“Just now, I seem to have heard Chen Xiucai* say that he is the son of the dean.”
*Xiucai (秀才) : is a scholar who has passed the imperial examinations in China and obtained the qualification for admission to academic institution in ancient China.
“What is the dean’s son doing here looking for Jinniang? It can’t be that he’s here to propose marriage to Jinniang as well, right?”
Su Jinniang and Mrs. Fang came into the crowd and heard the villagers’ discussions.
Mrs. Fang’s expression was stunned.
Su Jinniang also looked at him in great surprise.
Shen Chuan’s appearance and demeanor were not particularly impressive. Although he was not as good looking as Wei Ting, he was more than one level higher than Chen Haoyuan.
Moreover, he was the son of the dean! What kind of an honorable status this was!
If he really came to propose marriage to the Old Su family——
The hearts of Mrs. Fang and Su Jinniang fluttered.
Shen Chuan said, “You guys are mistaken. The person I am looking for is not her, it’s Su Daya!”
What?
Su Daya?
“Make way, make way.”
Su Xiaoxiao casually patted the villagers who were blocking the door.
Everyone was dumbfounded and moved aside.
Shen Chuan finally saw her, his eyes lit up as he walked forward and said, “Miss Su! It’s really your house ah! It seems that I didn’t get lost! However, is your family celebrating some kind of happy event? Why are there so many people?”
“Sigh.” Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “There is no happy event, only posting some couplets. Shen Chuan, you come just at the right time. Help me see how these couplets are written!”
She called him by his real name! Did they know each other? Moreover, they seem quite close as well?!
Th… This… This is really the Su Daya they knew?!
One by one, the villagers were all dumbfounded, so shocked that they couldn’t believe it.
The shock in Chen Haoyuan’s heart was no less than what the crowd felt.
Ignorant people were fearless, but he did understand.
He had been studying in the academy for five years, but he couldn’t directly call Young Master Shen as Shen Chuan!
It was not about superiority or inferiority, but because their relationship was not that close!
After carefully appreciating it, Shen Chuan couldn’t conceal his admiration and said, “Which expert write your couplets? The style of the characters are very nice! The meaning is also good!”
“How about compared to this one?” Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the couplet in Tiedan’s hand.
Shen Chuan didn’t know that it was written by Chen Haoyuan. He glanced at it and said bluntly, “Is there any need to compare? This one is far worse than the one you posted on the wall!”
Did you hear that?
The young master of Wutong Academy personally said that Chen Xiucai’s couplets were not as good as those of the Su family’s!
Now no one would wrong Lizheng* anymore, right!
*Lizheng (里正) : An official position in ancient china, mainly in charge of household registrations and tax payment.
Lizheng nodded with satisfaction, ‘just like what he said, the Su family’s couplets are better! His vision is right!’
Mrs. Huang became anxious and said, “Young Master Shen, how can you speak for outsiders? In the future, you and my son will go to Fucheng to study together. In the words of scholars, that is…… Fellow villagers and fellow students have to take care of each other!”
Shen Chuan looked at Mrs. Huang strangely, “Huh? Don’t you know? Chen Haoyuan is not on the list of people who will go to Fucheng this time ah!”
Mrs. Huang said without thinking, “How could it be without my son! It’s impossible!”
Shen Chuan said, “Why would I lie to you? The list came down a few days ago, and the students who went to Fucheng had already received the notice long ago, and had applied for the Fucheng road guide.”
Chen Haoyuan had never received any news. He thought that he had to wait until spring to receive the notice…… Was the truth actually like this?
“Wh… Why?” He couldn’t accept it.
Shen Chuan sighed, “I’m also very puzzled. I clearly told my father that you’re Miss Su’s cousin.”
The way everyone looked at the mother and son completely changed.
Mrs. Huang boasted all morning that Chen Haoyuan was going to take the Juren* examination in Fucheng. Then what would happen now?
*Juren (举人) : was a rank achieved by people who passed the Xiangshi exam in the imperial examination system of imperial China. Xiangshi was also known as the provincial examination. It was a rank higher than shengyuan / Xiucai rank , but lower than the Jinshi rank, which was the highest degree.
Chen Haoyuan felt his face was so hot that he wished he could find a burrow to get in.
“Chen Xiucai, don’t be discouraged. Whether you go to Fucheng to study or not is not the most important. As long as you study hard, one day you will be able to stand out.”
Lizheng comforted Chen Haoyuan regardless of past grievances. But in the ears of Chen Haoyuan, it was like ridiculing him.
He didn’t say anything, and his face complexion was very bad to the extreme.
And Mrs. Huang, who was on the side, seemed to finally be unable to withstand a series of blows. Her eyes darkened and she fainted——
