Chapter 131

Where did the brocade clothes come from?

Author: Emei Swordsman

Where did the brocade clothes come from?

Young man? What young man? With such an appearance and demeanor, how could he be a young man?

Hearing Gu Ming'an's words, everyone was confused and looked back and forth at Cheng Yan with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Gu Yunji's face darkened, ink waves rolled in his eyes, and his tone sounded like he was gritting his teeth: "I'm afraid cousin Ming'an may have seen it wrong. This is the friend I invited to class with, Cheng Yan, whom you met yesterday."

"Oh - it's him!" Gu Ming'an suddenly realized and spoke in a strange tone, "Don't blame me for misunderstanding. I remember that Cheng Yan was clearly wearing burlap clothes yesterday and looked poor. Today he suddenly changed his clothes. I thought

I didn’t recognize him, I thought he was one of your favored servants, I was blind for a moment, cousin Yunji, don’t blame me!”

As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Yan with disdain and said pointedly: "I heard from my grandfather that Mr. Cheng's family is poor and he has trouble studying. I wonder where he got the money to make such expensive clothes?

Speaking of which... the style of your clothes looks very familiar to me. It is somewhat similar to the one I am wearing. Could it be..."

After hearing what Gu Ming'an said, everyone compared the clothes on the two of them and found that they were indeed the same wide-sleeved robe, the same brocade fabric, and even the position of the collar pattern was similar, except for the color and size.

There are some differences in other details.

Cheng Yan joined the school temporarily, and the Gu family did not prepare a change of clothes for him in advance. The clothes he was wearing were originally made by the Gu family for Gu Yunji. Fortunately, the two were of similar stature, and he could wear Gu Yunji's size.

Gu Kaiqi directly distributed two sets for him to prevent him from being looked down upon because of his clothes.

An aristocratic family like the Gu family in Songjiang has strong financial resources, so all the clothes for the whole family are specially customized at fixed garment shops.

Gu Yunji and Gu Ming'an are both young men. There are only a few styles suitable for them at the moment, and they are produced by the same store. The process of making and processing the clothes is the same, so it is normal for them to be somewhat similar.

"Could it be what?" Gu Yunji sneered, looking at Gu Ming'an like that, he knew he wanted to stir up trouble again, "Then I also said that the clothes of Cheng Yan and cousin Huai Shao are also very similar. I guess they bought them from the same ready-made clothing store.

Clothes, otherwise what else can they mean?”

After hearing this, everyone looked at the clothes on Gu Huaishao's body again and found that it was indeed the case. They all felt that Gu Yunji was right. The clothes made by the same ready-to-wear shop were naturally somewhat similar, so there was nothing strange about them.

Gu Ming'an lightly curled his lips and waved his fan carelessly: "Cousin Yunji doesn't know something. The clothes of our Gu family are all tailor-made and cannot be bought by ordinary people. Mr. Cheng is wearing this...

I saw that the sleeves seemed a little longer, maybe they weren’t my own clothes, right?”

Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan have similar body shapes and heights, but there is a difference in arm length. Gu Yunji's arms are slightly longer. When his clothes are worn on Cheng Yan, the sleeves naturally look baggy and do not fit well.

Just as everyone's eyes moved to Cheng Yan's sleeves, Gu Ming'an added in a persuasive manner: "I heard my grandfather say two days ago that my cousin Yunji was coming to stay for a few months, so how much money should I prepare for him?

A change of clothes, but I see that Yunji is still wearing old clothes today, he won’t give up his new clothes to Mr. Cheng, will he?”

Gu Mingan emphasized the word "give" very hard, as if he was saying that Cheng Yan was so poor that he didn't even have clothes to wear and needed others to make concessions.

Feeling the probing glances from around him, Cheng Yan's face turned pale, his fingers under his sleeves trembled slightly, and he subconsciously hid his sleeves behind his back to block everyone's sight.

