When it came to this matter, Lu Pengfei looked like he couldn't live without love, and sighed: "Why, it's not just to discuss the marriage. You know, I wanted to wait for two years before mentioning this matter, but Mr. Lu of my family doesn't want to mention it."
Agreed, ugh, it’s really annoying!”
Shi Jingyang played with the tea cup in his hand and asked, "Aren't you taking the scientific examination soon? Shouldn't you be preparing for the exam with all your heart at this time? Why did Mr. Lu even propose a kiss to you?"
Lu Pengfei spread his hands and said helplessly: "That's what I told Mr. Lu in my family. As a result, do you know what they said?"
Shi Jingyang looked at Lu Pengfei curiously and asked, "How do you say that?"
Lu Pengfei imitated Mr. Lu's tone, "What kind of material are you? Others don't know, but you don't know it yourself?"
After reading books for many years, you still don’t understand the principle of self-awareness?
For other students, the scientific examination is the icing on the cake. For you, the scientific examination is to bring you back to your original shape and let others see clearly the truth that you are uneducated and incompetent.
If you don't make an appointment as soon as possible, who's wife will be willing to marry you later?"
After saying that, Lu Pengfei spread his hands and said angrily: "Qing'an, look, what has become of me in the heart of my Mr. Lu?
In his eyes, I am just an embroidered pillow. No, the embroidered pillow is too high.
Mr. Lu of my family said that the embroidered pillows look good, but my face is incompatible with the embroidered pillows.
Tell me, how could anyone harm his own son like this?"
Shi Jingyang looked Lu Pengfei up and down, nodded and said, "Master Lu's words are a bit excessive. With your looks, the embroidered pillow can still be used."
"That's right." Lu Pengfei agreed casually, and immediately realized something was wrong. He grinned at Shi Jingyang and said, "Qing'an, you..."
Lu Pengfei raised his hand as he spoke, preparing to hit Shi Jingyang.
Shi Jingyang raised his hand and said with a smile: "It's a joke, Hong Guang can't take it seriously."
Lu Pengfei was just showing off, but if he really wanted to do it, he would not be Shi Jingyang's opponent with five of them.
Naturally, I gave it up as soon as it was good! I fell down in the group chair dejectedly.
Shi Jingyang looked at Lu Pengfei and asked, "Master Yi Lu, do you want you to follow the path of Enyin?"
Lu Pengfei nodded, "Yes!"
Shi Jingyang comforted him and said, "Don't be sad. If this is the case, you should be happy."
"What's there to be happy about being looked down upon by my father?" Lu Pengfei curled his lips and replied.
Shi Jingyang raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Lu Pengfei and said, "What's the use of anger?
If I were you, I would either listen to Mr. Lu and follow the path of Enyin.
Or prepare well for the exam and show Mr. Lu a second-ranking Jinshi exam, so that he can look down on you.
Besides, if he wants to negotiate a marriage for you, just let him do it. If you are a male college student, what does it matter if it is two years earlier or two years later? There is no escape from the relationship. It is better to settle down sooner rather than later."
Shi Jingyang was not comforting Lu Pengfei, he knew that Master Lu was just trying to provoke Lu Pengfei.
In his previous life, Lu Pengfei was a Jinshi on the second list.
Lu Pengfei always obeyed Shi Jingyang. After listening to his words, he sat up straight and said seriously: "I was just so angry that I didn't think about it carefully.
Thinking about it carefully, Qing'an's words make sense. I should prepare well for the exam and win two Jinshi positions. I have to speak with my strength so that Mr. Lu, my family, has nothing to say.
It’s just the matter of discussing marriage that makes people worry, I really don’t want to discuss marriage.”
"It's time for male students to get married, and for female students to get married! Hongguang, this is an unacceptable idea." Yang Haozhuo opened the door and came in.
When Yang Haozhuo walked in and saw Shi Jingyang, he cupped his hands and said, "Qing'an arrived first?"
Shi Jingyang nodded towards him, "I just happened to be at Sanpinxuan to do something." As he said that, Shi Jingyang bent down and brought the teapot to pour tea for Yang Haozhuo.
Yang Haozhuo sat down next to Shi Jingyang, took a sip of tea, looked at Lu Pengfei, and asked, "Is there someone in Hongguang's heart?"
Lu Pengfei was shocked when Yang Haozhuo saw through his thoughts. He glanced at Yang Haozhuo and Shi Jingyang evasively, waved his hands and denied, "How could it be? It's nothing. I just find it troublesome and want to live freely for another two years."
They both grew up together and know each other's temperament very well.
Seeing Lu Pengfei's expression, Shi Jingyang knew that Yang Haozhuo had hit him right. He sat up straight and asked, "Tell me, which house is this young lady from? Are you two in love or do you have unrequited love?"
Lu Pengfei waved his hands in panic and denied: "Really not..."
Shi Jingyang stared at Lu Pengfei and asked, "Really not?"
