Liu Miaoqing and Song Qianhang both resisted the urge to look at Xie Xun, believing in Su Juan's words without a doubt, even though they knew she was deliberately testing them.
Liu Xuan really couldn't hear anything. He was drinking and flipping through the poetry collection at hand.
And Xie Xun is about to explode!
He held the wine glass tightly, a smile on his face, and kept looking at Song Qianhang, "How about going to listen to some music?"
I beat and scolded Su Juan again and again in my heart!
Be patient, be patient.
Song Qianhang wanted to refuse, but thinking of what he was planning recently, he agreed, "Okay, I haven't been there for a long time."
Su Juan stared at Xie Xun with suspicious eyes, [Could it be that I really made a mistake? ]
[If Xie Xun could hear it, would he still be so patient? ]
Xie Xun laughed in his heart.
[A man can't just say no, especially a hot-blooded man like Xie Xun...]
Liu Miaoqing just thought she was deaf and couldn't hear anything.
Song Qianhang smiled without saying anything, looking at Su Juan and talking to her from time to time. Ever since Su Juan moved out of Prince Jing's Mansion, he rarely saw her.
Now she has other things to do, and she also has to be busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. She heard that the Minister of Revenue values her very much.
If you can watch it a little longer now, just watch it a little longer.
There was a smile in his eyes, not concealing it at all, but it was so pure that it could not be ignored.
Liu Xuan noticed this and stood up to get the wine jug, then changed his position to block Song Qianhang's gaze from Su Juan. His movements were so smooth that no one could tell what he meant by them. People thought he was just taking the jug of new wine and sitting down.
Song Qianhang was not stupid. Even though his view was blocked, Liu Xuan's intention was almost clearly written on his face.
After a long while, it was getting dark and Song Qianhang was dragged away by Xie Xun. Jingyuan was quiet and secluded, and only Liu Miaoqing, Su Juan and Liu Xuan were left there.
Liu Miaoqing took the initiative to bring up the topic, "I heard that many officials in the court have been in trouble in the past two days, and two of them are the deputy Zhongzheng who were previously in charge of Zhongzheng evaluation. I think it is related to the previous case of the Minister of Taichang Temple."
Liu Xuan nodded, "I have heard of it as well."
Su Juan's eyes fell on Liu Xuan. "If these things hadn't happened, the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel would have been approved by His Majesty, and Young Master Liu should have been among them."
This matter was delayed, and it also delayed Liu Xuan.
Liu Miaoqing immediately looked at Liu Xuan. Yes, with Liu Xuan's ability, he would definitely be rated as a top grade this time, but now he has been affected and his appointment has been delayed.
Liu Xuan's mood was as calm as ever. "If there is an appointment, I won't run away if I wait a few more days."
"Since there are people who have committed corruption and accepted bribes, we should investigate them and give justice to the scholars of the world."
He lowered his eyes and smiled.
Liu Miaoqing showed her temper for once and cursed, "These corrupt officials deserve to die."
Su Juan looked at Liu Xuan with even more respect. [The appointment was about to be interrupted, and it was unknown how long it would take. Many scholars who were waiting for the appointment were in a state of panic. Some of them felt guilty because they had done favors for money, and some of them were worried about changes because they lacked their own abilities.]
[As calm as Liu Xuan is, he must be a true gentleman who is honest enough in his actions and is not afraid of changes... Just with this mentality, if he really enters the court in the future, he will definitely do something. 】
This was the second time Liu Miaoqing heard Su Juan praise Liu Xuan like this. She was full of admiration, which showed her appreciation for Liu Xuan.
But this appreciation is too pure. It is an appreciation of talent and does not seem like any love between men and women at all.
She pursed her lips and smiled. Ajuan was indeed different from other noble ladies in the capital.
Xie Xun was born beautiful, Song Qianhang was born in Prince Jing's Mansion but he sided with her in everything, and Liu Xuan was an outstanding person. Su Juan had known them for quite some time, but her mind was still stable as usual and she was not moved at all.
Su Juan looked at Liu Xuan, left and right, wanting to hold Liu Xuan in her hands and examine him carefully. She thought, "If such a true gentleman could really hear my true feelings, there is no way he would hide it from others..."
Liu Miaoqing thought to herself: My silly Ajuan, because he really can’t hear.
...
The Ministry of Justice was investigating the case of corruption and bribery involving Zhongzheng Pingding. The emperor naturally believed that Wu Yuanhou could not have been involved. In addition, he was already old, so he intended to ask the people from the Ministry of Justice not to bother him.
But the old man took the initiative to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice's investigation, and his grandson Bai Ziling was by his side.
The property of many officials involved in the incident was confiscated, and Su Juan was often sent by the Minister of Revenue to the Ministry of Justice to help. The more she came into contact with the grandfather and grandson, the more they talked to each other.
That day, Su Juan met Wu Yuanhou again. Bai Ziling was standing next to her. They chatted for a while. Seeing that there were no people around, Wu Yuanhou smiled kindly and asked Su Juan, "Miss Su, I heard that you got divorced a while ago. I wonder what the reason was?"
Bai Ziling, who was standing by, immediately shouted, "Grandpa, Sister Su is a girl, how can you ask such a question?"
Wouldn’t this make things difficult for Sister Su?
"It's okay, the Marquis is just concerned about the younger generation." Su Juan smiled. She didn't expect that this old man was so gossipy.
"They had never met before marriage, they didn't know each other, they knew very little about each other, they got tired of each other, they became a couple of resentment, and naturally divorced."
Wu Yuanhou nodded and stroked his beard. "Although it is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, marriage still depends on the will of both parties. Since they are not suitable, divorce is naturally the best. You are right."
Su Juan didn't expect that the old marquis had quite a lot of insights into marriage. He wasn't at all like those old men who talked about women's chastity and other things. "What the marquis said is right."
Bai Ziling also interjected at the right time, "Sister Su is so kind, she will definitely have another good match in the future."
His eyes were sincere, and he sincerely hoped that Su Juan could find a good man. Prince Jing was so ignorant and blind.
Su Juan raised the corner of her mouth, "Thank you, young marquis."
[This young marquis is quite straightforward and cute. ]
Wu Yuanhou's heart was slightly moved. At his age, he didn't know when he would die, so he wanted to find a good match for his grandson as soon as possible. He didn't care about family background, as long as the person had good character and his grandson liked her.
When he saw Su Juan in front of him, he felt that she was a good match, so he asked tentatively, "I wonder if Miss Su is still ready to discuss marriage?"
Su Juan was slightly stunned, [To be honest, I really don’t have one.]
But she couldn't say that to the old man now. After all, in Dajin, a girl would be gossiped if she didn't arrange a marriage.
She thought for a moment and said slowly, "Not yet. I'm thinking that when fate comes, it will come naturally if I meet someone I like."
Bai Ziling asked curiously, "What kind of man does Sister Su like?"
Wu Yuanhou on the side smiled and narrowed his eyes. It seemed that his grandson still had some thoughts about this Miss Su.
Su Juan blinked, and at that moment, the Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice happened to come back from outside after doing some work and hurried over here.
She raised her eyebrows, "It would be great if someone like Lord Yu was like this."
[The butt is nice and feels good. 】
Bai Ziling: “?”
Wu Yuanhou: “!”
Yu Zhong, the Dali Temple Minister, felt his butt tighten before he even got close, and his face turned red again. This Miss Su was really... too reckless!
