The journey was long and people were unpredictable. Su Qin'er suffered a lot along the way. She was cheated out of money and was almost kidnapped by bandits. By the time she stumbled to Kyoto, she had very little money left in her heavy pocket of silver.
When Su Qin'er came to Kyoto, she discovered that it was too big and prosperous. It was not as big as Taoyuan Town. It was very simple to ask people. If she wanted to find Gaochu Mountain here, she would undoubtedly have to find a needle in a haystack.
Harder than reaching the sky.
Su Qin'er's money was simply not enough to sustain her for a few days. In order to survive, she could only wash dishes in a teahouse. Every time she met someone and after talking for a few words, she would ask them if they knew Gao Chushan, the current number one scholar.
, and also asked the other party if he knew where Gao Chushan lived.
Xu's hard work paid off, and she finally got the news about Gao Chushan and learned about Gao Chushan's residence.
After finishing work that day, she ignored her hungry stomach and went straight to Gao Chushan's home.
It was a completely different area from the teahouse where she worked. The streets there were much wider than where she was, the pedestrians on the street were all dressed in fine clothes, and the carriages they drove were much more spacious.
Su Qin'er easily found Gao Chushan's home. She knocked on the door for a long time, but no one paid attention to her. Until a carriage stopped behind her, she turned around after hearing the sound and saw Gao Chushan in brilliant clothes, sitting beside a servant.
With help, he got out of the carriage.
Su Qin'er has always known that Gao Chushan is handsome, but this is the first time she has seen such an overly luxurious Gao Chushan.
She looked straight until the servant saw her standing at the door and scolded her. She came back to her senses. Then the next second she ran to Gao Chushan and hugged him: "Gao Lang."
Gao Chushan instinctively took a step back, avoiding Su Qin'er's embrace.
Su Qin'er looked at her empty hands and frowned: "Gao Lang, what do you mean?"
Gao Chushan looked at her quietly and said nothing.
Su Qin'er looked incredulous: "Gao Lang, don't you recognize me? I am Qin'er. I am your unmarried wife in Taoyuan Town. I..."
Before Su Qin'er could say anything else, Gao Chushan interrupted her: "Qin'er, of course I remember you."
He still had that calm tone, but his voice was a little different from before, but Su Qin'er couldn't tell what was different: "You..."
People were coming and going on the street. Gao Chushan didn't want to be seen. He motioned to the servant to open the door and said to Su Qin'er, "Let's go in and talk."
Su Qin'er retracted her words, "Okay."
After entering the Su Mansion, Gao Chushan took Su Qin'er all the way to the backyard. It was dinner time, and the two of them went directly to the dining room.
With a table full of dishes, Su Qiner saw something was wrong at a glance: "Gao Lang, you didn't eat spicy food before, why are you so addicted to spicy food now?"
Gao Chushan paused for a moment: "After I came to Kyoto, I made many friends. Everyone is addicted to spicy food, and over time they became infected."
Su Qin'er no longer had any doubts.
Gao Chushan was as gentle and considerate as before. When eating, he would pick up vegetables and add soup to her.
Su Qin'er's heart dropped completely. She thought that the two of them had been separated for a long time. Gao Lang had been alone here for such a long time. Some changes were normal. It was because they hadn't seen each other for too long.
