Chapter 202 Let's Talk
He has the same expression from morning till night, like someone owes him money.
She just couldn't understand how Luo Yu, such a gentle and easy-going person, could have such a disgraceful subordinate.
“Miss, Brother Xu is not wrong. You go to the Yun residence to get pastries every few days. What if Lord Yun gets impatient?”
Pearl felt that her young mistress was getting far too close to Lord Yun. They were clearly just neighbors, yet they acted like family, which was really bad for their reputation.
Besides, the Grand Secretary is so cold and indifferent. What if the young lady is neglected after marrying into the family?
Thinking this way, Pearl still felt that Prince Luo was a good person, but it was a pity that he was gone.
Will it?
Gu Shuyan never expected Yun Yichen to be impatient, and looked at Mingyu with some uncertainty.
Mingyu didn't know anything about these things, but since Pearl said so, she probably would!
"Miss, perhaps we should visit the Yun residence less often. Doesn't the eldest young master dislike you going there either?"
Mingyu didn't think as much as Zhenzhu, but the young master seemed to be quite averse to Lord Yun. In order not to affect the relationship between the siblings, it would be better to visit him less often.
"Then let's wait a couple more days from now on!"
Gu Shuyan readily agreed.
"What do you mean by 'two more days'?"
As soon as Ji arrived at the door, she heard Gu Shuyan say that she would be gone in a couple of days. When she saw Ji come in, Gu Shuyan hurriedly got up to greet her.
"Why is Mother here?"
Gu Shuyan had long since given up on writing, and Ji Shi's arrival provided her with a convenient excuse to slack off.
"I know you've been working hard these past few days, so I brought you some fruit and wanted to keep you company."
Gu Shuyan now practices calligraphy for several hours every day. Although Madam Ji feels sorry for her daughter, she also knows that Gu Renjie is doing this for Gu Shuyan's own good, so she has not said anything about it.
On the table, Gu Shuyan's newly written words were neatly arranged. When Ji Shi walked in and took a look, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"It seems that Renjie's method is good. In just a few days, Shu'er's handwriting has already reached this level."
Thinking back to the two months ago when Gu Shuyan helped her write the account book, and how crooked and messy it was, how could it have been so long before she wrote it even better than her?
Given time, it's possible that he could become a master calligrapher.
It has to be said that the Ji family was really overthinking things. The reason why Gu Shuyan wrote poorly before was because she deliberately used her left hand to avoid arousing their suspicion.
"It's all thanks to my elder brother's excellent teaching."
Gu Shuyan was being hypocritical; in her past life, she spent seven years diligently studying music, chess, calligraphy, and painting in order to change other people's opinions.
But before she could even be shown to anyone, she was abandoned and locked up in that small house.
Looking back now, her past life really is a joke.
"Renjie certainly taught well, but in the end, it is our Shu'er who is smarter."
Ji looked at Gu Shuyan with satisfaction, and then, remembering the purpose of her visit, quickly added, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. Tomorrow, I would like to take you to offer incense and pray for blessings, and also to ask for your elder brother's marriage prospects."
Gu Yingjie's wedding is now set for early September, while Gu Renjie has received many inquiries, but he hasn't taken a liking to any of them.
Ji suspected that Gu Renjie might have someone he liked, but after repeated questioning, Gu Renjie insisted that he didn't.
It is said that mothers worry themselves sick, and Ji Shi now feels that way because of her children.
“Great! Everyone says the lotus flowers on the hill behind the temple are blooming beautifully. My daughter has been wanting to go see them for a long time.”
For Gu Shuyan now, being able to leave the manor is an incredibly happy thing.
