Chapter 81 Don’t you like Gu Qingning?
"I don't want to drink."
Lu Jingyu looked disgusted and wanted to kick his brother away.
He is going to consummate his marriage with Qingning tonight, so how could he be drunk? Was Hangzhi doing this on purpose?
Lu Hangzhi pleaded dejectedly, "Brother, the imperial examination will be held in a month, but I am so confused. I have made my father sick and my mother angry. I don't know what is wrong with me."
"Just drink with me and let me get rid of the depression in my heart. From tomorrow on, I will study hard, pass the exam, and never let my father worry again."
Lu Jingyu frowned and looked at him, "Where are those bad friends of yours?"
Lu Hangzhi smiled bitterly, "You said they were just bad friends, why would I still hang out with them? I don't want to be a playboy. We agreed before that you learn martial arts and I learn literature, and from now on, we two brothers will support each other and carry forward the Duke's Mansion."
But I don’t know what went wrong and it turned out like this today.
Although Lu Jingyu was quite disappointed with his younger brother, it was difficult for him to refuse what he said.
In the end, they said they would just drink in the house and not go out, and Lu Jingyu reluctantly agreed.
But before leaving, Lu Jingyu asked Chuan Gu to report the matter to Gu Qingning.
Lu Hangzhi felt a little jealous. When he arrived at the flower hall and the servants were setting out the dishes and serving the wine, Lu Hangzhi's tone was a little sour:
"Brother, I didn't expect that you would accept Gu Qingning so easily."
Lu Jingyu: "Do you think I'm as heartless and ungrateful as you are?"
Lu Hangzhi: "I am not heartless and ungrateful and I didn't abandon her!"
Lu Jingyu: "So you let her be your concubine?"
Lu Hangyi choked and said very depressedly: "I know this is unfair to Gu Qingning, but I think that she and Shen Ruoying are cousins, and they have a deep sisterly love. Although she is a concubine, there is no distinction between big and small, and they can live in peace."
Lu Jingyu sneered, "No distinction between big and small? Live in peace? Look at the chaotic state of your yard now. If it weren't for Shen Ruoying, you would be a father!"
Lu Hangzhi felt a pain in his heart when he thought of the two children he had lost.
Lu Jingyu: "Hangzhi, up to now, you still haven't figured out that Shen Ruoying is a selfish person?"
Can't you see it?
Lu Hangzhi held his head in pain, "I know that she is not only selfish, but also cruel and can even harm her own children. But brother, I still like her."
This is also where he suffers the most.
Lu Jingyu was speechless, "How can a man be bound by love?"
Lu Hangzhi suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother, do you mean that you don't like Gu Qingning?"
Lu Jingyu: “…”
Doesn’t he like Gu Qingning?
Lu Jingyu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but the words were too hot to his lips, and he changed his tone when they reached his lips.
"I'm different from you."
Lu Hangzhi pressed on, "What's the difference? But brother, you and Gu Qingning have only been together for a short time, and your current marriage was originally a misunderstanding. It's understandable that you don't like her."
Lu Jingyu frowned, and a nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart.
But Lu Hangzhi didn't notice it. He felt even more upset when he thought of all the misfortunes that happened after he married Shen Ruoying.
Soon the food and wine were served.
Lu Hangzhi filled Lu Jingyu's glass with wine and said solemnly, "This cup is my apology to my elder brother. It was my fault as the younger brother to exchange the bride in the first place."
Lu Jingyu: "This matter is over, no need to mention it again."
**
While the two brothers were toasting each other, Gu Qingning in Songtao Pavilion had already received the news.
"Where are the young master and the second young master drinking?"
Chuan Gu nodded, "It was the Second Young Master who came to the Young Master crying and begging him, and he did it in the mansion. After all, they are still brothers. Most importantly, the Young Master also thinks that the Second Young Master has been too unreasonable recently and wants to teach him a lesson."
The Duke was so angry that he fell ill. As the eldest brother is like a father, Lu Jingyu certainly couldn't just watch his own brother become disabled.
Moreover, the imperial examination was about to begin.
Gu Qingning: "I understand. Then you should go back and serve the young master. If there is anything, send someone back to report."
"yes."
After Chuan Gu left, Gu Qingning specifically instructed the small kitchen to prepare the hangover soup.
Although I don't know how much the young master can drink, even if he doesn't get drunk, he will feel uncomfortable if he drinks too much.
Granny Liao was a little surprised, "Why did the Second Young Master suddenly come to drink with the Young Master?"
Gu Qingning: "No matter what, they are brothers."
Although they are not from the same mother, blood is thicker than water and they grew up together. As long as it is not a major conflict of principle, it will definitely be resolved.
Gu Qingning half lowered her eyes.
It’s great to have brothers and sisters. When you do something wrong, there will be people to scold you. When you do something right, there will be people to praise you. No matter what, you will never be alone.
But her family members are all buried in the ground, leaving her alone...
Just when Chuan Gu returned to Lu Jingyu in the flower hall, he saw Linlang walking in leisurely with a pipa in her arms.
Lu Jingyu frowned instantly.
Lu Hangzhi: "Linlang, why are you here?"
Linlang bowed to the two of them and said, "I saw that the Second Young Master was in a bad mood and was drinking here, so I thought of playing some melodious music to entertain you, but I didn't expect that the Young Master was also here. If you dislike it, I will leave immediately."
These days, Lu Hangzhi has been resting in Linlang's room, and he likes her thoughtfulness even more.
It has to be said that drinking alone was indeed too boring. He wanted to keep Linlang in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak rashly. He looked at Lu Jingyu as if asking for help.
"Brother, look..."
Linlang also raised her head and looked at Lu Jingyu, wanting to say something but not saying it.
Lu Jingyu is much more muscular than Lu Hangzhi, and his temperament is more powerful. Just sitting there, he cannot be underestimated.
Linlang's heart was beating very fast, and the hand holding the pipa also exerted a little force.
At this moment, Lu Jingyu spoke coldly.
"Listening to music and drinking wine, do you think this is a brothel? If so, then just drink this bar by yourself!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lu Hangzhi immediately said, "Linlang, you are no longer needed here, go back quickly."
"Yes." Linlang bit her lip lightly, then obediently held the pipa and left quickly.
But after she walked out the door, the uneasy look on her face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The maid next to him whispered, "The young master is so cold-blooded. He got so angry just by listening to a piece of music. Besides, does he dislike your background..."
Linlang glared at her, and the maid dared not speak any more.
In fact, Linlang was indeed a little unwilling before, so she tried again.
After testing again, she was glad that she had insisted on choosing the second young master instead of testing the young master.
A man as cold-blooded and ruthless as the young master is not someone an ordinary woman can get close to.
As for Gu Qingning...how long can she stay with the young master?
