Chapter 1030: A Century-Old Family That Lost Both Its Wife and Its Army
"Brother Yuheng, why are you so angry? We are just telling the truth." Someone said in a contemptuous tone.
"That's right. We have bad luck, but Brother Yuheng has taken advantage of us." Someone said sarcastically.
"Speaking of luck, if Su Yujian hadn't offended the young doctor, how could he have refused to see us or prescribe medicine for us?!" someone said angrily.
As soon as this person finished speaking, the other candidates found another attack point.
Therefore, the target of the attack was aimed at the Su family candidate who had tried to scam people and take advantage of the situation at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.
Moreover, the emotions are more intense.
"It's you!" Someone grabbed the examinee's collar and shouted angrily, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have caught a cold after taking the little doctor's medicine. How could I, after more than ten years of hard study, not even make the list? It's all your fault!"
"Yes! It's you who did it!" Another person grabbed the other side of the Su family candidate's collar, his face flushed and his neck thick with anger, and shouted: "You are a troublemaker! You alone have harmed all of us..."
"That's right! It's all your fault..."
The others gathered around, looking as if they couldn't wait to eat his flesh.
The candidate was naturally shocked and struggled and screamed in panic.
"It's not me... It's not me... Let me go..."
The head of the Su family looked at this ridiculous scene and felt like he was watching a group of mad dogs biting each other.
Is this the talent that the Su family has worked so hard to dig out?
Is this the hope that their Su family wants to rely on?
"Hahaha……"
The head of the Su family suddenly laughed out loud.
There is sadness and deep powerlessness in the laughter.
The candidates who were tearing each other apart were startled.
They all stopped and looked at the head of the Su family.
"Brother?" Su Zhengyan looked at the head of the Su family worriedly.
The head of the Su family ignored Su Zhengyan and suddenly slammed the table.
"Get out! Get out! Get out of the Su family!" The head of the Su family roared angrily.
The expressions of all the Su family candidates changed.
Without the protection and funding of the Su family, a century-old family, how could these failed candidates gain a foothold in the capital?
Am I going to be sent back to my hometown like this?
When they first came to Beijing, they were the center of attention. How glorious it was!
How can I face the shame of going back like this?
"Master, the younger generation..."
"Get out! Didn't you hear me? Someone, get these people out!"
As soon as the head of the Su family finished speaking, the steward of the outer courtyard walked in with several servants.
"Everyone, let's go." The manager said with a cold face and disdain: "Could it be that you have no ability, but still want to stay in the Su family?"
As soon as the steward finished speaking, these people felt as if they had been slapped in the face.
They were all filled with shame and anger and walked out in disgrace.
"Brother, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have recruited these people into the Su family." Su Zhengyan blamed himself and said, "If it weren't for these people's arrogant tone, always boasting about their great talent and profound knowledge, Yurui wouldn't have believed them and dared to bet with Princess Fude..."
After Su Zhengyan finished speaking, he felt as bitter as if he had swallowed coptis chinensis.
He regrets it!
I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green!
Not only did he regret it, how could the head of the Su family not regret it!
After all, without these people, there would be no betting!
The plaque of a century-old family will not fall to the point where it cannot be preserved.
"How can I blame you for this?" The Su family's head said with a wry smile, "If there's anyone to blame, it's me, the head of the family. I shouldn't have followed the old man's orders and asked you to go around and continue the family tree..."
But it’s too late to regret now!
Originally, he thought that he could use these people to restore the reputation of the century-old family, but in the end, he lost both the wife and the army.
Perhaps this is retribution.
"Master, the old master is calling you over to question you." A servant came in and said with a bow.
The Su family's patriarch's expression changed.
Su Zhengyan's expression also changed.
"Brother, about the old man..." Su Zhengyan said hesitantly.
The Su family's patriarch stood up weakly and said dejectedly, "To be honest, these people are useless. Do we really want to continue to support them for nothing? Besides, even if you can learn, you must first be a good person. You have seen the moral character of these people. Keeping them would be a disgrace to the Su family..."
When the head of the Su family said this, he suddenly thought of Su Laowu.
That kind of person who is not interested in power, is proud and stands tall should be the model of a scholar.
If the Su family had such descendants, why would they not be able to restore their reputation?
pity……
The head of the Su family shook his head, sighed, and walked towards the old man's yard dejectedly.
Su Zhengyan watched the back of the Su family's patriarch walking away and sighed.
Just as he was about to return to his yard, a servant came running over in a hurry.
"Sixteenth Master, this is bad! There are a lot of people outside..."
Su Zhengyan: “…”
My heart skipped a beat.
**
The old man of the Su family was tasting the finest Longjing tea. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was a little anxious in his heart.
If no one from the Su family is shortlisted for this spring examination, the reputation of this century-old family will be greatly weakened.
The old man of the Su family looked up at the calligraphy hanging on the wall.
——A century-long heritage, a poet, calligrapher and artist.
A hint of pride appeared on the face of the old man of the Su family.
Then, for some reason, I thought of Su Laowu...
"Greetings, old man." The head of the Su family came in and bowed.
"Hmm." The old man nodded, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then slowly, with a confident tone, asked, "How is it? How many people were shortlisted? Did anyone make the top three?"
The Su family patriarch: "..."
How many people?
Top three?
There is none in the first three, but there is one in the last three!
The patriarch of the Su family glanced at the old man and felt a little embarrassed for him.
"To answer the old man's question, there is only one person... on the list." The head of the Su family said with some difficulty.
The old man of the Su family: "..."
The tea in my mouth no longer tastes fragrant.
However, there was still a hint of hope in his eyes when he looked at the head of the Su family.
Even if there is only one person, as long as he is in the top three, he can save the face of the Su family.
However, the words of the Su family head shattered his last hope.
"It's the last place." The head of the Su family said again.
The old man of the Su family shook his hand, and the precious celadon teacup tilted, and the tea inside splashed out.
The old man of the Su family was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about Su Wuhu? Did he make the list?"
“…I won, and I got first place.” The patriarch of the Su family had a bitter look on his face.
The old man of the Su family: "..."
The expressions on his face were brilliant.
a long time--
"They are all garbage!"
The old man of the Su family snorted and put the teacup on the table.
In the end, I couldn't bear to throw the teacup to the ground.
After all, this set of teacups is his favorite.
It was made by a famous master of the previous dynasty, and there is only one such set in the world.
If today was not the day for the announcement of the results of the Spring Examination, he would not have been willing to use it.
