Lord Lu was very upset.
Because he knew that he could never defeat Renqiu's twisted logic with just words.
Renqiu always has a way of leading the topic into strange places.
He waved his hand and told Renqiu to stop talking nonsense.
"Madam Zhao asked Master Yu to thank me. Is this a demonstration?"
"You can think of it as a gesture of goodwill, not a demonstration." Renqiu reminded Lord Lu not to always think so badly of people's hearts.
Lord Lu chuckled twice.
"You're still ungrateful after getting the advantage? I've worked so hard, but in the end, I'm just making wedding clothes for others."
Ren Qiu asked, "What good would it do Madam Zhao to have a grudge against you? She could have done nothing, and there would have been no misunderstanding. She specifically asked Yu Ge'er to thank you, which was clearly a gesture of goodwill. You will know about Li Bingming's affairs sooner or later. Rather than waiting until then to show goodwill, it is better to be honest from the beginning. Perhaps I can win your friendship."
Lord Lu remained noncommittal. "Perhaps, as you said, she is trying to show goodwill. Does she think that just because she's showing goodwill, I have to respond to her?"
"You don't have to respond to her. Obviously, Madam Zhao didn't expect you to respond to her. She just sent a signal that she is willing to talk to you."
"I have nothing to discuss with her."
Lord Lu denied Renqiu's statement without any hesitation.
Renqiu doesn’t matter.
I've finished my chicken wings and am bored, so I'm going back to my room to read.
He jumped down from the railing and clapped his hands. "If everything is alright, I'll go back to my room first."
"Wait a moment."
Lord Lu called out to Renqiu, "Do you think those thoughts of Master Yu are normal?"
Ren Qiu thought for a moment and said, "If he weren't the grandson of the emperor, those thoughts wouldn't be considered abnormal. But if we look at the problem from his perspective, it certainly isn't very normal."
"Who taught you?" Lord Lu was very serious.
Ren Qiu waved his hand. "It wasn't me who taught him, and it probably wasn't the eldest prince either. He also denied that Madam Zhao taught him. It's very likely that it was his own idea."
Lord Lu was very curious, "How could he, a little kid, come up with such an idea?"
"He's not a child anymore. In a few years, it's time to talk about marriage."
Master Lu was very tired. "As his teacher, aren't you worried about his thoughts?"
Ren Qiu smiled and said, "There's nothing to worry about. He's not the only prince with strange ideas. He just dares to express them. I hope you don't tell anyone, otherwise I'll have to move out."
Lord Lu snorted, dissatisfied. "I am not a gossipy person. I will definitely not tell others about the child's words."
"That's great. Anything else?"
Lord Lu waved his hand with great disgust.
Renqiu ran away quickly.
…
Yu Ge'er now has a new habit.
This habit was developed after entering the palace to study.
He doesn't like riding in a carriage now and prefers to walk home.
To avoid traveling, he lived in a separate courtyard in the city while studying in the palace. Every day after leaving the palace, he would walk back to the courtyard and even take a detour to the market.
I'm not looking to buy anything, I'm just curious. Look here and there.
Wherever there was excitement, he would go over and observe secretly.
After returning to the villa, he would make an observation note and write down his thoughts and experiences.
Gu Jiu didn't know anything about this.
Gu Jiu only knew that he went to the market every day, but he didn't know that he would also write down his thoughts and feelings.
Yu Ge'er will only eat dinner after finishing his homework.
Then he walked around the yard to digest the food, reciting books silently.
Wait until dark, wash up, go to bed, read a book and then go to sleep.
The next morning, we had to get up early before dawn.
The servants who serve Yu Ge'er were all carefully selected by Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao.
Yu Ge'er was growing up, and Gu Jiu was worried that something might happen, so he didn't arrange for a maid to serve him.
All the maids stayed in Xiaozhu.
Only when Yu Ge'er returned to Xiaozhu was he served by a little maid.
In response to Gu Jiu's concerns, Liu Zhao secretly canceled her.
"You're just worrying about nothing. He's just that old."
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at Liu Zhao.
"I didn't stop the maid from serving him. I just didn't feel comfortable letting her accompany him to live in the other courtyard."
"In the final analysis, you are just worrying about nothing."
"As a mother, is it wrong for me to worry about things that are unnecessary?" Gu Jiu was unhappy.
Liu Zhao immediately admitted his mistake, "That's right, absolutely right. If anyone dares to say you're wrong, I'll turn against him."
Gu Ji chuckled and gave him a look, letting him understand.
…
That day, Yu Ge'er left the palace and took a detour through the market as usual to return to his villa.
The eunuchs followed him and served him.
The guards were a few steps away, following closely to ensure Yu Ge'er's safety.
"Liu Yu, Liu Yu..."
On the street, Yu Ge'er was surprised when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
He looked in the direction of the sound.
A young boy walked out of a shop selling stationery.
Liu Yu was certain that the person before him was a stranger. He might have seen him before, but he just couldn't remember where.
"Liu Yu, it's me! I'm Liu Feng, Liu Feng from the Prince of Chu's Mansion."
oh!
Liu Yu suddenly understood.
Liu Feng, he remembered.
The Twelve Princes of the Chu Palace.
His biological mother is a sister of his mother, and her name seems to be Gu Yue.
