Chapter 1238 The Queen's Elegant Turn

Even if they didn’t say that their families were arrested as well!

However, the fact that they arrested people from every household, especially from the mansions of officials, naturally made the people dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

The capital city is already bustling, and this early in the morning it's even more bustling than usual.

So after Su Changan left the palace today and had breakfast, he heard many people talking about these things.

Wu Daming held a large bun in his hand and watched the chatter on the table over there. He then turned to look at his master beside him and said, "Master, there was a big commotion in the mansion yesterday. They said Grandpa Su didn't sleep all night. Second Uncle Su didn't even come back before I left."

Su Changan put the coriander leaves into Wu Daming's bowl and said, "You haven't slept either?"

Wu Daming looked at the coriander in the bowl, curled his lips, and looked at Su Changan, "I'm going to sleep, maybe I can't not eat coriander."

But see Su Changan's eyes.

He immediately drank it down with a bitter face.

Coriander, also known as cilantro, has been added to any soup by Su Changan since he knew that his child was a picky eater.

Seeing Wu Daming drink, Su Changan continued: "These are all matters of the big shots. They have nothing to do with us. Don't worry about it."

Wu Daming said "Oh" but curled his lips. He really couldn't get used to the taste of coriander. But he looked at his master and said, "Aren't you also a big shot?"

Su Changan rubbed Wu Daming's head and said, "Master is not a big shot. She is just a little queen."

Wu Daming looked at Su Changan and didn't understand what this meant. You are the queen, yet you are still a small figure!

Bang!

But it’s also this time.

At the mutton bun stall where they were eating, one person slammed the table, then stepped on a stool and said, "Guess what, everyone!"

As he spoke, the man looked mysterious: "They are all dead! Oh, those corpses were carried out from Chengtian Gate and sent to their respective mansions."

"Killed in the palace?"

"Of course not!"

"What a serious crime! He was killed right in the palace. Brother Lin, you are well-informed. Tell us."

"I'm telling you, I can't say how serious this crime is, and I can't say it carelessly. Be careful with your heads, but I'm going to tell you something that's directly related to this matter."

At this point, the Ear-reporting God called Brother Lin looked at the scholar at the stall over there: "And it is directly related to them."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the scholars.

Some of the scholars were puzzled: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Brother Lin jumped off the bench and said, "Are you all here to take the special examination?"

Several scholars nodded.

Brother Lin immediately gave them a thumbs-up. "Good luck! This time, because of these damn corrupt officials, I heard that they're going to grant special honors again! But it won't be as many as last year, after all, this is a special honor."

Whoosh!

Several scholars stood up and looked at Brother Lin excitedly, "Brother, are you serious?"

Brother Lin patted his chest and said, "I heard the news, I guarantee it's true!"

The scholar, whose clothes looked more ornate, immediately pulled a small ingot of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the young man, saying, "If it's fake, I can find you!"

Brother Lin took the silver and immediately became delighted: "Don't worry, sir, this is absolutely true. This is the news from the Imperial College."

After looking at each other, several scholars hurried away.

"Your Majesty, this news was just delivered to the Imperial College this morning. Is it appropriate to leak it out now?" Yan Ruyu frowned and asked in a low voice after looking at the scholars.

Su Changan nodded: "It should be the news released by our Lord Jijiu, don't pay attention to it."

After Xia Fengxiang woke up in the morning, he wrote a handwritten note and sent it to Mu Xu of the Imperial College.

Naturally, this time, thirty more people will be selected for the special examination.

And he also explained it to Su Changan.

It's to appease people's hearts.

After all, none of the officials who came to kneel outside last night can escape. With so many officials being moved, people's hearts are most likely to be unstable, especially the students.

No matter how much you say, it is better to give more.

So, Xia Fengxiang waved his hand and granted thirty honors.

It just so happens that Mobei, Liaozhou and the Western Regions all need officials.

Mu Xu obviously knew what His Majesty meant, so he released him specifically.

Otherwise, this news would not appear in the market so easily.

after all

The so-called rumors heard by ordinary people in the market town were all permitted.

Su Changan saw that Wu Daming had almost finished eating, and looked at Maomao: "Where's Kuyue? She ran away just now."

Maomao shook his head and said, "He just came back and said there was something fun to do. He asked me for some money and then left again."

Su Changan raised his eyes and was about to look for her when he saw Ku Yue running towards him.

As soon as she came over, Ku Yue immediately grabbed Su Changan's arm and said, "Let's go over there. If you participate in writing poetry, you can get a roasted whole lamb that big. It's so beautiful! And there's also a crab that big, a fish that big, and even bear paws! I've never seen anything like that! They're all good things. I'm so greedy."

