The Hanlin Academy, Rongchuan sent his father away and took out half of the fruit in his hand to share. These were fruits that the Hou Residence had just acquired, transported from the south; they are not yet for sale in the capital.
Rongchuan kept half of them to take back for his uncle and aunt and the rest of the family to eat.
Scholar Lv spoke up after Rongchuan left, "Is Marquis Ning perhaps too generous towards your future brother-in-law?"
If it hadn't been so blatantly obvious that it was favoritism towards Zhang Rongchuan, he would have overthought it. Now, he was only pondering why Marquis Ning was so good to him; the influence on the Zhou family and Zhou Changlian was not insignificant.
Chang Lian thought to himself that it was because Rongchuan was his father's son, but he couldn't say that aloud, "It's about personal chemistry."
Scholar Lv didn't buy it, "Personal chemistry calls for sending such expensive fruits? And baskets of them?"
