Chapter 1124 Queen: You will be even more amazing if you marry me!
The Imperial Academy, the highest institution of learning in Daxia, should have been bustling, but it became unusually quiet because of the special examination.
The candidates for the annual minor imperial examinations in Daxia, whether civil or military, were all Juren, while the major imperial examinations held every three years were the real imperial examinations.
The sudden special examination has boosted the morale of those who failed in last year’s winter examination or did not take part in it. They are all studying quietly in their dormitories, just to prepare for the special examination after the Dragon Boat Festival.
Especially this time the Enke is completely different from the past. Many things have been changed, and there is even an interview. And it is not a recommendation but an interview for everyone, and the test is on your moral character.
Therefore, there is more to prepare, but the students did not complain about the increased difficulty. Instead, they were all very excited.
It's not just because there are too many Enko and En names, but another reason is that the Lord Jijiu said that the emperor ordered the cancellation of this year's recommendation.
If there is no recommendation, it means that those who pass the imperial examination will most likely be directly appointed as officials in the court without having to wait, and there is no need for those who are recommended to serve as officials.
The opportunities that children from rich families have can be competed for by children from poor families, but the prerequisite is to pass the exam. Many students from poor families work harder.
The wind and smoke are clear, and the grass is lush.
The old scholar Mu Xu was walking alone in the academy, wearing a scholar's robe. It was unknown when the exam would be held. The old scholar looked even thinner. With his hands behind his back, he came to a dormitory area. Some students were walking back and forth outside the door with books, some were sitting at the door reading, and some were reading on the roof.
The sound of reading aloud is as loud as thunder.
The old scholar did not show up to disturb them, but smiled lightly and turned away.
But after walking a few steps, the old scholar coughed a few times, but he didn't care. He took the wine gourd in his hand, took a sip, said "relieved", and then turned and left.
As he is old, he is aware of some of his shortcomings, and he compares himself with the Grand Tutor Yang Shanchang, the Grand Master Su Wenqing and so on.
As a bodyguard, he cherishes his life very much.
These poor kids still need someone to support them, and his apprentice is not qualified, so he can't die.
Not to mention, the academy in Mobei also needs to be built.
Moreover, the Empress had discussed the issue of cannons and gunpowder with Mu Xu. The Empress said that we should not only focus on the classics, history, and literature, but also develop books, mathematics, and agronomy. Otherwise, how could we have cannons, muskets, and compound bows?
There are too many things to do and too many people blocking the way. I can't die.
But when he turned around, he saw Su Linhan running hurriedly with a book in her arms.
Su Linhan is an assistant professor at the Imperial College. All assistant doctors have dormitories here, just one classroom away from the students. But if you want to go to the gate of the Imperial College, this is one of the several ways.
Mu Xu looked at Su Linhan and saw that she was obviously planning to leave, so he didn't intend to stop her.
However, when Su Linhan turned around, she saw the Lord Chief Priest. She quickly stopped and walked towards where Mu Xu was.
Seeing that Su Linhan was holding a book in her arms, Mu Xu said when Su Linhan came over: "Save the customary etiquette. I'm sorry. Ask your mother to send me a jar of wine later."
Su Linhan smiled and then nodded: "Mom was also talking about giving it to you before."
Mu Xu smiled and looked at the books in Su Linhan's arms. The top one was [Yu Yi Wen Yan], and the second one was [Su Ji]. The former was a self-annotation of the words of the saints by a great scholar of the previous dynasty, ranging from life to governing the country.
When Mu Xu opened it, he saw many delicate small characters on it with annotations, such as "collected explanations" and "simple interpretations".
Mu Xu was so smart that he immediately said, "You didn't go home to live with Chiyu, but you are busy with this? Preparing for the students' interviews?"
Su Linhan nodded: "After all, I don't know what the interview will ask, so it's good to be more prepared. If I had read and understood these books before, it would be fine, but now I still have to read them carefully."
Mu Xu shook his head: "If they can explain it this way by themselves, do they still need you to teach them?"
Su Linhan said, "My elder sister once said that reading should be put to practical use. I like reading, but I don't know where to put those things to use. Now that I can teach others like this, it can be considered useful. And Master Jijiu doesn't know that when I was annotating, I read this book again and it was a different experience."
Mu Xu smiled and took a look at "Su Ji". The so-called "Su Ji" is actually the collection of Su Changan's poems and songs.
"Are you preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival?" Mu Xu asked.
Su Linhan said, "When you get tired of doing these, just open it and take a look. Also, some students wanted me to talk about some of my poems before, so I prepared some."
Mu Xu smiled with relief when he heard this, and then asked: "I have never asked you before, are you tired of teaching?"
As he spoke, he pointed to a stone bench on the side.
After Su Linhan put the book down, she helped Mu Xu sit down, and then said, "If it were in the past, I would say I'm not tired. But now, there's nothing to be tired of."
Mu Xu smiled and said, "Your grandfather told me that you sometimes didn't come back for days these days. It was not easy for him to see you. You looked much thinner, and he felt sorry for you."
Su Linhan smiled brightly: "Grandpa didn't tell me that. He said it's good to suffer a little. Just like when I first came to the Imperial College, I was very nervous and busy at the beginning. Grandpa said to learn more and see more. Don't complain because you have suffered. If you feel tired, go and see the people in the fields and the people in the East Market and West Market in the morning who are busy making a living."
Mu Xu frowned: "This old thing!"
But seeing that Su Linhan was smiling happily, Mu Xu continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"
Su Linhan smiled and said, "Later, my elder sister found out and took me to grandpa and told me that I was tired and wanted to rest instead of going to see someone who was more tired than me."
