Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth to do things
"Gu Chengyu also studied in the Imperial College before. Although he has been admitted to the first place and has become an official, they still often communicate with each other." When Yu Ting said this, he suddenly smiled.
"Does Brother Ji still remember the fight between you and Zhu Pang?" Yu Ting looked at Ji Mingxuan with a half-smile, mocking Ji Mingxuan's narrow-mindedness in his heart.
When Ji Mingxuan saw Yu Ting's narrow smile, he couldn't help but show embarrassment on his face. He laughed at him for being narrow-minded, but how good was Yu Ting himself?
He had also heard that it was because Yu Ting wanted to see the beauty of Miss Xiyan, the courtesan of Tianxiang Pavilion, that he found a sour poem from somewhere and wanted to win the jackpot, but in the end he asked Gu Chengyu to intercept it.
I also heard that later on, not only did he lose face but also his reputation, so he paid everyone some money to drink wine.
Ji Mingxuan moved the tea bowl to his mouth, covering up the disdain raised on his lips.
Yu Ting's grandfather was Yu Zheng, the Minister of Rites, and his father was only a fifth-rank official, so naturally he could not be offended.
In fact, Yu Ting is just because of his good background! Otherwise, he would not want to deal with such an idiot who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
"Zhiyuan! Are you saying that what happened last time was because Zhu Pang was unreasonable? Brother Yu was a good person and didn't offend him. Why did he speak rudely and start a fight first? Is this his tutor from the Zhu family?"
When Ji Mingxuan thought about this, he felt incredible. Ji Mingxuan thought that he had nothing to do with Zhu Pang.
We did play together once before, but that happened half a year ago, and I didn't provoke Zhu Pang after that. I don't know what was wrong with him, but he punched Zhu Pang as soon as they met.
Zhu Pang is Gu Chengyu's good friend, so Yu Ting and Ji Mingxuan naturally share the same hatred.
"Brother Ji! That's exactly what you said. In my opinion, you have to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he will think you are weak and can be bullied!"
Yu Ting fanned the flames around Ji Mingxuan. Ji Mingxuan was beaten badly by Zhu Pang last time. As the saying goes, you don’t slap someone in the face, but Ji Mingxuan got hit several times on the face!
Zhu Pang has always liked to practice some boxing and kicking, but Ji Mingxuan is not diligent and has been studying for several years with a book in hand. Of course, he can't beat Zhu Pang.
Although he knew that Yu Ting was trying to support the fire, Ji Mingxuan also had this intention. But he never liked to be the first to do things, so he had to leave a way out for himself no matter what, right?
Ji Mingxuan rolled his eyes, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "To deal with Zhu Pang, there is no chance today. He is brave and foolhardy, and his mind is very simple. But? Mr. Gu next to him is a bit tricky!
"
Yu Ting's eyes lit up after hearing this. Did he want him to participate and teach Gu Chengyu a lesson?
Gu Chengyu on the other side didn't know that these two people were planning to cause trouble. He was still listening to several people commenting on the young master here!
"Hey? Isn't that Lu Chen, the second young master of Zhan Yuanhou Mansion? He is here too?"
Bian Yunyi glanced at a man who came in from outside the door and said to Gu Chengyu and others.
When Gu Chengyu heard that he was an acquaintance, he raised his head and took a look. Sure enough, it was Lu Chen! He was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Lu Chen was not even older, right? He estimated that he was around 20 years old. How come he wasn't married yet?
The next person who came in at the door was Liang Shaoen. He and Lu Chen often played together, so I'm afraid they came together this time.
Liang Shaoen is the nephew of Madam Yin Kun, Mrs. Liang, and the legitimate son of the Anhe Hou Mansion, but he is only the third son!
As soon as these two people came in, many young masters greeted them, which showed that they were popular. However, it may also be because of their status. Of course, the most important thing should be Lu Chen's face.
After all, the Anhehou Mansion is now a well-known shabby residence in Beijing. Who really values Liang Shaoen?
It is true to say that the Anhehou Mansion is a ruined residence.
At that time, Liang Zhirui became the chief minister of the dynasty, but he was a side branch of the Liang family, but he was not yet in the fifth service with his own family, Anhe Hou Mansion.
Now that the Liang family has a chief minister, the Hou family must not have any more high-ranking officials. At that time, the emperor was weakening the power of the family, and An and Hou were not very capable, so it was normal for them to be suppressed.
Now An Hehou is only a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, that is, a fifth-level official. However, this is not too desolate.
The original Marquis of Anhe Mansion was a military general born in a poor family. He passed the martial arts examination with his good skills, and later made great contributions to the late emperor's victory in the war.
The current Marquis did not inherit his father's legacy, but took the liberal arts examination himself and became a civil servant. Unfortunately, with limited qualifications and a reserved temperament, he did not make any achievements in the court.
Of course, Gu Chengyu doesn't know whether he is keeping a low profile for fear of arousing the emperor's jealousy, or whether he is really mediocre.
Among the Liang family, only Liang Zhirui has reached a high-ranking official position in the court, and now he has become an official. There are two other officials who are working abroad. Their grades are not high, and the younger members of the family have no future.
The first old lady in the Hou Mansion was just a girl from a different family, and she didn't have much dowry when she got married. The current lady, who is Yin Kun's mother-in-law, came from a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River and a scholarly family.
In fact, in the final analysis, the two old ladies did not bring much dowry because they had no money.
Nowadays, the Hou Mansion is relying on the capital left by the old Marquis! However, I heard that things have improved a bit since the wife of the Crown Prince, Liang Shaoen's mother, married over.
"Is Mr. Lu not married yet?" Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he asked loudly.
"It was four years ago that we talked about getting married once. However, the girl got an emergency and died, and Mr. Lu has not discussed marriage since then."
Tong Qiutang heard Gu Chengyu's doubts and explained. Because he was worried that Lu Chen was in the room, he didn't elaborate.
Gu Chengyu turned his attention to Lu Chen again. Lu Chen looked handsome and handsome, and he had a certain magnanimity in dealing with people.
Cough! Gu Chengyu put aside the strange thoughts in his heart.
Lu Chen smiled and greeted everyone he knew from the aristocratic family. When he saw Gu Chengyu and the others, his eyes lit up.
"Jin Yu!" Lu Chen seemed to be surprised to see Gu Chengyu here and shouted quickly.
When Gu Chengyu heard the name Jin Yu, his eyebrows raised. Lu Chen actually liked Zi Laishu. Originally, he still called him Gu Xiandi, but now he calls him by his cousin.
However, as Lu Chen called Gu Chengyu by his first name, the people on the side would not say anything. Looking at the situation, the two of them were still familiar with each other.
"Brother Lu!"
"Jin Yu! We haven't seen each other for several months since the last time we saw each other. Oh! You should be called Master Gu now!"
Lu Chen walked towards Gu Chengyu, and Liang Shaoen also followed.
"Brother Lu, you're so polite. You don't have to pay attention to these false etiquette!" How many more months? It doesn't seem to be that long, right? However, when people say this, Gu Chengyu has to be polite no matter what.
"Jin Yu and I hit it off right away. We haven't seen each other for several months, but Jin Yu has never been separated from me." Lu Chen seemed to have reunited with a friend after saying goodbye, and his happy expression did not seem to be fake.
