Chapter 186 is right

Gu Huayu asked softly: "Why do you say that?"

Lu Ziqin said: "God was so moved by me that he sent you to me in this life."

Gu Huayu smiled. There were no lights in the carriage, and lanterns were hung at the four corners outside the carriage. The light from the lanterns shone through the curtains, allowing each other to see each other's faces.

Lu Ziqin stroked Gu Huayu's hair and said, "This is the first birthday I have ever celebrated in my life, and it was Xiaoyu and you who celebrated it for me."

After hearing this, Gu Huayu felt inexplicably heartbroken.

Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqin and said, "From now on, I will celebrate every birthday of yours with you. You will also celebrate my birthday with me, okay?"

 “Okay!” Lu Ziqin responded with a smile.

"Qingyan, tell me about your childhood. Okay?" Gu Huayu asked.

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Okay, my mother said that I was born prematurely, so I have been in poor health and frail..."

Qing Yu first sent Lu Ziqin to Qing guest residence.

Lu Ziqin reluctantly got out of the car and stood at the door watching the carriage go away. He didn't turn around until he could no longer see the carriage.

 “Master is back.” Ruxuan came out to greet him.

Lu Ziqin looked at Ruxuan, nodded, and asked, "What happened?"

Ruxuan followed behind and said as he walked: "The uncle is here. He has eaten a lot of wine. It seems that he is not in a good mood."

Lu Ziqin stopped, turned around and asked, "How long did it take for you to come here? Did you deliver a letter to the government?"

"I just arrived at the end of the year. Ruji just drank the sobering soup for the uncle and didn't have time to send a letter to the mansion." Ruxuan replied.

Lu Ziqin frowned slightly and asked, "How can such a good person drink wine?"

Ruxuan shook his head, "Younger ones don't know."

Lv Ziqin ordered: "Send someone to go back to the house and inform me. Tell me that your eldest cousin is with me and will go back later."

The Ye family is a very light drinker and would get drunk after eating a bowl of sweet fermented fermented eggs. Therefore, the Ye family does not drink alcohol lightly.

People who know each other well know this. Ye Minghao and Ye Mingqin only drank tea and did not know how to drink wine when attending cultural gatherings.

Ruxuan bowed down and turned around to do the order.

For example, when Ji saw Lu Ziqin pushing the door open and coming in, he bowed to greet him.

Lu Ziqin looked at Ye Minghao, who was sleeping on the soft couch, and asked, "How is it?"

 Ruji replied: "It won't be long after you drink the sobering soup. You need to wait for a while."

 Lv Ziqin looked at Ming Xin and asked, "How come my cousin is drinking so much today? What happened?"

Ming Xin said with a confused face: "Hui Liuye, I don't even know.

 Yesterday, I suddenly told my wife to arrange a blind date for him.

Mrs. Ke was so happy that she immediately sent someone to deliver the post to Mrs. Jiang at the house of the Minister of Industry.

Mrs. Jiang sent someone to reply to her post in the afternoon and asked our wife to have tea at the teahouse next to Jinming Pond later today. "

Lu Ziqin looked at Ye Minghao and asked, "Is the eldest cousin gone?"

“I went and had a conversation with Mrs. Fu Er by the Jinming Pond.

Later, the two ladies paid the second lady, and our husband went to the Chang'an Restaurant nearby for dinner.

 After sending Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Fu away, the master told his wife that he had something to do with Mr. Six, so he asked his wife to go back first.

After my wife returned home, our husband turned around and went back to the restaurant to have some wine. "

Lu Ziqin looked at his eyes and scolded him: "He eats wine, and you just let him eat it, and you don't know how to persuade him?"

Mingxin replied aggrievedly: "I also wanted to persuade you, but I drove you out of the room and wouldn't let you get close to me. How can I persuade you?"

Lu Ziqin ordered: "Go and get some water and wash him."

Mingxin retreat.

Lu Ziqin said to Ruji: "Go and get some clothes for him to change."

 Ruji turned around to get his clothes.

 Soon, Mingxin came in with water and stepped forward to clean Ye Minghao.

After a lot of trouble, the Xingxing Decoction also took effect. Ye Minghao woke up, looked up and saw Lu Ziqin, and cried out in pain: "Qingyan."

Lu Ziqin waved his hand, and Ruji left with Mingxin.

Lu Ziqin poured a cup of tea for Ye Minghao and said, "Why do you still eat wine when you know you can't drink it?"

Ye Minghao felt bitter in his heart and said with a wry smile: "It's okay to get drunk once in a while."

After saying that, Ye Minghao picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. Because he drank so fast, he choked and coughed.

Lu Ziqin poured him tea again and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Drink slowly."

 Ye Minghao nodded and stopped talking. Neither of them spoke.

Lu Ziqin poured the tea, and Ye Minghao drank the tea until the whole pot of tea was finished.

