Chapter 779: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 40
Miaomiao, who was leaving, naturally had no idea that she was now regarded as someone who should not be messed with in the town.
She just inexplicably felt that after she beat the scholar half to death, the people in the town seemed to respect her more, but she didn't beat anyone casually.
She had no impression of others, but she did remember that scholar. He was that scholar in her previous life. He had a lover before the original owner got married. He wanted to plot against the original owner, but was seen through by the original owner.
It turned out that he was the one who had been with her all her life, so she definitely couldn't let him go. As for what he had suffered later, Miaomiao didn't know. She just beat him up with a mask on.
As for the others, Miaomiao was also confused. They had clearly made defensive preparations, but those people backed down. The people in the town began to spread more and more weird rumors.
Maybe her younger brother was also involved in this?
Miaomiao felt that Xiao Yunzhou had a bit of possessiveness towards her like a family member.
Perhaps it was because her parents and brothers left too suddenly, Xiao Yunzhou attached great importance to her, a relative who had just started her career lately. Just like the night when the scholar came to propose marriage, she returned home dressed in black, only to see Xiao Yunzhou sitting on the bluestone slab at the door of her room.
I don’t know how long they sat there. I only remember that his body was cold. He just held her in his arms without saying a word, but Miaomiao felt that she understood his fear and anxiety.
Therefore, she knew in her heart that perhaps when he stood in the court in the future, had more close friends, or even did more meaningful things, he would slowly let go of his sister whom she met on the road of revenge, and then she would be able to freely find a suitable son-in-law.
That's right, Miaomiao has already made up her mind to find a son-in-law with fair skin, handsome face and long legs, preferably one who is obedient, well-behaved and gentle. She will just take care of him and give birth to a son or daughter, which will be considered a mission accomplished.
But, it must be after the age of 18. Before the age of 18, this script cannot be started. If it is judged to be against public order and good morals, it will really be a loss.
While Miaomiao was out, the secret guards recorded everything that happened one by one, and before Miaomiao returned home, they reported everything that happened directly to Xiao Yunzhou.
Even the third prince Zhao Jiayu, who was far away in the court, knew that Xiao Yunzhou seemed like a different person. The cold and aloof young man turned into a ruthless and possessive man when facing his nominal sister.
Whether it was a scholar leaving his hometown, or the young master of a silk shop breaking his hand for no apparent reason, he personally took care of it...
He didn't tell his nominal sister at all, and just kept it in his mouth, afraid that it would melt and stick to her, tsk...
Look at his eldest brother again. He claimed to have fallen in love with the Crown Princess at first sight and was known for following Taizu's example of being together for life. But as soon as the Gao family got into trouble, he immediately married a concubine.
The comparison between the two is even more ironic.
It has been more than a year since he encountered the assassination arranged by the prince and met Xiao Yunzhou by chance.
Things turned out just as Yunzhou said. His father did not conduct a thorough investigation, but simply arrested a few people who seemed to be suspected and executed them.
As for his brother, the Crown Prince, nothing happened to him. He was just neglected for a few months.
But at the same time, he also felt the guilt of his father, especially when he came up with a plan to control the river floods. His father's attention to him increased sharply, and this matter was naturally handed over to him to supervise.
It took more than a year, and not only was the flood in the river quelled, but the breached river channel was also stabilized. When the victims in the thirty counties downstream held the newly received corn and expressed their gratitude, the emperor finally smiled again.
It was at this time that Zhao Jiayu seized the opportunity and made a solemn proposal in the court.
"Father, the river project has just been completed. It is the time to recruit talented people. I earnestly request that you hold a special examination."
He started the rebellion too late. Most of the ministers were either neutral or had become the prince's party. He could get very little help from these people. It would be better for him to focus on future ministers.
Just as Yunzhou said, this special examination was to recruit a group of talents for him and to pave the way for his brothers.
On the night that His Majesty approved, Zhao Jiayu could not wait to send a letter by carrier pigeon to Ping'an Town. In addition to the good news of Enke, there was also a mark specially drawn on the letter. It was a code word agreed upon by the two people before, which meant that everything would go well.
Eight days later, the morning mist in Ping'an Town had not yet dissipated, and the town's academy had sent someone to inform the Ling family courtyard of the good news.
"Sister, we're going to the capital. You said before that you would go with me, right?"
Xiao Yunzhou had a smile on his face, looking relieved, but the tension in his eyes was something that even Miaomiao could see.
Miaomiao sighed. Didn't he say he was going to the capital after receiving the secret letter? He even said he would treat her to roast duck. Now he had to ask again.
However, after getting her answer, the nervousness in Xiao Yunzhou's eyes disappeared. Obviously, the exam would not make him nervous, but Miaomiao would not go with him.
Miaomiao sincerely felt that Xiao Yunzhou's thoughts were becoming more and more strange, but she had indeed tried hard to correct him over the years, but the effect was minimal. Perhaps that was because she had not succeeded in her revenge?
But Miaomiao also knew that she was now witnessing the promotion of a powerful official.
It was also a witness to how this plane before my eyes had gone from ruin to prosperity, led by this man before me. However, he was still a sensitive teenager...
According to the rules, the imperial examination for the special examination was usually held in the Imperial Examination Hall in the capital.
According to Xiao Yunzhou, it was a huge building complex covering several hundred acres, and there would be densely packed examination halls set up in the future.
Therefore, the capital city will be able to accommodate many candidates by then. Fortunately, no matter whether it is the house that the third prince has prepared in advance or the house that Xiao Yunzhou has purchased in the capital city through the identity of a secret guard or even Miaomiao, they will not be without a place to live.
As the carriage slowly drove out of Ping'an Town, Miaomiao opened the curtains and looked at the town that was gradually moving away. Somehow, she always felt that after leaving this time, she might never come back.
Xiao Yunzhou, looking at Miaomiao's back, his eyes full of determination.
He understood that this was not just about asking Miaomiao to accompany him to take the imperial examination, but also the first step in him truly building an iron wall for Miaomiao...
