Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

On the day of returning home, Xu Chengyu had just sat down in the main hall when he saw a young servant coming forward to report: "Master, Miss and Uncle have already arrived outside the door."

"Oh? So early?" Xu Chengyu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and said quickly, "Let them in quickly."

However, as soon as the words fell, before the servant had time to go out to invite him, Gu Yunji's voice came from outside: "Teacher, we are back!"

Gu Yunji was very familiar with Xu's residence, and after calling out from a distance, he walked into the main hall with ease, not treating himself as an outsider at all.If he hadn't cared about Xu Shuhua who was following behind, he would have jumped in the door impatiently.

Seeing his rare lively appearance, Xu Chengyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I also said that you have become more stable in recent years. I didn't expect that you not only failed to improve after becoming a relative, but actually went back. Are you going to accompany Shuhua back home today, or Shuhua accompanied you back to the door? Why do I think you look happier than her?"

Gu Yunji found a seat by himself and sat down, his mouth was as sweet as honey: "Shuhua's home is my home, of course I'm happy to go back to my home. Besides, I haven't seen the teacher for several days, I think You think so hard, and I want to see you sooner."

Although the Gu family are all relatives of Gu Yunji, there are a lot of rules, which make him uncomfortable.On the contrary, Xu Chengyu is free and unrestrained here, which makes him feel more relaxed.When Gu Yunji was in a good mood, his mouth became sweet, and Xu Chengyu laughed heartily with a few words.

Xu Chengyu laughed and scolded: "Slick tongue! You are getting more and more slick now, where did you learn this?"

Afterwards, he seemed to think of something again, and said narrowly, "Speaking of which, you still called me father-in-law when you came to greet your relatives that day, why did you become a teacher again today?"

Gu Yunji rubbed his head embarrassingly: "It's mainly called fluently. I think the title father-in-law is too solemn and suitable for use in formal occasions. Now it's only our own family. It's better to call the teacher closer to nature."

He paused, with a sly look in his eyes: "Of course, if you like to hear me call you father-in-law, it's not impossible."

Saying that, Gu Yunji stood up, pretended to pay respects to Xu Chengyu, and deliberately raised his voice: "Father-in-law, this is a homecoming gift brought by my son-in-law, please accept it!"

Xu Chengyu felt awkward when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, forget it, you should call the teacher, one by one father-in-law, it sounds weird."

Hearing this, both Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua couldn't hold back, they both burst out laughing.

After a brief exchange of greetings with Gu Yunji, Xu Chengyu then turned his attention to Xu Shuhua, looked at her carefully from head to toe, and asked, "How are you doing these few days? Are you still getting used to it? Has Gu Yunji bullied her?" You? If so, tell me, and I will break his leg!"

Xu Shuhua smiled helplessly: "Daddy, I'm doing well. Yun Ji treated me very considerately and didn't bully me. Don't you know the apprentice you taught yourself?"

That's the case, but Xu Chengyu is a parent after all, and caring for his children is naturally the first priority.Seeing that Xu Shuhua's complexion was ruddy and he looked quite good, and he really didn't look like he had been wronged, he was completely relieved.

A while later, Xu Shujing and his wife Liu Shi also came to the front hall. They talked and laughed like this until noon before they went to eat together.

During the banquet, Xu Chengyu took out his treasured Qiu Lubai again, and when Gu Yunji saw this wine, he remembered his embarrassment when he was drunk last time, and couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive: "Teacher, do you want to drink such an intoxicating wine at noon? Later, I'm afraid I'll get drunk after not eating two bites of the food."

Xu Shuhua also persuaded: "Yes, Dad, it's rare for us to get together today, why don't we have a milder wine? This way we can chat while drinking, and have a good meal."

But Xu Chengyu said: "I just want to take advantage of you all here, otherwise I won't drink. I'm leaving in two days, so let me have a good time today."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed: "Let's go? Where are you going?"

"Naturally, I want to go back to Luxi Academy." Xu Chengyu poured himself a glass of wine, and said unhurriedly, "I should have left after the palace examination. In order to see you two get married, this dragged on until today. Now Shuhua The important thing in my life is over, and it's time for me to go back."

Gu Yunji didn't expect it, and suddenly panicked: "...Teacher, you are alone, what are you doing when you go back? Why don't you resign from the post of mountain chief and stay in the capital to accompany us."

Xu Shuhua grew up with Xu Chengyu since he was a child, and when he thought of leaving him, a strong reluctance surged in his heart: "Father, you are so old, it was better if I was with you in the past. Now you There is only one person, the capital is far away from Hangzhou, what if there is an accident on the way?"

Xu Shujing also echoed, "Father, since you became an official, you have been teaching at Luxi Academy for eight or nine years. It should be enough. Now that Shuhua and I have married and started a business, you should rest , stay in the capital to enjoy the rest of your life."

Facing everyone's dissuasion, Xu Chengyu remained unmoved and insisted: "It is because you and Shuhua have already married and established a business that I can leave with peace of mind. Teaching and educating people is a century-old foundation. I, Xu Chengyu, have lived most of my life. This old bone can still move, let's make a little bit of light."

Whenever Xu Chengyu made up his mind, no one could persuade him.Xu Shuhua had no choice but to take a step back: "If you really want to leave, that's fine, but at least stay a little longer, right? I just got married, why don't you leave the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival is over?"

Xu Chengyu shook his head: "No, it's too late for me to go back. The academy has been supported by Chen He for the past few months. If it drags on, the academy will be in chaos."

Originally they were happily going back home for a reunion, but when they suddenly heard the news, everyone felt heavy for a moment, and even lost their appetite for dinner.

Seeing this, Xu Chengyu raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing so dejectedly? I'm going to teach, and it's not like I'm gone forever. From now on, every holiday, I still have to go back to the capital. What's more, Luxi Academy will be closed for three years. Once closed to the hospital, it lasts for more than half a year, isn't that enough for us to meet?"

"Besides, I'm leaving Beijing in two days. This is the last reunion dinner before I leave. Do you want to have a bad time?"

These words were very effective, everyone raised their heads immediately, and forced themselves to look relaxed and happy.Gu Yunji took the initiative to pour himself a glass of wine, held it up to Xu Chengyu and said, "Teacher, I respect you."

"Okay." Xu Chengyu clinked glasses with him immediately, and then drank it down.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Chengyu couldn't help being aroused by the sadness of parting, and sighed sadly: "Yunji, you are my closed disciple. I will lead you to the imperial examination and watch your high school gold list. But the road ahead You have to go by yourself, the teacher can't help you."

Gu Yunji's heart was full of soreness, and he endured the astringency in his eyes and said: "Teacher, what are you talking about? You have taught me enough, and I can walk the rest of the way by myself. No matter where you go in the future or what position you are in, you They are all my lifelong teachers..."

As he was talking, Gu Yunji felt that his throat was blocked and he couldn't continue, so he simply filled the glass with wine and said loudly: "In short, I will definitely live up to your expectations and add luster to the sect. Just wait and see!"

Xu Chengyu laughed loudly: "Okay! I'm waiting for that day!"

After a 'ding' sound, the two raised their glasses to each other and drank it all in one gulp.
