The Marquis' Wife
Lu Xiang the bucin

Glass is a luxury item because only a few years ago it was spread in the Murong dynasty from the west so that only rich people can order it. Glass is usually only used as a window, there is no madman who ordered glass just to make a selling rack.

Due to the luxury goods, glass was not sold in a small town like Cheng city therefore he had to go to Qingchen district to order it.

"Where did you get this picture of student Lu?" The woodcraftsman was amazed to see the picture that Lu Xiang showed.

"What craftsman Su can make?" Lu Xiang did not answer the question.

The famous craftsman Su in Qingchen district nodded. "But it will be very expensive. You know for yourself student Lu that glass is a rare item".

Lu Xiang had expected that, for a moment he hesitated but still nodded. "How much does it cost?"

"About 7 silver coins"

Lu Xiang was surprised, 7 silver coins could be used for a whole year by the common people and it was only for a selling table shelf?!!.

Lu Xiang's lips pulsed speechless.7 silver coins could even buy a small house with a little yard in Cheng city.

Lu Xiang opened and closed his mouth several times until he finally resigned and agreed. He did not know that the cake shop would spend a lot of money even before opening it!. He gave the money and went home with an unwilling expression.

Adelia was stunned to see the look on her husband's face.

"You why Lu Xiang?"

Lu Xiang let out a long breath. "Your cake shop is very expensive Adel. For the cake rack alone spent 7 silver coins".

Adelia was stunned, not expecting the glass to be so expensive, but she ordered it anyway. "I want to make an exclusive cake shop for the upper class so the appearance must be elegant, not what expensive later will also return capital".

Adelia was still 9 silver coins from the sale of hawthorns pills and still had enough before selling chocolate at Fuyuan restaurant.

During the day they began cleaning the shop, before painting the landscape using oil paint. He was grateful at least he could paint with good quality when he was in college.

Adelia spent three days before the landscape was finished and then stuck it to the wall. Cashier chairs and tables and seating waiting for customers are done, just waiting for the glass window of the craftsman Su before it can open the first cake shop.

"Lu Xiang's! I didn't expect to see you here. Are you back in school?" A long-haired young man in a bun partly wearing a jade konde stitch, the young man wore an elegant shirt worn by students from among nobles and businessmen.

"Chen Xirang?".

Chen Xirang struck Lu Xiang's shoulder with pleasure. "It's good to see you again, buddy".

Lu Xiang smiled slightly. Chen Xirang was one of his friends at the Academy, along with Song Yuan and Wang Tianjin whom he had heard had already passed the prefectural examination. He thought that Chen Xirang also graduated from not seeing you in the Academy.

"How are you?"

Chen Xirang nodded. "good. How's you?".

"I'm also kind" Lu Xiang paused for a moment. "Why are you still here?". Although it would be awkward to ask that but he still asked because his friend was no less intelligent than the other two friends so it was impossible if they graduated and he did not.

Chen Xirang shrugged his shoulders. "I'm sick and can't take the exam". Chen Xirang came from the Chen family which was a businessman, his wealthy father had many concubines so that the state of the family became more complicated than ordinary families.

Chen Xirang was the second son of a legitimate wife, his brother will be the heir to the business and he intends to become an official so as to protect his family because in reality the businessman is the lowest status in the Murong dynasty after servants and slaves.

When Chen Xirang started school at the Academy, he often looked down upon or scorned expressions from among the other students. Luckily, he became friends with Lu Xiang and became friends with Song Yuan and Wang Tianjin through Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang sighed at Chen Xirang's reply but at the same time was also glad that a friend was accompanying him for the joint exam. He patted Chen Xirang on the shoulder. "We can take the exam together".

Chen Xirang nodded in agreement.

"I'm home".

"Aren't you home?!" The cool Lu Chen and Lu Shan sitting in the back yard chair ran over to Lu Xiang.

"Where's Adelia?" Lu Xiang gently stroked the heads of his two younger siblings.

"Sister Adel in the kitchen brother" Lu Shan replied enthusiastically, the day he would eat fish meatballs and chicken chrysanthemums again, hearing his name alone had made his saliva reminisce.

Lu Xiang simply smiled and stepped impatiently into the kitchen. He saw Adelia who was busy wrapping chicken thighs with flour and then wetting them with eggs before dressing them back with flour while in a squeeze before dipping them in oil.

"I'm home" A soft voice came out without Lu Xiang being able to prevent it.

Adelia looked over and smiled sweetly. "You've returned Lu Xiang, wash your hands for a while and have dinner ready".

Lu Xiang crouched down and hugged his wife, inhaling in the body scent that he had always longed for. "Um"

Adelia pushed her husband slowly, ever since their first kiss Lu Xiang became so sticky and unashamed in hugging and kissing him when he wanted to sleep, going to the Academy as well as coming home from it made his face turn red mercilessly. On the one hand she was happy with the change but on the other hand she was not able to adapt to her husband's behavior.

"Don't bother me. Dinner is ready soon. Call Lu Chen and Lu Shan".

Lu Xiang still quietly hugged his wife tightly. "I miss you". He became a pussy after kissing Adelia which made him always want to taste his wife's ranum lips.

Adelia's face was turning out. "Lu Xiang" he said in a warning tone.

"Um, do you miss you" whispered Lu Xiang in Adelia's ear making the girl even more curled up in her arms.

"I... " Sadly Adelia, she could not say anything, her face heated up until her eyes began to tear.

"What's my wife?" The love-drunk Lu Xiang was getting closer to his wife.

"I-I missed you. Are you satisfied... "

"What are you doing?"

Lu Xiang's voice left the two stunned and Adelia pushed Lu Xiang firmly to the ground.

"We didn't do anything Lu Shan. Are you hungry, quickly grab the plates, chopsticks and glasses, soon the chicken will be ripe". Clearly Adelia with a flushed face.

Although his gaze was still suspicious, Lu Shan still nodded his head in surprise.

Adelia breathed a sigh of relief to see her sister disappear while the perpetrator sat on the ground floor and laughed softly. Teasing that girl is fun.

"Humph!" Adelia snorted in annoyance and returned to cooking.
