Chapter 223 Food Issues
"In that case, I will leave first." Bai Susu put down the teacup in her hand, and left with the mountain language, leaving the two adults looking at each other.

The Lord of the Ministry of Industry turned his head to look at Tang Jianshan, his tone hesitant, "Why do I always feel that there will be a big turmoil in the court after the end of this spring?"

"Those who can stand out this year must be much better than before." Tang Jianshan looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but did not respond to the second half of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. ,

This year is more than a big turmoil, I am afraid it will be a big change of blood.

Bai Susu didn't know the shock in the hearts of the two people behind her, but walked to the kitchen on the first floor of the pastry shop, took purple potatoes and yams, and taught one of the cooks a new pastry.

After teaching her these things, she leisurely returned to the palace with Shan Yu.

The affairs of Chunwei continued smoothly, while Bai Susu kept going out of the palace every two or three days.With the passage of time, I met more and more students who came to rush for the exam in Jiandu City.

On the day of Chunwei's exam, Bai Susu and Zhou Ximing went out of the palace in modest clothes and went to the teahouse where most students gathered.

As soon as I got inside, I saw three or five students holding book boxes and talking with each other there, and there were many of them who appeared.These students are all Gong students, and it feels like gathering all the top students in one room.

Walking to a corner where no one was sitting, they ordered a pot of tea. While drinking tea, the two of them listened to the conversation of people not far away.

"I heard that this year's questions are particularly difficult, and even Bai Xiaosheng can't explain why."

"I've also heard that in previous years, Bai Xiaosheng would write difficult or easy on the fan, but this year he brought an empty fan."

Bai Xiaosheng?
Bai Susu looked curiously at the three or four students sitting opposite, and said in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, I wonder if the Bai Xiaosheng you are talking about is a person?"

"Bai Xiaosheng is extremely mysterious, and no one knows who he is." The scholar replied, "It's just that every time during the Spring Festival, he will put a fan in the teahouse here, and it will say whether this year's exam questions are difficult or easy. "

The scholar raised his finger to the blank fan hanging on the second floor, with melancholy, "This year, there is no fan, and I don't know how difficult it is."

"I think he also told you." Bai Susu looked at the scholar with a smile, "Since it is blank, does that mean that it is easy for some people, but rare for others? .”

"Impossible." The scholar shook his head without thinking, "There are rules to follow in the topic, how could there be such a topic."

Seeing that the scholar didn't believe it, Bai Susu didn't say anything, turned around and went back to drink tea.She took a sip and her eyes lit up, "Why is this tea better than just now?"

"I changed a pot." Zhou Ximing poured another cup for Bai Susu, "The tea here is brought from home, it is this year's spring tea."

It is really rare to be able to drink spring tea nowadays.Bai Susu also took out two packs of pastries wrapped in greased paper from her cuff, and put them in front of Zhou Ximing, "I made it this morning, try it quickly."

Bai Susu brought sweet red bean cakes and bitter tea powder snacks.

"This red bean cake is best served with tea, and this tea powder snack tastes better on its own." Zhou Ximing ate some of both and commented aloud.

"Naturally." Bai Susu nodded, "This tea powder snack is made of tea, and if it is paired with tea, it will be more bitter."

The scholars at the side heard their whispered conversations, seeing that they were all insignificant things, they withdrew their attention again, and started pressing this year's questions with a few other students.

According to the understanding of the topic of Chunwei in previous years, these people today have begun to express their opinions and have their own reasons.Bai Susu sat there, drinking tea and eating snacks, listening with gusto.

"Unfortunately, none of them got involved." Bai Susu approached Zhou Ximing and whispered in his ear.

"Speaking of which, I have done those three questions for Jingyun." Zhou Ximing took a sip of tea calmly, and smiled lightly at Bai Susu's shocked expression, "It's not bad."

"I said why Bai Jingyun has been pestering me to ask questions these days." Bai Susu looked at Zhou Ximing helplessly, "It turns out that you did this behind your back."

"I just want to see his opinion." Zhou Ximing held Bai Susu's hand, "Do you have any plans to let him enter the court as an official?"

"It all depends on what Jingyun thinks." Bai Susu didn't insist on these things, "It depends on what he likes."

Seeing her answer like this, Zhou Ximing didn't ask this again.

"I wonder if we can make a table together?" A young man stood there with a bookcase on his back, smiling.

"Sit down." Zhou Ximing gave him a seat, and looked at the young man calmly, "The clothes of other students are spotless, why is there a lot of dust on your clothes?"

"I rushed into the capital overnight, and came here before I had time to change my clothes." The young man took out two pieces of cake from his arms, and began to gnaw on them, "I haven't even eaten the rice yet."

"It stands to reason that there should be news after the Chinese New Year to participate in Chunwei. Why did you choose to come so late?" Seeing that he was choking from eating, Bai Susu poured him a cup of tea.

"I encountered some things on the road." The young man thanked him, drank a large glass of water, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "I met a few suspicious people on the road, and I followed the road curiously, which made me slow down a little. sky."

"A person with a suspicious whereabouts?" Bai Susu became interested, and she asked curiously, "Did you find anything?"

"Those people have been secretly buying food." The young man whispered, "I heard that they sold out the food in several cities, and let those who have no food go to the Baijia store in the capital to buy."

Hearing these words, the smile on Bai Susu's mouth gradually disappeared, her hands clenched into fists, her brows furrowed fiercely, "Do you know who those are?"

"It sounds like someone from the frontier fortress, probably from the Eagle clan." The young man whispered, "I don't know what I want to do."

There is not enough food in the Central Plains, so the Eagle Clan, which relies entirely on food from the Central Plains, is naturally having a hard time.It's just that Bai Susu didn't expect that these people would use a compromise method to buy these grains.

"Where did they buy the food?" Zhou Ximing looked at the young man with a low voice.

"There is a special group of people responsible for the delivery, and I won't arrive wherever I send it." The young man ate the last mouthful of pancakes and took another sip of warm tea, "I was almost discovered by them at that time, so I ran away. "

If the Eagle Clan bought these grains openly, Bai Susu would have no worries.
