian Manman, as if asking, is this true?
Of course it’s true, Lian Manman thought.
"Yes, Brother Xiao Jiu, our family is going to buy a house in the Prefecture City. That way, when my brother goes to study, he’ll have a place to live. When we go to the Prefecture City to play, we’ll also have a place to stay." Xiao Qi said, his eyes sparkling brightly, clearly filled with joy and anticipation for acquiring property and going to play in the Prefecture City.
Shen Qian’s lips curved into a smile as well, seemingly just as joyous and expectant as Xiao Qi about the Lian Family’s plans.
"Just in time, a few days ago I heard Steward Zhong and the others say that some familiar families have several excellent houses about to change hands. Fifth Brother, if you’re going to acquire property, remember to tell me first. While I might not know much about these things, the stewards in our family are well-informed." Shen Qian earnestly said to Wu Lang.
As they were talking here, it seemed that Steward Zhong was getting quite anxious over there, yet didn’t dare to step forward and urge.
"Naturally, I must thank you first, Xiao Jiu." Wu Lang replied.
Planning to acquire property in the Prefecture City, they were unfamiliar with the place, and Wu Lang originally intended to ask classmates in the city for help. Now with Shen Qian’s offer and the Shen family’s stewards assisting, things would go even more smoothly.
Shen Qian spoke with Wu Lang for a while, and in front of everyone, he didn’t particularly talk to Lian Manman, just occasionally cast smiling glances her way without lingering.
Over there, Steward Zhong was almost sweating from anxiety, yet Shen Qian remained calm, having arranged a date with Wu Lang to go to the Prefecture City, inviting Lian Manman and Xiao Qi to visit as well, and then saying goodbye to Wu Lang, Lian Manman, and the others one by one, before finally turning around and boarding the carriage brought by Steward Zhong, surrounded by others.
After Shen Qian got on the carriage, Steward Zhong only had time to clasp his fist in farewell to Lian Shouxin and the others before escorting the carriage straight to the city gate.
Calculating by the journey, it was expected that Shen Qian would only arrive back at the Prefecture City in the early morning of the next day.
"This time, Brother Xiao Jiu definitely didn’t tell the adults at home. He just said he was playing in the Prefecture City, then secretly sneaked over here to play." As Shen Qian’s carriage went far away, Xiao Qi stroked his chin in contemplation, saying.
