"What did you write?" Huang continued to ask her son.

Chen Haoyuan was so astonished by the calligraphy on the couplet that he was speechless. His throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton and he couldn't utter a single word.

He boasted of his outstanding calligraphy and was often praised by teachers. However, if his calligraphy was compared with the calligraphy on the couplet, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it pales in comparison! The village head beside him read out with great pride: "Spring is everywhere! All the rivers and mountains are shining! Everything is renewed! Well written, well written!"

Everyone looked at each other.

The village head and Su Pangya read exactly the same thing! The village head also praised the couplet for being well written! When Chen Xiucai wrote the couplet just now, the village head also praised it, but his attitude was not so intense! "Village head, is this couplet real?" a villager asked.

"Are there fake couplets?" The village head looked puzzled.

The Sun family's wife said, "Just now, Chen Xiucai's mother said that the couplets of the Su family are a mess of scribbles and nonsense."

The head of the village said solemnly: "If this couplet is nonsense, then someone else's couplet is also nonsense!"

Someone, who is that person, it must be Chen Xiucai.

So, in the head of the village, this couplet is more exquisite than the one by Chen Xiucai!

"The calligraphy is good, the artistic conception is good, and the paper... is good." It is so good that the head of the village was at a loss for words.

"Son!" Huang placed her last bit of hope on Chen Haoyuan.

His son was a scholar, the most learned, and his words carried the most weight. As long as his son said that the couplets of the Su family were wrong, then they were wrong! Chen Haoyuan was unwilling to admit that his handwriting was not as good as that of a country bumpkin, but the cold sweat on his forehead betrayed him.

Su Xiaoxiao would not miss the opportunity to slap Chen Xiucai in the face. It was because he always acted so self-righteously, as if he was the most powerful person in the world and everyone else was just a toad in the pond!

"Hey, cousin, why are you silent? Is it because my husband's couplets are so good that you feel inferior to him?"

The villagers didn't understand what "feeling ashamed of oneself" meant, but Chen Xiucai looked up in astonishment.

At this moment, he truly felt that Su Daya was different!

In the past, Su Daya could not get anything out of her even with three sticks. She would just hit him when she got angry, and if she really wanted to scold him, she would just say some uneducated words! Could it be that... all this was taught by that rumored cousin's husband?

Isn't he just a peasant? "Sister! He definitely can't write as well as my brother-in-law!" Su Ergou is a complete little fanboy.

The brother and sister sang the same tune, making Huang and Chen Xiucai extremely embarrassed.

Huang said: "You are from the same village, so of course you should speak up for your own people!"

This is an accusation that the village head's comments are unfair and deliberately biased towards the Su family.

The villagers were unhappy to hear this.

Huang was also stupid. In order to get the couplet written by Mr. Chen himself, everyone tried their best to curry favor with Huang.

Even the villagers who usually just watched the fun were almost all helping her to laugh at Su Pangya's joke.

If the village is biased, then aren't they? They are clearly biased towards the Huang family, but Huang slams them down and says they only protect people from their own village? They admit that the Chen family's couplets are fragrant, but they are here to seek good luck, not to be disliked! They really take themselves for granted!

Huang realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late.

The folks were no longer on her side.

Seeing Huang's own death, Su Xiaoxiao shouted in her heart that it was what she deserved! After all, the head of the village was not a serious scholar, and his ability to appreciate was limited. He said that Wei Ting's couplet was well written, but it was not very convincing.

Huang thought so too.

Her son is the only scholar here. As long as her son doesn't admit it, the couplets of the Su family are nothing!

"Eh? Look! There's a carriage coming over there!"

A villager pointed in the direction of the village entrance and said.

Seeing a horse-drawn carriage in Xinghua Village was roughly equivalent to seeing a Xiali coming into the valley in the previous life. It was quite rare.

Are you here to see the head of the village?

The carriage did not go to the headman's house, but stopped directly at the door of Xiao Su's house.

"Village head, are you looking for me?" said the Sun family's daughter-in-law.

The head of the village shook his head. He didn't recognize the carriage and had never seen the driver before.

Among all the people present, only Chen Haoyuan recognized that this was the carriage belonging to Dean Shen's family, and the coachman was a servant from the academy.

The only one who can establish a relationship with the academy is myself.

Could it be... that he was here to see me? Then who was in the carriage? The dean? No, no, the dean would not come here in person.

But what if? The dean values ​​me so much that he would come to visit me personally?

Bang! The carriage curtain was opened by a folding fan, and a young man in a sky-blue gown jumped out of the carriage.

He is tall and has handsome features. There is a sense of youthful spirit and heroism in his brows, as well as the scholarly air of a scholar.

But it doesn’t make people feel aloof.

He was wearing clothes made of expensive fabrics, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade pendant made of Hetian jade with a clear and smooth texture.

It's obvious at first glance that he is the son of a wealthy family!

Huang asked in a low voice: "Brother Hao, who is he?"

Chen Haoyuan frowned and said, "Dean Shen's son."

