Seeing that the two of them were a little shaken, Su Zhen struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Who said women are worse than men? Soon, the imperial court will issue an order to open private schools. Both men and women can enroll and take the imperial examination."
"Can women also take the imperial examination and become officials in the court?" Yirou asked in surprise.
"Of course, the imperial court will also promulgate a new decree. It will no longer force men and women to marry. Those who do not want to get married will no longer be punished accordingly."
Yueniang sensed something was wrong: "Are you saying that the court wants to amend the law?"
"That's right, it's not just criminal laws, but also land laws and industrial laws. There will be more reforms and reforms that will benefit the people in the future."
"Did you and He Lan propose these?" Su Xian'er asked.
"right."
Su Xian'er nodded: "Okay! I understand! I will study hard! I won't lose the Su family's face!"
Su Shen'er actually knew Su Xian'er's true identity from Su Zhen's mouth. After hearing this, she touched her hair and nodded: "Zhen'er, you can go to Nanhuang with peace of mind. The Su family has our support."
.”
"Well, thank you for your hard work!"
She has paved bridges and roads for them. Whether they can seize the bright future depends on themselves.
Yueniang said: "You two Miss Su, you have a lot to learn. Don't worry, the door of Jiyuefang will be open to you at any time. It's getting late today, so you should go back and rest first."
"Then let's say goodbye first." Su Zhen handed over.
"good!"
Yueniang sent the four of them to the gate of Jiyuefang. Su Zhen was the last one to get on the carriage. Just as she was about to leave, a black shadow suddenly came over.
She reacted very quickly, condensed her energy into a weapon, and was about to take action against the intruder.
"Zhen'er! Don't do anything!"
Yueniang shouted anxiously, Su Zhen quickly stopped her hand and took a closer look, it turned out to be Jiang Xing.
The smell of alcohol still lingered on his body, and he tilted his head to look at Su Zhen with his cloudy eyes.
"I think I've seen you before."
"Oh, I've seen it before, what's wrong?" Su Zhen responded lightly.
"Are you going to Southern Wasteland?"
"."
"I heard everything you said upstairs."
Su Zhen raised her eyebrows. He was obviously very drunk, but his hearing was still so good. I really didn't know whether he was pretending to be drunk or really drunk.
"Then what? What does it have to do with you whether I go to Southern Wasteland or not?"
"Take me with you."
"Okay, give me a reason."
"Well, what are you doing in Southern Wasteland?"
"kill."
"I'll help you kill it!"
Jiang Xing tightened his grip on the black stick in his hand, and black mist burst out, with powerful pressure overflowing. Su Zhen was startled, and subconsciously held his wrist, and the black mist dissipated immediately.
"You are too strong. What should I do if you lose your memory and lose control again when we get to Southern Wilderness?"
"You call my name and I will wake up."
"Why?"
"I only remember the name."
Su Zhen frowned and looked at Yueniang, who nodded without any trace, and then Su Zhen moved away.
"Get in the car."
"Thank you!"
Jiang Xing did not get into the carriage, but just sat outside, holding the black stick with his eyes closed and motionless.
The coachman was trembling on the side, and Su Zhen calmly ordered: "Go back home."
"Yes! Master!"
The wheels of the carriage turned and drove towards the Taifu's Mansion.
Mu Yao stood beside Yueniang and asked in a low voice: "Yue Niang, is the master going to do something big again?"
"Let her be, we just need to do what she told us."
"yes!"
Su Mansion.
After Su Zhen and the other five people returned to the Su Mansion, they each returned to their own courtyards.
Su Zhen brought Jiang Xing to Yu Qin Courtyard. Normally, before entering the door, she could hear the sound of wooden fish being knocked inside, but today she didn't hear it.
A bad premonition arose spontaneously, and she immediately rushed into the bedroom where Yuzhu lived. The room was neatly tidied and spotless, but Yuzhu's clothes and Master Qingmiao's Zen staff were missing.
She looked around and found a letter and a wooden box under the window, with the words "From the donor Su" written on the envelope.
Open the envelope and see a few numbers.
"Thanks to the great kindness of donor Su, I repaid you with pearls. From now on, I will never leave the world of mortals and fall into Buddhism."
Picking up the wooden box, there was a sound like beads rolling inside. When I opened it, I saw fifty red or black beads placed there.
Yuzhu didn't say where these tower beads came from. Su Zhen took out the blue yinga flower wooden tube, and the beads seemed to sense something and flew in one after another.
At this time, the servant's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Sir, Master Jin is here!"
"Let him in."
"yes!"
After a while, Jin Lian walked in with a happy face and a cloth bag.
The wooden tube in Su Zhen's hand became even brighter.
"You Ning, you guessed it right. It was indeed that boy who stole all the beads! Let me tell you, how could you only find one at Taoist Master Qingyue's place?"
Jin Lian opened the bag in his hand, revealing a total of twenty black beads inside.
Su Zhen clicked her tongue twice: "They are all black Tazi beads! How many bad things have been done!"
"Where do you think I found it?"
"He won't be hiding in his room anyway."
"Hehe! Let me tell you, that grandson is quite wicked. He gave these beads to the woman named Wei Xin from the Red Mansion. I rummaged through her room, but I didn't expect that she hid it on the beam.
"
Su Zhen sighed: "What about Shi Zhenfang? Is he still alive?"
"When I went there, he was being beaten by a group of ghosts! He only had half a breath left."
"Ah? A group of ghosts?"
"Yes! There are quite a few! I have seen several of them. They are Lord Shi's first wife and several legitimate sons and daughters! It looks like they died violently at first sight! No wonder he turned from a concubine to a disciple. It turned out that he made a wish to let him
Everyone in the main house will die! It’s so cruel! Fortunately, you have that amulet, otherwise, I would have to die there too.”
"According to what you said, there are actually no evil spirits at all. They all died of their own evil thoughts."
"That's right."
Su Zhen vaguely felt that something was wrong. If there was no bead spirit at all, then how did Yu Qingwan use other people's beads to get in and out at will?
The expedition was about to start tomorrow, and she didn't care that the imperial minister was late. She took out more than a dozen talismans and gave them to Jin Lian: "There have been too many evil spirits recently, so brothers should be careful. In addition, there is no need to investigate the things I asked you to check before.
Continue."
"Do you already know the truth?"
Su Zhen shook her head and refused to say anything, obviously not wanting to involve him.
Jin Lian understood in his heart, so he put down the Ta Zi Bead, put the talisman away, and left.
Su Zhen unscrewed the lid of the wooden tube again, and the twenty black tower beads flew in.
One thousand and seventy-two Cangta beads exude golden brilliance, swirling around fifteen Cangta beads that are moist and milky white.
There are still eight tower beads left.
Jiang Xing held his stick from beginning to end and stood aside without saying a word.
Su Zhen put the letter left by Yuzhu in the wooden box and said to Jiang Xing: "It's late at night. You will stay in Yuzhu's room tonight. Early tomorrow morning, follow me on the expedition to the Southern Wilderness!"
Jiang Xing nodded and walked to the bedroom, and Su Zhen also walked outside.
