Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 206: When he passes the imperial examination, I will propose marriage

Su Shiyun rushed into Lupingyuan. When she saw Zhao Luxi there, she was stunned for a moment, greeted her, and then threw herself into Qiao Lili's arms and started crying.

"What happened?" Her crying made Qiao Lili cry. Who offended this little girl? Is it just one person who doesn't want to be well, or the whole family? "Tell me quickly, let your sister judge for you."

Although Zhao Luxi was also very familiar with Su Shiyun, it seemed that Miss Su had something on her mind to say. After she finished her story, she stood up and said goodbye.

"Okay, you go back first. I will inform Manager Yun. Tomorrow you can bring those friends to the orphanage and let him talk to you about the salary and specific work." Qiao Lili patted Su Shiyun to comfort her while explaining everything to Zhao Luxi.

"Okay." Zhao Luxi bowed and said goodbye. Caiwei sent her out and asked her to take the gift she had prepared in advance. Since Qiao Lili went to court, Zhao Luxi began to bow to Qiao Lili whenever they met. Qiao Lili felt that this would make her feel more comfortable, so she let her do as she pleased.

"He is not that kind of person. There is no way he could cheat." Su Shiyun said while sobbing.

"Look at your snot and tears, they're all over me. Are you jealous of my pretty dress?" Qiao Lili pushed Su Shiyun away. "This was given to me by the Sixth Prince. Be careful or he'll come after you."

When Su Shiyun heard this, she stopped crying and said, "Oh, no way, sister, please don't tell on me." The Sixth Prince looked like a banished immortal. Ordinary mortals were not worth his attention. However, there was one thing for him: he would never let go of anyone who did anything bad to Qiao Lili.

Therefore, in the court, the ministers were polite to Qiao Lili. With the pressure from Emperor Yong'an, Yu Jingyan and Concubine Yun were also under great pressure. The emperor still gave face to the old ministers and remembered their past achievements. But the mother and son were not like that. They didn't care about anything unless it was related to Qiao Lili. As long as it was related to Qiao Lili, no one would tolerate it, including the emperor. They were ruthless.

"Stop crying, now and tell me what happened." Qiao Lili finally scared the girl into calming down, so she asked quickly.

"Ah," Su Shiyun still hadn't recovered from the Sixth Prince's fear, "Oh, they said, they said Ke Yang cheated."

Ke Yang is a hot candidate to win the autumn examination. As the date for posting the results gets closer, the rumors in Beijing are getting more and more outrageous. Today, they say this person bought the test questions, and tomorrow, they say that that person had a gun. Now, the rumors finally come to Ke Yang's head.

Rumor has it that Ke Yang is the grandson of Lord Chen, and the reason he doesn't dare to use the surname Chen is because Lord Chen is the one who sets the test questions, so it would be easier for him to cheat.

Ke Yang is the son of Lord Chen, but this Lord Chen is not that Lord Chen.

The Lord Chen who set the test questions was said to be Chen Ruxin's grandfather. Ke Yang's father was also in the cabinet, also with the surname Chen, and was known as Little Lord Chen. However, his influence was far less than that of Lord Chen, and he was not on the list of people who set the test questions.

Many people in the court knew that Ke Yang was the son of Minister Chen Xiao. Minister Chen Xiao's status was not enough to be qualified to set the examination questions. Even if he was qualified, he would be asked to recuse himself since Ke Yang was taking part in the examination this time.

"Whether Ke Yang cheated or not, what does it have to do with you? Why are you crying?" Qiao Lili asked with a stern face.

"This, this, I just want to stand up for justice." Su Shiyun's voice became lower and lower. When she heard about it, she was so angry that she just wanted to find Qiao Lili to clear Ke Yang's name and feel sorry for Ke Yang. After seeing Qiao Lili, she couldn't help crying.

Qiao Lili didn't say anything, just looked at her with a stern face.

Su Shiyun's face slowly turned red. She turned around awkwardly, sobbed again, and said shamelessly: "I don't believe you didn't see that I like him." After that, she turned around and covered her face.

"You are just a little girl who hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, how can you know what love means? Don't be too enthusiastic, or you will be sad." Qiao Lili tapped her forehead and said, "There have been a lot of rumors recently. If they are false, they will be gone in a few days. Don't worry about them. If they are useful, the Chen family would have already made a move. Why are you so anxious?"

When Su Shiyun heard this, she realized that this was indeed the case. She was just worrying too much and was confused.

"I'm going to be a 15-year-old next month." Su Shiyun puffed up her cheeks and swallowed the words back.

"You are not telling me the truth. You are hiding something from me. Tell me or not. Don't come to me crying in the future." Qiao Lili pretended to be angry and said to Caiqin, "Then we will send the guests away from Lu Pingyuan. From now on, you all should watch out and don't let in those mean people."

Su Shiyun quickly went to pull Qiao Lili's hand, twisting her body into a knot, and said coquettishly, "Sister Lili, Sister Lili, I'll tell you, I'm not hiding anything, I'm just embarrassed to say it."

"I'm sorry to say it, but you have the nerve to come here and cry." Qiao Lili pretended to be angry and turned her head away, not looking at her. Caiqin and Caiwei held back their laughter and watched their young lady teasing Miss Su. The young lady was too busy every day and was on edge all day. Now teasing Miss Su was like relieving their stress.

Su Shiyun: You guys are pretty nice people.

Su Shiyun's face turned red again. She covered it with her hands, twisted her body, stamped her feet, and finally mustered up the courage: "On the day when the examination results were posted, he came to congratulate me on getting first place, and then said, and then said, when he got the top scorer, he would come to propose marriage."

After she said this, she jumped up, turned around, and hid behind Caiqin.

"Oh, I was wondering why a rumor made you cry so sadly. It turns out you are afraid that it will affect his chances of becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination, and eventually affect his chances of proposing to you for marriage." Qiao Lili took the tea brought by Caiwei, took two sips, and her mouth was dry from teasing the little girl.

"Sister Lili is the worst. I don't want to be friends with you anymore. I'm leaving." Su Shiyun flicked her handkerchief, came out from behind Caiqin, and ran away.

It's like a gust of wind coming and going.

Think about the two guests of Lupingyuan just now, one is Zhao Luxi and the other is Su Shiyun. Both are good girls, but they have completely different personalities. However, they are both cute.

In fact, Qiao Lili was only sixteen years old, oh, she would be sixteen in a few days. But after being reborn, she felt like an old woman who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. When she saw Zhao Luxi, Su Shiyun, Xiao Wenchu, Chen Ruxin, such lively girls, she liked them as if they were younger girls.

Only in front of Yu Jingyan did she feel like a young woman, with the worry of missing him, the pounding of love, and the reluctance to part.

Thinking of Yu Jingyan, Qiao Lili frowned slightly. The man who pestered him every day seemed to be a little strange these two days. After dealing with memorials and various affairs and sending her back from the palace, he did not even stay in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion for dinner. What was he busy with?
