I just want to die of old age

Su Boqiu also coughed lightly and couldn't help laughing. This boy doesn't look like a child of an official at all. He is so naive that it's scary.

Su Yuzhu rolled her eyes helplessly: "If it's not him, then it must be his group of friends, or someone else did it in his name, so why don't we ask those three hooligans?"

Su Boqiu's eyes moved slightly, revealing a gentle smile: "It's okay, I already have a plan in mind."

Su Boqiu secretly instructed someone to tell the county magistrate about this matter.

The county magistrate must be very worried about having such a black sheep around Zheng Yaoming.

Don’t even think about having a good future in the future; this is his blatant conspiracy.

However, this trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife could not be hidden from the county magistrate who had been in the officialdom for many years.

Seeing this, Su Yuzhu put aside the few tormenting methods that lingered in her mind.

Sure enough, Su Boqiu contrived a way to pass the news to the ears of the legal advisor under County Magistrate Zheng. Since the matter concerned the county magistrate's favorite youngest son, the legal advisor did not dare to hide it and reported it.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that the man was not very smart and was surrounded by a bunch of messy people.

Of course, he didn't just listen to one person's words. After sending people to investigate and collect evidence, things turned out to be more annoying than he had imagined.

These bad friends secretly suppress outstanding students and prevent them from succeeding.

He also used Zheng Yaoming's identity to do evil things outside, making many victims dare not speak out.

The most recent incident was targeting a student named Su Boqiu.

When County Magistrate Zheng read the information about Su Boqiu, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He was indeed a talented person with extraordinary gifts.

Although his younger brother is inferior in literature, he has a natural talent for martial arts and will be able to be both civil and military in the future.

County Magistrate Zheng couldn't help but feel envious. Other people's sons were outstanding, but his own son only made him angry.

County Magistrate Zheng came to his senses instantly, wondering if he had deliberately spread the news.

He couldn't help but stroke the beard on his lips with a smile. He was not angry at all. Instead, he admired it very much.

He is upright and unconventional in his conduct, which is a character that teachers admire, and he is extremely talented.

County Magistrate Zheng thought of his teacher who lived in seclusion here. He chose to come to Qingyun County just to take care of his teacher.

But due to my busy schedule, I can only visit him every few days.

Doing this really kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he is indeed a good seedling, and on the other hand, Su Boqiu did suffer an unexpected disaster and feels guilty.

It depends on how you perform in the county and prefectural examinations, and then I will recommend you to the teacher.

As for Zheng Yaoming, County Magistrate Zheng sent someone to call him home and immediately gave him a loving education.

Zheng Yaoming could only stand in horse stance, not knowing why, holding the vase with trembling hands, looking at his father pitifully.

The county magistrate's wife came hurriedly over, surrounded by her maids.

Zheng Yaoming looked at the county magistrate's wife pitifully, his legs and feet shaking constantly.

Zheng Yaoming, who looked distressed, said angrily, "Master, you can just educate me directly, how can you use corporal punishment?"

"It's the father's fault if he doesn't teach his child well. If he is not taught strictly, he will turn upside down."

"What on earth did Ming'er do wrong that was so serious?"

County Magistrate Zheng told the whole story.

The magistrate's wife was speechless for a moment, her son was so innocent.

The master has always been very intelligent, and she is also smart in handling things, so how come the child she gave birth to is a little stupid?

Zheng Yaoming was stunned and shouted, "Impossible! They are all my friends and would never do such a thing."

Zheng Yaoming was so excited that he tried to get up in a hurry, but his legs and feet became numb and he fell to the ground.

The county magistrate's wife had no time to think about life and hurriedly helped Zheng Yaoming up.

A flash of worry passed through County Magistrate Zheng's eyes, but when he saw that he was fine, he relaxed.

He showed a helpless smile on his face and said calmly: "I have already investigated it clearly."

Zheng Yaoming's face instantly turned as pale as an eggplant hit by frost, and he lost all his energy.

He relaxed for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "How are the people they bullied now?"

Zheng Yaoming has a very positive outlook on life, and it's inevitable that he feels guilty towards those innocent people.

"I have compensated them and punished your group of bad friends. Such habits cannot harm the people in the imperial examinations."

Zheng Yaoming suddenly became confused. He was very serious and attentive in the beginning, but he just couldn't concentrate and gradually gave up.

Now even the character of making friends is not good and I have no judgment on people.

Zheng Yaoming became depressed for a moment, but then he thought that it was because of their bad character, and there must be other people behind it.

So he was smart and said, "Dad, there is a person with very good character in our academy. I want to make friends with him."

Since he has poor eyesight, let's ask Dad.

County Magistrate Zheng couldn't help but sigh that his son was quite good at comforting himself.

County Magistrate Zheng thought of Su Boqiu, who came from a poor peasant family, was generous, intelligent, and upright.

County Magistrate Zheng smiled cheerfully and said, "You can make friends with Su Boqiu from your academy, but you have to apologize first."

"No problem." Although Zheng Yaoming is a young master, he is not fussy about details and does not feel embarrassed at all.

Instead, he was full of curiosity about Su Boqiu and was happy that he could make friends again.

"He will take the imperial examination soon. You should not bother him during this period. Just send the gift and show your appreciation."

No one knows a son better than his father. You can tell what Zheng Yaoming is thinking just by looking at his feet.

Zheng Yaoming felt very disappointed and could only obey.

Su Boqiu didn't know that he had temporarily avoided trouble. He just sneezed a few times at home.

Su's mother was so anxious that she wanted to see a doctor, and was relieved after knowing that she did not have a cold.

Su Yuzhu also specially boiled a bowl of ginger soup just in case.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the imperial examination.

Thanks to Su Yuzhu's thorough preparation, food and clothing were all in place.

After undergoing rigorous examinations, the two elder brothers went in to take the exams, leaving Su's father and mother anxious outside.

On the way home, they happened to meet Grandpa Su and his family. Since the last quarrel, Su Yuzhu's family moved to the county town not long ago, and the two families have not seen each other for a long time.

Su Yuzhu rolled her eyes quietly. This could even happen.

Aunt Liu Yue was extremely resentful towards Su Yuzhu. After the last incident, the two elders were very dissatisfied with her and were in a bad mood all the time.

This time, she happened to meet Su Yuzhu, and the anger in her aunt's heart could not be suppressed and burst out. She said sarcastically: "How long have these two brothers studied, and they are taking the imperial examination? They are simply overestimating their own abilities."

Grandpa Su also showed an unhappy look on his face, and he agreed with what his aunt said: "People who study should be humble, and arrogance is not desirable."

Su Yuzhu directly retorted: "Only people with poor talents would procrastinate. After all, they are too stupid."

This sentence made my aunt-in-law so angry that she was out of breath and her face turned red.
