Ye Shihan pondered for a while, "I heard that there is turmoil in the officialdom in Northern Xinjiang, and the Keermi people who are close to Northern Xinjiang have repeatedly invaded. I want to take a look."
After hearing what he said, the emperor nodded approvingly.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I was still thinking about this matter a few days ago. I received a secret report from there. Someone in northern Xinjiang maliciously incited the officials who were assigned to the imperial court to join forces inside and outside to occupy our northern Xinjiang.
It’s really abominable that we are marching greedily towards our Eastern Jin Dynasty step by step.”
Looking at the emperor's gloomy face and clenched fists, Ye Shihan continued:
"I also have a secret report. The general content is the same as what the emperor said, so I want to check it secretly to see who is the spy over there."
"Quickly report, pass on my handwriting, you can dispatch some men from the army."
"No need." Ye Shihan hurriedly stopped him, "I can only bring Liu Hai alone, but it will be inconvenient if there are more people."
Seeing that the emperor was silent, he added: "It's a long way to go from Northern Xinjiang, and more people will become a burden. Besides, with more people, the target will be much more obvious, and it will be inconvenient to investigate."
The emperor breathed a long sigh of relief, then nodded,
"Okay, then you have to pay attention to your safety. It's extremely cold over there, so keep warm. I'll have someone deliver the red fox cloak that the Earth Ball tribe paid tribute to your house later."
"My dear brother, thank you for your love."
It is said that the emperor liked that cloak so much that he wore it every winter, even though the winter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was not cold.
After coming out of the palace, his mood immediately improved.
During this period of time, he had learned from Doudou that Su Muer planned to hit the road the day after Su Yuanmin released the results, and that she had not found anyone who knew martial arts in private. No one wanted to exchange their lives for money.
.
Therefore, she decided to take Xiao Wu and A Liang at home with her on the road.
Moreover, during this period of time, Xiao Mo always went to Su Muer's place to sit for a while and chat with her in the name of buying braised eggs. For this reason, he was really worried.
However, that Su Mu'er has always refused to give her a smile, and his warm face often sticks to her cold ass.
But even so, he still wanted to get in front of her. Who told him to treat her like that in the first place? Now she deserves to punish herself in any way.
The next morning, when the results were announced, Su Yuanmin got up and bowed three times to the sky in the yard.
Su Muer and Doudou were also dressed up and ready to accompany him to see the imperial list.
Before setting off, he called Su Muer,
"Third Sister, no matter what the outcome is, I want to go to Northern Xinjiang with you. I am the man in the family, how can I let you, Third Sister, go alone."
She shook her head hastily, "No, I told you before that you are still young, and the weather in Northern Xinjiang is extremely cold. You might not be able to bear it if you go there. Besides, our shop always needs someone to take care of it, and grandma and mother-in-law also need it.
You go back often and take a look."
When it came to her grandma, she was still a little worried. She had just gone back to see her the day before yesterday. She was still not in good spirits, although she was much better than before.
Therefore, she and Yuan Min cannot leave at the same time.
Yuan Min pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly,
"Well, I listen to Third Sister, but Third Sister, you have to take care of yourself. By the way, I saw Brother Xiao Wu sharpening two very sharp knives. I think they need to be used for self-defense."
Su Mu'er couldn't help but smile helplessly. If they encountered gangsters, even if their lives were bad, how could the three of them defeat the gangsters?
While the two were talking, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside. Doudou hurriedly broke free from Su Muer's hand, walked out of the yard, and ran towards Wutong Lane. Su Muer and Su Yuanmin also followed.
"Mom, come and see, why are those people dressed so festively?"
Seeing this man dressed in red and green, and a horse with a big red flower on its head, Su Muer couldn't help but look surprised, and Yuan Min was even more puzzled.
At this time, Bai Chen, who was walking in front of the team, walked directly in front of them and bowed.
"Congratulations to Su Yuanmin for winning the top prize."
Won the top prize?
Su Yuanmin glanced at Su Mu'er in surprise, and then looked at Bai Chen in disbelief.
"Master Bai, do you really mean what you said?"
"You're such an idiot." Princess Jiaoyue jumped out of the crowd holding a big red flower, came to him, and punched him.
"Of course it's you. Come on, Number One Scholar, I'll put a big red flower on your head, and then we'll go on a parade."
Princess Jiaoyue's face was full of joy. It seemed that Su Yuanmin won the top prize and she was happier than anyone else.
Su Yuanmin blushed with embarrassment.
When Su Yuanmin was wearing a big red flower and riding a bay-red horse, Su Muer truly felt that this was not a dream, Yuanmin really won the top prize.
She looked at Su Yuanmin, who was riding on horseback and surrounded by everyone, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart, and some tears fell from her eyes.
Yuan Min's efforts over the years have not been in vain. No matter what his future holds, at least he has done it now.
Ye Shihan stood beside her at some point. Watching the parade go away, he said softly:
"are you happy?"
Su Muer turned her face sideways and met his eyes. She quickly turned her face away and raised her hand to gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Of course I'm happy. Yuan Min's wish came true and it brought glory to the Su family."
As she spoke, she walked into the house.
Ye Shihan followed her footsteps into the room, sat opposite her, and looked at her affectionately.
"Su Mu'er, would you feel sad if Yuan Min was not appointed an official by the emperor?"
"No." She replied without thinking: "I don't want Yuan Min to become an official in the court. Letting him take the exam is just to fulfill his wish."
What she said was true. Anyway, she knew in her heart that the emperor would not take advantage of people from the Su family, and he would be wary of the Su family.
Hearing what she said, Ye Shihan nodded with relief. It would be great if she could think like this, and it would save him a lot of worries.
In the afternoon, Su Muer took Su Yuanmin and Doudou back to Sujiazhuang. They wanted to tell their grandmother and others the good news.
The people in Sujiazhuang had already received the news and hung red flowers directly above the door of their home. Everyone stood outside the yard to welcome the arrival of the new champion.
Mrs. Su's face was rarely rosy today. Ever since she learned that Yuan Min had won the first prize in the morning, the smile on her face had not stopped.
Mrs. Liu was even more smiling. Her son won the first prize. This was really great news.
People from Sujiazhuang have also surrounded the place on three levels, inside and outside. Everyone wants to bet on the number one scholar.
It was already afternoon when Su Mu'er and his party returned to Sujiazhuang. Looking at their grandmother and mother standing at the door from a distance, they speeded up their horses together.
Doudou is waving from afar,
"My great-grandmother, second grandfather, grandmother, and brother-in-law won the first prize."
"My great-grandmother, second grandfather, grandmother, and brother-in-law won the first prize."
He shouted happily, but Su Muer didn't stop him.
He didn't shout, but she still wanted to shout loudly. She also wanted everyone in Sujiazhuang to know that the Su family was not in ruins and that the men of the Su family had won the first prize.
