Modern Couples' Life in Women's Society

Chapter 294 The hidden danger of suffocation

The next day, ahem...early...waking up, Xiao Tong dragged his sore body to nest in the house for a whole day, threatening to bond with the baby. If he didn't have such great anger when he looked at Mo Li who was smiling all over his face, he would Make it more believable.

But it is true to accompany the baby, after all, she will have to enter the palace again in a few days, and once she enters, it will take another [-] days!

The state examination started on time from the first to the third day of July in the fifth year of Xiaoxing. The procedure was the same as that of the rural examination. The difference was that this state examination was more serious than the rural examination.

The results were exciting. Excluding some eliminations, most of the people were left in the state-level institutions to take up positions, and the other half went to Yandu to prepare for the final, most critical and most eye-catching palace examination.

Beginning in August, Yandu began to be overcrowded. In addition to people from all over Yandu, people from Qi and Yin also came, making it very lively.Xiao Tong expressed his pleasure. After several years of recuperation and good environmental policies, the country of Yan has developed steadily, and now it is full of vitality everywhere, showing the embryonic form of a prosperous age.

The development and prosperity of commerce largely reflected whether that era was prosperous or not. The commerce of Yan State gradually rose, and it drove Qi State and Yin State.Under the leadership of Fang Yun and the others, the commercial exchanges between the three countries became more and more frequent.

Xiao Tong's company is no longer the small company it used to be. In just a few years, it has grown from a company to a group to the current consortium, with far-reaching influence.Several big bowls, especially Fang Yun's name has already resounded throughout the Three Kingdoms.

Before the start of the palace examination, the queen even went on a tour in a micro-clothes, saying that she wanted to see how her people lived, and Xiao Tong was indispensable for the entourage.And after that day, Xiao Tong later thought countless times that she should try her best to stop that private visit on that day, because after that day, the empress became obsessed with this job, and she would go out for a walk if she had nothing to do.

From Yandu, then developed to various places, and finally, she even went abroad. Xiao Tong didn't even cry at that time. Apart from worrying about the queen's safety, after the queen's private visit, her workload and responsibilities increased infinitely , she cried without crying!

Of course, these are all things for later. Now, Xiao Tong has not realized that she is only presiding over the palace examination seriously.No one who can enter the palace examination is easy, they are all talents, and because of this, they are paid more attention to, and there are arrangements for the queen to hand-pick the champion, second place, and third place.

After the palace examination, all parties waited for the good news. This time, besides Xiao Tong and his party, the empress also joined the busy ranks, and the busyness finally ended on the tenth day of September.

It is most exciting to hand-pick the No. [-] scholar, and among the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua, except that the No. [-] is a daughter of an aristocratic family, the other two are from ordinary families.When the news spread, the entire Yandu, no, the entire Yan Kingdom was boiling, and the people clearly realized that their new life had truly begun.

In Xiao Tong's words, this time the imperial examination has epoch-making significance. It opened the era of the Xiao royal family's heyday of imperial power, and it was also the beginning of a prosperous age.

Amidst the joy of the whole country, Xiao Tong returned to the palace with a smile, and threw himself into the familiar warm embrace contentedly.

When the baby was still clinging to Xiao Tong, people from all over the country were in turmoil, and it was extremely lively, not only in the country of Yan, but also in the country of Yin and Qi.

"It's so exciting to watch again, I don't know why those spokespersons of the aristocratic families bothered the emperor's sister. Fortunately, I finally have a vacation, so I don't have to go to see those." Xiao Tong and Mo Li gathered in the study again, each dealing with the matter. Own business, indirect small talk.

"I want to come to the Holy One because I know you are most troubled by these things, so I gave you a vacation." Mo Li looked up at Xiao Tong, "But don't be too happy too early, the final handling of the matter will require your help."

"I'm ready for this. It's okay, just deal with it, as long as you don't deal with such a rigid old woman." She is really tired of those old antiques who are either arrogant, flattering, or old-fashioned.

"Stupid old woman? It's appropriate." Mo Li couldn't help smiling, and held Xiao Tong's hands, the weather was getting colder.

"I've been tortured by them, I don't know how much saliva was on my face, I really can't understand them." Xiao Tong smiled wryly when thinking of the treatment before, these women are also a special product of this era, she only hopes such people In the future, there will be less, and more people with enlightened thoughts will grow up, and stop being so pedantic and arrogant.

"They don't understand you either!" Mo Li shook her head, it was all mutual.

"That's true." Xiao Tong nodded, the generation gap is not an insurmountable generation gap.

