Chapter 41: The Friend of the New Year

Mingyue Restaurant

Fu Mingyuan looked at the drinker in front of him with some frowns, and his body was ...... When the doctor allowed these things to be contaminated.

"Ming Yuan, just one cup." The sound flowed slowly like clear spring water, and the slender hand of the person holding the glass revealed an abnormal whiteness, but the lips that touched the rim of the glass were tinged with a faint pink, and the person was full of energy.

Fu Mingyuan rolled his eyebrows and looked at the letter he had placed on the table with him...... Yuange has news.

Chu Feiran felt the gaze that stayed on the letter, and the person who had only drunk a shallow drink put down the glass, nodded slightly at the transferred gaze of the person in front of him.

The message is not fake......

"Liangyi should go to Gu Mansion to visit Gu Lao today, I don't know if Gu Lao can talk to him, if it is with his temperament...... Nothing should be taken seriously. Chu Feiran mentioned it casually, but there was a smile on his face, as if he had thought of something......

"It's said that the coolness has someone to take to heart, I'm afraid it's only ......" Fu Mingyuan's cold eyes did not change, and he teased this young playmate...... Chu Feiran suddenly continued to hold the wine glass silently, if he left...... There are still people around Ming Yuan, and it's good.

"Thinking about Fei Yu, you won't be cranky." Fu Mingyuan's seemingly nonsensical words, the movements in the hands of the person opposite paused, he understood, raised his eyes to look at the person who can now be alone, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a faint smile, he has been ...... all these years It seems to be falling behind more and more.

"And the Yuan Pavilion is your hard work, I won't care about it, so ......" Fu Mingyuan looked at the slightly stunned person with soft eyes, and then said: "You must live with me to the end." The eyes of the two met together, as if the pond was full of water after the rain, and there was no need for any injection.

"What do you say...... If you hear it, I'm afraid you won't lend me the book again. Chu Feiran always smiled lightly, his hand holding the wine glass was loose and tight, and he looked at the remaining half of the wine brew...... His eyes were like a glass of wine, and there was a little starlight.

Fu Mingyuan finally opened the letter...... After looking at it one by one, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and it was really not that simple about Mingran's life experience.

There was silence in the room for a while, but the hearts of the two of them were thinking together.

"Is Old Gu well?" Qi Liangyi entered the door with a smile on his face, pushed his hand and greeted, and the old man in the seat got up, his expression was pleasant.

"Then in the opinion of Gongzi Qi, is Gu okay?" The wrinkles around the corners of the old man's eyes were squeezed together because of laughter, and his eyes were full of rare joy, and he slowly sat down with a quiet expression, after many years...... The events of that night are still fresh in my memory.

"Thinking that the Gu family has issued a county order, Gu Lao should be happy." The news that Gu Qiyan was about to take office in Tiancheng County had spread all over the capital, and sure enough, the court still launched this young talent with an innocent background.

The old man's expression suddenly changed, not as angry as before, but with deep worry, this Tiancheng County Commander, how can it be so easy to be competent, this place is not only staring at businessmen, but also several princes in the palace.

Otherwise, the previous county magistrate has been in office for 30 years, so why would he resign overnight?

"Old Gu seems to be dissatisfied?" Qi Liangyi's eyes shone with a little light, if the Gu family and the Qi family have a relationship, it should be a matter of the previous generation, the old lady of the Qi family who has passed away has a good relationship with this Gu Lao, although it was later fell out due to some unknown things, but the friendship that existed back then can be comparable to a friend of life and death.

As for the reason...... The head of the Qi family has never mentioned it, and I don't know how to ...... Gu Lao's side

"There are only two children and grandchildren of the Gu family, and Lian Qi's kid Gu doesn't count on it anymore, but this time it's seven words...... Alas, creation makes people! Gu Lao's face now looks like an ordinary family in this position The natural expression of the elder in this position, saying that the descendants are not successful, a look of worry.

It is rumored that the Gu family has been a scholarly family for generations, but they do not want their children and grandchildren to enter the court as officials, but this is ...... How long has it been, and has anything happened between the Gu family and the Qi family's fathers? Otherwise...... Gu Qiyan and Gu Lianqi's biological father and mother seem to have never been traced.

And his parents...... Why something is hidden.

I didn't come here today just because of Gu Qiyan, but I took this opportunity to find some clues......

"If Qiyan can achieve something, not only Gu Lao's face will be glorified, but this Gu family will not be half a point worse than those aristocratic mansions." Qi Liangyi could see that Gu Lao really didn't want Gu Qiyan to be an official, and the county magistrate of Tiancheng County ...... However, the official position of the third grade, it is rumored that this new champion is such an honor because of the blessing accumulated by the ancestors, and the official position that was sealed for the first time is above the three grades.

It's just that for whether Qiyan is competent...... Again, there is a great deal of controversy.

"Hmph...... I care about the scholarly family, and I don't want to be contaminated with those royal extravagances, if it weren't for the seven words of his father......" Halfway through the words, the old man on the seat seemed to hesitate, and gradually the breath stopped, and then continued, "His father died early, and I can't support this Gu Mansion as an old man." The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little colder, and the eyes of the person in front of Qi Liang flashed slightly, but he didn't take the topic.

