Chapter 1068: The Best Son-in-Law Candidate
"What the eldest sister-in-law said is right." said the second wife.
Tomorrow she will go to the princess's residence to congratulate her and also let her know what she has said.
Yang Ran, the eldest daughter of the Yang family, looked at her mother and second aunt.
Then, he tugged at Yang Die's sleeve, raised his eyebrows and smiled at her jokingly.
Yang Die's face suddenly turned red.
At this time, in a teahouse not far away, many women from the families of imperial nobles were sitting in their private rooms, watching the lively scene below.
Anyone who has a daughter of marriageable age has started to have thoughts.
Perhaps, some first-class marquis families want to marry their daughters into the royal family.
However, there are also many families who would prefer their daughters to marry into a family like the Su family.
For a time, Su Laowu became a popular candidate for the best son-in-law in Beijing.
"Hurry! Miss! The Fifth Young Master is coming!" Shi Liu shouted while pushing the flower basket towards Tang Bao. "Here you go! Didn't you say you wanted to..."
Shi Liu suddenly paused, and swallowed the words "Princess Huaning" hard.
She also heard about the Prince of Western Qin coming to Dayan to ask for Princess Huaning's hand in marriage.
The matter was of great importance. Even though Princess Linghua was one of her own, she did not dare to reveal the matter between Su Laowu and Princess Huaning.
After hearing what Shi Liu said, Tang Bao put down her pen and took out a branch of bright red phoenix flowers from the flower basket.
"Fifth brother! Look here!"
Tang Bao stuck her head out of the window and shouted loudly at Su Laowu who was riding on a tall horse below.
"Fifth Young Master! Fifth Young Master... the young lady is here!"
Pomegranate also jumped and shouted.
"Laowu, your sister is there!" Old man Su was the first to recognize the little girl's voice and looked up at Tang Bao.
Su Laowu quickly looked up and looked at his sister who was smiling.
Especially when I saw the phoenix flower in my sister's hand and her mischievous eyes, I immediately understood what was going on.
"Fifth brother, go on!"
Tang Bao said excitedly and threw the flowers in her hand towards Su Laowu.
Su Laowu raised his hand, and the fiery red phoenix fire fell steadily into the hands of the new top scholar.
The people on both sides of the road who were watching the excitement, as well as the young girls and wives who were holding flowers and throwing them at Su Laowu, all seemed to have pressed the pause button.
He caught...
Caught...
Live...
...
People looked at the phoenix flowers in Su Laowu's hand in shock, then all looked up at the girl in the teahouse.
The little girl had a beautiful smile, delicate eyebrows, and a pair of distinct black and white eyes that seemed to be filled with the starlight of the night sky...
Hey! Whose little girl is this? She's so blessed...
“Clatter…”
The unmarried girls holding flowers on both sides of the road were heartbroken.
"Thank you, sister!" Su Laowu said loudly.
younger sister?
Everyone looked at Tang Bao and then at Su Laowu.
Sure enough, the two of them have some similarities in appearance.
So, the broken hearts of those unmarried girls were pieced together again.
The originally pale little face now showed a blush of shyness.
Little did they know that Su Laowu's "thank you" was to thank Tang Bao for giving flowers on behalf of Princess Huaning.
"Girl!" Old man Su waved loudly at the little girl.
"Dad!" Tang Bao shouted crisply and waved to Old Man Su.
Everyone: “…”
Oh, it turns out that this is not the number one scholar’s groom, but the number one scholar’s father.
"Dad, are you tired? Why don't you get on the horse?" asked Su Laowu.
He was riding on a horse and his father was following beside him. How could he stay seated on the horse?
I feel like there are needles under my butt, it's so scary.
"Why are you tired? Your father used to climb two mountains in one day and he never felt tired!" said old man Su proudly.
What's more, if the number one scholar is paraded through the streets on horseback, can the number one scholar's father also be paraded through the streets on horseback?
"Let's go! Go to the gate of the Su family and walk around it a few times!" Old Man Su urged.
This matter has been agreed upon long ago!
Even though the plaque of that house was smashed, this step cannot be missed.
You know, there is a tablet of the Su family's ancestor in the ancestral hall of that family.
Old man Su refused to admit it. He just wanted the ancestor of the Su family to feel the glory of his grandson winning the top spot in the imperial examination and being paraded through the streets on horseback.
After hearing what his younger brother said, Su Laowu had no choice but to urge his horse to move forward.
At this time, a blue flower slowly fell from the window next to Tangbao.
Su Laowu turned sideways, and the blue flower slid down from his shoulder...
Ye Mingyan's face turned pale.
She was sure that when Su Laowu looked up just now, he saw her.
But--
Ye Mingyan twisted the handkerchief tightly in her hand...
In fact, the parade of top scorers is not just for the top scorer, but also for the second and third place winners, as well as other successful candidates.
If the top scholar is not good-looking or too old, the limelight will be stolen by the third place scholar behind him.
Generally speaking, there is a customary practice when the emperor selects the second and third place winners.
That is, the appearance of the third place winner is more handsome than that of the second place winner.
Even if two people are equally talented, the emperor will choose the one with better looks as the third place.
Although, this is a bit unfair to Tanhua.
Tang Bao was surprised for a moment when she saw the third place winner behind her.
"Isn't this the first person to try it? No, I mean..." Tang Bao said with a smile, "The first person who came to our place, ate and drank, not afraid of the poison? What was his name? I think his surname was Zhao..."
"His name is Zhao Songlin." Princess Linghua said in surprise, "I didn't expect this guy to be so capable that he could even get the third place in the imperial examination."
As soon as Princess Linghua finished speaking, Zhao Songlin, who was riding on a horse, looked up in the direction of Princess Linghua, showing his eight white teeth and clasped his fists.
Then, he clasped his fists towards Tang Bao.
By the way, Zhao Songlin is also good-looking.
If there were no Su Laowu for comparison, this year's third place winner would definitely have stolen the limelight.
Unfortunately, he met Su Laowu, who stole all the limelight from him.
Tang Bao nodded slightly at Zhao Songlin.
"Miss, do you want to throw flowers to this third place winner?" Shi Liu asked. "He looks a bit miserable, walking behind the fifth young master and not even getting a sip of soup."
Indeed, those young girls and wives who were holding flowers in their hands threw the flowers away excitedly when they saw the top scholar coming.
When Zhao Songlin, the third place winner in the imperial examination, came again, he had nothing in his hands.
There were still some flowers in the flower basket in Shi Liu's arms, which were left to throw to the scholars from Fude Academy behind.
After all, they are from our own academy, so we must give them flowers and show our support!
As soon as Shi Liu finished speaking, Princess Linghua took a flower from the basket and threw it towards Zhao Songlin.
"This is the first person who is so grateful to me. I will give him face!" said Princess Linghua.
Unfortunately, the accuracy is too poor!
Although Zhao Songlin tilted his body and almost fell off his horse, he was unable to catch the flowers thrown by Princess Linghua.
