Erniu came running in with his tail wagging. Seeing his master sitting there motionless, he lay down beside him, put his mouth on his master's shoe and squinted his eyes comfortably.

Erniu's quietness and obedience made Yu Jin look at him. He reached out and rubbed his head, muttering, "She really won't stop until she piss me off to death..."

He has no other wish but to grow old together with the girl he has loved since childhood. Why is it so difficult to achieve this?

Yu Jin never thought of giving up.

He had given her a choice.

When he knew she was engaged, he suppressed his urge to commit murder and set fire to her and silently blessed her, but her marriage did not take place, and he could not just watch her marry someone else.

But why is she reluctant?

Yu Jin was confused.

He was not a playboy who leisurely wandered among the flowers, and he was not good at how to please women. What made him approach Jiang Siping again and again was just his perseverance.

But now he has experienced heartache and he wants to cut his heart out and throw it in front of his sweetheart, so that she can see his sincerity and ask why.

Even if you were to marry, you wouldn't be willing to marry him?

Whenever Yu Jin thought of Jiang Si saying these words, he felt as if he was sinking in an icy hole. In addition to the bone-chilling cold, there was also an overwhelming feeling of suffocation.

Never see him again?

Yu Jin picked up the teacup and took a few sips of the cold tea. When he finished the tea, he threw the cup to the ground.

The teacup didn't break, but rolled toward the corner of the wall. Erniu held it down with his paw and licked the remaining tea with his tongue.

The big dog looked distressed.

It doesn't taste good. No wonder the owner is unhappy.

Yu Jin stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

No matter how sad he is or how angry he is, he still loves Ah-Si!

What was the point of hearing these words from Jiang Zhan? Even if he wanted to hear them, he had to hear them from Ah Si.

After strolling around for a few times, Yu Jin made up his mind: if Ah Si didn't come to see him, then he would go to see Ah Si. It was better than tossing and turning alone and end up hurting himself.

I got sick from the true qi, but no one felt sorry for me.

The Yongchang Marquis's Mansion and the Dongping Marquis's Mansion were separated by only a wall, and the layouts of the two mansions were similar.

But the Earl of Yongchang was good at business, and because of his great achievements in recent years, the title that was originally passed down after three generations was continued. The entire Earl of Yongchang's Mansion was renovated and looked more vibrant than the Earl of Dongping's Mansion.

There were several pots of fresh flowers in Xie Qingyao's room, which also exuded a vibrant atmosphere.

"Asi, are you listening to me?" Xie Qingyao said for a while, and seeing that her friend was absent-minded, she reached out and pushed her.

Jiang Si came back to his senses: "What?"

My second brother should have talked to him about it by now, but I don’t know how he would react.

"Look, you're distracted again." Xie Qingyao came over suddenly, blinking his eyes, "Asi, tell me the truth, are you having sex?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Si glared at his friend and put away his messy mood.

Xie Qingyao sent the maid away and asked with a gossipy look on his face, "Haven't you heard that a handsome young man like jade appeared in the capital recently?"

"What is Mr. Ruyu?"

"It is said that the young man is the son of the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. He is handsome and talented, and he has just arrived in Beijing."

The son of the Shuntian prefectural governor?

The image of a middle-aged man with a long beard and wise eyes suddenly appeared in Jiang Si's eyes.

Could the young man mentioned by Xie Qingyao be the son of Lord Zhen?

"Since you just came to Beijing, how come you have become so famous?" Jiang Si asked following up Xie Qingyao's words.

Xie Qingyao couldn't help but widen his eyes, incredulous: "Asi, have you not paid attention to what happened outside these days?"

"I only heard that the Seventh Prince was crowned King, nothing else."

These days, she was only thinking about Yu Qi's sudden disappearance and had no time to pay attention to Mr. Ruyu.

Xie Qingyao covered her mouth and smiled: "What does the prince have to do with us? Of course, Master Ruyu's affairs are more interesting."

After listening to Xie Qingyao's story, Jiang Si realized that another eye-catching event had happened in the capital in the past two days.

There was a tavern in the capital called Zhuangyuanlou. In order to have good luck, students would go there to drink as soon as they became famous. The owner of Zhuangyuanlou was also a very capable man. He would waive the wine bill on the spot for any student who wrote an amazing poem. Over time, Zhuangyuanlou became a gathering place for scholars of letters.

Shuntian prefectural governor was an official in the capital in his early years, and his children were actually born in the capital, and later followed their father to take up his post. When Master Ruyu returned to the capital, naturally some of his childhood friends came to welcome him, and the welcoming banquet was held in the Zhuangyuan Building.

As luck would have it, there were a few men from Xiliang dressed as scholars in Zhuangyuan Building at that time, and they were provoking the students from Da Zhou who were drinking in the tavern.

Xiliang was adjacent to the Great Zhou and was once a vassal state of the Great Zhou. Later, although the culture and economy of the Great Zhou continued to prosper, its army was incompetent. Xiliang then became more powerful and gradually stopped taking the Great Zhou seriously.

Today, Xiliang is competing with the Great Zhou in terms of culture, and some even believe that they are the source of the prosperity of the various schools of thought.

This is unacceptable! The people of Xiliang quickly surpassed the people of Qi and Nanlan and topped the list of people hated by the people of Da Zhou.

It just so happens that the two countries are close neighbors, have similar cultures and customs, and have more exchanges than any other countries. For example, it is common for students from Xiliang to come to Dazhou to study.

When students confront each other, they certainly will not and will not resort to fistfighting, but rather compete in poetry, singing, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Among the Xiliang people, there was one with outstanding literary talent, who overwhelmed all the students from Da Zhou in the hall. At this time, Master Ruyu appeared, and from making couplets to reciting poems and composing fu, he severely hit the arrogance of the Xiliang people, making them finally admit defeat and leave in disgrace.

The people of the Great Zhou loved to watch the excitement, especially when it was an elegant event that brought honor to their family. Soon, the story of Master Ruyu defeating the talented scholar from Xiliang spread.

"That Mr. Zhen, I heard that he is not much older than us but he is already a scholar, and he will also take part in this year's autumn imperial examination. What do you think, is he amazing?" Xie Qingyao had nothing to be shy about in front of her close friend. With bright eyes, she talked about the topic that the young ladies loved to discuss.

Jiang Si nodded: "Amazing."

With a father like Lord Zhen, Mr. Zhen must be a very intelligent person.

Seeing that Jiang seemed uninterested, Xie Qingyao didn't mention it anymore.

It is natural for an outstanding young man to attract the attention of young girls, but it is hard to say that they will fall in love with him.

"Miss, the snow cake is ready." With Xie Qingyao's permission, a maid in blue came in carrying a lotus leaf-shaped porcelain plate.

The green lotus leaf plate with the snow-white cake shaped into a flower and rolled in coconut shreds looks refreshing and delicious, making you salivate.

Xie Qingyao picked up a piece of snow cake and handed it to Jiang Si with a smile: "Ah Si, try it. The snow cake made by our cook is absolutely delicious. I eat two pieces every day. If I wasn't afraid of getting fat, I could eat a whole plate."

Jiang Si tasted it and found it delicious, and he couldn't stop praising it.

Seeing that Jiang seemed happy, Xie Qingyao pursed her lips and smiled.

Looking at his friend's sweet smile, Jiang Si thought that Lady Yongchang's troubles should be solved.

Who would have thought that a major incident would occur in the Yongchang Earl's Mansion the next day.
