Chapter Twenty-Three: Unhappy

Chu Yu told Granny Sun that she must return the booklet to her before dawn. After Granny Sun came down, she hurriedly walked to Gu Yuan's courtyard.

On the way back to the East Courtyard, Chu Yu suddenly felt that he didn't feel good in his heart. She knew that the stakes were high, and this booklet was very important to Gu Yan, it was the first achievement he had made in the Du Yu Division, and now that it was in Gu Yuan's hands, it was tantamount to ruining all the efforts he had put in during this period with his own hands.

Although she made up her mind to agree to Gu Yuan today, when she really did this, she felt very uncomfortable. But she told herself that he was kind to her, and that she was just repaying the favor.

Gu Yan is the third son of Yuwang Mansion, even if Gu Yuan is ruthless, he will not kill him. Thinking like this, Chu Yu's steps would not become more and more flustered.

At dawn the next day, Gu Yan picked up the booklet casually and went to Duyu Division. The process on this booklet is different from previous years, in order to prevent Liu Zhang from following the previous process of corruption and bribery, so that people who are really talented soldiers and generals are buried. Now that he has been leaked out by Chu Yu, he must think of another way to remedy it.

And doing so means that he has to spend more time and energy, but now that the opening day of the martial arts examination is imminent, he not only has to speed up the progress, but also has to bear the risk of being bitten by Liu Zhang.

"Dead maid."

Despite being depressed all night, sitting in the Du Yu Division at the moment, Gu Yan couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Seeing him holding his forehead depressedly, Liu Zhang's face showed a look of triumph, and he said with a smile: "The exam will start in five days, hasn't Master Gu's process been figured out yet?" You are bragging in front of Imperial Envoy Chen Du that this year's exam process is different from the past, and now I am afraid that you will hit your own feet when you release this big talk, right? ”

Gu Yan suppressed the look of sorrow on his face, raised his head and replied with a smile: "Lord Liu, don't worry, Gu will definitely live up to the expectations of the imperial envoy of Chen Du." ”

Seeing that he was still trying to pretend to be a bamboo in his chest, Liu Zhang didn't bother to talk to him, but still laughed and replied: "That official is waiting to watch Lord Gu show his strength." ”

Since the failure to win over Chen Yan, Gu Yuan found Liu Zhang, he clenched the process booklet that had just been passed from Gu Yuan in the morning in his sleeve, and left happily.

After waiting in the courtyard for a long time at night, Chu Yu didn't see Gu Yan come back, she took the boiled chicken soup and resolutely got into the carriage.

After waiting outside Du Yusi, there was a stick of incense, and Gu Yan came out of it. He was wearing a blue official uniform, embroidered with pine and cypress patterns with gold thread on the placket, and white brocade moire on his chest. He walked with his head down, and the shadow of the lamp stretched his shadow long.

"The Third Son."

Hearing the voice of the person in front of him, Gu Yan raised his head and found that she was coming. Chu Yu looked at his good-looking starry eyes, and he didn't know if it was because the night was getting darker or because others were too tired, Chu Yu felt that the light in his eyes seemed to have dimmed a little.

"You're here."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head again and got into the carriage by himself.

Chu Yu held the food box containing chicken soup in his hand, pursed his lips and followed him. After instructing the coachman to go to the house, Chu Yu opened the food box, took out the steaming chicken soup from it, and put it in front of him.

Gu Yan picked up the spoon, scooped the chicken soup and drank it in his mouth, as if he was absent-minded.

"Be careful." Chu Yu said with concern.

"Hmm."

He didn't seem to reply.

Chu Yu knelt down in front of him, and only after a long time did he ask, "Didn't you say that the matter of Wuju is already over?" Why did you come back so late today? ”

Gu Yan's hand scooping chicken soup paused, and after a while, he returned to her as usual: "It's not the exam day yet, so you can't relax for a moment." ”

But didn't they all drink and relax last night?

Chu Yu thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask after all.

But she could feel that he wasn't so happy facing herself.
