Gu Chengyu has good looks. He was admitted as a scholar at a young age, and it spread throughout the house. He is an eight-year-old child prodigy. When she met her for the first time, she felt that Gu Chengyu looked like an old friend. But who would have thought that it turned out that
It's hibiscus.
If she hadn't met Hibiscus today, she might not have been able to remember this person. This meeting opened up memories that had been sealed for a long time.
"Mother!" Gu Chengli and Fang also got off the carriage behind them and walked up to Ms. Lu and called out.
"Oh! These are my eldest son and his wife! Call me Aunt Cui! They are my mother's old acquaintances." Mrs. Lu pointed at Cui Ming and said to them.
"Aunt Cui!" the two of them called in haste.
When Cuiming looked at Gu Chengli and his wife, he felt that they were not much different in age from Lu.
The eldest son's appearance bears no resemblance to Mu Jin. It seems that this is his stepson. So is Mu Jin really married to the widower?
"Mom! I still have something to do, so I'll go ahead. You and your elder brother and sister-in-law have bought things and are waiting for me in the teahouse in front." Gu Chengyu said goodbye when he saw that it was getting late and he had to go to the teacher.
Before leaving, Gu Chengyu winked at Ming Yan, and Ming Yan immediately nodded knowingly.
Ming Mo drove the carriage directly to the Liang Mansion. It was still early and Liang Zhirui should be at the manor.
"Girl! I heard from the front that Mr. Gu is here!" Qingdai walked happily into the room and reported to Yao Mengxian who was sitting on the stool.
Yao Mengxian was up now, and Lian Xin was combing her hair.
"Where did you go when you were not on duty to serve the girl?" Lian Xin frowned slightly when she saw Qing Dai entering the room.
Qingdai was on duty today. Who would have thought that as soon as she entered the room, she found the girl sitting on a stool with her clothes on, stunned.
Gao MaMa was not acclimatized yesterday and has been feeling unwell these past two days. The old lady in the house asked Gao MaMa to rest so that she would not get over her illness.
"My slave went to the big kitchen to fetch water and came late." Qingdai also wanted to ask for some information from the big kitchen because she was feeling very uncomfortable being detained for this period of time because her girl was not awake.
"Yesterday, the old lady pointed out four third-class girls and a few rough ladies and girls. There are so many girls and ladies in the yard, why are you still allowed to fetch water?"
In front of the girl, Lian Xin didn't want to say anything, but she and Qingdai came from the same house, so they naturally had some feelings for her and didn't want the girl to hate Qingdai.
"You haven't gotten used to it yet? Let those girls go next time." Qingdai also knew that she had made a mistake, so she quickly stepped forward and put the copper basin away, waiting for the girl to wash up.
Yao Mengxian has also been dissatisfied with Qingdai recently. It seems that the rules are not as good as before. Although the neglect these days has some results, it is only a little better than before!
It seems that Qingdai can't stay any longer. Of course she won't cause trouble in the Chiang Mansion, but if she returns to the tiger and wolf den, Qingdai can easily fall into other people's traps.
She doesn't think now that everything in the future will develop as in the dream. Qingdai's temperament is a little different from that in the dream, maybe she didn't notice it in the dream! Zhouzhuang Mengdie, who knows if these are true?
Besides, nothing in the world remains the same. Take Jieyuan Gu Chengyu as an example, isn’t he just a variable?
After Yao Mengxian had finished cleaning up, he sent the little girl to inquire about the old lady, so as not to run into Gu Chengyu who came to pay her respects. Although the two of them could barely be regarded as apprentice-nephews, they were of the same age, so it was better to avoid suspicion.
The little girl in the yard didn't wait long and came over, "The old lady doesn't have a foreign husband at her place. Young Master Gu is in the old lady's study room."
Gu Chengyu was discussing the matter of going to Beijing in Liang Zhirui's study room.
"After you go to the Imperial College, just concentrate on your studies and don't get involved in factional disputes too early." Liang Zhirui was a little worried about his young disciple going to the capital to study.
Gu Chengyu is young and has no foundation. He is still a good candidate in the provincial examination and is very popular. The most troublesome thing is that he is still his disciple.
"When students go to the Imperial College, of course they study seriously. However, sometimes, there are some things that they can't avoid just because they want to. Last time, the teacher talked about the general situation in the DPRK, and the students already had a preliminary understanding. Other situations are also
You can only know if you go to the capital. Teacher, don’t worry too much."
Gu Chengyu was grateful for his teacher's care, and he did his best for his disciple.
"You only studied with me for three years. How much have you learned in the Six Arts of a Gentleman? It's a long way to go to the capital. Even if I want to teach you, there is nothing you can do. You went to the capital and lived in your senior brother's house. Do you understand?
Go ask him."
"I have already asked my senior brother to buy a house in the capital. It is better not to stay in your senior brother's house and cause trouble. I'm afraid there will be too much inconvenience."
Gu Chengyu didn't want to live under someone else's roof! Although his senior brother treated him well, but living in someone else's house, he always had to be timid in doing things and would be restrained.
"I know you have money! You even bought a house in the capital, and I don't think you are so filial to me!" Liang Zuirui pointed at Gu Chengyu and cursed with a smile.
Gu Chengyu quickly shouted that he was wronged, "Don't I give you a lot of gifts every time I come here? I have food to show my respect to you and my wife!"
"Although the things you brought are good, they are not lacking in my house! That is not my favorite. Where is your tea set? Did you really give it away?"
Liang Zhirui is also a tea drinker, and the tea brought by Gu Chengyu is very good. He rarely drinks it on weekdays. He only drinks it when distinguished guests come. The tea set mentioned here was given to Master Wen.
That's what Gu Chengyu once told Liang Zhirui.
"I've even touched that purple clay pot! Alas! Although that tea tray is expensive, it can't compare to that pot!"
What Liang Zhirui couldn't forget was the pot. Gu Chengyu had taken it out for Liang Zhirui to take a closer look at, so Liang Zhirui became obsessed with it.
Gu Chengyu grinned for a while. His teacher didn't know that he had brought him a surprise!
"The student has been given to Master Wen. I thank him for his kindness in enlightening me. He deserves respect just like you!"
In fact, when he took it out, he had already said that he would give it to Master Wen, and he didn't know that the teacher would like the teapot. Later, after searching for a long time in the space, he found a similar one and planned to give it to Liang Zhirui.
"Okay! I also took a fancy to your character before accepting you as my closed disciple. Otherwise, do you think you can trick me with your meager tricks?"
"Hehe!" Gu Chengyu laughed dryly. He didn't think that people would fall into his trap at first. Is a person who can be the first assistant so easy to fool? However, he just wanted to attract his attention!
"That's right! When you go to the capital, be careful with your chief assistant Xia Qing! He and I have never dealt with you. If they know that you are my close disciple, they will ask the people below to make things difficult for you."
When Liang Zhirui became an official, Xia Qing took his place. Thinking about it later, he was just in a fit of anger at that time. Now, it's too late to regret it.
It was not that he was reluctant to give up power, but that after he became an official, there was one less person in the court who could compete with Xia Qing.
