Chapter 1023: I’m Afraid I’m Too Excellent
By the way, Mr. Zhou was not surprised at all that he failed the exam.
Perhaps, after listening to Yu Zhilan's words, even though others knew in their hearts that they would not win, they could not help but have a trace of hope in their hearts.
What if?
What if I win?
Only Mr. Zhou didn't even have that little bit of luck.
As the saying goes, there is no disappointment without hope.
Mr. Zhou did not show any disappointment. He was just filled with joy as Fude Academy now had another living signboard.
You know, he will be the vice-president of Fude Academy in the future!
After hearing what Mr. Zhou said, everyone calmed down and congratulated Su Laowu.
"Su Huiyuan, congratulations..."
"Hahahaha... Su Huiyuan is so talented, it's no surprise that he's now in high school..."
"Exactly, exactly... Congratulations to Su Huiyuan..."
Su Laowu quickly bowed his hands in thanks, his heart pounding.
His handsome face was covered with frowns and his eyes were as bright as the morning sun.
Although he didn't say it, the pressure in his heart was greater than anyone else.
Not to mention anything else, if he loses the plaque of his sister's princess mansion, he will be blamed even if he dies.
Now that he had passed the imperial examination, he naturally won the bet.
Su Laowu looked at Tang Bao and said with emotion: "Sister, fifth brother has fulfilled his mission."
It was not until this moment that Su Laowu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Bao has curved eyebrows and eyes, and her little face seems to glow in the sun.
"I knew it a long time ago that Fifth Brother would definitely pass the exam!" Tang Bao said confidently, "Master told me a long time ago that if Fifth Brother didn't pass the exam, he would ask the Emperor to review the exam papers."
Su Laowu didn't know that Yu Zhilan had such plans. Fortunately, he did not disappoint his teacher's expectations of him.
Just at this moment, Yu Zhilan came over from a distance with her hands behind her back, strolling leisurely in the garden.
Behind Yu Zhilan followed Xuanyuan Jin, who was wearing the bachelor's gown and cloak of Fude Academy.
When Tang Bao saw it, he immediately ran over with light steps.
"Master, brother, my fifth brother won the first place!" Tang Bao shouted happily.
A satisfied expression appeared on Yu Zhilan's face.
Of course, he had heard the loud congratulations in the yard a long time ago.
Otherwise, why come here at this time?
You know, he was in his yard early in the morning, listening to the noise outside.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the little girl with a happy face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
It was not surprising at all that Su Laowu could get the first place in the imperial examination.
"Well, not bad." Yu Zhilan nodded slightly.
"Master, do you think I can win the first place if I take part in the imperial examination in the future?" Tang Bao asked excitedly.
After saying that, he glanced at Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin habitually smoothed back Tang Bao's messy bangs.
Yu Zhilan glanced at the young disciple and didn't have the heart to criticize him directly. She just said, "I'll ask your fifth brother to write down the exam questions later. You can do them first and show them to me. How about that?"
Tang Bao: “……???”
Eight-legged essay?
joke!
"Master, please pretend I didn't say that." Tang Bao said seriously, "I'm just a little girl, why should I be so educated? Knowing a few words and being able to paint well is enough."
A smile flashed in Xuanyuan Jin's eyes, and an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face.
"You are good at making excuses for your laziness." Yu Zhilan said knowingly.
Tang Bao immediately said, "Master, you are wronging me. I am a diligent disciple. I just feel that if I am too outstanding, wouldn't I steal the limelight from other women? I can't do such an immoral thing. Don't you agree, Master?"
After Tang Bao finished speaking, he looked at Yu Zhilan with an expression that said, "Master, please praise me."
Yu Zhilan: “…”
Looking at his little apprentice who is becoming more and more adept at making excuses, he is at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, Su Laowu also walked over quickly.
"The students would like to thank the teacher for his teachings over the years."
After saying this, he bowed deeply to Yu Zhilan respectfully.
Yu Zhilan looked at her favorite student, and although she was very happy, she still had to maintain her composure.
"Be careful not to be arrogant or impatient, and don't slack off. Prepare carefully for the upcoming palace examination." Yu Zhilan said in a serious voice.
"Yes, students understand." Su Laowu said solemnly.
Xuanyuan Jin bowed to Su Laowu and said, "Congratulations, Fifth Brother."
"Thank you, Third Prince." Su Laowu said with a smile.
When I saw Xuanyuan Jin, I thought of Princess Huaning.
I couldn't wait to tell Princess Huaning the news.
Old Man Su and others also walked over quickly and expressed their gratitude to Yu Zhilan with joy on their faces.
The servants of Fude Academy were all proud and happy when they learned that their master's brother had won the first place in the imperial examination.
"Congratulations, Master and Madam..."
"Congratulations, Princess..."
The stewards of all ranks in the princess's mansion came forward to congratulate her.
Tang Bao smiled and said, "Reward! Everyone will get a reward!"
As soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, there was more laughter in the Princess's Mansion.
For a moment, the entire princess's mansion was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Mr. Zhou came up to Tang Bao and said excitedly, "Little Master, there is no need to hesitate, let's go to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall!"
"Right, right!" Before Tang Bao could say anything, Old Man Su said loudly with a smile on his face: "Hurry up! Let's walk around outside a few more times, and then we have to go smash the plaque. There are a lot of things to do!"
"That's right! Old Master Su is right!" Mr. Zhou shouted excitedly, "Everyone, hurry up and line up. Even if you don't pass, don't be discouraged. We can still take the exam again in three years, and then we can become famous in one fell swoop!"
After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he began to arrange the formation.
After all, many people failed the exam this time, unlike the last time in Qingzhou Prefecture, when everyone unexpectedly made it to the list.
Therefore, despite being mentally prepared, the candidates who failed the exam were still somewhat dejected.
Since they failed the exam, they naturally don't want to go out and show off.
Tang Bao naturally wouldn't ask these people to follow her out and show off.
Isn't that just rubbing salt into someone's wounds?
Tang Bao would naturally not do such an unkind thing.
However, Yu Zhilan didn't think so. She glanced at the candidates who failed the exam one by one.
"Everyone, cheer up! Show the character and courage of a scholar!"
"This failure only proves that your knowledge is not yet refined. You must continue to work hard!"
"You look so discouraged, could it be that you were defeated by a failure?"
"In that case, don't say you're my student when you get out!"
After Yu Zhilan's words, the candidates with lost expressions immediately held their heads high and chests puffed out.
What a joke! How honorable it is for them to receive guidance from Master Yu?
You know, Master Yu is the teacher of the Third Prince.
If one day the Third Prince is able to inherit the throne, Master Yu will be the emperor's teacher.
Of course, they only dared to think about this secretly in their hearts now.
