Chapter 1796 - 1798: Second Round Victory
Amidst the crowd, applause was constant, Yang Dong knew it was for Li Chuntao.
Thinking about how such an amazing girl once liked him, Yang Dong’s heart warmed. Watching Li Chuntao walk towards him, tenderness filled his eyes, "You’re really impressive, beating those scholars."
He couldn’t say much, only these words.
Li Chuntao smiled slightly, it was just a riddle, actually it wasn’t a big deal, people who think quickly can usually guess it.
This round eliminated four pairs of men and women.
They also received gifts prepared by the Silver Pavilion, this time not silver hairpins, but a pair of jade beads!
The jade beads have a hole so you can thread a chain through to hang around your neck, with a very good meaning, eternal union.
The onlookers discussed the prizes once more.
"This Silver Pavilion really is generous, much more so than the rewards for this event each year, usually it’s just some lanterns or food, or it’s silver, but an ounce of silver is nowhere near as valuable as jade."
"Isn’t it though, but that second round was really exciting."
"Who do you think will win the jade hairpin?"
"If you ask me, that Miss Li who just performed can win."
"But who knows what the third round will be, if it requires two people to participate, I think the man with Miss Li might not be knowledgeable."
"Right, I don’t know how such an outstanding person as Miss Li could be with someone like him."
"..."
"..."
In the crowd, Alu was sweating with worry during her lady’s competition, seeing her lady so remarkable, surpassing those scholars, she was so happy, gripping Xiaoxiao’s arm, she shouted, "Mistress Yang, Mistress Yang, did you see? My lady won."
"Yes, Chuntao is very impressive."
Li Chuntao winning was something Xiaoxiao didn’t expect, those riddles, she couldn’t solve them, well, she finally admitted it, she’s a fool.
Alu said worriedly, "I don’t know what the third round will be, whether my lady can win."
"She can, definitely."
Earlier, when Alu saw Li Chuntao, had she not been held back, Alu would have rushed out, fortunately Alu is a smart girl, once pointed out, she understood, and didn’t go out.
On the other side
Seeing Li Chuntao win, Yang Shushu clapped excitedly, "Teacher is amazing, got them all right."
"Yes, yes, teacher is amazing, I’ve decided, teacher will be my idol from now on, I want to be like teacher," Yang Liuliu followed suit.
"Weren’t you going to be like your third aunt?" Yang Gang’s wife asked her daughter when hearing this.
"Both, both, I want to be like third aunt and teacher," Yang Liuliu said with her little mouth, making everyone laugh and cry.
They hadn’t expected Li Chuntao to win either, they admired Li Chuntao so much, while also worrying about their fourth younger brother, could he catch such a good girl?
Looking at their fourth brother over there, he looked quite drunk, they doubted if he could last till the end.
Just then the sound of a gong rang again, and the scene finally quieted down. The host began, "Next is the third round of the competition, the winner of this round will receive the pair of jade hairpins. Compared to the previous two rounds, this one is a bit harder."
