Chapter 744: Su Laowu Climbs a Tree
A gust of wind blew, and the sweet fragrance of osmanthus filled the air.
The two people under the tree were looking at each other through a layer of gauze.
"How about we go borrow a ladder?" Princess Huaning said.
Su Laowu: “…”
I didn't quite follow Princess Huaning's train of thought.
Princess Huaning looked up at the tall osmanthus tree and said, "The osmanthus tea at Tianyin Temple is made by them themselves. They must have ladders for picking osmanthus flowers. We can borrow one and you can climb up and pick osmanthus branches..."
Su Laowu: "...Actually, I can climb up without a ladder."
Princess Huaning: “…”
His face was full of surprise.
He looked at Su Laowu, then raised his head to look at the more than ten-meter-tall osmanthus tree...
How is it possible to climb up this?
How many educated people can climb trees?
"All the men in our Su family can climb trees," said Su Laowu. "Since I was three years old, I've been climbing trees with my brothers to dig out bird nests."
"But, what if you fall... No, no!" Princess Huaning shook her head repeatedly: "It's too dangerous! Let's go borrow a ladder. Besides, your arm is still injured..."
Su Laowu: “…”
He turned his head and looked at his arm.
He felt that the wound had probably healed.
Moreover, whether he can pass the exam or not cannot be determined by a single osmanthus branch.
but--
"There are plenty of trees on our Phoenix Mountain that are taller than these!" Su Laowu said, "A child of a few years old can climb up. As for this injury, it's no longer a problem."
After Su Laowu finished speaking, he lifted his robe, tucked it into his waist belt, took a few steps, and jumped directly onto the osmanthus tree.
Princess Huaning: “…”
My heart was instantly lifted up.
However, it must be said that Su Laowu's tree climbing skills are very skillful.
Anyone who saw this would find it hard to believe that this was a scholar who was about to take part in the autumn examination.
In a moment, Su Laowu climbed up.
"Which one do you want?" Su Laowu sat astride a tree branch and looked down at Princess Huaning below.
Princess Huaning: “…”
My understanding of Su Laowu suddenly collapsed.
For example, a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, etc.
However, I was very excited.
"I want that one!" Princess Huaning stretched out her hand, pointed at a branch above Su Laowu's head, and said loudly.
There were more flowers on that branch, and it was closer to Su Laowu, so he could pick them with just one hand.
"Okay!" Su Laowu nodded.
There was a rustling of branches and leaves, and osmanthus petals fell...
Princess Huaning tilted her head back, took a deep breath of the rich fragrance, and felt extremely happy in her heart.
It turns out that this is the feeling of doing whatever you want and being free.
"Sister Fuya, let's go climb trees too?" Xia Siya hid behind the corner, looking at Su Laowu and Princess Huaning not far away, and said eagerly.
Tang Bao glanced at Xia Siya's dress and said matter-of-factly, "Don't you want your clothes anymore? If your godmother finds out, won't she beat you?"
This kind of satin clothes will get tangled as soon as they are hung on the tree.
Xia Siya immediately wilted.
"Fifth Brother is such a prodigal son!" Xia Siya thought about it, but still unwilling to give in, she aimed her fire at Su Laowu: "Such fine clothes, but they're ruined after just one wear! What do you mean by 'Young Master Unparalleled in the World'? Can a 'Young Master Unparalleled in the World' climb trees so well?"
Tang Bao found it a little funny.
Fifth brother is not a prodigal son!
It will last!
As for Shi Wushuang, she also felt that the current state of her fifth brother was not in line with Shi Wushuang.
"Sister Siya, you're wrong. Fifth Brother tucked the hem of his clothes into his waistband, and his upper body didn't touch the tree trunk, which prevented the coat from being cut." Tang Bao said, "It's just the hem of the clothes that has some wrinkles."
Xia Siya's eyes lit up: "How about we also..."
"Stop!" Tang Bao hurriedly stopped her: "Sister Siya, this is not Daliushu Village, and we are not children anymore. If you dare to lift up your skirt and climb a tree, I'm afraid my godmother will have a heart attack if she finds out."
Xia Siya: "...then forget it."
"However, we can draw this scene and give it to Sister Ning." Tang Bao said thoughtfully.
For Sister Ning, this moment must be an incomparably precious memory...
Xia Siya nodded.
Then, he remembered something and frowned.
"Sister Fuya, tell me... who was it that wanted to kidnap Sister Ning in the ruined temple?"
Tang Bao: "...No matter who it is, the Queen Mother will send someone to investigate, and Godmother will definitely tell Godfather, and Godfather will definitely send someone to track them down!"
After all, this incident happened in Qingzhou Prefecture.
As the prefect, godfather has an obligation to do his duty!
"Who is that? Come down quickly! You are not allowed to climb trees! It's dangerous..." A little monk saw Su Laowu on the tree and immediately ran over shouting.
Su Laowu: “…”
He slid down the tree, grabbed Princess Huaning's hand and ran away.
Princess Huaning was stunned.
My heart is beating wildly.
It wasn't because someone was holding my hand, but because I was caught doing something bad and was being chased by someone.
This feeling is so novel!
She likes it so much!
"Stop! Don't run!" the little monk shouted, "I see your condition. You can't run away..."
Tang Bao and Xia Siya stood in the corner, clicking their tongues and shaking their heads.
"Fifth Brother seems like a brat," Xia Siya sighed. "He used to act so respectable, but now he's climbing trees and running around holding hands with girls..."
Tang Bao: "...The feeling of youth flying high is so good!"

Bai Mansion.
"Dad, he's just a small examiner. Why do you need to visit him in person?" Bai Shuzhi said in confusion, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.
The master shook his head.
"What do you know? Although Bo Yongqing holds a low official position and has no family background, as the chief examiner, he can ruin your future with just a single stroke of his pen."
"Dad, you think too highly of him!" Bai Shuzhi said proudly, "Even the great scholar Fang praised my son's talent. It's just a small autumn exam, and he will definitely win first place!"
If he were in the capital, he would not dare to boast that he could get the first place in the case.
However, in such a small place, he is the top judge in this case!
After hearing what Bai Shuzhi said, the master showed a proud expression on his face.
His son, who was handsome and talented, was what made him most proud.
However, such an outstanding son wanted to marry the daughter of a small prefect...
I have to say that the master is actually not happy about it.
"Of course I believe in you." The elder patted his son's shoulder and said earnestly, "But everything must be done with absolute certainty. Write a calligraphy piece and give it to Bo Yongqing so he can remember your handwriting."
Although Bai Shuzhi disagreed, he still listened to his father's words, wrote a few words casually, and went out with his father to visit the chief examiner of the Autumn Examination...
