The journey back to Tangbao and others went smoothly, and no further accidents occurred.
On the surface, there is another Zhou Juren who always wants to chat with the sugar baby to get lucky.
Secretly, there are many more people.
Tangbao guessed that what happened in the ruined temple may have been known to many people.
When Tangbao and the Queen Mother separated, the Queen Mother repeatedly warned Tangbao not to forget to go to the White Mansion.
"Fu Ya, don't forget to go to the White Mansion to visit your grandmother." Before leaving, the Queen Mother warned: "When my grandmother chooses a good day, she will tell the world that she will recognize you as her granddaughter!"
Mrs. Xia: "..."
I have accepted Fuya as my goddaughter, but I have not yet informed the government.
It seems that we need to hurry up...
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely go, and I will go often." Tangbao said with a smile: "Let's not let Sister Bai go out to Su's house in the future. The thief has not been caught yet, so as to avoid any accidents on the way.
I will go to Bai Mansion to give Sister Bai acupuncture."
"Okay, you're very thoughtful," the Queen Mother said with a smile.
After Tangbao separated from the Queen Mother's carriage, he sent Mrs. Xia back to the magistrate's residence, and then took the carriage back to the Su Mansion.
The entrance of Su Mansion.
"Sister, can you give the painting you made on the street that day to Fifth Brother?" Su Laowu asked Tangbao for something as soon as he got off his horse.
Tangbao and Xia Siya looked at each other and said, "Sister Siya, I win!"
Xia Siya looked at Su Laowu with a resentful look.
"Fifth brother, can't you wait until you enter the gate before speaking? You can't even wait for this time!"
Make her lose!
Su Laowu: "...You two actually made a bet!"
Tangbao said with a smile: "I bet you can't help but speak as soon as you get off the horse. Sister Siya said that you are a scholar, so you will be worried about your face and will not speak until you enter the door of the house."
Su Laowu: "..."
Listening to this, it sounds like he is shameless...
"However, Fifth Brother, you are much later than I expected!" Tangbao joked: "I thought you couldn't help it long ago and would ask me for it, but I didn't expect you to ask now."
Su Laowu: "...You are the only one who is smart!"
The sugar baby chuckled.
"That's natural! However, if you had spoken earlier, Fifth Brother, it would have been in vain. I will not give it to you! If Sister Ning is not honest, I will definitely not give her portrait away, even if you are my brother.
!”
"It should be like this." Su Laowu agreed very much with Tangbao's words.
It was precisely for this reason that he could not bear to speak until now.
If the two of them had not expressed their feelings now, wouldn't it be a gentleman's behavior for him to privately ask for a portrait of a girl's family?
After Su Laowu finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"Give me one of her pottery figures."
Anyway, he was already being laughed at by his younger sister, so Su Laowu simply remained shameless.
"Fifth brother, this is not possible!" Tangbao shook his head and said: "You should ask Sister Ning for it yourself. I think Sister Ning must have kept it for you, and I am just waiting for an opportunity to give it to you...
"
"I think so!" Xia Siya stood aside and nodded seriously.
After saying that, he added: "Fifth brother, why are you taking so much trouble? You want to make a pottery, and you want a portrait. Why don't you just marry the person back and get married?"
Su Laowu: "..."
Doesn't he want to?
**
On the autumn day, Tangbao and Xia Siya got up very early.
The two of them, along with a few cooks, worked hard in the kitchen and made a sumptuous breakfast.
Magistrate Xia and Mrs. Xia also rushed over early in the morning, and breakfast was also served at Su's house.
The couple worked hard so that their son could hang off the back of the car.
I haven’t let my son go home these days!
After breakfast, Prefect Xia made the final mobilization.
Then, a group of young students carried the same bamboo baskets on their backs, carried the same furoshiki quilts, and wore the same academic uniforms embroidered with the Ford College logo. They lined up neatly and went out in high spirits to promote the Ford College.
, No, I should be rushing to the examination room.
Even Xia Siming specially asked for a bachelor's uniform from Ford College.
Because he thinks it's cool.
Su Laowu took the lead, followed closely by Xia Siming. The whole group was quite eye-catching along the way!
One look at this all-over standard outfit, and others will know that he is a scholar who is going to take the exam.
However, no one has ever seen a group of scholars dressed in such uniform.
"Is this a student from some big academy?"
"I think you are from a small place. How can you have such magnanimity?"
"Look! There are words embroidered on the sleeves..."
"It seems to be...the four words Ford Academy..."
"That's right, it's Ford Academy..."
As a group of students walked around, the four words "Fude Academy" in gold thread seemed to shine with golden light in the morning light.
"Where is Ford Academy?"
"But what? Why haven't you heard of it?"
"..."
Sugar Baby was walking nearby and heard people talking.
He thought to himself: Isn’t this what I’ve heard?
It seems that this wave of advertising is going well!
When Su Laowu and others arrived at Gongyuan, many candidates had gathered at the gate of Gongyuan.
They came neither too early nor too late.
But looking at the status of those candidates, they're not all that good.
Some have dark circles under their eyes, some have haggard faces, and some have sallow complexions...
Like Su Laowu and others, there are not many candidates who come to take the exam in high spirits after having a good sleep, eating and drinking.
Those people may have woken up too early because they were staying far away and were afraid of delaying their entry into the venue, or they may not have slept well because the inn they were staying in was too noisy, or they may have just arrived and are acclimated.
Dissatisfied...
In short, Su Laowu and others, who were originally eye-catching because of their unified standard equipment, immediately became the focus of many candidates' attention as soon as they arrived at the gate of Gongyuan.
"Brother Su, Zhou is deeply grateful to see the condition of these people." Zhou Xiucai said to Su Laowu with emotion on his face: "I am glad that Zhou is lucky enough to study at Ford Academy..."
"Not bad! We are also very happy..."
Other scholars from Ford Academy also agreed.
These days, they are at Su's house, where they have food, drink, and special care, and they don't spend a penny on themselves.
Even if he was a little acclimatized on the first day, he could take a pack of medicine and be full of energy the next day.
Therefore, everyone is full of energy and confidence now.
"Everyone line up... line up..."
Several officials shouted loudly from the front.
Su Laowu turned around and looked behind the crowd.
"Fifth Brother, Sister Ning is over there!" Tangbao stretched out his hand and pointed in the distance.
Sure enough, a carriage was parked at an alleyway far away from the crowd.
Su Laowu recognized it at a glance, it was Princess Hua Ning's carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was opened at a corner, revealing a section of white gauze.
Su Laowu looked at the car window and nodded.
A slight smile appeared on his gentle and jade-like face.
He knew that the woman he admired was looking at him there.
At this moment, Su Laowu's heart was filled with fighting spirit.
In order to marry this woman home, he must win the first prize in one fell swoop!
