Xu Junlan and Su Rouer looked at their son and Su Yu with complicated expressions. They didn't quite understand what young people were thinking. Was their son so generous?

Su Yu patted the naughty Xu Jiuyue lightly after hearing this, and said to Xu Junlan's wife and husband with a normal expression,

"I know that Mother and Father mean well, but it's really not suitable for the current situation. The time for the provincial examination is tight, and a familiar environment will be more conducive to my performance."

Having said that, how could the two of them not know that the matter was over? Xu Junlan smiled and imitated Xu Jiuyue, picking up the dish that Su Yu liked with chopsticks.

"In that case, we won't force you. You are the ones who know your situation best.

But there is one thing your father didn't tell you. This courtyard in the south of the city was actually prepared specifically for you.

When you first went to the academy, the Jin Mansion was not close to the academy. Your father knew that you had to commute to school every day, and he felt sorry for you, so he and I specially prepared this house for you.

Even if it is convenient for you not to move out, you still have to accept this house."

Su Yu smiled and thanked him tacitly, "Thank you for your kindness, Daddy and Mom. We will take good care of this house."

……

Time seemed to be on accelerator again, and August came in a flash. After the imperial examination, Su Yu did not continue to bury herself in her homework. She was still very confident about this imperial examination. She did not worry about the results, but instead took her husbands on an autumn outing to relax.

She was carefree, but she didn't know that Xu Junlan and Teacher Gu were worried about her grades and were looking forward to it every day.

Su Yu chose Xiguo Village as the destination for the autumn outing. She missed the crabs in Xiguo Village, so she took her husbands to Xiguo Village in a large group.

In autumn, the fields of Xiguo Village are dyed golden, the branches are loaded with fruits, and the atmosphere is filled with the joy of a good harvest.

An autumn breeze blew by, and Su Yu sat comfortably on the leisure wooden chair made by Chen the carpenter in the village, resting his head on his arms and looking up at the deep blue sky.

The sounds of Jin Xuerong and Xu Jiuyue catching crabs in the stream filled my ears, and the aroma of barbecue from the nearby An Xun directing Qingfeng's servants drifted to my nose.

In front of me is the gurgling sound of Luo Heng making milk tea on the red clay stove. Everything is so beautiful and comfortable.

When Jin Xuerong and Xu Jiuyue were tired of playing, they were pulled up by Yichuan, who was standing on the shore watching them until they were safe. Immediately, a servant came up to help them tidy up their clothes.

Su Yu is the only woman here now, otherwise Jin Xuerong and Xu Jiuyue would not be able to play in the water so happily.

After they sat down, Qingfeng and the others brought out plates of grilled meat and freshly caught crabs. As they were enjoying the delicious food while appreciating the beautiful view, a figure galloped towards them on horseback from a distance.

Su Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the person riding a horse coming from the distance. It was Qiao Si, so everything was fine.

Huaizhi also saw the person coming and immediately stepped forward to stop them, "Fourth sister, why are you so flustered? Can't you see that the masters are having a great time?"

Qiao Si threw the reins into Huaizhi's hand and said with a grin that showed his teeth, "Good news! Terrible news!"

Qiao Si walked up to Su Yu and bowed, unable to conceal his joy. He spoke in a loud and clear voice.

"Congratulations, my lord! The results of the provincial examination are out! You have won the first place! The first place!!!"

Since Su Yu embarked on the path of the imperial examination, Qiao Si has also been taught by Fu Feng and the Qiao sisters to be more stable.

But when he heard the news, no matter how steady he was, he couldn't hide his true nature. He unconsciously raised his voice, which was so loud that people who were nearby almost covered their ears.

An Xun was so shocked when he heard this that he immediately stood up and asked Qiao Si for confirmation, "You said that the Lord is Li Yuan?"

Qiao Si nodded frantically, speaking incoherently with joy.

"That's right! The person who brought the good news went to the Su Mansion. The master was not at home. It was Fu Feng, the housekeeper, who got the news and asked me to come over and tell the master!

When I came out, the entrance to our mansion was full of people, all wanting to share in our master's joy!"

Xu Jiuyue was so happy that she almost jumped up, and Jin Xuerong was very proud to hold Su Yu's arm.

Luo Heng looked at Su Yu's dazzling smile and said, "My wife has won first place again, how amazing!"

Yichuan's eyes sparkled as he looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu was confident about his results, but he was quite surprised to win the first place.

Thus, the leisurely autumn outing ended with the good news, and Su Yu returned with her five husbands in a grand procession.

After returning home, I had to thank my teacher, visit the prefect, and have a classmate banquet. I was exhausted.

This was still due to the reputation of Xu Junlan and Master Gu, so he only attended some banquets that he could not refuse. It was more than half a month before the hype died down.

Teacher Gu called Su Yu once when she just got the news, and this time was the first time Su Yu called her when she was free.

Gu Mansion, study.

Master Gu looked at his top-ranked disciple with satisfaction. While pouring tea for Su Yu, he asked, "Yu'er, are you planning to go to the capital soon?"

Su Yu placed his hand on the edge of the teacup and clasped his fingers in greeting, replying, "Master, your foresight is brilliant. I'm already making preparations, and someone from the mansion has already gone to the capital."

Master Gu nodded in understanding, put down the teapot and pointed to the two large boxes that had been sorted aside.

"These are the books I prepared for you. The journey to Beijing is long, and you must have read most of the books. You probably haven't read these yet, but they can help you pass the time on the way and also help you with the imperial examinations in Beijing. By the way,"

Teacher Gu stood up and walked towards the desk. Su Yu quickly stood up from the tea table and followed him.

Gu Shi took a letter from the desk and handed it to Su Yu, "This is my visiting card. Although I haven't told you much about my senior sister before, I believe you should have heard of her. She was the former tutor of the current emperor.

You are going to Beijing alone this time, and I am really worried. After you settle down in Beijing, I will take my visiting card to visit your uncle.

If you have any questions about your studies, you can ask her. I can feel more at ease knowing your uncle is protecting you."

Su Yu respectfully accepted the invitation with both hands, "Yu'er understands Master's good intentions. I will definitely live up to Master's reputation and pass the exam in one fell swoop!"

Master Gu patted Su Yu's shoulder with satisfaction, "I never doubted whether you could pass the exam. The most important thing for you this time is your sincerity!"

Master Gu walked to the window and looked out at the deep blue autumn sky. "Yu'er, this time in Beijing you will see the most prosperous, yet also the most extravagant and filthy place in the world. The capital is a melting pot. While fame and status are certainly important, what's more important is your true heart."

……

Su Yu pinched the bridge of her nose, put down the book in her hand, opened the car curtain and looked at the sky, thinking of what Master Gu said before leaving.

Seeing Su Yu's tired look, An Xun poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "My dear wife, are you tired? Have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue."

Su Yu took the teacup, took a sip to slow down, and asked with concern, "Xun'er, can you still hold on?"

An Xun was about to speak with a smile when the carriage suddenly shook and stopped.