Lu Ziqin said: "You are full of water, don't drink it. Since you can't let it go, why bother yourself?"

Ye Minghao raised his head, looked at Lu Ziqin in surprise, and said, "Do you know why I drink wine?"

Lu Ziqin met Ye Minghao's gaze and asked, "Is it difficult to guess how frustrated you are in love?"

 Ye Minghao stretched out his hand to touch his face and asked, "Is it obvious?"

Lu Ziqin sighed, "How do you say you are nice? You don't do things properly."

 Ye Minghao lowered his head and said nothing.

 Lv Ziqin tapped the table with his hand and asked: "How do you plan to end it? Marry the Second Lady and come in?"

 Ye Minghao raised his head and looked at Lu Ziqin, "But I don't have her in my heart."

"You don't have anyone in your heart, so you still go to provoke them?" Lu Ziqin asked.

 Ye Minghao leaned back, put his hands on the backrest, and looked at the floor with unfocused eyes.

“I wanted to cut the knot quickly, so I asked my mother-in-law to arrange a blind date.

 However, my heart aches when I think that the person I will be with day and night in the future is not her.

Qingyan, tell me, have the men of the Ye family been cast by spells? Why can others fall in love with each other, but not the Ye family?

 Once it enters the heart, everything in the heart and eyes is filled with her, and it can only be her. "

Seeing his painful look, Lu Ziqin comforted him and said, "Don't be sad. It's just a blind date, not a marriage. It's not too late."

Ye Minghao shifted his gaze to Lu Ziqin and said frustratedly: "How late is it? She only sees you in her eyes and can't see me at all."

Lu Ziqin looked at Ye Minghao with a half-smile, and said, "Since you know she has me in her heart, you still keep her in your heart? Tell me, when did she fall into your heart?"

Ye Minghao glanced at Lu Ziqin guiltily: "Didn't you hide when you saw her? What? Do you like her?"

 At the last sentence, Ye Minghao looked nervous.

Lu Ziqin felt a sour breath hit his face and said, "You don't have to worry about this. First tell me, when did she fall in your heart?"

Ye Minghao sat up straight, picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea, and said: "When you were hiding in Hongcheng, she couldn't find you, so she was secretly sad there.

I thought it was difficult for the little girl, so I took her around Hongcheng to relax with her. Perhaps because we had spent more time together, I had a different feeling for her.

You have to ask me, when did she fall into my heart? I can’t tell myself. It must have been a long time. "

After Ye Minghao finished speaking, he picked up the cup and prepared to drink tea, but found that there was no water in the cup.

Lu Ziqin pushed the cup in front of him and said, "I haven't drunk it before. Does she know your affection for her?"

"How can I let her know? What will she think of me if she knows? Besides, she is thinking about you." Ye Minghao blurted out. The latter sentence was spoken very quietly, but Lu Ziqin still heard it. .

Lu Ziqin looked at Ye Minghao and then asked: "How long has she stayed in Hongcheng? Two years?"

Ye Minghao nodded, "Yes, he is coming back to the capital with us."

“She lived in Ye Mansion for the two years she was in Hongcheng?”

Ye Minghao replied: "Of course, if she doesn't live in Ye Mansion, where will she live? In Hongcheng, she is not familiar with the place, so she just wants to live outside. We don't worry.

She is a girl living alone outside. If something happens, how can we explain it to Shi Mansion? "

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Well, that's the case. Have you ever thought that if she can go to Hongcheng alone, why can't she return to the capital alone?

Also, why did she stay here when she knew I was not in Hongcheng? "

 “Oh, yes, why did she stay?” Ye Minghao pondered.

Lu Ziqin continued: "If it was to find me at first, but what happened later?

On the anniversary of my grandfather’s death, I returned to Hongcheng and told everyone that I was going to travel.

She knew I wasn’t in Hongcheng, why didn’t she leave? And he won’t return to Beijing during the Chinese New Year. "

 Ye Minghao became more energetic, "Qingyan, what do you mean..."

Lu Ziqin rolled his eyes at Ye Minghao and said, "I don't mean anything. If I were you, I would tell her about today's blind date."

Ye Minghao's eyes suddenly brightened, then dimmed again, "Qingyan, I understand what you mean, but if she..."

Ye Minghao looked at Lu Ziqin, but did not say the next words.

Seeing that Ye Minghao was hesitant and worried about gains and losses, Lu Ziqin said: "The day before yesterday, after you left, Xiaoyu said that you two are a good match."

"Really? We were the right ones? How did Miss Gu know that? What was wrong? What? Yamei knew you were next door and rushed over excitedly. I couldn't stop shouting." Ye Minghao's voice Gradually lower.

Lu Ziqin said: "I don't know how Xiaoyu figured it out. Xiaoyu said that you treat Miss Shi San differently. She was indeed right."

