Lin Rongqian was quite considerate, going to Zuishenglou, one of the top restaurants in Yunzhou, where the food and wine were of the best quality and the prices were reasonable.
Like the original owner of this body, he preferred to be a playboy and disliked studying. However, he had an older brother, so his parents indulged him and spoiled him quite a bit.
Although Lin Rongqian is a bit of a scoundrel, he is indeed a loyal and righteous person, and worth befriending.
Although he was a commoner like Lu Qingyun, and did not seek fame or fortune, Lin Rongqian was skilled at socializing. He was on good terms with the sons of officials in Yunzhou, and he was also quick-witted, able to get along well anywhere. Halfway through the meal, Lin Rongqian saw an acquaintance, apologized to Lu Qingyan, and went to talk to that person.
Lu Qingyan leaned against the railing upstairs, looking around listlessly, when she unexpectedly spotted a down-on-his-luck scholar.
"Isn't that Mr. Zhao?" Before Lu Qingyan could remember who this person was, Pingfu beside her revealed his identity first.
Lu Qingyan's expression was rather unpleasant.
Although Zhao Jie comes from a poor family, he is quite well-educated. I've heard that he has a somewhat unspeakable past with Jiang Mingda's daughter, and the two families have been visiting each other quite frequently lately.
If these things had nothing to do with Lu Qingyan, she wouldn't be angry. But Zhao Jie was once Lu Qingyun's teacher!
Seeing that the young master's face was a little dark, Pingfu asked, "Young master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just saw someone I know."
Lu Qingyan said with a toothache, he didn't believe that Jiang Mingda really broke off the engagement for his daughter. If it was really for his daughter, why didn't he make any moves after "Lu Qingyun" had been famous for so many years, but suddenly rushed to break off the engagement after the incident with the Prince of Zhou's heir?
Lu Qingyan had heard rumors of Zhao Jie's close relationship with the Jiang family, and now she realized that the two of them had probably been secretly having an affair for a long time.
Ha, the original owner was really green with envy.
Lu Qingyan called out, "Waiter, another pot of pear blossom white wine, please."
Let's drink and be merry while we can, have a few more drinks first.
At dinner at the Lu residence, Old Madam Lu brought up again her plan to choose a good girl for Lu Qingyan. She looked here and there, wanting to pick the best one out. But before Lu Qingyan could refuse, Old Madam Lu had already pointed out a whole host of faults with those girls: this one had an unlucky face that would bring bad luck to her precious grandson, that one had a fiery temper and wouldn't get along with her eldest grandson.
Not wanting to argue with her mother, Lu Zhizhi started scolding Lu Qingyan, "If you hadn't been so lazy in your studies and hadn't even achieved any official rank, your grandmother wouldn't have had to worry about you so much."
Even if Lu Qingyun were just a scholar or a licentiate, it would be easy for him to find a suitable girl. But he is a commoner and has a reputation as a playboy in Yunzhou City. Families who care about their daughters are generally unwilling to marry him, and the Lu family, who are trying to curry favor with him, also look down on him.
Upon hearing Lu Zhizhi scolding his beloved grandson, Old Madam Lu objected, "Everyone says that one should settle down before establishing a career. Qingyun hasn't even married yet, so there's no rush to force him to study."
Lu Zhizhi thought to himself, "I only got to marry Lu Qingyan's mother after passing the imperial examination."
Grandma Lu said, "Eldest grandson, take a good look again. No matter who you fancy, Grandma will help you find a way. Don't be picky!"
Lu Qingyan's lips twitched; she really wanted to say that she now liked men, but in the end, she didn't say it.
Old Madam Lu is different from Lu Zhizhi.