Yang Haozhuo asked: "If she's not a young lady from some house, could she be an oiran from some restaurant?
Yes, you must have fallen in love with someone's oiran, and Mr. Lu has figured out what you are thinking.
That’s why Mr. Lu forced you to discuss marriage, isn’t that right?”
Yang Haozhuo gave full play to his imagination, and the more he talked, the more he felt that what he said made sense.
He stood up and sat next to Lu Pengfei, put his hand on Lu Pengfei's shoulder, and said sincerely: "Hongguang, our friend for many years, you must tell us the truth, Qing'an and I will help you. Right, Qing'an!"
Shi Jingyang took over and said, "Of course! Hongguang, if you have any difficulties, just ask. Whether you are going up a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, we will help you."
Yang Haozhuo patted Lu Pengfei on the shoulder and raised his chin, "Did you hear that? As long as you say it, we will definitely help you, not only Qing'an and I, but also Yingzhe. Yingzhe will never stand idly by if he knows about it."
When it came to Ning Yu, Lu Pengfei raised his hand to block Yang Haozhuo's hand and said seriously: "It's really nothing, don't talk nonsense. By the way, I heard that Yingzhe has had a lot of trouble recently. Is it true?"
As soon as Lu Pengfei finished speaking, Chen Xing came in and reported, "Sir, the people who went to Minghui Lane came back and said that Mr. Ning is not in Minghui Lane."
Lu Pengfei looked at Chenxing, "Not in Minghui Lane..."
Without waiting for Chenxing to reply, Shi Jingyang replied first: "Yingzhe hasn't been staying in Minghui Lane recently, so you can go down first."
Chenxing bowed in agreement and exited the private room.
Lu Pengfei looked at Shi Jingyang and asked, "What? Yingzhe moved back to Qili Street?"
Shi Jingyang shook his head and said, "No, Yingzhe lives in Baoping Lane."
"Aquarius Alley?"
Lu Pengfei and Yang Haozhuo asked at the same time. They looked at each other and Yang Haozhuo asked, "Did something happen again?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Something happened."
Shi Jingyang picked up important things and talked to the two of them.
After hearing this, Lu Pengfei and Yang Haozhuo fell into deep thought. After a while, Lu Pengfei said: "It's not easy to be a wise man."
Yang Haozhuo said with some worry: "Grandpa will feel sad knowing that so many things have happened to Yingzhe."
Lu Pengfei said angrily: "Mrs. Xiao Zhao has gone too far! Yingzhe is in trouble too, can we try to help him?"
Yang Haozhuo sighed and said, "This is Yingzhe's family matter. As Mrs. Zhao is Yingzhe's mother, we can't interfere. How can we help?"
Lu Pengfei picked up the tea cup and drank all the tea in one breath, "How can there be such bad people in the world? This really pisses me off."
Shi Jingyang sighed slightly and consoled him: "When Yingzhe encounters such a thing, it is a disaster in his life. I believe he can handle it well. Don't be sad, either, so as not to affect your preparation for the exam."
Yang Haozhuo asked: "What is Mrs. Zhao's purpose for doing this?"
Shi Jingyang shook his head, "I don't know."
Lu Pengfei snorted: "What can I do? Stop Yingzhe from taking the scientific examination! He must be afraid that Yingzhe High School will overshadow Ningyang's limelight.
This woman is so bad. She harms others but does not benefit herself!
Yingzhe High School has no harm to her, only benefits. Why should she treat Yingzhe like this?"
Yang Haozhuo nodded thoughtfully, "Well, it's very possible. When Yingzhe came to his grandfather's name, Ning Yuanwailang took the opportunity of sending Yingzhe to the school and told his grandfather that he wanted Ning Yang to come to the school to study."
"What else happened? What happened to Grand Scholar Yang?" Lu Pengfei asked.
Academician Yang must have refused, otherwise Ning Yang would not have stopped studying at the Yang Academy.
Shi Jingyang wanted to know how Master Yang returned.
Shi Jingyang looked at Yang Haozhuo, waiting for his answer.
Yang Haozhuo said: "You two also know your grandfather's temper and he is very particular about recruiting disciples. He didn't want to waste his time on people he didn't like, so he rejected Ning Yuanwailang on the spot."
Lu Pengfei said: "Mrs. Zhao won't hate Yingzhe because of this, right?"
Yang Haozhuo nodded and said: "It's very possible."
Shi Jingyang thought for a while and said: "This should only be part of the reason. If a person has the root of jealousy in his heart, he will be biased in his judgment.
Yingzhe and Zhao lived under the same roof again... things in the back house couldn't be explained clearly in a few words.
You can only rely on Yingzhe to do these things, we can't help."
Lu Pengfei agreed with Shi Jingyang's statement and said, "What should we do? Just watch Yingzhe being bullied and miss Qiu Wei?"
Yang Haozhuo shook his head, "This can't be like this. I'll go back to my grandfather to discuss it and see if we can let Yingzhe live in the house until the spring of next year. This way, Zhao will have no chance to make a move."
