Be careful, there are fat girls

Chapter 138 Xu Xiang's Spring

Xu Menglin was stunned for a moment, then fell silent suddenly.

Su Qingxi sighed slightly: "In fact, as early as many years ago, I had already discovered Xu's feelings for Aunt Feng. But Aunt Feng has never expressed the slightest hint of this relationship, so it is not good for me to interfere. It's just that with the passing of this year, Xu Xiang and Aunt Feng are getting older, and it's better to tell the truth about some things earlier, so as to save him from being here one day, and it will be too late to regret."

Xu Menglin stayed for a while, then sighed and said: "I'm afraid, she doesn't have a shadow of me in her heart, and if she says it, she's just asking for shame."

Su Qingxi smiled and said: "If you don't talk about it as a man, is it possible that you still want Aunt Feng to talk to you in person?"

Xu Menglin hesitated for a while, then suddenly made up his mind: "Forget it, let go of my old face, it's nothing more than letting her ridicule me. If I don't say anything else, I'm afraid our two old bones will be buried in the ground."

Su Qingxi smiled lightly, just as Nanny Feng came in to pass on the meal, and saw that she was directing the palace staff to arrange the meal and was about to leave, Xu Xiang suddenly stepped forward and called her to stop: "Miaoyun, I have something to say Tell you."

Mother Feng was dumbfounded, what is this old man going crazy in front of His Majesty?Immediately, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, and he turned his head and left.

Seeing her turning around and leaving without saying a word, Xu Menglin froze in place, and didn't react until her figure left the imperial study room.

Su Qingxi shook her head and sighed.

This Prime Minister Xu Menglin, Xu Menglin, was intelligent, quick-witted, and eloquent in the court, so why did he become a goose when it comes to emotions?

Pushed him hard: "What are you in a daze for, catch up!"

As if waking up from a big dream, Xu Menglin opened the door and chased after him.

Su Qingxi covered her lips and laughed, pulled Ling Weiyang and said, "Let's have dinner first, don't wait for him, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I'm afraid Xu Xiang will not come back today."

Ling Weiyang shook his head and said with a smile: "What you, the empress, even did the work of a matchmaker. It's really hard work."

Su Qingxi smiled and said: "Aunt Feng grew up with me, just like my mother. Xu Xiang followed me for many years and worked hard. What's more, the relationship between these two people is delicate. If I don't contribute to the flames, how can I be a good emperor?" ?”

The two talked and laughed, and started eating on their own.

Sure enough, he went to bed late at night, and Xu Xiang never came back.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Menglin begged Su Qingxi for favor with a beaming face, begging to marry Feng Miaoyun, the female official next to Su Qingxi, as his wife, and Su Qingxi readily agreed.

After going down to court, she went to see Nanny Feng, but she saw Nanny Feng sitting in her room, holding a sweat towel that had already turned white in her hand, wondering what she was thinking in a daze.

Su Qingxi walked away from the left and right, walked into the room alone, and called softly: "Aunt Feng."

Mother Feng turned her head to see her, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty."

Su Qingxi once told her not to salute her or carry her honorific title when no one was around.

Su Qingxi walked up to her and hugged her in his arms: "Aunt Feng, today I have agreed to Xu Xiang's marriage with you in the court hall, and he will choose a day to propose marriage to you."

Mother Feng's complexion was slightly red, but she sighed, and the hand holding the sweat towel trembled slightly.

Su Qingxi whispered: "Aunt Feng, I just want you to be happy. You have worked hard for your mother and me for half your life, and it's time to enjoy the blessings. Xu Xiangxiang admired you for half your life, and you know him well, no matter what you have done before. What kind of emotional fetters, it's better to let go of it and spend the rest of your life well."

Mother Feng smiled slightly and said: "Aunt Feng's little Qingxi has grown up, and Aunt Feng has no way to refuse what she says. Anyway, it's been so many years, it's time to let go."

She stood up and put the sweat towel in her hand into the Suanni incense burner in the corner, within a short while, the sweat towel was reduced to ashes.

Slightly smiled: "Today I will bid farewell to my former love, and I should be relieved."

Su Qingxi hugged her tightly in her arms: "Aunt Feng, I only want you to be happy."

Mother Feng smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will."

In the court hall the next day, Xu Xiang handed in a memorial, imploring Enji to marry the female official Feng Miaoyun on the eighth day of November. Silver antiques add makeup to Fengnvshi.

Another day later, Hong Mingyuan, the Minister of Dali Temple, came to report to his son, and the case of Wen Sixing's No. [-] Scholar has been revealed, and the real murderer turned out to be No. [-] Yan Shao.

Because Yan Shao was jealous of Wen Sixing's talent, he colluded with the old bustard of Huanqin Tower, deliberately sent someone to call Gu Qingfeng away, and took Wen Sixing to a private room while Wen Sixing was drunk.He deliberately raped the prostitute Hua Ruyi and strangled her to death. He took off her clothes and put them next to Wen Sixing in an attempt to confuse the public and put the blame on Wen Sixing.

Without being tortured, the madam confessed everything when she was slightly frightened. Now the stolen goods have been seized, and she and Yan Shao are being imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple.

