When I found out I had become the [Most Beautiful Woman], [Most Respected Woman], [Number One Talented Woman], and [Most Beautiful and Virtuous Empress] of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Su Chang...
Chapter 1211: There is gold in the sleeves, enough to support the breeze
Six eyes looked at each other.
Xun Kuang, with a pair of blue eyes and a red nose, immediately waved towards Su Linhan.
Su Linhan hurried over out of curiosity.
But I haven't spoken yet.
On the tree, some students were lying there, using branches in their hands to shield themselves.
Under the tree, Cui Yuer and other colleagues were all there, even
Su Linhan also saw Master Liu Kan and Mr. Ji.
They were hiding there one by one.
This made Su Linhan not know what to say for a moment.
"Girl, hide well, don't let anyone see you." Mu Xu pulled Su Linhan down to squat, then looked at her mysteriously, "Do you know what Chiyu is doing now?"
But seeing Su Linhan looking at him and the others with a strange expression, Mu Xu was immediately shocked: "This girl knows nothing."
Su Linhan said: "Sir, what are you doing..."
Xun Kuang lowered his voice and said, "This is the first time that Yan Shu has taken the initiative to come to Chi Yu."
Su Linhan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, yes, this was the first time.
Xun Kuang continued, "As far as I know, this kid received a letter from the Empress two days ago, and he has been worried all day. Yesterday, I went to the Imperial Academy to ask for someone to come and help you. Zuo Shaoweng and the others agreed immediately, but this kid hesitated. In the past, he never refused such things."
Mu Xu said, "There's something hidden."
Su Linhan looked at the master and disciple and was stunned for a moment: "A letter from the elder sister?"
Xun Kuang nodded: "This brat doesn't let me watch, this is the first time, so it's very strange!"
Mu Xu asked: "Did the queen tell you anything?"
Su Linhan shook her head, but her expression was startled and she immediately said, "Big sister said that it's time to control Yan Shu and Gu Chiyu. They can't show up again."
Having said that, Su Linhan looked at Xun Kuang.
No words are needed, the words are clear.
Xun Kuang curled his lips.
Mu Xu said, "What did the queen write? Otherwise, how could this bastard come to his senses and find the fish in the pond?"
Su Linhan squatted down and hid herself as well. If that was the case, then it was worth taking a look.
But Su Linhan looked at Mu Xu: "Master Gu's place."
Mu Xu whispered: "The old man doesn't know, I let Shuiyun hold him back."
…
"Miss Gu"
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu, bowed, and spoke softly.
Gu Chiyu was stunned when he heard this address: "Miss Gu?"
Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed his words: "Miss Gu."
Gu Chiyu immediately looked at Yan Shu: "Mr. Yan, what did you call me?"
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu and changed his words again: "Master Gu."
Gu Chiyu stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow, muttering: "It's only been more than half a month since we last met, and you've changed your name!"
Yan Shu was a little embarrassed. After seeing Gu Chiyu hesitate to speak, he took a step back and bowed deeply to Gu Chiyu: "Master Gu, I am very grateful for your care for me these days, but you and I are not suitable. You come from a family of clerks, and I come from a farmer's family. I am not worthy of you."
At the end of his speech, Yan Shu looked up at Gu Chiyu, his face expressionless and unperturbed.
Those who were listening with their ears pricked up had surprised expressions. They thought of everything, but they didn't expect that Yan Shu was here to do this?
"You bastard!" Mu Xu rolled up his sleeves and forced the old man to hit him.
Fortunately, he was stopped by Xun Kuang.
Gu Chiyu felt that the man looked familiar and wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything. She just looked at that face and felt aggrieved for no reason. Her heart tightened. The usual fatigue and the face of the man in front of her made her want to cry.
But Gu Chiyu turned around, said "Oh", and was about to leave.
But before she took a step, Yan Shu spoke again: "Miss Gu."
Gu Chiyu turned around, her eyes sparkling, trying hard to hold back tears, "What are you doing? I'm busy! If you keep talking nonsense, stop talking to me!"
Yan Shu actually said many times how great he was.
But not once was it said like this.
In the past, Gu Chiyu always talked about those things when he was with Yan Shu, and Gu Chiyu just laughed it off.
But today is very different.
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu: "Miss Gu, I..."
Gu Chiyu looked at Yan Shu's shy look and frowned: "When it comes to fighting, you are not as good as me! Don't think I won't fight!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Shu bowed to Gu Chiyu again and said, "Miss Gu, I am Yan Shu, a student from Xinghua Village, Jinling. My father died when I was five years old, and my mother was the only one who took care of me. I was a student at the age of eleven, and passed the prefectural examination in the same year. I became a scholar in the academy examination. At the age of fourteen, I passed the provincial examination and was awarded the title of Jieyuan for my excellent performance. At the age of seventeen, I bid farewell to my mother and went to Beijing. I was admitted to the Imperial Academy as a tribute student. I was accepted as a student because I was appreciated by my teacher and Master Yao. I spent three years in the Imperial Academy and took the imperial examination. I lived up to the hard work of studying for more than ten years, my mother's hard work, and the expectations of my teachers, and was awarded the third place in the imperial examination."
