Mu Xu thought for a long time and didn't know how to answer.
The young man smiled and asked, "If I were you to study for Daxia, would you be willing? If you agree, I will let you have enough food every day and always have money to spend."
Mu Xu nodded and agreed without thinking.
The young man continued to ask with a smile, "You agreed so quickly? It's just like what I heard, a scholar who would do anything to make a living."
Mu Xu scratched his head embarrassedly. "Who do you study for? I study. But if you don't have enough food, you can't concentrate on studying, just like me now."
The young man burst into laughter.
In the same year, he entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor.
In the second year, he was appointed Director of the Imperial College.
……
Think of this.
Mu Xu chuckled, thinking of the buns that the young man took him to eat. They were so delicious!
I also remembered that when His Majesty was leaving tonight, he handed me a bun and said, "Eat more, you've become so thin."
Mu Xu slightly opened his tipsy eyes, looked at the imperial edict under his pillow, and murmured softly: "Minister, I will never forget my original intention."
……
A literary gathering.
The students cleared up their doubts about [Snow Pian], marveled at the magnificent snow scene in [Snow Pian], the loneliness and sadness under the snow, were moved by Su Chang'an's magnificence, saddened by Su Chang'an's illness, and grateful for Su Chang'an and His Majesty's support. En name.
so.
This article will end.
But the students' passion remains.
The cool breeze of early winter cannot blow away the passion in my heart.
……
That night, students and people in the restaurant shouted, "Congratulations to His Majesty on your upcoming wedding with Miss Chang'an," and even shouted, "We are so lucky to have such a great honor!"
That night, a student was looking at the river and sleeping, thinking how lonely and sad it was to fish alone in the snow on the cold river.
That night, a student looked at the eight poems he had copied down, shook his head, and began to wonder whether he should take the exam for his limited literary talent. But thinking about the reputation, he decided not to give up.
That night, a drunk student, excited about the reputation and obsessed with the thousands of pear trees in bloom, tore the cotton from his quilt while drunk, and hung the flowers on the branches, shouting "Suddenly, the spring breeze came!"
That night, this city that never sleeps was occupied by scholars. There was an endless stream of cheers and poems praising, applauding and blessing the current emperor and Su Chang'an, just because of the honor.
……
In the Su Mansion, a pair of sisters were together in the Yimei Courtyard. The younger sister excitedly showed off the jade token given to her by her amazing 'sister-in-law', because with this jade token, she could go to the palace to find her sister at any time.
The elder sister looked at her younger sister lovingly, recalling the flirting between her elder sister and her 'sister-in-law' at the literary gathering.
But the more I thought about it, the more goosebumps appeared on my skin. But I still had a silly smile on my face and felt so happy.
……
Cui Mansion, Cui Yu sighed and silently wrote in his little notebook, "It's another day without talking to my daughter, but today my daughter looked at me a few more times, and I also saw her eating with the hairpin left by her mother. She was very cute, and I almost couldn't help rushing over."
Simultaneously
On Cui Yu'er's side, after thinking for a long time with a pen, she wrote "Qing Nu Sister Kissing" but it was crossed out immediately after writing.
After thinking for a while, I wrote down, "Sister, please, if you don't recognize your uncle, then recognize me. I dream of having a sister. Please, call me sister, and I will do anything you ask me to do. I can even tell you what means your uncle plans to use to get you home."
This night.
The Eighth Prince was assassinated and slightly injured. The Crown Prince Xia Zhixu was assassinated and seriously injured and fell into a coma.
This night.
Someone attempted to assassinate the empress dowager, but was killed on the spot by Song Diao Si.
……
When Su Changan woke up at noon, he heard that the Queen Mother and the Eighth Prince had been assassinated, and he was a little confused.
Because Yan Ruyu told him that all the masters in the Eighth Prince's mansion were killed or injured, and the assassin escaped with serious injuries, but according to conservative estimates, the assassins were at least one ninth-rank master and one eighth-rank master.
On the other hand, there were two ninth-rank masters who entered the palace to assassinate the Queen Mother, and they were all killed by Song Diao Si.
After hearing this, Su Changan thought that the assassin was really generous!
Eighth-rank masters are rare to begin with, and ninth-rank masters are even rarer.
But overnight, three ninth-grade masters and one eighth-grade master appeared.
