Chapter 267: The Temple Examination Begins
This prince was so concerned, which couldn't help but make Su Cimo slightly curious.
Although Su Cimo was curious in his heart, he didn't say anything to the Liu family on his face. Because although she is under a lot of pressure, she will not tell her mother everything, so that her mother will have a bad life all day long, and it is not necessary.
But even if Su Cimo didn't say anything, Liu seemed to have seen through her mind a long time ago, and those empathetic eyes were looking at her with a light smile at the moment.
"Cimo, in fact, you don't have to be too stressed, you are your mother's daughter. Mother can understand your distress. Liu's extremely gentle voice sounded in Su Cimo's ears, making Su Cimo's heart soft and wanting to cry.
"Mother! How do you know that the pressure of rhetoric is high!? Su Cimo stepped forward and hugged Liu's back, then lay on her shoulder, burying his face deep in Liu's shoulder.
"In this palace test, my mother doesn't ask you to become famous, my mother hopes that you can live peacefully in this world. Resignation, my mother doesn't want to have many things, but I only hope that you won't be like a man anymore, supporting too many things for the family that shouldn't be supported. Liu Shi said silently in Su Cimo's ear with a serious expression.
Su Cimo's originally tense nerves were released in an instant.
Yes, she always thought that she had taken on too many things for this Su family that a girl of this age should not bear, but few people could understand her like her mother, and thought that at this time, the Su family should bear the things.
Su Cimo couldn't help but have some tears rolling in her eyes, but now in this situation, she couldn't help but work hard. Even if he works hard, Su Cimo doesn't think there will be too much harm, but if he doesn't work hard, Su Cimo still doesn't have that sense of security.
"Okay, mother, after listening to your words, Cimo feels much better now." Su Cimo replied with a smile, and then she reached out and hugged Liu Shi tighter, because this feeling was really good, as if she had become a baby again and returned to her mother's arms, so that she couldn't help but feel a little attached.
Su Cimo's mood was suddenly relieved, and he was no longer as depressed and uncomfortable as before.
In the afternoon, I don't know how Gu An in the city learned the news of Su Cimo's return to the house, and he also came to the house to visit Su Cimo on this day.
Knowing that Su Cimo was going to take the palace exam tomorrow, Gu An also cheered Su Cimo up.
Su Cimo asked him if there was anything going on today, so Gu An explained it truthfully.
"Cimo, I'm here today to thank you. Do you know the girls who listened to you and went to private school!? Gu An looked at Su Cimo with shallow eyes.
Su Cimo nodded, so Gu An continued: "They listened to your words and went to a private school, and now they have all dropped out of the private school one by one, and have found a good livelihood, and some of them can even support their families!" ”
Su Cimo was shocked, he really didn't expect that the things he just mentioned casually that day really made those girls so attentive and did it seriously.
"Oh!? Is it! That's great. Su Cimo smiled very happily, looking at Gu An with brilliance in his eyes.
"Well, isn't it!? I just dare to tell you at this good time today, you are now a role model for everyone, and I also hope that you can be the top student in high school this time, and you are really not an ordinary person with other women. Gu An looked at Su Cimo with a serene smile.
Su Cimo nodded, smiled, and then said, "Thank you for your suggestions and encouragement, I think I will continue to work hard as you wish." ”
Su Cimo talked to Gu An for a while, and Gu An deduced that he had left beforehand. He also said that he heard about her high school champion another day, and he would invite her to eat and drink in the future. Su Cimo smiled and excused himself and sent him out of the Su Mansion.
Since then, Su Cimo silently swore in his heart that if he has the opportunity in the future, he must find a way to implement the new policy, so that women can also participate in the imperial examination, so that everyone has the opportunity to change their fate like her.
Early the next morning, Liu got up early, she got up early and prepared two red eggs for Su Cimo. The Liu family also wanted to have an auspicious situation, so that Su Cimo could have a good luck and successfully complete today's palace test.
After eating breakfast and eating two eggs, Su Cimo not only had a full stomach at the moment, but also a very full mood.
After eating, Su Cimo packed his clothes in the house and prepared to leave for the palace to take the palace exam.
The Liu family was not at ease, but he still followed Su Cimo out and sent her to the palace.
Along the way, sitting in the narrow carriage of Su Mansion, Liu Shi has always been a little faintly worried between her eyebrows, but she didn't say anything, whenever Su Cimo looked at her, she would put on a smiling face and comfort her to relax.
Su Cimo is full of confidence in today's palace exam, and with his mother's encouragement, he only feels a little happier in his heart.
