Su Jing was indeed drinking with a group of classmates, but the waiter in the restaurant had been bribed and was waiting for the opportunity to drug Su Jing. Zhao Xiyun was already lying down in a room.
Su Jing was already too drunk. After drinking some wine, she was already a little drunk. Her cheeks were red, and she held her chin and closed her eyes slightly.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Xiucai couldn't help laughing and said:
"Brother Su is just a scholar, but he is a drunkard. We finally have a place that surpasses Brother Su."
In the academy, Su Jing ranked first in all abilities and was loved by all the tutors. In this provincial examination, only Su Jing qualified for the general examination.
Everyone laughed together, except Qi Xiucai, who had always had issues with Su Jing in the academy, and snorted disdainfully:
"Being able to pass the provincial examination does not necessarily mean that you can pass the national examination. The imperial examination is held every three years. Thousands of students come to Beijing to take the examination. There are many dragons and phoenixes among them. Being able to excel in Xiangzhou Prefecture does not mean that you will be outstanding in Kyoto. It can be great too!”
Su Jing disagreed and just smiled lightly, not wanting to argue with him. He never said that he was sure of it.
But those classmates who were good friends with Su Jing helped Su Jing refute:
"Qi Yuan, Su Jing has already passed the provincial examination for sure. Unlike us, she is still just a scholar."
Qi Yuan's face froze, and he drank himself a glass of wine unhappily.
The waiter came in to refill the wine, turned to Su Jing's side, refilled his glass, and everyone raised their glasses again, drank it all, and talked and laughed happily.
Only Qi Yuan was secretly competing with Su Jing, and he just refused to accept it. Su Jing was outstanding in everything, and even Dean Zhou thought highly of him and wanted to betroth Miss Yun to him.
When Su Chen arrived at the county, it was already night and it was already getting late. Afraid of not being able to make it in time, he quickly found the place where Su Jing was having a drink. He happened to meet the students saying goodbye to each other, but Su Jing was not seen.
Su Jing was completely drunk and was sent to a guest room in a daze. However, Su Jing was the only one in the room, and Zhao Xiyun was not seen.
On the contrary, Qi Yuan accidentally drank the pot of wine prepared for Su Jing that was laced with love potion. At this moment, his whole body was on fire and he was unconscious.
He groped back to the room by himself. The bed curtain was put down. Zhao Xiyun was knocked unconscious and thrown in. Qi Yuan opened the bed curtain and saw Zhao Xiyun sleeping soundly. He thought he was dreaming and was under the influence of love medicine. Next, he extended his hand to her.
As soon as the lamp blew, the darkness was filled with clouds and rain. The movement was so big that it even woke up Zhao Xiyun. She thought it was Su Jing at the time, and she was so happy:
"I usually pretend to be polite and elegant, but I didn't expect that I would be so ignorant!"
In the darkness, she smiled coquettishly and hit Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan was drugged. Facing the girl he liked, all he could think about was that kind of thing.
Moreover, scholars are basically gentle and elegant, and Zhao Xiyun's description can be summed up.
In front of her, she was half-nudging him, but in the back, she was welcoming her with as much enthusiasm as fire. The two of them were engaged in a fierce fire that was about to ignite at the first touch.
When Su Chen found Su Jing, he broke into a cold sweat when he heard that he was resting in the guest room.
I thought to myself, it's over, it won't really cause trouble, right? I didn't take all precautions. What should I do?
Pushing open the door with trembling hands, Su Chen was nervous about his eldest brother's marriage, and at the same time felt that he was too embarrassed to have a relationship with Su Wan.
When he saw Su Jing sleeping alone in the room, he breathed a big sigh of relief. It was okay, nothing happened, but Su Jing was so drunk that he was afraid that he would not be able to go home tonight. I can live here.
He thought about going back to report that he was safe, so that Su Wan could rest assured and stop worrying about this matter, but he was also afraid that if he left, something would happen to Su Jing again.
At this time, a male voice sounded from behind:
"Third Young Master Su, just stay here and guard Young Master Su. I will send someone to Miss Su to report that he is safe."
Su Chen turned his head and saw a young man he had never seen before. He was dressed in black and had a saber tied to his waist. He was only his age.
"Who are you?"
"My young master left a team of troops in Qinghe County to secretly protect the Su family. Our people discovered that the waiter in this restaurant was bribed to drug Mr. Su and facilitate his marriage with Miss Zhao. So I helped him secretly, and by tomorrow morning, there will be a good show."
When Jiang Yu left, he deliberately left them behind because he wanted them to protect the Su family. Su Chen didn't have to hide it, he just made it clear when he met.
Because of his relationship with Jiang Yunhe, Jiang Yu was also very reassured about his character. It wasn't that he didn't trust other people in the Su family, but they didn't know much about it, so there was no need to involve them.
"But Jiang Yu's order?" The young master he mentioned should be no one else but Jiang Yu.
The man nodded and cupped his fists towards Su Chen:
"I am the leader of this group of secret guards. My name is Feng Ying. If anything happens in the future, Mr. Su can come to Yong'an Tea Shop directly to see me. When he comes, he only needs to say that he wants three ounces of Biluochun, which is born in March. Someone will bring you to see me.
It's just that I ask the Third Young Master to keep this matter a secret from others. Only you know about this matter. Our young master has a special status and too many people know about it. I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. Please forgive me. "
Su Chen nodded. He knew that Jiang Yu's first identity was that of the young master of Fengyue Villa. His master had not made it clear yet. He only knew that Jiang Yu was from a famous family in Kyoto.
Moreover, there are too many people who want Jiang Yu's life. Just because of his identity as the young master of Fengyue Villa, many people are thinking about him and are very unconvinced.
"I understand. Thank you so much, young hero, for helping me and protecting my brother. I'd like to express my gratitude!" Su Chen also clasped his fists at him.
"It's not possible. We all listened to the young master's instructions and stayed in our position to do our best. The Su family has shown kindness to my young master. It's what we should do." Feng Ying was very frightened.
The young master said that he must respect the Su family, especially the Miss Su family, and need to take more care of them on weekdays.
This was the first time they had seen the young master being so interested in a girl, but it was no wonder that they had seen in secret that Miss Su's beautiful face could compete with the sun and the moon, and she was extremely intelligent. No wonder the young master looked at her differently.
As long as the young master likes a girl, she is their only sister-in-law and must be protected.
This kind of treatment was not given to Gu Yue in the original work. Jiang Yu had no interest in her in the early stage, but it was not her who was indispensable to her in the later stage.
The author has said that Jiang Yu is a person who won't give in. His feelings for Gu Yue started out just because she was different and he took a high look at her, but it didn't make him like her enough to give up his life, and in the middle There is still a life-saving grace stuck.
He would not give in to his feelings, and would not stay married for the rest of his life just because the heroine married someone else. In his opinion, if he could not find a soul match, even if he didn't like Gu Yue, he would choose not to marry for the rest of his life.
