Chang’an Peasant Girl

"Okay, okay, let's go in." Knowing that Tao Minghai passed the exam and should be a scholar, Mrs. Cao was very happy. She took Tao Minghai's son's hand and went in together.

At the same time, Mrs. Cao also ordered her servants: "Go and ask the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes that the second young master likes to eat."

The more Mr. Cao behaves like this, the happier he becomes, and the more uncomfortable Tao Minghai feels.

It wasn't until they came to the courtyard where Mrs. Cao lived that there were only Mrs. Cao and Tao Minghai in the house. Tao Minghai said to Mrs. Cao, his own mother, "Mom, Huo Xiner didn't embarrass daddy. She seemed to have done better in the exam than me."

He didn't want to say anything about Huo Xiner's limelight in the examination hall. It would make him feel very shameless, so Tao Minghai just said it vaguely.

When Mrs. Cao heard the word 'like' in Tao Minghai's words, she didn't believe that Su Xin did well in the exam. She also said, "Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. With Huo Xiner's three-legged cat skills, you can pass the exam." Even Wu Xiucai failed to pass the exam, but you are different. Mom has asked your master to teach you since you were a child, and he has been strict with you. You are also practicing hard, just for this day, Hai'er, Mom, you have been admitted to Wu Zhuangyuan. I’m confident, I’m still counting on you to become the top scholar in martial arts and make my mother famous.”

Tao Minghai couldn't express his pain, and he felt even worse. His mother, like him, thinks that Huo Xiner is a three-legged cat in Kung Fu, but Huo Xiner's skills make him feel inferior when he sees them.

Mrs. Cao didn't notice that Tao Minghai's expression was wrong, but said again: "Huo Xiner went to take the martial arts exam, I must not have told your father, otherwise I wouldn't have known about it. It's such a big thing, if Huo Xiner takes the exam It's okay to be a scholar, but if you fail, just wait to be scolded by your father! Okay, Hai'er, you just came back from the exam, go back and have a rest. When the food is ready, I will have it delivered. I went to your house. And starting from tomorrow, you have to prepare to be the groom. You are already seventeen, and you will marry Banyan at thirty. "

"Yeah." Apart from Ying Ying, Tao Minghai didn't know what to say.

As soon as Tao Chengyin returned home in the evening, Mrs. Cao took Tao Minghai to Tao Chengyin to tell him how Tao Minghai did in the exam.

"Sir, Hai'er said he did well in the exam, so Wu Xiucai must have no problem." Cao said with a smile.

When Tao Chengyin heard this, he was very happy and said to Tao Minghai: "Haier, if you can really get the top martial arts exam in the end, you will be really proud of your ancestors."

Tao Minghai still felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he still understood etiquette and said flatteringly: "Dad, you have become a third-rank official, and you are the one who honors the ancestors."

As soon as Tao Chengyin was flattered, he twirled his beard, laughed twice, and then said: "Dad was wrong just now. If you become the top scholar in martial arts, our Tao family will be even more glorious."

Tao Minghai accompanied him with a smile.

Taking advantage of Tao Chengyin's happiness, Ms. Cao began to behave like a loving mother, but her words were secretly causing harm.

Mrs. Cao sighed and said: "Master, I heard from Hai'er that Xin'er also went to take the exam. You probably don't know yet, right? It's okay that she doesn't take my mother seriously. You love Ye'er so much. Ye'er Why didn’t I tell you about this matter? It’s such a big deal.”

Tao Chengyin immediately became unhappy and said with a straight face: "It's really shameful. If you don't tell your family about such a big thing, you're letting her live in the wild in her natal family. I'll have someone move her here tomorrow." They asked me to come back, but I don’t have a family to live in. What’s the point of always living in my parents’ house!”
