The Marquis' Wife
The third prince's wife

"There won't be any problem Lu Xiang. The craftsman said that although in the Murong kingdom there was no one who could create crystal glass but in the western kingdom already exists, we just have to say that we order it from business people who take goods from the western kingdom".

Lu Xiang shook his head again. "Here is different to dear Fucheng. If in Fucheng then we can use that excuse but here it is different, the above is a very suspicious person. They will definitely confirm that truth, we cannot be sure that our lies will not be exposed". He spoke in a soft voice, even though there were only them in this shop but Lu Xiang wanted to make sure that no one heard their conversation.

Adelia thought and it made sense, she sighed in annoyance at him, he had read the novel about the heroine who was caught in the background and space because it was too high profile in the capital so that it invited a lot of eyes and suspicion but now he himself will choose the path itself.

"You're right Lu Xiang. I'm rash, I'm not going to show off this crystal glass" Although reluctant because the design of the room will look perfect with the presence of crystal glass but Adelia does not want to take any risks.

"About what suitable replacement to fill this empty space?".

Lu Xiang thought for a moment. "What if you make a carving of a small shio animal out of glass. You can sell them as De Xiang's shop accessories along with wood carving tarts. You can work with Yang's craftsmen for the long term".

Adelia clapped her hands with her eyes full of astonished light, she then jumped towards Lu Xiang and hugged her happy husband. "That's a brilliant idea, baby! You are a genius!!".

Lu Xiang hugged his wife's slender waist, keeping her from falling over. "Where's the gift for me?".

Adelia's lips pulsed speechless would take the opportunity whenever her husband had the chance but she still kissed Lu Xiang's lips with lightning then let go before her husband reacted.

Lu Xiang was stunned by the very short kiss, he saw Adelia who felt victorious and stuck out her tongue with a cute gesture to him, he could only laugh resignedly. The more days Adelia can cope better with herself.

Finished inspecting the shop, Lu Xiang and Adelia brought Lu Cheng and Lu Shan who were tired of waiting around the inner city precisely in the shop district. Adelia and Lu Xiang bought Lu Cheng and Lu Shan, school bags and supplies in the form of stationery and textbooks to be used in the academy later, lu Xiang bought new paper and ink stones for him and jewelry and makeup for his wife. 

"We have to order winter clothes, Lu Cheng and Lu Shan's winter clothes last year are no longer wearable".

"alright".

Lu Xiang was already looking for information about the store in the inner city that had a good reputation and chose to go to the Heng Zhe clothing store that was famous for always being ordered by noble families.

"Welcome, can I help Mr Zhuangyuang?". The shopkeeper warmly welcomed the arrival of Lu Xiang's family.

"We'd like to order a few sets of winter clothes".

The clerk slightly raised his eyebrows in wonder why the venerable master Zhuangyuang did not tell the servants to come because usually noble families and wealthy business families told their servants to order but he immediately smiled back when he recalled the information that Lu Xiang came from a poor peasant family, even so he still did not put on an expression of ridicule because he knew the contribution and potential possessed by the man. "alright. Please come with me, since you first came to the Heng Zhe clothing store then we have to measure the size of your clothes first".

Lu Xiang nodded and left along with Adelia and her two younger siblings following the maid. Inside the spacious store, there are several spaces for measuring clothes and consulting on fashion and clothing designs that are popular in the capital. The shop clerk took Lu Xiang to one of the empty rooms and called the clerk who would measure the size of the clothes.

The clerk came quickly, introduced himself and explained what designs were popular in the capital to Lu Xiang and Adelia while showing sketches.

"We chose this and this. For the kids' clothes we chose this one and this one and then this one but I wanted to order a hat with matching colors but different designs".

"Yes".

The officer gave Adelia a paper and brush and saw a cute and cute picture of a child's hat.

"The design of the hat that you describe is very interesting mistress!. Would you like to sell this design to our store? We will offer you at a reasonable price". The clerk stared in amazement, knowing Lu Xiang as Zhuangyuang for seeing the Jinshi parade and automatically knowing that Adelia was the man's wife. He thought that Adelia although beautiful but still did not have broad insight because she came from the village but it turned out she was wrong.

Adelia smiled and nodded.

"alright. Now I will measure your clothes and your child first after that I will show this design to our manager to check what the selling price is. Hows madam?".

"All right!".

The clerk enthusiastically measured the body size of Lu Xiang's family clothes one by one before asking for permission to temporarily leave to meet his manager.

"Sister Adel. Are our winter clothes not mostly, we still have winter clothes last year?". Lu Cheng asked confusedly.

Adelia ordered 6 sets of clothes for her sisters making Lu Cheng who was used to a simple lifestyle and wearing two or three clothes during the winter a little uncomfortable.

"You are in the growth period, although winter clothes still fit but will be uncomfortable because it is a little tight so 6 sets of clothes is not a lot".

"But...".

"It has. Just accept what Adelia gave, after all Adelia ordered a lot of clothes because she did not want you to be ridiculed when she entered the academy later. In the capital there are many noble children who will one academy with you later".

Lu Shan folded his hands and raised his face haughtily. "I'm not afraid of them, if they dare to bully me or Lu Cheng then I will beat them up". A serious look and clenched hands showed that Lu Shan's words were no joke.

Lu Xiang slowly clenched his sister's head. "You can't do anything in the capital, big brother's status isn't high enough for you to do as you please".

Lu Shan did not really understand his brother's intentions, he also saw Lu Cheng asking for an explanation but all he received was a round of eyeballs with a puffed-up expression.

Lu Xiang wanted to explain the difference in social status between nobles and scholars as well as the class of office but the noise outside made him disengage his intentions.

Not yet had time to go out to see what was happening, a beautiful woman wearing luxurious and glamorous clothes entered with a few girls dressed in clothes.

"I told you to always empty this room for me, why don't you listen? Don't you appreciate the third prince's wife?".

Lu Xiang and Adelia were stunned. The two did not expect to meet Murong Xianting's wife, feeling shocked making them pensive for a moment but the sound of cries full of warning resuscitated them.
