Overworked employee Su Ying died from continuous overtime and transmigrated to the second year of Zhenguan in the Great Tang dynasty. She became Su Ying, the eldest daughter of Su Buchang, the Chan...
Chapter 468 This Su Family Girl is Amazing
Entering Chang'an City, the streets were bustling with people, and many people stopped to look.
One reason was that the convoy was so spectacular, and the other was that the person leading it was a girl wearing a light green official robe, who looked to be no more than the age of coming of age.
"Oh, why is there a female foreign official here?" The onlookers whispered.
It is normal to have female officials in the palace. After all, there are concubines, and many women's affairs must be taken care of by women.
Women were mostly in charge of sewing, weaving, dyeing, making clothes and accessories. They were all selected from palace maids and rarely left the palace.
Judging from the appearance of this female official, she doesn't look like a female official in the palace. At her age, she is only qualified to be a palace maid. It is impossible for her to sit in the position of manager. She should be an official from outside the palace.
However, among the men who served as external officials, apart from family connections, hereditary succession, and military merit, the only options left were imperial examinations, and very few were recommended.
She is still a girl of marriageable age. What merits can she have to be promoted to the seventh rank official?
When they saw Su Bucheng, the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture, and Su Laoer and Su Laosan beside him, everyone suddenly realized.
Isn't this the daughter of the Su family? The first female official in the Tang Dynasty!
Once you enter Chang'an, you can't ride a horse and can only walk slowly holding the reins.
Su Ying really wanted to admire the magnificent Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty that existed thousands of years ago, but there were too many people surrounding her.
In public, with a bunch of children, a lot of luggage and belongings, all he wanted to do was get home as soon as possible.
There are a lot of things to deal with, such as preparing holiday gifts for the children who are boarding in various houses. It has been a year, so I'd like to give them some Lingnan specialties to show my appreciation.
Although they are not my own children, I came from Lingnan, which does not mean that those children are living under other people's roofs and lack confidence.
In addition, you have to sign in at the Ministry of Personnel. Even if you are leaving office, you have to submit your resignation and go through the procedures and processes.
Official robes, official seals and other items must be returned, including official documents used in performing official duties.
You can't just leave whenever you want. Even if you resign, the position will be handed over to an assistant officer.
With Su Bucheng's face around, the onlookers spontaneously made way for him, and many people followed the convoy and went to Su's mansion.
"I'll go back and tidy up later. The emperor might summon me!" Su Bucheng whispered.
I'm afraid that this situation has already reached the palace. Given the emperor's love for talent, he must have summoned me for an audience.
"Me?" Su Ying's eyes widened. "I'm only a seventh-rank official. Am I qualified to see His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty can meet whoever he wants to meet. It has nothing to do with rank, but reputation and influence." Su Bucheng was amused by his eldest daughter's exaggerated expression.
"Am I so famous?" Su Ying felt proud.
A small white-collar worker in modern society feels quite accomplished when he becomes a seventh-rank official under this emperor who is unparalleled in history.
"You're so funny!" Su Bucheng was amused and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
Feeling a burning gaze, Su Ying looked in the direction of the sight.
A young man was staring at her with deep affection and earnestness, his gaze so hot that it could burn people.
Su Ying was stunned for a moment, and the memories of the original owner that were buried deep in her mind emerged. The original owner's former fiancé - Lu Chengye, the second son of Minister Lu.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Lu Chengye is still that handsome young man, but he has lost his youthfulness and is no longer playful and frivolous. He has become more calm and mature.
Lu Chengye stammered and ultimately failed to shout out. He tried his best to restrain himself, not wanting to bring any unnecessary disaster to Su Ying.
Su Ying turned her gaze away indifferently and walked forward as if nothing had happened, but she could feel that gaze following her back.
Su Bucheng also saw it, but said nothing. From the day the engagement was broken off, the two became strangers.
