Chapter 190 Henpecked
This was the first time that Su Jiuyue had said something harsh to Wu Xiyuan, but Wu Xiyuan was not angry at all. Instead, he felt indescribably satisfied.
"Honey, don't worry. I will be good and won't see them anymore!" He swore to the God.
Su Jiuyue snorted, "That's more like it. There are still two months left before the the Provincial Examination. You should focus on studying now."
Wu Xiyuan knew that after what had happened today, everyone in town might said that he was a henpecked husband.
But he didn't care what others would say, because it was true that he was afraid of his wife.
He was afraid that she would lead a life of privation, and that she would be angry and sad and leave him.
"Okay, but before that, I have to go to the Kong family."
Hearing this, Su Jiuyue remembered that Su Yi had introduced Wu Xiyuan to the Kong family so that he could learn from Mr. Kong.
"Yes, you should go. Now that you have passed the provincial examination, you should take the chance no matter why Mr. Kong had agreed before."
"You are right, honey. That's exactly what I think!"
Su Jiuyue advised Wu Xiyuan on going to Su Yi for help, but Wu Xiyuan rejected it.
"Honey, you don't understand. Scholars are arrogant. If they are reluctant to help, they won't do it even if general Su comes about. What's more, it will make general Su embarrassed. Besides, we can't always trouble general Su and his daughter. We'd better find a way by ourselves!"
Hearing what he said, Su Jiuyue also thought it was not a good idea to bother them again, but she had her own worries. "What if Mr. Kong rejects you?"
Wu Xiyuan grinned, "It doesn't matter. I can pass the exam on my own!"
Su Jiuyue liked him being confident, as if everything was under his control.
She looked up at him with a smile. "I believe you."
Su Jiuyue asked him to ride a horse, but he refused, saying that a trade group in town would take him there for free.
After watching him leave the city gate, Su Jiuyue went back home with the food she bought along the way.
When she was close to home, she saw two people standing at the door.
She was too far away to see clearly who it was, so she quickened her pace and walked closer.
The person in the distance seemed to have seen her and waved at her happily. "Yue! You're finally home!"
As soon as the woman spoke, Su Jiuyue also recognized her. "Chunxi!"
She ran towards Chunxi with the basket.
'Why does Chunxi come with a man? Who is he? No one told me that she's engaged.'
Su Jiuyue subconsciously thought of eloping and wondered if Chunxi would do such a stupid thing.
When she walked to the door, Chunxi gave her a big hug. "Yue! I miss you so much! Guo Ruowu joked that one day in my life apart from you seems like three years!"
Leaning on Chunxi's shoulder, Su Jiuyue looked at the man standing behind her, Guo Ruowu.
He was the geomancer in her mother's village.
"Indeed! It's so nice of you to think of me and visit me!"
Chunxi was still hugging her and wouldn't let go. "Of course. And I also brought you delicious food!"
"We are good friends, and you don't have to be so polite." said Su Jiuyue.
Jiang Chunxi pouted with dissatisfaction. "You're the one who's being polite. I knew that you like eating green bean cake, so I made some for you. But if you say so, I will take them away!"
"No, you can't. Since you have brought it, there is no reason for you to take it back! It's all mine!" said Su Jiuyue in a hurry.
Chunxi was happy again. "Well, let us in. We have been waiting for you for a long time. I want to see your new house. What took you so long? "
Su Jiuyue let go of Chunxi's hand and turned to open the door. "Xiyuan is going to town today. I went to see him off just now, so you missed me. If you come any other time, I must be at home."
It was the first time for Jiang Chunxi to come to her yard. She looked around curiously and clicked her tongue.
"Finally, you are living a good life. This is great!"
When Chunxi was looking around, Guo Ruowu was also observing.
He thought that this Su Jiuyue was so strange, because she didn't look like this before, but now, she had the look of riches and honor, and the golden light of her merits was so strong that he was almost blind.
'Did this woman experience something magical?' He wondered.
He stood aside silently and looked at the furnishings in the yard. They were just ordinary pieces, and it was obvious that they were placed casually.
Clearly, the owner of this house was not a geomancer like Guo Ruoyuan, so it was even more difficult to explain. No matter how hard he tried, he could not figure out why an ordinary person would have such a golden light of merits.
Su Jiuyue glanced at Guo Ruowu casually, and found that his brows had never been relaxed since he saw her.
She asked Jiang Chunxi in a low voice, "Chunxi, tell me the truth. Why did you come to town with Guo Ruoyan?"
Chunxi was confused. "You may not believe, but we happened to meet in town. I said I wanted to visit you, so he came with me."
Su Jiuyue invited them to have a sit in the house and made tea for them.
Out of curiosity, Guo Ruowu asked, "Mrs. Su, have you met any strange things lately?"
Before Su Jiuyue could say anything, Chunxi started babbling, "What strange things? Jiuyue is married. Don't try to attract her attention like this!"
Guo Ruowu's forehead twitched. If he knew where Su Jiuyue lived, he wouldn't have to come with such a noisy girl!
Su Jiuyue didn't know why Guo Ruowu asked this question, but she thought it was normal for him. After all, he was a geomancer.
"Nothing strange. It's all the same as usual."
Guo Ruowu knew that he couldn't get any answer, so he just remembered her birthday and name, thinking that he would ask again when he got a chance.
"All right. You are in good luck recently. It seems that walking by the water will be good for you." He said casually.
Susan was stunned. Thinking that she was going to sell purses, she planned to find a place near the water later.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo. I'll keep that in mind."
Guo Ruowu curtsied to her and left in a hurry.
