Hu Xia didn't dare to stay any longer. He had already disturbed her by coming here unexpectedly. "Yes, I'll take my leave."
At this time, Ming Teng's voice came from outside the door. The boy didn't know who chased him away. He ran in like a gust of wind and was stunned when he saw it. "Grandpa, grandpa."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "You are not studying in the study, but running around the yard. Where are your rules?"
Ming Teng thought to himself that he had angered Ming Rui, so he ran away. When he saw the light in the hall, he ran over and said, "Grandpa, I was wrong."
Mingyun knew there was a guest, so he followed, "Grandpa."
Zhou Shuren glared at Ming Teng and said to Hu Xia, "My grandson is naughty. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Hu Xia didn't dare to go along with what he said. Lord Zhou's tone was pleasant, but he was not really angry. "The young master is just more lively."
Mingyun had already noticed Gu Liufeng, "Liufeng?"
Zhou Shuren asked, "Do you know each other?"
Mingyun said: "Yes, my grandson and Liufeng are both in Class A."
In the first test, Liu Feng was right ahead of him.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "What a coincidence."
Gu Liufeng was not surprised to see Mingyun. The backgrounds of Zhou Mingyun and others were no secret in the academy. In recent days, many students transferred to the academy, including the eldest and second grandsons of the Ningguo Duke.
Gu Liufeng said: "Mingyun."
Mingyun was not familiar with Gu Liufeng, mainly because he was always surrounded by people, all of whom were children of officials or aristocratic families. He wanted to make friends with Gu Liufeng, but he was not a student who knew nothing. He knew very well that if he got too close to Gu Liufeng, he would be excluded by Gu Liufeng.
Mingyun smiled and nodded, and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, this Mr. Gu is very knowledgeable. When there are things that I don't understand, Mr. Gu never hides his knowledge. I admire him very much."
Gu Liufeng's eyes moved slightly, and his heart felt slightly warm. He knew in his heart that he had only answered the questions for Zhou Mingyun once, and had only lent the paper he answered to Zhou Mingyun once.
What Zhou Mingyun said just now was also to help him. He must have guessed something after seeing the apology on the table.
Zhou Shuren looked at his grandson. His grandson was not a kind-hearted person. It was obvious that Gu Liufeng must have something that his eldest grandson admired. He reached out and touched his waist, feeling embarrassed. He liked to wear light clothes after returning home. He had untied the jade pendant and was not wearing anything around his waist.
Zhou Shuren looked at his grandson's waist, then looked away and looked at Ming Teng. This kid was noisy. He waved his hand, "Ming Teng, come here."
Ming Teng felt a chill on his back, "Grandpa."
Zhou Shuren waited for Ming Teng to come over, and neatly pulled off the jade pendant hanging from Ming Teng's waist. He smiled and waved to Gu Liufeng, "You and Ming Yun are classmates. This is your first visit. Here's the jade pendant as a gift."
Gu Liufeng was a little dazed. He really didn't know whether he should accept the gift. When he came to his senses, the jade pendant was already in his hand.
Mingyun curled his lips when he saw Liufeng looking at him. Fortunately, his grandfather didn't pull his jade pendant. Seeing his second brother's pale face, he thought to himself that it was right. He and Mingteng's jade pendants were birthday gifts from their fourth aunt. He and Mingteng liked them very much. For the stingy Mingteng, the blood loss today was a bit too much.
Lord Hu left Zhou's house in a daze and stood outside the gate of Zhou's house. "Did Lord Zhou give you a gift just now?"
Gu Liufeng smiled, "Yes."
The adults’ greeting gift this week was really unexpected.
Hu Xia looked at the jade pendant in his nephew's hand, took it and had a look. This jade pendant was not cheap. Well, how could something worn by the young master of the Zhou family be cheap? Everyone knows that the Ningguo Mansion donated a large sum of wealth to the Zhou Mansion, and the Zhou Mansion has a lot of money.
Hu Xia, "Are you in the same academy as Mr. Zhou's grandson, or in the same class?"
"yes."
Hu Xia felt that he had paid too little attention to his nephew and had overlooked such an important matter. He patted his nephew on the shoulder and said, "You should cherish the opportunity. Your uncle does not have your luck, but your uncle also wants to warn you not to be calculating or it will backfire. You must be sincere."
Lord Zhou is such a capable man, his grandson must be even better than him. He doesn't have a calculating brain, otherwise he wouldn't have been so busy working. I just hope my nephew can listen to me.
Gu Liufeng held the jade pendant tightly, "I will definitely remember it."
At Zhou's residence, Zhou Shuren sent Ming Teng away, leaving Ming Yun behind to ask, "You help me speak today. Grandpa won't stop you from interacting with Mr. Gu. He does have some good qualities that you can learn from him."
Mingyun frowned, "Grandpa, please tell your grandson."
Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "Observation and forbearance, these two points are what you need to learn."
Mingyun is a very smooth child. No, it should be said that with the arrival of him and Zhulan, all the grandchildren in the Zhou family are very smooth. It is good to have someone to learn from now.
Mingyun understood, "Grandson understands."
In the study, Ming Teng lay on the table sadly, "Wow, my jade pendant, my most beloved jade pendant is gone."
Mingrui calmed down and said while grinding: "It's what I deserve."
Ming Teng glared, "Are they still brothers?"
"no."
Ming Teng, "... ..."
In the main courtyard, Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren taking out a jade pendant and laughed, "I thought you wouldn't give it back to Mingteng!"
"This kid really needs a lesson. He is still not steady."
"Ming Teng's temperament is naturally like this. Ming Teng has changed a lot."
Zhou Shuren also knew that it was his natural temper, otherwise he would not have spared Ming Teng so easily. He handed the jade pendant to Zhulan and said, "Give it to him tomorrow morning."
Zhulan curled her eyes and said, "If you talk about grandchildren, Zhou Shuren values Mingyun because he is the eldest grandson, and he prefers Minghui because he looks like her. If you want to say who he really likes, Zhou Shuren likes Mingteng. This child is noisy, but his energy is the most attractive."
Zhulan took the jade pendant. This one was better than the one Mingteng wore, but not much better. Zhou Shuren still remembered to be fair.
Ning Xu was sitting in the courtyard of Ninghou Mansion. Seeing his son coming back, he waved his hand happily, "Come, finish this game of chess with me."
Rongchuan walked over and sat down. The chess game had come to a standstill. "Dad, you play chess by yourself?"
"Ah, it's a habit I developed a long time ago. Dad didn't like these things before, he was more excited about wielding swords and guns. Later, in order to see the overall situation, Dad slowly learned to play chess. Not to mention that he has some talent, he would play a game every day, day after day, and only then did he have the chess skills he has today."
Rongchuan felt that he worked very hard, but he was still far behind his father. "Dad, I admire you. I still need to learn more from you."
Ning Xu felt a little dizzy in his heart. He was teaching his son. He also had a son to teach. He grinned and said that Zhou Shuren had taught him before, and from now on, his son would be taught by him.
After a game of chess, Rong Chuan saw that his father was happy and said, "Dad, I don't want to get married this winter."
Ning Xu felt that the tea in his mouth tasted bad. Why did he change his mind after going to Zhou's house? "Why?"
Rong Chuan raised his head and said, "My son wants to give Xue Han the best. Xue Han is still young, so it doesn't matter if my son waits for another year."
Ning Xu felt bitter. His son always sided with the Yue family. "Are you sure?"
Rongchuan made up his mind at Zhou Mansion, "Yes, son, I'm sure.
