Chapter 669 Qi Heng's Thoughts

After the New Year, after resting at home for a few days, the Gu Tingyu brothers came to Sheng Mansion again to attend classes.

The day of the imperial examination is not far away, so Zhuang Xuejiu has been quite serious during this period.

That day, when Gu Tingyu and the other person arrived at the private school, Qi Heng had already arrived, but he was obviously in a daze and did not notice their arrival at all.

"Hey, Yuan Ruo, what are you thinking about? Why are you so focused?"

"Ah, uncle, I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just thinking about what Master Zhuang taught me. Yes, that's right."

Qi Heng was patted on the back by Gu Tingyu. He immediately retracted his gaze from looking at Minglan and looked nervous.

Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye looked at each other, their eyes full of amusement.

"Oh, our Yuan Ruo is so serious, I really didn't expect it."

"Haha, of course. Now that the imperial examination is about to begin, I am of course more serious."

Qi Heng's sophistry made Gu Tingyu laugh in his heart. He didn't expect that Qi Heng actually liked this.

That’s right, Gu Tingyu had already noticed Qi Heng’s abnormality just now. This kid kept staring at Minglan, and it was obvious that he still couldn’t escape the pattern of the original drama.

However, speaking of it, after the Chinese New Year, the three little girls of the Sheng family have really changed a lot. Molan has become more and more beautiful, and Ruolan's previously dull hair has now become black and shiny. It can be seen that they have taken good care of themselves.

However, the one who has changed the most is Minglan. This little girl is just eleven years old now. Her face was full of baby fat before, but now it is gone. Her pretty oval face looks much better.

However, usually, she would pretend to be stupid when she had nothing to do and smile foolishly from time to time. Unexpectedly, she attracted Qi Heng's attention.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingyu also carefully looked at his younger brother Gu Tingye, after all, he was Minglan's original wife.

After this observation, I found that this kid seemed to be a bit interesting. I had never noticed it before.

However, Gu Tingyu didn't have any ideas about such things. He really had no interest in the little Loli, so what would happen between the two of them in the future would depend on them.

After laughing and making noise for a while, Mr. Zhuang came over and the classroom immediately became quiet.

The morning classes ended quickly. In the afternoon, the three girls from the Sheng family did not come, and Qi Heng was obviously in a depressed state.

Gu Tingyu found it funny and shook his head silently.

After school in the evening, the three of them walked out of the Sheng family together. When Qi Heng was about to get in the car to go home, Gu Tingyu called him over.

"Yuan Ruo, come here for a moment. I have something to ask you."

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

When Qi Heng heard Gu Tingyu's words, he followed Gu Tingyu to the side without hesitation.

"Yuan Ruo, are you attracted to Ming Lan?"

"Ah, uncle, what are you talking about? How could I possibly like Minglan? Don't talk nonsense."

"Really?"

"Really, uncle, how can I lie to you?"

Qi Heng looked guilty, but he still tried to make excuses.

"Is that so? Okay, then I'm relieved and it won't make people worry too much."

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

When Qi Heng heard what Gu Tingyu said, he immediately became anxious and asked while pulling Gu Tingyu's arm.

As soon as he asked the question, he saw Gu Tingyu's expression as if to say, "You're lying to me." Qi Heng also knew that he had let the cat out of the bag.

"Uncle, I'm telling you the truth. Don't tell anyone, or you'll ruin their reputation."

"I knew that you have been acting strange these past few days. I really didn't expect that our young master would like this."

"Uncle, please stop teasing me. I don't know why, but..."

"Okay, I get it. However, I don't agree with your idea. You should be mentally prepared."

Gu Tingyu thought about the affairs of the Duke of Qi's family and shook his head helplessly.

There was no way. This was in ancient times, and the gap between family backgrounds was too huge. Moreover, Princess Pingning attached great importance to Qi Heng, so how could she let him marry a concubine's daughter from an ordinary civil servant's family?

Although after Wei Xiaoniang passed away, Old Lady Sheng took Minglan to her own courtyard and raised her, saying that she was a legitimate daughter, but everyone knew about this.

Even if she was a legitimate daughter, the Sheng family's status was not enough to reach the threshold of the Duke of Qi.

Gu Tingyu's thought only lasted for a moment. After hearing his thoughts, Qi Heng became a little anxious.

"Uncle, don't scare me. I am really sincere to Minglan."

"Yuan Ruo, I know. I'm not doubting your thoughts. The problem is, what is the situation in your family? Minglan is just a girl from the Sheng family after all."

"I don't care about these things, I just want to have someone I love."

"Haha, it's easy for you to say. Princess Pingning values ​​you so much, how could she let you marry just any woman? She will definitely find you a woman of equal status, which will be good for your future."

Gu Tingyu's words made Qi Heng speechless for a moment. He knew his mother's temper, and what Gu Tingyu said was right.

But Qi Heng was an ambitious young man after all, and he still felt a little disdainful of asking a wealthy lady to help him.

"I don't care. As a man, I can get fame, wealth and honor myself."

"It's useless for you to tell me this. Princess Pingning won't care about this. She only knows that it's the best for you and the Duke of Qi's Mansion."

Gu Tingyu shook his head, but the words that came out of his mouth were extremely cold.

Gu Tingyu looked at Qi Heng who looked a little discouraged, patted his shoulder comfortingly, and pushed him back to the carriage.

Afterwards, the two carriages slowly left the Sheng family.

Qi Heng sat in the carriage, thinking about what had just happened. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Gu Tingyu was right, and he didn't know what to do.

However, Qi Heng is still a young man after all, so he wants to try hard for his love.

So in the evening, when the family was having dinner, Qi Heng tried to test Princess Pingning's attitude indirectly.

The result was really not ideal, and Qi Heng returned to his room feeling a little depressed.

Princess Pingning was in charge of a large family like the Duke of Qi, and she grew up in the palace. She was very smart and had long noticed the abnormality of her son.

He directly asked someone to call Buwei, the servant beside Qi Heng, over.

"Buwei, how is Heng'er's study in Sheng Mansion recently?"

"Madam, the young master has been doing very well in his studies recently, and Master Zhuang has praised him a lot."

"Oh, so what do you think of the girls from the Sheng family?"

"Ma'am, I don't know about that."

Buwei was conflicted for a moment but didn't say anything. As a personal servant, he certainly knew about Qi Heng's affairs, but he still chose to hide it.

Princess Pingning had seen through all of this a long time ago, but she was not angry. Instead, she felt that Buwei did a good job. After all, he was Qi Heng's servant. If he told her everything when she asked him, she would really be angry.
