But he didn't think much about it. He looked at Su Changan and said, "Mu Xu brought the wine set that he won from Yang Guofu at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. I took it. Then tell the lady that you are the first on the Rouge List."
Su Changan glanced at the large brocade box. Although he was curious about what kind of wine utensils it contained, he almost spit out the water he had just drunk when he heard the last sentence.
Yan Yunxiao said nonchalantly, "Shuya Tower is known for 'all the books in the world are in the tower, and all the world's affairs are known in the tower', so every once in a while, some rankings are updated, such as the well-known Jianghu Thirteen, and the mountain peak thing of the young generation that I mentioned to you before, there is a mountain peak list, and the Rouge List I just mentioned, this list is the so-called ranking of the world's most beautiful women, and Miss took the first place on this list."
Su Changan was a little amused.
Although getting first place seems to be a good thing.
But I am a man!
But after thinking about it, Su Changan didn't know how to complain, because his beauty as a man actually defeated those women.
Or maybe I'm just too good-looking.
Su Changan shook his head helplessly.
Yan Yunxiao continued, "Originally, you should have been on the list of poetry and lyrics called the Talent List, but this year the list will not be ranked until after the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival, so Miss didn't make it."
Su Changan wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Yan Ruyu, then looked at Yan Yunxiao.
Before Su Changan could ask, Yan Yunxiao said, "This girl is ranked third on the Mountain Top List."
Then Yan Yunxiao frowned, looking puzzled: "She's so fat, yet she can still get the 19th place on the Rouge List."
Yan Ruyu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, and remembered that her mother rubbed her face out of curiosity last night.
Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu distressedly, but then he looked at Yan Yunxiao and asked, "What's the point of this list? Otherwise, Aunt Yan can just give me a heads up and remove me from the list?"
Yan Yunxiao shook his head: "His Majesty is very happy that you won first place, so you can't just give up easily. As for the effect, it is probably that everyone in the world knows that the future queen is the most beautiful woman in the world."
Su Changan felt even more ashamed.
But Yan Yunxiao said: "It's not a bad thing anyway. With such a great reputation, all the beautiful women in the world want to get it. Now that I have it, I will accept it. Besides, I see that His Majesty is very proud after knowing it, and he even asked me to tell Hai Wuya that this list ranks well."
Su Changan was helpless, but it seemed he had to take it.
Yan Yunxiao stood up and looked at Su Changan, asking doubtfully, "When you went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple with His Majesty yesterday, did you notice anything?"
Su Changan shook his head, but thinking of the feeling yesterday, he said, "Maybe there are dirty things, but after all, it is a place like the Imperial Temple, so I think it's not surprising if there are."
Hearing this, Yan Yunxiao stretched out his hand and pinched Su Changan's face: "Don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, he glanced at Maomao and said, "Cui Yu came to me for you, but I rejected him. Stay here and be free. A place like Cui's has too many rules and is not suitable for you."
Maomao was stunned, but nodded immediately.
Yan Yunxiao clasped his fists towards Su Changan and said casually, "Let's go. I've found a sparring partner. Tell you, if [Yi Wei Ting] breaks through to the fourth stop, let me know."
Watching Yan Yunxiao leave, Su Changan thought about why Yan Yunxiao asked him if he felt anything in the Imperial Temple.
But after thinking about it, I wondered if Yan Yunxiao had also felt the presence of something dirty.
But after thinking about it for a while, Su Changan decided not to think too much about it.
After all, the more you think about dirty things, the more they will haunt you.
Walk to the brocade box and open it.
A scent of wine wafted out from it.
Su Changan looked over and found that there were many small cups and wine jugs of various shapes, and the materials used were jade, gold, and pure black like obsidian. In short, there were all kinds of materials.
Each material is a carving of a beast.
Lifelike, very beautiful and exquisite.
Yan Ruyu explained, "It is said that this set of wine utensils was made by a master of the previous dynasty who spent more than ten years to make it. For this set of wine utensils, the master traveled all over Daxia and even visited various countries in the Western Regions before he finally made it. I don't know what method he used, but it naturally has the aroma of wine. Even if you pour clear water into it, you can taste the wine."
Su Changan looked at these small cups, thought for a while and asked, "Do you think Yang Guofu has used them?"
Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment: "I used it."
Su Changan frowned: "Put it away. If we use it after that person has used it, it will be disgusting. Besides, if I want to drink, why can't I just drink the wine directly? Why should I drink water?"
Yan Ruyu was speechless because she felt that what Su Changan said made sense.
At the same time, Xun Xia and others also nodded.
Maomao frowned and said, "Can I use this pot? It won't break."
