Chapter 53 You Really Helped Big Brother a Lot
After Li Suining returned to the general's mansion, he was depressed the whole day and only ate a little dinner.
Wei Ranzhu was worried and called the little guy to his side, "What happened to our Suining today? Is there something on his mind?"
"Mother, is it because the prime minister is a very important official? So everyone wants to meet the young master of the prime minister's mansion?" Little Tuanzi asked depressedly.
Wei Ranzhu laughed. She knew that Bai Qingan's recent affairs had made the little ones sentimental.
She gently stroked the little boy's head. "Not really. Maybe some people like to curry favor with the powerful and curry favor with the Prime Minister, but there are also others who uphold justice and justice and won't..."
"Everyone says that Mr. Jiang is the most fair person, but even he refused to see us because of the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Li Suining became more and more unwilling to accept this. They were clearly going to see Mr. Jiang soon, but because of that young master's arrival...
"Mr. Jiang?" Wei Ranzhu didn't get angry after hearing this, but instead chuckled, "Sui Ning, you misunderstood Mr. Jiang."
Li Suining blinked his big eyes in confusion.
"The current prime minister is Mr. Jiang's son-in-law, and the young master we just found is Mr. Jiang's grandson." Wei Ranzhu gently scratched Li Suining's nose. "So, you said that the grandfather wants to see his grandson. Is that a problem?"
"Is that so?" For a moment, Li Suining didn't know whether she should be happy or not. After a long while, she just puffed up her cheeks and muttered softly, "This little prince... is truly blessed."
"Are you envious?" Wei Ranzhu asked with a smile.
"I'm not envious." The little guy quickly cheered up, "I have the best parents, the best brothers and sisters, and I don't envy anyone."
"Good boy, be good! Are you hungry?" Wei Ranzhu asked someone to bring some hot milk. Seeing Li Suining gulp down a big bowl of it, she finally felt relieved.
——
In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the Imperial College to start school. Bai Qing'an was still a little depressed. He stayed in his yard most of the time, not reading, and didn't know what else he could do.
That day, Bai Yunfeng came back from the morning court, his face flushed, and he went straight to Bai Qing'an's yard.
At this time, Li Suining and several of his brothers were trying to find ways to cheer Bai Qingan up. When they saw Bai Yunfeng coming, they rushed over and shouted in unison, "Daddy!"
"Good boy!" Bai Yunfeng's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he strode up to Bai Qing'an. "Qing'an, Daddy has good news for you!"
"Dad," Bai Qing'an said respectfully, but without any expectation, "What's the news?"
"Qing'an, you've been chosen," Bai Yunfeng patted his eldest son's shoulder excitedly. "Tomorrow, you can enter the East Palace and meet the Crown Prince."
Bai Qing'an froze in place for a moment, completely forgetting to react.
"Dad, my brother has been chosen as the prince's study companion?" Bai Shi'an was the first to react and asked excitedly.
Bai Yunfeng smiled and said, "Not yet, but there are only three people selected this time, and the prince's companion will be chosen from among these three."
"That's great, that's great." Several children instantly gathered around Bai Qing'an and congratulated him.
Bai Qing'an's expression changed, and he asked tentatively, "Dad, are you looking for the emperor..."
"No." Bai Yunfeng immediately shook his head. "You know Dad's temper. How could he do such a thing?"
Bai Qing'an frowned, "What's going on? My son didn't win the first prize at the Imperial Examination Hall's welcoming banquet."
"I know." Li Suining immediately raised her hand high. "It must be Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang saw Big Brother's toast and thought Big Brother should also win the first prize."
The fourth and fifth brothers nodded immediately, "That must be the case. Thanks to my sister. It was my sister who left a toast that day and asked the servant to pass it on to Mr. Jiang."
"Hehe..." Little Dumpling was very happy to be able to help his big brother.
For a moment, Bai Qing'an was slightly moved. These past few days, he was really depressed and disappointed in himself. He felt that he could not do anything well, but now... he got the recognition of Mr. Jiang?
He squatted down in front of Li Suining, holding Tuanzi's arms with both hands, "Sister, thank you, big brother."
"No need." Li Suining shook his little head. "Big brother, you are really great, and the toast you wrote is also great, so Mr. Jiang gave you this opportunity. I just passed it on to you, hehe!"
"Good sister, you really helped your brother a lot!" Bai Qing'an couldn't help but hug the little girl, tears couldn't be stopped.
Mr. Jiang's recognition made him feel that the denial and grievances he had suffered over the years were nothing in an instant.
Those were just unfair treatments, not that he was really incompetent.
This is enough, it can support him to keep going and fight for the General's Mansion.
"Dad," Bai Qing'an stood up slowly, "I will do my best to be the prince's study companion. I will also do my best in this Spring Examination!"
"Well done! No matter what the result is, our General's Mansion is proud of you!" Bai Yunfeng said with pride.
At this time, Bai Ruian asked again tentatively, "Dad, big brother, when we enter the East Palace tomorrow, can we..."
He glanced at Li Suining, smiled innocently, scratched his head and said, "Can I bring a small one?"
"You want your elder brother to take your sister with you?" Bai Yunfeng frowned. It was obvious that the Eastern Palace was not the Imperial Examination Hall, so it was not easy to bring someone in.
For a moment, Bai Yunfeng was also in trouble.
Everyone fell silent.
"Let Dad think about it and see if there is any solution." Bai Yunfeng said reluctantly at last.
After he returned, he went to discuss it with Wei Ranzhu, but Wei Ranzhu felt something was wrong.
"Let's not talk about whether it's proper to bring Sui Ning in. Tomorrow, Qing An will be meeting the Crown Prince. It's a test. If... he brings his sister with him, won't it seem less serious?"
Bai Yunfeng thought it made some sense. Although he also felt that bringing Xiaotuanzi along might be helpful, when he thought about it, it was indeed not a good idea.
So he sent someone to tell the little guys to give up the idea.
Li Suining and several of his brothers gathered in Youzhu's yard again. After much deliberation, they decided to let Li Suining go with them.
But how to get there?
It was not until the evening that everyone finally found a solution.
When the stars came out, Li Suining immediately ran to the middle of the yard, wanting to see what would happen tomorrow. As a result, she saw Lin Qingxuan, the Prince Lin, at a glance.
"It turns out that Crown Prince Brother will also go to the East Palace tomorrow."
Bai Shian's eyes immediately lit up. "Oh right, why not let Lin Qingxuan take my sister? That way, since it's not my eldest brother who takes her, Sui Ning can also help him. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
"Fourth brother, you have grown up!" Bai Ruian couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
You Zhu couldn't help but laugh beside him.
"You deserve a beating!" Bai Shi'an waved his fist and reminded Li Suining, "Sister, let's see if there's anything else tomorrow. Let's go and remind big brother!"
"Okay!" Little Dumpling nodded and looked at the stars intently again.
