Chapter 768: On-site enrollment at the entrance of the Imperial Academy
After hearing Bai Shuzhi's words, Su Laowu raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. No one will tell you because they don't know at all."
Bai Shuzhi didn't believe it at all.
However--
A loud voice came from the side.
"That method was thought up by our young master. As long as we pour water, the food inside will be cooked quickly. As for how it works, we don't know!"
Bai Shuzhi: “…”
With a somewhat stiff expression, he turned his head to look towards the source of the sound.
An energetic candidate wearing a blue bachelor's gown was surrounded by a group of people and was giving a loud speech with saliva flying everywhere.
"Our young boss said that only candidates from our Fude Academy can enjoy this treatment. If you also want it, then you can only join our Fude Academy..."
"Oh, by the way, our young master also said that our Fude Academy also recruits Juren. Our academy's principal is a Jinshi graduate and a former top scholar. He is knowledgeable and has no problem teaching Juren..."
At this time, not only this candidate was giving such a speech, but almost all the other candidates from Fude Academy who were surrounded were doing the same.
The entire entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was transformed into a large-scale admissions speech venue.
The advertising is absolutely top-notch.
It has to be said that at this moment, every candidate of Fude Academy felt not only gratitude but also admiration for Tang Bao.
Because these words were told to them in advance by the young boss.
It can be seen that the young boss had anticipated this situation.
The name of Fude Academy instantly reached the ears of all the candidates.
Not only that, it was also remembered vividly in my heart.
Along with these three days of taste torture.
As a result, Fude College will soon welcome a large number of new students.
There are scholars who failed the exam and there are newly-promoted juren.
This marked the first step for Fude Academy to become famous in Dayan.
After all, compared to the relatively warm weather in the autumn examination, the cold weather in the spring examination is the most torturous.
At that time, having a bowl of hot broth to drink was very important for the candidates.
Everyone understands this principle.
Naturally, as Su Laowu and others went to participate in the Spring Examination, it would also cause a sensation in the capital.
It even reached the emperor's ears.
Of course, this is all later.
After listening to it all, Bai Shuzhi also remembered the name of Fude Academy.
Could it be that... he also wants to study at Fude Academy?
Bai Shuzhi felt aggrieved when he thought about this.
He studied under Fang Daru, so how could he lose his backbone just for a few meals?
But--
Thinking of the hard, cold, dry steamed buns, it seems that backbone is not so important...
"Fifth brother!"
"Fifth Uncle..."
Tang Bao and a group of little nephews crowded over.
I have to say, more than a dozen young boys and girls wearing the same clothes gathered around, which was quite a grand occasion.
"Why are you all here?" Su Laowu asked with a smile.
"We miss our aunt..."
"Let's go find my aunt..."
A few little ones answered first in their baby voices.
As for facing the fifth uncle, he only said that he wanted to see if the aunt was suitable. In the Su family, this is called suitable!
Su Laowu smiled and said, "You're asking your aunt for some candy."
The little guys had their thoughts exposed and laughed embarrassedly.
Xia Siya and the Bai brothers and sisters also came over.
"Third brother, did you do well in the exam?" Bai Shuqing asked anxiously.
He must have done better than the person from the Su family, right?
Bai Shuqing's original pride was almost destroyed after seeing Tang Bao's abilities.
Even his confidence in Bai Shuzhi was affected.
Bai Shuzhi glanced at Bai Shuqing with a pale face. Just as he was about to make some bold remarks, he heard a loud "gurgling" sound from his stomach.
Bai Shuzhi: “…”
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Su Laowu thought of Bai Shuzhi's identity and said, "Those meals were prepared by my two sisters."
After saying that, he glanced at Tang Bao and Xia Siya.
I mean, these two sisters.
"What kind of food?" Bai Shuqing asked in confusion, "Third brother, are you hungry?"
Bai Shuzhi felt that his sister was a little silly.
He has been hungry for three days!
If he hadn't been trying to save face, he would have opened his mouth and asked for food.
but--
"Did you bring any food?" Bai Shuzhi asked weakly.
Face and other things are sometimes not enough.
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Stunned.
She really didn't bring it.
Because when he came out, he was calculating the time so that he could meet Xuanyuan Jin by chance.
How could he remember to bring food for Bai Shuzhi?
Bai Shuqing turned to look at Xia Siya and asked, "Did you bring any food?"
Xia Siya: “…No.”
Actually, yes.
"Why didn't you bring some cakes or something for Third Brother?" Bai Shuqing said dissatisfiedly, "Do you know that Third Brother has been taking exams in there these days and hasn't had enough to eat or drink?"
Xia Siya: “…”
Does this have anything to do with me?
She doesn't feel guilty!
Although the two were discussing marriage, they had not formally proposed.
Even if the engagement was formally announced, as long as she hadn't married him, she had no obligation to prepare food for him!
Bai Shuzhi looked at Bai Shuqing, then at Xia Siya.
"This is..."
Bai Shuzhi thought of his fiancée, with whom he was engaged.
Bai Shuqing immediately said, "Third brother, you may not know this, but she is Magistrate Xia's daughter."
"You are my fiancée?" Bai Shuzhi frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. "Since you knew I was going to take the provincial examination, why didn't you prepare a portion for me when you prepared the meal?"
Bai Shuzhi looked as if it was a matter of course.
Da Pan bumped Er Pan's arm, stared coldly at Bai Shuzhi, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?"
Er Pan glanced at Da Pan, then nudged the arm of Su Chengyao, a young scholar next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?"
Su Chengyao looked at Siwa next to him, patted Siwa's head, and asked in a low voice: "Who is this person?"
The fourth child touched his head.
Then, he leaned close to Tang Bao's ear and whispered, "Aunt, who is this person?"
"It could be your future Uncle Xia." Tang Bao said with some reservation: "It could also be that he is not."
Siwa looked at Su Chengyao: "It might be the future Uncle Xia."
Su Chengyao turned his head to look at Erpan: "Future Uncle Xia."
Er Pan turned his head to look at Da Pan: "Uncle Xia!"
Da Pan: "..."
Suddenly I felt my hands itchy.
Da Pan looked at Bai Shuzhi with a cold and critical gaze.
"The Queen is chirping!" Da Pan said.
"So weak!" Erpan said.
After the two brothers finished speaking, they looked at Su Chengyao together.
Su Chengyao: "... one of you can beat three of them!"
Er Pan said unsatisfiedly: "I can beat eight of them!"
Da Pan was itching to shake his fist and waved it.
"I can beat eight of them with one hand!"
