After dismissing the maid, Sisi's face instantly lit up with a smile again.
Su Yu shook her head and couldn't help but smile.
"Are you happy now?"
Sisi blushed slightly, pursed her lips, and said coquettishly.
“Oh, sir.”
"Sisi just doesn't want them all to come over."
She tilted her head, her eyebrows curving beautifully.
"Sisi wants to be the master's closest personal maid."
As I said this, I couldn't help but think of something else.
The blush on her face deepened.
Sisi is not a little girl who doesn't understand anything.
In wealthy and powerful families, maids are always taught how to be maids.
She listened to it; she hadn't understood before.
Now that I'm older, I understand things a little better.
She knew that as the master's maid, that day would come sooner or later.
And she, too, was somewhat looking forward to that day.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and teased.
Are you the closest?
"And what about your sister Dong'er?"
"You and Dong'er have always been close."
"Be careful she doesn't hear this and cause you trouble."
Su Yu always loved to tease this charming and clever young girl.
Today, she happened to be jealous of the maid next to her.
Su Yu was even more tempted to tease her.
Sisi snorted.
"Oh, sir, Sister Dong'er is the best."
"She won't be angry with me."
"And... the closest ones can be two, right?"
Su Yu smiled, reached out, and pinched the little girl's tender cheek.
After washing up, Su Yu sat quietly in the courtyard for a while.
It must be said that Wang Qinian chose a really good house.
In the small courtyard where Su Yu lived, the air was thick with the scent of spring, so much so that it seemed to drip with moisture.
A few apricot blossoms in the corner swayed gently in the spring breeze, as if whispering secrets to it.
A small path paved with bluestone slabs leads out of the courtyard.
It still retained the moisture from last night's spring rain, glistening with tiny sparkles.
Several carefully arranged potted flowers bloomed with vibrant colors in the morning light.
These were a few pots that Lao Wang had given me before, and some that I bought from Lao Jin later.
Su Yu nodded, marveling at Old Jin's skill in processing flowers, herbs, and fruits.
It's comparable to the bamboo weaving skills of a blind man!
The spring breeze gently caressed my face, carrying a touch of warmth and a faint fragrance of flowers.
Su Yu sat there quietly, feeling a sense of peace and contentment.
After a while, Dong'er brought out the lotus root and pork rib porridge she had cooked.
Yesterday, Su Yu mentioned that she wanted to drink this soup.
Dong'er went to instruct the kitchen early in the morning, and then stood there watching intently for a long time.
Su Yu took a sip and nodded in satisfaction.
Dong'er also smiled.
Su Yu was drinking a steaming, fragrant lotus root and pork rib porridge.
Then a maid came from outside to report.
"Sir, Manager Wang Qinian has arrived."
Because Wang Qinian managed the bookstore and clinic for Su Yu, acting as their manager.
Therefore, the servants in the mansion addressed Wang Qinian as Manager Wang.
Su Yu was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but gradually she got used to it.
Wang Qinian walked over quickly, his face beaming with smiles.
"Brother Su, congratulations, congratulations!"
"He won first place in the imperial examination and became the top scholar."
"He is also the most popular candidate to be the top scholar in this year's imperial examination!"
"Brother Su, you have a bright future ahead of you!"
Wang Qinian actually received the news a few days ago, right after the results of the imperial examinations were released.
After all, he was a clerk at the Censorate.
They were always the first to know any news in Kyoto.
Upon hearing the news, he immediately wanted to visit the Su residence.
Unfortunately, the clinic was busy the past two days, so I can only come to congratulate you today.
Wang Qinian smiled, his eyes crinkling and his face full of wrinkles, and continued.
"When Wang first met Brother Su, he immediately noticed that Su had come out."
"Brother Su is no ordinary person; he will surely achieve great things in the future!"
"Tsk tsk, just as I predicted."
"Now, Brother Su can easily become the top scholar in the imperial examination!"
"When has the Qing Kingdom ever produced such a young champion?"
"Brother Su, you are absolutely number one!"
Before Su Yu could even interject, Wang Qinian continued speaking.
"Moreover, Brother Su is not only the youngest champion."
"Still the youngest and most promising miracle doctor!"
"It's clear that Brother Su's talent and genius are astonishing!"
"I am far inferior to Brother Su, and I admire him greatly!"
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs-up with both hands.
Nowadays, the whole of Beijing is talking about Su Yu and praising her.
Wang Qinian had heard quite a bit along the way.
He chuckled after hearing that.
Unfortunately, none of them knew Su Yu.
It's best to flatter someone face-to-face.
He couldn't miss this golden opportunity to flatter someone.
Su Yu intended to reply politely, but then saw Wang Qinian launch into a tirade.
He couldn't get a word in edgewise anyway.
He simply lowered his head and continued drinking his porridge.
Finally, I've finished showering everyone with compliments.
Su Yu nodded and smiled.
"Brother Wang is too kind. Brother Wang is too modest."
"Brother Wang is also a talented person."
A master of flattery and sycophancy, an absolute talent.
Wang Qinian chuckled and waved his hand modestly.
Then he looked down and saw that Su Yu was drinking pork rib porridge.
Wang Qinian's eyes then stopped moving.
Besides offering his congratulations, he also came to report on the clinic's recent progress.
While giving his report, he kept his eyes fixed on the fragrant porridge.
Wang Qinian sniffed.
"Brother Su, this porridge..."
"It is truly crystal clear and is by no means an ordinary object."
"Only such porridge is worthy of an extraordinary young master like Brother Su!"
Su Yu couldn't help but smile.
