If the young ladies in Kyoto who have not left the cabinet are asked to choose a candidate for a good man, the top one will undoubtedly be the current imperial censor, Su Shiyu.
Su Shiyu came from a prominent background, and his ancestors were all famous generals for three generations. His father Su Jue was the minister of the late emperor. However, his temperament is not at all domineering, he is gentle and elegant, and he has always been gentle and polite when receiving people. It was because the person who thought that his family said he was close, even though he had been politely rejected, still unswervingly wanted to accept him as a good son-in-law.
But Chu Mingyun always felt that Su Shiyu's politeness kept the distance from others just right, seemingly gentle but alienated. He was too lazy to deal with such people, so even if the two of them had been in the same dynasty for many years, and the two parties of Chu and Su were fighting endlessly, he and Su Shiyu were always just nodding acquaintances.
But after that, I'm afraid it has to involve more.
Chu Mingyun stepped out of the main hall, and in the hundred officials who had retreated from the palace and left the palace, he found the figure of the zhilan and jade tree of the husband-in-law in Kyoto at a glance.
"Master Su, stay behind."
Su Shiyu stopped and looked sideways, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Master Chu?"
"Well." Chu Mingyun walked up to him, "I thought about some things for a long time, but I still think I should tell you."
"Please say."
Chu Mingyun took a deep breath and grabbed the hand beside Su Shiyu, "Are you really willing to listen?"
"Why don't you talk about whether you're willing or not, you can just say something." Su Shiyu drew back his hand without a trace, but it was held tighter. He glanced at the officials passing by with a light smile, and continued, "In recent days, It is rumored in Beijing that Lord Chu is very masculine, Su thinks it is better to avoid it."
"You want to avoid suspicion?" Chu Mingyun tilted his head slightly, showing a sad expression, then turned to smile and took advantage of the other party's failure to respond, holding his hand in both hands, and said loudly: "Shiyu, I have been happy with you for a long time. ."
The footsteps of the officials walking on the palace road were suddenly a little unstable.
"..." Su Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then turned to smile as always: "This joke is not interesting, Master Chu..."
"You don't believe me?" Chu Mingyun interrupted him, and tightened his grip again, with a sincere expression on his face, "Heaven and earth can learn from it, I only want to marry... cough... I only want to grow old with you alone, are you willing?"
"I don't want to." Su Shiyu also said sincerely.
"I can guess, so I never dared to show my heart to you in the past." Chu Mingyun did not change his face, "But I finally figured it out recently, even if I can't ask for it, I still have to give it a try."
"Did Master Chu admit the wrong person? You and I have always just been friends of colleagues, when did it become a sea of bitterness?" Su Shiyu laughed.
Chu Mingyun stared at him, "Are you blaming me for not being good enough for you before?"
"I didn't mean it, Master Chu was over-hearted." Su Shiyu forcibly pulled out his hand.
"I don't blame you if you don't believe me now. In the future, I will definitely prove to you that Shiyu, my heart is true." Chu Mingyun put his hand in his sleeve and pinched himself, and his words were affectionate.
Su Shiyu's smile suddenly deepened, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said gently, "Are you sick?"
"Lovesickness." Chu Mingyun replied decisively.
"I'm sorry." Su Shiyu nodded, then turned and left.
"I'll wait for you to change your mind." Chu Mingyun looked at him affectionately, until the figure of the other party disappeared, then he restrained his expression and evoked a chuckle. He let the complicated gazes of various officials swept over him without hesitation, and recalled what he had just said in his heart, feeling that although his acting skills were a little exaggerated, the effect was very significant and he was quite satisfied.
Master Chu's steps out of the palace gate today were a bit brisk.
It was a quiet summer, and the guards guarding the gate of the Su Mansion couldn't help raising his head, squinting his eyes and enjoying the bright sunlight. He crossed the halberd to stop the figure rushing towards the mansion, and asked sharply, "Who is it?"
The visitor stopped and didn't bump into it, panting on his knees and raising his face, revealing a handsome young face. Su Bai wiped the sweat from his head, "It's me!"
The guard recognized that it was the young master's personal attendant, and hurriedly collected the weapons. After apologizing, he couldn't help teasing and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, you lost that young master?"
"Fuck you." Su Bai was annoyed, "Something has happened, what about your son?"
"I saw the young master heading towards the study just now, so he should still be there."
Su Bai immediately rushed towards the study, pushing the door without stopping, and said anxiously, "Young Master! The big thing is bad!"
The two people in the room stopped talking and turned to look over. When they saw the middle-aged man beside their son, Su Bai's feet softened, and he lowered his head and closed his mouth.
The housekeeper Su Yi turned around and bowed to Su Shiyu, saying: "Then the subordinate will retire first." After Su Shiyu nodded in agreement, Su Yi walked up to Su Bai, frowned and scolded: "No courtesy, frizzy. What are you talking about!"
Su Bai lowered his head, "Father..."
Because of Su Shiyu's presence, Su Yi didn't say much, glared at him as a warning and left.
Su Shiyu just stood behind the desk and smiled softly, "I didn't even know who was there before I came, and I was scolded again, didn't I?"
Only then did Su Bai raise his head, touched his nose, and said sternly, "It's better for you, son." He stepped forward and saw Su Shiyu holding a post in his hand, "What is this?"
"The invitation sent by Song Heng, the champion of the new division, he will have a feast in a few days." Su Shiyu put the invitation aside, "I saw his speech was smooth and upright during the palace examination, but he is a person to know."
"Oh." Su Bai nodded.
"What did you want to say just now, what happened?" Su Shiyu asked.
"Oh!" Su Bai suddenly returned to his senses and hurriedly said, "Everyone outside said that Taiwei Chu misses you!"
Su Shiyu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "It's just nonsense."
"Yes, but it's spread all over the teahouse! Mr. Chu is now sparing no effort in collecting your preferences. He even knows where you've been, and even the Meiji in the mansion has been dispatched to clean up..." Su Bai With a tangled face, "This subordinate thinks... it doesn't look like it's fake."
"I haven't had much contact with him, and now I suddenly say that I miss me, will you believe it?" Su Shiyu looked up at him.
Su Bai nodded, and after meeting Su Shiyu's gaze, he quickly shook his head.
"Rumours and rumors, let them go. Deliberately refuting the suspicion that it is inevitable to cover up, it is better to wait for it to dissipate on its own."
"No way, son!" Su Bai said anxiously: "It will be difficult for you to get married in the future if you go on like this! You haven't married yet, and now that this has happened, I don't know if others will misunderstand you as... just look at Chu In this battle of the captain, which girl would dare to marry in the future!"
"...Your point is not right." Su Shiyu sighed, seeing that he looked like he was on fire, and reluctantly reached out to take out the jade pendant in his sleeve, "Then you ordered..."
"No! Young Master, you don't know how far they are talking!" Su Bai hurriedly interrupted him, and then blushed and swallowed for a long time before he finally said: "They said that Young Master is stern and righteous, then Chu Mingyun is in bed. On the top...mostly on the bottom."
"..." Su Shiyu withdrew his hand, took the tea unhurriedly, "Oh", and said with a light smile, "Isn't this complimenting me? It's just idle talk, why should you care."
Su Bai's face turned surprised and complicated, and finally became admiration after realizing it, "Young Master, you really have an extraordinary bearing!"
"Don't mention this." Su Shiyu smiled, "Where's the person who asked you to pick it up?"
"I see, just behind, it should have arrived by now."