Su Qingxi sighed to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty at that time: "People's desires are so superficial. For the sake of a mere reputation, you can kill that innocent woman and blame your classmates and colleagues. It is fortunate that such a scum in clothes was discovered early, otherwise it will be a family member. Unfortunately for the country."

At the same time, it was decreed that Yan Shao should be dismissed from the position of No. [-] and become a commoner. He killed the prostitute Hua Ruyi and framed others, and he was sentenced to beheaded according to the law.

The old bustard of Huanqinlou was greedy for profit and ungrateful, colluded with Yan Shao, killed the prostitute Hua Ruyi, and gave false testimony in the case of Wen Sixing, was sentenced to a hundred sticks, and traveled three thousand miles.

The number one scholar, Wen Sixing, disguised herself as a man and deceived the emperor. It is because of his elder brother that he made such a bad move, so he was exempt from prosecution and became a commoner.

After the case was settled, Su Qingxi met the real Wen Sixing in private.Sure enough, this person is seven or eight points similar to his sister, but his knowledge is better than his sister's. He is frank and sincere, but not pedantic.

Su Qingxi immediately had a great impression of this young man, and immediately appointed him as editor of the Imperial Academy.Although the official position is not high, the future is bright.

Tanhua Gu Qingfeng had quick thinking, and ordered him to go to Dali Temple to be the Shaoqing, and became Hong Mingyuan's subordinate.

But Hong Mingyuan did a very good job this time, so Su Qingxi promoted him to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment as a compliment.

As for the fake "Wen Sixing", Zhen Wen Sixing once told her that before leaving, her younger sister wanted to say goodbye to her personally, but Su Qingxi flatly refused at that time.

"If she is really capable, I will see you next spring, why say goodbye?"

Wen Sixing went back and told her sister this. She smiled slightly at the time and said to Wen Sixing: "Next year, I will be the No.

In this small corner, a pair of brothers and sisters protect each other and make lofty ambitions, but they don't know that in the next 20 years, they will become a generation of virtuous ministers who will be famous in the history of the Jin Dynasty.

Three days later, notices on the imperial list were posted in every corner of the Jin Dynasty. The empress will open the women's spring quarters in March next year, and the men's autumn quarters in October. It is hoped that all men and women who are willing to serve the country will come to take the exam.

As soon as this news came out, the world was in an uproar!

Although Dajin respected women a lot more than other countries, and there were several female emperors, there was never an open imperial examination for women, let alone women being officials.

Now that the new empress has acted like this as soon as she takes office, it has to be said that the atmosphere of the Great Jin Dynasty is about to gradually change.

Sure enough, as soon as the imperial list was posted, although there were many skeptical people, there were also many idealistic women who really picked up their books again and prepared to take the exam in March next year.

Now it is the late autumn of November, and the weather is getting colder. The two little babies who have spent a hundred days have grown more and more round and round, pink and white, which is very cute.

Whenever Su Qingxi goes to court, the first thing to do is to go and see these two children.

Sister Su Jingying is very lively, she always likes to turn her head and look around, and when someone teases her, she will laugh like a silver bell.

The younger brother Chunyu Jingming is a little quieter and likes to hear all kinds of crisp sounds.

Su Qingxi asked people to prepare a lot of cloth pieces of various colors, and sewed many colorful dolls and purses for the two children to hold and play.

They also asked people to paint silver bells in various colors and hang them on the head of the bed. When the wind blows, the tinkling sounds are really pleasant.

Years passed in a blink of an eye, and the flow of people in Jincheng gradually increased, especially the female students who came to take the exam, which became a beautiful scenery in Jincheng.

Su Qingxi asked Su Zhaoxiu to arrange the defense of the city more strictly, so that female students must not be allowed to suffer personal injury because of taking the exam.

Because it is the first female Enke, there are no so-called female candidates, and everyone is treated equally.

It is not an easy task to stand out with the articles in hand.

When all the test papers were collected, they counted carefully. There were 350 test takers and one woman, and only 35 of them were good articles.

And among these 35 papers, on the paper that was unanimously selected by all the examiners as the best, suddenly there were three words written: Wen Qiongyu.

Su Qingxi suddenly burst out laughing, pointing to these three words and said to several examiners: "So that little girl is called Wen Qiongyu."

Among the examiners, they knew more or less what happened last year, and when they saw the Empress laughing out loud, they couldn't help laughing along with them.

Xu Menglin is the chief examiner this time, so he has met Wen Qiongyu, so he smiled and said: "The girl changed into a woman's dress, and the veteran didn't recognize it for a while, but it is really Zhong Lingxiuyu, a good young seedling."

Su Qingxi smiled and said: "Xu Xiang is the chief examiner this time. If she is on the list, she will naturally be your protégé. Xu Xiang should be satisfied with having such outstanding talents under his sect."

Xu Menglin twisted his beard and smiled.

Su Qingxi tapped the paper twice with her fingers, stood up and looked at the paper again.

It was still the familiar handwriting, and it seemed that the scene of the little girl talking in front of him in the prison last year appeared before his eyes.

Half a year has passed, I don't know how she will look like if she changed into women's clothes?
He laughed softly: "Xuanwen Qiongyu enters the palace, I want to see her in person."
