Chapter 617 Unconvinced
Duan Yu nodded to Yuejia, then went straight over her and came directly to Duan Qingming's side to sit down. Duan Yu's face was a little haggard and ugly. As soon as he sat down, he looked at Duan Qingming sullenly. His eyes were like a child who couldn't eat sugar.
Duan Qingming was drinking tea. She held white bone porcelain between her fingers, and her fingertips were almost transparent, almost the same color as the cup body. Seeing Duan Yu coming, she put down the teacup in her hand and smiled, "Why did Yuer come here?"
Duan Yu flattened his mouth and said, "My sister doesn't seem to welcome me..."
Duan Qingming raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you say?"
Duan Yu said, "My sister let Yuer rest for a long time in three days and is not allowed to leave the house. This is not a disguised house arrest, but afraid that I will come to bother you. This is not unwelcome, but what?"
Although among modern office workers, there is only one day to rest in a week, Duan Qingming asked him to rest for three days, which is quite a lot. However, after crossing, Duan Yu was used to living a free life. He was suddenly trapped, and he was really not used to it.
Duan Qingming smiled and said, "I don't know if Yuer has heard a sentence?"
Duan Yu took a sip of tea, put it down, and casually asked, "I don't know what it is?"
Duan Qingming said, "The sharpness of the knife, the rock of sharpening, the growth of people, immersed in learning?"
Duan Yu said without raising his head, "The problem is that everyone knows the truth, but if you really want to do it, it's not easy."
Duan Qingming smiled and said, "Yo, Yuer, is this because I'm too strict with you?"
However, a few-year-old children made such a promise in order not to worry those who like him, so Duan Yu has done his best.
Duan Yu said sullenly, "I can't be surprised, but I'm a little unconvinced."
Duan Qingming looked at Duan Yu's awkward appearance and smiled, "Why don't we push this post-autumn appointment?"
Duan Yu suddenly stood up from the chair and exclaimed, "How could my sister say such a thing?"
Duan Qingming spread out his hands and said, "You think it's hard. It happens that I feel sad when I look at you, so why don't you just push it? In this way, you don't have to work hard and complain. I'm also happy, okay?"
Duan Yu blushed and said, "No, it's not good at all."
Duan Qingming smiled. She took Duan Yu's hand and said, "Okay, Yuer, although I'm working hard for Ninglan now, in the final analysis, I'm also working hard for you... Think about it, how much have you benefited from studying during this period?"
Duan Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Now, when I start learning, I feel much more convenient."
Duan Qingming said, "Isn't that all right? Man, if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must have a foothold. People often say that men have aspirations and bow their heads in all directions.
Duan Yu waved his hand to Duan Qingming and said begging for mercy, "Well, sister, don't talk about such a big truth. I read more than you every day."
Duan Qingming smiled and led Duan Yu out.
Duan Yuqi said, "Sister, where are you going to take me?"
Duan Qingming smiled and said, "I'm going to take you out for a walk. Is this period of time really stuffing you?"
Duan Yu heard this, stroked his palm and smiled and said, "Then, can't we go out for a good meal?"
Duan Qingming said anxiously, "Listen to what you said, it seems that our house is starving for you."
Duan Yu shook his head and said, "That's not what I mean, but you know that children like to be greedy. They are used to eating at home and always want to eat something outside."
Duan Qingming smiled and didn't say anything.
When the two walked out of the courtyard, Duan Yu suddenly asked, "Yes, sister, you told me the other day that I don't have to take care of these things. You have arranged all of them. Now, how are things going?"
Duan Qingming said, "Is there nothing now? The rumors have subsided, and things have gradually calmed down. There is no movement in Xue's house. It seems that you are waiting for you to try hard.
Duan Yu said worriedly, "But, sister, I'm still a little worried... You know people like Xue Yongqiang..."
Duan Qingming reminded, "Yuer, you should call Uncle Xue."
Duan Qingming once taught Duan Yu, which respects Xue Yongqiang and Ninglan. Therefore, she wants Duan Yu to no longer call Xue Yongqiang's name directly under any circumstances, but to be commensurate with her uncle.
Duan Yu said, "Well, Uncle Xue's kind of person was forced by me to submit this time. I'm really afraid that he will come up with some crooked idea to stop me and Ninglan."
Duan Qingming said, "Don't forget Yuer. Uncle Xue's most important thing is the face of Xue's family and his own decentness. This matter has been well known to everyone. What about this first? If he wants to hide it, what about the second one? If he wants to go back on his word, there is no way to go back on his word, because isn't this token already in your hand?
Duan Yu said unhung unhungryly, "Sister, don't talk about that token... I also said that Uncle Xue really wanted to entrust Ninglan to me, but unexpectedly, I checked the book and found that it was actually used to break off diplomatic relations."
In the ancient book, there is a passage that gives it a ring, promises it, gives it to a knife, and breaks it with a front.
That is to say, if it is given to each other, it usually represents an intersection, a promise, and a marriage contract. Because the ring is like a bright moon, which represents perfection and happiness.
And this jade knife is used to cut off, proving that the two no longer intersect.
Now, Xue Yong forced Duan Yu to be a matchmaker, but he gave him a knife. The implication can be said to be self-evident. He just agreed to Duan Yu's marriage because of the situation. In his heart, he did not regard Duan Yu as the same thing at all.
Duan Qingming smiled and said, "Don't worry about this reputation. Uncle Xue dares to give you a token, and we dare to take this token to ask for marriage, and it also makes Uncle Xue speechless and can't say anything!"
After a slight pause, Duan Qingming said, "In a word, Yuer, remember that the urgency of the problem now is not what Uncle Xue gave you, but how you can do it - now, you just need to work hard and leave everything else to your sister."
Duan Yu listened and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister."
Two people walked all the way, talking, and then gradually became farther and farther away.
What they didn't expect was that when they left, a figure flashed in another corner of the room. The figure stood behind the tree and looked at Duan Qingming and Duan Yu from afar. A beautiful little face couldn't help but sneer.
Look at that figure, it was Duan Yulan. In the past few days, she has given a lot of benefits to her servants and wanted to find out about Duan Qingming's various things. However, Duan Qingming seems to be on guard. Not only can no one in her yard and hear any news, but also those who have taken Duan Yulan's benefits before, He also began to dodge, and it seemed that he was no longer willing to ask for any news for Duan Yulan.
Duan Yulan was angry, but there was nothing she could do. In desperation, she decided to go out in person to find out what Duan Qingming was doing recently. Now, she finally understood that Duan Qingming was not idle. No, she actually had the idea of Xue Fu.
Duan Yulan slowly clenched her hand, and she also asked why Duan Yu suddenly worked hard? But it turns out that he is working hard for this year's Qiuwei, and the root of this effort is for Xue Ninglan?
In other words, is Xue Ninglan the whole driving force of Duan Yu's efforts? If the meaning of this sentence is reversed, can it be understood that if there is no Xue Ninglan, then Duan Yu will not work hard?
You should know that Duan Yu is the eldest son in the house. In the future, everything in this house will be his. This is already a threat to Duan Yulan, who is eager to change her identity. So, if Duan Yu wins fame again through unremitting efforts and marries the direct daughter of Xuefu, the head of the Qingliu family, then it can be said that he is like adding wings, and there is no way to defeat him.
