Chapter 328: Your First Show in the Circle
In accordance with the third brother's wishes, Su Wan went to the kitchen and quickly made him a portion of shaqima.
Every time Su Chen ate Shaqima again, he always felt his nose sour. He didn't expect that more than three years had passed. It felt like a lifetime ago.
When there is still time, the family will sit in the living room and chat together, talking about what has happened in the past few years.
Yang Qingqing gave birth to a son two years ago and named him Ye Huaixu.
This year is the year of the imperial examination. Ye Runze had already passed the provincial examination and came to Kyoto to take the exam after the New Year. Now he has made it into the metropolitan examination, but he is not in the top 30, so he cannot take part in the palace examination and can only wait for the next time.
But at least he is a juren now, so he can open a school and teach when he returns.
Over the years, the Yang family has helped the Su family, and their lives have been getting better and better. My uncle has already bought a new house.
Yang Qingqing also moved into a new courtyard and no longer lived in the small courtyard of the Ye family.
Su Chen did not mention the danger he encountered in the military camp. The result of Mimi's treatment has not yet been announced, but she has also made a great contribution, and she will not lose her life like other princes and princesses.
The external alliance had already been defeated, and the capture was only a matter of time, but because of Mimi's defection, it was brought forward by half a year.
In the evening, they were going to attend the palace night banquet. Su Jing and Su Chen changed into official uniforms and took Su Wan with them.
Today is Su Wan's first appearance in the Kyoto aristocratic circle, so she naturally has to dress up well and put on a skirt with red elements that suits her best, making her look bright and charming.
She is no longer the thirteen-year-old girl. She has grown up. Pink and red colors echo each other. She has her hair tied into a beautiful bun, wears a crabapple hairpin, and a few pearl flowers of the same color in her hair. She is elegant and generous.
When she came out dressed up, her brothers at home were all amazed by her outfit.
It can only be said to be a fairy product.
Having a beautiful sister is indeed something worth showing off.
Sun Ling'er had never been to the palace, so she pulled Su Wan and wanted her to describe it to her when she came back.
The servants had already harnessed the carriage. When they went out, Su Jing took out a thin cloak and put it on Su Wan. It was spring in Kyoto now, and the wind was still a little chilly in the evening.
Sitting in the carriage, Su Wan couldn't help but ask the question she had been holding back for the whole afternoon. She was too embarrassed to ask before.
"Big Brother, Third Brother, I have something to ask you..."
Su Jing and Su Chen sat on each side, and looked at her when they heard her words.
"What's the matter? Just tell me, I will tell you everything I know." Su Jing knew what she wanted to ask. It was not easy for her to hold it in for so long. He had an understanding smile on his face.
Su Chen was not as insightful as Su Jing, so he looked at her in confusion.
"Um... I want to ask, what official position did Jiang Yu get?"
Su Jing knew it, raised his eyebrows and explained:
"He is already the Crown Prince of the Duke of Jiang's Mansion. If he were to be given an actual position, it would probably be in Kyoto. However, Crown Prince Jiang refused Your Majesty at court today. Your Majesty asked him if he had any position in mind, and he said he only wanted to be an idle Crown Prince and asked Your Majesty not to assign him a position.
He dared to say that the emperor had agreed and promised him that if he had anything he wanted to ask him to do in the future, he could speak frankly.
The emperor was already happy that Duke Jiang had returned with a great victory. Jiang Yu was the eldest son of Duke Jiang and had made many contributions on the battlefield, so the emperor treated him with extra leniency.
Moreover, even if he didn't want the position, Duke Jiang's reputation in Kyoto was already very loud, and there were not many good positions to be arranged in Kyoto. If the position was given too high, the emperor himself would not be at ease. If the position was given too low, the face of Duke Jiang's Mansion would be lost. Therefore, the best way was not to arrange it. Jiang Yu proposed it himself, which made the emperor feel relieved.
"He said before that he didn't want to take any official position after returning. He wasn't interested in serving in the imperial court. However, if his country were ever in trouble, he would definitely do his utmost to help."
These words were said by Su Chen, a good brother who had been in the military camp for several years. Jiang Yu was only willing to talk to him about many things.
However, Su Chen still didn't know that Jiang Yu wanted to marry her sister.
Jiang Yu never mentioned this, and Su Chen only knew that Jiang Yu had a very exaggerated gold ring that he wore every day, and this gold ring also saved his life.
He held it close to his chest. Once, when he was facing an enemy general, the long sword almost pierced his chest. Fortunately, the ring was big enough and the ring blocked the tip of the sword, saving his life.
Later he asked, and Jiang Yu said that it was a gift from the girl he liked, but Su Chen's personality was not like Murong Huai, who liked to get to the bottom of things.
He knew it was a gift from the girl he liked, so he stopped asking questions. So he still didn't know that Jiang Yu liked his sister.
He had just been back for half a day and his family hadn't mentioned anything, so he was the only one who didn't know.
Su Wan smiled knowingly when he heard this. This guy was not like in the original novel. In the original novel, he came back from a victory and became the commander of the imperial guards. In order to make it easier for the male and female protagonists to do things, this time he chose to be an idle prince. It was good as he would not be disturbed by disputes.
"Wanwan, why do you care so much about Jiang Yu?" Su Chen asked puzzledly.
Upon hearing this, Su Wan glanced at Su Jing, who then stared at Su Chen.
Su Chen looked at their expressions and couldn't guess what was going on.
"Nothing, just asking casually." Su Wan said this, and secretly tugged at his brother's sleeve.
What she meant was, you explain it to him, I won’t say anything more. Su Jing understood what she meant.
Finally, the carriage arrived at the palace gate. It was first checked and no weapons were allowed to enter.
Su Wan could bring a maid in. Liuyun was not meticulous enough in some occasions, so Liuying went with him and she waited outside.
After entering the palace, the troops split into two groups, and Su Chen and Su Jing went to Qinghe Hall.
Qinghe Hall is close to the harem, and it is the place where emperors of all dynasties held banquets.
Su Wan had a special palace maid to lead the way, who took her to the Weiyang Palace in the harem, which was specially used to entertain officials' wives.
The Weiyang Palace was built in the Imperial Garden. After paying their respects to the Empress, the female members of the royal family could walk around the Imperial Garden at will.
Su Wan is now a newly-promoted noblewoman, and her two brothers are both very promising. From now on, when she goes out, people will have to introduce her like this:
This is the younger sister of Lord Su, the Vice Minister of Personnel, and also the younger sister of the General of Cavalry. The General of Cavalry is now serving as a lieutenant general in the Kyoto City Defense Camp.
The officials' wives have not all arrived yet, so the Empress has not come yet. Usually, she brings the other empresses to make the final appearance.
The Weiyang Palace is really big, but Su Wan’s seat is near the front, in the second row.
Because the first row is for the ladies and princesses.
There is a reason why her position was arranged like this. After all, her two brothers are now meritorious officials of the Dajin State.
Tonight, Su Wan is destined to attract much attention because it is her debut in the entertainment industry.
