Su Yu chatted with Fan Jian and Liu Ruyu for a few more minutes.
The delicious food had been enjoyed, and the wine had been drunk several times, so the welcoming banquet soon came to an end.
Su Yu noticed that Ruoruo hadn't said much during the banquet.
He just kept his head down, eating the rice in his bowl, occasionally glancing in Su Yu's direction.
However, Su Yu knew that Ruoruo wasn't entirely looking at him today.
Instead, he was gazing at his father, whom he hadn't seen for over a year.
Even if Ruoruo is very mature, she is still only five years old.
Girls of this age are most dependent on their family members.
Having not seen Fan Jian for over a year, I naturally miss him.
Even with one's own father, it's inevitable to feel estranged after a long period of separation.
Fan Jian was not a dull person.
He also noticed this, but, as the saying goes, one feels apprehensive when nearing home.
He was somewhat at a loss as to how to interact with his daughter, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, upon their first meeting.
Su Yu smiled and found an excuse to break the awkward atmosphere between the father and daughter.
Afterwards, Fan Jian took Ruoruo to the study to chat.
I asked Ruoruo how her life and studies had been in Danzhou over the past year.
Ruoruo then began to explain in detail, and gradually the two became acquainted.
Ruoruo also told many interesting stories about Mr. Su teaching her medicine.
For example, the little rabbit she rescued.
How did Teacher Fei instruct my brother to be poisoned unconscious, and how did Mr. Fei teach me to revive him?
Moreover, he was fed carrots by a blind uncle and became increasingly fat.
Fan Jian frowned slightly as he listened.
I was amazed at how powerful that rabbit really was.
But more often than not, it is.
I was slightly surprised by the joy and excitement my five-year-old daughter showed when she talked about medicine.
It's a good thing for people to have goals and things they love.
It's even better to find your goal and your ideal so early.
Thinking of all this, Fan Jian felt a surge of emotion towards that young schoolteacher.
There was also much more praise and gratitude.
Meanwhile, after Versace bowed to Su Yu and took his leave, he...
He turned around and kicked his little legs, then went to Liu Ruyu crying and begging.
"Mom, can I stop going to school?"
"cannot!"
Fan Sizhe sniffed and then tugged at his mother Liu Ruyu's arm.
"But most people don't start their first lessons until they're four years old."
"Mom, I'm not even four years old yet."
Liu Ruyu only had this one son, and in the past, Versace had to beg him for help.
She probably agreed because she felt sorry for herself.
At that moment, Liu Ruyu glared fiercely at her good-for-nothing son.
Even a slow bird knows to fly first, but Sizhe, this kid, all he knows is how to play.
I don't know who he took after.
The silly boy looked completely unwilling, as if he would rather die than study.
If you absolutely must study, then you can postpone it by one year, just one year.
It's infuriating to look at.
Liu Ruyu watched as Fan Sizhe lingered there, relentlessly pleading.
He glanced at the servants behind him and said coldly.
"Go and get the ruler."
"I think someone's itching for a beating again."
Upon hearing this, Versace immediately stood up straight.
Then he quickly ran away and went somewhere else.
Liu Ruyu sighed softly.
That brat really doesn't understand my good intentions at all.
She spent a lot of money.
He begged Mr. Su to come and teach him.
I don't know what a great thing this is.
Fan Ruoruo and her illegitimate son from Danzhou were quite clever in this regard.
They also knew to get closer to Mr. Su and beg him to teach them more.
Versace, however, wanted to use a ruler to drive the person away.
How could I have given birth to such an unlucky thing? My life is so miserable.
After the welcoming banquet at the Fan residence ended, Su Yu left the main hall.
I realized then that it was already dark and night had fallen.
Two maids from the Earl's mansion were already waiting outside.
Seeing him come out, she smiled and walked forward.
He led him through the complex corridors toward his courtyard.
After returning to their lodgings, Dong'er and Sisi prepared tea inside.
As soon as he entered the door, hot tea was immediately served.
Then he served Su Yu, helping her change clothes and take a bath.
After everything was settled, Dong'er and Sisi returned to their bedroom to rest.
The house is right next to Su Yu's, so it's very convenient to call them if I need anything in the evening.
Su Yu stayed alone in the room.
He stretched out a long yawn.
The journey from Danzhou to Kyoto was quite tiring.
Now, I can finally get some rest.
However, before going to sleep, Su Yu opened Fan Xian's stack of 'copying homework' again.
Su Yu had already seen it when she left Danzhou.
This is a section of Dream of the Red Chamber that was copied from memory by Wenpiao Gong.
A letter was also included.
However, I didn't look closely at how many times it was sent, and I didn't open the letter.
After all, the envelope said, "Sir, please open this letter again upon arrival in Kyoto."
Su Yu sat down, opened the envelope, and slowly unfolded it.
"Sir, you must have arrived in Kyoto by now."
The reason I am writing this letter to you is...
The main issue is that there are some things I can't bring myself to say in front of my husband.
【…】
Su Yu glanced at it briefly; it was just a few lines of text scrawled in the dark.
Between the lines, however, there is a strong sense of self-respect and gratitude.
And how reluctant I am to part with it.
Su Yu smiled.
No wonder Fan Xian has such a high literary talent.
She is emotionally rich and sentimental, and her delicate thoughts can be seen from her writing style.
However, it's a bit of an exaggeration to describe it in such a sentimental way.
It's not like we won't see each other again in the future.
Su Yu shook her head and then flipped through the pages again.
【Sir, is Kyoto a very prosperous city?】
[It's definitely much more fun than Danzhou, right?]
"Sir, go out more and get to know Kyoto better."
When I come to Kyoto, I will definitely ask you to show me around.
【…】
I wrote a lot in the middle, all of which were about my longing for Kyoto.
It's clear that Fan Xian really wanted to come over.
