Chapter 153 He’s bound to win!
Gu Yu was used to the specific process of coming to the capital for Lunar New Year every year.
Compared to his time in Yang Family Village, Lian Town, where he had to do everything himself for Lunar New Year, now in the capital, he could forgo the tedious details and just enjoy the fruits of others’ labor.
Watching the maids and servants in the mansion bustle about, Gu Yu silently cheered them on. Afterwards, he returned to his room and quietly lay on the bed, acting the part of a handsome man, continuously flipping through the medical scriptures he had long since memorized.
With his space unable to be upgraded, the medical scriptures couldn’t be updated either. Fortunately, they were enough for now!
However, it wouldn’t be long before an upgrade.
Next year, he could naturally… hehe…
While Gu Yu was earnestly looking at the medical scriptures, his mind was wandering to inappropriate thoughts. This caused a slight flush to appear on his face and his eyes to turn slightly red. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he was quite captivating.
And when Gu Mengyao wanted to go back to her room to get something, she had just walked to the outer room. Peeking through the slightly ajar door, she saw Gu Yu in this state.
Her expression froze slightly. Gu Mengyao’s steps suddenly became heavy, unable to take another step forward.
Her little husband was just too alluring!
It was one thing for him to be alluring; after all, he was hers, and if he were to be alluring, he could only be alluring to her.
But…
Just being able to look but not “eat” left Gu Mengyao very helpless.
Thinking back to the past, when Gu Yu played the “game” of “the eagle catches the chick” with her, he showed no intention of yielding, which was enough to prove his determination was very firm!
Sometimes, Gu Mengyao thought about directly using force to force Gu Yu.
As long as the raw rice was cooked, it would be done, even if Gu Yu was unwilling.
Thinking of this, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but shake her head. She always felt that their roles had been reversed, and she had become the local tyrant who wanted to force a young, innocent man…
Facing the very alluring Gu Yu, Gu Mengyao did not enter the room to get her things. Instead, she shook her head and left.
She silently recited a calming mantra, suppressing the fire in her heart… otherwise, she would have really gone in and pounced on her little husband!
…
“Brother-in-law, no offense, but lying in your room every day, aren’t you too much of a homebody!”
“It’s almost Lunar New Year. If you don’t stay at home, do you want to go to heaven!”
“Going to heaven is not that bad, but I want to join the Alliance’s intelligence department, woohoo, brother-in-law, please help me talk to them and see if I can join now!”
“…”
Just as Gu Yu was about to lie back comfortably, trouble always came very suddenly.
At this moment, looking at Gu Qingheng, this big trouble, Gu Yu didn’t know what to say…
This younger brother-in-law of his was too obsessed with gossip!
It was almost Lunar New Year. What department was he going to join? He should obediently stay at home!
“Brother-in-law, if you hadn’t caused a scene at the gambling house, I would still be there gathering gossip.”
And when Gu Qingheng saw the expression on Gu Yu’s face, he could guess what Gu Yu was thinking.
To this, he pouted dejectedly, remembering the good times of gathering information, and truly missed them now!
But now, he could only stay at home and do nothing…
“Have you finished your books? You’re participating in the imperial examination next year. What gossip are you still gathering? Go and study obediently.”
“I’ve already finished them.”
“All of them?”
“Yes, except for some personal rare collections, I’ve read most of them. No matter what book you mention, brother-in-law, I can fluently recite its contents.”
Afterwards, upon hearing Gu Yu shift the topic to studying, Gu Qingheng immediately replied.
His words were full of pride.
This made Gu Yu raise his eyebrows, thinking that his younger brother-in-law was amazing… However, whether a horse was good or not could only be known by taking it out for a ride.
Therefore, it was his turn to ask questions.
“Since that’s the case, then I…”
“Wait, brother-in-law, it’s no fun just like this. Let’s make a bet! If I can answer the question you ask, then send me to the Alliance’s intelligence department.”
Then, before Gu Yu could finish speaking, Gu Qingheng immediately interrupted.
Gu Yu did not object to this. Instead, he thought that his younger brother-in-law was full of confidence this time!
He even wanted to make a bet with him.
“What if you can’t answer?”
To this, Gu Yu did not worry too much. Instead, he asked with interest.
Betting.
He liked it very much.
Especially betting with others.
Even more so when it was a sure win. Gu Yu was very good at it.
“If I lose, then I won’t mention joining the Alliance’s intelligence department again!”
“Tsk tsk, this bet is a bit unequal… How about this, if you lose, you have to stay honestly in the Gu Residence for half a month and not go anywhere! If you violate the bet, then the wedding time between you and Tang Lian will be extended.”
“…”
Hearing the bet Gu Qingheng proposed, Gu Yu directly shook his head, indicating that he was at a disadvantage.
After hearing Gu Yu’s additional conditions, Gu Qingheng’s expression froze, and then he did not immediately agree, but began to hesitate!
Not being able to leave home for half a month, Gu Qingheng felt like he would grow mold!
Especially in the Gu Residence where there was nothing to do, eating and sleeping all day, this kind of life was too boring!!!
However, the most terrible thing was not being able to break the bet, not even sneaking out for a moment… After all, he didn’t want to delay his wedding with Sister Lian’er!!!
If he had to get married in his twenties or thirties, Gu Qingheng felt he absolutely wouldn’t be able to accept it!!!
“How about it, do you bet or not?”
“Bet! I don’t believe that with my knowledge reserve, I can’t answer brother-in-law’s question.”
Finally, Gu Qingheng agreed to the bet.
Fortune favors the brave.
Moreover, thanks to his excellent memory in the past few years, his reading speed was more than dozens of times faster than others.
Of course, if it were someone else, they might only remember it for a while and then forget it.
But Gu Qingheng was different.
Possessing a photographic memory, Gu Qingheng couldn’t easily forget. Only some unimportant information was stored in the corners of his brain, no longer being touched.
Therefore, he bet!
After all, his brother-in-law hadn’t read many books. With a limited reading volume, the questions would be within a very small range, and he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to answer.
He was bound to win!
“Okay, then I won’t say anything more. I’ll ask the question directly.”
“Brother-in-law, hurry up and say it. Don’t keep me in suspense! Time is very important~”
“What’s the hurry? Listen carefully now… What is discussed in the sixth chapter of the ‘Admonitions for Women’?”
“What???”
Then, upon hearing Gu Yu finally speak, Gu Qingheng’s happy expression suddenly froze.
Immediately, he looked at Gu Yu with a head full of question marks, thinking, was his brother-in-law a devil???
