Zhao Ning looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. Of course he knew Gu Lekang, his teacher's half-brother. He had met him three years ago, but he was a high-spirited and proud young man at the time. Now...

  Gu Lekang put his hands together and stood up, quietly raised his eyes to meet Zhao Ning, and said with a slight smile, "I also ask Mr. Zhao to introduce him on his behalf."

   Zhao Ning took a while to find his voice, "You, Mr. Gu, if you want to see your husband, you can send a greeting card to your door, why should I introduce you? You are the younger brother of your husband, and I think your husband is meeting you."

  Gu Lekang shook his head slightly, "I also asked Mr. Zhao for help. If Mr. Gu is willing to see me, I will wait in the Zhuangyuan Building tomorrow afternoon.

   "Fourth Master!" Changshun, who was standing behind Gu Lekang, couldn't help crying.

  Gu Lekang ignored him, but nodded slightly to Zhao Ning, turned around and left.

  Zhao Ning scratched his head suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong with him, since he wants to see Mr. come to the door, why do you need to go around in such a big circle to invite me?"

  Shi Wei said with complicated eyes: "Because he doesn't want to embarrass Mr. Gu, didn't you realize that there are only a few of us at the door?"

As a talent who has always been suppressed by the genius Gu Lekang, Shi Wei is very familiar with this "enemy" who is not very congenial in temperament. He is proud and conceited. If he used to like to bully others and do some small bad things, such as bullying his classmates , laughing at his companions and the like, then all his negative personalities have now settled down, and they have all become prudent and forbearing.

   And it seems that the most valuable quality in him has not dissipated.

  Although he is reluctant to admit it, he still has to say that Gu Lekang is a person with a very bottom line, and he is also a person who values ​​his family very much.

   Just to get his grandfather's praise, this person can stay in the academy for six hours a day and fight, even forgetting to eat.

  So Shi Wei and others were jealous of him, but they were convinced from the bottom of their hearts, after all, they couldn't compare to him in terms of diligence.

   And several of them are working hard for the imperial examination, so they will also bother to manage contacts, Gu Lekang...

  Gu Lekang used to be a genius who could only read. Although he was amazing, he was also proud and conceited. He was surrounded by people who supported him.

Shi Wei sighed, "You don't know, he used to look at people out of the corner of his eye, which was particularly irritating. Except for the students of Changfeng Academy, no one in the capital wanted to be friends with him. As soon as the situation fell, the first people to alienate turned out to be those classmates who had been surrounding him."

"Although his character was really bad in the past, he was still very loyal to his friends. If anyone had any difficulties, he would help each other as long as he could help him, and he would also contribute with money. Those around him only need to take Ask him for his homework, and he won't hide it..." It is precisely because of this knowledge that Gu Lekang was ridiculed for being a traitor, and the Zhongyong Hou Mansion fell. Wei and Zheng Xucai did not follow the crowd to step on their feet, but deliberately downplayed Gu Lekang's existence in the circle, no one thought of him, and no one would insult him again.

   Zhao Ning looked at Shi Wei in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so emotional."

Shi Wei came back to his senses, the look on his face disappeared, and he kicked out: "You talk less and do more, hurry up and report to Mr. Gu, I saw that the servant who followed Gu Lekang had some problems, but it seemed It's like coming to monitor him, if Mr. Gu doesn't want to see him, then refuse as soon as possible, I don't think Gu Lekang will force it."

   Of course Gu Lekang wouldn't force it. There were many ways to see Gu Jingyun, but he chose the one that took the longest time, was the most troublesome, and worried about Gu Jingyun's mood the most.

   No matter how estranged they are, they are still brothers by blood. Gu Lekang can visit Gu's house directly. Gu Jingyun doesn't bother to embarrass him, but he will definitely not feel good when he suddenly sees his half-brother.

   You can also visit the academy directly and stop the car directly on the road. These methods are useless for Gu Lekang. Instead, he asks Zhao Ning to help spread the word.

   can be said to have taken good care of Gu Jingyun's body and mind, but Gu Jingyun himself really doesn't mind him.

Because he has had a good time recently, when he suddenly heard the news of Gu Lekang, the smile on his face did not change, but he nodded with a smile: "I only have two classes in the morning, and I can go to school before noon, but I can go there. ."

   also looked at Li Baolu with interest, "Would you like to go? I'll invite you to eat mandarin fish. I heard that it was made by a new chef from Suzhou. It's very authentic."

  Li Baolu drooled, and finally shook her head and said, "I have more classes tomorrow morning."

   Gu Jingyun regretted, "Then you definitely won't be able to eat it."

   "Actually, you can pack it for me," Li Baolu said bluntly, "It shouldn't take you much time to see him, we'll pack it back and we'll eat together."

  The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth was slightly raised, "Then you wait for me to come back, we won't go to the cafeteria, let's go to the teaching house, it's so cold, in the teaching house, you can make a fire pot to keep warm."

