Chapter 166: Court
Su Nuobai put the puppy on the ground, and just as he saw the puppy's nose move, it ran towards the backyard.
Nanny Wei looked puzzled: "This?"
"Let's go to the backyard and take a look!" Su Nuobai smiled and walked towards the back.
Xiao Jiang was very curious about the paper figures in the shop, so he didn't follow them, but started wandering around.
Manyu was trying to make a paper figure when she suddenly felt something moving at her feet.
He put down the bamboo stick in his hand, bent down and groped around his feet, and touched some furry things.
I was startled at first, but then I continued to touch it and found it was a puppy.
He was very surprised by this discovery and picked it up and placed it on his lap: "Whose puppy are you? How did you get here?"
The little black dog wagged its tail happily at him and licked his hand with its tongue: "Woof, woof."
Manyu didn't know what was wrong, but her voice suddenly choked up. "I have a puppy too. Its name is Huanzi. When I picked it up, it was about your age."
Nanny Wei turned to look at Su Nuobai: "Miss."
"Manyu, this puppy will be yours from now on." Su Nuobai suddenly spoke.
Manyu was startled: "Boss, when did you come? I'm sorry, I didn't notice you coming just now."
Su Nuobai didn't care and walked to his side: "This little dog is destined to be with you, it will follow you from now on."
"It..." Manyu's voice was choked.
Su Nuobai didn't say much. In fact, Huanzi didn't have to go to the animal path this time, but this silly dog was worried about Manyu and decided to come and see him again.
If she hadn't happened to see them, it wouldn't have been so quick for the man and the dog to meet each other.
She didn't plan to answer the question: "Why didn't I see Wei Ling?"
"She contacted the escort agency to send the winter supplies she collected to the southwest."
Nanny Wei said as she thought of something else: "Oh, by the way, an old lady named Gao came here before and said she didn't see you at the stall, so she sent the things to the store."
"Gao Xiangdi?" She was the only elderly person surnamed Gao that Su Nuobai knew.
"Yes, it's been a while since it was delivered. Wei Ling and the others didn't know when you would be back, so they accepted it. I forgot about it because I was so busy."
"I only saw the things she sent me when I bought something recently." Nanny Wei explained.
Su Nuobai: "What are they?"
"There are silver, cloth, ornaments and so on. There are quite a lot of things." Nanny Wei thought for a while.
Su Nuobai: "Leave the silver and cloth behind. Send the cloth to the village outside the city in her name to make clothes for the people there. Send the rest back."
"Okay, I'll arrange to send it back right away." Nanny Wei nodded and went to get busy.
The children in the shop now have things to do and only come back in the afternoon.
On the day of the grand court meeting.
Feng Zhi came back the night before, looking a little tired.
Su Nuobai changed into the official uniform of the Gui tribe. It was a black official uniform with red spider lilies embroidered on the cuffs, corners and collar of the robe.
Feng Zhi saw the jasmine flowers in her jewelry box that she had worn to the palace banquet before, and they were still the same as when she picked them.
"This jasmine flower doesn't seem to be appropriate for my official uniform today."
Su Nuobai looked at the peach tree in the yard and said, "Ziqi, give me one of your peach blossom branches."
If it were in the past, Ziqi would naturally be unwilling to do so, as giving it one would damage its cultivation.
But now it’s different. There is a spirit gathering array in this yard. Although there is not much spiritual energy, it is better than nothing.
Soon, a peach blossom in full bloom appeared in Su Nuobai's palm.
Su Nuobai cast a spell on the peach blossom branch, making it remain in its current state forever.
Feng Zhi took the peach branch and inserted it into her black hair: "Do you want me to take you there?"
"No need, you guys just have a good rest at home." Su Nuobai threw out his paper carriage.
The paper carriage appeared at the palace gate, frightening the officials who came to attend the court. They thought they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Until she saw Su Nuobai coming out of the carriage, and then the paper carriage shrank and flew into her palm.
Since she came to the court, she naturally didn't want to hide her incompetence.
The officials of the imperial court couldn't help but frown when they saw her wearing a black official robe with red spider lily pattern.
"Isn't this person Su Deyi's concubine's daughter?"
"I hadn't noticed until you told me that she really is his concubine's daughter."
"No, their whole family has been convicted. Why is his concubine's daughter here?"
Censor Tang looked at the people who were discussing this and said, "Su Deyi had already removed her name from the family tree. Now she has no connection to the Su family at all."
"Imperial Censor Tang, now that you mention it, it reminds me that many people laughed at her at the time and thought her life was going to be difficult."
Prince Shunchen, Zhan Zishi and others all remained silent and said nothing.
At this time, the palace gate opened and their discussion had to end, but everyone looked at her curiously.
Lu Heyu waved at her.
Su Nuobai walked up to him: "What's wrong?"
"When we enter the hall, just stand next to me." Lu Heyu was afraid that she couldn't find her place.
Su Nuobai nodded: "Okay."
All the officials came to court, filling the originally spacious hall.
Xi Jinyou sat on the dragon throne and waited for them to finish their ceremony. "All the officials are here today, so it's time to introduce the officials of the Gui Department to everyone."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Nuobai with a smile in his eyes: "Master Su, say hello to everyone!"
Su Nuobai walked out of the queue and stood in the middle. "Su Nuobai from the Gui tribe, greetings to all the gentlemen. I hope you won't need me in the future."
After hearing these words, Lu Heyu's eyes were filled with smiles, and he couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of his lips.
The other officials looked constipated. If anyone wants to use you, it would be a disaster.
"Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent of women serving as officials in our dynasty. This is against etiquette and law." Minister of Rites Hong Tao came out to object.
"I second the motion."
"I second the motion."
Then many officials stood up to oppose it.
Before Xi Jinyou could say anything, Su Nuobai spoke.
"I just finished saying that I hope the Lords won't need me, and you're so anxious to jump out."
She looked at Hong Tao: "Master Hong has always loved literature and calligraphy. He is an excellent calligrapher."
When Hongtao heard her praising himself, he couldn't help but puff out his chest with a look of pride on his face.
Su Nuo changed the subject: "A few days ago, the owner of Changlong Pawn Shop sent a few calligraphy and paintings to the mansion and asked Master Hong to help write the inscriptions."
"I gave you one hundred taels of silver for a painting, and you earned five hundred taels today. The owner of Liufang Study came to my house yesterday and asked Master Hong to write couplets for the New Year."
"How much money did you charge?"
She looked at Hongtao with a smile.
"You're talking nonsense. It's absolute nonsense." Hong Tao's face was full of anger, but he was already in a panic in his heart.
Su Nuobai was not annoyed: "It seems that a pair of couplets is fifty taels. I ordered a hundred and gave half of the deposit. I don't think you told your wife about this money!"
