"Late last night? Didn't you come back from Han's house early? " Mrs. Gu asked the servant in confusion.

The servant reported truthfully, "after the second young master came back from Han's house, he went out again soon, and came back very late. When he came back, he seemed to be in a bad mood, so he asked the servant to prepare food and wine, but he didn't let people wait on him."

Mrs. Gu frowned, "he's out of the house?"

The servant shook his head: "I don't know."

Mrs. Gu immediately sent someone to do something: "you go to ask the porter if the second young master was out of the house last night. Do you know where the second young master went?"

"Yes, madam."

"Don't go!" Gu Heng wakes up and shouts, "I didn't go out of the house."

Mrs. Gu quickly motioned to the servants to stop, so that they didn't have to check. But looking at Gu Heng, she seemed to have something to hide, so she waved, "you all go down first."

"Yes, madam."

After everyone left, Dr. Gu sat down, stared at Gu Heng tightly, frowned and asked, "ah Heng, what's the matter with you? It's obviously a good thing to go back to Beijing this time. Why do I always look down on you? "

Gu Heng shook his head, "no!"

"Not yet? What on earth are you hiding from me? There's nothing to worry about, so why do you want to drink alone? " Mrs. Gu was worried. "Look at what you look like now. It's like someone who has just been promoted with high spirits."

"Mother, promotion is a good thing, but there's no need to be complacent. My mother knows what I am Gu Heng rubbed his painful forehead with his hands.

I drank too much wine last night. That bowl of sobering tea didn't work at all. Now it's more painful.

Mrs. Gu got up, stood behind him, reached out and rubbed his forehead to relieve his hangover headache.

"Do you know the pain now? You said that you were not unhappy or particularly happy, so why drink so much wine?

All right, all right! I don't ask!

But, I'm your mother, and I care about you, right? "

Gu Heng said apologetically: "mother, I'm sorry! It worries you. "

"Just know I'm worried about you. In the future, don't drink so much wine. If there's anything you can tell your mother, it's not convenient to tell your mother. You can also tell your father or your elder brother.

Don't you two brothers always have a good relationship?

How can I find that you are not so close after I come back this time? "

Mrs. Gu didn't feel nothing at all. She soon realized the delicate relationship between her two sons.

Gu Heng pursed his lips and laughed, "Niang, you think too much. My elder brother and I are very good."

"Is it really OK?" Gu asked.

Gu Heng nodded, "really. Mother, why don't you believe me? "

"I don't believe you, just feel..."

"Niang, I don't feel right sometimes." Gu Heng sighed in his heart.

Mrs. Gu doesn't want to worry about it. If the child says it's OK, she believes it's OK. No mother wants to see her child's discord in this world.

"My son was in the limelight at the party yesterday."

"Mother, what do you mean?"

Dr. Gu released his hand and walked out from behind him. He was opposite him. He didn't know what he thought of. He could not help but covered his mouth and laughed. He said with pride: "at the banquet yesterday, all the outstanding girls from the famous families in the capital favored me. Your mother and I were too busy chatting with these people yesterday.

Ah Heng, you are not young. Your elder brother has been married for so long. It's time for you to put marriage first.

Now that you are in this position, you are young and promising. If you don't find someone you like, I'm afraid the emperor will order you to get married. You don't even have a reason to refuse. Isn't that even more unsatisfactory?

Ah Heng, my mother and your father have thought about it. If you want to be free in this marriage, you have to take the initiative and stop procrastinating. If you continue to procrastinate, you will have no freedom in this respect. "

Gu Heng pretended to smile easily, "Niang, you think too much, how can the emperor give me marriage? What's more, my marriage is not shopping. It's just a choice.

Mother, I have a sense of propriety. I'll think about it.

You, just worry about my elder brother and see when my elder sister-in-law will give you a fat grandson. "

Mrs. Gu said dissatisfied: "I knew you would refuse like this. I don't care. Your marriage must be settled as soon as possible when you return to Beijing this time. I saw a lot of girls yesterday, Chu Ling is good, the first lady of the Lin family is also good, and the second miss of the Huang family. I think it's excellent to choose one of the three girls

Chu Ling?

Gu Heng immediately thought of Zhang Qiao's reminder.

"Mother, don't worry. I really I don't think about it yet. "

"First lady, second young master, first young master asked people to ask second young master to have a talk in the courtyard." The servants came in to report.Gu Heng immediately got up and said, "go and answer. I'll be there later."

"Yes, second son."

Gu Heng lowered his head and smelled the wine on his body. "Niang, you go back first. I'll take a bath. It's not convenient for me to go to my elder brother."

Mrs. Gu was worried that their brotherhood would fade. Hearing that he wanted to go to Guyu courtyard, she immediately nodded, "OK! You take a bath, you clean it up, and then you go

"Well, mother, go back to rest first."

"Well, I have to go to the old lady again. I helped Han's family yesterday, and I have to tell her." Mrs. Gu got up and left for Mrs. Gu's courtyard.

Gu Heng let people carry hot water, after bathing and changing clothes, this just came to Gu Yu's yard slowly.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Chu Yue sitting with several girls dressed in their houses. Gu you was also there. When they saw him coming in, they immediately got up and saluted.

That bashful appearance, let Gu Heng a head two big, in a hurry to say hello, immediately go to Gu Yu.

"Big brother, who are these people?"

"Nothing! Those are your sister-in-law's sisters Please take a seat, Mr. Gu

"Good!" Outside is the girl of Chu family. Gu Heng can't help but think of Zhang Qiao's reminder. At this time, looking at the tea in the cup, he can't drink it.

"Second brother, drink tea."

"Good!" Gu Heng felt the small porcelain bottle in his arms, which relieved him a little. He picked up the tea, sipped it lightly, and then put it down, "brother, what's the matter with you coming to me today?"

"Nothing. I just want to have tea with you and have a chat!"

"All right."

Gu Yu looked out, Gu Heng also turned to see, see Chu Yue Dynasty inside, in the heart and not from a thump. What's the meaning of this?

Gu Yu asked: "your sister-in-law has been very concerned about you!"