Huang was shocked: "Your dean's son? He is here to see you, Hao brother?"

The dean's son came to visit in person and even found Xinghua Village from Yangliu Village. What a great honor!

I got my face back! I got it back!

Huang pulled Chen Haoyuan forward with a smile on her face and said excitedly: "Mr. Shen! You are here to find my son! My son is here!"

"Huh? You are here too." Shen Chuan looked at Chen Haoyuan in surprise.

Judging from Shen Chuan's tone, isn't he here to look for her son (him)?

"I'm looking for Miss Su!" Shen Chuan asked, "Is this Miss Su's home?"

Shen Chuan was surrounded by fellow villagers and did not notice Su Xiaoxiao who was leisurely eating corn cobs at the back of the crowd.

When the villagers heard this, they didn't think of Su Xiaoxiao at the first time.

After all, when we talk about Su Pangya, we think of Su the bully.

The only one who is called Miss Su is Su Jinniang from the Su family!

Just at this moment, Fang and Su Jinniang came over here.

Zhou waved at the two of them: "Jin Niang! There's a young man looking for you! Who are you?"

She asked Shen Chuan.

"Oh, I'm from Wutong Academy, my name is Shen Chuan." Shen Chuan was very polite and did not look down on her just because she was a country woman.

"From the same academy as Chen Xiucai!"

"He's so handsome!"

"Just now I seemed to hear Chen Xiucai say that he is the dean's son."

"Why did the dean's son come to see Jinniang? Could it be that he is also here to propose marriage to Jinniang?"

Su Jinniang and Fang came to the crowd and heard the villagers' discussions.

Fang's expression was just stunned.

Su Jinniang also looked at the other party in extreme surprise.

Shen Chuan's appearance and demeanor are impeccable. Although not as stunning as Wei Ting, he is more than an order of magnitude better than Chen Haoyuan.

Besides, he is the son of the dean! What a noble status! If he really came to propose marriage to the Su family——

Fang and Su Jinniang's hearts began to beat wildly.

Shen Chuan said: "You are wrong, the person I am looking for is not her, but Su Daya!"

What? Su Daya? "Make way, make way."

Su Xiaoxiao nonchalantly patted the villagers who were blocking the door.

Everyone made way for the other party in a daze.

Shen Chuan finally saw her, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and said, "Miss Su! It really is your house! It seems I found the right place! But, is your family holding a wedding? Why are there so many people?"

"Alas." Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "There is no happy event, I just put up a couplet. Shen Chuan, you came just in time, help me see how this couplet is written!"

Calling each other by their first names! They know each other? They are quite familiar with each other?!

Is this really the Su Daya they know? !

The villagers were all dumbfounded and shocked.

Chen Haoyuan was no less shocked than everyone else.

If you don't know, you're fearless, but he knows.

He had been studying in the academy for five years, but he couldn't even call Master Shen "Shen Chuan"! It wasn't about superiority or inferiority, but their relationship wasn't that close!

Shen Chuan admired it carefully and said with admiration: "Who did you ask to write the couplets in your house? The words are very elegant! The meaning is also good!"

"Compared to this one?" Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the couplet in Tiedan's hand.

Shen Chuan didn't know it was written by Chen Haoyuan. He took a look and said bluntly, "Is there any comparison? This is far inferior to the one on your wall!"

Did you hear that?

The young master of Wutong Academy said personally that Mr. Chen’s couplets are not as good as those of the Su family!

Now no one is wrongly accusing the village head anymore! The village head nodded with satisfaction, and he said, "Xiao Su's couplets are better!" His vision was right!

Huang was anxious: "Mr. Shen, how can you speak for an outsider? In the future, you and my son will go to the capital to study together. In the words of you scholars, we will be... fellow villagers and classmates! You should take care of each other!"

Shen Chuan gave Huang a strange look and said, "Huh? Don't you know? Chen Haoyuan is not on the list of people going to the capital this time!"

Huang said without thinking: "How can my son not be here! Impossible!"

Shen Chuan said, "Why would I lie to you? The list came down a few days ago, and the students going to the capital city have already received notice to apply for the capital city pass."

Chen Haoyuan hadn't received any news. He thought the list wouldn't be posted until the beginning of spring... Was this the truth? "Why?" He couldn't accept it.

Shen Chuan sighed, "I'm also confused. I clearly told my father that you are Miss Su's cousin."

The way everyone looked at the mother and son changed completely.

Huang had been bragging all morning about Chen Haoyuan going to the city to take the imperial examination. How would this end? Chen Haoyuan's face was burning, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Mr. Chen, don't be discouraged. Whether or not you go to the capital to study is not the most important thing. As long as you study hard, you will eventually become successful."

The head of the village put aside their past grudges and comforted Chen Haoyuan, but to Chen Haoyuan it sounded like a ridicule.

He said nothing and his face looked extremely ugly.

Huang, who was standing by, seemed to finally be unable to bear the blows one after another. Her eyes went dark and she fainted.
