"Old Wang, that potted plant... did you give it to me?"

Wang Qinian laughed, revealing his stark white teeth. (The last part, "韭," appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

"Congratulations, Brother Su, on moving to your new home." (Liu)

"Of course, Mr. Wang will send some congratulatory gifts."

I know what Su Yu is curious about.

Wang Qinian chuckled and explained. (Sulfur)

"Those potted plants were bought from a vegetable farmer called Old Jin." (Mio)

"It's not expensive, I'll just support Old Jin's business."

"After I bought it, my wife thought it looked a bit messy, so she trimmed it herself."

"That's why I sent it over to Brother Su."

"It's all from Mr. Wang and his wife."

"May you have a smooth and successful life after joining our household, and may your future be bright and promising!"

Su Yu smiled.

"Ah."

"Thank you."

That makes sense, even though Wang Qinian is stingy to an extreme.

But he is still a kind person.

Otherwise, when Danbo Bookstore opened, it wouldn't have attracted so many melon seed aunties.

But Old Jin, why does that name sound so familiar?

It shouldn't be the old man with gold hair I remember.

As far as I can remember, Wang Qinian shouldn't know him.

Of course, it could also be due to my own arrival.

It's normal that the original trajectory has changed somewhat.

Su Yu was somewhat puzzled.

"A vegetable farmer? And he sells bonsai too?"

Wang Qinian sighed.

"Old Jin's family is poor."

“His daughter is sick again, and seeing a doctor and buying medicine both cost money.”

"He doesn't make much money selling vegetables."

He heard that selling potted plants was more expensive and made money faster, so he grew some to sell.

Su Yu nodded.

"Hmm, I think this potted plant is quite nice."

"From now on, I'll buy all the potted plants in my house from him."

Wang Qinian understood immediately, and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting.

"Then I thank Brother Su for his kindness on behalf of Old Jin."

After saying that, Wang Qinian clicked his tongue in amazement and shook his head.

"Brother Su is truly kind-hearted and unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness."

"Being charitable and generous leads to accumulating good deeds..."

Su Yu chuckled.

"Not as good as my brother, the king."

The two chatted about some lively things in the capital before Wang Qinian took his leave.

Day two.

For the housewarming banquet, Dong'er and Sisi led the servants out early in the morning to buy a lot of ingredients.

I spent the whole morning preparing for today's housewarming party.

Su Yu hadn't been in Beijing for long and didn't know many people.

That is, the Fan family, the Wang family, and the other candidates who took the imperial examination together.

"Mr. Su, congratulations on moving into your new home."

Congratulations, Brother Su, on your new home!

"Brother Su, congratulations."

"..."

The majority of the attendees were candidates for the imperial examinations, and they arrived in twos and threes.

While touring Su Yuxin's new residence, I was impressed by Su's lavish lifestyle.

At the banquet, toasts were exchanged and drinks were poured, creating a lively atmosphere.

They then asked each other how they felt after the imperial examination, and what their thoughts were on the matter.

Some people also mentioned that the current prime minister, Lin Ruofu, wanted to take Su Yu as his protégé.

I don't know if it was a casual question or if it was asked on behalf of someone else.

Su Yu simply smiled casually, without saying a word.

Ruoruo and Versace didn't know any of these people, so there was nothing to talk about.

They simply sat down next to Wang Qinian, and the group ate their food in silence.

Before long, the housewarming party officially ended, and everyone dispersed to go home.

Only Wang Qinian, Ruoruo, and Fan Sizhe remained in the Su residence.

Versace then mysteriously took out his gift again and smiled.

"Sir, guess what wonderful gift I gave you?"

The way he spoke was three parts joy and seven parts pride.

He seemed quite pleased with the gift.

Su Yu smiled slightly and shook her head.

"I don't know."

Versace smiled with a slightly coquettish tone.

"Sir, take a guess."

Before Su Yu could speak, Wang Qinian put his hand on his chin.

He pointed to the box and said confidently.

"It must be a set of the finest writing implements."

There's no need to guess.

Su Yu was a scholar, and Versace was his student.

Of course, it would be to give the gentleman some writing implements, such as brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

The abacus Su Yu gave him last time was gold.

Then this set of writing implements must also be an excellent quality.

Ruoruo nodded in agreement.

He then glanced at Versace and showed some admiration.

It turned out to be exactly what I had originally thought.

But she knew.

Previously, Fan Xian, the elder brother, had already gifted the teacher a set of excellent writing implements.

I decided to send something else.

Therefore, what she gave him was a jade chessboard.

I've seen you play chess with both hands before, so I suppose you enjoy playing chess.

Versace frowned and rolled his eyes at Wang Qinian.

"I'm telling you guys, aren't you being vulgar?"

"All you ever think about when giving gifts are these kinds of things."

"Vulgar, unbearably vulgar."

Wang Qinian chuckled.

"Come on, let us take a look."

"What special gift would Young Master Fan like to give your husband?"

Su Yu watched the two of them start again, smiled, and flicked her sleeve.

"Sizhe, just open it and let's take a look together."

Versace nodded with a smug smile and began to unpack the gift box.

Then, when the gift box was opened, another moment of silence fell over the room…

Wang Qinian was stunned.

Then he silently gave a thumbs up.

"Young Master Sizhe is indeed extraordinary!"

Ruoruo looked on incredulously, then angrily retorted.
