Chapter 747: I'll be fine as long as I'm there
Zou Shuqin was naturally unhappy.
But you can't just refuse directly.
Otherwise, wouldn't her unique way of approaching Bai Shuzhi be exposed?
"That's great!" Zou Shuqin was angry in her heart, but her face was filled with joy and delight: "Thank you so much, Sister Su!"
Tang Bao nodded slightly: "No problem."
No way!
However, seeing Zou Shuqin looking so sick inside but having to pretend to be surprised on her face, I was still quite happy.
After Zou Shuqin finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Su Laowu suspiciously.
"Sister Su, the number one scholar you're talking about isn't Mr. Su?" Zou Shuqin said doubtfully, "Although Mr. Su is talented and learned, and you and your cousin keep talking about him all day long, saying that he's incredibly talented and learned, unmatched by anyone, but—"
An apologetic expression appeared on Zou Shuqin's face.
"But Mr. Su is only a scholar now. Even if he can pass the imperial examination this time, he may not be able to become the top scorer in the next spring examination. After all—"
Zou Shuqin paused again and glanced at Bai Shuzhi.
"Mr. Bai San is extremely talented. He studied under Mr. Fang and is recognized as a top scholar. Shuqin feels that with Mr. Bai San around, Mr. Su might not be able to fulfill his wish..."
After Zou Shuqin finished speaking, she seemed to realize that her words would be misunderstood, and she quickly defended herself, "Oh, I didn't mean to look down on Mr. Su by saying this. Sister Su, don't think too much about it. It's really you and your cousin who kept saying that Mr. Su would definitely be the top scorer in the imperial examination..."
Tang Bao: ...
What a scheming bitch!
"Humph! What a big tone!"
Bai Shuzhi snorted coldly and looked at Su Laowu with a provocative and disdainful look.
Su Laowu's eyes were sharp and his expression was indifferent as he said, "Excuse me! It's just human nature. Any family with a scholar will definitely have this wish. I believe that Mr. Bai's family is also like this!"
Bai Shuzhi: “…”
There is no rebuttal.
Tang Bao looked at Zou Shuqin and said with a strange expression: "Sister Zou, why do you think that the person I want to introduce is my fifth brother?"
Zou Shuqin: "...Isn't it?"
"Of course not!" Tang Bao still had a strange expression on her face. "You and my fifth brother, one is unmarried and the other is married, both are of marriageable age. There are differences between men and women, so we should avoid suspicion. How can you let my fifth brother tell you? Don't you know what the strict rules for men and women are?"
Tang Bao said this at the end, her face full of surprise.
Zou Shuqin: “…”
Not only Zou Shuqin's expression changed, but Bai Shuzhi's expression also changed.
Tang Bao's words seemed to be talking about Zou Shuqin, but actually they were talking about Bai Shuzhi.
A scholar not only asked an unmarried girl's name, but also offered to teach her about knowledge. This is simply inappropriate behavior!
"Sister Su, there is no gender distinction in learning. I am only interested in learning and don't think too much about it." Zou Shuqin gritted her teeth and said.
"Then I'll just think about it more next time." Tang Bao said sincerely, "lest I accidentally spread rumors of something going on and cause misunderstandings."
Zou Shuqin: “…”
I almost vomited blood.
Xia Siya said indifferently, "I didn't know my cousin was so studious!"
Zou Shuqin revived instantly, a hint of shyness on her face, and said, "Although my cousin and I are close relatives, we haven't known each other for long. It's not surprising that my cousin doesn't know me. What's more, I heard that my cousin spends most of her time in the countryside, so I guess..."
When Zou Shuqin said this, she glanced quickly at Bai Shuzhi.
"I guess my cousin doesn't like things like calligraphy and poetry..."
Tang Bao raised her eyebrows. This is obvious. She is trying to seduce Sister Siya!
It really is true - the thief is still intent on stealing!
"Miss Zou, what you said is very interesting. What's wrong with the countryside?" Shi Liu didn't like it and deliberately muttered in a voice that everyone could hear, "We country people are the most simple and kind-hearted. We definitely don't make innuendos or play tricks. As for poetry and writing, haven't you heard that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent? If you have the time to be sad about the passing of time and complaining without any reason, you might as well do more needlework to supplement the family income..."
Zou Shuqin's face changed.
If there was one person she hated the most, it would definitely be Pomegranate!
"Sister Su, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're too lenient and you're letting your servants behave unruly. You'll be laughed at." Zou Shuqin looked at Tang Bao, looking like she was doing this for your own good, and said, "Now, when the masters are talking, a maid is muttering and interrupting them. She deserves to be disciplined!"
When Shi Liu heard this, he immediately regretted not bringing the teapot with him when he went out.
Where is her big coarse porcelain teapot?
I'll definitely bring it with me next time!
"My maid is really considerate!" Tang Bao praised: "What she said is exactly what I want to say. Sister Pomegranate, go to the accounting office to collect your reward when you go back!"
"Thank you, Miss!" Shi Liu's face was full of joy, and her voice was very loud. "This is what I should do! As your eldest maid, I should naturally rush to the front. Do you think that even the most shameful things need to be done by you? It would be lowering your status!"
Tang Bao and his servant sang and shouted at each other, which was equivalent to slapping Zou Shuqin in the face.
Originally, Tang Bao wanted to at least save some face for Zou Shuqin.
After all, this is my godmother's niece!
However, if Zou Shuqin dares to bully Sister Siya, I will fight you without any negotiation!
Zou Shuqin was humiliated in public again and again. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.
"What do you mean, Sister Su?" Zou Shuqin said.
"It means literally!" Tang Bao did not give in at all: "Sister Zou, don't you understand what people say?"
Zou Shuqin: “…”
"Oh, that's right. Sister Zou has shameful thoughts in her heart, so she is naturally willing to not be a human being!" Tang Bao said again.
Zou Shuqin: “…”
A face that was pale and blue.
"You, you've gone too far! I'm going to tell my aunt!"
Zou Shuqin became anxious and started to complain.
Tang Bao rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, “Only children complain when they quarrel!”
Zou Shuqin: “…”
A stagnation.
"Puchi!" Bai Shuqing laughed.
"You're quite an interesting little girl." Bai Shuqing said, "What's your name?"
Bai Shuqing raised his chin slightly, with a hint of condescending charity.
It seemed like it was a blessing from heaven that she could ask Tang Bao's name.
Tang Bao glanced at Bai Shuqing and said nothing.
Bai Shuqing frowned.
"I'm asking you a question!" Bai Shuqing said unhappily.
"Do I have to answer if you ask me?" Tang Bao said slowly: "I don't like your tone, so I don't want to pay attention to you."
Bai Shuqing: “…”
As a girl from the Bai family, no one has ever treated her so disrespectfully.
So much so that I was stunned for a moment.
"Sister Su, this is exactly what you did wrong!" Zou Shuqin immediately seized the opportunity and began to attack: "You humiliated me for no reason, and you also want to humiliate Miss Bai. You are simply outrageous! You are just a little girl from the countryside, and you are so arrogant. Do you think this is your country and everyone will indulge you?"
"She doesn't need anyone else to pamper her, as long as I pamper her, it's enough!" Princess Huaning said leisurely.