Hearing this, Gu Chiyu asked, "Show off?"
Yan Shu's resume is indeed something he can brag about. As a top scholar in his twenties, Yan Shu would be ranked high in the history books.
After hearing what he said, the eavesdroppers looked at each other, and then at Yan Shu.
What is this brat talking about?
But after hearing what Gu Chiyu said, Yan Shu quickly shook his head: "No, I..."
Yan Shu said, "My family is poor. I get three taels of silver a month. Half of it will be sent to my mother by the postman. As for the rest, I have to give books to the children in Pingkangfang. So I only have two or three coins a month to eat. Sometimes I need help from my colleagues and neighbors to survive."
Gu Chiyu looked at Yan Shu: "What do you want to say?"
Gu Chiyu was genuinely irritated and aggrieved, but he was also genuinely confused.
I don’t understand what Yan Shu is doing today!
Mu Xu, who was eavesdropping, heard these words and slapped Xun Kuang on the back of the head: "He is more promising than you!"
Xun Kuang rubbed the back of his head, he also felt aggrieved.
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu and continued, "I won't tell you what my future will be like. The road is under my feet. We should do what is happening now. There is no need to promise the future. Although I have ambitions and may be able to achieve them, they will never come true. But I want to say that the girl is not married, and I am not married."
Gu Chiyu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Yan Shu.
The people who were eavesdropping straightened up one by one and looked at Yan Shu. Oh, what this boy did was very interesting.
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu: "I"
When he said this, Yan Shu pursed his lips and continued: "I"
He spoke again and immediately shut up.
"Speak up!" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but shout.
Hearing this, Gu Chiyu and Yan Shu looked over there at the same time, but the two people had strange expressions on their faces. When did so many people come?
Gu Chiyu frowned and looked at Yan Shu: "What do you want to say? Let's go to a place where there is no one?"
Yan Shu lowered his head, shook his head gently, and looked at Gu Chiyu: "I... Actually, I often dream about you, Miss Gu, recently."
Gu Chiyu blushed when he heard this: "What? It's not appropriate anymore, and you're still dreaming about me?"
Yan Shu waved his hands quickly: "No, yes."
At this point, Yan Shu said: "I am lucky enough to be favored by Miss Gu, but I dare not respond to her because I am tired at home. Therefore, many unpleasant things happened. Although I feel guilty, I also want you to give up."
Gu Chiyu said: "Again!?"
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu and said, "I explained what I said just now to you. It was a response to you and what I sincerely thought in my heart. Recently, I heard that when a woman expresses her feelings, she should respond sincerely. That's why I said those words to you, Miss Gu, to make it clear to you why I have been hesitating until now."
Yan Shu took a deep breath, and then continued: "Now I am telling you this from the bottom of my heart. You and I have feelings for each other, so I naturally have you in my heart. I often think of you at night, and I can't sleep for several times under the rainy nights of the parasol trees. I feel guilty and regretful, but I can't help it."
Yan Shu took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Today, I had a conversation with the two old gentlemen, and this letter, I..."
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu and said, "I thought that the girl had feelings for me and expressed them boldly, but I had been avoiding and ignoring them. I couldn't explain the right and wrong. I could only respond to the girl sincerely and ask for her forgiveness. Telling her my feelings right now is a confession for me and for pursuing you."
Yan Shu frowned, feeling that he had said nothing, because it was completely different from what he had thought on the way here.
When I really faced Gu Chiyu, my mind was in a mess.
Gu Chiyu, on the other hand, stared at Yan Shu in a daze. He already understood what this idiot Yan Shu meant, because he had expressed his feelings to him before, so why couldn't he respond seriously?
But because he has feelings for me, he is now seriously confessing it to me.
Gu Chiyu rubbed his hands in his sleeves, very nervous, but tried to control himself, frowned and scolded: "Are you awkward or not?"
The shadows of the trees were swaying, and the sun wanted to see the girl's blushing face, so the tree tried hard to cover it up for her.
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu: "I, um, feel awkward."
Gu Chiyu looked at the letter in Yan Shu's hand, but suddenly looked at Yan Shu: "No, you are not that kind of person. What happened? Otherwise, with your slow personality, you would not be able to do such a thing."
When Yan Shu heard this, he quickly said, "It's the Queen."
Gu Chiyu was puzzled: "My lady?"
Yan Shu said frankly: "The queen did not order me to do this, please don't misunderstand, she just asked me in the letter, decades later, you and I meet again without words, just smile at each other and forget the old feelings. Or... or decades later, you and I sit together in the courtyard and reminisce about the past. I want the latter, even if, Miss Gu, you are tired of me and never sit with me decades later, but at least I am honest with you."
