Chapter 770: Exposed
Bai Shuzhi blushed and said, "Although we haven't done the engagement ceremony, we have already exchanged engagement letters, compared our horoscopes, and verbally agreed to it. We just need to choose an auspicious day to propose..."
"That's because there's no betrothal!" Da Pan interrupted Bai Shuzhi disdainfully, saying, "Although women should be virtuous, they should also strictly follow the rules of propriety and observe etiquette!"
Da Pan glanced at Xia Siya and added, "She's just a girl. As long as she doesn't marry into your family through three matchmakers and six betrothals, I have no obligation to take care of your food, clothing, housing, and transportation, lest you be laughed at for being unbecoming!"
"If you truly want to marry her, you should consider her reputation instead of constantly asking her to give you gifts and invite gossip!"
Bai Shuzhi: “…”
Speechless!
What Da Pan said was reasonable and he had no words to refute.
"Who are you?" Bai Shuzhi asked through gritted teeth.
"He is my eldest nephew!" Xia Siya said proudly.
"Yes! I am his eldest nephew!" Da Pan said with a dark face.
Although Da Pan and Er Pan always called Xia Siya by her name in the past.
But as they grew older, Mrs. Su ordered Da Pan and Er Pan not to be impolite and to call Xia Siya "Auntie".
So, Da Pan and Er Pan had to change their words.
However, the two of them and Xia Siya have had a relationship of competing in tree climbing since childhood. There was also a relationship of Da Pan and Er Pan going to the river to catch fish, and Xia Siya was responsible for collecting firewood to roast the fish. Da Pan and Er Pan went up the mountain to catch rabbits, and Xia Siya was responsible for collecting firewood to roast the rabbits.
The relationship between these people is naturally very close.
Xia Siya pointed at Erpan and the others and said, "These are all my nephews!"
After saying this, he was as proud as a peacock about to spread its feathers.
So this is what it feels like to show off having so many nephews!
Bai Shuzhi looked at the group of Su family nephews who looked aggressive and not easy to mess with, and felt like he was about to be beaten.
"Cousin, what are you doing?"
Zou Shuqin walked over with a lunch box in her hand, looking puzzled.
When Bai Shuzhi saw Zou Shuqin, his eyes immediately fell on the food box in Zou Shuqin's hand.
Then I couldn't help but hold my stomach.
Tang Bao looked at the food box in Zou Shuqin's hand and was silent.
Sure enough, the poacher came again.
Moreover, he is still open and not afraid of anyone!
Where does this confidence come from?
"What's in Miss Zou's food box?" Tang Bao's little face showed curiosity, and she deliberately asked, "Did you prepare something delicious for Second Brother Xia?"
Tang Bao said this and glanced at Xia Siming who was walking over.
Then, he continued, "Miss Zou must know that Second Brother Xia was exhausted from the exams and didn't have enough to eat or drink in his dormitories, so she specially sent it to Second Brother Xia. It really is Miss Zou who is thoughtful."
After Tang Bao finished praising, she changed her tone and continued, "However, there's no need to go to so much trouble to bring it over. Are you going to let Second Brother Xia stand at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall to eat? He should go back to the carriage to eat after all."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she looked at Xia Siming.
"Second brother, why don't you take it over quickly? Otherwise Miss Zou will be tired."
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Xia Siming instinctively reached out to take the food box from Zou Shuqin, even though he didn't understand what was going on.
"Cousin, give it to me." Xia Siming said, "It's so heavy, why don't you let the maid carry it?"
Zou Shuqin: “…”
His face changed and he instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding Xia Siming.
Xia Siming: “…”
Why doesn’t it look like it’s for myself?
Xia Siming looked up at Zou Shuqin in confusion.
Zou Shuqin was puzzled and looked at Xia Siya: "Cousin, didn't you bring a lot of cakes for your cousin? Could it be that you didn't give any to your cousin?"
Xia Siya rolled her eyes secretly and said, "How should I give it to you? Like you did, bring it over and let my second brother stand here and eat it in the northwest wind?"
Bai Shuqing cried out.
"Didn't you say you didn't bring it?"
Xia Siya: “…”
The truth is revealed!
"Sister Siya really didn't bring it." Tang Bao said seriously: "Because Sister Siya brought it for me."
"Isn't that different?" Bai Shuqing shouted.
"Of course it's different!" Tang Bao said confidently, "That was brought for me, not by Sister Siya! You asked whether Sister Siya brought it, so Sister Siya would naturally say no!"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
It's a bit confusing!
Bai Shuqing was about to lose her temper when she suddenly thought of Xuanyuan Jin and immediately stopped.
"Okay, if you didn't bring it, then forget it." Bai Shuqing said.
When Tang Bao saw Bai Shuqing, she compromised.
I couldn't help but sigh that the little brother's charm is really unparalleled.
However, this young man from the Bai family next to you, you always glance at me secretly from time to time, what do you mean?
You either watch it or you don't.
Why do it secretly?
Are you afraid that others won’t notice you?
Aren’t you afraid that my nephews will see you and beat you up?
Tang Bao simply turned sideways and patted Bai Shuan on the back of his head.
Although his little nephews had not noticed Bai Shuan yet, his fifth brother had already noticed him.
Didn’t you see that there was murderous intent in Fifth Brother’s eyes?
Zou Shuqin looked at Bai Shuzhi, smiled, and said, "Third Young Master, you've been working hard these past few days. Shuqin specially prepared a few side dishes. I wonder if they suit your taste?"
As he spoke, he handed the food box to Mo Ju who was standing beside him, and opened the lid, revealing the food inside.
"Third Young Master must have not eaten well these past few days, and his spleen and stomach are a little weak, so Shuqin prepared something that is easy to digest. If Third Young Master doesn't mind, please take it back to the carriage and eat it..."
Bai Shuzhi was originally dizzy with hunger, but after seeing the food in the lunch box, he almost drooled.
If he hadn't still considered the scholar's face, he would have snatched it away and started eating.
Xia Siming's face turned gloomy and his eyes turned cold.
I see!
Da Pan and Er Pan looked at each other, and the two brothers rolled up their sleeves at the same time.
Then, his eyes stared straight at Bai Shuzhi's hand.
Young scholar Su Chengyao thought for a while, waved to the little kids, and walked aside.
Bai Shuqing nudged Xia Siya's arm, acting like she knew him well, and whispered, "You're just staring at me like that? Is this your cousin? How shameless!"
Xia Siya rolled her eyes at Bai Shuqing and said, "Even if my cousin is a rotten egg, as long as your third brother is not a green-headed fly, nothing will happen!"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
That seems to be true...
No! Why does it feel wrong?
"What do you mean my third brother is not a green-headed fly?" Bai Shuqing couldn't help but whispered.
Xia Siya asked faintly, "Could it be that he is?"
"Of course not!" Bai Shuqing said firmly.
Xia Siya: “…Hehe.”
Bai Shuqing: “…”
