Chapter 2513 Return to Tianyun (82)
…
In order for her granddaughter to prepare well for the exam, even if Tao Chengyin did not bring a generous gift to ask her, Mrs. Huo would find a way to get her granddaughter back to her parents' home to prepare for next year's hometown exam.
As soon as Tao Chengyin came back from Huo's house, he asked Su Xin and the others to pack up and go to Huo's house tomorrow.
On the second day, which is the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, Su Xin and Tao Mingye took their maid Hongye and servant Rusong to live at Huo's house.
Tao Chengyin also brought it to the gate of Tao Mansion in person with a smile on his face.
Wan Banyan saw that, her eyes were red with anger, and when she returned to the room, she said to Tao Minghai: "It is still unknown whether she can make the emperor make an exception next year, look at your father, she has already passed the test. It's like Wu Zhuangyuan, it's really maddening!"
"Because the emperor mentioned her in the main hall, many officials and adults are optimistic about this matter. They walk with dad diligently and flatter him. Dad has never been so beautiful before, so naturally it's like this." Tao Minghai didn't want to care, but his tone was still the same. How sour, how sour.
Wan Banyan was still dissatisfied, "You have to take the local exam next year. Now he only cares about Huo Xiner, and he doesn't have you at all. I'm not worth it for you! Besides, she can go back to her mother's house to prepare for the exam. You can also follow me back to your mother’s house to prepare for the exam, although my Hou’s mansion doesn’t have such a big campus, it does have a small one, which is much better than yours!”
Tao Minghai was dissatisfied with the fact that Wan Banyan didn't seem to take the Hou Mansion as the head of the family at all, but he didn't say anything, but said, "I'm the first-in-class son of the family. After half a year, Dad will definitely not agree."
"Then he promised Huo Xiner? I don't care, I have to go back to my mother's house anyway!" Wan Banyan got angry.
Tao Minghai didn't want to quarrel with Wan Banyan, so he said, "Then I'll go ask Dad. If Dad agrees, I'll accompany you back to your parents' house."
"I'll go with you too!" Wan Banyan said happily immediately. "I'm afraid what your father says, you just listen to it and don't fight for it at all."
Tao Minghai said in his heart: Even if I fight for it, it's useless, my father will definitely not agree.
But he didn't say it.
Instead, he went out with Wan Banyan to find Tao Chengyin. As for Tao Chengyin's disagreement at that time, Wan Banyan couldn't say anything to him. It's not that he disagrees, it's his father who disagrees.
In fact, he didn't want to go to the Hou's mansion either. He was the son-in-law of the Tao mansion, and he wasn't the son-in-law of someone else's house. His family was also in the imperial capital, so how could he live in the Hou's mansion?
Besides, he's not as good as Huo Xiner, and Wu Xiucai's grades are just below average. He really doesn't have the face to go to his father-in-law's house to prepare for the exam with such a big fanfare.
It would be better if I was admitted to the martial arts exam next year, but I couldn't get it... even more embarrassing!
As soon as he came to the study and saw Tao Chengyin, Tao Minghai hesitated for a while, but at the urging of his daughter-in-law, Wan Banyan, he finished the sentence: "Father, Banyan's mother also has a school grounds, I thought that I would also take the township exam next year, so I just said it. I want to go to her parents' house with Banyan to prepare for the exam."
Tao Chengyin immediately blew his beard and stared, pointing at Wan Banyan and scolding: "Is it you? Did you instigate it?"
Wan Banyan was very aggrieved, but dared not say a word.
Tao Minghai hurriedly said: "Dad, it's not half-smoky, I really think."
"Don't protect her!" Tao Chengyin was furious. "You are the son-in-law, or my only son-in-law. Your home is here, and your parents are still alive. Even if you see that there is a schoolyard in the Houye Mansion that you want to use, you don't have to go there to live!"