Su Changan looked at Ku Yue and thought she was useless, but just as he was about to speak, he looked down and saw that Wu Daming's eyes were so big.

Su Changan looked at Kuyue: "Have you forgotten why we came out here?"

Ku Yue immediately said, "Just go find those Rao Jiang guys. They can't get away, and even if we go to the Prince of Chu's mansion and tell them, how can we find them in a short time? And your Majesty, don't mention it before. You have some dirty stuff on you. You will encounter those kinds of things when you go out, especially when you participate in such a lively event. So hurry up and leave."

Su Changan curled his lips. What the hell is this? I have all the dirt on me! Grandma is not with me. She is admiring the moon on the roof of Hua'e Tower every day.

Su Changan looked at Ku Yue and said, "A gentleman should not talk about strange things! Stop talking about these things. There is no dirty stuff in the world! And let's get down to business first."

Kuyue felt wronged. In the past, Su Changan would help her as long as she said something. Thinking of this, Kuyue looked down at Wu Daming and said, "Look at your apprentice, his saliva is so bad."

Su Changan looked at Wu Daming and found that Wu Daming was making the same gestures with his hands as Ku Yue had just made.

But when he noticed Su Changan looking at him, he immediately withdrew his hand and said, swallowing his saliva, "A long time ago, a bear in the mountains suddenly went crazy and hurt people. My grandfather killed it, and my mother made bear paws. They were delicious! After eating them, I felt that my life was not lived in vain! But if the crabs are this big, they might have been brought by Westerners. I ate them once, and I felt like I had lived enough for several lifetimes."

Su Changan gently hit Wu Daming on the forehead: "I don't even dare to talk about my life, and you open your mouth and talk about several lives."

Wu Daming covered his forehead and swallowed his saliva.

Su Changan had no choice but to pick up Wu Daming and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Hearing this, Wu Daming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and laughed.

Seeing this, Ku Yue blinked and looked at Su Changan's back, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Not leaving?" Maomao looked at Kuyue.

Kuyue said: "He has changed."

"Huh?" Maomao asked in confusion.

Ku Yue looked at Su Changan's back and said, "The Queen has changed. She loves me less and less now."

The cat rolled its eyes and didn't want to talk.

But after taking two steps, he returned to Kuyue and said, "Yes, I just don't favor you anymore. You can see it all."

Ku Yue’s eyes widened and she became anxious!

Immediately looking at Su Changan's back, he said, "If you don't pamper me anymore, then there will be problems with your long-term meal ticket. The good days will only last a few days."

Without saying anything else, Ku Yue ran to Su Changan happily and smiled at him.

Su Changan looked at Ku Yue's smile, which was a bit creepy. He then looked at Maomao who was smiling secretly, and probably knew what had happened.

But he was too lazy to say anything more. Instead, he looked at the large group of people gathered there that he could see from afar. There were quite a lot of people.

"Make way! The first one is here! Make way!"

But just as they got there, Ku Yue immediately pulled Ru Yu over with her and tried to make a way through the crowd for Su Chang'an.

Ruyu was a little embarrassed, but looking at Kuyue, she had to lower her head and do as she was told, while whispering "Make way, make way."

Su Changan didn't feel anything special about wearing a veil.

If you don’t wear it, just leave!

And he doesn’t know Ku Yue, the embarrassing little lunatic.

Ku Yue said loudly, "All of this is ours! Everyone, please make way for me. I will definitely take first place in poetry, no questions asked!"

Wu Daming put his head on Su Changan's shoulder, holding his hair to cover his face. "You don't know me, you don't know me, you definitely don't know me!"

Maomao was walking beside Su Changan. She seemed indifferent to all this, or perhaps she was used to it.

Ku Yue continued, "Show off your poems and songs! Our wife is here, and all her possessions belong to us. Just wait and see! I'll convince you one by one! Boss! Come out and receive her!"

Ku Yue pushed the crowd while shouting, and finally looked at the boss who didn't move at all, raised her finger and pointed at him, asking him to come out.

This restaurant was newly opened and looked like a luxury restaurant. And just as Ku Yue said, Su Changan saw bear paws and mutton placed in the restaurant hall, and the crabs, at first glance, were indeed big enough to be seen straight out of the sea.

The shop owner looked at the fabric on Su Changan's body as he walked towards them, smiled and said immediately, "Welcome, welcome! As long as the poem is good enough, you can take everything we prepared today!"

As he spoke, the boss held out his hand: "Yes, it will cost twenty taels of silver per session. Madam, please pay first."

After hearing the latter part, Su Changan raised one foot to step forward, but it suddenly stopped in mid-air. He turned around and said gracefully, "Goodbye!"