Su Changan looked at Maomao: "Making medicinal wine?"
Maomao shook her head: "You don't drink medicinal wine, so I thought of getting other medicinal herbs for you."
Su Changan immediately said, "Well, you can use it, but just don't give it to me to drink."
Cats are happy.
Yan Ruyu on the side seemed to want to say something but stopped herself and sighed.
I just want to say one thing when looking at Su Changan: just pamper her.
Maomao was asked to use several thousand taels of ink to wrap medicinal materials.
She was asked to use the wine utensils worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels to make medicine.
There was nothing to do, so Su Changan simply washed up and planned to practice calligraphy.
After all, the Dream of Red Mansions is about to be published, and I can’t slow down the pace of the second volume here.
However, because he knew that Yan Ruyu was going to the Eighth Prince's house to get his old writings, he gave "Lovesickness" to Yan Ruyu and asked her to go to the Imperial College to give it to Xun Kuang.
then
Su Changan went to practice calligraphy.
……
The next three days.
Inside Luoan City
There have been shocking news in the past three days.
The first to come was naturally the imperial court, where the common people listened to the story as a form of entertainment.
First, the deputy governor of the imperial guards, Zhao Xiaojia, clashed with the Xuanjia Army, and Zhao Xiaojia's men even injured the general Zhu Huang.
Therefore, all the trouble was brought to His Majesty's attention.
When the common people heard that His Majesty found out that the soldiers of the two armies had fought in a brothel on Huajie Street, they were so angry that their faces turned blue. They left the General Fuguo and Zhao Xiaojia out in the open for a whole night.
Finally, he came forward and learned what had happened. He found out that it was the people from the Imperial Guards who provoked and attacked the Black Armor Army first.
Zhao Xiaojia was immediately dismissed from his position as deputy governor-general, which he had just been promoted to. Not only was he demoted to the position of captain of the imperial guards, he was also directly removed from his position as the Eagle General of the Cavalry Battalion and replaced by Meng Wu, the son of the great general Meng Qin.
Ever since.
This deputy governor, who was talked about as having a bright future in the capital not long ago, suddenly became an ordinary captain of the imperial guards.
Those who thought that the post of Protector General of the Imperial Guards might be taken over by Zhao Xiaojia suddenly lost their temper and didn't know what to say.
As for Zhu Huang, since Guiyu was the one who took the initiative to attack, Zhu Huang went to stop the fight.
Therefore, Your Majesty fined Gui Yu half a year's salary, gave him fifty lashes with the cane, and demoted him to the rank of centurion.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is fair, and both sides are given fifty lashes.
After all, it was the imperial guards Zhao Xiaojia who took the first action.
But the reason why both sides were dealt with was because it lost face for the imperial court.
In particular, I heard that because of the fight between the two parties, the secret bidding at Shihua Pavilion that day was cancelled.
However, there is also a rumor among the common people that Zhao Xiaojia was actually basically beaten to death, because the great general Zhu Huang did not go to persuade the fight, but brought dozens of people to fight.
Each of those imperial guards was more disabled than the other. Zhao Xiaojia's hands were broken and his head was bruised. He looked very pitiful.
But for this matter, ordinary people just talk about it and sigh a few words, after all, it's just for fun.
but
Talk about fun
Ordinary people think that the fun of Yang Yunzhong, the playboy son of Yang Guofu, is more interesting.
Because it was rumored that Yang Yunzhong and several other playboys had provoked the great master, Commander Yan.
So Commander Yan waved his hand and sent those people directly into the prison cell of the Chixia Army.
When it was carried out the next day, some people saw that it was almost broken.
The Taifu family and the other families remained silent.
Some people said that it took a lot of price to get Commander Yan to release the people.
There is no one among the common people who does not hate Yang Guofu's family. Now they see that this family has run into a tough opponent and suffered a loss.
The common people naturally applauded and felt very happy.
But it's a pity, why was he let go?
Apart from these two things, ordinary people find it very fun.
In their view, some other official changes in the temple were nothing and too far away to be discussed with interest.
But
If it had something to do with the court, it would have allowed the common people to compare it with the previous two matters and use it as a topic of conversation after dinner.
It’s still Su Changan.
Everyone knew what happened to Su Changan at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and it was basically confirmed that she would be the future empress.
But what is even more amazing is that this queen is truly extraordinary.
Just a good poem will do.
Her appearance even ranked first on the rouge list, which was said to include all the beauties in the world. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was talked about with great relish, and they felt that such a woman should be our queen.
And
The book "Dream of Red Mansions" was released two days ago.
Because it was marked as written by Su Changan, people who knew about it bought the book on the first day of its publication.
then