When Gu Chiyu blinked at Yan Shu, her face became even redder, especially when she looked at Yan Shu's eyes. For the first time, she was too embarrassed to look at Yan Shu. In the past, this person had always been afraid to look at herself.
but
Embarrassed, me?
Definitely not!
Thinking of this, Gu Chiyu took the letter from Yan Shu, pretending to read it, but secretly glanced at Yan Shu.
But he found Yan Shu standing there looking at him, and immediately lowered his head to open the letter.
But when he opened it, he realized something was wrong and asked quickly: "I"
Yan Shu said, "You can watch it."
Gu Chiyu saw Yan Shu coming over and immediately said, "Take two steps back!"
Yan Shu didn't understand, but did it anyway.
Gu Chiyu opened the letter.
Just a few lines of words.
Yan Shu, there was once a scholar, who covered himself up and hid himself, was melancholy alone, and cried loudly, and could not sleep at night, all because of women.
Later, the scholar bid farewell to the girl and stuffed the things they both cherished back into her hands. It was a rainy day by the river, and her cuffs were wet from the rain, making her look even thinner.
They met again many years later. The scholar was now a powerful official, and the woman was also noble but had become a married woman. When they met, they smiled at each other and put aside their old feelings.
but.
There is also a saying that the scholar and the woman accompanied each other for a lifetime, watching the moon side by side in the courtyard, muttering about the past decades, talking about their respective anxieties and laughter on the wedding day, and recalling the past.
You and Chi Yu, which one do you want to choose?
Among the millions of words in the world, love is the most deadly.
Don't let your feelings get too deep; you are still young, so don't hesitate.
Then
Please respond to Chiyu's feelings for you. I am writing this letter as the queen. If you don't treat me well, I will make things difficult for you.
If you are still thinking about the idea of "a clean-handed person would not dare to miss a beautiful woman", Su Liheng is going to start a new business recently. You can go find him and you can make some money even if it's only a few cents of shares.
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu and said, "Miss Gu, I want to choose the latter. Even if you are unwilling to accept it, or have someone else in your heart, I will never regret my choice today."
Yan Shu bowed to Gu Chiyu again.
That day in the Hanlin Academy, when Yan Shu received the letter sent by the Empress, he was stunned at first, then went home to read it and remained silent for a long time.
It's difficult.
If it wasn't difficult, he wouldn't be like this.
For several nights, Gu Chiyu's figure appeared in his dreams several times.
Yan Shu was anxious, so he went to see the old gentleman today, just wanting an answer.
Because these things were not written in the book, he didn't know what to do.
Gu Chiyu looked at the letter and then at Yan Shu.
The cheeks became redder, the leaves could no longer stop it, the sun shone on the woman's cheeks, making them even prettier.
The woman blushed and explained everything.
"It's done!" Mu Xu slapped Xun Kuang on the back of the head, then looked at Su Linhan: "Girl! It's done! You ask your grandfather to prepare for a long time, and I will accompany him to drink! Isn't it done! The queen must have a way, such a letter! Oh!"
Xun Kuang covered the back of his head and looked at his teacher, why did you hit me!
And many people around were even more surprised. Wow, the top scholar expressed his feelings and played a connecting role, a twist?
Gu Chiyu took out a purse from his waist and waved it in front of Yan Shu: "See? I have money! I don't need you to support me! And judging from your appearance, you might even want me to support you!"
There is gold in the sleeves, which is enough to keep the breeze.
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu: "I will try my best."
"Yan Shu! Where have you been? And you're looking for my granddaughter!"
But at this moment, Master Gu's loud voice came over, and it sounded very angry, even furious.
Hearing this, the people around were all startled.
Gu Chiyu grabbed Yan Shu's wrist and said, "Go!"
Yan Shu looked at Gu Chiyu and smiled gently: "I will go and explain it to the teacher."
After saying that, Yan Shu looked towards the source of the sound.
Women's friendship should be responded to with sincerity.
So, there is no need to avoid it.
Your Majesty, Yan Shu is learning.
…
Imperial Palace, Lingqi Pavilion.
Su Changan waved his hand and wrote another letter, which was to an official with whom he was in conflict with his family.
Looking at the letter she wrote, Su Changan sighed, being the queen is not easy! She has to deal with so many people.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "Where can I find such a good queen? Is she a wife?"
But his wife ignored him, which was quite embarrassing.
Su Changan looked at his wife who was reading the memorial, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Wife, I thought of something when I was writing this."
Xia Fengxiang raised his eyes: "Hmm?"
Su Changan said: "I was wondering what would happen to us if you hadn't changed."
Xia Fengxiang became interested and looked at Su Changan: "How is it?"
Su Changan said: "You are responsible for washing clothes and cooking at home, and I will do the rest. I will also open two stores to support the two of us."
Xia Fengxiang asked with a smile: "What store, the Rouge store?"
Su Changan shook his head: "Laundry and restaurant. The laundry sells some expensive clothes. We use our good soap to wash them. They have a nice fragrance."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes and continued reading the memorial, but this time he didn't read a single line of words and glared at Su Changan.