Mu Xu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, and then looked at Su Linhan: "Did the old man admit his mistake with a smile?"
Su Linhan nodded.
Mu Xu laughed and scolded: "You deserve it!"
But then she sighed, "You are worthy of being the Queen. Such a simple truth, it sounds much more comfortable. If you are tired, just take a rest. Why compete with others? Wake up and continue to work with enough energy and spirit."
Su Linhan smiled and nodded.
Mu Xu looked at Su Linhan and said, "But what are you doing? Go home and have a rest?"
Su Linhan said, "My family sent me a message asking me to come back. Shuyalou has announced the results, and they said they're going to hold a banquet to celebrate."
At this point, Su Linhan looked at Mu Xu in confusion: "You still don't know? The academy just sent a message saying they didn't find you, so you haven't seen it yet?"
Mu Xu looked at Su Linhan: "The results of the Shuya Building were announced? Just now?"
Su Linhan nodded and explained it briefly.
After hearing this, Mu Xu thought for a moment and immediately looked at Su Linhan: "Is there going to be a banquet at home?"
Su Linhan nodded: "Father sent someone to say that he wanted to set up a banquet."
Mu Xu stood up and said, "Let's go together."
Su Linhan looked at Mu Xu.
Mu Xu smiled and said, "Your home is the last place your grandfather will go back to. The old man will definitely visit all the other places, and he will definitely come here. Come on, come on, I'll go back with you."
…
In the huge capital city, the announcement of the results of the Shuyalou exam today overshadowed everything else. All news, including those before that, had ceased.
Everyone is talking about what happened in Shuya Tower today.
This is the case in all government offices.
This is what a wealthy family’s mansion is like.
This is even more true in the market town.
It was dusk when Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang and others left the hot pot restaurant. The sunset that dyed the sky red was always beautiful.
When they left the hot pot restaurant, according to Xia Fengxiang's instructions, they first sent Wu Daming back to the Su Mansion.
However, Wu Daming immediately shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary as he knew the way.
Although he was stubborn, Xia Fengxiang still arranged for someone to follow him in secret.
Before leaving, Da Mengzi felt a little embarrassed, especially when looking at Su Changan. After all, it seemed like he suddenly had a master, but it also seemed like he had always had him and only called him today.
Su Changan saw the girl's embarrassment and said with a smile, "You don't worship me."
Da Mengzi nodded immediately. If he didn't worship him, he would be bragging! Especially today, he heard so many people talking about his master. He was so proud.
Su Changan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Master will teach you how to become like me later."
Da Mengzi nodded quickly.
After Da Mengzi left, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang naturally returned to the palace.
Walking in the market, Xia Fengxiang covered his mouth with his hand and yawned.
Su Changan asked: "Hold you, you sleep in my arms?"
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, saying, "How shameless!"
But Xia Fengxiang asked, "Do you remember Wang Xun?"
Su Changan replied: "The scholar who has no foresight and wants to be a military commander."
Xia Fengxiang chuckled: "How can a grown man be so cunning!"
As he spoke, he gestured with the nail of his little finger.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and wanted to speak.
But Xia Fengxiang gave Su Changan a look and immediately stopped him from talking.
Xia Fengxiang continued, "That man's father is called Wang Haibin, and he is the deputy commander of the Liuzhou Black Cavalry under Wen Daoji. Brother Zhu Huang has requested this man many times, so I took note of it. However, this man has some connection with the Su family."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Origin?"
Xia Fengxiang said: "Wang Haibin and Su Ziyu know each other and have a good relationship. When Su Qingning's mother was looking for a husband for her daughter, she was very satisfied with Wang Xun, but you know Qingning's personality, so the matter was left unresolved."
Su Changan heard this and said, "I don't agree either. Although Qing Ning is not a decent person, she will never marry someone who doesn't know whether she is a man or a woman!"
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to say anything. He was just a little bit thoughtful. Really! Didn't he recognize you as a woman? Everyone in the world recognized you!
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "I absolutely don't agree."
Xia Fengxiang was too lazy to argue and asked, "What do you think of the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been to the Gongzhengsi singing and dancing places yet. I'll..."
When he said this, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang's smiling face and changed his words, "I'll ask Zhang Pingting and Xingyue to ask later."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, then said, "I do have an idea."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang did not say anything else, but stood there looking at Su Changan, and put the Ku Yue mask on his own face.
Su Changan was stunned. What was he doing?
But he saw Xia Fengxiang raise his hands and look at Su Changan.
Su Changan walked over reluctantly, bent down, and held his wife in his arms.
One is behind a fence and the other is wearing a mask.
Although many people on the street looked over, they couldn't see their faces and felt a little disappointed, but when they saw the couple, they all started laughing for no reason.
Even though Xia Fengxiang was wearing a mask, he still buried his head in Su Changan's arms, "Su Changan."
Su Changan lowered his head.
Xia Fengxiang said: "I'll make sure you get scared."
Su Changan lowered his head curiously.
But Xia Fengxiang continued: "Su Changan."
Su Changan: "Hmm?"
Xia Fengxiang said: "I'm hungry."
Su Changan was helpless. They didn't eat anything in the hotpot restaurant just now, but kept feeding me, Da Mengzi, and Ku Yue. But when I asked them, they just said they were not hungry.
You just came out and said you were hungry.
But Su Changan looked at the lady in his arms and said softly, "I will do it for you when I get home."
Xia Fengxiang: “Yeah.”
Then, Xia Fengxiang spoke again: "Su Changan."
Su Changan lowered his head.
Xia Fengxiang said: "It's really amazing."
Su Changan smiled and said, "You are even more amazing to marry someone as amazing as me."
Xia Fengxiang: “That’s it!”
