Officials of the Ministry of Rites posted the imperial banner on the screen wall outside the Shangshu Province, and sent officials to report good news to the eight major families. In the past, this was a job that everyone rushed to go. Not only did the various families always give rewards, but they also had good wine and food to entertain.

But today, the officials sent to other places had already set out and were assigned to the Xiahou Valve, Xie Valve and the Land Valve, all of them turned into turtles with their heads.

"What's wrong?" asked the Minister of Rites, who was responsible for the assignment, gloatingly, knowingly: "The gate of the Erfang will be closed in a while, and I have nowhere to go if I want to receive the reward."

"Sir, you can't push us into the fire pit." The official sent to the Xiahou Quarantine said with a bitter look on his face: "When you go to the Xiahou Quarantine, you may lose your life inside."

"Yes, I have only given three of them well. The people from Xie's family have eaten us alive. We don't want to be the scapegoat." The official sent to Xie's family also said with tears in his eyes: "Sir, we have old people above and young people below, but we can't stand such trouble."

"They have reason. You will not be in danger when you go to the landlord, right?" The Minister of Rites glared at the officials sent to the landlord and said, "They have produced the first holy qualifiers in ancient times and the rewards must be much thicker than others."

"Oh, this is the truth, but I'm afraid we have the chance to get it, but we have no chance to spend it." The official sent to the land fox also said with a bitter face: "Who doesn't know that they offended the Xiahou clan so badly. We're going to Baba to announce the good news. Who knows if the Xiahou clan people will be dealt with tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, don't treat yourself as a dish." The Minister of Rites sneered: "What is his identity? Will he be the general knowledge of running errands with you? It's just that he doesn't have a good face for you, or he is not qualified to serve as a punching bag for others."

"Oh, okay..." After Shangguan's urging, three teams were slowly leaving the door.

.

The officials who went to Cuijiao had no such trouble. The results of Cuijiao's competition were very gratifying. Cui Baiyu was named the top and became one of the three second-ranks. The other three also got ideal rankings. The officials in the store naturally received a lot of rewards for the officials who reported the good news, and asked the manager to take them to drink without mentioning them.

In the house of Cui Ying in Shengpingfang.

The sound of firecrackers outside kept crackling, but Su Yingxiu was not infected by the joyful atmosphere outside at all. She sat on the couch with a indifferent expression and listened to Mrs. Cui's latest news.

"Just just received a secret report from Taiping City, Daozong is about to come out of seclusion. This time, he will probably go south as soon as possible."

"Oh, it's so troublesome now." Su Yingxiu said with a grief: "I thought my master would not leave the seclusion for less than a year or two. If he was asked to return to the capital in a short time, my plan would probably be ruined."

"Daozong is afraid that he is concerned about the situation in Beijing, so he came out of seclusion early." Mrs. Cui also said with a worried look on her face: "If he knew about the marriage between the Saint and Lu Yun, Thunder would be furious." After a pause, she seemed to have made a great determination and gritted her teeth and said, "It's really not possible. Let Ning'er marry Lu Yun, so the Saint should not be mixed."

"How can that be done?" Su Yingxiu raised her eyebrows and refused without thinking: "It's up to my plan, what's the use of Ning'er?"

"Will the saint really marry him? Daozong won't allow it." Mrs. Cui said heartily. She didn't know that Sun Yuanlang had seen something different in Lu Yun's martial arts. This time she returned to Luodu, she would definitely try to explore Lu Yun's bottom. If he knew that Lu Yun was practicing the Emperor's Cave Xuan Gong, the things that the saint covered for him would be exposed, and she would not even think about using Lu Yun to achieve her own plot.

"Forget it, the soldiers come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil comes and cover it." Su Yingxiu thought about it and wanted to fool Sun Yuanlang, who was a clever plan, was almost impossible to complete. She could only take one step first...

While he was worried, the little maid ran in excitedly and yelled at Su Yingxiu with a smile: "The imperial list has come out. The lady's sweetheart is indeed extraordinary. She is the best grade that is unprecedented!"

"What's so fuss about this?" Su Yingxiu said as if he was taken for granted: "I sacrificed such a big deal to help him. If I can't get a holy product, I'm not worthy of being my pawn."

"Miss will speak up." The little maid curled her lips, not believing Su Yingxiu's words at all. She stayed by the saint all day long, and said that it was clear to the bystanders, and some things were even more clear than Su Yingxiu himself.

"Okay, okay, stop chatting, haven't you seen the saint annoyed?" Mrs. Cui glared at the little maid, and suddenly made a gesture of silence, telling her not to speak nonsense.

The little maid quickly stopped obediently. After a while, she heard a maid outside the door: "Madam, there is a girl who claims to be a celestial girl. I want to see the lady by name..."

"Goddess?" Mrs. Cui was frightened when she heard these two words. She didn't care that the maid was still outside. She lowered her voice and said to Su Yingxiu, "Isn't it exposed?"

"Don't panic." Su Yingxiu also looked tighter, but then calmed down and said, "Let's see."

.

In the flower hall of Cui's house, the girl was wearing a white dress and carrying a sword. Her long hair was like a waterfall, and her pink was not worn. She stood there quietly and leisurely, but she looked like a white plum blossom blooming proudly, which made people dare not look at her.

But she was not troubled by her peerless face and cold temperament that she could not enter. Her pure and peaceful eyes fell on the hanging scroll in the middle hall, and she began to appreciate it wholeheartedly.

It was a genuine landscape painting by Bao Puzi, with Ge Hong's handwritten poems on it.

‘If orchids lean on high places, the wind will cool down. The rivers and forests will be sent far away, and the sun and the moon will be together for a long time.

When will you be able to build a mountain to build a mountain?

The celestial girl was involuntarily attracted by the mountains and rivers in the painting and the floating and ecstatic meaning between the lines. For a moment, she almost forgot what she had come from.

It was not until the sound of light footsteps that she slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Cui Ning'er who was coming slowly with the help of the maid.

"I didn't expect that it was really a great visit to the celestial girl." Cui Ning'er bowed to the celestial girl softly and said with surprise: "I just heard from the servants' reports, and I thought someone was pretending to be."

The celestial girl did not answer, and only used the sword-hearted eyes that could see through all the ghosts to lock Cui Ning'er firmly.

Cui Ning'er immediately felt like a shaved lamb, with no secrets on her body, and could only look at the goddess innocently with her pitiful and weak and helpless eyes.

"Why are you so rude? My lady is talking to you!" The little maid on the side stopped doing it and stared at the goddess and scolded her.
