Chapter 194: Straight Man
"So you mean, if he invites you personally, you will go?"
After Jiang Yu finished a cup of tea, the smile on his face faded. He put the empty cup on the table with a little force, making a clear sound to express his dissatisfaction.
How could he be so picky? Su Wan didn't tolerate his temper. She had already made her position clear, so why was this guy still insisting on it?
She stood up and looked down at him:
"Why are you so unreasonable? I already said I wouldn't accept the invitation. Even if he said so himself, I wouldn't go. I'm not familiar with him, and others would think I'm trying to climb the social ladder. Besides, if I want to climb the social ladder, I have to climb a higher branch."
It was obviously Jiang Yu who was jealous, but after a few words, Su Wan became the one who was angry.
It's just like a couple in real life. When they quarrel, it is obvious that the man is the first to express his dissatisfaction, but in the end, it is the woman who is angry.
She turned around and was about to leave angrily, but Jiang Yu stopped and quickly called her because his attention was completely attracted by her words that if she wanted to climb, she had to climb a higher branch.
"Su Wan!"
Su Wan stopped when he heard the voice, looking confident of victory, thinking to himself, you little brat, let's see who's tougher.
"What else do you want to say?"
Su Wan felt that he should come to apologize.
"You don't want to marry the current emperor, do you?"
After Jiang Yu said this, Su Wan's pupils dilated and she looked at him in disbelief.
Su Chen spat out a mouthful of tea and narrowly avoided choking to death.
Jiang Yu's words became more and more outrageous.
Yang Qingqing also blinked, not understanding what this meant.
For Jiang Yu, Su Wan didn't know his identity, and he didn't know any family more noble than the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion. The two sons of the Changlong Earl's Mansion were already married, and Su Wan's personality should not be willing to be a concubine. Therefore, the most noble man in the world is none other than the current emperor.
No matter how easy-going Su Wan usually is, she couldn't be easy-going at this moment.
The current emperor is so old, his brain must have been eaten by dogs to say such things.
Su Wan stepped on his foot with a lot of effort, but Jiang Yu didn't even frown. He still waited for her answer with an indignant look on his face.
Su Wan replied to him:
"Get lost!"
There's no way to have a good chat today.
She returned to her room angrily. After thinking carefully, she realized that what she said at that time was actually a reference to Jiang Yu, the high branch.
A third-class title in the Earl's Mansion is nothing compared to his family's first-class marquisate.
He is the prince of the Duke's Mansion. Isn't he a higher-ranking official?
However, his current identity has not been exposed. In his opinion, she doesn't know his identities, so he thinks so much.
But Su Wan was still very angry, what a straight man.
Jiang Yu was so annoyed after hearing the words "get out" that he sat back under the tree with a gloomy face. Su Chen was there with a gloating smile on his face, which made Jiang Yu even more annoyed.
He looked at Yang Qingqing and asked:
"Why is she so angry?"
Yang Qingqing lowered her head and suppressed her laughter, saying:
"If it were me, I'd be angry too. What you said is too outrageous. Wanwan was just making an analogy, but you're dwelling on it. It's no wonder she got angry."
Jiang Yu calmed down and thought about it, it seemed so. He saw that the note said that he invited Miss Wanwan to go boating with him in three days to enjoy the lake view together. Miss Wanwan, was it also his name Wanwan?
He was blinded by jealousy for a moment. He was so smart and strategist in normal times, and he could remain calm even in the face of a catastrophe, but when it came to love, he lost all his intelligence.
Now she has made me angry. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen her lose her temper in all the time I have known her.
Now, what he should worry about is how to coax people.
Just when he didn't know what reason to use to apologize, his guards came in.
"Young Master, there is a letter from Kyoto, addressed to the Su family."
The letter came from Kyoto, and was addressed to the Su family. Su Chen and Jiang Yu's eyes lit up at the same time.
I guess there is good news from Su Jing.
As soon as the letter was delivered to Su Chen, he wanted to open it and read it, but Jiang Yu stopped him:
"Wait, I'll go get Wanwan to come over and watch it together."
Su Chen didn't know his little tricks yet, so he just went along with him.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Before he could finish his words, he had already left.
Jiang Yu came and knocked on Su Wan's door. Su Wan was lying on the bed speechless.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She sat up with a start and couldn't help but complain:
"No, he's sick, right?"
What kind of brain circuit would think that she wants to marry the emperor?
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door and Jiang Yu coughed twice outside.
There was no movement inside, so he said:
"Your elder brother has a letter, why don't you come out and read it?"
Just as he finished speaking, the door opened and Su Wan emerged from inside, craning his neck to look around at him:
"Where's the letter from big brother? Where is it?"
"It's at Su Chen's place. I want you to go and see it together."
Upon hearing this, Su Wan walked around him and hurried into the yard. Jiang Yu grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"do what?"
She bumped into his chest, and her body tensed up in an instant.
Jiang Yu asked her to stand facing him, held her shoulders with both hands, bent down slightly, and said to her sincerely:
"Wanwan, look at me, I have something to say to you!"
Su Wan looked up at him. His handsome face was so outstanding that she could hardly bear to admire it from such a close distance.
"Say whatever you want to say. I'm still rushing to read my brother's letter."
"I'm sorry, I just slipped up. That's not what I meant. Because... because you said you wanted to climb higher, so I misunderstood. Can you please not be angry with me? If you really can't bear it anymore, just step on me a few more times to vent your anger. If that doesn't work, you have any requests, and I will agree to them as long as you ask for them."
In fact, after his apology, Su Wan's anger had already subsided by more than half.
However, how could someone as proud and spoiled as her be coaxed so quickly?
Su Wan broke free from his control and cleared her throat. Although she tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth, she still couldn't help but smile.
"Let's talk about it later!"
After saying this proudly, he turned and left.
She personally opened the letter from her elder brother, and it was indeed good news. Her elder brother had successfully passed the imperial examination, and he was at the top of the list. That is the first place, called Huiyuan.
Now, we are just waiting for the palace examination, and the emperor has ordered that this year's palace examination be held a month earlier, which means that the final result of this year's imperial examination will be known by the end of July.
The eldest brother also said that Kyoto is a place of learning. He had already met the Grand Secretary of the current cabinet and received praise from him.
Upon hearing the news, the entire Su family was so happy that they almost set off firecrackers to celebrate.
When the eldest brother passes the palace examination and returns home in glory, he will enter Xiangzhou City wearing a plaque of success bestowed by the emperor, riding a tall horse, wearing a red official uniform, and a big red flower on his chest. Then the whole Xiangzhou will know about it, and that will be the time when their Su family will be proud.
