Chapter 241 Uncle is taking you home. From now on, don't call me Uncle, call me Uncle.
Tang Yu immediately tensed up, and her two raised hands froze in mid-air.
He stared intently at Madam Qian, nervously awaiting her next words.
Holding Xiao Su Bao, Madam Qian sighed inwardly, but her expression remained largely unchanged.
"But if you want me to agree, you must pass the imperial examination to become a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination) before you can marry me. You are currently a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination), and the Juren examination will be held next year. You should study hard for the exam this year, and if you pass, I will... marry you..."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu was instantly overjoyed, her eyes and brows beaming with delight.
"Okay, okay, for your sake, I will definitely pass the imperial examination!" Tang Yu was so happy that she didn't see the hint of helplessness deep in Qian's eyes.
Tang Yu is handsome and seems refined and cultured; perhaps I would have been attracted to him in the past…
But now...
Madam Qian knew in her heart that the gap between the two was too great!
"Alright, until then, I hope you focus on your exam preparation and stop thinking about these things!" Madam Qian said earnestly to Tang Yu, pursing her lips.
Tang Yu paused for a moment, and seeing that Madam Qian had finally agreed, she was overjoyed.
"Duo'er, I...can I hug you?" He asked cautiously, his voice slightly hurried and filled with inexplicable nervousness.
This is the person he has been longing for for decades!
He thought he wouldn't be able to wait any longer, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
The joy in his heart made him want to let it all out at once.
"good!"
Qian held Xiao Su Bao in her arms. Tang Yu's hands trembled slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she was both excited and uneasy.
My heart was filled with tension.
"I'll hug you..." He reached out and wrapped his arms around Qian's arm, carefully, with a slight tremor.
A strange emotion flickered in Qian's usually calm eyes...
In the end, however, only a sense of helplessness and sorrow remained.
Little Su Bao looked into Qian Shi's eyes, and the little dumpling suddenly hugged Qian Shi's neck tightly.
"Mom, I want to go home!" The little dumpling sensed Qian's sadness and didn't want to see her mother sad.
At this moment, Madam Qian is just like her own mother back then.
Before my mother became a star, her eyes were always filled with sorrow.
I've seen too many little chubby babies; I don't want to see any more.
"Yes, Mother will take you home!" Madam Qian said softly, holding the little baby.
The little dumpling nodded, secretly glancing at her uncle's excited face out of the corner of her eye.
The little head rested tightly on Qian's shoulder.
Tang Yu didn't notice any of this, and quickly let go of the two of them, following behind Qian Shi with a smile in her eyes.
He simply snatched the little baby from Qian's arms, holding the tiny bundle of flesh and saying, "Your mother is weak, so Daddy... will hold you!"
Little Su Bao...
She looked at Tang Yu with her big eyes and gripped Tang Yu's clothes tightly with her small hands.
"Uncle, are you sure you can handle this? Mom said you're a weak scholar and need to be taken care of..." Little Su Bao quietly defended herself.
Tang Yu blushed, stole a glance at Qian Shi, coughed lightly and protested, "I can do it, I can do it, I'm not weak at all, I don't need to be taken care of! How about Dad takes care of you and Mom from now on?"
Before Xiao Su Bao could even speak, she was interrupted by Madam Qian.
"Don't talk nonsense, you're their uncle!" Madam Qian glared at the man, her face full of exasperation, and said irritably.
"Oh, I understand, I won't tell anyone!" Tang Yu quickly covered her mouth.
Ms. Qian had a headache and felt a little regretful...
Turning her head, she met Tang Yu's radiant smile, a smile she hadn't seen in decades.
That damned smiling face hurt her eyes.
"Alright, tone it down!" After saying that, Madam Qian walked even faster.
Little Su Bao looked at the two of them, her little brain not quite able to process it all.
I don't understand whether my mother likes my uncle or not...
Suddenly, she seemed to see...
The red line, the red line that I haven't seen for several days.
She saw a red thread from her uncle's body constantly wrapping around her mother's body.
Huh...
The little dumpling's eyes widened in surprise. It looked like the red thread was about to wrap around Qian's body!
But the red thread on her mother's body was floating in mid-air!
Little Su Bao didn't understand what this was. She reached out her little hand and grabbed two red threads in the air.
She was about to take a closer look at the two lines, however...
The eldest uncle's red thread seemed to sense something and actually rushed towards the end of Qian's red thread...
Little Su Bao was so frightened that she quickly let go, but it was too late; the two red threads had already intertwined.
She was so frightened that her eyes widened, and she looked left and right!
The red thread was gone, but she had a vague feeling that she had done something...
This is a big deal...
Did she get into trouble?
The little dumpling was extremely nervous, her tiny hands gripping Tang Yu's clothes tightly.
Just then, they came out.
Tang Yu lingered beside Qian Shi, muttering to herself, but no one knew what she was saying.
Qian's ears turned slightly red, but her face remained cold, as if she couldn't be bothered to reply.
Little Su Bao saw her fourth brother from afar and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fourth Brother!" The little dumpling waved to Tang Si excitedly.
Hearing the sound, Tang Si immediately looked over and saw Tang Yu, who was holding Xiao Su Bao, smiling at her own mother, looking at her like a complete idiot...
He was stunned for a moment, after all, when his uncle and he lived in the county town before, his uncle always had a stern face or a worried expression.
Uncle always looked preoccupied back then, and Tang Si was so stunned that he forgot to respond to Xiao Su Bao.
"Mother... Uncle... What's going on here...?"
He glanced at the two of them and sensed an inexplicable harmony in the atmosphere.
I and Xiao Su Bao are like two...
He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt that the two of them seemed to have a certain brilliance...
Little Su Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her fourth brother's expression.
"Haha, Little Four, come on, Dad... ah no, Big Dad will take you home. From now on, don't call me Uncle, call me Big Dad, understand!"
Tang Yu chuckled and patted Tang Si on the shoulder.
The young boy was taken aback, a strange look in his eyes.
He looked at his mother again, and surprisingly, Madam Qian did not refuse. Although she had a stern face, her ears were bright red.
Didn't Mother refuse Uncle's request many times?
Could it be...?
Is Mother's heart fluttering with romantic feelings?
He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask them here.
Little Su Bao immediately seized the opportunity to tug at Tang Si's clothes: "Fourth Brother, hug me!"
When Tang Si saw the little dumpling, he instinctively reached out and picked her up.
Without Xiao Su Bao this time, Tang Yu pursued her even more closely.
Tang Yu and his companion walked in front, while Xiao Su Bao and Tang Si walked behind.
Tang Si couldn't help but whisper to Xiao Su Bao, "Xiao Su Bao, what are Mom and Uncle talking about?"
He paused, then glanced at his uncle's peacock-like appearance and said, "I think Uncle is about to wag his tail!"
Little Su Bao looked at Tang Si, who was speaking in a serious tone, and was immediately amused.
"Mom just said..." Little Su Bao thought for a moment, then shook her head and covered her mouth.
She can't betray her mother!
Tang Si was at a loss for what to do when he saw the little girl like this.
However, my curiosity only grew stronger.
When the group returned home, Butcher Sun and his advisor were weighing the items.
When the clerk saw Qian and the others return, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Her smile deepened, especially when she saw Xiao Su Bao.
Both the young lady and the master of the house liked this little girl very much, so naturally he liked her too.
"Greetings, Miss Su Bao, Madam Tang, and Scholar Tang," the clerk said with a smile, bowing slightly.
Madam Qian quickly returned the greeting, a smile appearing on her face.
This advisor and Master Fu have an extremely good relationship; they are from a small family and cannot afford to offend him.
