Chapter 777: The Perfect Son-in-Law
The team from Fude Academy, unsurprisingly, launched another wave of advertising.
Some people even stopped Siwa on the street and asked where Fude Academy was.
Tang Bao began to wonder whether he should make a few banners to mark the location of the academy?
However, there are many illiterate people in this era, so it seems that shouting slogans is still more effective...
"Young Master, do you think we should shout a few times?" Zhou Xiucai asked eagerly, "Look at all these people. They don't even know where our academy is."
Tang Bao took a look at Zhou Xiucai and thought that if Zhou Xiucai failed the exam and gave up taking it, he could be hired as the supervisor of the academy, in charge of the academy's publicity and enrollment.
However, before entering the examination hall, I was still thinking about promoting the academy.
Did he give up because he knew he couldn't pass the exam, or did he have a very good mental state?
"There's no rush to shout slogans. Your exam is the most important thing," said Tang Bao.
No matter how good your advertising is, it will be in vain if there is no result!
When Tang Bao and others arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, Mrs. Xia had already arrived with her two children.
Everyone in the Su family hurried over to pay their respects.
"Knowing that you would definitely come, I didn't go to the Su Mansion. We might as well go shopping in the city later..." Mrs. Xia looked at Old Lady Su and said with a smile.
Although he had a smile on his face, his eye circles were a little dark, probably because he didn't sleep well last night.
Old Mrs. Su naturally agreed.
Although she was not very interested in shopping, since all her family members were here, especially the children, they had to go around since they had finally come to the capital.
Su Lao Er handed a bundle to Xia Er Ge and said, "This contains your meals for the next few days. I added two braised eggs in it this morning. You can eat it with noodles at noon. I said it has a good omen."
Anyway, every candidate from Fude Academy had a bowl of noodles and two boiled eggs this morning.
After Su Lao Er finished speaking, he patted Xia Er Ge on the shoulder and said, "Do well in the exam!"
"Thank you, Second Brother Su." Second Brother Xia said hurriedly.
"What's the meaning?" Bai Shuqing's voice came over.
It turned out that people from the Bai family had also arrived.
Since Old Lady Su and others knew that Bai Shuzhi was Xia Siya's fiancé, they would naturally take a few more glances at him.
Especially Mrs. Xia, she has never met Bai Shuzhi.
Coming to the Imperial Examination Hall today, there's no guarantee that he might not be looking for a son-in-law.
Bai Shuqing was still obsessed with the meaning and looked at Tang Bao with burning eyes.
Tang Bao: "...It's just like you going to the temple and asking for amulets."
"I tell you, the imperial examinations rely on real talent and knowledge!" Bai Shuqing said, "What's the point of praying for a peace amulet?"
Tang Bao thought for a moment and said, "May I be safe and sound during the exam and not have diarrhea?"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
As expected, he is from the countryside and always speaks so vulgarly.
However, thinking of Xuanyuan Jin, Bai Shuqing forced herself to suppress her contemptuous look.
"Miss Su." Bai Shuan walked over and greeted Tang Bao with a red face.
"Mr. Bai." Tang Bao nodded slightly.
Bai Shuqing thought of what the Second Madam had said to her last night, and immediately looked at Tang Bao and said enthusiastically, "I heard there's a rare treasure house in the capital city, full of new things. Let's go take a look together later."
Tang Bao: “…”
Do I know you well?
"If you like something, I can buy it for you." Bai Shuqing said again.
Tang Bao: “…”
It feels like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.
"I, I can also send you off." Bai Shuan blushed and said shyly, "Don't take what my mother said in the flower hall yesterday to heart. I don't mean to dislike you. I, I am very happy..."
Tang Bao: “…”
I didn't quite understand.
Bai Shuyi walked over and his eyes fell on Xia Siya.
As luck would have it, Da Pan turned sideways, blocking Bai Shuzhi's sight.
Bai Shuzhi frowned and looked at Da Pan.
Da Pan was talking to Er Pan and seemed not to notice him at all.
"Third brother, that should be Madam Xia." Bai Shuyu reminded Bai Shuzhi calmly.
"Junior greets Aunt Xia." Bai Shuzhi bowed politely to Madam Xia and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble to have Sister Siya prepare a meal for me."
After saying that, he glanced at Xia Siya with tenderness and affection in his eyes.
Xia Siya: “…”
He rubbed his arms subconsciously.
Mrs. Xia was an experienced person after all, and she immediately noticed Bai Shuzhi's feelings for her daughter, and she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
In particular, Bai Shuzhi then added, "I arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture and should have gone to the mansion to pay my respects to my uncle and aunt immediately. Unfortunately, I had to prepare for the provincial examination and was in a hurry, so I was delayed. I hope you will not mind. After the provincial examination, I will definitely go to pay my respects to my uncle and aunt."
Bai Shu's words were respectful and polite, and he was very courteous.
It not only shows respect for Magistrate Xia and Mrs. Xia, but also shows the importance and satisfaction of this marriage.
Mrs. Xia was so happy that she could hardly stop smiling.
I was originally worried that Bai Shuzhi, as the eldest son of the Bai family and a man of talent, might be arrogant and dissatisfied with this marriage.
In addition, with the matter of Zou Shuqin, he was afraid that Bai Shuzhi had been seduced by Zou Shuqin and had feelings for her.
Now it seems that there is no need to worry at all!
For a moment, all of Mrs. Xia's anxiety disappeared.
The more I read Bai Shuzhi, the more satisfied I am.
"Since the provincial examination is important, we don't care about those conventional rituals. For the next exam, your aunt will ask Siya to prepare meals for you. You just need to do well in the exam." Mrs. Xia looked at her like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
"Thank you so much, aunt." Bai Shuzhi bowed to Madam Xia again.
Mrs. Xia was even more satisfied.
This son-in-law has good looks, a good family background, and is talented...
Oh my, it’s absolutely perfect!
When Xia Siya saw her mother, she had two crow's feet from laughing, and she was speechless.
However, I was quite surprised by Bai Shuzhi's attitude.
She thought that Bai Shuzhi only looked down on others.
It turns out that he behaves like a decent person in front of his elders.
Bai Shuzhi, who looked like a decent person, looked at Xia Siya again.
"Thank you, sister Siya." Bai Shuzhi said affectionately.
Xia Siya: “…”
Trying hard to resist the urge to rub your arms.
It seems impolite.
"Haha... no problem." Xia Siya said dryly.
Just don't look at me like that.
Goosebumps come back again!
After Su Laowu and others entered the examination room, Mrs. Xia originally wanted to take everyone in the Su family to visit the provincial capital, after all, she was the host.
But Tang Bao noticed the dark circles under her godmother's eyes and said considerately, "Godmother, I'm afraid you didn't sleep well last night. You might as well go back home and have a rest."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, Mrs. Su also said: "Tang Bao is right. We are not outsiders. We don't need to pay attention to those empty formalities."
Mrs. Xia was happy and had a lot to say to Old Lady Su.
Wen Yan said: "In this case, let Siya and Fuya take the boss and the others for a walk, and my sister-in-law and I will go back to the Su Mansion to sit down."
Anyway, the Imperial Examination Hall is close to the Su Mansion, just a few steps away.
Old Mrs. Su saw what Mrs. Xia was thinking and naturally agreed.
Tang Bao also wanted to talk to her godmother about the marriage with the Bai family.
So, after hearing what Mrs. Xia said, she immediately said, "I will accompany my mother and godmother home."
