Lin Xunzhong drank tea slowly and listened to his daughter's eloquent talk about the old lady of the Su family. He was also amazed in his heart.
It is said that a country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change, but Mrs. Su's change was so drastic that it could be said to be abnormal.
He raised his eyes and looked at his daughter's admiring look, and became even more curious. Among the noble girls in the capital, the daughter of the Lin family was aloof and arrogant, and she had an unscrupulous reputation behind her back. Who would have ever thought that she would have such an attitude towards a woman from a rural place?
High rating.
Coming out of the Jingyuan, Lin Xunzhong strolled in the garden with his hands behind his back. The prince was surrounded by the Su family. Today, Su Shiming is one of the seven criminal leaders of the Dai Viet Kingdom. The Su family really just kept quiet and became a blockbuster.
After many years of ups and downs in the sea, Lin Xun has already made a rough assessment in the center, but in officialdom, it is the right thing to see through without telling the truth.
After seeing her father off, Lin Junyan turned around and came back. Yingge immediately whispered: "Miss, Mr. Su is out of the examination room today. Will he go to the pub to drink?"
"Huh?" Lin Junyan looked up at Yingge.
Yingge said quickly: "I don't mean anything else. It's just that Mr. Su is homesick and might go."
"Go and settle down." Lin Junyan sat in front of the dressing table, took off the hairpin ring and put it into the dresser. She was sure that Su Sanlang would not go to the tavern again, not to mention why he got drunk in the tavern last time. If someone wants to become an official
Without self-examination and self-discipline, Mrs. Su would not have cultivated such a person to get to where she is today step by step.
In the afternoon of the next day, Su Sanlang took the security guard back to the house. When he was at the door, Su Sanlang hesitated for a moment. When he looked up again, his whole body was much firmer.
Two women were sitting at the door basking in the sun.
Su Sanlang was stunned. Based on his understanding of Cui Liangxiu, the servants she brought in were all under strict control, and it was impossible for them to be so relaxed.
The two women also saw the person coming in, and stood up in panic to greet them, Fu Li: "Who is this man?"
"Who are you? This is my house." The security guard looked at the two women warily.
The two ladies were even more respectful: "A gentleman hired us to take care of this lady."
There was a sound of sobbing in the room. Su Sanlang asked his mother-in-law to open the door. When he saw Cui Liangxiu tied to a stool with disheveled hair, he was stunned for a moment. The smell in the room was unpleasant.
"What's going on?" Su Sanlang said in a deep voice.
The two women quickly knelt down and told them everything about the day.
"Hmm..." Cui Liangxiu twisted his body hard and stared at Su Sanlang.
Su Sanlang asked the two women to let Cui Liangxiu go. Cui Liangxiu did not dare to move, and his voice was hoarse: "Get out! You all get out!"
Su Sanlang, who originally wanted to comfort him with a few words, turned around and left. He went back to the study and sat down. He knew that his mother had sent Yan Gui over. The reason why Yan Gui didn't show up was probably to give Cui Liangxiu more opportunities to cause trouble.
Sanlang knew that his marriage was over, and there was no turning back for either Cui Liangxiu or himself.
Cui Liangxiu covered her cut skirt and stared at the two women fiercely. She didn't have time to argue with them, covered her body with her clothes and ran to wash up.
"Let's go, this is not a good thing." One of the women said.
The two mothers-in-law were really unambiguous and left without saying goodbye.
Cui Liangxiu washed it several times. After calming down, he began to think carefully and suddenly stood up: "I was wrong!"
After she had tidied up, she began to clean the room. This room made her tremble all over just looking at it. She wanted to go to the study to see Su Sanlang countless times, but she gritted her teeth and suppressed it.
That night, Su Sanlang still didn't get to see her. Cui Liangxiu had no longer expected it. It had been like this ever since she came to the capital, and Su Sanlang never wanted to get close to her.
After finally staying up until dawn, I carefully prepared breakfast, and went outside the study door and said softly: "Sanlang, it's time for breakfast."
After calling three times, there was no response, and the anger hit his forehead. He reached out to push the door, but it was pushed open. Where was the shadow of Su Sanlang? Even the security guard was not there!
"Su Sanlang! Just wait!" Cui Liangxiu said bitterly, his face turned livid with anger.
At the same time, Su Sanlang sat respectfully on the futon, holding the piece with two fingers, thinking hard about the chess game.
The old man opposite him was wearing a dark gray robe sprinkled with gold, with white jade hairpins in his hair, and a gentle face. He was none other than the then Prime Minister Meng Jiuling.
"Teacher, if the student returns to Qingniu County, when is the best day to leave?" Su Sanlang raised his head and asked after settling down.
Meng Jiuling picked up the tea cup and brought it to his mouth. He paused and said, "After the imperial examination, you have to praise the official for three days. Don't you want Yun Qing to take the opportunity to move around the capital?"
Yunqing is the name given to Su Sanlang by Meng Jiuling. Meng Jiuling would call him this when we get along with him on weekdays, which makes him seem close to him.
Su Sanlang shook his head: "My mentor, Jia Ci has been thinking about me for many days. He said that it may not be Yunqing's turn to praise the official. Even if Yunqing really praises the official, he doesn't want to become an official so quickly. It is better to take this opportunity to go back and study how to implement the New Deal.
Such things that benefit the country and the people must be implemented slowly."
These words made Meng Jiulin even more appreciative, and he smiled and said: "Let's not mention the matter of praising the official for now. If you can have such a calm temper, you will have no worries in the future. It's okay, I can go to Huizhou Mansion more often.
Look, your fellow disciples have already started making arrangements, it would be best to get along with each other."
With Meng Jiuling's explicit instructions and his own thoughts, Su Sanlang concentrated on playing chess and stayed here for dinner in the evening. It was already dark when he returned.
When passing by the tavern, I heard the voice of the young man soliciting customers and stopped. Thinking of my mother's words about not being drunk and greedy, I just felt ridiculous. Fortunately, I met a good person, so I didn't make a big mistake by accident.
, telling myself in my heart that I must be cautious.
After entering the house, before going to the study, Cui Liangxiu shouted resentfully: "Sanlang."
Su Sanlang looked back at Cui Liangxiu and said slowly: "The general examination is over. If you are lucky enough to win the Jinshi, you will have to wait for two months. When things here are settled, we will set off to go home."
"Ah?" Cui Liangxiu was dumbfounded!
What the hell is this? It’s okay to go home if you win the imperial examination. After all, you have to go to Beijing to take the exam, but why do you go back if you win the Jinshi? Shouldn’t you seek an official position?
Home! Home! What a useless thing! It seems that without that old godly woman, Su Sanlang will never be able to decide anything by himself even if he lives to be a hundred years old!
After being married for many years, who didn't know each other well? Su Sanlang only took one look at Cui Liangxiu's suddenly changed expression, and guessed about half of her thoughts. He was no longer willing to deal with her, and went back to the study to settle down.
Cui Liangxiu was also in no mood. She hated and feared going home the most!
Suddenly thinking of the people he had given to Su Sanlang, I felt a chill on my back. Where did Su Sanlang arrange for those people to go? But don't let the old godly woman know where the Su family's rules are.
After being caught with such a big deal, she would definitely take the opportunity to suppress herself to death.
Somewhat flustered and unable to sleep after tossing and turning, she simply got up and knelt down outside the study door: "Sanlang, I made a mistake for my wife. Sanlang opened the door."
The lights were turned on in the room, and Su Sanlang sat on the couch with his clothes on. After a long time, he said, "Please come in, Madam Three."
