After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute
Chapter 74 Being a Guest
The runner-up was a slightly older man, also the son of an official. He originally thought that he was the only one who could win the top spot, but now a boy from a poor family appeared and had a higher reputation than him. He never gave Su Yi a good look from beginning to end.
He snorted coldly and left in his own carriage.
Su Yi was left alone looking at the towering courtyard wall, unable to find a sense of belonging. He felt empty inside and not at all happy as he had imagined.
Huanhuan, did you see that I walked out of that mountain? You will be happy for me, right?
"Sir, let's go back too. My son-in-law is probably waiting for us at home."
Su Yi retracted his gaze, his throat choked a little, "Let's go."
In a remote part of the capital, a thin man stood at the door, anxiously waiting. When he saw the carriage stopped at the door, he went to greet it and said, "Finally you're back. What took you so long?"
Su Yi explained: "I just met an acquaintance and talked to him for a few more words."
Guan Chang was surprised, "But we are from the same hometown as Suzhou Prefecture?"
"Hmm." Su Yi did not say it was Lord Xu, and tacitly agreed with Guan Chang's statement.
"Come in quickly, the food is ready. I'll be going back tomorrow. Let's have a couple of drinks today." Guan Chang said. He has been out with me for several months and it's time for him to go back now.
Su Yi looked up, "Brother-in-law, why don't you stay for a while?"
Guan Chang shook his head, "No, your sister can't control the two children at home, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law are also waiting for good news. I have already done my research. After I go back and settle down, I will bring my business to Beijing."
In recent years, Chunhui's business has been growing bigger and bigger, with branches opened in many places, and the same goes for chili peppers. Su's chili peppers can be found almost everywhere in the country.
Suzhou Prefecture became a chili city last year. Basically, all counties and towns are growing chili peppers, which has directly boosted the local economy. Even the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture received praise from the emperor.
But the Su family no longer has the joy of making money.
Guan Chang paused and said, "If you have something to say, go find the Cabinet Reader Lord Wang. He is my uncle. I have already written to him about this matter, but you are in the limelight right now, so he is reluctant to meet you."
"I understand. Be careful on your way and tell my parents that I'm fine. I'll bring them over once I'm back on track."
The two talked until very late before going to bed. The next morning, Guan Chang got on the carriage back with the gifts he had bought for his family, and Su Yi was also preparing to attend the banquet.
The prince and the emperor are brothers from the same mother and have a very good relationship. With the Empress Dowager also being there, the emperor has great trust in the prince. He was very satisfied with the top three yesterday and asked the prince to set up a reception for him.
Three carriages stopped at the gate of the Prince's Mansion at the same time. Xu Zijin jumped off the horse first and said, "Brother Su"
"Brother Xu"
The runner-up snorted, "Hypocrisy!" and then went in first, led by the servants.
Xu Zijin rolled his eyes. "He thinks everyone should revolve around him just because he is the son of a university scholar."
Su Yi didn't care at all. He said "Let's go" and walked forward.
In the princess's courtyard, a little maid came in and reported, "Princess, Master Xu is here."
"Really?" The princess opened her eyes wide, unable to hide her joy.
The little maid replied confidently: "Yes, she has already followed the prince and several young masters into the study."
The princess looked at the clothes on her body anxiously, "Oh, I'll change my clothes right away," and ran into the inner room and threw clothes all over the floor, but she couldn't find anything she was satisfied with.
The little maid suggested: "Princess, how about asking Sister Guyu to look for it for you?"
The princess shook her head without even thinking, "No, she was punished to kneel yesterday and she's not feeling well, so I won't bother her anymore. I'll go get her later."
The little maid was a little jealous. They were also taking care of the princess, so why didn't she get the same treatment?
It took the princess a while to change into her favorite apricot-colored skirt, and then she asked her maid to put on makeup before going next door to find Guyu.
Guyu didn't know if he caught a cold from kneeling yesterday, but now he felt dizzy and his lips looked pale.
"Guyu, my brother Xu is here, please go with me to take a look."
The princess' eyes were full of expectation, and Gu Yu couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay, princess, wait a minute, I'll come after I change my clothes."
Guyu changed her clothes and saw that her lips were very pale, so she put on some lip balm. It looked much better. "Princess, let's go."
Seeing that her face was a little pale, the princess said worriedly: "Why don't you take a rest, I will do it myself."
Guyu shook her head, "It's okay, I'm in good health, let's go."
As the princess's first-class maid, she had to follow the princess wherever she went. Although the princess was easy to talk to, when she met the prince, princess and other masters, she had no say at all, just like yesterday.
The two sneaked outside the study. Chang'an was also there. When he saw the newcomer, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward to greet him: "Princess, why are you here?"
After saying this, he looked back at Guyu from time to time, and his ears turned red.
"Hush," the princess lowered her voice, "We are just passing by, just pretend you didn't see us."
Changan suppressed his laughter and nodded, "Okay." Seeing Guyu's ugly face, he stepped forward with some concern, "Miss Guyu, are you feeling unwell? Have you seen a doctor?"
Gu Yu forced a smile: "Nothing, I just didn't get enough rest."
Although she said so, she felt that everything she saw was a little double, but it was not so serious just now.
After a while, a group of people came out. The princess took Guyu and hid behind the rockery to watch quietly. They saw their elder brother Xu laughing foolishly.
In fact, Li Yu had already discovered the two of them. He frowned and thought to himself that his sister's willfulness might implicate someone again.
The princess was so excited that she kicked the rockery and screamed. The prince and his three sons all knew what was going on, and the prince glared in that direction from a distance.
Xu Zijin also knew about it, so he glanced over there secretly, held back his laughter, and stayed by her side.
Su Yi pretended not to know and had a pleasant conversation with the prince.
"Qian'er, you young people go and have a chat. I have some things to deal with. Let's have dinner together later." The thing is to catch the girl who hates her family and beat her up.
Seeing that the group was about to leave, the princess was about to catch up, but she heard a bang next to her. She looked and saw that it was Guyu who had fainted.
She was still lying on the stone, blood quickly flowing out of her head. The princess was so scared that she collapsed to the ground, "Guyu, Guyu, what's wrong with you?"
"Someone come! Woo woo woo."
When Li Yu and Chang'an heard the word "Guyu", they had already rushed over here.
The two men saw Gu Yu lying unconscious on the ground. Chang An was about to step forward when he was scolded by his master, "Why don't you go call the palace doctor!"
After saying this, he picked up the person on the ground, turned around, left a word "follow me" to the princess, and quickly disappeared from sight.
Chu Yi vaguely saw a woman in a light pink dress. There was blood on her face and it was obscured by leaves, so he couldn't see it clearly. He felt a little panicked for some reason and didn't know where it came from.
The prince called him twice before he came back to his senses, "It's okay, I just remembered something, let's go."
