After Su Yu heard that Yu Zheng was coming, she would wait at the door of the courtyard from time to time. She had said those words to the people in the old house before. If the master came, she would have to give Yu Zheng some air to avoid spilling the beans.
But she didn't expect that Ji was more caring than her and waited with her at the entrance of the hospital.
Not long after, she saw a green cloth carriage swaying towards the Su family from a distance. Ji didn't think it was the carriage from the Yu family at first, because she heard that Yu Zheng was not only the number one scholar, but also His father was also a high-ranking official. It was impossible for the family to be so poor when both father and son were officials. They only had a blue cloth carriage when going out.
Mrs. Ji stretched her head to look behind the green cloth carriage. She did not see another carriage coming, but she saw the carriage coming towards the door of Su's courtyard. Ms. Ji bumped Su Yu who was waiting at the side with her elbow.
"Yu Yatou, when will the champion arrive?"
"Auntie, I'm not here anymore."
Seeing that the carriage was almost at the door of the house.
"I heard that both his father and son are officials, so why would they go out in such a carriage?"
Although this carriage looks ordinary on the outside, it looks like an ordinary carriage on the outside, but it is different on the inside. She has made this carriage several times, and the interior is made of good materials, and there are many hidden compartments for food. I can put it down even if I drink it.
But there was no need for her to say these words to Ji. Soon the carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.
Qinglin jumped off the carriage and first saluted Su Yu who was standing at the door.
"Miss Su."
As for Ji's Qinglin who was standing next to Su Yu, he had never seen him before. Of course he knew who he was. Seeing that Su Yu didn't say anything, he pretended not to know.
After the master got off the carriage, Qinglin got on the carriage and took down the gifts prepared for the Su family.
Yu Zheng got off the carriage and smiled gently at Su Yu.
"Fish."
"You came."
"Haha, this must be the Number One Scholar. He's really a talented person. He matches our Yu Yatou quite well."
Yu Zheng looked puzzled, looked at Su Yu and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is my aunt, she just came from my hometown a few days ago."
After listening to Su Yu's introduction, Yu Zheng shouted to Ji.
"Auntie."
Ji responded and quickly invited Yu Zheng in with a smile.
"Let's go in quickly, Yu Yatou's grandma is still waiting in the main room."
Because in the past in Yujia Village, it was very common for Yu Zheng and his servant to come in and out of his house. Therefore, since coming to Jinjia Village, Su Laoer's family has not changed. Every time Yu Zheng comes over, there is not much reaction. No one came out to greet him. The whole family was doing their own thing. Today Yu Zheng came to the door. It could be said that the whole family was waiting in the main room formally, waiting for Yu Zheng to come along with the people from the old house.
"Brother Zheng is here."
"Uncle Su."
"Come here and meet her. This is Yu'er's grandma. It was her aunt who brought you in just now. This is her eldest brother Su Chen."
Yu Zheng followed Su Laoer and met them one by one.
Except for the two elderly people in the main room, only Ji and Su Chen were in the first room. The third room had not healed the wounds on their faces and was too embarrassed to come out to meet the guests. Su Shen had brought Su Jie with him early in the morning. He went to play with the children in the village, but no one deliberately told him that guests would be coming today.
After seeing the gift, Yu Zheng sat down on a chair nearby. Qinglin stepped forward and presented the gifts to everyone one by one. The third-bedroom girl was handed over to Lian.
Two pieces of cloth were prepared for the two old men. Each piece of cloth looked very rich, which was very popular with Mrs. Li and Mr. Su.
They also prepared fabrics for the eldest couple, and a book for Su Chen.
The gifts given to the third-fang couple were also made of fabrics, and the gifts given to the two brothers were all children's toys.
Before meeting Yu Zheng, the people in the old house were very stubborn. They felt that although Yu Zheng was the number one scholar, he would not be able to get anywhere if he could like Su Yu. But now that they met the real owner, they saw that he was All that energy and momentum were gone.
In Su Yu's view, all the people in Laozhai were bullies and bullies. Seeing Yu Zheng sitting there doing nothing, the people in Laozhai became more honest one by one.
"I haven't heard from my second uncle before that you are coming over. If he had, I would be able to arrange for someone to pick him up. Although it is a peaceful time now, it is really not peaceful on the road. When I came to Beijing to take the exam, I met three groups of bandits on the road."
The people in Laozhai understand Yu Zheng's words deeply. They have suffered a lot along the way.
There was a period of silence after that. Yu Zheng was a man of few words. This was the first time for people from the old house to meet him. They didn't know what to say to Yu Zheng, the champion, so they both remained silent.
In the end, Mrs. Li thought of her eldest grandson and had to speak.
"Brother Zheng, I heard that you know a lot of people in Kyoto City, so you must have a way to get Yu Yatou and her eldest brother to the Imperial College. Our brother Chen studies hard, and he used to be the real teacher in our hometown. It's just that this time our whole family came to Kyoto City, so we brought him here because we were worried.
But not to mention the delay of more than a month along the way, it has been several days since we arrived in Kyoto City, and we can no longer delay Brother Chen's studies. "
"Old madam, it's not that I don't want to help with this matter. Yu'er's eldest brother got first place in the state when he took the scholar examination, so the Imperial College sent him an admission notice and asked him to come to the Imperial College to study. Go. It’s not who has the final say about studying in the Imperial College. Otherwise, there are many descendants of the officials in Kyoto City. Some are promising and some are not. If one can really enter the Imperial College based on connections, then other academies around Kyoto will also be able to do so. No need to open it.”
"But Brother Chen is very good academically."
"I wonder what rank Su Chen got in the scholar examination back home?"
"When my brother Chen took the scholar examination, his ranking was not low, around twenty-six."
"Then there's nothing I can do. If I'm in the top three, I can still have some influence. There are more than 20 people."
Yu Zheng didn't say anything else, but everyone present could hear what he meant.
Su Chen, who was sitting on a chair nearby, had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. He used to think that he was good enough to get more than 20 exams, but now he has never felt that he was so embarrassed to meet people after getting more than 20 exams.
"Then since we can't go to the Imperial College, we can go to Qingshan Academy outside the city, right?"
Mrs. Li felt that she had settled for the next best thing.
"The old lady may not know that Qingshan Academy has the same status as the Imperial College. The Imperial Academy is the representative of the official academy, while the Qingshan Academy is the representative of the civilian academy. The status of the two academies is similar. I really have no choice over the Qingshan Academy. If Su Chen wants to study If so, I can think of some ideas from Huaishan Academy."
