Mrs. Su is old, but her mind is still bright.
I guess I guessed that I indirectly reminded Su Wu.
Mrs. Su was wary, so Qiao Ruanxiang felt relieved and didn't think about her again.
His thoughts returned to Su Wu.
It seems that he encountered some major case again and has not returned home in the past few days.
Even when I went back, I came and went in a hurry.
She was at the incense shop during the day, but she also heard rumors from the people that many officials committed suicide at home.
The death was so tragic that it is not accurate to say that he committed suicide because he still shouted for help before he died.
But after just shouting, he was stabbed in the neck by himself.
She asked Zhiqiu to inquire more carefully, and found out that in just a few days, four or five officials, big and small, had died, and the largest official among them was the Minister of War.
At this time, small battles continued on the border, and supplies and other matters needed to be arranged, but something happened to the Minister of War.
Moreover, in the past few days, there have been rumors in the streets that those officials were controlled by ghosts and died.
But Zi didn't say anything, and his strange power confuses the gods.
Qiao Ruanxiang naturally didn't believe in these heresies. Those so-called being controlled by ghosts were actually man-made.
Just like making incense, incense can not only calm the mind, but some incense can also make people delirious.
This case is indeed very difficult. I imagine the emperor would be furious and ask Su Wu to investigate thoroughly.
She wanted to see Su Wu, but she was afraid it would not be easy.
He didn't even visit the outer room where he was raised for several days, and it was even more difficult for him to see him.
But there is no rush, they are all in Su Mansion, there will always be times when they meet.
It is now early February, after the cabinet examination, it will be spring.
Counting the days, Su Mo will finish the cabinet examination tomorrow.
Thanks to the thyme wood given by the old lady, the incense making went smoothly.
It’s time to go to Han Mansion the day after tomorrow.
Thinking that he would meet Mr. Han, the chief minister, he unconsciously thought of Su Wu's words, and the corners of his lips subconsciously rose.
A faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Chief Assistant Han shouldn't be such a stingy person who would anger others, right?
Qiao Ruanxiang put the incense in the wooden box and put it away, and returned to the Su Mansion early.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a servant from the Qiao family coming, looking for her.
After seeing her, he didn't bother to inform her, so he handed her over and said, "Third Miss, the Second Young Master will set off in three days to escort back a batch of goods. Hearing that Miss is obsessed with making incense recently, he sent the younger one to ask if the Miss has anything that needs to be brought. Special incense material?"
"Starting in three days? Why is it a month early if it's not March?" Qiao Ruanxiang opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, frowning slightly and asking with a look of doubt on her face.
The servant said truthfully: "The goods are in the Western Region. The second young master heard somewhere that there is a magic medicine to cure the first young master's eye disease. I want to find it in advance. I have to try my luck in case it works."
The second brother is like this. He usually quarrels with the eldest brother and never forgives others.
But when something happens, I really feel sorry for my elder brother.
He knew that his eldest brother's only hobby was reading. Now that his eldest brother had hurt his eyes, he should be the one who was most anxious.
But the eldest brother also acted really well. For such a long time, the second brother didn't notice anything.
I thought to myself for a moment, thinking that it might not be a bad thing for my second brother to leave early. In his first life, he was ambushed when he came back, losing his goods and breaking his legs.
If the second brother can go earlier, it will take the same time to wait for the goods to be ready and escorted back, but it will also be better to be alert if he can do some research in advance.
Also, my eldest brother will take the scientific examination in a few days, so it’s time to regain his sight and let his family know.
As long as he hid it from Su Mo before entering the examination room, it would be fine.
Then she whispered a few words to the servant. The servant was shocked and quickly ran back to Qiao's house.
In the Qiao family, Qiao Zhusong learned the truth and that his eldest brother was not blind. He was angry, annoyed and a little lucky.
He couldn't bear to scold his little sister, so he pointed at Qiao Shubai's nose and cursed her hard.
After listening to the servant's instructions, the younger sister asked him to set off in three days as usual, but before leaving, he must take all the servants of the Qiao family who are skilled in martial arts.
He also spent money to hire a few charlatan killers to protect him.
The servant also said: "The third young lady said that the second young master is likely to be ambushed along the way this time, which is extremely dangerous, and the young master may lose his legs! So the young lady specifically told the young master to do as the young lady said. .
The young lady also said that the way back should not take the official road, but take the small road if there is one. Anyway, the young master will arrive at the place a month in advance and will survey the small road in advance, so there should be no danger. "
Qiao Zhusong's face was full of doubts, "Did my little sister get any accurate information to know that I would be ambushed? That's official, and I've taken care of it all the way. How could anyone dare to ambush me?"
Qiao Shubai believed his little sister when he heard that Qiao Erxi had poisoned him before. He looked solemn and said, "My little sister's reminder is reasonable. Just listen. Otherwise, your legs may not be saved!"
Qiao Zhusong was still angry when he heard Qiao Shubai speak, but when he heard the last sentence, he got choked in his throat and did not say it.
He can't lose his legs even if he loses his life, that's his freedom.
At the moment, I had to seriously think about what my little sister said.
After a moment, he nodded solemnly.
After all, he had some connections in the world, so it was no problem to find a few experts to protect him.
On the second day, the conclusion was reached on the day of the cabinet examination.
Su Mo's article "National Fragrance" was simply stunning, and many people in Hanlin College couldn't help but admire it.
Even Mr. Han, the chief minister, was full of praise.
After seeing Su Mo's articles at that banquet, Mr. Han concluded that his literary talent was mediocre.
Seeing that he came to take the cabinet entrance examination today, I didn't even think that he would pass.
But today's article subverted his view. Every word in the article is really precious, and every sentence reveals his talent.
A rare smile appeared on Mr. Han's old face. He read this article and liked it more and more.
It was rare these days that there was something that didn't make him panic.
His approving eyes fell on Su Mo again, and he couldn't help but wonder, was he wrong last time?
Immediately he was approved as an excellent candidate and passed Su Mo's cabinet examination.
None of the other cabinet ministers had any objections.
Su Mo tried his best to suppress the crazily raised corners of his lips and looked at everyone's admiring and envious glances.
His vanity was greatly satisfied.
My heart was so excited that I wanted to fly.
But when I thought that this was another copy of Qiao Shubai's, my joy was dimmed unconsciously.
After all, I can't be completely happy.
You Qi thought that Su Wu still had control over him, and today's vanity became even more illusory.
It's like a mist that disappears when the wind blows.
After all, he is also from the Su family. He will be good only if he is good to himself. He should not do anything to expose himself, right?
He thought to himself, his brows furrowed unconsciously.
"Why are you frowning? This article is written in a subtle and touching way. It's really wonderful. What else is there to frown about?" It was Old Chief Assistant Han who spoke.
