Chapter 287: Sugar Baby also loves to show off
The carriage stopped in front of the county government office.
Su Laoer and Su Laowu got off the carriage.
"Brother, I can do it on my own. You don't have to send me off."
As Su Laowu said this, he was about to take the bamboo basket from Su Laoer's back.
There was smoked meat, fried sauce, dried pheasant, and some nuts in the bamboo basket.
These are the foods that Old Mrs. Su prepared for her son.
Of course, Su Laoer also had a share.
Even Mrs. Zheng and Old Lady Su sent one.
"You can just carry the book box by yourself, I'll do these." Su Laoer said, "Mom asked me to take you back to the academy. It's not convenient for you to carry so many things by yourself."
After Su Laoer finished speaking, he picked up a bundle.
The bundle contained Su Laowu's clothes, shoes, socks and other things.
"Okay." Su Laowu no longer refused. He was his brother after all.
"Why bother with so much trouble? It's getting late now, so Lao Wu can just stay at the county government office." Mrs. Zheng got off the carriage and said enthusiastically.
In order to show closeness, Mrs. Zheng simply called the Su brothers the same names as Old Lady Su.
Ye Mingyan also got off the carriage.
She stood gracefully beside Mrs. Zheng, like a painting.
Originally, the carriage that Mrs. Zheng and Ye Mingyan were riding in could go directly to the backyard through the side door.
However, Mrs. Zheng heard the voices of the Su brothers, so she ordered the carriage to stop.
"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am. I still have to go back to study, so I won't disturb you anymore." Su Laowu said politely.
Although he was facing Mrs. Zheng, he did not look at Ye Mingyan.
Ye Mingyan's face flushed and she glanced at Su Laowu quickly.
The more Mrs. Zheng saw Su Laowu's bright moon and clear breeze, the more satisfied she became.
"In that case, I'll have the carriage take you back to the academy." Madam Zheng said, "My master..."
Before Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, she heard snoring from inside the carriage.
This familiar snoring sound is definitely from my own master.
"Mom, Dad is asleep."
Zheng Yuanzheng rubbed his eyes and jumped down from the carriage in a sleepy state.
"Be careful!"
Su Laoer grabbed Zheng Yuanzheng's arm to prevent him from falling to the ground.
Zheng Yuanzheng was frightened and woke up from his nap.
As soon as he got into the carriage, he fell asleep.
Slept all the way.
Mrs. Zheng was also shocked when she saw her son's reckless behavior.
Then, he looked at Su Laoer with gratitude.
At the same time, he also understood why his master did not ask the coachman to send the person away.
It turns out he fell asleep.
Ye Mingyan looked at Madam Zheng and suggested, "Aunt, since my uncle is asleep, why not let Brother Su Wu take my carriage back to the academy."
The carriage that Madam Zheng and Ye Mingyan rode in was the one that Ye Mingyan rode when he came from the capital. It was the Ye family's carriage.
Compared with the Zheng family's carriage, Ye Mingyan's carriage is obviously much more exquisite.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng nodded with a smile.
Then, he looked at Su Laowu and said with a smile, "Since this is a kind gesture from your sister Mingyan, Laowu will take Mingyan's carriage back."
Su Laowu immediately bowed and refused.
"Thank you, Madam and Miss Ye, for your kindness. It's just a few steps away. No need to bother."
"Fifth Brother Su is too polite. The Su and Zheng families have always been close. How can such a trivial matter be considered a nuisance?"
Ye Mingyan looked at Su Laowu calmly, her beautiful eyes full of light.
Madam Zheng smiled and said, "Your sister Mingyan is right. Old Five, please don't be so formal."
Having said that, it seems there is no way to refuse anymore.
However, Ye Mingyan's carriage was obviously suitable for female relatives.
Su Laowu looked at Madam Zheng, feeling a little embarrassed and apologetic, and said, "To be honest, I'm a junior, and my legs are a little numb..."
I have to say that riding in a carriage all the way was indeed not easy.
Su Lao Er laughed out loud and said, "Hahahaha... Lao Wu is right. Not only his legs are numb, but mine are too. Let's walk back to the academy, brothers, so we can stretch our legs..."
