Chapter 1046: Why do I feel that the Su family can produce another champion?
Old man Su finally understood why his father was treated so harshly in the past.
In fact, he had accidentally heard some gossip and vaguely guessed that it was his grandmother who saved the life of the old man of the Su family.
The specific reason is unclear.
"So that's how it is!" Old Man Su shouted in a rage, "So this is how your Su family is, treasonous and betraying! You call yourselves the leaders of the scholarly community, with a family tradition of poetry and literature, but you are nothing but flies among the scholars! Donkey dung among the scholars!"
“Puff!”
“Puff!”
Some people in the crowd couldn't help but laugh.
There’s no way, Old Man Su’s metaphor is so down-to-earth!
The Su family members blushed when they were accused by Old Man Su, but they had no words to refute.
It has to be said that today the Su family has completely lost both its reputation and face.
"Back then, you despised my mother for coming from a peasant family, thinking she had brought shame upon your Su family and humiliated their reputation. I don't know what's so noble about your Su family?" Old Man Su looked at the old man of the Su family and continued, "On the contrary, it was my mother who was upright and worked hard to raise me..."
When Old Man Su talked about his mother's hardships, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Then, his anger grew.
"Now that I think about it, you were determined to kick my mother out of the Su family not only because she came from a farming family, but also because you knew I would leave with her, so you didn't leave any room for her!"
Old Man Su used an affirmative tone, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
After all, without Old Man Su and his mother, the last trace of Tang Bao's great-grandmother in the Su family would be completely wiped out.
No one in the world knows that the old man of the Su family once married a legitimate wife and rose to prominence with the help of her dowry.
After hearing what Old Man Su said, the old man of the Su family opened his mouth.
He didn't want to admit it, but he had to.
Deep down in his heart, he did have such thoughts.
Otherwise, even for the sake of Old Man Su, his grandson, he would not have insisted on driving Old Man Su's mother out of the Su family.
By the way, the fate between Tang Bao's grandfather and grandmother is similar to the story of the old man of the Su family.
Because the Su family had a rule that after their descendants became adults, they had to travel around to study and gain knowledge and experience.
When the old man of the Su family was studying abroad, he encountered robbers and was rescued by Tang Bao's great-grandmother.
When Tang Bao's grandfather was studying abroad, he did not encounter any robbers, but he fell seriously ill and was saved by Tang Bao's grandmother.
However, the old man of the Su family married Tang Bao's great-grandmother, which resolved the crisis of the Su family and obtained financial support from his daughter-in-law in exchange for a bright future.
Tang Bao's grandfather married Tang Bao's grandmother, but was despised even more by the Su family.
Because Tangbao's grandmother was just a peasant girl and had no dowry.
"Grandpa Su might have forgotten that our ancestors also came from humble backgrounds. The ancestor of the first high school student in the Su family was from a farming family." Tang Bao said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "How many of the aristocratic families in the world, going back ten or eight generations, didn't come from humble backgrounds?"
As for those wealthy and powerful families and noble families, they may have only become rich in recent generations.
A few generations ago, they were all peasants.
After all, whose ancestors haven't farmed the land?
After Tang Bao said this, the people around her also understood what Tang Bao meant.
Although there are scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, Dayan is based on agriculture after all.
Those noble families who pride themselves on being aloof, especially those who have passed down poetry and literature from generation to generation, may look down on farmers behind their backs but will not express it out loud.
On the contrary, they would use words and writing to praise the hard work and difficulties of the farmers.
It was for this reason that when they were in Qingzhou Prefecture, Zhang Zhiyan, the second daughter of the Zhang family, said such words, which gave Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin a handle on her. They went to Zhang Hanlin's house and blackmailed an old teacher who was in charge of Fude Academy.
After Tang Bao finished saying this, the old man of the Su family's face turned pale and blue.
Because Tang Bao was right, the Su family's ancestors did come from a poor family and were farmers.
However, some fig leaves must continue to be covered and cannot be lifted.
Otherwise, the old man of the Su family would not dare to bear certain consequences.
"Yang'er, it was you who insisted on leaving with your mother. Grandfather repeatedly asked you to stay. Have you forgotten?" The old man of the Su family said earnestly, "Do you know how heartbroken and disappointed Grandfather was when he saw you insist on leaving?"
After hearing what the old man of the Su family said, Old Man Su sneered and said, "My mother was kicked out by you because she came from a peasant family. What am I, the son of a peasant girl, doing here? Are you looking for death? Are you tired of living?"
"Besides, what right do you have to kick my mother out? Why do you want to erase her from the Su family's genealogy? My mother saved my father's life, and this is how you, the Su family, treat your savior?"
Upon hearing this, the old man of the Su family closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Yang'er, the reason we kicked your mother out wasn't because she came from a peasant family, but because she was unlucky in marriage! Your mother has already killed your father, so is she going to kill the rest of the Su family too?"
"Nonsense!" Old Man Su immediately shouted angrily, "My father wasn't killed by my mother! My father's health was poor because he was mistreated in the Su family when he was young, which hurt him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have almost died on the road while studying abroad!"
"Also, if my mother is really unlucky with her relatives, she should have killed me, her own son!"
When Old Man Su said this, he looked around, raised his thumb and pointed at himself.
He continued with his head held high and his chest puffed out, "You can see for yourselves that I am not only alive and well, but I also have a son and a daughter, and a large family with many grandchildren. All of my children are filial to me..."
"There are more than ten grandchildren in the family, all of whom have already enrolled in the family academy. The eldest, second, and third grandchildren have already passed the imperial examinations and will take the exams in the next autumn..."
When Old Man Su talked about his grandchildren, his tone was no longer one of disdain, but a face full of pride.
Their Su family is now a family of farming and studying.
A large group of grandchildren, strong and capable!
When the old man of the Su family heard what old man Su said about there being several young scholars in the family, his eyes lit up.
At this time, Su Laoer said loudly with a face full of pride: "My third nephew passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen and ranked first in our county!"
Su Lao San also said: "The teachers in the academy are all full of praise for my third nephew. His talent for reading is on par with my fifth brother."
"Third brother, you are wrong." Su Laowu said sincerely: "Chengyao is quick-witted and his talent is far superior to mine."
Everyone: “…”
Why do I feel that the Su family will be able to produce a champion in the future?
The old man of the Su family's heart began to beat rapidly.
If this is true, is the Su family still afraid that they will not be able to reproduce the glory of having three Jinshi in one family?
Tang Bao glanced at the old man of the Su family calmly.
Then, he asked, "Third brother, I heard that Ba Wa can already write poetry. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true!" Su Lao San was very happy when he mentioned this, and said loudly: "Ba Wa is only seven years old this year, but he can already write five-character quatrains. Zhang Hanlin praised Ba Wa's poems and directly accepted Ba Wa as his disciple, insisting on teaching him personally!"
Everyone: “…”
Why do I feel that the Su family will be able to produce another champion in the future?
