Chapter 964: Let’s make a bet
After hearing what Bai Shuqing said, Bai Shuzhi seemed to feel much more at ease and snorted coldly.
Thinking back to when he was in Qingzhou Prefecture, he was a favored child of heaven, but Su Laowu took away his title of Li Yuan, which almost drove him crazy.
That incident was a lifelong shame for him.
Therefore, this time he must let everyone see who is the real talented and knowledgeable person!
Bai Shuzhi was thinking secretly in his heart, but his eyes began to look around.
Soon, his eyes fixed on a figure in the corner, wearing a veiled hat and a bright red gorilla felt cloak.
The figure noticed that Bai Shuzhi was looking at him, and immediately bowed silently to Bai Shuzhi.
Bai Shu subconsciously walked over.
However, after taking a step, he stopped and turned to look at Bai Shuqing.
"Qing'er, didn't you make an appointment with Sister Su and the others to have tea together later? You can go to their place now." Bai Shuzhi said to Bai Shuqing, "The Imperial Examination Hall will open later, and Third Brother can go there by himself."
"How can I do this? My grandmother said that you are the future pillar of our family and she wanted me to see you enter the examination room with my own eyes." Bai Shuqing said confidently.
After hearing what Bai Shuqing said, Bai Shuzhi knew that he couldn't get rid of his sister, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
On this side, Su Laowu couldn't help but smile after hearing what Xia Siya said, and said: "Fifth brother, I will borrow your good words."
"Hmph! What a big tone!" Someone snorted in disdain.
Tang Bao and others looked over immediately.
You don’t know until you see it, and once you see it, it’s a familiar face!
This person was none other than the Su family member who was beaten black and blue by Shi Liu in Xiangmanlou.
Tang Bao took another look.
Well, that group of people not far away all look familiar.
It was this group of people that the old man of the Su family took to Xiangmanlou for dinner.
However, these people didn’t get to eat the meal at Xiangmanlou in the end.
Tang Bao didn't know yet that because of what happened in Xiangmanlou, some of these people wanted to leave the Su family, but failed.
After listening to Su Zhengyan's report, the head of the Su family was angry at these people for being fence-sitters, but he finally endured it.
What to do if you can’t bear it?
Could it be that he would just watch helplessly as the Su family had no successors and its reputation as a century-old scholarly family was replaced by others?
Not only that, the head of the Su family even took a leave of absence today to come and send these people into the examination room to show his appreciation for them.
He had already discovered the team from Fude Academy.
Especially Su Laowu, who was walking in the front, made him suddenly realize as if he saw an eagle spreading its wings and about to soar.
Oh! How nice it would be if this was my own son!
The head of the Su family sighed again.
But I was secretly anxious. Why haven't the people sent to Fengqi County sent back any news?
After all, the head of the Su family still had to go to the yamen to work, so he gave these people some instructions, went through the formalities, and left.
As a result, as soon as he left, his nephew Su Yurui heard Xia Siya's words and sneered at her with disdain on his face.
After hearing what Su Yurui said, Shi Liu immediately flicked her wrist and strode over.
"What's the matter? Didn't you get beaten enough the other day?" Shi Liu said angrily, "Do you want me to beat you up again?"
When Su Yurui saw Du Shiliu, he instinctively shrank his neck.
Then, he felt that he had lost face.
My uncle and the others were not around, but the task of personally escorting these candidates into the examination hall was given to me.
I can't lose face for the Su family!
Su Yurui stiffened his neck and shouted, "Am I wrong? There are so many candidates here, who isn't extremely talented and ambitious? Your young master wants to win the first prize, isn't he afraid of biting his tongue if he brags too much?"
As soon as Su Yurui finished speaking, those candidates who had taken refuge in the Su family but could not leave immediately showed arrogant expressions on their faces.
It is precisely because they are good at learning that this dignified century-old family is so shameless as to want to keep them.
It has to be said that the actions of the Su family head have reduced the awe these people originally had for the Su family.
Instead, my heart swelled up.
Tang Bao walked over slowly, glanced at those people, and said in a crisp voice: "It doesn't matter whether you are satisfied or not, even if you are bragging, but one thing is certain, that is, my fifth brother's test scores are definitely better than everyone in your Su family!"
When Shi Liu heard this, he immediately agreed loudly.
"That's right! Even if our young master takes the exam with his eyes closed, he will definitely do better than you!"
After hearing what Tang Bao and his servant said, the candidates from the Su family immediately showed angry expressions on their faces.
"Humph! How shameless!"
"You are speaking nonsense and are truly ignorant! You are truly a frog in a well!"
"Women's views are short-sighted!"
…
Su Yurui naturally exclaimed, "You don't know how high the sky is! It's true that like master, like servant! Our Su family is a century-old family. Who doesn't have a lot of talent? Do you think you can do better than us in the exam? You're dreaming!"
"Whether it's a dream or not, we'll know when the results come out!" Tang Bao said with a half-smile: "Why don't we make a bet? Do you dare? If you don't dare, you're a puppy!"
Su Yurui: “…”
puppy?
Are you asking him if he dares?
This forces him to agree!
"Why not? What are you betting on?" Su Yurui said angrily.
"Let's bet..." Tang Bao rolled her eyes and said, "If my fifth brother does better than all of you Su family members in the exam and completely crushes you all in the rankings, then you will personally take down the plaque on the gate of your Su family and smash it, how about that?"
She had heard that the Su family particularly treasured that plaque, which had been hanging there for hundreds of years and was a gift from the emperor.
Su Yurui: “…”
After taking a look at Su Laowu's calm expression, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
However, I absolutely cannot say no.
Because if he refuses, he’ll be a puppy!
"What if you lose?" Su Yurui asked with a red face and thick neck.
"If I lose, I will personally take down the plaque on our front door and smash it!" Tang Bao said very stubbornly: "How about it? Fair?"
Tang Bao had an expression that said, "I absolutely did not bully you. This is absolutely fair."
Not only that, after Tang Bao finished speaking, she looked at the people around her to ask for their opinions.
"Everyone, tell me, is my bet fair?" Tang Bao asked crisply.
There will never be a shortage of people in the world who love to watch the fun and make trouble!
Even those who have read the books of sages for many years still have a gossipy mind.
As soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, many people immediately echoed loudly.
"The little girl is right, this bet is fair."
"That's right, the little girl's suggestion is very reasonable."
"Indeed..."
After hearing what people said, Tang Bao looked at Su Yurui with a smile and said, "What do you think? Do you dare to bet? You are not as brave as a little girl like me, right?"
After saying this, a mocking expression appeared on his little face, and he added: "You claim to be the heir of a century-old family, but you are so timid. It's really laughable!"
