Chapter 732: No need to eat grass
Xia Siya laughed enough and asked, "Fifth brother, are you really going? You'll be taking the exam the day after tomorrow. Will it interfere with your studies?"
"That's all right." Su Laowu's face was still slightly flushed as he said, "Now is the time to relax. The quality of your studies doesn't depend on whether you study hard these past two days."
Tang Bao said with a smile: "A man of learning is naturally elegant. Fifth brother is overflowing with talent. Now he is just waiting for the exam to begin. He will pick up his pen and write a stunning debut!"
"Right, right!" Xia Siya nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "I am the one who is too particular. Fifth brother is already full of knowledge. He doesn't need to grind the millstone and eat grass anymore."
Su Laowu: “…”
It's both funny and sad.
At this time, Second Brother Xia walked out hurriedly.
"I want to go too." said Brother Xia.
Xia Siya looked at her second brother and said seriously: "Second brother, I think you still need to eat grass."
Second Brother Xia: "...What kind of grass should I eat? Why should I eat grass?"
A look of confusion.
As they were talking, Mrs. Xia's carriage arrived.
"mother."
"Godmother."
"Aunt."
"It's getting late, let's go quickly." Madam Xia said, "You are not allowed to follow me tomorrow. Go back and study hard. You are about to get engaged. If you fail the exam, you will be laughed at by your in-laws."
Second Brother Xia: "...I understand, mother."
Suddenly I feel so stressed!
Xia Siya looked at Second Brother Xia sympathetically and said, "Second Brother, come on! Eat grass well!"
Second Brother Xia: “…”
Second Brother Xia carried a bag weighing a thousand pounds and went back to study.
Tang Bao and Xia Siya got on the Su family's carriage, while Su Laowu followed on horseback.
"Sister Fuya, you put fifth brother's pottery figurine in Sister Bai's box that day. Do you think Sister Bai saw it at that time?" Xia Siya asked curiously while sitting opposite Tang Bao.
Tang Bao thought about it and said, "I think I see it."
"Why?"
"Intuition." Tang Bao made an unfathomable expression.
Xia Siya: “…”
Sister Fuya’s intuition must be true!
"Then let's see later if Sister Bai will return the pottery man?" Xia Siya said excitedly, "If Sister Bai doesn't mention this, then it means she's attracted to Fifth Brother. After Fifth Brother passes the imperial examination, we can have him go to the Bai Mansion and ask for marriage. We can strike while the iron is hot..."
Xia Siya said this and gave Tang Bao a look that said "you know what I mean".
Tang Bao naturally knew what Xia Siya meant.
Xia Siya was afraid that after Sister Ning recovered from her illness, the Bai family would look down on the Su family.
Little did they know that Sister Ning’s marriage was not something the Bai family could interfere with.
"No rush, wait until my fifth brother wins the first place in the imperial examination and gets a little gold." Tang Bao said calmly: "My fifth brother is so talented and so handsome, maybe he can marry a princess."
Xia Siya: "...That's true, but I'm afraid the princess doesn't have such outstanding looks as Sister Bai."
Xia Siya paused after speaking, then continued, "Besides, Fifth Brother loves Sister Bai, so he definitely wouldn't be willing to marry the princess..."
When Xia Siya said this, she seemed to remember something and her eyes suddenly widened.
"Oh right! I heard that there's a saying in the capital about catching a son-in-law from the list! Sister Fuya, when the time comes, you must ask your fifth brother to bring more people to check the list, so that you don't get caught to be a son-in-law!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Isn’t this what is said in opera?
Is this kind of trend still there in the capital?
“Ahem!”
The sound of Su Laowu choking on saliva came from outside the car window.
Tang Bao and Xia Siya looked at each other.
Both of them knew that Su Laowu had heard their conversation.
Xia Siya blinked and said deliberately, "Sister Fuya, you said that Fifth Brother insisted on going with you to burn incense. Was it because he knew... Sister Bai was going too?"
At the end of her speech, Xia Siya stretched out her voice.
Tang Bao: "...Fifth brother, is that so?"
“…Don’t talk nonsense!”
Su Laowu's voice came in.
Tang Bao and Xia Siya both laughed.
As for Tang Bao's words that Su Laowu was the top scorer, Xia Siya felt it was natural.
The carriage soon arrived at the city gate. After waiting for a while, the carriages of Princess Huaning and the Queen Mother arrived.
Tang Bao and Xia Siya went over to pay their respects, and Su Laowu naturally came along.
Although Mrs. Xia did not know the true identity of the Queen Mother, she knew that she was a relative of the Bai family, so she went over to say hello.
After all, his daughter and the Bai family are discussing marriage.
Princess Huaning got off the carriage and bowed to Madam Xia as a junior.
Mrs. Xia also heard about Princess Huaning's illness from Xia Siya and Tang Bao, so when she saw Princess Huaning wearing a veil, she expressed her understanding.
"Sister Ning, please take my carriage." Tang Bao said with a smile, "Let's have a good chat on the way. Let Sister Pomegranate and Shaoyao go to your carriage and join Qingyin."
"Okay." Princess Huaning agreed with a smile.
The watery eyes covered by the veil quickly glanced at Su Laowu.
Su Laowu seemed to have sensed something and looked towards Princess Huaning.
Princess Huaning's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a blush appeared on her face.
But it was blocked by the veil and no one saw it.
Shi Liu, Shao Yao, Qing Yin and the others were also familiar with the masters. After helping them get on the carriages, they went to the carriage at the back.
"Sister Ning, there's no one else in the car, please take off your veil." Tang Bao said, "It will be boring otherwise."
Princess Huaning looked at Xia Siya.
Although Xia Siya had seen her appearance, she had never taken off her veil in front of Xia Siya during the several times she went to the Su family for treatment.
"Sister Bai, are you afraid of scaring me?" Xia Siya said with a smile, "You underestimate me too much. It's not like I haven't seen it before. Could it be that the red spots on your face are even more serious than that day?"
After hearing what Xia Siya said, Princess Huaning hesitated for a moment and then took off her veil with confidence.
Xia Siya screamed "Wow!"
"Sister Bai's skin has improved a lot, and the red spots have faded!"
A smile appeared on Princess Huaning's face.
"It's because of Sister Fuya's superb medical skills."
"That's right! Sister Fuya's medical skills are top-notch!" Xia Siya agreed, "Her master is a world-renowned doctor! Even the emperor wanted to invite him to the palace..."
When Xia Siya said this, a trace of regret appeared on her face.
"It's a pity that the miracle doctor couldn't stay in one place, and now he's wandering around somewhere else."
It was the first time that Princess Huaning heard about Tang Bao’s master.
I couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
In particular, I heard Xia Siya mention the emperor.
She remembered that her father had mentioned that there was a miracle doctor in the village where her younger brother lived.
Moreover, he wanted to send someone to take him to seek medical treatment.
At that time, my appearance was suddenly disfigured, and I was devastated. I felt so devastated that I felt my heart was broken. I felt that my illness was incurable and I just wanted to hide away and never see anyone again. So I went to Tianlong Temple to find the Empress Dowager...
