The situation in life is a very mysterious thing. Indeed, you don’t know what is waiting for you in the future at this moment.
Su Rong smiled again and said: "But whether it is a small idea or a big pursuit, as long as you don't live a numb life, it is good. The fact that you can stand here shows that no matter how ordinary it is, it will always be good from beginning to end." , you haven’t thrown away anything. For example, even if you don’t have the opportunity to take the imperial examination like men, but the things you like, such as reading, such as studying water control? You don’t think it is unimportant, and you don’t think it is because you may never need it. If you go up, you won’t learn anymore.”
Nangong Yun nodded fiercely, "Yes, I think so too. When I was a child, I liked to follow my father in a private school and study with my peers. But because I am a girl, I was afraid of being criticized, so I pretended to be a tomboy and dressed like a boy. My father raised me as a boy, and I imitated the behavior of a boy. For many years, I almost forgot that I was a girl."
She recalled: "Because I don't have a mother, I was brought up by my father. My father never thought that a woman's lack of talent was a virtue. I also didn't think that I had to learn embroidery or female training. So, influenced by my father, I also like to read and think like a man, but I never thought that one day I would be able to compete with women, because even in the history of Southern Chu, there is a precedent for a queen to be in power, but she has never done the same with men. Take the exam and pass it fairly and fairly."
Su Rong nodded, "So, because of this, you are standing here today."
She asked with a smile: "I see you answered the questions and you have a lot of ingenuity and ideas about water control. Do you want to go to the Ministry of Works?"
“Hmm.” Nangong Yun had no doubt that she wanted to join the Ministry of Industry.
Su Rong nodded, "Okay."
The two stopped talking, and then Nangong Yun looked at Su Rong, walked down again, and asked questions one by one.
Some people spoke a lot in front of others, and some people spoke little in front of them, ranging from ten to eight sentences, and as few as three to two words. She planned to ask all the New Scientist students one by one in person.
She sat down, still very excited.
After Lu An was called away by Ye Guixue who was next to her, he came over and talked to Nangong Yun, "Are you going to the Ministry of Industry?"
"right."
Lu An whispered: "My wife has been talking to you for a long time. I like you very much."
Nangong Yun looked at him and said, "I haven't seen anyone who is displeased by your concubine? Is it because she talks a little longer that she is displeased?"
Lu An said "Huh" and whispered: "Master Ye Guixue Ye told me this, saying that the queen is very pleasing to me. I thought, the queen told me a lot, and also told you a lot. , we should both be people that the queen looks very pleasing to, right?"
Nangong Yun: “…”
If you calculate it this way, then it should be right?
Lu An asked: "It's convenient to ask, what did the concubine say to you?"
Nangong Yun looked at his curious expression and felt that there should be nothing inconvenient. Since the concubine said it, she was not afraid of others knowing about it, so she simply said it.
Lu An looked shocked, "Did the madam tell you so much gossip?"
Nangong Yun nodded, "Yes." Lu An scratched his head, "It can be seen that you are the most pleasing to the lady, and I am not as good as me."
Nangong Yun asked doubtfully: "How can you see it?"
Lu An whispered: "My lady didn't say these gossips to me, I was just chattering to myself for a long time."
Nangong Yun understood and said to him: "I still envy you. The concubine called Master Ye for you and you entered the Ministry of Personnel. I don't know much about the situation of the Ministry of Works now. I entered the Ministry of Works. I don’t know who can protect me.”
She sighed, "I'm not like you, who dare to tell the lady this, find a backer for me."
Lu An chuckled, "Isn't it true that I'm really considering being sent out to become a seventh-grade sesame official? You are different from me. After all, your surname is Nangong. We have the same surname of Nangong. With so many people entering the court, both left and right can do it." Help each other out.”
Nangong Yun looked at him, "Are you kidding me? How can this poor surname be worthy of your envy? I wish I could switch with you." She sighed, "Fortunately, my wife is magnanimous."
Lu An thought about it and raised a glass to her, "Come on, colleague, let's drink."
Nangong Yun toasted to her, "You are under your protection, Lord Ye. As a colleague, if I can't get along in the Ministry of Works, you should take more care of me."
"There is a Mr. Cui in the Ministry of Industry. His name is Cui Yanjin. He is the twelve-year-old son of the Cui family in Qinghe. I suggest you please him more. As long as Mr. Cui protects you, you will definitely be able to get along in the Ministry of Industry." Lu Lu Ann comes up with ideas.
Nangong Yun looked around, "I heard about it, who is Mr. Xiao Cui?"
Lu An also searched after hearing this. After a while, he found the person and whispered: "Here, the one next to the concubine is holding the concubine's sleeve and talking. I don't know what to ask the concubine. That is the young lady." Mr. Cui." After he finished speaking, he said doubtfully: "Huh? That's strange. Isn't it said that Mr. Cui and his cousins are not getting along with each other? It doesn't look like it now."
At least, looking at it this way, I didn’t see the concubine becoming angry or angry, especially Master Xiao Cui who was tugging at the concubine’s sleeves. The two of them were tugging at each other.
Nangong Yun followed Lu An's gaze and said, "Oh, that's Master Xiao Cui. He's such a handsome young man."
Lu An thought, in fact, the most handsome person is the concubine, right? Master Xiao Cui is nothing, she hasn't grown yet. Of course, maybe it won't be as long as the concubine, but does she dare to look? Dare you boast? Of course you don't dare, right? That's the queen's husband, the queen's person.
As soon as he had this idea, Nangong Yun whispered to him: "The husband and the princess are really a perfect match. No matter how you look at it, they are a match made in heaven."
Whether it is talent, appearance, or demeanor, there is no one who is more elegant and suitable than them.
Lu An coughed and said, "Okay, let's drink."
These two people are not something they can evaluate at will, especially at this banquet in Qionglin, where they are surrounded by eyes and ears.
Nangong Yun understood and closed her mouth, but thinking in her heart, I wonder if Mr. Xiao Cui is flattering. Looking at it now, he and the concubine seem to be begging for something, just like children begging for sweets. If they are children, Your character should be very flattering, right?
Cui Yanjin was indeed pestering Zhou Gu, begging him to make a painting for him, because he had heard a long time ago that his cousin made a picture of the mountains and rivers of Southern Chu as a birthday gift for his cousin, and she hung it in the meeting hall , but he has never seen it and has no idea. After all, he feels that his cousin-in-law likes the gift he gave more. He can wear it or hold it in his hand every day. As for painting, although his cousin-in-law can also do it every day. I saw it, but it was hung in the meeting hall and could not be carried with me.
