Chapter 1022: Su Huiyuan, you will be the signboard from now on
After Su Laosan finished speaking, he looked at Su Laowu.
Then he said, "Old Five, are you sure?"
Su Laowu smiled gently.
How should he answer this?
"I can't say for sure who will be the champion, but if I can defeat those people from the Su family, it will be a piece of cake." Su Laowu said.
Su Lao San laughed, patted Su Lao Wu on the shoulder, and said, "That's it! This time it's up to you!"
Shi Liu asked curiously, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master, do you all know about the bet between the young lady and the Su family?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lao Er also took a large iron hammer from Shi Liu's hand, weighed it, and said, "We heard about it at the city gate. Even the soldiers guarding the city gate are talking about it."
Su Lao San also said, "I'm afraid that everyone in the streets and alleys is discussing this matter. We have been hearing so much about it all the way from the city gate to the Princess's Mansion that our ears are almost callused."
It has to be said that the capital city was already boiling at this time.
People, from high-ranking officials to peddlers and hawkers, paid unprecedented attention to the results of this spring examination.
Of course, if it was just a bet, it would not cause such a big commotion.
Even though Tang Bao is a princess and the Su family is a century-old family, the effect of this bet is just to give people more topics to talk about after dinner.
After all, what people are most concerned about are the names on the list.
However, now all the major gambling houses in the capital have started betting on this matter.
In this case, it’s different.
Not only were common people discussing this matter, but wealthy families were also talking about it behind the scenes.
Who asked them to place bets secretly?
People from the Bai family, including the first and second wives, secretly bet on Tang Bao to win.
In their opinion, if Su Laowu could win the first place in the provincial government in the autumn examination, he would definitely win over those descendants of the Su family who were found from some unknown corner.
After the Bai family placed the bet, the eldest lady secretly told her daughter Bai Shuxiang.
Although Bai Shuxiang hated Tang Bao, she still listened to her mother and secretly used her private money to bet on Tang Bao to win.
Relatives related to the Xia family, as well as relatives related to the Zheng County Magistrate's family, etc., secretly sent their family managers to the gambling house and bet on Tang Bao to win.
Even several concubines in the palace secretly sent their confidants out of the palace to bet on Tang Bao to win.
Because ever since they played cards with Tang Bao once, they deeply felt Tang Bao's incredible good luck.
So, naturally, I would not miss this opportunity.
You have to know that they have high positions in the palace, their expenses are high, and they don’t have much money on a regular basis.
If there is an opportunity to make money, you must seize it.
Because of these many reasons, Tang Bao’s originally extremely high odds quickly plummeted.
However, this has no effect on Tang Bao.
Because when she sent Lin Enyi to place the bet, her odds were still extremely high.
"Dad, how much silver did you bet?" asked Su Lao San.
Old Man Su: "...Ten...cough cough cough..."
Old man Su suddenly started coughing.
It was a close call. He almost told others the amount of his private money.
Fortunately, the car was braked in time.
Old Man Su secretly rejoiced.
Old Mrs. Su patted the man on the back with heartache.
Old Man Su glared at Su Lao San and said, "Dad didn't place any bets. It was your sister who placed all the bets. Your sister said she bet all the money she could use!"
The corners of Su Laosan's mouth twitched.
Dad must have secretly used his private money to place the bet.
Even a fool can see that he is guilty.
Su Laosan felt a little regretful.
If he had come a few days earlier, he would have been able to catch up and place his bets.
After Tang Bao arranged for Mrs. Su San to rest, he walked briskly to meet up with Old Man Su and the others.
"Is Uncle Lin back?" Tang Bao asked.
"No." Shi Liu said excitedly, "Miss, how about I go wait at the gate?"
Lin Enyi went to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall before dawn.
In order to grab a good spot, wait to see the list first.
In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, someone naturally has to look at the list first, and then Su Laowu and other candidates from Fude Academy will make their debut.
This operation had been done once during the Autumn Examination, so everyone was familiar with the process.
Now, everyone is waiting for news from Lin Enyi.
After listening to Shi Liu's words, Tang Bao nodded and said, "Go."
Shi Liu agreed and ran quickly towards the door.
Tang Bao looked at Su Lao San and asked, "Third brother, why didn't you bring Aunt Gu?"
"Aunt Gu doesn't want to come." Su Lao San said helplessly: "Your third sister-in-law and I tried to persuade her for a long time, but Aunt Gu just said that the show shop couldn't do without her, so we can talk about it later."
Tang Bao thought for a moment and said, "Then when Second Brother returns, let Uncle Lin go back to Daliushu Village with him."
Upon hearing this, Su Lao San immediately understood what Tang Bao meant, and his expression became a little strange.
He didn't expect that his sister, a little girl, could actually see all these.
Su Lao Er said with some confusion: "What does Aunt Gu's not coming to the capital have to do with Uncle Lin returning to Daliushu Village?"
Tang Bao: “…”
Second brother is indeed a straight man!
I’m afraid my second brother is the only one in the family who hasn’t realized it yet.
"I got it! I got it... I won the first prize!"
Pomegranate shouted loudly, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she ran over with shining eyes.
He ran while swinging a hammer in his hand.
Behind Shi Liu, Lin Enyi was running, sweating and panting, but with a happy face.
Everyone in the Su family was overjoyed.
Although, Shi Liu did not say who won the first place.
However, everyone agreed that it was Su Laowu.
"Dad! Mom! Fifth brother won!" Tang Bao was so happy that he almost jumped up.
"Hahaha... Lao Wu, not bad!" Su Lao Er laughed happily.
Su Lao San also laughed and said, "Lao Wu, you have made our family proud!"
Old Man Su was so happy that his eyes turned red.
“Not bad… Not bad…”
As he said this, he patted Su Laowu on the shoulder.
The candidates from Fude Academy rushed over to Lin Enyi.
"Uncle Lin, how is it? Did I win?"
"Uncle Lin, what about me? What about me?"
"Uncle Lin, and me..."
A group of candidates started to speak, eagerly asking whether they had passed or not.
Lin Enyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a breath, and said loudly: "Fifth Master is the champion! Mr. Zhang got the 18th place, Mr. Liu got the 34th place, and Mr. Tian got the 48th place..."
Lin Enyi spoke a series of words, and those who passed the exam danced with joy, while those who failed were filled with disappointment.
Fortunately, Yu Zhilan had predicted in advance that all those who failed the exam would not be able to pass the exam. She was very direct and did not try to be euphemistic.
Therefore, they knew that they would probably fail the exam, so they were mentally prepared and did not lose their composure too much.
Among the more than 20 candidates for Fude Academy, nine were admitted.
To be honest, this ratio is quite high.
After all, many people only reach the level of Juren in their entire lives.
"Hahaha... Congratulations to Su Huiyuan!" Zhou, the failed candidate, looked at Su Laowu and said with a bow, "I wish Su Huiyuan all the best and a triple top score!"
After saying this, his face showed a confident and high-spirited expression.
He added, "Su Huiyuan, you will be the face of our Fude Academy from now on!"
