Chapter 223 One-on-one
Before the Yang family's promotion banquet, Zhao Lan arranged for Su Dalang to live in the Imperial College, and Su Ruojin took the opportunity to follow him to the Imperial College for a visit.
As expected of the highest institution of learning in the Dayin Dynasty, it has everything from study areas to living areas. Zhao Lan arranged a double dormitory for Su Anzhi, so that they can take care of each other with roommates and have their own private space. Su Ruojin even wanted to go back to school again.
Living with Su Anzhi was Wei Shizi's cousin, Wei Jingyang. They were of the same age and both had passed the scholar stage and were preparing for the imperial examination.
"Brother Wei, please take care of my brother. This is a little snack I made. Please don't dislike it."
Wei Jingyang has a handsome appearance and mature manners, like a noble young man. He politely responded, "Madam Su, you are too polite. It is fate that I can live with An Zhi."
Su Ruojin was like an old aunt, smiling at the handsome young boy, which made Zhao Lan frown. Normally, he asked her to call him "Brother Zhao", which was like heaven. But why did he call others "brother" as soon as he saw them? It was really unhappy.
Born into a wealthy and prominent family, he was good at observing people's expressions and soon noticed the unusual look on Prince Zhao's face. After taking a few glances, he understood a little bit. No wonder he was so enthusiastic about his teacher's son. It turned out that there was more than just a teacher-student relationship!
He glanced at the simple and honest Su Anzhi again, who was unaware of the affair between Prince Zhao and his sister, and shook his head secretly.
After everything was packed up, Su Ruojin took advantage of Zhao Lan and had lunch in the Imperial College cafeteria. How should I put it? After all, it was the top school in the Great Yin Dynasty, so the food was quite varied. Maybe there were many people in the Imperial College, so the big pot dishes were just like that!
After lunch, Su Dalang and Wei Jingyang went to class together. Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin left the Imperial College and accompanied the young lady back home.
After confirming their relationship, Zhao Lan became very clingy and didn't want to go to work at all. He also stayed at Su's house and Su Ruojin couldn't urge him anymore.
"It's really okay?"
"Um."
Su Ruojin stared at him in confusion. She heard from Hua Ping and Ye Huaizhen that in order to find her, all the troops of the three departments were dispatched. The entire capital city, except for the streets of the imperial palace, were under martial law. The carriages and sedan chairs of officials below the fourth rank had to be checked. It was a grand ceremony.
"The Imperial Censor reported you, did the Emperor punish you?"
The young lady's guess was not wrong at all, but Zhao Lan refused to admit it. "I caught a group of Liaoxia spies, and it affected the interests of some people. It's normal for them to trip me up."
Zhao Lan spoke lightly, and Su Ruojin was not really a lady in the inner chamber. She knew that there were so many intrigues and schemes involved. It was not easy for a man, and even more difficult for a person in a high position.
Okay, since Su Ruojin can’t help him with this anyway, she might as well make something delicious for him.
If you have yogurt at home, then make some fruit salad! It can not only relieve the heat and quench your thirst, but also kill time in the afternoon, killing three birds with one stone.
At this moment, there were very few winter melons and it was difficult for ordinary people to get them. The ones awarded to Prince Jin's Mansion by the palace were brought to the Su family by Zhao Lan. Mother Dong went to the market in the morning and bought pears, oranges, and melons. There were also ripe grapes in the Su family's yard. She picked a bunch and put them together. There were so many kinds of fruits in a bowl of fruit. They were cut into cubes and poured with cool and refreshing yogurt and melted sugar water. The taste was so sour, sweet, icy and refreshing, and it was so delicious that you couldn't stop eating.
Zhao Lan ate with melancholy, "Ajin, when I go to Weizhou, I don't know when I can eat the delicious food you made by yourself."
I really want to marry her home right now.
Su Ruojin would not be fooled by his pity. "Weizhou belongs to the capital. It only takes a day for you to ride a horse. If you want to eat, just go there."
