Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Cheng spent the night at home and woke up before dawn the next day.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the backyard and saw her youthful and handsome father practicing martial arts in the open space. She couldn’t help but be puzzled. “Dad, why are you up so early?”

Su Cheng retracted his fist and scratched his head. “Ah, I’ve been up early these few days. I seem to be used to it. Sleep a little longer. I’ll go out to buy breakfast later. You don’t have to cook.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “It’s fine. I can’t sleep anyway.”

Su Ergou knew that she might be very busy in the next few days, so he suspended the Directorate’s order business.

She did not have to do much today. It did not take much effort.

She made mung bean cake and Ergou pancakes with meat floss filling. ????????????????ℯ????d. ????????????

Breakfast was millet porridge and chives egg pancakes.

During dinner, she talked about finding a craftsman.

“I want to partition the back room. I’ve drawn the blueprint. I need a lot of partitions. Let’s find a carpenter first.”

Dahu suddenly looked up. “Mother, for the carpenter, you can look for Grandpa Liu!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Which family is it?”

Dahu counted on his fingers. “Walk towards Master’s house. Third house!”

Su Cheng said in surprise, “Aiya, Dahu knows how to count!”

“Xiaohu knows too!” Xiaohu said firmly.

Su Cheng was amused. “How much can Xiaohu count?”

Xiaohu said confidently, “100!”

Su Cheng smiled and said, “Xiaohu is so powerful! Tell Grandpa.”

Xiaohu began to count himself, Dahu, and Erhu. “One, two, three, a hundred!” Su Cheng was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao was amused by Xiaohu. She smiled and replied to Dahu, “Alright,

I’ll remember. Then I just need to find another blacksmith.”

Dahu looked up again. “You can look for Grandpa Zhang!”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “Which family is Grandpa Zhang from?”

Dahu pointed to the west. “Go that way. First house.”

It was the house that was handed over to Scholar Street.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I pass by his house every day and don’t hear the sound of hammering. Are you sure he’s a blacksmith?”

Dahu said with extreme certainty, “Grandpa Zhang knows how to forge. His iron shop isn’t here.”

The little fellow knew a lot.

Thinking of something, Su Cheng pondered and said, “You and Physician Fu can’t handle the business on your own. Do you have to hire a few servants?”

Dahu said crisply, “We can ask Grandma Zhou!”

Su Xiaoxiao’s chubby body trembled. Who else did he know?

After breakfast, Su Cheng returned to the ranch to continue being a sandbag.

Before leaving, he secretly stuffed all his belongings into Su Xiaoxiao’s book bag.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw the crumpled banknotes and silver coins of different sizes, her heart burned.

He didn’t spend a single copper coin from the money she gave him.

Needless to say, the money he earned himself was all here.

In an instant, the banknotes and silver coins in her hand were as heavy as a thousand catties.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that getting rich was no longer enough. She wanted to make a name for herself in the capital and bring her father to the peak of her life.

Su Qi and Su Yu arrived late and there was no more breakfast. Fortunately, there were still snacks made by Su Xiaoxiao.

The two of them brought Su Ergou to the Imperial College happily.

Su Xiaoxiao sent the three little ones to Ling Yun. Then, Su Mo’s carriage arrived.

Su Xiaoxiao remembered what happened yesterday and asked, “How did Wei Ting lure you away yesterday?”

Su MO said, “He said he has something to talk to you about.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “That’s it?”

Su MO said seriously, “Compared to him breaking into your room in the middle of the night and letting him talk to you in the carriage at the entrance of the palace, I’m more at ease.”

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Do you know… what car sex is?”

Su MO looked confused.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t tell Su MO about her chance encounter with the Grand Empress Dowager.

After she got out of the carriage, she went straight into the palace.

Princess Jingning came early today.

After two days of medication, the acne on her face was almost invisible. She was still wearing a veil. She was not good-looking and usually wore it.

However, from her smooth forehead, it was not difficult to see that she had recovered.

It had only been two days. This was too magical!

When Princess Jingning entered the classroom, she realized that the left table in the first row was already occupied.

