Ji Yu walked to the door and saw Ji Shuyao watching from a distance.
Seeing Ji Yu, Ji Shuyao hurriedly went up to him and took the box from his back.
Wenrou said, "I was wondering if you would come back to stay today because you are going to Beijing to take the exam tomorrow. I am also afraid of going to the academy to find you and disturbing your study."
"Sister, we are siblings, there is no need to disturb you. If you want to find me, I will definitely have time." Ji Yu said with a smile.
Ji Shuyao looked at the boy in front of her who was already half a head taller than her, and she stood on tiptoe to touch the top of Ji Yu's head. "Xiao Yu has really grown up."
Ji Yu touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly, "Sister, don't touch my head, I still want to grow taller!"
Ji Shuyao smiled without saying anything, then pulled Ji Yu inside.
When the two of them went in, they ran into Gu Qingqing who was about to leave the Gu Mansion and go home.
She seemed to be looking for Lu Chengruo, and the two of them walked hand in hand and laughed. After not seeing her for a few months, the girl became more and more beautiful, with a delicate face, like a fairy in a painting.
Such a face would make Ji Yu's heart beat fast no matter how many times they met. She just stood there quietly, her face looked a little pale under the light pink dress she was wearing.
"Xiao Yu." Seeing that Ji Yu was staring at the other person without moving his eyes, Ji Shuyao hurriedly reminded him.
Ji Yu quickly bowed his head and apologized, "Ms. Gu, I have overstepped my bounds."
Gu Qingqing looked up at the boy in front of her. He seemed to have grown taller than the last time they met, and his posture was upright. His facial features were very handsome after losing their immaturity, with three-dimensional features, a high nose bridge, and bright lips.
If his name is ranked higher in this exam, and if it is the same in the palace exam, the emperor will definitely select him as the third place winner. How could he look favorably upon me then?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing felt that it was a bit ridiculous that she had come to the Lu family today to inquire about the news.
She raised her foot and wanted to escape from the Lu Mansion.
But, Ji Yu's familiar voice came from behind: "It's been cold lately, girl, remember to keep warm."
After hearing Ji Yu's words, Gu Qingqing didn't expect that he would actually dare to get too involved with her in public.
So Gu Qingqing ran away even faster.
Ji Shuyao and Ji Yu walked in together. Ji Shuyao asked, "Does Xiao Yu know Miss Gu?"
Ji Yu replied indirectly, "I have seen her because of Sister Lu."
Ji Shuyao nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Ji Yu returned to his room and started reviewing his lessons. Even dinner was brought to him by Ji Shuyao personally.
Before leaving, Ji Shuyao stuffed some money into Ji Yu's pocket.
"Sister, I don't want it. My brother-in-law has already given me the travel expenses, food and accommodation to Beijing." Ji Yu declined.
"Why don't you want your own sister's money?" Ji Shuyao said pretending to be angry.
"You should always save some money for yourself! And spring is coming, so you should buy yourself a couple of new sets of clothes." Ji Yu explained.
"It's okay, sister has money. This money is the pocket money your brother-in-law secretly gives me. When it's time to buy clothes, your brother-in-law will definitely give me more money." Ji Shuyao left the money and left.
"Sister, when I pass the exam, I will buy you the most beautiful cloth." Ji Yu shouted from behind.
Ji Shuyao felt even more relieved when she heard this.
Ji Yu looked at the scattered banknotes on the table, which added up to three hundred taels.
It seems that my sister has saved all her pocket money since she got married this year, just for this trip to Beijing to take the exam.
After Ji Shuyao left, Lu Chengruo knocked on Ji Yu's door again.
"Please come in." Ji Yu thought it was the servant who came to deliver something.
"Ji Yu"
Only after hearing the crisp voice of a girl did Ji Yu raise his head from the desk.
The person who came was Lu Chengruo.
"Ms. Lu." Ji Yu quickly stood up and saluted.
"You are such a fickle person. When you asked for help, you called her Sister Lu. Now when you don't ask for help, you avoid calling her Miss Lu?" Lu Chengruo said coquettishly.
Ji Yu thought about it and felt that there was no need to continue arguing with him for a title, so he changed the topic and asked, "Sister Lu, what are you doing here?"
"My parents told me just last night that if you pass the exam this time, they will allow you to be my concubine. They also said that even if you marry a daughter of a noble family in the future, she will at least treat me better for the sake of your sister." Lu Chengruo said word by word.
Her words seemed so plain, as if she was telling a very ordinary thing.
Ji Yu raised his head, stared at Lu Chengruo carefully, and said in a very serious tone, "I will not take a concubine. In this life, I, Ji Yu, only want you, my love."
"Ji Yu, you just look down on me like this! Even if I marry you as a concubine, you won't even give me a glance." The girl's eyes were filled with resentment and anger, and her eyes were slightly red. "I don't understand how I am worse than Gu Qingqing. My family background is not worse than hers. Although Gu Qingqing is beautiful, I, Lu Chengruo, don't admire her. Why don't you want to marry you as a concubine!!"
When Ji Yu saw her expression, he felt a little soft-hearted, but he knew that now was not the time to be soft-hearted.
After all, he had never thought of being with a woman other than his target.
He tried to comfort her with a cold tone, "It's not that I don't like you. I will only marry one wife in my life, and I have no plans to take a concubine. It's not because of you, but I can't get over it in my heart. I also believe that you will find someone better than me in the future. I will go through the three letters and six ceremonies to marry you. We will be together forever and love each other forever."
After hearing Ji Yu's words, Lu Chengruo realized how ridiculous he was today.
After all, the person in front of him had never planned to take a concubine. He seemed to have really fallen in love for the first time, but he only fell in love with one person.
Lu Chengruo even had some vicious thoughts in his heart: if Zhao Xiuyong came back after graduating from high school in March this year and married Sister Gu, would the young man in front of him give up and be willing to marry him?
But when she saw the surprise in the boy's eyes when he talked about Sister Gu, she knew that she couldn't ask this question after all.
As soon as Lu Chengruo left, Ji Yu quickly turned off the lights, locked the door, and went to bed.
