The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 87
88
After Lou Chenxiao left, Mi Congcong sat alone in the private room for a long time, Gu Yu went in twice, seeing her thinking about something, her expression was never before serious, although she was worried, she didn't dare to disturb her, and personally After serving tea and snacks, we went out.

When Mi Congcong came out, he had a relaxed expression on his face, Gu Yu felt relieved when he saw this.

He didn't know what difficulties his daughter had encountered, but the girl didn't tell him, so it was because of her consideration.

The next day was a rest day at Bitong Academy, and Mi Congcong went to Guo's Mansion.

Seeing Mi Congcong come to look for him in person, Guo Hongyuan was so happy that he almost flew up: "Congcong, I was thinking of going to the teahouse to look for you after breakfast."

Mi Congcong smiled: "I haven't had breakfast yet, why don't we go have porridge together?"

"Okay!" It was the first time that Congcong offered to ask himself out, and of course Guo Hongyuan would not refuse.

The two went to the porridge shop that Mrs. Guo liked when he was alive. Mi Congcong ordered a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, while Guo Hongyuan ordered a bowl of white porridge with two small dishes of pickled vegetables just like last time.

"Hong Yuan, how have you been studying recently?" Mi Congcong asked.

I haven't seen anyone from Guo Hongyuan for a while, and later I found out that I went to the academy. This foolishness has changed drastically, and Mi Congcong feels relieved for no reason.

"Congcong, can you not mention the matter of studying?" Guo Hongyuan looked at Mi Congcong pitifully with a bitter face.

Mi Congcong was suspicious: "What's wrong?"

"Congcong, you don't know that the headmaster and master of Bitong Academy seem to be deliberately assigning me a lot of homework every day. In addition to endorsement and homework, I have to hand in [-] big characters every day. be punished."

"Look, I've lost a lot of weight!" Guo Hongyuan patted his face to Mi Congcong: "I can't sleep every night before Haishi, and I have to get up as soon as Maoshi in the morning, and I can't even sleep. I can't sleep well, and I have to redo all the clothes I wore before."

The only thing that makes Guo Hongyuan feel worth it is that his father has a good face because of his hard work these days, and his attitude towards his mother is much better. There are more smiles on his face than before, which is why he is so strong.

Guo Hongyuan's painful expression made Mi Congcong laugh, but he still enlightened him: "The head of the mountain and the master have high hopes for you. You should not let the head of the mountain and the master down."

"Cong Cong, why do you say exactly the same thing as my mother?!" Guo Hongyuan said dumbfounded, "It's not my mother who asked you to persuade me?"

Mi Congcong was speechless, he is a big fool, he can't use his brain when he needs to use it, but he thinks a lot when he doesn't need to use his brain.

"Hong Yuan, are you engaged?" Mi Congcong asked earnestly after jumping the topic.

"It's fixed at the beginning of spring this year. It's a girl from Wanhua County." Guo Hongyuan said.

Wanhua County is next door to Feiyu County, and the girl is from a rich family in Huai County in the county seat, so she is related to the Guo family.

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Mi Congcong's eyes.

Because of Lou Chenxiao's words, she felt that there were too many uncertain factors in this world, so she gave up the idea of ​​punishing Zheng Shi and Zhong Jingmei first before retiring.

She was looking for Guo Hongyuan today because she thought that if Guo Hongyuan was not engaged yet, she would let him accompany her in a play and help her break off her engagement with Zhong Jingchao.

This dynasty is very tolerant of men, so she doesn't worry about the impact on Guo Hongyuan when acting with her, but he already has a marriage contract, so that's another matter, she doesn't want Guo Hongyuan's future wife to be jealous of Guo Hongyuan because of her own affairs Bad luck.

"I'm not engaged." The engagement with Zhong Jingchao was to be dissolved, so it could be said that he was not engaged.

Since he didn't intend to ask Guo Hongyuan to help him, Mi Congcong didn't tell the big fool that he was a daughter.

"Congcong, you are younger than me, so don't be sad if you haven't gotten married yet. I'll ask my mother to look out for you and see if there is any suitable girl?"

Mi Congcong was speechless, which eye of this idiot saw her sad?

"Hong Yuan, my family will talk about my marriage, so I won't bother Mrs. Guo." In order to prevent this stupid man from making trouble for himself, Mi Congcong had to speak clearly.

"Why don't you bother?" Mi Congcong said it so bluntly, but Guo Hongyuan still didn't hear it, and patted Mi Congcong's shoulder generously: "You are my good brother, I must Let my mother help you search for it."

Just as Mi Congcong was about to speak, Guo Hongyuan rushed to talk again: "Congcong, don't worry, my mother has good eyesight, and my mother has a wide social circle, so she can definitely find a good girl for you."

"Hongyuan, I don't doubt Mrs. Guo's vision, but my grandma seems to have fallen in love with a family. It's just that this matter has not been settled yet. Anyway, I am still young, so I take my time. You really don't have to worry about me." This stupid guy didn't understand, so Mi Congcong found an excuse helplessly.

Guo Hongyuan said "ah": "It turns out that there is already someone you like."

"Yes, eat quickly, I will bring something back to my master after eating."

Master came to the small courtyard of Gu's house in the middle of the night last night. I don't know if I woke up now?
After eating the porridge, Guo Hongyuan took Ade to the teahouse. Mi Congcong brought a bowl of porridge to Gu Ziang and Gu Tong. On the way back, he walked through an alley and bought a few at the small tofu stall at the entrance of the alley. block tofu.

Mi Congcong’s favorite in his previous life was tofu. The last time he tasted the tofu Gu Yu bought from this stall, Mi Congcong thought it was the best tofu she had ever eaten. Now she brings a few pieces home with her almost every day. , sometimes braised in soy sauce, sometimes garnished with some lean meat, sometimes boiled fish head soup, every time Mi Congcong ate up all the tofu made by Mi Congcong.

"Girl, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. As a teacher, I really confiscated the wrong apprentice this time!" Gu Tong said vaguely with his mouth full of vegetables.

Gu Yu glanced at Gu Tong, unable to understand the relationship between apprenticeship and cooking skills?
Mi Congcong knew his master's virtues, so he didn't have any idea, but seeing the little old man gobbling it up, Mi Congcong suddenly thought of something.

"Master, don't you know medical skills? Why don't you show it to Brother Ziang after dinner?" Mi Congcong would forget that his master knew medical skills because this little old man was so unreliable that he didn't even know how to be a teacher. He didn't fulfill his responsibilities, and I don't know if his medical skills are as good as ghost hunting?

These days, Gu Ziang's illness has not improved or worsened, and he has been hanging on medication. Uncle Gu has to take care of the teahouse during the day, and he has to come back in the morning and afternoon. It is really hard to serve Gu Ziang to drink water and go to the toilet.

Originally, Mi Congcong meant to ask someone to help take care of Gu Ziang, but Gu Yu was worried, and Mi Congcong couldn't say much.

"I have never treated anyone." Gu Tong replied while eating.
