Chapter 430 The Lost Qu Qing
Su He entered the palace, Mu Tou was giving a speech in Xu's house, and everyone at Su's house was very happy as well.
Everyone was screaming, and Shunzi and others were already crying.
"To bring honor to our family, we'll have a banquet when we get back, woo woo woo."
Shunzi sat on the ground and cried bitterly. He had been very nervous these past few days, fearing that something might happen to the three people.
"Gong'er, hurry up and write a letter and send it back to the village. Our Mu Tou has become a high-ranking official!"
Wang Laoliu excitedly urged his grandson to start writing, and he ran to send it immediately.
"Yes, write it quickly. If Mu Tou becomes an official, we should all support him. If Jinyang City runs out of food, we will provide it ourselves."
Wang Sheng wiped his tears and offered some advice.
Su Yuwen also came back, this time thinking about looking for wood.
"Where's the wood?"
Liu Bai smiled and replied, "He went to the Xu residence to discuss the marriage."
“Niang Wen, let’s go buy some wine and food. We won’t cook today. Let’s buy some.”
Wang Sheng reached into his pocket and took out 100 taels of silver.
"You don't need to pay for it, we'll pay for it."
Shunzi called out to Juhua to get the silver.
"I am the elder here, you all listen to me."
A few people were arguing about who should pay the money. Liu Niang watched with a smile and finally gave them some advice.
"50 taels per family. Go to the restaurant and book a banquet. Then we can book a boat back to the city."
This was a good idea. Liu Bai was used to doing this kind of thing. He gave 100 taels to Liu Niang to book the banquet, and he went to book a boat.
Xu Wenyuan looked at him with a smile. It was great. He could just lie down against the wood and work as a minor official under the wood in the future, living a free and easy life.
"Where's A-Qing? Have you seen A-Qing?"
Xu Wenyuan slapped his head and wondered how he could have forgotten about Qu Qing.
"Wenyuan, Aqing hasn't come back. I don't know where he went."
"Yeah, we thought we were with you guys."
Xu Wenyuan was extremely anxious. This time, Liu Bai and Su He were not around, and he didn't know who to talk to.
Royal Palace
Su He just obtained the imperial decree from the Empress Dowager.
"Hehua, you have to follow me too. You will definitely not come to the capital in the next few years."
Chen Zhiling was reluctant to hold Su He's hand. For some reason, she felt that Su He was very kind.
"Yes, Queen Mother, the Emperor asked me to assist my brother in managing Jinyang Prefecture. I will definitely be busy at the border in the next two to three years."
Chen Zhiling felt very sorry, "You are obviously more suitable to be an official than your brother, why are you unwilling to do so?"
"Compared to being an official, Hehua feels that being a teacher is more fulfilling. Only one Hehua and one Su Che are not enough. I want to cultivate more talents and contribute to the prosperity of our Dayong in the future."
Su He smiled widely at Chen Zhiling.
"My Queen Mother, do you believe I can do this?"
Chen Zhiling stared at the girl in front of him in a daze. The firm look in her eyes when she spoke, and the confidence she emanated from her body, all made people look sideways.
"Believe it. I believe you can."
"Lotus, like the emperor, I am waiting for your good news in the capital. If you need my help, please write to me. Our friendship has remained unchanged even after ten years. Just treat me as your elder and let me participate."
Su He smiled and nodded, "He Hua, remember, I will not let you and the emperor down. Life goes on and struggle never stops."
Chen Zhiling's eyes were sore and she held back her tears. "Go, kid, and focus on your career."
"Empress Dowager, Lotus is gone. I wish you eternal youth."
Su He nodded heavily, bowed respectfully to Chen Zhiling, and then left without looking back.
If the separation is painful, end the scene quickly.
If we are destined to be together, we will meet again.
Su He didn't know that after she left, there were two more people in front of Chen Zhiling.
"Ashi, do you regret it?"
There was silence in the hall for a long time, "She is free and should not be bound by rules."
Chen Zhiling wiped her tears and was about to speak.
"Mom, don't listen to what this kid says. I don't like him at all. This kid has a sullen face all day long. It makes me angry just by looking at him."
Chen Zhiling stared at the person who was speaking. "Why are you here? I invited Ah Shi to have dinner. You can go back and review the memorials."
Chen Dou was not convinced, "Why can't I come? The entire Dayong belongs to me. I can go wherever I want."
Chen Zhiling turned around and looked for tools to hit someone.
"Aunt, he came here to seek refuge. Master Shen brought his father here too. They are both lying in the Yangxin Palace again."
Chen Dou was very embarrassed and glared at his nephew who was trying to sabotage him.
"Master Shen just couldn't figure it out for the moment. Maybe the two of them have left now."
Chen Shi sneered, "I think you want to wait until they are tired of crying before finding someone to send them back."
"You little bastard, you have no respect for your elders. Oh, mother, you are really good at it."
"Hurry up and go, I haven't prepared any food for you."
Chen Zhiling ruthlessly expelled her own son from the palace and stood at the door to prevent him from coming in.
"Your officials are working hard, so you should not slack off."
When Chen Dou heard this, he had no way to refute it and could only leave angrily.
Su He ran all the way home.
"Sister Hehua, go see A-Qing."
When Xu Wenyuan saw Su He finally came back, he hurried over to ask for help.
"His palace examination did not go well?"
"He won't tell. He's in the stable all alone."
When Su He heard this, he hurried to the stable.
Qu Qing sat alone in the corner, wearing the same clothes he had worn that morning, but now they were wrinkled.
"Ah Qing, are you sad?"
Qu Qing raised his head and looked at Su He, "Sister He Hua, I don't think I can be an official anymore."
Su He looked at Qu Qing in surprise; the child's eyes were red.
"How could that be? You are a Jinshi now, but you just haven't been assigned a position yet."
When Su He entered the palace, she happened to ask the Empress Dowager, who told her that only the top ten in the first batch entered the Hanlin Academy, and the others would have to study for another three years.
"My grandfather's connections didn't work. The emperor doesn't allow anyone to go south this time. From now on, I will be the only one left in the capital."
Qu Qing regretted that if he had known earlier, he would have chosen Jinyang City like Mu Tou and the others.
"So what do you think now? If you don't want to stay in the capital, why not go to Jinyang City with Mu Tou and Wen Yuan?"
Qu Qing looked at Su He in surprise, "Is this something I can decide?"
"You can't, but Mu Mu can. The emperor won't mind if he chooses one more person. Let him tell him tomorrow when he goes to the palace to say goodbye. He will definitely be able to do it."
Su He smiled at Qu Qing and said, "Are you upset about such a small matter? If you have any problems in the future, just tell me and we can find a solution together."
Qu Qing grinned, "Sister Hehua, thank you."
"No need to thank me. If Mu Mu knew you were willing to go with me, he would be so happy."
Qu Qing smiled embarrassedly, "If I had known, I would have directly joined the second batch. My hair turned white with worry during the exam."
Su He shook his head in disapproval.
"No journey is in vain. If you don't go through this, how can you be firm in your own ideas? Okay, you should calm down and get out of here quickly. Wenyuan is very worried. Mu Tou is at his father-in-law's house. I think he will be back soon."
Su He asked Qu Qing to go out, and Qu Qing stood up obediently.
"Ah Ching."
Su He smiled when he saw someone coming. Mu Tou was back.
She left silently, leaving the three of them to discuss it slowly.
