Duan Yu nodded at Yuejia, and then, straight past her, came directly to Duan Qingming and sat down. Duan Yu's face was a little haggard and a little ugly, as soon as he sat down, he looked at Duan Qingming sullenly, his eyes were like a child who couldn't get candy to eat.

Duan Qingming was drinking tea, she was holding the white bone china between her fingers, and her fingertips were so white that they were almost transparent, almost the same color as the cup. Seeing Duan Yu coming, she put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile: "Why is Yu'er here?" ”

Duan Yu flattened his mouth sullenly and said, "My sister doesn't seem to welcome me anymore......"

Duan Qingming raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Duan Yu said: "My sister only let Yu'er rest for half a day for three days, and she is not allowed to leave the house, this is not house arrest in disguise, or she is afraid that I will come to the 'door' to annoy you, this is not unwelcome, what is it?" ”

Although, in modern office workers, only one day a week can rest, Duan Qingming let him take a break for three days, which is already a lot. However, after Duan Yu crossed by himself, he was already used to a free life, and he was trapped all of a sudden, and he really wasn't used to it.

Duan Qingming smiled: "I don't know if Yu'er has heard a word?" ”

Duan Yu took a sip of tea, put it down, and asked casually, "I don't know what it is?" ”

Duan Qingming said: "The sharpness of the knife, the sharpening of the rock, the growth of people, immersed in learning? ”

Duan Yu said without raising his head: "The problem is that everyone understands the truth, but if you really want to do it, it is not easy. ”

Duan Qingming smiled and said, "Yo, Yu'er, is this to blame me for being too strict with you?" ”

However, a child who is a few years old has made such a promise, just in order not to worry about those who like him, so Duan Yu has already done his best.

Duan Yu said sullenly: "It's not strange, it's just that I'm a little unconvinced." ”

Duan Qingming looked at Duan Yu's awkward appearance and said with a smile: "Otherwise, we will push this appointment after the autumn?" ”

Duan Yu suddenly stood up from his chair, and he exclaimed, "How could my sister say such a thing? ”

Duan Qingming spread out her hands and said, "You are too hard, it just so happens that I feel distressed when I look at you, so I just put it off, okay?" In this way, you don't have to work hard, you don't have to complain, and I'm happy to be idle, okay? ”

Duan Yuchang blushed and said, "It's not good, it's not good at all." ”

Duan Qingming smiled, she took Duan Yu's hand and said, "Okay, okay, Yu'er, although I am working hard for Ning Lan now, in the final analysis, I am also working hard for you...... Think about it, how much have you benefited from studying during this period of time? ”

Duan Yu thought for a while and said, "That's right, now, I feel much easier to do my studies." ”

Duan Qingming said: "Isn't this good? Man, if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must have a foothold. People often say that men have ambitions, and they bow down in all directions. ”

Duan Yu waved his hand at Duan Qingming, and said as if begging for mercy: "Okay, sister, don't talk about this kind of big truth, I read books every day, and I read more than you." ”

Duan Qingming smiled and led Duan Yu out.

Duan Yuqi said: "Sister, where are you going to take me?" ”

Duan Qingming smiled: "I'm going to take you out for a walk, this period of time, it's really suffocating you?" ”

When Duan Yu heard this, he stroked his palms and smiled: "So, shouldn't we go out for a good meal?" ”

Duan Qingming said angrily: "Listening to your words, it seems that we are hungry for you in our house." ”

Duan Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, it's just that sister, you know, children like to be greedy, and they are used to eating at home, so they always want to eat something outside." ”

Duan Qingming smiled and didn't speak.

When the two of them walked out of the 'door' of the courtyard, Duan Yu suddenly asked: "By the way, sister, you told me a few days ago that I don't have to worry about these things, you have arranged them all, now, how are things?" ”

Duan Qingming said: "There is nothing now? The rumors have subsided, and things have slowly calmed down, and there is no movement on the Xue Mansion's side, it seems that I am waiting for you to work hard for the autumn test. ”

Duan Yu said with some worry: "But, sister, I'm still a little worried...... You know the ...... of people like Xue Yongqiang."

