Chapter 50 Big Brother, Did You Get the Jackpot?
Li Suining came to the yard and followed his memory to look for the old man, but he didn't find the old man, but met a brother from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He is the second son of the Zuo family.
"Are you Li Suining?" Zuo Jiali obviously came with bad intentions.
Little Dumpling nodded, and sensing the other party's inexplicable anger, she asked in confusion, "Who are you? Do you know me?"
Zuo Jiali did not answer her question, but continued, "Not only do I know you, I also know your father who died a long time ago."
Li Suining instantly became angry. "I know you are the prime minister's son, but even if you are the prime minister's son, you can't be so rude. My father died saving people. He is a hero."
"Hero?" Zuo Jiali sneered, "Would a hero abuse a three-year-old child? I think he's just a bear!"
Li Suining didn't understand what he said, but she would not allow anyone to scold Li Tianfu like that.
She became even angrier and yelled in a baby voice, "You will get your comeuppance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Jiali quickly cried out "Ouch", apparently someone hit him on the back of the head again.
He wiped it and blood appeared.
"Who? Who is there?" Zuo Jiali turned around and looked around fiercely, but did not see anyone suspicious.
Li Suining covered his mouth and laughed twice.
Zuo Jiali glared at Li Suining again, "Li Suining, God has eyes. Don't think you've won just because you entered the General's Mansion. You will have to pay the price sooner or later!"
Having said that, he turned around and left angrily.
"Strange!" Li Suining tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why the other party disliked her so much.
However, she didn't care and soon continued to look for the strange old man.
Sure enough, she saw the old man with white beard by a stream.
"Grandpa!" Li Suining ran over happily as if he saw an old friend.
"It's you?" Unexpectedly, the old man recognized her at a glance. "Why are you here?"
"Hey, I'm here to attend the banquet with my big brother," Li Suining sat down next to the old man obediently, "I know why Grandpa is here."
"Oh? Really? Tell me about it." The old man's face, which was originally gloomy, actually relaxed a little at this moment.
Li Suining lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Grandpa, do you want to meet the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The old man stopped talking, as if he had been guessed right.
"I also want to meet him, but..." Li Suining snorted, "I'm starting to change my mind. I don't think the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are good people."
“Hahaha…” Unexpectedly, this sentence made the old man laugh completely, “Hahaha… Well said, really well said!”
Li Suining was startled. She tilted her head in confusion, "Grandpa, why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
"Happy, so happy!" The old man finally managed to stop laughing. "It's been a while since someone has said something that touched my heart so well. You... are so lovable."
"Hehe!" Li Suining narrowed his eyes. "Is Grandpa happier now than meeting the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The old man thought about it seriously and said, "Well, it's happier than that!"
He looked at Li Suining's deliberate attempt to please him, and for a moment he was distracted, muttering to himself, "Resembles, really resembles."
"What does it look like?" Li Suining tilted his head curiously.
The old man quickly came to his senses and turned to look at the stream flowing quietly beside him. "Nothing, just an old friend."
He took the initiative to change the subject, "By the way, you said you came here with your older brother?"
"Well, my big brother, Bai Qing'an," Li Suining said proudly, "They are giving toasts inside. My big brother will definitely win the first prize."
"Really?" The old man chuckled.
"Yeah, I can!" Little Dumpling was full of confidence, "My big brother is really great!"
"Bai Qing'an," the old man stood up, "I have some impression of this name. Okay, I'll remember it."
"Huh?" Li Suining also stood up, becoming more and more confused.
The old man smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Li Suining, and I'm Xiaoqi from the General's Mansion." The little girl answered happily.
"General's Mansion, Baiyun Peak," the old man nodded. "Okay, today's visit to the Imperial Examination Hall was not in vain. Although I didn't meet that brat from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was worth it to meet Li Suining from the General's Mansion. Hahahaha..."
He turned and left while laughing, "Li Suining, go back to your big brother, the banquet is almost over."
"Oh, okay, goodbye, grandpa!" Li Suining waved his short little hand and immediately ran back to find Bai Qing'an. Sure enough, he saw that everyone had come out.
"Big brother," she smiled and trotted forward, but saw that Bai Qingan's face was not very good, "Big brother?"
"My sister is back." Bai Qing'an tried to smile, "Let's go home."
The brother and sister boarded the carriage to the general's mansion in silence. Li Suining asked tentatively, "Big brother, did you...get the jackpot?"
Bai Qingan smiled and shook his head, "Did Big Brother disappoint you?"
"No." Li Suining immediately sat down next to Bai Qing'an. "If it doesn't work this time, it will definitely work next time. Big brother, don't lose heart!"
"Be good!" Bai Qing'an touched the little guy's head.
This time, it was a real blow to him, especially when he saw the two toasts that won the jackpot, which were actually given to him by Lao Wu last night.
At this moment, he had no time to think about why Bai Ruian knew the two toasts in advance. He just didn't understand why he lost even though he had already seen the two toasts.
Is he really just a vulgar person?
What about poetry and songs? He has no idea how to appreciate them.
Seeing that Bai Qing'an was in a bad mood, Li Suining stopped chattering and stayed with him quietly, thinking about what else he could do to help his elder brother.
——
At the same time, in the deepest room of the Imperial Examination Hall, several gentlemen sat together. When they saw an old man come in, they all stood up and respectfully called out, "Mr. Jiang!"
This old man was none other than the old grandfather that Li Suining had just met, Old Tutor Jiang, Jiang Heci.
Jiang Heci raised his hand and asked everyone to sit down.
"Mr. Jiang, here is the icing on the cake of the toast just now." Someone immediately presented the two toasts just now.
Jiang Heci took a quick look and nodded, "Not bad!"
Then he let everyone disperse, "That's all for today, everyone go back."
Everyone bowed in turn and left.
Jiang Heci still sat there for a long time before he spoke again, "That brat from the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't come today after all. It must have been that fellow Zuo Shanzhang's doing on purpose!"
"Mr. Jiang, you...how about I send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion..." the attendant said tentatively.
"No need!" Jiang Heci snorted coldly. Suddenly, he remembered the dumpling and a smile appeared on his face. He said slowly, "Show me the toast from Bai Qingan from the Bai family..."
The attendant quickly flipped through it and asked in confusion, "Master Jiang, there's no toast from Bai Qing'an here!"