This boy is sensible and doesn't show his affection in public.
If he dares, I don't mind being the bad guy and beating him up.
Lu Hezhou tried to pull him down several times, and no matter how dull and stupid he was, he could sense the trend.
The two families have a lot of grudges against each other. If this kid dares to act rashly, he will be the scapegoat.
Suddenly, the way forward was blocked and passers-by made way. In the middle of the road stood a eunuch holding a whisk.
"Lord Xu!" Su Bucheng saluted.
Su Ying also bowed, "Master Xu!"
"Master Su, Little Master Su!" Xu Zhi returned the greeting with a smile, "I have been ordered to bring Little Master Su to the palace to meet the emperor!"
Su Ying looked at her father in surprise. He hadn't gone back to tidy up yet, so why was he going there with such a disheveled appearance?
Su Bucheng nodded, and Su Ying replied.
"As you command! But Lord Xu, I am exhausted from traveling so far. Would this be disrespectful in front of the palace?"
"Haha, Master Su, you're joking. Master Su has traveled all the way, day and night, working hard for the people of Lingnan. How could he be so impolite in front of the palace?"
Xu Zhi said modestly.
At first glance, I saw that Master Su was a good match.
She has a slim figure, clear eyes, dark skin and is a beautiful lady.
His every move and gesture is as straightforward and free as a man's, without any squeamishness or affectation.
It makes people feel close.
"In that case, please lead the way, Lord Xu!" Su Ying bowed.
"You're welcome!" Xu Zhi said politely.
"Are you going to see the emperor now? Oh my God, Lord Su is so favored by the emperor!" passers-by exclaimed.
The little girl was very capable. She was exiled to Lingnan, where she caused quite a stir and was promoted to a female official of the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as I returned to the capital, I was summoned by the emperor. What an honor, what a favor!
"Hey, Brother Lu, this girl from the Su family is amazing! After not seeing her for a few years, she has shed her boudoir-like arrogance and has made a name for herself.
Although dark, thin and gaunt, I'm still pretty good-looking! Now I'm barely worthy of you.
Since you're still obsessed with her, why not take her home as your equal wife? I think your mother will be able to tolerate her." A classmate encouraged him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Master Su allow you to defile him like this?" Lu Chengye said angrily.
"Master Xiao Su has a divine appearance and unrivaled talent. How could we be so high-minded as to reach him?
Brother Li, be careful with your words. Lord Su is an official of the imperial court. I will punish you for slandering him."
After saying this, he turned away.
When the Lu family broke off the engagement in public, many people watched, and the incident became a laughing stock among the noble ladies in Beijing.
Su Ying's high-profile return today has caused a lot of buzz throughout Chang'an City.
The minister's wife Wang Zhaoyun and daughter-in-law Wang Zhihua in the back house both received the news.
"Go down!" Wang Chaoyun, who was counting the accounts, felt annoyed when he heard the crackling sound of the abacus.
This little bitch is back! Why didn't she die on the road?
He sat there with his forehead in his hand, rubbing his temples. The moment this little bitch came back, Chengye's heart was in turmoil again.
The young couple, who already treat each other with coldness, are likely to be in chaos again.
"What, that Miss Su has returned to Beijing?" Wang Zhihua screamed, almost tearing the handkerchief she was twisting, with a look of resentment on her face.
"Why did she come back? She caused my father's family to be exiled to Danzhou, and yet she trampled on the Wang family and boasted all the way back to Chang'an! Why?"
Her parents were exiled, and her husband was distant and polite to her, and she could not feel warm no matter what she did.
Just two years after their marriage, Wang Zhihua felt like she had aged ten years! She felt powerless and worn out.
"Wa wah wah..." A few months old baby was awakened and started crying loudly in fear.
"How do you take care of the young master? Get out!" Wang Zhihua was full of anger and scolded the wet nurse.
The wet nurse was so frightened that she quickly picked up the baby and went out.