Soon, the carriage of the Su Mansion came to the gate of the palace.
Liu Shi looked at Cimo's figure standing outside the palace gate with some reluctance. Su Cimo turned his eyes and smiled at Liu's family, waved his hand and said, "Mother, then I'll go in!" ”
"Well, be careful, don't be careless." After all, Mother Liu still couldn't rest assured that Su Cimo was dealing with the people in the palace, so she reminded.
Su Cimo immediately smiled at the Liu clan and nodded, and then walked quickly towards the narrow palace gate.
At this time, a horse drove over, and Song Bibai also walked down from the carriage of the Song Mansion, and the Liu family was slightly startled, but he didn't expect to meet Song Bibai at the gate of this palace.
"Song Xiucai!"
As soon as Song Bibai got out of the carriage, he heard a familiar voice calling him, and immediately Song Bibai looked up, it turned out to be Su Cimo's mother, Liu.
"Mother Liu, why are you here!? What about rhetoric? Song Bibai said with a kind smile on her face.
Liu nodded and smiled: "Well, she has already gone in." I just want to ask you to help me take care of Cimo in the palace. You also know that Cimo has a stubborn temper, and I'm really afraid that she will cause something bad in the palace. ”
Song Bibai nodded, and then said with a smile: "Okay Mother Liu, don't worry, I will pay attention to all the actions of Cimo and ask her not to make any moves that violate the palace rules." ”
Liu Shi listened to Song Bibai's words, and she was very relieved, she immediately nodded at Song Bibai, and then said, "Well, since that's the case, then please leave it to you." ”
Song Bibai answered, then said goodbye with a smile, and then entered the palace gate.
After listening to Liu's mother's entrustment, Song Bibai felt a little confused, he really didn't know whether it was good or bad to expose Su Cimo's participation in the big exam as a woman and successfully entered the palace exam, would this matter become a fuse, and finally make Su Cimo pay a heavy price!?
Song Bibai couldn't guess it, but he silently hoped in his heart that Su Cimo wouldn't have an accident.
Soon, when it was about to start the palace test, Su Cimo and the others were also led by the father-in-law in the internal affairs office to gather in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace to wait for a while. Because the palace examination for a while was held in the main hall of this Qianqing Palace, the nearest side hall became their waiting room.
As soon as Su Cimo entered the side hall, he saw that the people from the Internal Affairs Office in the side hall had already prepared a chair for one of them, and these fifty chairs were placed in rows, looking so clean and tidy.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office arranged the seats one by one from the nearest position to the door according to the ranking of their written exams.
Because Su Cimo won the first place in the written test, the seat was the first in the first row closest to the door.
Next to each of the two adjacent chairs is a square table, on which are the melons and fruits and refreshments arranged for them in advance.
They will now wait here until the auspicious time comes, and the emperor's palace will begin to call their names, and then they will go to the Qianqing palace one by one to take the palace examination.
Su Cimo looked at the classmates in this room, their faces were a little anxious, but Su Cimo's face was extremely calm at the moment, because she also knew in her heart that there was no turning back when she opened the bow, and now there was no way back except to stabilize her mind and play well.
Soon, the auspicious time came, and the father-in-law in the side hall immediately ordered that no one in the temple should be allowed to talk to each other, and instructed those who heard their names in a while to go to the main hall to take the temple examination by themselves.
Then someone opened the door of this side hall, and outside the open hall door, there was the sound of the chief eunuch beside the emperor shouting loudly outside the door of the main hall.
"Li Yiwen, enter the main hall." The eunuch's voice shouted word by word, very rhythmically.
Soon, in the seats of all the talents in the side hall, a man in a green cloth linen robe stood up and walked outside.
Only then did Su Cimo know that the palace test was out of order, and the emperor immediately selected people to enter the palace to participate in the palace test.
It is also strange to say, in the past, the palace examination in the palace generally only selected the top 20 candidates for the written test results of each year, but this time it was a break of the routine and selected 50 people at once, Su Cimo heard a few talents around him chatting casually, and only then did he understand that it turned out that there were still prefectures in the court recently, and there was a lack of many manpower to help the emperor manage the government, so the emperor was so anxious to select more talents from it to replace him.
Su Cimo was inexplicably happy for the Wang Hao brothers in his heart, but fortunately, he could also take the opportunity to enter the palace to participate in a palace examination, even if he failed, it was also an opportunity to accumulate experience.
But this time it was also a bit dangerous, because it is said that only 20 out of 50 people can be officially selected for nomination. Then it is possible to have the opportunity to be selected by the emperor for the conferment.
