Gu Zhirong shook his hand back, feeling the warmth transmitted from his wide palm, and his heart was also a lot more stable.

She raised her head, looked at him, and said seriously: "Ah Ting, I know your intentions, and I know that you are doing this for my good." But there are some things that really can't be rushed, think about it, if you propose to your father now that you want to go to our Yuanning Marquis Mansion to propose marriage, will he agree? I am afraid that you will think that you have no intention of studying, but focus on the affairs of your children's affection, which will make your uncle even more unhappy, and our marriage will be even more hopeless. ”

Lu Fangting frowned, looked at Gu Zhirong silently, and did not speak.

Of course, he knows all this.

In the house, he was a sister-in-law, but unfortunately his mother died early, and his father married his stepfamily, and he was excluded everywhere. Fortunately, my father still hoped that there would be a famous person in the house, and the concubine born by the step-family had no talent for reading, so my father pinned his hopes on him.

He also knows that only by getting ahead and doing something in the scientific examination can he win the favor of his father and be qualified to mention his marriage.

However, seeing everything Gu Zhirong had done for him, the pressure she was facing in the mansion, and the prince who was so hateful that he wanted to take his wife...... As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't wait any longer.

"Sister Rong, I know that you think about me everywhere, can you let me think about you too?" Lu Gongzi said sincerely, "Over the years, I know that you have paid too much for me, and I can imagine your situation in the mansion to some extent." As a man, no matter how much my stepmother excludes me, she doesn't dare to do anything to me. After all, there is a father. But what about you, you are alone in this house, and both parents are dead. Alone, surrounded by people who are eyeing you......"

"Ah Ting!" Gu Zhirong exclaimed with a frown.

In any case, this is her family affair, is it okay? Let an outsider point it out, especially this outsider who is very important to her, she will inevitably feel embarrassed.

Lu Gongzi immediately realized his gaffe, after all, this is someone else's family matter, and he seems to have interfered too much!

"Sister Rong. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interfere in the affairs of your house......" Lu Fangting hurriedly apologized, and then he still said. "But I can't bear it, I really can't bear to see you being wronged again and again for me, and that prince ......"

Gu Zhirong smiled and shook his head gently: "I'm fine, I can handle it." You have to trust me. We've all been holding on for so long. Let me make a good impression on your father, and don't let him think that I am a bad person who delays your studies, and don't let me bear such an infamy, okay?"

"Sister Rong!" Lu Gongzi called out a little helplessly.

Gu Zhirong decided to change the topic, she looked at his left hand: "How is your left hand, okay?"

Lu Gongzi smiled. He didn't care at all: "The injury is all healed, but the tendon is broken." It's just that you can't hold things steadily. ”

Gu Zhirong hurriedly said: "Ah Ting, do you think this is good, while the delay is not too long, I will help you with the operation and help you connect the tendons, okay?"

Lu Gongzi shook his head: "Not now, this year's autumn festival has been postponed a little due to events, but listening to the news, the exam will start next month at the latest." If I connect the tesuji now, it will take two or three months to recover slowly, and then the scientific examination will be delayed, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Gu Zhirong looked at Lu Gongzi, in fact, she wanted to persuade him: "What is the scientific examination, as long as it is you, whether you are famous or not, I don't care." "But thinking that Lu Gongzi is like those students in the world, studying hard for ten years, and finally waiting for this quadrennial scientific examination, if she persuades him to give up, won't he have to wait another four years?

This kind of torment is unbearable for Lu Gongzi. “

As for what Lu Gongzi said, "the gains outweigh the losses", it really can only be understood by everyone.

Gu Zhirong knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh lightly. Moreover, she knew that half of his insistence on doing it was for himself, so she could only say in her heart: "Gu Zhirong, it is rare in this world that such a person is so good to you, you must not fail him." ”

Lu Gongzi saw her worries, smiled, and brushed her cheeks with slender fingers, as if to soothe the melancholy on the tip of her eyebrows: "It's nothing if the left hand is useless, it's a big deal that after we get married, you work hard, wait for me to dress and eat, and I feel very happy." ”

His words couldn't help but make Gu Zhirong laugh: "What are you talking about, who wants to serve you! If you really let your left hand go to waste, maybe I really don't want you at that time." ”

"Really?" Lu Gongzi clutched his chest, pretending to be very hurt, "Listen, my heart is broken!"

Gu Zhirong couldn't help but punch him: "Don't be poor." ”

Suddenly, the heavy and oppressive atmosphere dissipated a lot.

Mingyue Lushui and the others sighed softly, quietly retreated, and served tea again.

After drinking tea for a while, Gu Zhirong took into account that Lu Gongzi was going to take the exam next month, and the time must be very urgent, so he didn't dare to keep him more, urging him to go back.

So Mr. Lu got up to say goodbye, and Gu Zhirong personally sent him to the door of the weeping flowers.

Since the people in the house knew that the two of them had already decided on a family matter, it was only a matter of time before they discussed their relationship, and they didn't say much. Coupled with Gu Zhirong's outstanding performance at the Empress Dowager's banquet, he saved the reputation of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, even if he did something out of the ordinary, he could be tolerated, not to mention that this person was still her fiancé, so they all looked at this pair with a smile.

Looking at the back of Gongzi Lu until he disappeared around the corner of the corridor, Gu Zhirong turned to look at Mingyue: "Hasn't the eldest master come back yet?"

Mingyue shook her head: "I have asked Lushui to pay attention to the movement of the gate, if the eldest master comes back, Lushui will definitely get the news." ”

Gu Zhirong nodded.

The eldest man has always been kind and cowardly, and he listens to the eldest lady in everything, and has never disobeyed the will of the eldest lady. In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of temperament of the eldest man is no different from eating soft rice. However, how did the eldest lord, who had always been as docile as a sheep, suddenly change his temperament, argue with the eldest lady for no reason, and ignore the eldest lady who had a miscarriage and disappeared for no reason, which really made Gu Zhirong unable to figure it out.

Suddenly, she remembered that when she passed by the big room a few days ago, it happened that the old man passed by, and she smelled a special aroma, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Mingyue, you go and inquire and see if there are any other courtyards in the Yuanning Hou Mansion, such as those that are abandoned or temporarily rented to others, and report them to me one by one. Gu Zhirong commanded.

Mingyue was stunned for a moment: "Miss thinks ......" She glanced at her young lady and wondered, "But will someone like the eldest master do this?"

"Anything is possible. Gu Zhirong smiled, "Sometimes the more unthinkable things are, the more likely they are, let's not jump to conclusions, you can inquire and see first." ”

The end of her nose seemed to waft through the scent of that day, and she was sure that this fragrance was definitely not from the house. Since it is not from the mansion, it must have been brought back from outside the mansion by the eldest master.

Mingyue answered, and immediately went down. (To be continued......)