When he got the clothes, Cheng Yan knew that they were not specially prepared for him, but on the one hand he didn't want to offend Gu Kaiqi's kindness, and on the other hand he wanted to avoid potential troubles, so he accepted it obediently.

, who would have thought that he would be stabbed out in public by Gu Ming'an, leaving him no face at all.

In fact, even if everyone knew that Cheng Yan was not wearing his own clothes, but those prepared by the Gu family for him, it would not matter. Instead, it would show that the Gu family treated guests well.

However, Gu Ming'an insisted on emphasizing that these clothes were originally Gu Yunji's and were later "given" to Cheng Yan. In addition, he said before that Cheng Yan's family was poor and he was wearing burlap clothes yesterday, as if the other person's luxurious appearance was completely gone.

It's a pretense, but actually it's dilapidated inside and it's hard to live up to the standards of elegance.

After Gu Ming'an said this, Cheng Yan's action of hiding his sleeves fell into the eyes of the people around him and became evidence of his guilty conscience.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Cheng Yan with a bit of contempt and disdain.

Wu Qimo, who had just asked for Cheng Yan's name, rolled his eyes unabashedly as he wanted to make friends with him, and sneered silently in his heart: He pretended to be so similar before, I thought he was some noble young master from aristocratic family, but he turned out to be a serial killer.

A poor boy who has to rely on others to get his clothes, really thinks that he can transform from a chicken to a phoenix just by putting on a brocade dress? Ridiculous!

The low-pitched sarcasm and ridicule from all around fell into his ears. Cheng Yan's face turned green and red, and his fingers turned white when pinched. He was embarrassed and helpless. Gu Yunji's heart tightened when he saw this, and he wanted to open his mouth to defend him, but was ignored by him.

Stop lightly.

After taking a few deep breaths, Cheng Yan's face returned to calm. He calmly stepped forward and looked directly at Gu Ming'an, with a clear voice:

"As the Second Young Master Gu said, the clothes I am wearing are indeed not my own, but were given to me by the Fourth Master Gu. Cheng Yan's family is poor and it is difficult to study. Today I have the opportunity to be classmates with all the young masters and listen to the teachings of the great Confucian

, it’s all because the Gu family thinks highly of me and is willing to support me, Cheng Yan is very grateful.”

"Cheng Yan will never forget the kindness of the Gu family in supporting him. Today I would like to thank Second Young Master Gu again." With that said, Cheng Yan faced Gu Ming'an and bowed deeply to him solemnly and sincerely.

Gu Ming'an was caught off guard and stood there blankly, not knowing how to react.

He took the initiative to bring up this matter because he wanted to humiliate Cheng Yan because of his poor family background and make him feel inferior and embarrassed. Who would have thought that the other party would admit it so openly and not at all ashamed of his background.

In just a few words, he made it clear that the clothes on his body were given to him by Gu Kaiqi on his own initiative, not by Gu Yunji; he also pointed out the fact that the Gu family supported him, rationalizing his behavior in the school. His words were sincere and his attitude was correct.

You can't fault it at all.

Cheng Yan's words and deeds were so open and natural that everyone couldn't help but look at him favorably. In comparison, Gu Ming'an seemed a bit aggressive and narrow-minded.

Cheng Yan just bowed properly and sincerely, his words were full of thanks to the Gu family, and he praised the Gu family's kindness to him. Even Gu Huaishao on the side blushed, and Gu Ming'an didn't respond because he didn't respond.

When I came here, I accepted his courtesy so abruptly, which can be said to be extremely shameless.

Sensing the strange looks from everyone, Gu Ming'an finally came back to his senses. He could neither stand nor walk. He felt that nothing he did was right, and his face instantly turned red.

Just when Gu Ming'an couldn't get off the stage, someone suddenly pointed to the door and shouted: "Mr. Chen is here!"

When they heard that the highly respected and respected scholar of the time had arrived, everyone raised their heads and looked towards the door.

Seeing the familiar figure standing at the door, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan were both startled, and their tone was very surprising: "Mr. Chen?"
