Chapter 41 Chapter 41 "Gu Anlan!"
==Chapter 41==
After the Gao Dang case was settled, Feng Ge Lao was promoted to the position of Prime Minister step by step. Feng Wenyu clearly felt the change in outsiders' attitude towards him.
But for Feng Wenyu, she is also used to the flattery of others, and she is currently caught in a difficult choice.
Her second brother asked her to accompany him on his study tour.
When Feng Wenyu heard the news from his mother, his mind was blown. She? Accompanying his second brother on a study tour?
She had heard her second brother mention this during the fireworks party, but she didn't expect that after so long, her second brother still hadn't given up the idea.
Feng Wenyu asked with an inexplicable emotion, "Did mother agree to my second brother's proposal?"
Zhou Yueyu's face was still irritated. Upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes. "I think he's been spoiled. He has no sense of propriety. Is he going out to study or to have fun? He even wants to bring his family along."
If Feng Wenzhou really got married and wanted to bring his family with him, Zhou Yueyu would be speechless and too lazy to stop him.
But what about him taking his younger sister with him when he went out to study?
Zhou Yueyu said with a slightly annoyed tone: "Your marriage with the Xie family hasn't been finalized yet, so how can you have the time to wander around with him? He really does whatever he wants!"
Even the word "wandering" came out, which shows that Zhou Yueyu was dissatisfied with Feng Wenzhou's proposal.
Zhou Yueyu was really dissatisfied. She had four children and could only try her best to treat them equally. Now her eldest son and daughter were already married, and only her youngest son and daughter were left. The youngest son had not yet reached adulthood and had his grandfather and father to worry about him. So Zhou Yueyu's focus now was of course on Feng Wenyu.
Girls' youth is limited to a few years, how could they let him waste this critical moment?
After saying that, Zhou Yueyu looked at Feng Wenyu with suspicion: "You don't want to go out with your second brother too, do you?"
When asking this question, Zhou Yueyu's tone was a little tense. It would be fine if one person was weird, but it couldn't be that both of them were weird at the same time, right?
Hearing the danger in these words, Feng Wenyu shook his head decisively:
"Mom, you're slandering me! I don't have that idea!"
Zhou Yueyu narrowed her eyes and snorted softly: "You'd better not."
These two siblings have always been in collusion with each other. Zhou Yueyu couldn't help but suspect that this was a countermeasure they had discussed and then proposed by Feng Wenzhou.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yueyu nags again: "You are getting engaged soon, you must stop fooling around with your second brother."
When the word "engagement" was mentioned, Feng Wenyu pursed her lips imperceptibly. She inadvertently raised her hands to cover her ears and said "oh" in a muffled voice.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Zhou Yueyu was relieved, but the next moment, she frowned again:
"I don't know what the Xie family is up to. It's been so long, and they haven't even asked the official media to come and propose marriage."
But Zhou Yueyu couldn't bring up this matter on her own initiative. She was a person with a narrow view of family background and had some complaints about the Xie family in her heart. How could she let others think that her daughter was throwing herself at him?
Feng Wenyu's eyes became vague again.
Feng Wenzhou was silent for a moment when he learned that Feng Wenyu refused to go with him. For three consecutive days, Feng Wenyu was turned away when he came to see him.
Feng Wenyu stamped her feet in anger:
"Feng Wenzhou, if you don't open the door, don't even think about asking me to call you Second Brother again!"
Feng Wenzhou drooped his eyelids, pretending not to hear the childish threat. There was no movement outside for a long time, and his movements of turning the pages of the book slowed down. He looked towards the gate with suspicion.
Are you giving up so soon today?
After a moment, he heard a sound coming from the top of the wall. Feng Wenzhou's face changed slightly. He raised his head and saw someone climbing up the wall with a ladder in a hurry. Half of her body was sticking out. It made people feel that she would fall down if she was not careful. It was so frightening. Feng Wenzhou's face changed suddenly:
"Come down quickly!"
Feng Wenyu stepped on the ladder. The maids and servants beside her looked at her fearfully, holding the ladder carefully. Feng Wenyu held the wall with one hand, feeling a little panicked, but she still didn't go down. Instead, she raised her chin high and snorted coldly: "Do you think I can't do anything to you if you close the door?"
Feng Wenzhou was speechless. He immediately ordered the gate to be opened and had someone escort her down. He was furious and said, "You have a hundred ways to get in. Why do you have to risk your life?"
Feng Wenyu was completely confused after being scolded. Climbing a ladder is a risk?
He secretly grumbled in his heart that he was making a fuss out of nothing, but Feng Wenyu did not refute it. Instead, he asked:
"Then what else can we do? Should we ask someone to break down your door?"
Feng Wenzhou rarely gave Feng Wenyu a cold face: "It's just a door. It's better than you falling down."
Feng Wenyu made several "Pooh" sounds and pursed her lips:
"Don't curse me!"
She came down unharmed.
Feng Wenzhou glared at her, and Feng Wenyu glared back. She said dissatisfiedly, "I've been turned away for three days, and you don't apologize to me, but you're still angry with me?"
Feng Wenzhou pursed his lips: "You deserve it."
"Who told you not to go with me?"
Mentioning this, Feng Wenyu felt a little guilty. She said, "Escape won't solve the problem."
The yard was quiet for a while before Feng Wenzhou spoke:
"I'm useless."
Feng Wenyu was instantly overwhelmed. She didn't understand: "It's clearly my fault, why are you blaming yourself?"
Feng Wenzhou turned his head without saying a word.
Feng Wenyu was annoyed. He was always like this, extremely stubborn and only believed in his own opinions.
