The all-round coser bravely challenges the female supremacy!

An elegant private room on the second floor of the favorite restaurant of the young masters of the noble families in Beijing.

"Pei Yu, what are you looking at? The food is here, come and have your meal." The person who spoke was named Guo Ruilin, the legitimate son of Minister Guo who had passed by Su Yu who had just arrived in Beijing yesterday.

Guo Ruilin looked at Pei Yu, who was leaning against the window, dressed up in fancy clothes. He was fanning himself with a small peacock fan in his hand. His eyes, bright as stars, were probably looking at some stall downstairs.

Hearing him being called, Pei Yu turned to look at Guo Ruilin, walked over and sat down bored.

"Alas, I'm tired of seeing all these little things in the capital. The silk cords, hairpins, and even the patterns on the clothes are all the same old styles. I don't know when they'll come out with something new."

Guo Ruilin looked at Pei Yu's disappointed expression and said jokingly, "New things come to fashion in the capital faster than you get tired of them!"

Pei Yu picked up his chopsticks and looked at the signature dish of the restaurant in front of him. He picked up a piece of food with disdain.

"The food is the same. There's nothing fresh about it. It's the same old seasonal dishes over and over again. I'm getting tired of them. I think we should go to a different place next time."

Guo Ruilin scolded with a smile, "You are the only one who is nosy. I think this braised sea bass tastes pretty good." He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and tasted it carefully.

Pei Yu put down his chopsticks and leaned his head to look at Guo Ruilin who was enjoying his meal. He kept fanning with his peacock fan.

"You just like sweet and sour food. You don't like braised food!"

Guo Ruilin glared at Pei Yu, "You're the only one who knows clearly!"

Pei Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Guo Ruilin. "Tell me, what exactly did you call me here for today? Why did you come all the way to this restaurant? You know I'm tired of the food here. I'd rather go to that new restaurant in Beijing!"

Guo Ruilin wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and looking at Pei Yu who was becoming increasingly impatient, he said without further elaboration,

"Do you know Su Yu?"

Pei Yu waved his fan and said nonchalantly, "I know. It's just the little Sanyuan who presented sweet potatoes. He's got a reputation with the emperor. Everyone in the capital with a little power knows him."

Guo Ruilin leaned closer to Pei Yu and said mysteriously, "The latest news is that she not only won the third place in the imperial examination, but she also won the first place in the provincial examination in August this year!"

Pei Yu looked at Guo Ruilin, who was beaming with joy, and asked in confusion, "What makes you think I'm curious about Su Yu?"

Guo Ruilin shook his head, looking like he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk.

"I'm not saying that I want you to be curious about her, but I am a little curious about her! I think I ran into her yesterday! She seemed to have just arrived in the capital yesterday, and she lives next door to my grandparents!"

Pei Yu curled his lips and said nothing, waiting for Guo Ruilin to continue.

"You said she lives next door to my grandparents. It's okay for me to visit her, right?" Guo Ruilin winked at Pei Yu. "Why don't you come with me?"

Pei Yu curled his lips and sneered, "Why, is it the Second Princess's request? Is there no one left in the Shangshu Mansion? You, a legitimate son, are being asked to pay a visit. But it's just a newly arrived top scholar. Is it worth it for your Shangshu Mansion to go to such great lengths? Aren't there enough top scholars in the Western Dynasty?"

Guo Ruilin was so frightened when he heard Pei Yu's words that he quickly covered his mouth. Pei Yu dodged backwards and slapped Guo Ruilin's hands with the peacock fan in his hand.

"What are you doing! Take your dirty hands away!"

Seeing that he stopped talking nonsense, Guo Ruilin stopped trying to cover his mouth and rolled his eyes in disgust and sat down.

"That's not the Second Princess's request. I'm just curious about Su Yu. Don't always bring the Second Princess up. Even if you hate her and want to marry you, you can't be so blatant! She's a member of the royal family!"

"Stop! Don't spread rumors. We in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion never take sides. Don't talk nonsense about the Second Princess's husband!" Pei Yu waved the peacock fan in his hand very quickly.

Guo Ruilin said helplessly, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Are you really not going to accompany me to see this Su Yu?"

Pei Yu patted Guo Ruilin's head lightly with the peacock fan. "You, you! I really don't know why you are curious about her, and why you are so anxious.

She won't run away from there. She will eventually take part in the imperial examination. It will be the same if she waits until after the joint examination and palace examination next year. Who knows what ranking Su Jieyuan will get? It's still too early to decide!

If you rush off now, be careful not to let gossip spread and let your Second Princess blame you for the Shangshu Mansion!"

Guo Ruilin was poured a basin of cold water by Pei Yu, and his curiosity was almost extinguished, but he still knew the seriousness of the matter.

Most of the noble families in the capital also have the same intention. How well they try to win over Su Yu and how hard they try will depend on the ranking of the imperial examination next year.

The aristocratic families actually didn't care much about such a small Jieyuan. After all, their huge families had many talents cultivated by themselves.

The reason why he paid some attention to Su Yu was simply because she had a reputation with the emperor, and sweet potatoes were now the cornerstone of the Western Dynasty!

If she really did rank well in the imperial examination and became an official in the court, just based on the fact that she presented sweet potatoes as a gift, as long as she didn't do anything extremely stupid, then her official career would be smooth sailing!

Which force would not be jealous of such an official who is destined to have a bright future!

In the capital, the study of the Su Mansion.

Su Yu was sorting through the boxes of books he had brought with him when Qiao Da stood at the open door, knocked, and called out, "Master, you called me?"

Su Yu turned around and saw her dressed in a tight outfit, looking very heroic and said with a smile,

"The capital is all about nurturing people. You've only been here a few days, but you already exude an air of nobility."

Qiao laughed loudly, "Master, please don't tease me. I've only been here for a short time. It's not as exaggerated as you say."

"Haha, of course not. Wait until Qiao Wuhuaizhi and the others come over and let them tell you everything. Okay, I won't chat with you any more. I have something I need you to do."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Da bowed and said solemnly, "Master, please speak."

"Go and find out when Grand Tutor Guo Niansu is free. Before leaving, my master was worried that I would have no one to teach me in the capital, so he wrote a letter asking my uncle to answer my questions. Now that I'm in the capital, I should pay him a visit as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Da agreed and turned around to go do his work. He happened to meet An Xun coming in with a bowl of Tremella and Snow Pear Soup. Qiao Da bowed and left easily.

Su Yu came forward upon seeing this, took the tray from An Xun's hand, and placed it on the table. "Why did you bring it here by yourself? Where's Qingfeng?"

An Xun followed Su Yu into the study, "I asked him to do something else. It's just a bowl of soup, not heavy.

The weather has been dry these days, so my wife should drink a bowl of Tremella and Snow Pear Soup to moisten her lungs." An Xun said as he picked up the Tremella and Snow Pear Soup from the tray that Su Yu had just placed on the table and handed it to Su Yu.
