The officials of the Ministry of Rites posted the imperial list on the wall outside the gate of Shangshu Province, and sent officials to report the good news to the eight major families. In the past, this was a job that everyone rushed to go, and the valves have always given generous rewards, as well as good wine and good food.

But today, the officials sent to other places had already set off, and the three teams of men and horses who were assigned to Xiahou Valve, Xie Valve, and Lu Valve, all became shrunken turtles.

"What's wrong?" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was in charge of the distribution, gloated and asked knowingly: "The door will be closed in a while, and there will be no place to go if you want to receive the reward." ”

"Your Excellency, you can't push us into the fire pit." The official sent to the Xiahou valve said with a bitter face: "If you go to the Xiahou valve at this time, you will lose your life in it." ”

"Yes, people have four good grades, but now they only give three, and Xie Valve's people don't eat us alive, we don't want to be the scapegoats." The official sent to Xie also said with tears in his eyes: "My lord, there are old and young of us, but we can't afford to toss like this." ”

"They have a reason, you go to the land valve, there will be no danger, right?" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites glared at the official sent to Lu Valve and said, "They are the first holy product in the past, and the reward must be much thicker than others." ”

"Alas, the truth is this truth, but I'm afraid that we have a life to take it, but we don't have a life to spend it." The official sent to the Lu Valve also said with a bitter face: "Who doesn't know that they have offended the Xiahou Valve miserably, and we will also go to Baba's to report the good news, who knows if Ming'er will be cleaned up by the Xiahou Valve's people." ”

"Okay, okay, don't treat yourself as a dish." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites laughed and said, "What is the identity of the person?" Will you have the same knowledge as you errand boys? It's just that you don't have a good face for you, and even if you don't have a punching bag for others, you're not qualified. ”

"Alas, okay......" At the urging of Shangguan, the third class of people went out slowly.

。

The officials who went to Cui Valve did not have this trouble, Cui Valve's results in this big competition were very gratifying, Cui Baiyu was rated as Shangzhong, becoming one of the three second-class people, and the other three also got the ideal ranking. Naturally, the valve rewarded the officials who reported the good news, and asked the steward to take them to eat and drink without mentioning it.

In the house of Cui Ying in Shengpingfang.

The sound of firecrackers outside crackled non-stop, but Su Yingsleeve was not infected by the joyful atmosphere outside, and sat on the couch with an indifferent expression, listening to Mrs. Cui's report on the latest news.

"I just received a secret report from Taiping City, the Daoist Sect is about to leave the customs, this time the miracle is great, I'm afraid I will go south as soon as possible."

"Well, that's a problem." Su Yingsleeve frowned and said: "I thought that the master would not be out of the customs for a year and a half, but if he returns to the capital in a short time, my plan will probably be ruined." ”

"Daozong is afraid that he is worried about the situation in Beijing, so he will leave the customs in advance." Mrs. Cui also said worriedly: "If his old man knows about the marriage between the Holy Maiden and that Lu Yun, I am afraid that he will be furious." After a pause, she seemed to have made a lot of determination, gritted her teeth and said: "It's really not good, let Ning'er marry Lu Yun, and the holy daughter won't mix." ”

"How's that going to work?" Su Yingsleeve raised her eyebrows, and refused without thinking about it: "It's about my plan, what's the use of Ning'er?" ”

"Is the saint really going to marry him? The Taoist sect will not allow it. Mrs. Cui said worriedly. She didn't know that Sun Yuanlang had already seen that Lu Yun's exercises were different, and when she returned to Luodu this time, she would definitely try to find out Lu Yun's bottom. If he knew that Lu Yun was practicing the Emperor Extreme Cave Xuangong, then the matter that the Holy Maiden covered up for him would be exposed, and she would no longer want to use Lu Yun to achieve her own schemes.

"Forget it, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." Su Yingsleeve thought about it, and it was almost an impossible task to fool Sun Yuanlang, who was clever. She can only take one step at a time......

When she was worried, the little maid rushed in, smiled and shouted at Su Yingsleeve: "The emperor's list has been posted, and Miss's sweetheart is really not ordinary, and she has the best product that has never been seen before!" ”

"What's all the fuss about." Su Yingsleeve said as a matter of course: "I have sacrificed so much to help him, I can't mix it up anymore, and I don't deserve to be my pawn." ”

"Miss will be duplicitous." The little maid pursed her lips, not believing Su Yingsleeve's words at all. She accompanies the saint all day long, and there is a way that is clear to the bystander, and some things are more clear than Su Yingsleeve herself.

"Okay, okay, stop chattering, don't you see that the saint is annoying?" Mrs. Cui glared at the little maid, and suddenly made a silent gesture to tell her not to speak falsely.

The little maid hurriedly shut up. After a while, I heard a maidservant outside the door: "Madam, there is a girl who calls herself the Heavenly Maiden, and she wants to see Miss by name......"

"Celestial Maiden?" When Mrs. Cui heard these two words, she couldn't help but feel terrified, and she didn't care that the maid was still outside, so she lowered her voice and said to Su Yingsleeve: "It won't be exposed, right?" ”

"Don't panic." Su Yingsleeve also looked tight, but he calmed down and said, "Let's see." ”

。

In the flower hall of Cui Zhai, the goddess wore a white dress and carried a sword. Long hair is like a waterfall, and the powder is not applied. Ming Mingyi stood there quietly, but like a white plum blooming in the snow, people didn't dare to look at it.

She was not bothered by her peerless appearance and cold temperament that no one else entered, and her pure and peaceful gaze fell on the hanging scroll in the middle hall, and she admired it wholeheartedly.

It is a genuine landscape painting holding Puzi, and there is Ge Hong's handwritten poem on it.

'If Lan is on a high place, the wind is empty. The Sichuan forest loses hopes, and the sun and the moon are long.

Sprinkled with secluded people, Mercedes-Benz vulgar tired. When the foot is physiological, Bu Zhu and Shanyang. ’

The Heavenly Maiden couldn't help but be attracted by the fluttering fairy meaning between the lines of the landscape, and almost forgot what she was doing for a while.

It wasn't until the sound of light footsteps sounded that she slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Cui Ning'er, who was supported by the maid.

"I didn't expect it to be a celestial girl." Cui Ning'er bowed weakly to the heavenly girl, and said with surprise on her face: "I just heard the report from someone, and I thought it was someone pretending." ”

The Heavenly Maiden didn't answer, but only used the sword heart eye that could see through all the ghosts to firmly lock on Cui Ning'er.

Cui Ning'er felt like a shaved lamb, and there was no secret in her body, so she could only look at the Heavenly Maiden innocently with that pitiful, weak and helpless gaze.

"Why are you so rude? My young lady is talking to you! The little maid on the side quit and glared at the goddess and scolded.

The Heavenly Maiden smiled apologetically at the little maid, and suddenly made a move like electricity, and her slender fingers turned into sharp swords, pointing towards Cui Ning'er's eyebrows!