"I'll go with you! My legs are numb!" Zheng Yuanzheng, who had just woken up from a nap, shouted, "I'll carry your bags for you."
After saying that, he snatched the bag from Old Man Su's hand.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng had to give up the idea of sending the person away in a carriage.
"Zheng'er, don't run around. Come back with your second brother Su later, okay?" Mrs. Zheng instructed.
"I understand, Mom!" Zheng Yuanzheng agreed loudly.
"Madam, goodbye." Su Laowu said respectfully to Madam Zheng.
Then, he nodded slightly to Ye Mingyan as a greeting and farewell.
Ye Mingyan gave Su Laowu a bright smile in return.
Mrs. Zheng was very pleased to see this.
My niece and the fifth son of the Su family have some connection.
After County Magistrate Zheng woke up, Mrs. Zheng immediately suggested inviting Su Laowu to live in the county government office.
County Magistrate Zheng naturally nodded happily.
So, Mrs. Zheng was very excited and asked someone to clean up a small courtyard.
Moreover, he specifically instructed Ye Mingyan to take charge of the arrangements.
Ye Mingyan did put some thought into decorating the courtyard in an elegant and simple manner, with an air of nobility everywhere.
However, the courtyard had just been decorated, and before County Magistrate Zheng could go to invite Su Laowu, guests came to his house.
"I didn't know that Prince Zhuo would come to visit. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you in person." County Magistrate Zheng said with some fear and trepidation.
Prince Zhuo, also known as Zhuo Yishu, is the eldest son of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion in the capital.
He was just in his early twenties and had a handsome appearance.
"Uncle Zheng, you're too polite," Zhuo Yishu said. "I'm passing by and would like to stay at your house for a few days. I wonder if it would be convenient for you, Uncle Zheng?"
Although Zhuo Yishu seemed to be asking for help and had a smile on his face, there was arrogance between his brows.
"That's very convenient. I'm honored." County Magistrate Zheng said happily.
Zhuo Yishu is the eldest son of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, so County Magistrate Zheng is naturally happy to make friends with Zhuo Yishu.
So, Zhuo Yishu moved into the small courtyard that had just been prepared for Su Laowu.
At this time, County Magistrate Zheng did not know that his house would have more and more guests.
Moreover, they all came from the capital.
**
The Su family has been very busy recently.
There is a constant stream of people coming to sign up for school every day.
At first, the people who came were children from wealthy families.
Later, he became a child from an ordinary family.
Finally, there are some poor children dressed in shabby clothes.
After asking around, Xiao Tangbao found out that most of these people came from Li's private school.
The reason why they came to register in batches was because of the refund issue of Li’s private school.
Rich families don’t care about the tuition fees, so regardless of whether the Li family private school will refund the fees, they all rush to Daliushu Village to sign up early.
It is different for ordinary families. It takes the whole family's efforts to support a child's education.
Therefore, in order to study under the top scholar and the juren master, he had to run to Li's private school all day long to ask for tuition fees.
Only by getting a portion of the refunded tuition money can I collect enough money to pay the tuition in Daliushu Village.
As for poor families, there is no need to mention it.
I originally borrowed money to study, and I can't get a refund, so I don't have any money at all.
Naturally, Li's private school refused to return the money.
The parents had no choice but to unite and sue Li’s private school.
There are many reasons for filing a lawsuit.
For example, the children of the Li family acted tyrannically in the private school and bullied others by taking advantage of their power.
For example, Master Li is not worthy of being a teacher, and he asks for bribes from parents openly and secretly.
Of course, the most important thing is that all the teachers of Li’s private school resigned collectively.
In particular, the private school’s star performer, Mr. Liu, has already resigned.
According to the parents, the reason they sent their children to Li's private school was because there was a successful candidate in the Li family private school.
Now that the scholar has left, the other teachers will leave soon, so of course they no longer believe in the Li family private school.
After the matter was brought to the county government office, County Magistrate Zheng inquired about the reason, banged the gavel, and ordered Li's private school to return the money.
As a result, Li's private school closed down.
After hearing the reason, Xiao Tangbao sighed secretly.
Look, this is the result of going against God’s own daughter!
Oh! It was hard for her not to be proud.
Little Tangbao felt that he was also influenced by his father and became a little boastful.
