On this day, Xiang Zhu came back with the herbs. She carefully presented them and said, "Madam, I have bought all the herbs. Here is the remaining silver."

Lu Yundi took the herbs and examined them carefully, with a hint of relief in her eyes. She put away the remaining silver and said to Xiang Zhu, "You have worked hard, go and have a rest."

After Xiang Zhu left, Lu Yundi handed the herbs to Madam Hu and asked her to boil the medicine. She sat in front of her daughter's bed, gently stroking Li Li's hair and praying silently in her heart.

Jiang Jilian walked into the room and saw his wife so worried. He patted Lu Yundi on the shoulder and said, "Madam, don't worry. Li Li will get better."

Lu Yundi looked up at her husband, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "My Lord, I feel much more at ease with you around."

......

"Student Jiang Yinli greets Master Lu Yuan."

Jiang Yinli, who was standing by, immediately greeted the old master respectfully at the hint of his father Jiang Jilian.

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. Master Lu Yuan smiled gently, with a hint of kindness in his eyes, and said slowly: "Jiang Yinli, do you know why I am here today?"

Jiang Yinli was slightly stunned, then he replied respectfully: "I don't know, but I hope to listen to your teachings."

Master Lu Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes swept across Jiang Jilian, and then fell back on Jiang Yinli: "I came here to visit my old friend, and secondly, to examine your academic performance and character. Jiang Jilian, your son is really well taught."

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly and said modestly, "Master, you are too kind. I still need to work harder. Yinli, why don't you thank Master Luyuan?"

Jiang Yinli immediately bowed and said, "I am Jiang Yinli, a student. Thank you for your praise, Master Lu Yuan. I will live up to my father's expectations and study hard."

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion was harmonious and solemn. Master Lu Yuan looked at Jiang Yinli, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and then said: "I have a question for you."

Jiang Yinli replied solemnly: "Master, please speak."

Master Lu Yuan said slowly: "What do you think loyalty and filial piety are?"

Jiang Yinli thought for a moment and replied, "I think loyalty and filial piety are the great ethics of human beings. Loyalty is loyalty to the country and the monarch; filial piety is filial piety to parents and elders. The two complement each other and can achieve great things."

Master Lu Yuan nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Good, very good answer. Then, how do you achieve both loyalty and filial piety?"

Jiang Yinli pondered for a moment and replied, "I think that first of all, we should be filial to our parents and respect our elders to fulfill our duty as sons; secondly, we should be loyal to our country and do our part to make it prosperous and strong. There is no contradiction between the two. As long as we care about our country and act uprightly, we will naturally be able to be both loyal and filial."

After hearing this, Master Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "Great, a perfect example of loyalty and filial piety. Jiang Yinli, I am glad that you have this heart. I hope you can be consistent in your words and deeds and achieve great things."

Jiang Jilian smiled aside, feeling secretly relieved.

My son has been recognized by Master Lu Yuan, which will undoubtedly be a great help for his future.

"Jiang Yinli, your academic performance is excellent, which is what I expected. But you know, knowledge is not just knowledge in books, but more about application and practice." Master Lu Yuan said earnestly.

Jiang Yinli accepted the teaching humbly and replied: "I understand what you taught me. I will always remember that I should not only learn book knowledge well, but also apply what I have learned to practice and make contributions to the country and the people."

After hearing this, Master Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with approval. He turned to Jiang Jilian and said, "Jiang Jilian, your son is not only excellent in academics, but also has a patriotic heart. This is his blessing, and also yours."

Jiang Jilian smiled and nodded, his eyes full of pride. He turned to Jiang Yinli and said earnestly: "Yinli, you must remember that learning is for application, and loyalty and filial piety are for practice. You must keep Master Luyuan's teachings in mind and strive to become a loyal and filial son with virtue and talent."

Jiang Yinli replied respectfully: "My father taught me, and I will definitely remember it in my heart."

Jiang Jilian and Jiang Yinli saw the master off together. Before leaving, Master Luyuan said to Jiang Yinli, "Jiang Yinli, I have high expectations for you. You must work hard and don't let your father and yourself down."

Jiang Yinli replied respectfully: "I will live up to your expectations and work hard to move forward."

After Master Luyuan left, Jiang Jilian returned to the hall, looked at Jiang Yinli, and said with a smile: "Yinli, you performed very well today. Master Luyuan spoke highly of you, it is your honor."

Jiang Yinli said modestly: "Father, you are too kind. I just did my duty. In the future, I will work harder and live up to the expectations of father and Master Luyuan."

......

The next morning, the morning light shone through the window lattice into the warm room of Zhenxing Marquis's mansion. Lu Yundi sat in the main seat, with a calm demeanor and a hint of concern in her eyes. Jiang Lili and Jiang Zihan walked into the warm room one after the other, each bowing and saluting.

"Mother is fine." The two sisters spoke in gentle voices, but Jiang Lili's face looked a little pale and a little weak.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, his eyes lingered on Jiang Lili for a moment, and his tone was full of concern: "Lili, your body is not fully recovered yet, you can't get out of bed to pay your respects."

Jiang Lili smiled slightly, trying to hide her discomfort: "Don't worry, mother, the child is fine, just need to take good care of himself."

Jiang Zihan interrupted and said, "Sister, you have to take good care of yourself. You have enough troubles in this mansion. Don't let anything else happen to you."

Jiang Lili gently patted Jiang Zihan's hand and said with a smile, "I know, don't worry, sister."

Lu Yundi couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw the two sisters being so intimate. She coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention: "An interesting thing happened in the mansion recently. Do you know?"

The two sisters smiled at each other, and Jiang Zihan spoke first: "Is mother talking about the two kittens? I heard that they actually climbed onto the roof and made the old housekeeper so angry that his beard was crooked."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "That's exactly what happened. The two cats are lively and cute, and they add a lot of fun to the mansion. But the old housekeeper was indeed frightened by them."

Jiang Lili gently stroked the table, thought for a moment, and said, "Mother, since these cats are so naughty, why don't we find an opportunity to send them to the farm, where there is more space and they won't cause trouble in the mansion."

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with approval: "Li Li is right. However, these cats are pets of the mansion after all, so let them play in the mansion for a few days before making any plans."

Jiang Zihan blinked and asked curiously, "Mother, who sent those two cats? Why are there suddenly two more cats in the mansion?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a nostalgic look in his eyes: "These cats were sent by your uncle. He said that he raised these two cats since they were young, and now that they have grown up, he sent them to us to keep them company."
