Shengjing Noble

Chapter 173 Stand out

It was the old lady who stood up from the ground, her face ashen and filled with resentment.

"What are you all doing standing here? Aren't you ashamed enough?"

After saying this, he walked quickly into the gate of the Su Mansion with the help of Nanny Yang, fearing that he would be embarrassed if he continued to stand here.

Seeing this, Su Lanxin also hurried to help Liu Ruyan and whispered to comfort her: "Mother, let's go back and wait for the servant who checked the list to come back and report the news. I believe that my brother and Song Rui must have passed the exam."

"Wait, where is your father?" Liu Ruyan looked dazed, as if she had been stimulated by something, and her face was pale.

Today's face is completely lost. If her husband knew...

Just thinking about it made her feel flustered.

Su Lanxin frowned and thought for a moment, then replied, "I just sent someone to report the news. He should be back by now, maybe he's on his way back."

"It's over. I'm afraid your father will be too happy for nothing... Now I just hope your brother and Song Rui can pass the exam. Otherwise, I don't know how furious he will be."

After saying that, the mother and daughter also went into the Su Mansion in dejection, leaving only a mess outside the door.

Seeing the door of the mansion was closed and the steps were full of scattered debris, it was as deserted as it was just now, which was a sharp contrast.

And now on the other side.

The police finally arrived outside the Lu family’s gate.

Lu Wanjun and Su Lanyin were standing at the door, apparently having been waiting for a long time.

Perhaps it was because he was too embarrassed to report the wrong person just now, the officer was more careful this time and seemed to confirm the name three or four times before starting to report the good news.

"Are you sure your son is Mr. Su Shengyun who is participating in science and technology?"

Lu Wanjun nodded, with a look of confidence and pride, and said loudly: "Yes, Su Shengyun, the first place winner of the poetry competition, is my second son."

The official was relieved and said happily: "Oh, I finally found the right person. Madam, you don't know that I just made a big joke..."

He smiled and briefly recounted the blunder that had just occurred, causing an uproar among the onlookers.

"This Su family is really interesting. They kicked their son, who was the top scholar, out of the house, and now they want to steal the limelight after seeing him get into high school."

"I'm afraid they must be regretting it now. I would say that the Su family is blind, hahahaha..."

"Who said it wasn't true? He was willing to kick out such a good wife and children. Such a cruel person will definitely not have a good ending."

……

Everyone was talking, but Lu Wanjun didn't care. She took the document announcing the good news, with a smile on her face.

"Congratulations, ma'am, congratulations, young master Su Shengyun has won the first place in the imperial examination, which has brought honor to your family!"

Lu Wanjun smiled and turned back to signal, and Cuizhu beside Su Lanyin immediately took out a heavy red purse and handed it over.

"Thank you, sir. This is a great joyous event for our Lu family. Please take these gifts and consider them as a gift to bring good luck to you and others!"

The officer weighed the heavy purse and felt extremely excited, but he couldn't help but think of the small purse that Liu Ruyan from the Su family had just given him.

Comparing them this way, there is a world of difference.

"Mrs. Lu is so generous. We won't be polite then."

"Lan Yin is sending off the adults."

"Yes."

The officers happily left with the reward money. As soon as they left, the neighbors gathered around them.

"Congratulations, Shopkeeper Lu. You have become more and more blessed since leaving the Su family!"

"Who says it's not true? It's because Master Shengyun's efforts are inseparable from the careful teaching of Shopkeeper Lu."

"I've long seen that the children born to Shopkeeper Lu are all outstanding and will definitely become successful in the future!"

……

Lu Wanjun laughed so hard amid the congratulations, and then ordered her servants to distribute wedding money to anyone who passed by.

For a time, there was a long queue in front of the Lu Mansion, and congratulations were heard everywhere, making the scene lively and festive.

Su Lanyin stood in front of the door and gave a quiet wink. Cuizhu understood and immediately picked up a few bags of candy and walked towards the children not far away.

I don't know what she said, but the group of children jumped for joy.

Then everyone took a bag of candy and ran away happily, singing nursery rhymes as they ran.

The general meaning is that the Su family made a big mistake today, and Liu Ruyan is stingy, while Lu Wanjun is generous.

It was lively here, so Lu Yichen came with Doctor Xue and others to congratulate.

Lu Wanjun was so excited that she shed tears. She cried and said, "My Yun'er has studied hard for more than ten years and has never slacked off in his studies. He deserves the results he has today."

"Yeah, it's not easy for this child." Lu Yichen nodded, but then he looked puzzled again, "How come on the way here I heard that the official reported the wrong good news and ran to the Su family?"

"I am also wondering how such a scandal could suddenly happen. It is really embarrassing. Let's not talk about them. We have prepared a banquet today. Please move to the mansion. In addition, we also welcome neighbors to join us for the fun."

The brother and sister talked as they led the guests into the Lu Mansion.

Su Lanyin and Cuizhu continued to stand at the door waiting for Su Shengyun to return.

At this time, Wanxiang Pavilion.

Today is the big day for the announcement of the results, so Su Yongcheng and his colleagues gathered here to drink.

As they were greeting each other, the servant sent by Su Lanxin to announce the good news rushed in hurriedly.

"Master, Master! It's a win, it's a win! Mr. Song has won the first place in the imperial examination, and our daughter will be his wife in the future!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the restaurant looked at them, with inquiring eyes.

Su Yongcheng, who was holding the wine glass, stopped drinking and stood up suddenly, looking surprised: "Who did you say won?"

"Mr. Song, the eldest lady specially asked me to come and tell you the good news."

Su Yongcheng showed a happy expression, but still asked: "What about Hao'er? How is he?"

"I don't know about this little one, but it shouldn't be that bad, right? Master, you should go back and take a look."

When colleagues around heard this, they immediately stood up and congratulated him.

"Lord Su is so lucky! I didn't expect to find such a good son-in-law. Hopefully, good times will come to you in the future."

"Mr. Su is indeed a man of foresight. He arranged the marriage early. In the future, won't Mr. Su's daughter be the wife of the top scholar?"

"Lord Su and his son-in-law will serve in the same court in the future and can take care of each other. This is really a happy event."

……

Listening to everyone's flattery, Su Yongcheng hadn't felt so proud for a long time.

Ever since they were humiliated by Su Lanyin, these people have been mocking him all day long.

His legitimate daughter is lucky enough to bring him glory!

Thinking of this, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, laughing and said, "Great! You are worthy of being my favorite son-in-law. I will choose a wedding date when I go back today. You all must come and participate!"
