Therefore, Gu Chengyu ignored Jiang Kenan's dark expression and drank a few more drinks.
Now that I think about my behavior just now, I feel funny. It is not wrong to make others angry just because of this.
Because they agreed to have a banquet, Gu Chengyu didn't pay the bill afterwards, otherwise it would be a slap in someone else's face.
What's funny is that when Jiang Kenan was paying the bill, he even glanced at Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu did not intend to make friends with such unclear people in the future.
He knew that Jiang Kenan's family was not well-off, but it was a rare banquet among colleagues and he made such a gesture, which would inevitably make people look down upon him.
If it were you, no matter how much you feel sorry for the money in your heart, you would still have a smile on your face.
Otherwise, if you are known to be stingy in the future, who will be willing to socialize with you?
When he opens his mouth to eat others, he has a smile on his face. When it is his turn to treat others, his face droops.
In fact, Jiang Kenan is not that bad. Gu Chengyu only likes to say a few sarcastic words about his senses from time to time, and he is a bit stingy.
Secretly I despise myself for being so hard to argue with Jiang Ke. I am really getting younger and my temperament has become childish.
"Why are you laughing? You must have drunk too much, right?" Seeing Gu Chengyu shaking his head and giggling, Zheng Lun thought that Gu Chengyu had drunk too much.
Gu Chengyu walked to the desk, poured a bowl of tea and drank it in one gulp, then wiped the water stains on the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, leaving Zheng Lun and Zhu Pang stunned.
"Tsk! It seems you are really drunk!" Zhu Pang tutted.
Ever since he met Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu had always been gentle, modest and polite.
Your daily behavior is all polite and well-mannered. Have you ever done such a discourteous thing?
The movement of drinking tea was like those of those reckless men, very heroic. However, Zhu Pang felt that Gu Chengyu looked a little more real like this.
Gu Chengyu didn't say anything about Jiang Kenan. It was not his style to talk about people behind their backs.
"I'm not drunk. This little wine is nothing. I also promised to invite you to get together, but I didn't expect you to come today."
Gu Chengyu then sat on the chair in front of the desk, eyes slightly closed, feeling the rare relaxation at this moment.
"I heard that you are going back to your hometown, so we came to see you. To see if you have been promoted, you won't recognize us, our former classmates and friends!"
Zhu Pang put down the paperweight in his hand and snorted coldly at Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu touched his nose when he heard this. He had indeed been a little busier recently.
Without answering Zhu Pang's words, he turned around and asked Zheng Lun, "Are you busy recently? You have just entered the Hanlin Academy, so there must be a lot of things going on, right?"
Gu Chengyu knew that the Hanlin Academy was busy, and Zheng Lun, as a common scholar, had a lot to learn.
"What do you think? You can tell by looking at Zhong Huai whether you are busy or not." Zheng Lun rolled his eyes.
Zhonghuai is Ye Zhiqiu's cousin, and Zheng Lun's Ye Zhiqiu and Sun Xian are both cousins to each other.
Gu Chengyu heard Ye Zhiqiu say that when he first entered the Hanlin Academy, maybe because of the delicate relationship between him and Xia Qing, Ye Zhiqiu was indeed very free at that time.
But later, the emperor summoned Gu Chengyu alone two or three times, and Ye Zhiqiu had a good relationship with Gu Chengyu.
Those people are used to following the wind, and after Gu Chengyu was promoted to a higher rank, Ye Zhiqiu's life in the Hanlin Academy became easier.
"Hey? Are you going to the flower viewing party at the Princess's mansion tomorrow?"
Zhu Pang was asking Zheng Lun. Zheng Lun was the son of the Hou family and had not yet been engaged. He should be invited.
Zheng Lun was a bit confused, but he actually didn't want to go. But his mother insisted on him going, and said she wanted to find a wife for him.
He knew that his mother had recently engaged him in Zhangluo, but how could any of the real aristocratic families take a fancy to him?
When the Marquis Mansion is divided, his father's branch will become a side branch. In addition, it is a concubine's house. How much of the family property can be divided among the families?
At most, we can give them ten thousand taels of silver and it will be considered a separation. If the eldest family refuses, they may not be given ten thousand taels of silver, and no one will care if they are given a few thousand taels.
Originally, his father only passed the imperial examination and had little ability in career development or business. In his grandfather's words, he was not very useful.
Since he is not valued by his grandfather, he will not even say a few words of help when the family is separated.
The reason why you are so kind to his father recently is because you have been admitted as a Shujishi. The aristocratic family has a weak relationship. If you are not a direct descendant, don't expect to get much resources from the family. Unless you have the ability to let the family value you.
"What will happen if you don't go? You also know that my mother has been proposing marriage to me recently, and she has chosen two or three families, but they have rejected her outright. If you want me to say, don't worry about the family opinions, just find someone who is knowledgeable and reasonable.
"
Gu Chengyu didn't know that Zheng Lun was talking about kissing her recently, that's right! Zheng Lun is nineteen years old this year, so it's time for him to talk about kissing her.
He also understood what Zheng Lun meant. It was just that Zheng Lun's mother showed some interest to the people who liked her, but they rejected her directly. In fact, this is also very common in aristocratic families.
No one comes directly to ask for marriage, otherwise, if they are rejected, wouldn’t it be a shame?
Usually, one would ask a familiar lady from an aristocratic family to have a chat. If that family also has this intention, then everyone will be happy, and then a matchmaker can be found to formally propose the marriage.
If you don’t mean it, you will decline politely. Or you may not think it through clearly and you need to find out the character of the other person’s child first, which will drag on for a while.
Most of those people only considered Zheng Lun's background. It seems that Zheng Lun's mother should be looking for someone with a high status.
In fact, if Zheng Lun's mother had put aside the feudal views of the Hou family and found those whose fathers or grandfathers were of lower rank, there would be very few people who would disagree. Unless she had already set her sights on another family's descendants and would not break the contract.
Because the Hou family has not yet been divided, and Zheng Lun is now a commoner, his future prospects will definitely be good.
Zhu Pang sighed slightly, "Let me tell you, don't belittle yourself. After all, the fate has not come yet."
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but glance at Zhu Pang. This time Zhu Pang finally said something obediently.
"After all, you are the one who is getting married. I finally got some words." Gu Chengyu teased Zhu Pang.
Zhu Pangbnn's face turned red and he yelled again, "Humph! Don't just watch the fun, you are also fourteen this year, it will be your turn next, Zheng Lun and I are still waiting to drink your wedding wine!
"
Gu Chengyu didn't expect that the fire would burn on him again, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Didn't I just say that I'm going to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow? I happen to be going there too, so I'll go with Senior Brother Zheng tomorrow!"
Zhu Pang and Zheng Lun immediately turned their attention to him. Zhu Pang was impatient and asked quickly: "Did you also receive the post?"
Gu Chengyu replied casually: "Yes! Where is Senior Brother Zhu? Have you received it?"
Gu Chengyu asked this question because Zhu Pang was already engaged and had even chosen a date to get married, which would be four months later.
The purpose of the flower-viewing party is self-evident. They are all boys and girls. There are some who have decided to go there, but they are also a minority.
