Chapter 668 Another Year Has Passed

The next day, brothers Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye drove to Sheng's house in Jiying Lane.

As soon as they got off the carriage, they heard the sound of another carriage coming from behind them, and they looked over curiously.

"Uncle, Second Uncle, we meet again?"

Qi Heng got out of the carriage as soon as it stopped.

"Yuan Ruo, what are you doing..."

"Haha, I heard yesterday that uncle and second uncle were both studying at the Sheng family. Am I not here because of their reputation?"

After Qi Heng got off the car, he first bowed respectfully to the two of them, and then explained.

"Really, that's great, you're really welcome then."

Gu Tingyu had known about this matter for a long time, but he didn't expect that it was because of the two of them that came here. This could be considered a change caused by this little butterfly of his.

"Young Master, Brother Tingyu, Brother Tingye, are you here?"

Sheng Changbai just happened to come out of the yard at this time. Seeing the three people chatting happily, he took the time to interrupt and speak.

“Brother Changbai, Yuanruo will be in trouble in the future.”

"Young Master, I dare not say that."

"Brother Changbai, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Yuan Ruo. Sorry to bother you in the future."

"Okay, Yuan Ruo, let's go in quickly."

Sheng Changbai led the three of them directly into the yard, chatting and laughing all the way to the private school.

When the four arrived, the three little girls, Rulan, Molan and Minglan, had already arrived.

Looking at Qi Heng who walked in, Rulan and Molan were stunned for a moment. This young master was so handsome.

Minglan didn't pay much attention to it. After a quick glance, she came back to her senses.

She is now thinking about what to eat for lunch and has no idea about matters between men and women.

Moreover, she also saw what her two sisters were thinking, so she was very careful not to argue.

This was also what her mother Wei had told her when she passed away, and she had always kept it in mind.

After Master Zhuang arrived, the class began. During the class, Rulan and Molan hardly paid attention to the lecture, and they looked back at Gu Tingye and Qi Heng from time to time.

For a moment, I didn’t know which one to choose in my little head. Qi Heng was relatively elegant and had the standard image of a scholar.

Gu Tingye looked much more masculine, with a sharp-edged face, looking like a young general on the battlefield.

Both of them were a bit messy.

Minglan, on the other hand, had no such thoughts at all. While listening to Mr. Zhuang's lecture, her little head almost fell asleep, just like a senior high school student who didn't get enough sleep.

Ever since Qi Heng arrived at the Sheng family and started classes, time passed quickly and winter soon arrived.

It's New Year's Day again, and the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion is busy with people coming and going to pay New Year's greetings in an endless stream.

In the past, Gu Tingyu didn’t have to worry about this matter. After all, he was in poor health and no one would force him to do this. But now it’s no longer possible. Since his health has recovered, Gu Tingyu has to step in for such matters.

After all, he is the eldest son and the legitimate son, and he will inherit the title in the future, so he must attend such occasions.

Fortunately, there are not many relatives in the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion, most of them are just close colleagues.

However, even in this situation, it took Gu Tingyu several days to finish the task.

After all, in ancient times people really had to kowtow when wishing a happy new year, unlike modern times where it is just a formality and saying a few words is enough.

After coming back from outside, Gu Tingyu returned to his yard and sat down on a chair, leaning back a little tiredly.

Shuxiang saw that Gu Tingyu looked tired, so she quickly came over and helped him massage his neck.

"Yeah, it feels good. A little harder. Yes, that's it."

"My husband, are you exhausted?"

Shao Xueyan asked the maid to pour a cup of tea for Gu Tingyu and asked with concern.

"Yeah, yeah, this trip is really exhausting for me."

"Now that it's finally done, you don't have to go out tomorrow, right?"

"Not tomorrow. I have to go to the Sheng family tomorrow. I have to be polite when I am studying at someone else's house."

"Well, okay, I'll ask the servants to prepare the gifts."

Gu Tingyu nodded and didn't care about this matter. After all, all the gift exchanges these days were done by Shao Xueyan. There was really nothing wrong with it and she was much better than himself.

After dinner in the evening, Gu Tingyu was still driven to Shuxiang's room by Shao Xueyan. Her second child was about to be born, and Shuxiang was not pregnant yet, which was not a good thing.

So during this period, Gu Tingyu came here often.

Of course Gu Tingyu knew what she meant. This was how family inheritance was practiced in ancient times. Although it felt a bit strange, he couldn't help but sigh that it was really corrupt, but he liked it.

 …

The next day, Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye came to the Sheng family in a carriage with gifts.

Sheng Changbai had already been waiting at the door. After all, this kind of visit had already been notified, so it was considered a formal visit by handing in a visiting card.

It is different from studying in a private school as usual, and you need to inform the host family.

Sheng Changbai greeted the two of them to the front hall of the Sheng family, then excused himself and went out to greet Qi Heng.

After a while, Qi Heng and Sheng Changbai came back.

"Look at you guys. What are you doing here in such a cold weather? Zhuang Xuejiao is out having fun, so you don't need to come."

"Uncle, this is what we should do. After all, we have troubled the Sheng family for a year. Of course, we have to come and pay our respects today."

Gu Tingyu and the others smiled at each other and spoke politely to Sheng Hong.

"Haha, well, now that we're here, let's eat at home at noon."

"Uncle, then I'd better obey your command respectfully."

Several people agreed immediately and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

After that, several people started chatting. Sheng Hong liked calligraphy, and so did Qi Heng, so several people talked about calligraphy, and Sheng Changfeng was inevitably taught a lesson.

There's nothing I can do about it. His calligraphy is the worst here. If I don't say anything, who else can I blame?

Gu Tingyu received a lot of compliments. Although he was weak before and had not practiced calligraphy much, he has been practicing for several years since he came here.

It can be said that he made rapid progress. After he came to the Sheng family private school, his calligraphy was so good that even Zhuang Xuejiu was very envious.

People were chatting animatedly in the front hall, and the same scene was happening in the backyard. Today, Old Master Yu and his family came to visit, bringing along their eldest daughter, Yu Yanran.

Rulan and Molan's minds were not on the backyard. They would secretly look into the front hall from time to time, but saw nothing.

When Madam Wang saw this scene, she felt a little disappointed with Rulan. She glared at Rulan, but it was of no use.

Minglan did not have such a reaction. She got along well with Yu Yanran. The two of them were of similar age and had already become close friends.

"Madam, the master has invited guests to dine with him today. It's almost time to start the feast."

"Is that so? Let's start the meal then."

Old Lady Sheng knew that these people were from the Ningyuan Marquisate and the Duke of Qi, so she was not surprised and readily agreed.

"But the two from Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion and the one from Duke Qi?"

"Yeah, these kids too, why are they making this trip?"

Madam Wang said with some pride.

Everyone enjoyed the lunch very much. After the meal, they stayed for a while and then said goodbye and left.