Lu Pengfei nodded and said: "This is a good idea, I think it will work."
Shi Jingyang said: "It's a good idea. I'm just afraid that Yingzhe won't want to do it."
Yang Haozhuo thought of something and nodded: "Yes, Yingzhe is now living with Mrs. Qian and Miss Ning. Even if he lives in the house, he will not feel at ease."
"What should we do?" Lu Pengfei asked with a frown.
Shi Jingyang said: "Actually, the situation is not that bad now.
The guards in the Xu Mansion are very strict, and Yingzhe and his family live in the Xu Mansion, so the Zhao family should have no chance to make a move.
I will send a few more people over and ask them to be responsible for the safety of Yingzhe and others when they go out, until Yingzhe successfully attends the Spring Festival."
Yang Haozhuo and Lu Pengfei couldn't think of a better way than this, "This is the only way. I hope Yingzhe can take the scientific examination smoothly."
The three of them chatted for a while before they dispersed.
Hu Rui returned to Baoping Lane. The next day, after breakfast, she saw Zaohua and Mulberry doing laundry in the yard and asked, "Miss, haven't you gotten up yet?"
Zaohua smiled and replied: "To tell you what to do, sir, Miss gets up at the end of the day every day, washes up, goes to the old lady's place, and has breakfast with her.
At the moment, the young lady is reading in the study room."
Reading? You don’t need to take a scientific examination, so do you need to be so diligent?
Hu Rui nodded, "Thank you, I understand."
Hu Rui walked to the study door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Ning Wei's voice sounded in the room.
Hu Rui pushed the door open and walked in. Ning Wei looked up at the door and saw it was Hu Rui. She stood up with a smile and said, "Sir is here, please come this way."
Hu Rui pressed his hand and signaled Ning Wei not to move, "Miss, sit down and don't move."
Hu Rui walked to sit opposite Ning Wei as he spoke.
When Ning Wei saw it, he sat down with a smile, bent down to get a clean cup, poured tea for Hu Rui, and said, "Sir, please have some tea."
Hu Rui picked up the tea and took a sip, put down the cup, looked at Ning Wei and said, "What I said on the day I came back to Miss."
Ning Wei was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered what she had asked before, and she felt hopeful in her heart. She wanted to know what Shi Jingyang would do with Hu Rui? Should he let her go back or let her stay?
Ning Wei looked at Hu Rui with a smile and said, "Okay! Sir, please tell me."
Hu Rui saw the expectation in Ning Wei's eyes, and suddenly remembered the concern in the prince's eyes when she arrived yesterday.
Hu Rui was a little curious about the relationship between the Crown Prince and Miss Ning. She had a vague feeling that the friendship between them was more than just friends...
Hu Rui said: "In the following days, as long as I stay with the lady, I will be the lady's person and obey the lady's orders."
After hearing this, Ning Wei stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Hu Rui.
Hu Rui was so shocked that he quickly stood up and moved aside, saying, "Miss, I can't do it. Now I am the lady's servant. I obey the lady's orders, and the lady is my master. If the lady salutes you, that is killing me."
I’m down.”
Ning Wei looked at Hu Rui and said seriously: "Sir came to my side when I was in danger and protected me. You deserve this gift."
Hu Rui met Ning Wei's clear gaze and saw the sincerity in Ning Wei's eyes, which made Hu Rui's heart soften and a warmth arose from the bottom of his heart.
Hu Rui was shocked by this feeling. She was as alert as she was. You must know that years of training have long made her calm, and even a bit hard-hearted. She looks at people and things with a cold eye and will not get emotional lightly.
Hu Rui said expressionlessly: "Okay, just this time. From now on, in front of others, I will be your husband, and behind others, you will be my master."
Although there was no smile on Hu Rui's face, his voice was much softer.
Ning Wei smiled and responded, "Okay, whatever you say will be whatever you say, sir. Please sit down, sir."
Hu Rui nodded, returned to his seat and sat down. Just as he was about to ask questions, Sang Ye came in in a panic and said: "Miss, Madam brought someone here to cause trouble again. Madam Liu has not returned home yet.
At this moment, Madam was quarreling with the steward of Xu Mansion in the main courtyard, and the old Madam has already passed."
Ning Wei nodded, "I understand, you go down first."
Sang Ye retreated.
Hu Rui said: "What are your orders, Miss?"
"Huh?" Ning Wei looked at Hu Rui, their eyes met, and she immediately understood what she meant.
He shook his head and said: "There is no need to do anything, this is Xu Mansion, Zhao family does not dare to mess around.
Her grandmother is her elder. Even if she hates her very much in her heart, she would not dare to do anything to her in front of outsiders.
Otherwise, the reputation she has worked so hard for so many years will be ruined.
On the contrary, in front of me, she is an elder. I have to be humble in front of her, otherwise, it will be unfilial."