Duan Qingming reminded: "Yu'er, you should be called Uncle Xue." ”

Duan Qingming once taught Duan Yu, this respect for Xue Yongqiang is respect for Ning Lan. Therefore, she asked Duan Yu to no longer call Xue Yongqiang's name no matter what the occasion, but to be called an uncle.

Duan Yu said: "Okay, Uncle Xue, this time I was 'forced' to give in, I'm really afraid that he will come up with some crooked ideas to stop me and Ning Lan." ”

Duan Qingming said: "Yu'er, don't forget, what Uncle Xue values most is the face of the Xue Mansion, and his own decency, this matter has been rumored to be known to everyone, what about this first?" If he wants to, he can't hide it, but what about the second? If he wants to repent, there is no way to repent, because isn't this token already in your hands? ”

Duan Yu said unhappily: "Sister, don't talk about that token...... I also said that Uncle Xue really wanted to give me Ning Lantuo, but unexpectedly, I checked the books, and that thing was actually used to break off 'friendship'. ”

In the ancient book, there is such a passage, give it a ring, promise it, give it a knife, and break it with a blade.

In other words, if it is given in rings, it usually represents 'friendship', commitment, and marriage contract. Because the ring is like a bright moon, it represents fulfillment and happiness.

And this 'jade' knife is used to cut off, proving that the two are no longer 'intersecting'.

Now, Xue Yongqiang allowed Duan Yu to be a matchmaker, but he gave him a knife, the implication can be said to be self-evident, he was just forced by the situation to agree to Duan Yu's courtship, in his heart, he didn't treat Duan Yu as a thing at all.

Duan Qingming smiled and said: "You can rest assured at this point, Uncle Xue dares to give you a token, we dare to take this token to ask for marriage, and we also guarantee that Uncle Xue will be speechless and can't say anything!" ”

After a slight pause, Duan Qingming said again: "In short, Yu'er, you remember, the problem is not what Uncle Xue gave you, but how you do it, the requirements of your talent - now, you only need to work hard, and all other things are 'handed over' to my sister." ”

Duan Yu listened, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister." ”

The two of them walked all the way, talking as they went, and then, gradually, farther and farther away.

What they didn't expect was that when they left, a figure suddenly flashed in the other corner of the room. That figure, standing behind the tree, looked at Duan Qingming and Duan Yu from a distance, and on a pretty little face, he couldn't help but sneer with extreme poison.

Look at that figure, it is Duan 'Yu' Lan, she has given a lot of benefits to her subordinates in the past few days, and wants to inquire about Duan Qingming's everything, but Duan Qingming seems to have taken precautions, not only can no one enter her courtyard at all, and she can't hear any news, but also those who have taken the benefits of Duan 'Yu' Lan before, they have also begun to dodge, and it seems that they are no longer willing to help Duan 'Yu' Lan inquire about any news.

Duan 'Yu' Lan was annoyed in her heart, but there was nothing she could do, so in desperation, she decided to go out in person to find out what Duan Qingming was doing recently. Now, she finally understood that Duan Qingming was not idle, no, she actually started the idea of Xue Mansion.

Duan 'Yu' Lan slowly clenched her palms, and she also asked why Duan Yu suddenly worked hard? But it turned out that he was working hard for this year's Autumn Siege, and the root of this effort was for Xue Ninglan?

In other words, is Xue Ninglan all the motivation for Duan Yu's efforts? The meaning of these words, if it is reversed, then, can it be understood that if there is no Xue Ninglan, then Duan Yu will not work harder?

You must know that Duan Yu is the eldest son in the mansion, and in the future, everything in this mansion will be his. This is already a threat to Duan 'Yu' Lan, who is eager to change his identity, so if Duan Yu gains fame through unremitting efforts, and then marries the 'daughter' of Xue Fuyan, the head of the clear stream, then it can be said that he is like a tiger with wings, and there is no way to defeat him.