And according to Yan Ruyu, the two ninth-rank masters who assassinated the empress dowager were both well-known masters in the martial arts world. Although they had publicly retired from the martial arts world, it was a bit strange that they suddenly appeared.
But who exactly did this?
Still checking.
Since Song Diao Si left no one alive, the two men did not have any substantial information to provide.
So Xia Fengxiang ordered the whole city to track down the assassin who had failed in his attempt to assassinate the Eighth Prince and escaped.
…………
Ps: I will try to get back to the previous noon and afternoon updates! Go for it!
Ps: Happy Chinese Valentine's Day everyone, although I'm sure you don't have a partner
Chapter 137: Empress: You are a talented woman! Not a talented man!
Su Wan'er got up early as usual and found that Su Linhan had already gotten up and left. But Su Wan'er didn't think anything was wrong.
I got out of bed and put on my clothes. The maids around me had already brought me toiletries. After I was done,
Su Wan'er first practiced in the yard for a while with the sword given to her by her master, and then ran to copy the calligraphy.
After finishing copying, he imitated Su Changan, put his hands on his hips, looked at the copybook and made a very satisfied "hum" sound.
Su Wan'er scratched her head a little embarrassedly, always feeling that it was cool to imitate her older sister.
But it seems that I can never learn the essence of my elder sister.
But Su Wan'er didn't care about anything. When she finished these two things, it was still early morning outside.
There was no way, Su Wan'er got up too early.
As per her daily habit, Su Wan'er went to her grandfather, uncle, third uncle, and Su Linhan's yard to pay her respects in turn.
Without paying any attention to Su Zhaoxin who was still lying in bed, he hung the sword that Yuan Ruxi had given him horizontally around his waist, took some of the small change he had saved and left the Su Mansion.
Before leaving, Su Wan'er hesitated for a moment whether to take the jade pendant given by her "sister-in-law" last night.
But after thinking about it for a long time, she decided not to take it. It would be bad if she lost it.
So carefully hide inside the pillow.
After going out, Su Wan'er ran all the way to the study.
Su Wenqing and the others were not worried about Su Wan'er going out alone, after all, they had sent people to follow and protect her.
And compared to Su Zhaoxin, they are completely confident in Su Wan'er.
"The youngest daughter of the Su family is very well-educated and cute. She greets everyone she meets. She is already a scholar even though she is so young."
These words were spread by the people living around the Su Mansion, so after Su Wan'er left the mansion, everyone she met was happy to see her.
Especially when he saw Su Wan'er bowing and greeting him, he immediately returned the greeting.
Even if you are not a scholar, you will still return the gift with a smile.
However, looking at Su Wan'er's back, some people who were fishing in the river felt a little regretful. Why? They just thought that the pair of pigtails were more festive in the past.
But on second thought, in this state, with the sword hanging behind her, she does look a bit like that Miss Chang'an. She is pretty and delicate anyway.
Su Wan'er was going to the study opened by her brother Su Liheng.
Just to buy today's journal.
Last night, she asked Xun Kuang whether today's journal would include her elder sister's poems and essays.
Xun Kuang said that he had asked someone to make a printing template before and it would be sent out today.
So Su Wan'er ran out early in the morning.
Along the way, Su Wan'er saw many members of the imperial guards, as well as many constables going in and out of some inns and pharmacies.
The little girl felt a little curious, so she stopped at the door of a drugstore and listened to what the people outside who were also watching the fun were saying.
Hearing this, the little girl was a little surprised.
Because someone actually dared to go and kill the Eighth Prince.
Moreover, the prince saved the Eighth Prince and was seriously injured himself.
The Eighth Prince was only slightly injured.
As for the assassins, they were all injured and fled. Now His Majesty has ordered a city-wide search, so the imperial guards are patrolling the streets and the detectives are searching through pharmacies and inns.
Su Wan'er also heard that all the people from the Dali Temple had been dispatched.
Su Wan'er was not a gossipy person. After understanding the whole process, she was too lazy to listen to it.
Big sister’s journal is important, if you go too late you won’t be able to buy it.
However, Su Wan'er didn't care what would happen to the Eighth Prince, because on the day her elder sister entered the mansion, the Eighth Prince had made things difficult for her.
So Su Wan'er doesn't like that person very much, and doesn't care what happens.
All the way to the study.
Su Wan'er frowned, with a look of sadness on her face.
Because she saw a lot of people in the study, obviously waiting to buy the publication. This made her more upset than hearing that the Eighth Prince had been assassinated.