"What else did Miss Gu say? Have you told Miss Gu that Shi Yamei has been in love with you for many years?" Ye Minghao asked.

“Xiaoyu said that Miss Shi San looks at me like a little girl chasing stars. She also said that I am the white moonlight in the heart of a little girl chasing stars.

I don’t understand what a star-chasing girl is, and Xiaoyu didn’t explain much. He only said that Miss Shi San likes me admiringly, but she doesn’t really like me.

 But Miss Shi San’s eyes are different when she sees you. "

Ye Minghao sat up straight and looked at Lu Ziqin earnestly, "Qingyan, is what you said true? Miss Gu really said that?"

Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "Really. Let me tell you, Xiaoyu has been running the shop since she was very young, and she is very accurate in judging people and things. She said you are right, so you must be very right."

Ye Minghao nodded and murmured: "Women are careful, and Miss Gu is in business, so she should be very good at observing words and emotions...

Qingyan, I listen to you and tell Yamei about today’s blind date.

If she cares about me, given her temperament, she will definitely take action. If she doesn't care, I..."

 At this point, Ye Minghao couldn't continue.

Lu Ziqin took over the words, "If she doesn't care, then just find a way to make her care."

Ye Minghao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, if she doesn't care, I will try to make her care."

 Lv Ziqin stood up and said, "Let's go when you figure it out."

 Ye Minghao asked: “Where to go?”

Lu Ziqin said: "Don't look at how long it will be before you go back and prepare to kneel in the ancestral hall. Also, don't you want to end what happened today? Just wait to be scolded by your aunt."

Ye Minghao stood up angrily, "Oh, impulsiveness is the devil!"

Lu Ziqin smiled and said: "It's also a good thing. At least it allows you to see your own heart clearly."

 Ye Minghao nodded, "Yes!" The two brothers returned to Chengguo Duke's Mansion together.

The next day, Lu Ziqin took Gu Chengliang to the residence of Grand Scholar Yang. Grand Scholar Yang asked Gu Chengliang several questions face to face.

Gu Chengliang answered them one by one, and Academician Yang was very satisfied.

On that day, Grand Scholar Yang accepted Gu Chengliang and held a simple apprenticeship ceremony.

After receiving the letter, Gu Dechang rushed back from Zhuangzi and went to the door to express his gratitude to Master Yang.

 Since then, Gu Chengliang went to the Yang Family School to study every day.

Su Er bought the shop on Taoyuan Street, and Huada bought two adjacent shops opposite Baofeng Bank on Zouma Street.

Gu Huayu has been running between Taoyuan Street and Zouma Street these days, communicating with the craftsmen about decoration matters.

On the third day of May, the British government held a crowning ceremony for Lu Ziqin, and all the governments close to him came to watch the ceremony.

Jiang Che specially took a day off and went to the British government office early, where he met Li Cheng on Qingyuan Street.

After the two of them bowed their hands in greeting, Jiang Che reined up his horse and walked to Li Cheng's side, walking side by side with him, "Qingchuan, I want to ask you something."

Li Cheng turned his head to look at Jiang Che and said with a smile: "You and I don't need to be polite. If you have anything to say, just ask. I promise to tell you everything."

Jiang Che leaned toward Li Cheng and said, "Are you familiar with Miss Gu that I met at Fan Tower that day?"

Li Cheng looked at Jiang Che and joked: "What? Love at first sight?"

Jiang Che smiled, neither admitting nor denying, and just said: "I think that girl is extraordinary, let me ask about it."

Li Cheng smiled and said, "This is the third time I have seen Fan Lou today.

 The first time I met Miss Gu was on the street of Hongcheng. I have told you about the scene that day.

 The second time I saw her was two days before returning to Beijing in Hongcheng. I went to a cultural gathering in Chang'an Restaurant and met Ru'an, the boy from Qingyan, so I went to say hello to Qingyan and met Miss Gu there.

 Although I have met Miss Gu three times, I haven’t talked to her much, so I don’t know her well. "

Jiang Che nodded and then asked, "Siwen seems to be very familiar with her!"

Li Cheng nodded, "Yes, Siwen thinks Miss Gu is very good. He treats Miss Gu as a friend and protects Miss Gu in everything."

Jiang Che asked: "Will Siwen come over today?"

Li Cheng shook his head, "I don't know about this, I shouldn't be able to come. Siwen didn't write yesterday's article well, so he was punished by the teacher to rewrite it. He was guarded by the teacher, and he couldn't go anywhere."

Jiang Che said sympathetically: "It's so difficult to think about it!"

Li Cheng smiled and said: "You still sympathize with him? You didn't read the article he wrote, and you almost made me angry."

Jiang Che asked curiously: "What did Siwen write?"

Li Cheng shook his head and said helplessly: "Sir, I will give you an assignment to write a policy essay on the importance of respecting teachers."
