Chapter 181 White Lotus Xue Ruoxue
Su Changhe now understands what Xiaoxiao meant by backlash. Can he say that he wanted to test whether the barrier is effective? Of course not.
So he stammered, "I kicked a stone by accident. Who knew it could turn and bounce directly on my head."
Su Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue: [Fortunately, my brother kicked the stone without any malice, otherwise I don't know if my head would be safe! ]
Su Changhe was scared in his heart. Curiosity really killed the cat. But now he was sure that no one could hurt Kang Luan.
But he still stood up for Kang Lun: "Brother Kang, Xue Chenguang is really bullying us too much, let's report to the police!"
Kang Lun shook his head: "The Spring Examination is coming soon, it's always bad to get involved in a lawsuit. Since my hand is fine, let's forget about it!"
Kang Lun didn't want to let the matter go, but the other party was the prince of Ruyang Palace, and he was staying in the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. They didn't want to cause trouble for Su Changhe's family.
Besides, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Since Xue Chenguang didn't want him to pass the exam, he had to fight for it and let him know that a noble man can come from a poor family.
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself: [Xue Chenguang is just a chess piece of Xue Ruoxue's animal. What's the point of looking for him? Let Xue Ruoxue jump around for a few more days, and then he will be killed in one pot. 】
Xiaoxiao said so, Su Changhe didn't say anything more. Brother Kang was right. The Spring Examination was approaching, and reporting to the authorities now would not do Kang Luan any good.
Xue Ruoxue was very satisfied when she heard the news that Kang Luan was injured. Xue Chenguang's feelings for this sister really did not disappoint her.
However, she didn't expect that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would want to do something with Kang Luan whose hand was broken.
She wanted Gu Huaizhi to take him in, alienate his relationship with the Su family, arouse his hatred for the powerful, and give him a chance to overthrow the powerful. In this way, Kang Luan would become a sharp sword in their hands. What on earth does the Su family want
to do? Kang Luan's hand is disabled, so he will definitely not have the chance to take the imperial examination. There is no need to curry favor with him!
Now, Kang Lun is in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so it's not easy to make a move.
Then let's support Xue Chenguang to become the number one scholar!
Xue Chenguang has good qualifications, but it will take some effort to become the number one scholar.
Kang Lun is deposed, and Zhao Liming of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion is also a fierce enemy. Fortunately, Wang Duozi is powerful. Zhao Liming's father, Zhao Hongye, is now a criminal, and he can't take the exam this time.
But in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, she has to add some code.
It is said that the examination papers are still locked in the Ministry of Rites. Zhao Antai did not participate in the question setting because Zhao Liming was going to take the Spring Examination to avoid suspicion.
Cai Lao, the chief priest of the Imperial College, also postponed because of his poor health, so the questions for this imperial examination were set by the old Tai Shi Tang and the Minister of Rites.
Xue Ruoxue went to the women's school on time as usual to help Su Lingxi.
Today was the day when Su Lingxi reported to the Ministry of Rites. Xue Ruoxue looked at Su Lingxi with envy: "Sister Ruoxue admires you very much. You look so heroic in your official uniform. You must stand out among those men. Ruoxue should also go to the Ministry of Rites to have a look!"
Su Lingxi regarded Xue Ruoxue as her sister. Besides, Xue Ruoxue was talented. If she was willing to work hard, she might be able to become a female official in the future.
So she said: "Since you want to go, come with me. However, while I am talking to the Minister, you can only walk around the Ministry of Rites by yourself."
"Thank you, Sister Lingxi!" Xue Ruoxue took Su Lingxi's arm and got on the carriage together.
Su Lingxi is now a sixth-rank official. Although she is no longer working in the Ministry of Rites, she is also a familiar customer of the Ministry of Rites. She greeted her colleagues in the Ministry of Rites calmly.
In front of others, everyone was naturally very polite to her. Behind her back, there were inevitably people gossiping about how it was immoral for a girl like her to show up in public.
Some people even talked about it behind her back.
Su Lingxi pretended not to hear it. These officials were the ones who failed the assessment last month. This assessment plan was drafted by her, so it was inevitable that others would have opinions.
However, Xue Ruoxue deliberately stopped and cursed with her hands on her hips: "What are you guys talking about in secret? What's wrong with my sister Su being a girl? Her grandfather was the Duke of Zhenguo, her father was the general of Zhenguo, her mother was a noble lady, and even her sister is a princess. What's wrong with her being a sixth-rank official? Besides, this official was conferred by the emperor himself. If you have the guts, go and argue with the emperor!"
Su Lingxi frowned when she heard this. On the surface, she was standing up for herself, but in fact, she was saying that she got this official position with the help of her family's protection. When she said that, those people became even more dissatisfied with her.
Sure enough, the officials who were still whispering just now now raised their voices and said angrily: "Master Su is really lucky. He has easily become a sixth-rank official. Who among us didn't study hard for ten years and passed the exam? It's really different fates."
"If you have the ability, you can also marry into a good family!" Xue Ruoxue continued to add fuel to the fire.
Seeing that Xue Ruoxue was getting more and more excessive, Su Lingxi interrupted her: "Enough, Ruoxue, you can't be rude to the adults."
Xue Ruoxue looked like a white lotus: "But sister Su, they are all scolding you for relying on family connections to get to the top!"
Su Lingxi sneered. She thought Xue Ruoxue was a good person, but she didn't expect her to be a white lotus!
She cried and shouted to accompany her. Did she come here specifically to ruin her plan?
"My lords, I am a newcomer to the capital and have never seen the world. I am sorry to make you laugh. You are right. You all studied hard and passed the exams. I am not like me. I became a sixth-rank official just because of my family connections. Your abilities should be better than mine.
I am a woman and I won the monthly assessment. Did you let me win because I won unfairly, or did you not take the Shangshu's instructions to heart and deliberately perfunctorily handle the matter?"
Su Lingxi pointed out the problems of those officials. So what if you relied on connections to get promoted? Aren't you all my opponents?
Those people were speechless. They had been gossiping behind her back for a long time, and Su Lingxi never paid any attention to them.
This made them feel that Su Lingxi was easy to bully, so they became even more unscrupulous. As soon as she opened her mouth today, she tore off their fig leaf. Several officials were ashamed and embarrassed, but they still forced themselves to say, "We are naturally no match for Master Su. It is said that men and women work together and work is not tiring. You have a natural advantage!"
Xue Ruoxue puffed up her cheeks and said, "You are so hateful. My sister Su is innocent. There is absolutely no way that there is anything wrong with the top!"
Those officials laughed. How could Su Lingxi, such a powerful person, bring a stupid burden today? They happily said,
"What did we say? Are you guilty of being a thief, so you take it for granted!"
