I want to make progress

Now all her industries are based in the capital. Not only has she made a lot of money, but she has also established an information network. She was the first to know who the young lady was paying attention to.

So Shu Yunfu had never seen Su Huai before, but An Nan had already remembered his appearance clearly. Today, in such an important occasion as the Jiuchonglou, she recognized Su Huai at a glance.

"This is a man with a strong will despite his disability. It seems that the Su family is really eager to recruit talented people. This ambition is written on his face."

With a sneer, Shu Yunfu sipped her tea without even looking at him, but her vigilance reached its peak. This Su Huai was definitely not simple!

It's no wonder that she underestimated her enemy. She had never seen Su Huai before, nor had she ever met him. The only thing she knew about him was through rumors from outsiders and the beautiful Su.

She had experienced the methods of Lady Su, which were cruel and calculating, but Su Huai only taught him a lesson through Gu Changting and broke one of his legs, and later designed to throw Meng Nianjiao's troubles to him.

I thought these two lessons were enough to get him into a lot of trouble, but even though he had a broken leg and couldn't move around easily, he didn't feel embarrassed or ashamed at all. He walked out in such occasions with confidence and didn't care about other people's eyes.

What surprised her even more was that after he took over Meng Nianjiao's mess, Meng Nianjiao and Tang Honghui became reconciled as before.

If someone else had taken on this hot potato, he would have probably gone bald, but in this person's hands, it was over so quickly, and ended with a satisfactory outcome for all parties.

She would never believe that Su Huai had no hand in this.

At first, Meng Nianjiao and Tang Honghui were indeed impulsive and angry. Later, when they calmed down, they did regret and wanted to reconcile. However, this matter was too big and too ugly to end easily.

Moreover, Tang Honghui was too miserable and had too much hatred in his heart, so even if he wanted to endure it, he had no way out. If he reconciled easily, regardless of whether Meng Nianjiao believed it or not, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion would not believe it, and outsiders would not believe it either, so the matter was stuck there for a while.

And Su Huai must have done something to facilitate the reconciliation between the two.

No matter what he did, it made her realize that Su Huai was a powerful character.

Compared with his father who holds a high position, and compared with his sister Concubine Su who entered the palace as a concubine and could still hold Gu Changheng captive, Su Huai seems to have less presence.

But at this moment, looking at the man sitting in the wheelchair, smiling as if in the spring breeze, and looking so elegant when facing anyone, she felt that Su Huai was the most powerful one in the Su family.

It seems that I must keep a close eye on the Su family and Su Huai in the future.

It would be so unfair if she hadn't worked so hard to bring down the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, only to be killed by the Su family afterwards!

Without making people wait too long, the poetry reading began soon as it was estimated that all those who were supposed to come had arrived. The platform that used to be used for storytellers and singers became a stage for these students to showcase themselves.

Standing on this stage, under the watchful eyes of the public, these students fully displayed their talents and ambitions. They were full of vigor and enthusiasm, and they were full of energy and determination.

Seeing how passionate and enthusiastic they were, they gradually infected the people around them and the atmosphere became hotter.

It turns out that the brains and pens of scholars are in no way inferior to the weapons in the hands of warriors!

One thing must be admitted, these students are really amazing. Although she is not good at poetry appreciation and Ming Dynasty policy essays, and she only has a vague understanding of them, she can still appreciate them. After all, she has experienced nine years of compulsory education and is a real 911 graduate.

Listening to those students quoting from classics and speaking eloquently, she also felt that these students were very impressive. Of course, the most impressive ones were the three people that everyone focused on, and they were also the three people competing for the top spot in this autumn's imperial examination.

One of these three people was born into an official family. He was Fu Yunhan, the second son of the famous Fu Taifu in the capital. He was smart since childhood. He could read at the age of one, recite poems at the age of three, and write articles that were praised by teachers at the age of five. It is said that in the Fu family, sometimes even Fu Taifu had to listen to him. He is indeed a young talent.

However, he was not on the list of people who were being wooed for this poetry gathering. No one thought of winning over Fu Yunhan, because he was not only the second son of Fu Taifu, but also the younger brother of Concubine Rou in the palace, so he naturally took sides.

Of the remaining two, one was from a merchant family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other was a poor student from the north. One of them was cautious, while the other was devoted to studying for the imperial examinations. They were perfect candidates to be won over.

Of course, these three are the best, and there are other equally talented and capable students who are also targets for recruitment.

After ten years of hard study, one can finally take the imperial examination, all for the purpose of jumping class, changing one's destiny and becoming a superior person. In the final analysis, it all comes down to the word "interest".

Moreover, passing the imperial examination does not mean success. To work in officialdom is just the beginning.

Many years later, a few people may be as high-spirited and ambitious as they are now, and embark on a smooth career, but more people will have a bumpy career and be frustrated.

If you don't meet someone who promotes and appreciates you in the officialdom, it will be very difficult to climb up relying on your own talents.

Therefore, they can use this poetry reading to make friends with these important figures whom they would never meet in their dreams, and these students are trying their best to show themselves.

In just such a short period of time, Shu Yunfu had already seen many people on the second floor nodding frequently at the students downstairs, which showed that they had found a good seedling.

Of course, those students also noticed the expressions of the dignitaries upstairs. They were depressed when they saw them shaking their heads, and were ecstatic when they saw them satisfied.

With one hand on his chin, he stared at the students downstairs with his brown eyes, reflecting their joys and sorrows. He suddenly felt unhappy and sighed, "Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor!"

"I'm going to go outside to get some fresh air. You guys just watch. If you find anything unusual, let me know when I come back."

It made people feel irritated and they didn't want to look at it anymore. Shu Yunfu stood up and was about to leave. The literary atmosphere was gone and this place had completely turned into a place of fame and fortune.

"Miss, where are you going? Let me accompany you."

Yuyan didn't want to watch the fun anymore and quickly followed, but Shu Yunfu shook her head to stop him, "You just stay here and have a good rest. I want to walk around alone. Don't worry, I'm like this now, no one will recognize me when I go out."

At this moment, she missed the modern world more than ever and just wanted to miss it quietly.

Looking at the closed door, Yuyan and Annan looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes, but even if they were worried, they could only stare more carefully at the students below.