"That's true." Zhao Lan said, "Once this storm is over, I will ask my mother to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to your family."
He said it lightly. Su Ruojin didn't know how to respond to him for a moment. She just smiled and lowered her head to eat her fruit.
Seeing the young lady's attitude again, Zhao Lan approached her and whispered, "Don't believe me again?"
Shuangrui and others saw the young master and the young lady sitting close to each other, exchanged glances, and quickly retreated, closing the door behind them.
Mao Ya, who was standing at the door, glanced at Shuangrui and Chunxiao, then looked at the tightly closed door, and reached out to push the door, but Shuangrui, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, blocked her hand.
Mao Ya pushed him hard.
The first manager beside Zhao Lan was not someone Mao Ya could push away. He clamped Mao Ya down, and even with all the skills she had learned, she couldn't display them in front of him.
"Let me go." Mao Ya growled at Shuangrui with gritted teeth.
Shuang Rui said coldly and condescendingly, "Let you disturb the masters?"
"What does your master think of my Jinniang?" In broad daylight, a man and a single woman were in the same room with the door closed. She, Maoya, was not afraid of being bullied by them.
Shuangrui really wanted to reply, of course it's the future mistress of the house, but he didn't have the courage to say it out loud. The young master was right to think so, and there are also the prince and princess above him.
Can mutual love compete with being well-matched?
However, Shuangrui still did not let go and let this bold and stubborn girl seize the rare time that the masters and their masters spend together.
She couldn't struggle to break free, and she couldn't get rid of him. Mao Ya was so angry and anxious that she almost swallowed him.
Shuangrui turned his head and pretended he didn't see it.
Chunxiao, who was sitting in the corridor enjoying the breeze, glanced at the two entangled people, turned her head and smiled secretly. It was quite interesting, a couple inside and a couple outside.
Inside the room, Su Ruojin stroked the young man in a smooth manner, "Believe it, of course I believe it." If they dared to say they didn't believe it, he would do something unorthodox. She would go crazy and decided to go back to Weizhou County first. Who knows, maybe three years later, Su Yanli would be transferred to another place to be the magistrate?
By then, time will dilute everything!
"Ajin...Ajin..."
Su Ruojin was called back to her senses: "Huh?" She didn't know what he had just said, she was distracted and didn't hear it.
Zhao Lan glanced at the fruit in her hand.
"ah?"
“Ah…” Zhao Lan opened his mouth and motioned for the young lady to feed him.
Su Ruojin: …looking at the enviable perfect face so close to him in disbelief, what is this guy doing?
"Ah..." Zhao Lan leaned close to the young lady's face, waiting for her to feed him.
Su Ruojin instinctively leaned back to distance herself from the young man, and he reached out and put his arm around her waist, bringing her closer to him.
"ah……"
Zhao Lan sat there with a smile on his face, waiting for the young lady to feed him.
Su Ruojin was seduced by the guy's charming eyes and subconsciously scooped a spoonful. When her arm was halfway raised, she felt it was too spicy and quickly pulled it back.
Zhao Lan grabbed the young lady's arm, moved closer to the spoon, and took a bite of the fruit soup. While eating, he stared at the young lady with affection in his eyes.
Oh My God.
Su Ruojin suddenly came to her senses, stood up with the fruit in her hand and stood eight feet away from him, "Zhao Lan, what nonsense have you learned recently?" He even learned how to flirt with girls!
Zhao Lan?
What did the young lady call him? His name?
Not only was Zhao Lan not angry, he even smiled frivolously, "Ajin, what are you talking about?"
Su Ruojin took a bite of the fruit salad and said coldly, "I've known you for so many years, but I've never seen you like this." Why did you suddenly become so lustful?
"What about me?" Zhao Lan suddenly felt aggrieved. "I've already told you that I like you. If you like someone, doesn't that mean you want to be with her all the time?"
