Su Muchen picked up the ginseng soup and drank it all in one go.

Su Muchen put the empty bowl on the table.

Su Wan said with a smile; "Big brother, in a few days it will be the day of the scientific expedition, and I will order someone to send ginseng soup every day, and there are some refreshing medicinal herbs in this soup."

"I will definitely live up to your and my mother's expectations of me, and I will definitely win the top prize."

He promised to marry Shiyu after winning the top prize.

Su Wan and Qin Wanwan are looking forward to Su Muchen and Yang Shiyu getting married as soon as possible and giving birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible.

Su Wan didn't care if it was a nephew or a niece, as long as the child was healthy.

While the two were talking, the little servant walked in; "Big young master, Mama Lin next to Madame is here."

Su Wan raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself what she was doing here?

Su Muchen said lightly; "Let her in."

Su Wan looked at Su Muchen and wondered; "Mama Lin often comes here during this time?"

Su Muchen nodded; "She's here to deliver ginseng soup."

While talking, Mama Lin walked in with a food box.

Mama Lin's eyes fell on Su Wan, she knew before she came, Su Wan was in Su Muchen's room.

Mama Lin saluted Su Wan; "See the Nine Emperor Princesses."

Su Wan let out a faint "um".

"The old slave is here to deliver ginseng soup to the eldest young master." As she spoke, Mama Lin put the food box in her hand on the table.

Mama Lin glanced at the empty bowl on the table and said with a smile; "The eldest young master remembered to drink the ginseng soup, and the old slave retired."

Mama Lin took the ginseng soup out of the food box and led the food box away.

Su Wan's eyes fell on the ginseng soup on the table, and her brows furrowed slightly; "Big brother, when did the eldest lady start bringing you ginseng soup?"

"Ten days ago, Mama Lin would be sent every day."

Su Muchen picked up the bowl of soup, got up and poured the soup into a jar.

Su Wan raised her eyebrows; "Big brother, you will pour out the soup every time."

Su Muchen put the empty bowl on the table and sat down; "Nothing to be courteous or a thief, I know that this soup is not poisonous, she does all this for her father to see, if she can be honest in the future and stop doing bad things, she will always be the head of this prime minister's house."

Su Wan sneered in her heart, dogs can't change eating, how can Shang Qing be honest and do nothing.

Su Wan didn't tell Su Muchen about the fire in Buzhuang, it would be the day of the scientific expedition in a few days, and she didn't want him to be distracted.

Su Muchen wanted to pass the imperial examination and become an official in the court, Su Wan was very much in agreement.

"Big brother, there are still a few days before the exam, you should study well these days, I will leave first, and my father and mother will personally send you to the exam room that day."

"I'll send you out."

Su Wan did not refuse.

The two walked side by side to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As he approached the gate, an old woman with gray hair came up.

"The old slave see the Nine Emperor Princesses."

Su Wan recognized the old grandmother in front of her as Mama Li beside her grandmother.

Su Wan asked; "Mama Li, but my grandmother is looking for me?"

Mama Li smiled and nodded; "The old lady wants to see the princess."

Grandmother wants to see herself, I don't know why.

As far as she knows, her grandmother now lives in a quiet plum orchard, and many plum trees are planted outside the plum orchard, hence the name Plum Garden.

The plum garden is located in the southwest of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is very quiet except when the plum blossoms are in full bloom.

Since the old lady moved into the plum garden, Shang Qing wanted to visit the old lady five times, but the old lady refused.

During the time when the old lady moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had not seen anyone except her son.

Su Wan was a little puzzled, why did her grandmother suddenly want to see her?

Su Muchen knew the old lady's temperament; "Since grandmother wants to see you, you can go with Mama Li, and I'll go back to the courtyard to read."

Su Wan nodded, and followed Mama Li to the plum garden.

In the room, the old lady sat on a chair with an indifferent expression.

Su Wan followed Mama Li into the room, and the old lady just glanced at Su Wan lightly.

"Grandmother, you're looking for me."

Su Wan was a little apprehensive in her heart, and she didn't know why her grandmother, who had a cold temperament, suddenly looked for her.

The old lady nodded, and spoke; "I remember the day of my birthday banquet, you gave me a sachet, you said that you put the contents of the sachet in it yourself, I smelled it good, and I want you to make another one for me."

Su Wan's anxious heart let go, it turned out that her grandmother was looking for her for this matter, Su Wan said with a smile; "Grandmother likes her granddaughter to do it, it just takes some time."

The old lady said; "If it's convenient, you can just write down the contents of the sachet and I'll let people buy it."

"Yes."

The old lady motioned for Mama Li to bring a pen and paper.

Mama Li put the pen and paper on the table.

Su Wan wrote down the contents of the sachet on the paper one by one.

The old lady's gaze fell on Su Wan.

This granddaughter is the most popular with her, and although the birthday gift she gave is not valuable, it is the most attentive.

Today she asked her to write down the contents of the sachet, and she was not reluctant at all, which shows that this granddaughter really regards herself as a relative.

Su Wan finished writing and handed the paper to Mama Li.