In the main courtyard, Zhou Yueyu had just asked the steward to leave when she heard that the second young lady and the second young master had a quarrel. She held her forehead with a headache, but Zhou Yueyu didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the two at all.
The two had quarreled before, and once outsiders intervened, it would only make the quarrel escalate, and eventually the entire Feng family would suffer from unrest.
Just then, the servant beside the master came back and said, "Madam, the master said that he left a memorial in the study and asked me to come back to get it."
The key point of the study is that even the most trusted servant is not allowed to enter without the master present.
Hearing this, Zhou Yueyu's eyes lit up. She went to the study to get the memorial herself, and then ordered, "Go and call the young lady over."
Feng Wenyu came to the front yard with anger still lingering: "What do you want from me, mother?"
Zhou Yueyu handed the memorial to her:
"Go to the Ministry of Personnel and give the things to your father, but hurry up, your father is pressing."
A voice urging her to do so made Feng Wenyu swallow all her refusal words. She pursed her lips and said, "I understand." The servants had already prepared the carriage, so Feng Wenyu could go out with the memorial. She staggered all the way to the Ministry of Personnel. It was an important place among the six ministries, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. Feng Wenyu could only ask someone to go in and pass on the message.
It was just the beginning of spring, and she was still wearing a crane cloak. Her red dress was particularly conspicuous in front of the solemn official office.
Someone saw her back and recognized her. He was about to go back to the Hanlin Academy, but suddenly changed direction.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Feng Wenyu tilted his head slightly. When he saw Gu Yu in official uniform, Feng Wenyu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Isn't it embarrassing!
She was not an ungrateful person. Gu Yushi had kindly comforted her for a long time during the fireworks party that day, but as soon as she calmed down, she instantly realized that it was inappropriate for her and Gu Yushi to be alone together, so she made an excuse that she needed to borrow water to wash her face, and she never came back.
I don’t know whether Gu Yushi left after she left that day.
It should be impossible to wait for her here, right?
Although she had many distracting thoughts in her mind, she did not take the initiative to pay attention to Gu Yushi. She just pretended that she did not see it. She stood aside holding the memorial, lowered her head and prayed that Gu Yushi would not recognize her.
However, the expectations were dashed.
"Why are you here?"
The man stopped and stopped right next to her. Feng Wenyu was speechless for a moment.
She raised her head reluctantly and said in a muffled voice, "I'm here to give something to my father."
A corner of the memorial peeked out from her crane cloak. Her fingers, holding it, were frozen white. Gu Yushi also noticed it and frowned slightly: "I'll take it in for you."
Although spring is approaching, the weather has not yet warmed up. The cold wind is howling, and just staying outside for a while can make people shiver all over.
Feng Wenyu subconsciously tightened the memorial a little, and she coughed lightly:
"Thank you, Master Gu, for your kindness."
Gu Yushi and her father are not in the same department. Seeing that her father is urging her so hard, it is obvious that the content must be important. What if there is something that Gu Yushi cannot see?
Feng Wenyu completely forgot about Gu Yushi's official position, which was as a bachelor of imperial studies. Most of the memorials sent to the emperor would be read to him by him.
She was guarding against loneliness.
Gu Yushi also noticed her defensiveness and felt inexplicably upset.
Inexplicably emotional, he forgot his duties for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Second Miss, I won't peek."
He called her the Second Miss, which was really harsh, Feng Wenyu thought silently in her heart.
When she heard what Gu Yushi said clearly, she blinked and said "Oh" dryly, but still had no intention of handing the memorial to him.
So stubborn.
Gu Yushi was so angry that he almost laughed.
At this time, Feng Rongyu finally came out. He was surprised to see the two of them together. He frowned and looked at Feng Wenyu's red cheeks. "Why did you deliver it yourself? Were you cold on the way?"
Feng Wenyu handed him the memorial and shook his head:
"There's a stove burning in the carriage."
Feng Rongyu took the letter and opened it in front of Gu Yushi. Seeing this, Feng Wenyu was about to say something but stopped himself.
However, after reading the memorial, Feng Rongyu nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. It's cold outside, Ah Yu, go back quickly."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Gu Yushi:
"Does Gu Shidu have time to take a look at this memorial for me?"
This memorial is exactly the budget that the Ministry of Personnel wants to apply for this year. After the Gao Party incident is over, the stolen money found will be enough to approve the budgets of the six ministries, and more than enough.
Gu Yushi is an imperial servant, and he must be clear about the budget bottom line that the emperor can approve. It is also a coincidence that I met Gu Yushi here.
You know, Gu Yu almost never comes to the Six Departments under normal circumstances.
Feng Rongyu intended to find out some information from Gu Yushi.
Feng Wenyu hadn't left yet. When she heard what her father said, especially when Gu Yushi glanced at her, heat instantly rushed to her cheeks. She looked left and right, but refused to look at Gu Yushi.
Gu Yushi seemed a little hesitant:
"I think it's inconvenient for you—"
Feng Wenyu was so embarrassed that she felt like smoke was coming out of her head. She was so angry that she subconsciously stopped him: "Gu Anlan!"
In an instant, the surroundings fell into an inexplicable silence.
Feng Rongyu took the memorial, looked at this and then at that, and didn't understand what was going on.
Feng Wenyu also bit her lip in regret. Why did she call out that name?
It was Gu Yushi who broke the silence. He answered Feng Rongyu's previous question:
"I have time."
Someone looked at him, and he looked up as well. When their eyes met, she pursed her lips, as if stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her eyes and turned her head away, refusing to look back at him.
