Chapter 1065: Thanks
Su Laowu breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.
"Your servant Su Wuhu thanks the Lord for His grace!"
Su Laowu knelt down and kowtowed.
Emperor Tianxi looked at the new number one scholar with satisfaction, and suddenly thought of his eldest daughter, Princess Huaning.
If it weren't for the Western Qin Crown Prince coming to ask for Ning'er's hand in marriage, and taking the fifth son of the Su family as his concubine, it would have been a beautiful story...
Emperor Tianxi felt a little regretful.
After all, Princess Huaning was the eldest daughter of Emperor Tianxi. She was once disfigured due to illness and had a difficult life. Emperor Tianxi always felt sorry for his daughter.
However, as an emperor, the first thing he considers is the country and the people.
First the king, then the father.
"Lord Su, I hope you will be a man of great military strategy and serve the country and the people in the future. Don't let me down." Emperor Tianxi said in a dignified voice, "Stand up."
"Su Wuhu will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations!"
Su Laowu finished speaking in a sonorous voice, knelt on the ground, and opened his mouth again.
He really wanted to propose to the emperor on the spot and ask to marry Princess Huaning.
However, thinking of what his sister had told him and the rumors he had vaguely heard, his heart sank and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
The time is not right yet. If we bring it up now, the Emperor will definitely not approve it, and it might even backfire.
Su Laowu tried hard to suppress the urgency in his heart.
For a moment, the joy of being chosen as the top scorer faded.
**
"Master...Master...The Fifth Young Master is the top scholar..."
As the shouting and yelling began, the entire Princess's Mansion was in an uproar.
Old man Su stood up suddenly and rushed out with a look of surprise on his face.
Outside the door, the wind stopped and the rain stopped.
A beautiful rainbow hangs obliquely in the sky.
It marks the end of this spring rain.
Old Man Su looked at the servant running towards him and asked excitedly, "Really? Did Old Five really win the top prize?"
The boy's body was wet, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
"Really! Master, the Fifth Young Master is right behind us!"
After the servant finished speaking, he pointed backwards.
A group of scholars in blue were striding towards them.
At the front was none other than the high-spirited new number one scholar, Su Laowu.
There was a strand of hair on Su Laowu's forehead that was wet by the rain.
A few tiny water droplets above reflect the rainbow's rays.
It makes the whole person look more majestic and handsome.
Su Laowu walked closer, lifted his robe, and knelt down on the bluestone floor.
"I bow to thank you, father and mother, for your years of teaching and nurturing." Su Laowu said loudly with tears in his eyes, "I have lived up to your expectations and was chosen as the top scholar by the Emperor!"
Old Man Su's eyes also turned red.
Old Mrs. Su felt a lump in her throat and tears started falling.
Number one scholar!
You know, how many top scholars have been produced since the founding of Dayan?
This is going to go down in history!
Old Man Su took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to cry.
Then, he put his hands on his hips, threw his head back and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha... Great! My son, Su Zhengyang, is the top scorer in high school... Hahaha..."
Old man Su was laughing so proudly!
If I change the lyrics, it will become "I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"
Old Mrs. Su: “…”
The tears could not fall.
"Congratulations to Fifth Brother for winning three prizes in a row!"
Tangbao giggled and ran over to help Fifth Brother up.
"Old Five, well done!" Su Lao San stepped forward, patted Su Lao Wu on the shoulder, and said loudly: "You are worthy of being my brother!"
Su Laowu bowed solemnly to Su Laosan and said, "Thank you for your support over the years, Third Brother. I will never forget it."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Tang Bao again.
"Thank you, sister!"
Over the years, my sister has been my reassurance.
If it weren't for my sister, my journey wouldn't have been so smooth.
Su Laowu knew in his heart that the sacrifices made by his entire family for him were immeasurable.
The eldest brother Su, the second brother Su, and the fourth brother who was willing to marry into the Li family in order to support his studies, all placed great hopes on him.
Fortunately, he did not disappoint this expectation.
Tang Bao giggled and quickly returned Su Laowu's greeting.
"Fifth brother, this is unacceptable. You are already the top scholar..."
"Why not? Yes!" Old Man Su's daughter-slave nature immediately emerged, and he loudly supported his daughter, "You can totally accept this gift from your fifth brother!"
"Dad is right." After saying this, Su Laowu bowed solemnly to Tang Bao again.
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, if she returns the gift, her fifth brother will probably return it with another gift.
Tang Bao reluctantly accepted the salute from her fifth brother.
Old Man Su stepped forward.
"Old Five, not bad!" Old Man Su's face flushed. He patted Old Five Su on the shoulder and proudly said loudly, "You are worthy of being my son... Hahaha..."
Before Old Man Su finished speaking, he burst into laughter again.
Old Mrs. Su was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The servants in the yard all bowed and congratulated him.
"Congratulations to the Fifth Young Master for being the top scorer in high school!"
"Congratulations, sir!"
"Congratulations, ma'am!"
"Congratulations, Princess..."
For a moment, the whole yard was filled with joyful congratulations.
Tang Bao waved her little hand and said loudly: "Reward! Three months' salary for each person!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
As soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, all the servants thanked him loudly with surprise on their faces.
The atmosphere in the princess's mansion became even more festive.
"My dear young master, I have been fortunate enough to fulfill my mission and have been granted the status of a Jinshi by the Emperor..."
"Young Master, Zhang has also been granted the status of Jinshi by the Emperor..."
"Young Master..."
Several candidates from Fude Academy who participated in the palace examination came forward to report the good news to Tangbao.
Zhou Juren and other candidates who failed the spring examination have been escorted back to Fengqi County by Lin Enyi.
Of course, after Su Laoer finished his task, he went back with Lin Enyi.
This way, we can have someone to look after us on the road.
So, those who are left now are all on the list.
Now they have all been granted the status of Jinshi by the emperor.
Although these people are now officials, they are still accustomed to calling the little princess Tang Bao "Little Boss".
Tang Bao was naturally very happy.
"Congratulations to all the new scholars." Tang Bao congratulated with a smile.
Several newly minted Jinshi masters all had smiles on their faces, as if they had been inspired by Old Man Su. They laughed heartily and bowed in unison, saying, "Congratulations, congratulations..."
Old Man Su looked at Su Lao San with a beaming look, waved his hands roughly, and shouted, "Hurry up! Lao San, where are those firecrackers you bought? Quickly have someone bring them out, go to the front door, light them all, and set them off!"
"Okay! Dad!"
Su Laosan agreed loudly and asked someone to carry the box of firecrackers.
Soon, the sound of firecrackers crackling rang out in front of the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
Then, news spread rapidly throughout the capital that Princess Fude's brother, the Su family's abandoned direct descendant, Su Wuhu, had been chosen by the Emperor as the top scholar in the Golden Palace...
