73 Fainted From Anger (2)

Only he could build a relations.h.i.+p with the academy.

Could it be... that he was here for him?

So who was in the carriage?

Was it the dean?

No, no. The dean would not come here personally.

But what if?

Did the dean value him so much that he wanted to visit him personally?

The curtain of the carriage was opened by a folding fan, and a young man in a sky-green robe jumped out.

He was tall and handsome. There was a young man’s aura and heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and there was no lack of scholarly aura.

However, he didn’t seem supercilious.

He was wearing expensive clothes with a jade belt and a clear Hetian jade pendant.

It was obvious that he was the young master of a rich family!

Madam Huang asked softly, “Hao, who is he?”

Chen Haoyuan frowned and said, “Dean Shen’s son.”

Madam Huang was shocked. “Your dean’s son? He’s here for you, right, Hao?”

The dean’s son personally came to visit and even found Xinghua Village from Willow Village. How big was this?

She had recovered her dignity!

Madam Huang pulled Chen Haoyuan forward with a smile and said excitedly, “Young Master Shen! You’re here for my son, right? My son is here!”

“Eh? You’re here too.” Shen Chuan looked at Chen Haoyuan in surprise.

These words made the hearts of Madam Huang and Chen Haoyuan skip a beat.

From Shen Chuan’s tone, he was not here for her son.

“I’m looking for Miss Su!” Shen Chuan asked. “Is this Miss Su’s house?”

Shen Chuan was surrounded by the villagers and did not see Su Xiaoxiao eating corn cobs leisurely behind the crowd.

When the villagers heard this, they didn’t think of Su Xiaoxiao immediately.

After all, Fatty Su was a bully.

The only person they called Miss Su was Su Jinniang of the Su family!

At this moment, Madam Fang walked over with Su Jinniang.

Madam Zhou quickly waved at the two of them. “Jinniang! A young master is looking for you! Who are you again?”

She asked Shen Chuan.

“Oh, I’m from Wutong Academy. My name is Shen Chuan.” Shen Chuan was very polite. He did not look down on her just because she was a village woman.

“He’s from the same academy as Scholar Chen!”

“He’s so handsome!”

“I think I heard Scholar Chen say just now that he’s the dean’s son.”

“Why is the dean’s son looking for Jinniang? Don’t tell me he’s also looking for Jinniang to propose marriage?”

Su Jinniang and Madam Fang came to the crowd and heard the villagers’ discussion.

Madam Fang was stunned.

Su Jinniang also looked at him in shock.

Shen Chuan’s appearance and bearing were flawless. Although he was not as heaven-defying as Wei Ting, he was more than a level higher than Chen Haoyuan.

Moreover, he was the dean’s son! What a n.o.ble status!

If he was really here to propose marriage to the Su family...

The collective hearts of Madam Fang and Su Jinniang thumped.

Shen Chuan said, “You’re mistaken. The person I’m looking for isn’t her. It’s Su Daya!”

What?

Su Daya?

“Make way, make way.”

Su Xiaoxiao casually patted the villagers blocking the door.

Everyone made way for her in a daze.

Shen Chuan finally saw her. His eyes lit up as he went forward and said, “Miss Su! It’s really your house! Looks like I didn’t find the wrong person! However, is your family holding a happy occasion? Why are there so many people?”

“Sigh.” Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “There’s no joyous occasion. It was just about a couplet. Shen Chuan, you came at the right time. Help me see how this couplet is!”

He called her by her name! Did they know each other? They were quite familiar with each other?!

Was this really the Su Daya they knew?!

The villagers were all dumbfounded.

Chen Haoyuan was as shocked as everyone else.

He was fearless if he didn’t know, but he understood.

He had been studying in the academy for five years, but he could not directly call Young Master Shen Chuan!

It was not that they were inferior, but that their relations.h.i.+p was not that close!

After Shen Chuan finished admiring it seriously, he could not hide his admiration and said, “Which expert did you hire to write your couplet? The words are very elegant! The meaning is good!”

“Compared to this?” Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the couplet in Tiedan’s hand.

Shen Chuan did not know that Chen Haoyuan had written it. He took a look and said bluntly, “How can this be compared? This is far inferior to the one on your wall!”

Did they hear that?

The young master of Wutong Academy personally said that Scholar Chen’s couplet was inferior to the Su family’s!

Now, no one was wronged anymore!

The village head nodded in satisfaction. He knew it. The couplets of the Su family were better! His taste was right!

Madam Huang panicked. “Young Master Shen, how can you speak up for outsiders? In the future, when you go to the prefecture city to study with my son, in the words of you scholars, that is... you’re from the same hometown! You have to take care of each other!”

Shen Chuan looked at Madam Huang strangely. “Eh? Don’t you know? Chen Haoyuan isn’t on the list of people going to the prefecture city this time!”

Madam Huang said without thinking, “How can it be? Impossible!”

Shen Chuan said, “Why would I lie to you? The name list was released a few days ago. The students who are going to the prefecture city have long been informed and have gone to settle the city road guide.”

Chen Haoyuan hadn’t received any news. He thought that the list would only be posted at the beginning of spring... Was that the truth?

“W-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.”

Everyone looked at the mother and son differently.

Madam Huang had been bragging for the entire morning that Chen Haoyuan was going to the prefecture city to take the imperial examination. How was she going to clean up this mess?

Chen Haoyuan’s face burned. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.

“Scholar Chen, don’t be discouraged. Whether you go to the prefecture city to study isn’t the most important. As long as you study hard, you will one day stand out.”

The village head disregarded what had happened and comforted Chen Haoyuan, but in Chen Haoyuan’s ears, it was equivalent to ridicule.

He said nothing and his expression was extremely ugly.

At the side, Madam Huang finally couldn’t take the continuous blows and fainted.
