Chapter 199: The Only Pursuit
As soon as the sky was bright, Wu Yongcheng had already gotten up, which made the entire Shangshu Mansion very surprised, you must know that this eldest young master has never been awake on the third pole in the sun.
In fact, he went home early last night, which was already very confusing, and even Lord Wu Shangshu personally asked the housekeeper, did the eldest young master get into trouble outside? Why don't you go to the Qinglou to fool around? To say that Wu Shangshu is also cheap enough, Wu Yongcheng is nostalgic for the Qinglou on weekdays, he has no way at all, and he can't wait to beat Wu Yongcheng to death, but now Wu Yongcheng suddenly went home early to sleep, like a good child, he is not suitable again.
There is no way, it must be a demon, Wu Yongcheng suddenly came like this, which made everyone who knew him feel very abnormal.
When Mrs. Wu saw her son appear in the courtyard early in the morning, it was like seeing a ghost, so she immediately ran over and asked, "Cheng'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Wu Yongcheng got up so early, of course, he was made by Qin Jian's pill, he has not been in a good mood at all since he took that pill, and his heart has always been like being pressed by a stone, so that he can't eat well and can't sleep, but he didn't sleep well all night last night, this will make him get up just to find Qin Jian, and eat the antidote to his stomach as soon as possible, so that he can feel at ease.
I didn't sleep well all night, and my mood was very heavy, plus he wasn't a thing in the first place, and now he was stopped by his mother, and his mood was even worse, mainly because he couldn't tell others what was in his heart now, and if he did, his life would be even more unsafe.
Although he knew that Qin Jian would definitely not know about it at home, but what could he do if he sued them? On weekdays, they all treated him as a waste, and now that he was poisoned, could they detoxify him? Thinking of this, Wu Yongcheng's mood was even worse, and he said to Mrs. Wu angrily: "I'm fine, you don't care about me." ”
"Cheng'er, if you have anything, just tell your mother, although you must scare your mother, do you owe gambling debts outside? How much do you owe? Mother has some jewelry here, you can exchange it for some money, alas, since you owe so much money last time, your father will no longer allow me to take care of the money, for fear that I will take out the money for you again and squander it." ”
Mrs. Wu said with a sad face, between her husband and her son, she is also very difficult to do, she knows that her husband is right, she can't let her son spend all day drinking outside, but her son was born with that virtue, he can't study, he can't become an official, he can't learn martial arts, and now she doesn't ask her son to have any interest, anyway, her husband is a minister, the family can be said to be powerful, and the second son is also very motivated, maybe he can inherit the court in the future, so in this way, the eldest son will lose the family, anyway, he can't really lose the family。
Wu Yongcheng looked at his mother's appearance, and his heart was also heartbroken, he knew that his mother really loved him, even if he was a waste, his mother had been silently supporting him, but he didn't want to be so supportive, it was precisely because of his mother's connivance that he would go step by step towards depravity, in fact, he was very smart when he was a child, Mr. always praised him, and his father liked him very much, but because he was too smart, he said that he would be lazy, and his mother was always his accomplice, and slowly down, he went to the point of no return little by little。
Now hearing his mother say such things again, Wu Yongcheng couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, mother, you are still the best for me, so let's do it, you can help me get a million taels of silver out these days, I will be of great use." ”
Mrs. Wu was shocked, and she asked, "Son, what do you want so much money for?"
"Propose. Wu Yongcheng said proudly: "I want to go to the Lin Mansion to propose marriage, and I want to marry Lin Xiaoyue." ”
Wu Yongcheng said the end, almost in a roaring voice, he really wanted to marry Lin Xiaoyue, this is already the only serious thing in his life, no matter how bad his reputation is, even if he achieves nothing, but he just wants to marry Lin Xiaoyue, when he sees Lin Xiaoyue, his mood is like being blown by a gentle breeze, very comfortable and happy, every time he goes to Xiaoyue Pavilion, although he is just pretending, but there, his heart is really settled, and sometimes he can read for a while.
This is a miracle thing, he hasn't really read for many years, and I don't know when he started, as long as he sees a book, he will have a headache, it really hurts, it hurts so much that he rolls on the ground, and then he was read by the doctor many times, and he always can't find the reason, Wu Shangshu was dead to him at that time, whether he really hurt or pretended to be in pain, anyway, it's a waste.
He is such a waste, only in Xiaoyue Pavilion can he calm down and read books, only Miss Lin does not treat him as a waste, and every time she smiles at him, she smiles beautifully.
After Mrs. Wu heard Wu Yongcheng's words, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "Cheng'er, that girl from the Lin family is not suitable for you, you should give up." ”
"Why doesn't it suit me?
Wu Yongcheng hates to hear this sentence the most, who dares to say that he is not suitable for Lin Xiaoyue, and who does he dare to fight with.
Mrs. Wu smiled bitterly: "Lin Zhengqing is such a daughter, he is raised like a baby, let alone a million taels, even if it is ten million taels, he will not nod." ”
Mrs. Wu didn't tell the whole story, she was afraid of stimulating Wu Yongcheng, who didn't know that the eldest son of the Wu family was notoriously gentlemanly, not motivated, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling was all fine, and Lin Xiaoyue was a famous talented woman in the capital, only a few points inferior to Cheng Yaojia in terms of family background, such a woman would have been the daughter-in-law of the princes and nobles for a long time, in fact, over the years, if it weren't for Lin Xiaoyue opening the Xiaoyue Pavilion, her reputation would have been a little flawed, and she was afraid that she would have already stepped through the threshold of their family, even so, there were many people who proposed marriage。
It's a pity that Lin Xiaoyue has very high requirements for her husband, and Lin Zhengqing's requirements for her son-in-law are not low, if she is not a first-class talent, she can't get into the eyes of the Lin family's father and daughter.
Of course, Wu Yongcheng could hear the meaning of his mother's words, in fact, it was not just his mother, in the past few years, anyone who knew his mind would have such thoughts about him, and some people even mocked him to his face, and that time he almost beat that person to death.