Naturally, no one dared to occupy her seat. Su Xiaoxiao’s seat was occupied.

Actually, the teacher did not specify a seat. Everyone sat casually, except for the two princesses.

Hu Biyun looked at Princess Jing Ning’s much cleaner forehead and praised her father’s medicine in her heart.

Therefore, she had some confidence in befriending Princess Jingning.

“Princess.”

She smiled and was about to get up to bow when she heard Princess Jingning say coldly, “Who allowed you to sit here?”

Hu Biyun was stunned.

Princess Jing Ning said coldly, “Get up!”

Hu Biyun lost face in public.

When Su Xiaoxiao walked into the classroom, the atmosphere was strange. Everyone looked at her with complicated expressions.

She didn’t mind and sat beside Princess Jingning as usual.

Princess Jing Ning did not chase her away.

The young ladies looked at each other.

They were still guessing that Princess Jingning chased Hu Biyun away because she was in a bad mood today.

Now, they all understood that Princess Jingning was simply angry that Hu Biyun had snatched that country girl’s position.

What was going on?

How did a country girl curry favor with Princess Jingning?

“Here, I just made it this morning. It’s hot.” Su Xiaoxiao took out a box of snacks from her book bag.

An alluring fragrance instantly spread out. Everyone subconsciously swallowed.

Princess Jing Ning took the box. “Someone sat in your seat just now.”

Su Xiaoxiao: “Huh?”

Princess Jing Ning continued, “I chased her away.”

Su Xiaoxiao: “Oh.”

Princess Jingning thoughts were: I’m doting on you! Hurry up and be flattered!

There was a music class in the morning. Yesterday, Teacher Jiang had informed everyone in advance to bring the zither.

Su Xiaoxiao naturally brought one with her. It was Xiao Hu’s.

She had asked the little guy’s permission.

The table in the classroom was not long enough. The location of the class was chosen on the corridor outside.

The palace servants had already set up the zither table and futon.

Everyone took out the Luanzheng.

Princess Jingning and Princess Hui An’s Luanzheng had origins. They were two of the three famous zhengs of the Zhou Country.

Qin Yanran’s Luanzheng was not bad either.

Lin Ruyue said, “Miss Qin, your Zheng is so special… Could it be Liuying?”

Qin Yanran smiled. “It’s Liuying.”

Liuying was a famous zither in the Western Jin Dynasty. Although she could not compare to what the two princesses had, it was outstanding among the young ladies.

Even Princess Lingxi’s zither was inferior to Liu Ying.

On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao also took out the Luanzheng.

As soon as it was placed, someone burst out laughing.

Lin Ruyue asked gossipily, “Miss Li, Miss Wang, what are you laughing at?” The daughter of the Li family said, “Someone actually brought a broken zither.”

There was indeed a knife wound at the end of this zither. It was as if it had been slashed by a sharp blade.

Princess Jingning had gone to the toilet and was not there now.

Otherwise, everyone might not have the guts to ridicule her like this.

Qin Yanran looked at the zither and her eyes moved slightly. Soon, she shook her head and smiled. “This Luanzheng… looks a little like the legendary Nine Phoenix.”

The Nine Phoenix was the number one zither in the seven countries. Compared to it, the quality of the three famous zithers of the Zhou Country was akin to scamming people above their level.

Its owner was Nalan Yun, the zither master known as the Zither Immortal. He was the most talented zither child in hundreds of years. He became famous at the age of seven and was known across the seven countries at the age of ten.

It was rumored that he was from Northern Yan, and some said that he was from Western Jin.

His identity was mysterious, and his whereabouts were mysterious. Ever since he was invited to the royal family of Western Jin three years ago to present a song, he had disappeared.

Some said that he had gone into seclusion, while others said that he was dead.

In short, very few people had seen him, and not many had seen Nine Phoenix.

Qin Yanran had only seen Nine Phoenix in the portrait.

Lin Ruyue sneered. “You actually brought a fake zither over!” Everyone looked at Su Xiaoxiao strangely.

That’s right. No one thought that this Luanzheng was real.
