It was the first time he had heard this younger brother talk to him in such a tone, and it was Guan Jiaxing, which naturally made him annoyed, and he became more and more curious about Du Jinning, wondering why this young man could let his younger brother, who had a much calmer temperament, protect his calves so much, and say such things.

How the teacher defends himself, Du Jinning naturally can't show his timidity. She raised her eyes and quietly glanced at Guan Zhengxiang, who was looking at her inquiringly, then turned her eyes away with a flat expression, looked at Guan Lehe, slowly got up, and said to him: "Teacher, you have something at home, why don't I go back first?" ”

"It's fine." Guan Lehe nodded and stood up as well, "Let's go, the teacher will send you out." ”

As he spoke, he walked over and patted Du Jinning on the shoulder, and then took the lead in walking out.

Du Jinning bowed to Guan Zhengxiang: "Master Guan, retire below." After speaking, without waiting for Guan Zhengxiang's reaction, she had already chased two steps and stepped out of the threshold behind Guan Lehe.

Guan Zhengxiang was embarrassed and very annoyed by his younger brother's attitude, so he sat there for a long time before getting up and going to the backyard.

Guan Lehe sent Du Jinning to the gate, and walked forward for a while, until he was far away from the Guan family, and then said to Du Jinning: "Just now, it was not Guan Jiaze's brother-in-law Guan Jiaxing who came to call his father, but Guan Jiaxing's mother, Aunt Huang, who called in his name. That woman was spoiled by my brother and narrow-minded. Recently, because of Guan Jiaze's mother's higher and higher status, she is unbalanced, and she is looking for trouble, and wants my brother to find an errand for her brother in the yamen. ”

He let out a long sigh: "The situation in the mansion here is complicated, you should pay attention when you look for Guan Jiaze in the future, don't be taken advantage of." If you come to me, you don't have to go this way, just go to the side door and ask for a meeting. ”

Du Jinning gets along with Guan Le and teachers and students, Guan Lehe is sincere, he never hides from her, and she doesn't have too many scruples when she speaks.

She said, "Teacher, why don't you move out?" If you don't have enough money to buy a house, students have it, you can just take it, don't be polite to students. ”

Guan Lehe couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he felt very emotional.

Over the years, he stayed in Lishui County as a mountain chief, although he had some industries under his name, but they were all left to him by his father, and he only saved it, and did not deliberately make money. So although he is relatively wealthy compared to ordinary people, he is not particularly rich.

And Du Jinning is simply a winner in life, a model for all those who want to make a fortune.

Guan Lehe still remembers that when he first met Du Jinning, Du Jinning was yellow and thin, wearing a patched clothes, not enough to eat and wear, and in order to save a penny, he had to walk several miles back to the village in the winter.

Now it is just over four years, Du Jinning has changed from an illiterate child to a beautiful son with red lips and white teeth, and a jade tree, and the teahouse, tea garden, and bookstore in her hand have created a lot of profits for her every day. I am afraid that the money in her name is more than that of his family. If he wants to buy a house, maybe he can really borrow it from Du Jinning.

Thinking of this, Guan Lehe looked at Du Jinning's gaze, both relieved and proud.

This is his student, better than anyone else.

"Teachers have money in their hands, so don't worry. Besides, it's not easy for me to buy a house for the time being. He said.

If it was for someone else, he would have said it here. But in the face of Du Jinning, there is nothing he can't say.

He explained: "When I arrived in the capital, I couldn't erase my face because my brother Yin Yin kept me, so I lived here. And this house was originally left by our ancestors, there is no specific person who will give it to, as long as it is a person from the Guan family, anyone can live in Beijing. And the house is big, so it's not a big problem for us to live there, so we have been living there. Now that I have just come out of the Ministry of Rites, I have immediately bought a house and moved out, and others may not guess how our brother is in trouble. So even if I want to move out, it's not now, at least two or three years from now. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "If it were according to my previous temperament, it would really be possible to live if you want, move if you want, just do it willfully, and don't have to think too much." It's different now, when people reach middle age, it's not good to be as willful as when they were young, there are people they care about, and things they care about. With scruples, you will be constrained in doing things. ”

This is the matter of the Guan family, Guan Lehe told her, Du Jinning is grateful to the teacher for being honest with him. But she is not good at judging and pointing fingers at these things.

She only listened attentively, being a listener, but did not say a word.

Guan Lehe was just talking to his disciple, and he didn't expect her to comfort himself or give him advice.

After saying the emotion in his heart, he said: "Okay, it's not early, you can go back quickly." By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that Guan Jiaze does not live here, but lives in the Confucian Mansion in the west of the city. Thou shalt seek him, and thou shalt go there to find him. ”

Du Jinning's eyes widened in surprise.

She was still thinking about it just now, she came to Guan's house but didn't go to Guan Jiaze, I don't know how Guan Jiaze will be angry with her later. didn't expect Guan Jiaze to live in Guan's house.

"This is not the place to talk, let's talk about it when we have time." Guan Lehe said, waving his hand, "Okay, let's go, don't be too late, let your mother remember." ”

"Then teacher, I'll go first." Du Jinning arched his hand and said goodbye to Guan Lehe.

She walked to the carriage and was about to get into it, when she turned her head and saw Guan Lehe still standing there. Her heart warmed, and she quickly waved her hand: "Teacher, I'm leaving, you should go back quickly." ”

Guan Lehe nodded, and then turned around and went to the Guan family.

Du Jinning saw him leave, raised his foot and was about to get into the carriage, when he saw a person walking out of the alley next to him, looked at her and asked, "You are Du Jinning?" ”

Du Jinning frowned, nodded and said, "Exactly." What advice does Brother Tai have? ”

"Hmph, but that's it." The man said, turning to go.

Aoki helped Du Jinning into the carriage and whispered, "Young Master, who is that person?" "It's so rude to speak.

"It seems that it should be Guan Jiaxing, the cousin of Young Master Guan." Du Jinning said.

The man just now was eighteen or nineteen years old, and his appearance was very similar to Guan Zhengxiang just now, at first glance, he was father and son, but he was not very similar to Guan Jiaze - Guan Jiaze was like his mother Kong. Listening to the tone of what he said just now, I met here again, and it was naturally clear who this person was.

Aoki listened, stuck his head out of the car window, and looked behind him, but he was colliding with the man's gaze.

He was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head and said to Du Jinning, "That person is still staring at us." ”

"Ignore him." Du Jinning is not afraid.

Guan Jiaze has such a temperament, and she has not fallen behind in the competition with Guan Jiaxing in the capital in the past two years, so why is she afraid of this person?