Mama Li took the paper and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady took the paper, glanced at it, and said in a light tone; "You can go back."

Su Wan didn't have any displeasure, and turned around to leave the plum garden.

Mama Li smiled and said to the old lady; "The Nine Emperor Princesses are really kind to lead people, and they don't have any princess shelves."

The old lady put the paper in her hand on the table beside her and said lightly; "Knowing people and faces but not hearts, maybe she pretended to be all this."

"The old slave doesn't think that the Nine Emperor Princesses are so scheming, but the old slave thinks that the Nine Emperor Princesses are sincere, old lady."

The old lady snorted coldly; "Only Qin Wanwan gave birth to a boy in the Prime Minister's Mansion, this huge Prime Minister's Mansion, it is not her Qin Wanwan who has the final say in the future, I naturally want to see what her pair of children are like."

The reason why the old lady called Su Wan today was to see if she was pretending to be real on the day of the birthday banquet.

From the expression on the old lady's face, Mama Li could see that the old lady was still very satisfied with Su Wan.

Mama Li smiled and said nothing.

When Shang Qing knew that the old lady took the initiative to see Su Wan, her lungs were about to explode, but she went to visit the old lady in the plum garden many times, but she was blocked from the door.

The more Shang Qing thought about it, the more angry she became.

She swept the teacup off the table to the ground.

When Mama Lin saw this scene, she hurriedly persuaded; "Madam, being angry hurts your body, why do you have to be like an old lady."

Shang Qing said angrily; "I went to see her, she turned me away three times and twice, and today she took the initiative to see Su Wan's cheap girl."

"The old lady's temperament, madam, you don't know it, the old lady has no power in this prime minister's mansion, madam, you are the head of the prime minister's house, madam, you don't need to be angry about this little thing."

Shang Qing thought about it and felt that what Mama Lin said made some sense, and the anger in her heart disappeared a lot.

"Go, bring me a new cup of tea."

Mama Lin answered, and soon brought new tea.

Shang Qing took the teacup and took a sip of tea; "I did a good job last time, I didn't leave any clues, even if she Su Wan knew that it was I who made Wang Youcai burn the cloth village, there is no proof of this death, and she can't do anything to me."

Mama Lin's eyes flashed; "The slave has a sentence that I don't know ......"

"Say!"

Shang Qing said lightly.

"In a few days, it will be the day of the scientific examination, if the eldest young master is in the examination, even if he is not the champion, as long as the eldest young master enters the court as an official and becomes a family, he will have to move out of the prime minister's mansion, if he can hold the eldest young master to the death, madam, you are still afraid that Qin Wanwan will cross you."

Shang Qing thought about it and felt that what Mama Lin said made some sense.

"But......," Shang Qing worried; Su Muchen is Qin Wanwan's biological child, how can we hold him? ”

Mama Lin smiled; "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauty, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, I heard that Miss Biao has reached the age of marriage, and she has not yet decided on a family."

Shang Qing's eyes shone slightly; "You're talking about Shang Jiao?"

Mama Lin nodded; "Exactly."

"Nope." Shang Qing frowned; "Shang Jiao's mother is from a humble background, how can she marry my prime minister's mansion, not to mention, she will not listen to us."

"It is precisely because Miss Biao is from a humble background that she is worthy of the eldest young master, the queen has given marriage to the eldest young master and Miss Yang San of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, Miss Biao is only a concubine when she marries her, if she is a young lady from the house, how can she be willing to marry the eldest young master as a concubine."

"The slave maid heard that this young lady is the most filial." Mama Lin leaned into Shang Qing's ear and whispered.

Shang Qing's eyes rolled; "Qin Wanwan is a poor person, a hundred times stronger than Jiao'er's mother who was born as an official slave, let her marry Su Muchen as a concubine, she looks up to her, presumably the eldest brother will not object."

When Shang Qing told his eldest brother about this, Shang Hao agreed.

A few days later, it was the day of the expedition.

Su Wan came to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning.

Chu Mohan also came along.

In the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Tianan sat on the main seat, he looked in a good mood today, Shang Qing sat next to him, and Qin Wanwan sat on the first chair below.

Su Wan and Chu Mohan entered the front hall, and the three of them stood up and saluted.

"See the Nine Emperor Princes, the Nine Emperor Princesses."

Su Wan didn't see Su Muchen's figure and asked; "Where's the big brother?"

"Your eldest brother, he's getting ready to bring something into the exam room."

Su Wan answered, and didn't wait long for Su Muchen to enter the front hall.

Su Tian'an Road; "Chen'er, are all things packed?"

Su Muchen nodded; "It's all packed."

"Well, let's go."

The group got into the carriage, and the carriage went to the examination venue.

Outside the examination venue, many horse-drawn carriages were parked.

Chu Mohan got out of the carriage first, and Xing'er helped Su Wan and then got out of the carriage.

Su Wan glanced around, there were quite a lot of people, and there were a lot of carriages, in addition to the children of the poor family, there were also many children of rich families like Su Muchen.

Qin Wanwan admonished; "For the past three days, you have to take care of yourself, I heard that it will be very cold inside, and I will bring you a newly made quilt, which will warm up a little ......"