"I thought that Elder Gu would turn me away, after all...... I'm also a businessman. It seemed to be a joke, but the old man on the seat suddenly softened, and looked at the person sitting on the right hand side with a straight face, silent for a while, but Qi Liangyi seemed to see a different emotion from the vicissitudes of life, with excitement for unknown reasons......

"Qi Gongzi is probably different, your reputation in the capital Gu has also heard of it, and now Qi Gongzi is teaching in Tianjing Academy, if Qiyan can be like you, I will also be satisfied." The old man obviously smiled in his eyes, and seemed to be very satisfied with the teaching, Qi Liangyi was a little flattered, the old lady of the Gu family was notoriously arrogant, and he could hear the words of praise in his mouth, seriously......

It's his pleasure.

"If Elder Gu doesn't dislike it, you can make me feel cold, and the younger generation is willing to listen to a few words of your elder." What he said is true, the reputation of the Gu family has been inherited for more than a hundred years, and the status in the capital does not matter who sits in the palace, it will not change much at this point.

“…… Cool, can you know what is a friend who forgets the year? The hesitation on the old man's face flashed, but the light in his eyes still caught Qi Liangyi's attention, the old man he saw today...... It seems to be very different from what it used to be.

"Coolness is for the juniors, and he can't ......" Gu Lao's words he understood, but he ......

"I'm so old, all those old friends have left, and this lonely person doesn't have anyone to talk to on weekdays, it's rare that you still have time to come to see me today, don't you still dislike my old man for having a bad temper?" The old man's expression was serious.

"It's hard for the younger generation to dislike it, but if that's the case, this generation is ...... Isn't that wrong? "His father still has to call Gu Lao, if he is ...... I'm afraid it's another thing that is circulating outside.

"Can't be wrong, there are no outsiders here, and it's good to talk to this old man like me when you have time." Qi Liangyi finally nodded, at least there was one sentence that Gu Lao said was right, the relationship between the Gu family and the Qi family should not be broken.

"Fu Mingran?" I didn't see the old man in the backyard, could it be that she misunderstood? But Lin Fuzi, who was playing chess in front of him, looked at her with some displeasure, as if the footsteps he had just walked disturbed ......

"Yes, Master Lin, that ...... The dean is looking for me for something. Fu Mingran was confused, but he couldn't see anything on his calm face.

"Wait." The person turned around and went to play chess, this Lin Fuzi was still the same strict appearance as usual, Fu Mingran had to stand in place and look around, this was the first time she had seen the backyard of Tianjing Academy, a little ...... It's not what you imagined.

It's not that there is no bookish atmosphere, but it is a kind of leisure environment, there are still rockeries and bamboo forests in the backyard, but the mountain and the forest are well matched, and the scenery is not ordinary. As it is now...... Well, Lin Fuzi wasn't playing chess, but looked at her with a look of disgust.

Fu Mingran's smile froze on her face, could it be that her heroic deeds in the past had also been passed into the hands of her master, or was it ...... For other reasons.

"I think your eldest brother has also been taught under me, but the character of you and your eldest brother is ...... Mingyuan's kid seemed to have a lot of worries. The person in front of him turned around and went to play chess again, and Fu Mingran just wanted to respond politely...... But there was no play.

Nature...... She can't compare to her eldest brother.

The person stood in the middle of the courtyard, and his back looked a little gloomy, but the young man's bright face was still smiling...... Even the depths of his eyes are smiling.

Some people say good things about big brothers, and there is no reason to be upset.

What about that day's outing...... It didn't spread out, presumably it was handled by the dean's hand, since the dean and his old man knew the whole story...... Maybe I really know the reason, so the reason why I came to her...... She could only think of her eldest brother.

"Mingran, you should be okay with me as an old man, right?" Fu Mingran looked up and saw the person who appeared around the corner, and nodded after reacting, with the age of the dean...... Yes, indeed.

"Sit down, this Master Lin didn't lecture you, did he?" The old man walked over slowly and patted Lin Fuzi on the shoulder, but the person who was thinking about the chess path did not raise his head, but the old man's face did not change his expression, but he pointed to a position for Fu Mingran to sit down.

"Dean, if you ask something, I have to go home early." made an appointment with her eldest brother to learn the flute, even if she didn't use that dinner, she shouldn't change it casually. After all, the eldest brother is indeed very busy......

The old man touched his white beard and nodded as if he was thinking about something, and then looked at the person who was still standing with kind eyes...... Hiding the truth that was originally hidden is very perfect.

"I just want you to convey a word, if your eldest brother is free, let him come to this Tianjing Academy often to sit, my old man hasn't seen him for a long time." With some old feelings, Fu Mingran also noticed that Lin Fuzi, who was originally concentrating on playing chess, also looked at her at this time, and it seemed that ...... The relationship between the eldest brother and this Tianjing Academy is far more than she knows.

That...... Why did the dean use the excuse of asking about the trip?
