Gu Chengyi knew that Jing Yan was really not joking, but...
Jing Yan laughed loudly: "Chengyi, you are really serious. Brother Jing Yan is just teasing you."
"Grandpa, don't worry. Sister Qiancheng promised that she will think it over carefully." Gu Chengyi lied with his eyes open, not feeling guilty at all.
"No poison, no husband." Jing Yan's voice seemed to have magic power. Gu Chengyi's eyes were confused for a moment, but he soon regained his clarity and said firmly: "Thank you, brother Jing Yan, for your teaching. There are things a man should do and things he should not do." , I won’t do anything that makes my conscience uncomfortable.”
"It's easy to delay this for a year or two." Jing Yan said nonchalantly, but Gu Chengyi's eyes lit up: "What can I do?"
Okay, he admitted that he didn't like his uncle and aunt, but he never thought about killing them!
"It's illegal to kill someone. How could Brother Jing Yan teach you to do illegal things?" Jing Yan walked around the desk, walked up to Gu Chengyi, and bowed solemnly to Gu Chengyi: "Chengyi, I just wanted to test you. There is no malice, I just want to know if you are someone who will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals."
After bidding farewell to the old man, Gu Chengyi embarked on his way back. There were no outsiders on the carriage, so Gu Chengyi stopped pretending. His pretty little face was tense, and there seemed to be anger boiling in his eyes...
The old man nodded with satisfaction: "Chengyi, please give your sister some advice when you have time. Grandpa is also doing your sister a favor. Your sister is already sixteen and will be a big girl in two years." At that time, the Yan family was not as good as of marriage.
"I knew that Brother Jing Yan was not that kind of person." Gu Chengyi responded calmly, but he didn't believe it in his heart...
He could see clearly that Brother Jing Yan was definitely serious just now.
Brother Jing Yan really gave him some advice just now.
after…
"Brother Jing Yan, I can't do it." Reality killed his innocence, but it didn't mean that he could kill without blinking an eye.
Among the people he knew, apart from Sister Qiancheng, the smartest one was Jing Yan. If Jing Yan couldn't do anything, who else could he turn to for help
"I'm serious too." Jing Yan looked at Gu Chengyi with a serious face, without a trace of smile in his eyes...
After Gu Chengyi left, Jing Yan's personal servant looked puzzled. Seeing that Jing Yan was in a good mood, he boldly asked: "Sir, aren't you afraid that Master Chengyi will hate you because of this and become friends with you?"
"Brother Jing Yan." Gu Chengyi saluted respectfully, his tone still modest, but Gu Chengyi was taught by Jing Yan, how could Jing Yan not know that something was wrong with him.
Jing Yan's teachings are indeed useful. Gu Chengyi has really grown up. He is no longer the stupid kid who has everything written on his face.
To be able to say such things, Brother Jing Yan must be a "non-conformist" person, right
In the past, although Gu Chengyi was good at studying, he could only study hard. Now he finally knows how to deal with the people around him.
Gu Chengyi couldn't hear what the gentleman said, but he knew that his popularity in the academy had become better recently, and the gentlemen were more willing to give him convenience, so he knew that what he was doing was right...
"Prevent your sister from getting married?" Jing Yan asked back, and Gu Chengyi nodded repeatedly: "Either keep stopping it, or don't let sister Qiancheng get married now. With the current situation of the Gu family, unless sister Qiancheng marries a merchant, she will not marry. I can’t be stubborn when joining anyone’s family, I want Sister Qiancheng to slow down, at least... at least wait until Cheng Huan has established a foothold in the army, and wait until I pass the examination as a scholar."
Jing Yan put down his hand and looked up at Gu Chengyi: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy after going home?"
"After this child went through that incident, I thought he would become more introverted, but unexpectedly he became optimistic and outgoing." Several gentlemen became more and more optimistic about Gu Chengyi.
Except for academic matters, just ask Sister Qiancheng for everything else.
Picking up the book, Jing Yan found that he couldn't read a word...
"Marry someone?" Jing Yan was really stunned, but thinking about the news from his subordinates, he vaguely understood who the candidate for the old man of the Gu family was.
Gu Chengyi originally didn't want to end too early, but the current situation did not allow him to delay. His sister Qiancheng did not have a strong natal family, so she could no longer live without capable brothers.
"What are you afraid of?" Jing Yan curled his lips and smiled, turned around and sat down at the desk: "The fish has been hooked, do I still care what the bait thinks?"
After Gu Chengyi finished speaking, he bowed to Jing Yan and said, "Brother Jing Yan, it's getting late. I don't want to disturb Brother Jing Yan's review of the book. Please leave first."
In order for Sister Qiancheng to marry later, their Gu family will continue to die
Gu Chengyi did not go back to his room, but came directly to Jing Yan.
Jing Yan was serious, but Gu Chengyi only thought he was joking and said with a weak look: "Brother Jing Yan, I'm serious..." Stop joking, okay
"Brother Jing Yan, do you have any good way to stop the old man from letting Sister Qiancheng get married?" Gu Chengyi raised his head and looked at Jing Yan.
This kind of Gu Chengyi cannot be seen by others, because when he gets off the carriage, he is the shy and weak student again, with a humble smile on his face at all times. When he meets his teacher or classmates, he will stop and say hello, his attitude is modest and polite, which makes him It’s impossible not to like…
Jing Yan knew very well how much Gu Chengyi cared about Gu Qiancheng, and he also knew what kind of character the people he taught were like. He knew without asking that Gu Chengyi would not persuade him.
If it's really a temptation, it's nothing, it's just...
Gu Chengyi was not a fool. He knew very well that he could not convince the old man. When he saw the old man, he just told him. He followed the old man's words and persuaded Gu Qiancheng.
Gu Qiancheng, I think we will meet again soon!
"Keep filial piety." Jing Yan spat out these two words, ignoring Gu Chengyi's shocked eyes, and continued: "My parents stayed for three years, and my grandfather and grandmother stayed for one year. How many years later do you want your sister Qiancheng to get married?"
Despite Jing Yan's apology and explanation, Gu Chengyi still had doubts in his heart. Jing Yan was such a smart person. He could see clearly. He had hundreds of ways to eliminate Gu Chengyi's suspicion, but Jing Yan didn't do that. …
"The old man didn't say anything. He only asked me to persuade Sister Qiancheng to agree." Gu Chengyi said dullly. Jing Yan said "oh" and stopped talking...
Jing Yan's status in his heart was now second only to Gu Qiancheng's. When he encountered a problem, Gu Chengyi would subconsciously come to Jing Yan for help.
Gu Chengyi was still polite and courteous, but he knew that maybe this was the last time he would come to Jing Yan alone. He was not a child who didn't know right from wrong...
"Chengyi, I know it's wrong to do this. I'm here to apologize to you." After Jing Yan finished speaking, he saluted solemnly. Gu Chengyi quickly waved his hand: "Brother Jing Yan said something serious, I, I'm fine..."
However, he understood clearly in his heart, so Jing Yan still asked: "Who are you marrying?"
"Sister will definitely understand my grandfather's intentions." Gu Chengyi's face was touched, but his eyes were as calm as deep water, without a single ripple...
Gu Chengyi didn't hide anything and said bluntly: "Brother Jing Yan, the old man wants Sister Qiancheng to get married."
Gu Chengyi still felt a knot in his heart.