Liu Feng was obviously very enthusiastic when he saw Liu Yu.
"Watching you from afar, I was wondering if you were Liu Yu. As I got closer, it was indeed you. What a coincidence that we bumped into each other here today. Have you eaten? I'll treat you. We'll prepare a feast at the restaurant. It's a rare opportunity for us brothers to meet, so let's take this opportunity to have a good chat."
Liu Yu said politely: "Thank you! I have to hurry back to do my homework."
Liu Feng was stunned. "I heard that you're studying in the palace. The teachers there are very strict, right? Do you really do your homework diligently every day? Why don't you ask your study partner to help you? Don't you have a study partner? No way! You're the grandson of the emperor, how could you not have a study partner? Even I have a study partner."
Liu Yu didn't want to say more, "Let's talk another day. I have to hurry back."
Liu Feng pulled him, "Don't rush back. We two brothers finally meet each other, and I have a lot to say to you. Have you been to the Gu family? I plan to take some time to visit the Gu family. Do you want to come with me?"
Liu Yu frowned, "What are you doing at Gu's house?"
"Of course, we're visiting relatives." Liu Feng laughed. "The Gu family is my maternal grandparents' home. When I was young and ignorant, I didn't know how to go back to visit my grandparents. Now that I'm older, it's my responsibility to visit the Gu family. Didn't your mother bring you back to visit relatives?"
Liu Yu said: "During the holidays, I always visit the Gu family. Now that it's not a holiday, it's inconvenient to go."
Liu Feng said, "The Gu family is our maternal grandparents' home. Why do we need to choose a date to go back to our own maternal grandparents' home? Why don't we make an appointment to go over and take a look tomorrow? I can't even remember what my grandfather looks like, and how are my uncles doing?"
"If you want to go to Gu's house, go ahead. I won't go." Liu Yu refused clearly.
Liu Feng looked surprised, "Why is this?"
Liu Yu said, "I'm busy studying and really can't spare the time. Goodbye!"
Liu Yu shook off Liu Feng and left with the eunuchs and guards. He soon disappeared into the crowd.
Liu Feng was confused at first, then he stamped his feet and frowned, looking very unhappy.
He chose this place on purpose and took a lot of effort to successfully block Liu Yu.
As a result, Liu Yu refused to listen and showed no affection for his family.
The servant came out of the shop and asked quietly, "Sir, what should we do next?"
Liu Feng sneered, "Without Butcher Zhang, do I have to eat hairy pigs? At worst, I can go to the Gu family alone. I don't believe the Gu family can kick me out. I heard that my grandmother loves my mother the most. As the saying goes, love the house and love the dog. My grandmother will definitely be very happy to see me."
"My lord, your opinion is excellent!"
Liu Feng was forced into a corner.
In the palace, he had no maternal family to rely on, the King of Chu didn't care about him, and the princess clearly disliked him. As he grew older, his situation became more and more awkward.
He was indeed the son of the Prince of Chu, but his growth was like that of a weed, with no one caring about him.
Liu Yu is different.
Liu Yu was loved by his parents and received the best education and care.
Liu Feng just wanted to get closer to Liu Yu.
If Liu Yu could be invited to be a guest at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, or if Liu Yu invited him to be a guest at Xiaozhu, then his treatment at the Prince of Chu's Mansion would also improve.
However, Liu Yu did not give him any face.
Liu Feng was still a teenager and had no one to teach him, so he couldn't come up with any clever ideas.
The only thing I can think of is to go directly to the Gu family to recognize my relatives.
He is the grandson of the Gu family, and there is no reason for the Gu family to disown him.
…
Gu Mansion.
Liu Feng came suddenly, and everyone in the Gu family, from the doorman to the master, was caught off guard.
Gu Daren instinctively tried to avoid it and ordered Gu Cheng, "Go meet him. If he's a good person, fine. But if he's a troublemaker, just give him some money and send him away."
Gu Cheng frowned, "Father, he came to pay his respects to you."
"I'm busy."
Mr. Gu doesn't care about his grandson.
He only cares about his grandson.
Especially the eldest grandson who is smart, sensible and good at reading.
As for his grandson, no matter how good he is, he is someone else's child and has nothing to do with him.
Gu Yan was very dissatisfied and had strong opinions.
How can you do things like this?
No matter what kind of person he is, since he has come to your door, you should at least meet him.
Lord Gu said with a stern face, "Take him to see your mother. Your mother loves Gu Yue the most, and she will definitely be happy to see Gu Yue's child."
Gu Cheng sighed, "This is against the rules. He should come and pay his respects to his father first."
"I've already said that I don't care about his greetings."
"No matter if Father wants him or not, since he came directly to my house, Father should meet him anyway."
Lord Gu was very annoyed and was furious when he saw Gu Yan was so stubborn.
"Never mind, never mind. Bring him in. I will only see him once."
Gu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He ordered someone to take Liu Feng directly to the study.
When Liu Feng walked in from the door against the light, Gu Cheng suddenly felt his brain congested and he felt dizzy.
He didn't pay attention to what was said afterwards. He just stared at Liu Feng's face.
It was Lord Gu who woke him up.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take him to see your mother. Your mother has already sent people to urge him twice."
"Liu Feng, right? Come with me."
"Thank you, Third Uncle."
Gu Yan was in a trance, as if walking on the clouds.
