Chapter 932: Encountering the Old Master of the Su Family
When Old Lady Su saw it, she quickly said, "Third Prince, give it to me. I'll take Tang Bao back to the carriage to eat. It's a good opportunity for me to try it too."
After saying that, he reached out to take the oil-paper bag from Xuanyuan Jin's hand.
"Yes, yes, let me try it too." Old Man Su said repeatedly.
How can you use a bag of stinky tofu to kidnap your little girl?
Xuanyuan Jin paused, pursed his thin lips, and handed the oil-paper bag in his hand to Old Lady Su.
Everyone returned to the carriage. Xia Siya looked at Tang Bao and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
Old Madam Su patted her little girl's head and said softly, "What's wrong? Tell your mother."
Tang Bao knew that she had made her parents worried, so a smile appeared on her little face again. She said, "Mom, it's really okay. I just thought it was really delicious, and then I really wanted to cry."
After hearing this, Mrs. Su did not ask any further questions. She just said lovingly, "Since you like it so much, I will try to make it later. We can cook it at home in the future."
"Yeah!" Tang Bao nodded happily.
Little did they know that Xuanyuan Jin had already ordered someone to buy the son from the old woman at a high price.
When Mrs. Su saw her little girl happy, she finally felt relieved.
Xiangmanlou is a famous restaurant in the capital. It does a booming business and is frequented by dignitaries from the capital.
If Xuanyuan Jin had not asked Zhao Wu to come on horseback in advance and book a private room, everyone would have had to sit in the lobby.
However, it was surprising to see Yu Zhilan, Su Laowu and others sitting at several tables in the lobby as soon as I entered the door.
Because the scholars of Fude Academy lived in a courtyard separated from the Princess's Mansion by a small door, Tang Bao and others did not know that the principal and scholars of their own academy had come to Xiangmanlou for dinner.
"Master, Fifth Brother." Tang Bao went over to greet him with a smile.
Then he nodded to the candidates.
All the candidates stood up and shouted "Little Master".
Yu Zhilan looked at Tang Bao and asked, "Did you reserve a room upstairs?"
Tang Bao: “…”
Turning back to look at Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin nodded.
Yu Zhilan's eyes lit up, and she said bluntly, "Give it to me. If you think it's too noisy here, go eat somewhere else."
Tang Bao: “…”
Can she still pretend that she didn't see the master?
It’s okay for her to eat in the lobby, but it’s definitely not okay for Sister Siya.
"Master, why do you insist on going to the private room?" Tang Bao asked curiously.
You guys are a bunch of grown men, can't you eat anywhere?
"I invited guests, but unexpectedly there were no rooms upstairs." Yu Zhilan said.
Xuanyuan Jin looked towards Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu immediately went to find the shopkeeper.
Soon, the shopkeeper came running over with a smile on his face, bowed respectfully to Xuanyuan Jin and said, "Third Prince, there is an empty room upstairs that can accommodate two tables. I will arrange it for you right away."
Xuanyuan Jin nodded.
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked someone to add tables, chairs and benches.
"Master, which great scholar did you invite?" Tang Bao asked curiously.
I have no doubt that I will be wrong.
Since Master Fox brought all these signature students from Fude Academy here, he must have invited some famous scholars to come and give some guidance to these candidates.
But, shouldn’t we visit people at their homes?
Why did you invite them to the restaurant?
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Yu Zhilan simply said, "Fang Daru."
When Tang Bao heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Xia Siya.
Because of Bai Shuzhi, she had heard of this great scholar Fang a long time ago.
I just don’t know if Mr. Fang will bring Young Master Bai here today?
It turns out that this guy really can't help but talk.
Tang Bao was just thinking when a few people walked in from outside.
One of them was Bai Shuzhi.
It must be said that Bai Shuzhi was wearing a brocade robe and jade belt, and a purple fox fur cloak on his shoulders.
He is truly handsome and noble.
Bai Shuzhi didn't notice Tang Bao and the others. He went straight to the second floor after coming in.
Tang Bao understood.
This Third Young Master Bai is not with Fang Daru.
Although everyone in the Su family knew Bai Shuzhi, for some reason, no one greeted him.
The shopkeeper quickly came running over to report that the private room had been cleaned up.
Just as everyone was about to go upstairs, another group of people came in from outside.
"Old Master, please slow down."
"Old Master, please be careful with the steps..."
"Old Master..."
A group of men with literary airs respectfully surrounded an old man with white hair and beard, who was leaning on a cane.
Tang Bao's gaze fell on one of them.
Not only did she know this person, but her parents and fifth brother also knew him.
It was Su Zhengyan who had been to the Su family before.
Tang Bao turned her head and looked at her father.
Old Mrs. Su and Old Fifth Su also saw Su Zhengyan.
Then, he also looked at Old Man Su.
Sure enough, Old Man Su's expression had changed.
He stared at the old man of the Su family, his eyes turned red and his fists clenched tightly.
There was a sense of grief and anger on his face and in his eyes.
"father."
Tang Bao was a little worried and shouted softly.
Old Mrs. Su reached out and held Old Man Su's hand under the cover of her cloak.
"His father, it's all over." Old Mrs. Su said softly.
Old Man Su let out a long breath and tried to look away.
After the old man of the Su family came in, he casually glanced at the people in the lobby. He didn't pay attention to the Su family members, and his eyes fell on Yu Zhilan.
Yu Zhilan glanced at Old Man Su calmly, then bowed to the old man of the Su family and said politely, "Mr. Su."
An expression of surprise appeared on the face of the old man of the Su family.
"Sure enough, Lord Yu, it's been a few years since we last met." The old man of the Su family stopped and said.
Yu Zhilan said slowly, "You are too polite, old sir. I am now a commoner and no longer a member of the Imperial Academy. I am not worthy of the title of sir."
An expression of regret appeared on the face of the old man of the Su family.
"Although scholars should be indifferent to fame and fortune, they should also be mindful of their country and the world, and work to benefit the people," said the old man of the Su family, shaking his head. "Lord Yu was full of talent, but he no longer served the court and resigned so early to retire. It is truly regrettable."
Yu Zhilan looked at the old man of the Su family and said, "What the old gentleman said is very true, but everyone has their own aspirations and desires."
After hearing what Yu Zhilan said, the old man of the Su family did not say anything. He just glanced at Yu Zhilan and turned to go upstairs.
How could a commoner catch his eye?
Su Zhengyan was stunned.
Everyone in the Su family knew him, so he naturally remembered everyone in the Su family.
After all, he had been to so many places, but he was only driven out of the Su family in Daliushu Village.
Su Zhengyan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
