Lord Lan

Chapter 92 Xuanyuan Examination (5)
The two nuns who were talking dryly suddenly saw these guards with silent faces, their feet went limp in fright, they leaned on the chairs with their arms around them, and asked in panic, "Miss Si, what are you doing?"

"Mommy, I'm also doing it for the good of the Fourth Miss. Why is the Fourth Miss so irrelevant? What do you want to do with Mammy?"

"You two sisters, don't panic," Su Julan laughed softly, her voice slowly rippling in this side hall, just hearing her voice made people feel that she was at least a charming little beauty. "I just think that marriage is a major event, and there should be the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Now that there are 'words' from the nanny, naturally the 'father's order' is also indispensable. It is estimated that at this time, the father of the king should return to court. If you are already in the mansion, then I would like to ask the nanny to accompany me to the hall, and then tell my father about these "rare sons-in-law", wouldn't it be best for him to make the decision?"

"Miss Su, this..." The two nuns panicked immediately.

"Presumptuous, why don't you use a respectful name when you kneel down to the princess?" The two guards shouted at the same time, and the two nuns fell down on their knees, and hurriedly kowtowed for mercy: "Princess, it's the nuns who made a mistake. Are you worthy of the status of the princess? Ask the princess for forgiveness, and the mother will find a young master who is both talented and handsome, and has both civil and military skills."

Dare to come again?Su Julan smiled lightly and said: "It seems that the second sister of this seat gave a lot of rewards to the two mothers." Then she shook her hand, and the two guards immediately dragged them to the living room.

As soon as Su Wang came back from court, he heard that the two matchmakers brought some crooked men to the fourth girl to talk about marriage. He came in, scolded heavily in front of many servants, put him under house arrest for two days, and then left in a huff.

For dinner tonight, only Su Wang, Su Feiyu and Su Julan are left.Su Xiliang was punished to face the wall and think about her mistakes.

Both Su Wang and Su Feiyu looked worried, especially Su Feiyu, who just turned around and walked away for a moment today. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. He was so angry and annoyed that he couldn't help throwing his chopsticks on the table while eating , said: "Second sister is really confused!"

"Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep." Su Wang said in a deep voice, seeing Su Julan's calm expression, he reached out to pick up a piece of delicious meat and put it in her bowl, "Father has taught Xiliang a lesson, this time it is She's confused, and it won't happen again next time."

Su Julan smiled generously: "Julan doesn't take such trifles to heart."

King Su nodded with satisfaction.

The next day, Gongsun Jinbi secretly ran into the palace to look for her wearing a bucket hat, and then stood in front of her and Shao Le with his back propped up, laughing out of breath.

Those two nuns were thrown out of the mansion yesterday, and they couldn't help inquiring after being seen by many idlers outside the door. The servants of the mansion went out to buy food materials, etc., and chatted with people. It didn't take long. Su Julan's rumors about her marriage, and the identity of the man who talked about her marriage, spread throughout the entire Pirate City.

As entertainment after dinner, everyone commented on the various scandals of these different men, and even voted to argue which is the most suitable for this notorious fourth lady!

Shao Le sat beside Su Julan, staring at Gongsun Jinbi, who was laughing in a mess in the wind, angrily, "You laugh again? I will be rude to you if you laugh again! Ju Lan is so good, how can those people deserve to be Ju? Lan?"

"If you come here specially to make a joke, you can get out." Su Julan's tone was light, as if the "Fourth Miss of the Su Mansion" that Gongsun Jinbi said had nothing to do with her.

Gongsun Jinbi forced a smile and walked to Su Julan's side. He wanted to regard her as a buddy, and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder, but was gently pushed away by Su Julan's hand twisting the silk handkerchief.I couldn't help but trembled again in my chest, and burst out laughing.

Shao Le was fed up with his laughing, and rushed over to push him away, "You weakling still laughs!"

"...Huh?" Su Julan looked at the angry Shao Le with a little surprise, "Who did you learn this curse word from?"

Shao Le paused, and stared at Gongsun Jinbi angrily: "It's all you, there are so many curse words, why do you use such vulgar words?" He was also affected, and couldn't help but slip out of words.

Gongsun Jinbi poked Shao Le, who was dodging quickly, with his index finger, "Hey, hey, is it possible that this swearing has to be elegant and subtle? Vulgarity and conciseness are the essence of swearing!"

Shao Le glared at him angrily, didn't answer, and then sat back.But Gongsun Jinbi was still smiling forever, Su Julan impatiently stretched out two fingers to cover her ears, motioning for Shao Le to go with her.

Seeing that both of them were seated, Gongsun Jinbi hurriedly pulled them back with a twitching smile, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business, I'm here to tell you about internal news: Xuanyuan College suddenly changed the assessment rules today."

Su Julan and Shao Le returned to their seats.

Gongsun Jinbi turned over and sat on the tea table between the two of them, holding a stack of peanuts and said: "There are about 760 candidates this year, which is more than double the number of last year. It is because there are too many people, so The assessment rules have changed. Just like last year, the assessment is still divided into three categories, with a full score of [-]."

"Teacher Continental and the Four Schools must be brainwashing subjects! Twenty points! Be careful, if you don't know how to answer some knowledge questions, don't answer them randomly. I have come to a conclusion from many years of experience: don’t leave the questions that you don’t know, at least write a few sentences praising the peace and prosperity of our Aofeng country, the love between the government and the people, the deeds of you and me, and the history of this first exam paper They are all civil servants appointed by the monarch, and they will definitely be rewarded for this."

Su Julan was about to taste the Shanqian Longjing specially ordered by King Su, when he heard Gongsun Jinbi's words, he couldn't help frowning.

Shao Le couldn't help but said: "Is this okay?"

"Why not?" Gongsun Jinbi tossed the peanut kernels, opened his mouth to catch them, and chewed them, "The changed rules are in the basic class of the second subject and the actual combat in the third class! The basic class accounts for 200 points, except law studies , arithmetic, and mathematics, there is an extra paper that everyone must take. These four professions will fight against each other, this year it will be a one-pot game, all the professions will draw lots to determine their opponents, first form a group to fight, and then one by one, until finally [-] people are selected."

Su Julan said indifferently: "Education benefits each other, and we have always paid attention to the blooming of a hundred flowers. This rule is obviously biased. Xuanyuan College is also a famous school in the world, so how can it make such a decision? I am afraid that it is the proud monarch who forcibly interfered, right? I just don't know him. What is the intention of so blatantly promoting the grandmaster as the supreme and trampling on other professions?"

"What you said is exactly the same as I guessed!" Gongsun Jinbi replied, "There is a truth—the king's heart is unpredictable."

At night, Su Julan was leaning on the couch by the window sill of the room, with her chin tilted on her right hand, and although her lazy eyelids were half-closed, there was no trace of cloudiness in her eyes.She was very sober, just clasped her fingers and thought about the purpose of Xuanyuan Academy's sudden reform?
