Chapter 1257: Mrs. Su’s Invincible Skill
The Queen Mother spoke, and the topic naturally turned back to the young scholar Su Chengyao.
Finally, I don’t have to be praised anymore!
Tang Bao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She is also from Alexander.
Not only did Tang Bao breathe a sigh of relief, but the wives of officials around her also breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I don’t have to continue to be tortured. All I hear is how great other people’s girls are.
It sounds so heartbreaking!
If I continue to listen, I will probably have to throw my daughter away...
As for the girls who were secretly pricking up their ears, they were even more relieved.
Finally, I don’t have to worry anymore!
Perhaps it was because Tang Bao's relieved expression was too obvious, Princess Ning couldn't help but glance at Tang Bao, and thought with some amusement: It turns out that the little girl is too thin-skinned.
However, he followed the Queen's words and changed the subject.
"So this is a young scholar." Princess Ning looked at Su Xiaoxiucai and said admiringly, "This child is truly a little prodigy. He is really impressive. Who knows, in a few years, the Su family will have another young top scholar."
Princess Ning said this and looked at Old Lady Su.
He added, "Mrs. Su is so blessed. She has so many children and grandchildren, all of whom are outstanding. She is truly enviable."
"Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right." The General's wife echoed, "I heard that the Su family had the honor of having three Jinshi scholars in their family. Now that your family has established a new ancestral hall, who knows, in the future, you might even be able to surpass them, with three top scholars in the same family..."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Su quickly said, "Your Majesty and Madam are too kind. Chengyao is still young, and he is just studying hard."
When Mrs. Su said this, she glanced at her grandson and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
But he continued, "When it comes to exceptional intelligence, any descendant of a noble family in the capital, if you pick any one at random, they're probably better than him."
As Old Lady Su spoke, she looked at the Queen with a smile.
"The Third Prince and Chengyao were classmates. He is far more knowledgeable than Chengyao, but he simply didn't take the imperial examinations." Old Lady Su said, "Otherwise, who knows, there would be a prince who would win the top spot in the imperial examination..."
Tang Bao: “…”
It turns out that my mother is so good at flattering people.
However, the little brother's knowledge is indeed correct. If he really took part in the imperial examination, he might win first place in one fell swoop...
Although the Queen's temperament was noble and elegant, she still smiled when she heard what Old Lady Su said.
Speaking of which, there is probably no mother in this world who doesn't like to hear others praise her children.
The Queen is naturally no exception.
As soon as Mrs. Su finished speaking, people from Prince Ning's Mansion and others naturally echoed her.
Old Lady Su praised Xuanyuan Jin and the Prince of Ning's Mansion.
"The Crown Prince possesses both talent and virtue, is handsome, filial, and sensible. If he hadn't been exempted from the imperial examination, he would surely have become famous throughout the world. Your Highness is truly blessed..."
After hearing what Old Lady Su said, Princess Ning also smiled.
Tang Bao: “…”
I secretly gave my mother a thumbs up.
Anyway, these two people will not take part in the scientific examination, so I can speak freely.
After all, no one has verified it.
Old Madam Su looked at the first and second wives of the general's mansion again.
"The young masters in this mansion are truly like the saying, 'A tiger father will have a dog son.'" Old Madam Su said without any pressure. "I've heard that each of these young masters is exceptionally skilled. If the imperial court held a martial arts exam, they would definitely be on the list..."
Tang Bao: “…”
She felt that she had to look at her mother with a new respect.
Listen to this way of praising people, how unique it is.
high!
Anyway, the first two will not take part in the imperial examination, and the latter ones will not take part in the martial arts examination.
Of the first two, one had a throne to inherit, and the other had a title to inherit.
The latter few people could not participate even if they wanted to, because Dayan had abolished the military examination long ago.
Tang Bao didn't know that Xuanyuan Jin had already had some ideas because of her words.
As for martial arts competitions, just because there aren't any now doesn't mean there won't be any in the future.
Da Pan and Er Pan looked at each other, and both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
——If Dayan holds a military examination, they will definitely participate!
Compared to reading, they prefer to wield swords and guns.
They had no confidence in the literary exam, but they might not be able to win the martial arts championship...
Old lady Su praised her profusely. Not only did Tang Bao praise her own mother, but the officials were also stunned.
No one would have thought that the eldest daughter of the Lin family, who had lived in a remote countryside for decades, would be so scheming!
Look at how the Queen and Princess are being praised. They are so happy that they can hardly stop smiling.
How come all the limelight was snatched away by the Su family?
However, although these people felt uncomfortable, they did not dare to say anything unpleasant.
Not only can you not speak, you also have to repeat what others say and agree with them.
——Frustrated!
Tang Bao stood beside the Queen with a smile on her face, watching her mother overpower the others and take the top spot in terms of flattery.
It turns out that my own mother can be so versatile.
"Madam Su, you are too modest." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Su family has a long history of learning. Your children are good at studying and have inherited the style of their ancestors. This is a blessing for the Su family."
After saying this, he ordered the palace maid to bring the reward gifts.
The three grandsons of the Su family each have a set of four treasures of the study.
"Go back and study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and serve the court in the future." The Queen encouraged in a gentle voice.
The three Dapan brothers immediately knelt down with the things in their hands and expressed their gratitude with excitement on their faces.
They actually received rewards from the Queen!
Hahahaha... After returning to Daliushu Village, I can show off to Wanglai and the others!
As for Su Laowu, the Queen Mother rewarded him with a set of rare ancient books.
Su Laowu was naturally also very excited.
He had heard Yu Zhilan talk about this set of ancient books before, but he never expected that it was in the palace.
Now, it's in his hands!
Su Laowu thought excitedly that he would take it to his teacher for appreciation after returning home.
A group of officials' wives were envious and jealous when they saw the Empress rewarding the uncle and nephew of the Su family.
The Su family’s favor is too great!
Sure enough, there is no simple person in this Su family!
The atmosphere in the octagonal pavilion was harmonious, but the atmosphere among the men was not so good.
When Prince Ning heard that Prince Xiao of Northern Qi had returned, he couldn't help but frown.
As the saying goes, guests are welcome, so we can’t just turn people away, right?
Prince Ning ordered the steward to invite the person in.
Soon, Prince Xiao strode over.
"I wonder what Prince Xiao has come back for?" Prince Ning asked. "Could it be that he wants to give an explanation to the Crown Princess of Rong, who you injured? This is unfortunate. The Crown Princess of Rong has already returned home. If Prince Xiao wants to apologize, he should go to the Rong Palace."
Prince Ning took the initiative and directly passed the blame. His position was clear: he would not get involved in the affairs of Prince Xiao and Prince Rong's Mansion.
How could he know that Prince Xiao didn't come for this matter at all.
