First Madam Xiao rolled her eyes and wanted to kick the person who spoke out. They were all talking harmoniously and gossiping about the few things that happened outside. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Now this person suddenly come out and offend people?
This made First Madam Xiao angry.
Having stayed in this circle for a long time, First Madam Xiao naturally recognized this woman and frowned.
"Second Madam Su, it’s up to them to marry later than usual. If the two families are happy, why are you the one who’s unhappy?" First Madam Xiao wanted to sneer but she pressed down her lips so it only curl up slightly. "Or is it because you’re afraid that your daughter can’t get married since she was already 17 years old."
Second Madam Su’s face flushed and then she glared at First Madam Xiao. "Don’t speak nonsense! There are many people who are courting my daughter!"
Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
Second Madam Su?
To be honest, she really didn’t remember who this person is. Having not stayed in Cheng City for so many years and didn’t really participate in many parties after she came back, Nan Hua didn’t remember many people from Cheng City anymore.
But she felt that she had heard this surname before…
Su Family…
If she was not wrong, they offended the Nan Family many years ago?
Nan Hua was not entirely sure.
"With how your family can’t even be a proper official, the Su Family has long declined," Another woman stepped forward and speak. Apparently, she didn’t like Second Madam Su and looked at the other party with disdain. "Don’t think that I don’t know there are no one who want to propose marriage to the Su Family now."
Second Madam Su took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth. "My husband is not demoted and only evaluated. When the matter is over, he’ll be able to go back to his position."
First Madam Xiao shook her head. "There used to be a lack of officials, which is why your husband can sit firmly. The last Imperial Examination in Cheng City will be held soon, do you think that it’s possible for him to keep his seat."
"Nonsense…"
"You…"
Nan Hua listened to these women making trouble with each other and finally recalled that there would be an Imperial Examination soon.
This would be the last Imperial Examination held in Cheng City because Emperor Yang Zhou planned to settle the matter of Qi Xi Kingdom before Spring next year or at the Spring so that the new year would be his time.
She was not sure about his decision.
Because of this, many scholars decided to take the bet and wanted to participated in this year’s Imperial Examination. The result was that the number far exceeded the room capacity and they were currently trying to prepare more rooms.
For this reason, the examination was held back.
It should have been done in the Autumn but they still have to wait a few more days.
And these officials who passed would be divided into two, part of them would go to the new capital city while the rest would stay in Cheng City and continue to serve Cheng City under Song Chuan.
As for the Su Family…
