Chapter 213 Su Yu seduces Xun Cai? Guo Jia returns to Yingchuan!
"Ziyi, when are we going to send out troops?"
"Cao was getting a headache from waiting all day!"
Hearing this, Su Yu asked in confusion:
"My lord, didn't you just tell Mr. Zhang yesterday that your headaches were almost cured?"
"Is he going to make a mistake again today?"
"My lord, how about this?"
"After we take control of Runan, we will establish a new Xujia Village in Runan."
"There is only one condition for living inside: the woman must be a widow."
"Is Ziyi telling the truth?"
Cao Cao immediately jumped up from his seat.
His mouth was watering, he was practically drooling.
Don't blame our Boss Cao for losing control.
The temptation is just too great!
As is well known, Xujia Village is just a concept and no longer refers to a specific place name.
From today onwards, our Boss Cao has a new dream.
When he retires from his official post, he will live in a beautiful rural village like Xujia Village, where the air is fresh and the scenery is picturesque, to enjoy his retirement.
They saw off the eager Cao Cao.
Having a rare moment of free time, Su Yu carried two boxes of gifts and rode in a carriage to visit the Minister of Rites.
At the gate of the Minister's Mansion
When the gatekeeper saw that it was Su Yu's carriage that had arrived, he was so frightened that he ran and shouted into the mansion:
"Master, that scoundrel, no, that Commandant of the Guards is here!"
"What!?"
"Su Ziyi is here?"
"Quickly! Don't tell anyone I'm in the manor."
Xun Yu was in a flurry of activity, and the pile of official business in front of him was swept away by the wind.
"Wenruo, I heard your voice from far away."
"Does this mean you don't welcome me?"
Su Yu had already walked in on his own.
How could a mere doorman stop him?
Besides, Su Yu was accompanied by Xu Chu. With the doorman's tiny frame, how could he dare to stop Xu Chu?
"Ziyi, what are you saying?"
"I'm so happy that you took the initiative to come and see me!"
Xun Yu gritted his teeth and uttered these words against his will.
This guy has absolutely no sense of self-awareness!
Don't you even look at what kind of junk you bring every time you come here?
Who writes only the title of their thesis?
Do you see that carriage parked at the gate?
Xun Yu knew without guessing that Su Yu must have brought something similar again.
Well, I won't be sleeping tonight either!
Seeing Xun Yu's expression of being wary of a formidable enemy, Su Yu said helplessly:
"Look at you! You're now known as Lord Xun, how can you look down on me, a gentleman, with such a petty mind?"
Xun Yu's eyes widened. He pointed at Su Yu, then at himself.
You? A gentleman?
Me? A villain?
Let's not even discuss whether I'm a villain or not.
What does the word "gentleman" have to do with you?
If you're a gentleman, then even the old men and women causing trouble at the city gate can claim to be great scholars!
Su Yu was very sad.
He felt that Xun Yu's misunderstanding of him was far too deep.
Is he that kind of person?
How could Xun Yu see such a pure, virtuous, and upright gentleman as a scoundrel?
But Su Yu's primary goal today wasn't to argue with Xun Yu, but rather...
Su Yu called out towards the backyard of the Xun residence:
"Cai'er, come out quickly, your brother Ziyi has brought you grapes!"
Grapes were a novel fruit brought back by Zhang Qian during his mission to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty.
Prior to this, there were no grapes in Han territory.
Of course, grapes were not common in the Han Dynasty, and only a very small number of people could afford to eat them.
But for Su Yu, who owned the Mi family's merchant caravan, grapes, which were rare and hard to come by, were something he could eat as many as he wanted.
Oh, by the way, grapes didn't really become widespread until the Tang Dynasty.
Many poets have mentioned grapes in their frontier poems, the most famous being the line "Grape wine in a luminous cup at night".
Hearing Su Yu's call, Xun Cai, who had been hiding in the backyard listening quietly to the commotion in the front yard, blushed slightly but couldn't help running out.
Taking the grapes from Su Yu's hand, Xun Cai smiled sweetly:
"Brother Ziyi, you are so good to me."
Su Yu, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, pinched Xun Cai's chubby cheeks and said to her:
"Isn't it only right to treat Cai'er well?"
"No matter how sweet the grapes are, they can't compare to the sweetness of Cai'er's smile."
Xun Yu: “???”
An anger that rose from the soles of his feet shot straight to the top of Xun Yu's head!
What the hell!
You bastard!
They're tormenting me, making me work through the night on government affairs every day, and that's not enough.
Now they're even targeting my sister?
My sword, Xun Yu's sword, is never dull!
"Thief, take your life!"
Xun Yu took out his sword from the study and made a move to slash at Su Yu.
Of course, this was just to scare Su Yu.
But Xun Yu didn't expect that Xun Cai would stand directly in front of Su Yu and protect him.
For a moment, Xun Yu, the fourth brother, felt as if he had been struck a thousandfold!
"Cai'er, Cai'er, let's go. Let's not play with this boring man who only knows how to handle political affairs."
Su Yu smugly pulled Xun Cai's hand and walked outside.
Xun Yu was so angry that he scratched his head and wanted to rush up and fight Su Yu.
But he also knew that although it was Su Yu who seduced Xun Cai, this matter was actually a scandal.
But Xun Cai's appearance clearly showed that she had also fallen for Su Yu.
Xun Yu was at a loss as to how to handle this matter.
Since there was no other way, I could only write to my father and ask him to come up with a solution.
Su Yu was unaware of this at the moment.
His reputation will soon cause a new uproar in Yingchuan.

颖川
A figure that looked remarkably like a homeless man, but was considerably more handsome, appeared on a country road.
The man carried two gourds on his back, both filled with wine.
Who else could it be but Guo Jia, that good-for-nothing?
To experience the local customs and culture, Guo Jia traveled from Ye City to Yingchuan after leaving Guo Tu, enduring many hardships along the way.
Of course, the main reason was that Guo Jia was poor and couldn't afford to ride in a carriage.
He never had the habit of saving money.
He spent the little money he had left on wine and Wushi powder.
"Oh, how stupid I was."
Guo Jia suddenly slapped his thigh.
Why would I be in such a hurry to go back to Yingchuan?
"I should go to Xuchang first and swindle some, bah, borrow some money from Xun Wenruo."
Guo Jia disliked the snobbish atmosphere within his family.
Even though he was exceptionally intelligent, he mostly showed his roguish side in front of his clansmen.
Guo Tu was one of the few people in the clan who knew his true talent.
But now, Guo Jia has some regrets.
If I had known we would have to go this far, I should have asked Guo Tu for more money.
Now, the person has gone back to Yingchuan, but there's nowhere to scam the money anymore.
Just as Guo Jia was deeply worried, wondering where to swindle money.
A name suddenly popped into his mind!
If you don't go to Xun Yu, you can go to Xun Yu's father!
Like Xun Yu, Xun Yu's father was an honest and kind man.
Surely an honest and kind person wouldn't stand by and watch a talented young man like Guo Jia die, would they?