  Li Baolu nodded again and again, "I'll go back to the fire pot as soon as I go to school. The house should be warm when you come back."

  Gu Jingyun nodded happily, and made an appointment with Li Baolu for tomorrow's noon schedule.

Zhao Ning on the side of    couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, sir, if you don't want the mistress to go to the Knowledge Garden alone, just say it clearly, why do you need to make such a big circle? Not too tired.

  Gu Jingyun didn't feel tired at all. After class the next day, he had someone pass a note to Li Baolu, telling her to make a fire as soon as possible to warm the house. It was cold today, and he felt a little cold.

   Then he went to Zhuangyuan Building.

   There was still nearly an hour before noon, but he knew that Gu Lekang was probably waiting there.

  Gu Lekang was standing at the window of a box on the second floor, watching the hustle and bustle below, and he let out a sigh of relief after a while.

   In fact, the capital has not changed, he thinks it has changed because his mood has changed.

  Gu Lekang turned around and was about to go back to the table to sit down when he saw Erlin driving a carriage parked under the restaurant. He was slightly startled and stuck his head out to look.

  I saw Gu Jingyun getting out of the car in plain clothes, looking up at him leaning out.

  Gu Jingyun showed a smile, raised his feet and walked in. Gu Lekang had already turned around and walked out of the box to greet him.

  He looked at Gu Jingyun, who was walking up the stairs, with a little helplessness, and when he got to the front, he blushed slightly, "Brother, brother..."

  Gu Jingyun nodded slightly, then turned around and entered the box.

   Gu Lekang took a deep breath of relief and quickly followed.

  Changshun's eyes lit up and he had to follow up, Gu Lekang stopped and turned to look at him, his eyes flashed fiercely, "You wait outside."

   "Fourth Master!"

  Gu Lekang looked at him sharply, Erlin hurriedly smiled and held Changshun, "Uncle Changshun, our uncle and nephew have not seen each other for a long time, why don't you chat with me outside?"

  Changshun twitched the corners of his mouth and responded stiffly.

  Gu Lekang then entered the box and closed the door.

  Gu Jingyun was standing at the window looking out, when he heard the sound, he turned around to look at him, "Is he here to monitor you?"

  Gu Lekang lowered his head.

Gu Jingyun sneered, "Let me guess, the person who ordered this must not be Lord Gu, he will not be so stupid, you are his most promising and promising grandson, he will not let you and him, The one who is estranged from the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion is Gu Huaijin, wasn't he locked up, why was he released?"

   Gu Lekang lowered his eyes and stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea.

  Gu Jingyun caressed the tea wall lightly. Seeing that he pursed the corner of his mouth tightly and did not speak, he asked curiously, "Why did you see me?"

  Gu Lekang opened his mouth wide, he just wanted Changshun to see him working hard to come to Gu Jingyun, but he really didn't think about what he would say after seeing Gu Jingyun.

  Gu Lekang's mind was in chaos, and he stuttered after a while, "I, I'm going back to my hometown. I don't know when the next meeting will be, so I'll come and see you."

  Gu Jingyun frowned and looked up at Gu Lekang seriously.

   Seeing him bowing his head and pinching his fingers nervously with both hands, he couldn't help frowning. What was wrong with him, he even exposed his nervousness.

   He frowned and said, "Didn't you come back for next year's spring festival, and are you leaving now?"

  Gu Lekang explained dryly: "It's still a while before the Spring Festival, so I'll be in a hurry to come back after the New Year."

  Gu Jingyun loosened his brows, leaned back on the chair relaxedly, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "It's Gu Huaijin who is making trouble again, are you planning to send him back to his ancestral house?"

  Gu Lekang looked up at him in surprise.

   Gu Jingyun sneered, "Master Gu has a big heart."

He looked Gu Lekang up and down, frowned, and said, "I advise you, if you don't stop and suffer from the chaos, going out of Beijing at this time is tantamount to giving up next year's spring festival, you have to wait another three years. Although I haven't seen you. The current level, but I think it should be better than it was three years ago. It should not be difficult to win, but it is just a high or low ranking. But the imperial examination is also like a battlefield. You gave up once three years ago, and this time you don't enter the field or have an accident on the field, until the third time..."

Gu Jingyun looked at him with a sneer and said, "Once you fail in the exam room, you will fall into a vicious circle, you will never pass the exam. If you can't go out, can you be a steel wall and don't care about the world's gossip?"

   Gu Lekang's eyes were red, and he looked up at him, "Then what about you, why are you always not afraid of the world's gossip? Are you an iron wall?"

   Gu Jingyun looked at him with a smile but not a smile and said, "If you have a strong mind, you will naturally not be afraid. You can't do it."

  Gu Lekang couldn't help lying on the table and burying his head and crying. He really couldn't do it. He told himself in his heart that he didn't care, so he behaved indifferently and calmly, but how could he really not care?
