Drunk House

Chapter 767 is here (first update)

 In the morning of the second day, Su Rong indeed mentioned that women should be allowed to participate in the Golden Autumn Scientific Examination, with the age limit being under forty-five.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the court was shocked. Several old ministers in the court objected, saying that the concubine's move was inappropriate. Now that the government has just stabilized, and Enke was launched again this year, it was already busy and urgent. It would be okay if a woman was added. For reference, that would be really messy.

Su Rong said calmly: "There will be no chaos. The examiner is Uncle Xie. Uncle Xie will control such a small matter."

 She blamed Xie Yuan for every word she said.

Several important ministers suddenly choked, and they couldn't refute Mr. Xie in front of the court. Will he control it well? But is this a matter of good control? This is something that sets a precedent. Even if there was a queen in the history of Southern Chu, it was only ten years after the queen ascended the throne that she only made a small incident against a woman. However, the princess has just returned to the court and has not yet When you ascend the throne, you have to take a scientific examination with men.

Without waiting for others to say anything, Su Rong said again: "If you have any talented young ladies in your family, please recommend them to me. If they can pass my examination, in view of your hard work and merit for the imperial court, I will exempt you from the imperial examination." After passing her scientific examination, she was directly awarded the title of seventh-grade female officer."

As soon as this statement came out, the courtiers were shocked again, and for a moment they forgot to refute it. They all thought about whether they had it at home.

Su Rong smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about the next thing!"

　　This matter was decided by her in such a light and effortless way.

　　After the morning court ended, everyone reacted, but it was too late. The situation was over. They all thought to themselves that the princess's power skills, which were both grace and power, were really masterful. They, who had been living all their lives, were no match for them.

  Old man, old man.

So, the matter of women's scientific examination was decided, and on the same day, the imperial list was posted to all states, counties and counties.

 In just three days, the government and the public have received unprecedented discussion.

Those who have daughters in the family are half happy and half sad. The happy thing is that in addition to marriage, daughters can also pass the imperial examination and enter the court and become a help to the family. Most of the girls are worried because they have not been carefully cultivated by the family. Even if they can marry a man We took the scientific examination together, and I was afraid that we would also lose our reputation and fail the examination.

Su Rong doesn't care about this. It's good to take a step forward.

 After Xie Yuan learned about it, he didn’t say anything. He gathered people to promote the matter.

 Another half month later, Cui Gong of the Cui family in Qinghe came to Nanchu with his people. It can be seen that he had already set off after writing a letter to Zhou Gu.

Cui Xingzhi got the news and hurriedly went to find Zhou Gu, "Cousin, my grandfather is here and has entered the city."

Zhou Gu was surprised, "So fast?"

"yes."

Zhou Gu immediately put down the work at hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take a leave of absence from you, sir, and we'll pick it up together."

Cui Xingzhi nodded.

So the two of them went to the Minister of Household Affairs to ask for leave, and rode to pick him up together.

Although the two of them got the news quickly, by the time they received the message, the Cui family's motorcade was already approaching the gate of Cui's mansion.

They got off their horses, one called "grandfather" and the other called "grandfather", and both looked at Cui Gong in surprise.

Mr. Cui stroked his beard, looked at the two of them, laughed, "Okay.", and asked, "Where is Xiao Yanjin?"

Cui Xingzhi replied, "He went out of the city with people from the Ministry of Works. I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back."

“Heh, you are so capable, but you are not in the Ministry of Rites, but you are in the Ministry of Works?” Cui Gong laughed.

Zhou Gu stretched out his hand to help Cui Gong, "Grandpa, are you tired on the road? Is the journey smooth? Are your health and bones okay?"

 “It’s all good.” Cui Gong nodded.

Zhou Gu also felt that Cui Gong looked good, and it seemed that he had not endured much hardship on the road, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned around and greeted the rest of the people, calling his uncle, aunt, cousin, and cousin. Cui Yanjin's father, Cui Yuanbin, hooked Zhou Gu's shoulder and said, "Oh, let me take a good look. Little Zhou Gu, you are so capable. You have become the wife of a queen. You will be the wife of a king in the future. You are so awesome. My uncle used to do it." I can see what you are capable of, but I didn’t expect you to be so capable.”

 Zhou Gu: “…”

He knew that his fourth uncle was careless, and his temper had not changed over the years. No wonder he raised his little cousin so hard that he almost sent him back.

Cui Yanjin’s mother Liu Yuying also looked at Zhou Gu strangely, and nodded along with her husband, “My nephew is going to be successful, so we will be relatives of the emperor in the future, right? Oh my, can we walk sideways in the capital city of Nanchu?”

"You two are still elders, don't be so out of tune." Cui Gong was happy and scolded.

Cui Yuanbin was not afraid of Cui Gong's reprimands. He probably had been reprimanded too many times. His face was thick. He still held Zhou Gu's shoulders and said, "Let uncle take a good look at you."

Zhou Gu couldn't bear it anymore and pushed him away, "Fourth uncle, your son is more capable. When he comes back in a few days, you can take a good look at him. I'm sure you don't even recognize him. A small official who entered the court at the age of twelve is the best in the world." , but he’s the only one.”

 “Hey.” Cui Yuanbinle said, “That kid, it’s all thanks to you.”

Liu Yuying curled her lips and said, "Hey, what's there to see about that brat? Mr. Wang is the most valuable."

 Zhou Gu: “…”

 He almost touched his forehead.

"Let's go into the house and talk." Cui Gong was speechless and spoke.

Everyone entered the Cui Mansion in a lively manner. The two Cui Mansion were next to each other and both were very big. Because the two young brothers had no family members and only had guards, the two Cui Mansion were empty. There was not even a servant. Now Cui Gong We brought this group of more than a hundred people in, and just in time, the two mansions were finally full.

Zhou Gu said: "Grandpa's mansion is a bit small. Wait for me..."

Before he finished speaking, someone outside shouted loudly: "The lady is here!"

Zhou Gu was stunned.

He got the news suddenly and in a hurry. He didn't send anyone to inform Su Rong. Unexpectedly, she found it herself.

　　Cui Gong and everyone in the Cui family were also stunned. Cui Gong stood up and walked out quickly.

Cui Yuanbin was shocked, "Why are you here?" He followed Cui Gong out and bumped into Zhou Gu with his arm, "Did I come after you?"

 Zhou Gu Qile said, "Fourth uncle, you should study more."

 So as not to worry about things when you are old.

Cui Gong heard clearly from the front, and turned back to glare at Cui Yuanbin, "If you can't speak for a while, just shut up. When the princess got the news of our arrival, she immediately came out of the palace. This is how important she is to us. I don't understand this." .”

Why are you chasing the concubine? This stupid thing has been confused all day long.

Cui Yuanbin touched his nose and quickly shut up.

Liu Yuying scorned him in a low voice, "Husband, you are so stupid."

Cui Yuanbin wanted to say, "You're not that smart." But he was afraid of being scolded by his uncle again, so he simply shut up completely. After all, now is not the time for a quarrel. The concubine has come to the door, and she must be greeted quickly.

Everyone turned around and took a few steps to greet her, only to see that Su Rong had already entered the door. She walked quickly, followed by two maids. She really didn't have the style of a princess, and her journey was very simple.
