Chapter 774: Guan Guan Ju Jiu, on the island of the river
The Su family was just discussing embroidering a phoenix robe for the Empress Dowager when Shi Liu came in to report, "Master, Madam, Madam Xia has sent Madam Zou to pay her respects."
When Mrs. Su heard this, she quickly asked Shi Liu to bring Mother Zou in.
Mother Zou walked in with a smile on her face and respectfully greeted everyone in the Su family.
She was someone close to Madam Xia. Except for Old Man Su and Old Madam Su, none of the younger generations in the Su family accepted her courtesy.
Mother Zou thought to herself: As expected, getting along with the Su family is the most comfortable thing.
"Originally, Madam wanted to come in person, but it was late and there were some things to deal with at home. She was afraid of being impolite, so she sent an old servant to tell her that she would come tomorrow. Please don't blame me, Master and Madam..." Mother Zou said with a smile.
After hearing what Zou's mother said, Tang Bao felt that her godmother was probably dealing with Zou Shuqin's affairs.
I have to say that what Zou Shuqin did was really disgusting.
Whenever Tang Bao thought of Zou Shuqin, she felt that she should give her a few injections.
But the smell today is really bad.
She couldn't bear it and poisoned her sense of smell in order to stab Zou Shuqin.
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Our two families are already very close, so why are there so many formalities? We should definitely visit your house first..."
Mother Zou's face was full of smiles. She said, "My wife often said that the Su family is the one we get along best with over the years. Every time she goes to Daliushu Village, she feels as comfortable as if she were at home. If she doesn't go for a while, she feels like something is missing..."
In fact, in recent years, Mrs. Xia has treated her stays in Daliushu Village as vacations.
Daliushu Village has beautiful mountains, clear water, fresh air, and simple folk customs, making it an ideal place for relaxation.
After speaking warmly, Mother Zou looked at Tang Bao.
"Does godmother have anything to tell me?" Tang Bao asked, but she already knew in her heart.
As expected, Mother Zou said, "My wife hopes that Miss Su will prepare some food for the third son of the Bai family to take to the Imperial Examination Hall..."
Mother Zou paused at this point, then added with a delighted look on her face, "Miss Su also knows that the Third Young Master is, after all, my daughter's fiancé. Although the two families haven't officially engaged, the marriage is already set in stone."
It has to be said that all the maids and servants in the prefectural mansion were extremely happy about Xia Siya's marriage to the third son of the Bai family.
You know, the Bai family is the Empress Dowager's family, a first-class noble family.
Moreover, Mr. Bai San not only has good looks and a good family background, he is also a famous talent in the capital!
It is really a great fortune for my daughter to be able to find such a marriage.
Even the servants in the prefectural government office were whispering that their daughter was able to get such a good marriage because of her good relationship with Tang Bao and therefore benefited from Tang Bao's blessing.
"Mother Zou, go back and tell Godmother that I've prepared it. You can bring it back later." Tang Bao said, "Only when we met at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall that day did we know that the Third Young Master was also taking the exam. Otherwise, I would have prepared one for him earlier."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she glanced at her eldest nephew Da Pan.
Because she seemed to have heard her eldest nephew snort just now.
Mother Zou was overjoyed when she heard what Tang Bao said.
In fact, Xia Siya also knew about this matter, but for some reason, she did not tell Madam Xia.
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she told Shi Liu to get the meal prepared for Bai Shuzhi.
Although there are still two exams, Tangbao has only been given one for the time being.
Mother Zou happily took the things and returned to the prefectural government.
五娃看向糖宝，不解的说道：“小姑姑，为什么夏姑姑要嫁给那个人？我们都想揍他来着。”
Six, seven, or eight kids nodded together and blamed Bai Shuzhi.
"That's right, we all want to beat him up! He bullied Aunt Xia!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Actually, I wanted to beat him up too.
Then, Jiuwa said, "Aunt, wouldn't it be nice for Aunt Xia to marry into our family?"
When Jiuwa said this, his eyes swept across the crowd and fell on Dapan who was standing next to him.
"It would be better if she could marry Big Brother! That way Aunt Xia can live in our house forever!"
As soon as Jiuwa finished speaking, he was immediately echoed by a group of little kids.
"Yeah, marry big brother!"
Even the youngest, Little Ten, Little Eleven, and Little Twelve, nodded.
Anyway, Aunt Xia said she would secretly buy them some candy.
If Aunt Xia had always lived at home, she would have had plenty of candies to eat every day.
After hearing what the children said, everyone in the Su family felt helpless and amused.
Instead, Da Pan's face turned red.
Si Wa sighed and said, "You are still too young. How can Aunt Xia marry Big Brother? There is a generation gap. Big Brother is Aunt Xia's nephew."
"Then..." Jiuwa touched his head and looked at Su Laowu.
Su Laowu: “…”
Don't look at me!
Just as he was about to speak, five, six, seven, and eight kids said together, "Marry Uncle Five!"
Su Laowu's face turned dark.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Su Laowu scolded, "Your Aunt Xia is just like your little aunt, both are Uncle Wu's sisters. Don't say such nonsense in the future, lest it bring trouble to your Aunt Xia's reputation."
Old Madam Su also said, "Your Aunt Xia has already made the promise. If this gets out, there will be no one to talk about it! Don't talk nonsense in the future. Remember?"
When the group of little kids saw Su Laowu and Su Laotai, they all looked serious. Although they were very disappointed, they still nodded in agreement.
Tang Bao glanced at her eldest nephew.
The eldest nephew looked at the group of little kids and said, "You guys should learn your skills well. If that person dares to bully Aunt Xia in the future, we will go to her house and support her!"
A group of listless little kids immediately perked up.
"Yes! Go knock on their door!"
"Beat him!"
"Beat him hard..."
The little kids are ready to try it out.
Old Mrs. Su shook her head in amusement but did not refute.
Over the years, Xia Siya often lived in the Su family, and she treated Xia Siya almost as her own daughter.
If someone bullied Xia Siya, she would certainly not sit idly by.
Old Man Su laughed heartily and said loudly, "Great! You have great ambitions! Your little aunt and your Aunt Xia will rely on you for support in the future! After you return home, you must all study hard. Even you few..."
Old Man Su pointed at the youngest, Little Ten, Little Eleven, and Little Twelve.
"Go to the academy and start your education! Your third brother started his education at the age of three."
Old Man Su cited the young scholar Su Chengyao as an example.
Some time ago, Jiuwa was sent to study in academy.
Now, of the Su family’s grandchildren, only the tenth child, the eleventh child, the twelfth child, and the thirteenth child who cannot walk are left, and none of them are enrolled in the academy.
After hearing what Old Man Su said, the three little guys patted their chests and said loudly, "Grandpa, we have already started memorizing the text. Big brother taught us!"
Old man Su is happy.
"Hahaha, good! Recite it to me."
Sure enough, the eldest grandson is still reliable!
I guess he has already taught his grandchildren to recite the "Three Character Classic"?
After hearing what Old Man Su said, the little ones excitedly recited loudly: "The orioles are singing, on the island in the river..."
Old Man Su: “…”