"Mo Li, how do you think Qi and Yin will react?" It has been five years since the truce with Qi. According to the previous habits, Qi has slowed down. Do they dare to fight again like before?
The answer is no, they won't, but they must do something to be normal!

"Testing, the news of this meeting has already been sent back. It is time to think about countermeasures and how to test it. After all, these reform measures of Yan State are not the affairs of Yan State alone. It has far-reaching impact, and it has gradually been reflected Have you come out?" Mo Li simply pulled Xiao Tong up, and since he was talking, he said it well.

"That's true!" Xiao Tong nodded, "After all, for those who live at the bottom of the society, suddenly there is a place where they can live a new life without restricting their birth, and it is not a matter of Yan Kingdom." Xiao Tong got According to many reports, the number of fugitive slaves from the Yin State and the Qi State has increased, the humble and merchants have tried their best to come to the Yan State, and those with good citizenship are also ready to move.If it weren't for the iron-blooded suppression, the situation would have been even more serious.

People smuggling and so on emerge in endlessly, and the relevant staff are too busy.

"Yan State has forced Qi State and Yin State to a fork in the road where they can only choose one road. Their temptation will come soon, but you don't have to worry too much. We are ready. Even if the two countries join hands, they will not be afraid. Yes, not to mention that it is unlikely that they will join forces." Mo Li is very confident about her own country's military strength now, no matter how Qi and Yin grow, the current Yan, not only has a strong military force, but also has Qi and Yin. Imagine the strong backing of the people.

With such a backing, Mo Li was extremely confident.

"I really don't want war." Xiao Tong smiled wryly, "The real good days for the common people haven't come yet, how can they get involved in a war halfway through the beginning! I absolutely won't allow such a situation to happen!" The latter sentence , Xiao Tongshi clenched his fists and said, his tone was full of firmness!
"I don't want to either, but if you are forced to have no way out, what can you do? The Holy Majesty also thinks the same way." Mo Li slowly opened Xiao Tong's fist, but she couldn't relax her tense body.

Inside the house, the atmosphere froze for a moment!
"Did you expect this a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me?" After a while, Xiao Tong asked, dignified and stiff in fatigue.

"When you are busy planning and formulating these new policies, you have already expected them and have been preparing for them. In addition to the expansion of special forces in the past few years, many elite troops have also been established one after another. They are all prepared for these. I won't tell you. Is it because you are too busy, you are so busy, how can your body be able to bear these things, and if you know this, it is unknown whether you will be restrained, the Holy Majesty decided not to tell you after discussing with me." Mo Li With a sigh of relief, he hugged Xiao Tong slowly, and explained in detail, if it wasn't because Xiao Tong had to prepare himself, he hoped that she could rest well and not worry about these things, she was tired enough!

"You should have told me earlier." Xiao Tong listened for a long time before opening his mouth, broke away from Mo Li's embrace, and left the study alone.

Mo Li looked at Xiao Tong's departure helplessly and complicatedly. This was the first time she got angry after they got married for the second time. She lowered her hand dejectedly and didn't chase him out. Now Xiao Tong probably didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Xiao Tong knew that he shouldn't be angry, Mo Li was doing it for her own good, she saw a lot of distress in Mo Li's eyes because she was always busy, and knew what he meant, but she still felt uncomfortable.

She had vented her anger, but besides venting her anger on Mo Li, where else could she lose her temper and vent the depression in her heart.

Is it really necessary to face war again?

Xiao Tong didn't know what to do for a moment, he walked aimlessly, Qing Sheng followed closely behind, his face was full of worry but he didn't bother him.

While walking, he suddenly ran into Baobao and his group. Baobao was playing in the garden with Xiaoqingen and Xiaoyunhai, laughing and making noises, so unhappy, Xiao Tong stared blankly, feeling bitter, "Can't I give you a Is it a safe environment to grow up in?”

Looking at the baby who was running towards him smiling so blindly, Xiao Tong made up his mind, "We must find a way to avoid the war, we must!"

The baby is still very winking, or he is very sensitive to Xiao Tong's emotional perception, and he can sense Xiao Tong's unhappiness as soon as he gets close. After kissing Xiao Tong, he just hugs Xiao Tong quietly, without making noise, and is sensible Let the friends leave first.

Xiao Tong hugged the baby and did not let go, as if he was looking for a sense of security, but also as if he had found strength, he carried the baby back to the room, and sat quietly with the baby all afternoon. dare not speak.And Mo Li sat by the side all afternoon, looking at the mother and son.
