Chapter 222 Small 3 Yuan
Perhaps it's because of the year's inauspicious Tai Sui, but for the past six months since the beginning of the year, there hasn't been a single moment of peace. Before one incident has settled, another arises, leaving one feeling overwhelmed. At this moment, Ru Yue and Feng Ying sat quietly in the Lanyue Pavilion of Tianxiang Tower, their eyes glazed over, as if lost in thought.
"Miss, are you worried about the young master?" Feng Ying stared at Ru Yue's ever-changing expression, truly confused. Her behavior today was unusual. Could it be that, as they say, worry can lead to confusion? Feng Ying pondered for a moment and said reassuringly, "Don't worry. Even Lord Huo has asserted that the young master will definitely pass the imperial examination this time!"
Fengying's words suddenly interrupted Ruyue's drifting thoughts. Facing Fengying's concerned question, Ruyue felt she couldn't fully explain the reason. For a person, being able to live a simple and pure life is truly a blessing.
She did not want to confide too much to Fengying, so as not to disturb his precious innocent heart.
While the two were silent, there was suddenly a loud noise.
"Miss, listen up! It seems Master Xie has been admitted!" Feng Ying beamed with joy, raising his voice excitedly to announce the good news to Ru Yue. "Miss, you can finally rest assured now. Master Xie managed to place 17th on the exam, so our Master is sure to do even better. He might even win first place!"
Fengying didn't care that she didn't get a response from Ru Yue. She leaned forward slightly and tried to look downstairs.
This action made Ru Yue, who was standing nearby, gasp for air. She muttered to herself, "This little girl is so reckless. I'm really worried she'll flip out of the window if she's not paying attention."
The sounds of good news and congratulations coming from downstairs were like waves, one higher than the other. Even Ru Yue, who was on the top floor, could hear them clearly.
"Fengying, even if we don't go over to see, we can still know the rankings when the results are announced." Ru Yue couldn't help but persuade him.
Fengying, however, acted as if she hadn't heard him. She continued to stare out the window, muttering, "We've already announced up to fifth place, and why isn't our young master's name on the list yet? Don't worry, young lady. Aren't there still several people whose names haven't been announced yet? I believe our young master will definitely make it to the top of the list."
After saying that, Fengying continued to watch the movements downstairs intently, muttering to himself, as if this could speed up the unveiling of the list.
At this moment, there was a sudden and rapid knock on the door, "Knock knock knock~~~" The sound was like dense drumbeats, which made people panic.
Before Ru Yue could react, she heard someone outside the door shouting at the top of their lungs, "Girl, great news! Great news! The young master has passed! The young master has won first place in the court exam!"
"Ah! The young master won the first place!" Fengying shouted excitedly and rushed to the door like a gust of wind.
Her figure moved at a dizzying speed, as if she wanted to convey the joy to the outside in an instant.
Ah Xi was about to speak to Ru Yue, but a loud announcement came in first: "Young Master Chu Ning'an of Kunyang Town has won first place in this academy examination. Congratulations, Mr. Chu!"
The sound was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears and shaking the entire room.
Chu Ning'an actually won! And just as he had confidently told Ru Yue before, he would definitely win a small prize.
Thinking of this, a touch of delicate and charming bright red quietly appeared on Ru Yue's pretty face, just like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, so beautiful.
At this moment, An Er's voice drifted in from outside the door. "Young lady, the Master asked me to tell you that the Academic Commissioner has invited the top ten students from the academy exam to discuss academic matters this afternoon. He will also host a banquet for all the successful students in the evening. He asked you to go back early and not wait for him."
Fengying didn't wait for Ru Yue to respond, and said loudly and impatiently: "I know, I know, I will accompany the girl back later." After that, she quickly sent An Er away.
Seeing this, Ru Yue slowly stood up, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips, and said softly, "Let's go. Now that we know your young master's ranking, we should go back."
After she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked out the door with her graceful back, like a fairy descending to earth, which was intoxicating.
......
At the end of the Mao hour, the stars twinkled and everything was silent, with only a few clear bird calls occasionally breaking the tranquility.
After washing up, Ru Yue put on a thin middle-length shirt and sat down slowly beside the lamp in front of the desk, carefully writing a detailed plan for the future development of "Ming Yue Dian" on a piece of white paper.
Her long hair, like a waterfall, cascaded freely over her shoulders, swaying slightly as she bent her head to write. The moonlight filtered through the window lattice, illuminating her figure as she wrote furiously, creating a beautiful and tranquil scene.
Chu Ningan stood quietly in the yard, his eyes passing through the half-open window and falling directly on the pretty figure.
He just stared like that, as if time had stopped.
The moonlight shone on him, outlining his tall and slender figure.
A faint and extremely warm smile quietly rose on his lips. This smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, which made people's hearts ripple.
He gently pushed open the door of the study, and a slight "creak" sound instantly broke the original quiet atmosphere in the room.
Ru Yue, who was concentrating on writing, was startled by the sudden noise and subconsciously raised her head. When her eyes met Chu Ning'an, who was dressed in blue at the door, both of them were stunned.
Chu Ning'an was wearing a long, cyan gown today, which only accentuated his refined and elegant demeanor. A faint smile still lingered on the corner of his lips, while his deep eyes were filled with an inextricable tenderness.
For a moment, the two of them just stared at each other in a daze, neither of them willing to look away from the other's face, as if they wanted to freeze this moment forever.
After a long while, Chu Ningan was the first to break the silence. He asked softly, "Ruyue, I got it."
The voice was as gentle as a breeze passing by the ear, lingering and affectionate, as if it condensed all the tenderness and love in the world.
Ru Yue blushed slightly when she heard that. She slowly stood up and walked to Chu Ning'an with light steps. She reached out and took his hand, leading him into the study.
When she got close to him, Ru Yue smelled a faint aroma of alcohol from him, which mixed with his unique scent and had an indescribable charming charm.
"Can I ask Fengying to bring you some sobering soup?" Ru Yue looked at him with concern, a hint of care in her eyes.
Chu Ning'an gently took Ru Yue's soft, boneless hand and carefully placed it on his broad, warm back. He lowered his head slightly, resting his chin gently on the top of her head, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world, and he was afraid that he would lose it if he was not careful.
He stretched out his arms, gently but powerfully wrapped them around her slender and soft waist, as if protecting a delicate flower, and held her tightly in his strong and broad arms, his eyes revealing deep affection and doting.
"Ruyue, can we get married after you reach the age of 15?" Chu Ning'an's deep and mellow voice sounded in Ruyue's ears, with endless tenderness and sweetness.
Over the past year or so, Ru Yue's figure had grown much taller, like a young willow branch in spring. However, even so, when she stood in front of Chu Ning'an, she still didn't reach his shoulders.
She tilted her rosy, pink face upward, blinking her large, watery, and lively eyes, as charming and enchanting as peach blossoms. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile as bright and moving as a spring flower. In that instant, it felt as if the entire study was illuminated by her smile, ablaze with light.
Seeing this, Chu Ning'an's heart surged with love. He slowly lowered his head, gently touching her smooth, jade-like forehead, and placed a kiss filled with love and tenderness. He increased the strength in his hands a little more, holding her tightly in his arms, as if wanting to rub her into his body, merge her into the depths of his soul, and never separate from her.
