Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Hearing Xiaodie's shout, the Wu family's father and daughter immediately stood up, a lady from a great family and a frail old scholar all rushed out of the small courtyard with unexpected agility.

Although Su Mu reacted extremely quickly, he was still one step late.

When he was afraid of going out of the small courtyard, he saw that the yard was in a mess, and a group of servants from the Long family had already surrounded Xiaodie, yelling loudly: "What's going on, tell me quickly, my son! Did you hit it?"

"You maidservant, you're not lying, are you? Our people have also gone out to read the rankings, why did you come to the front instead?"

"Yes, yes, this servant girl is here to make trouble!"

In the chaos, the dragon was still playing the guqin unhurriedly, seemingly not paying attention.

Surrounded by so many people, Xiaodie was furious, and pushed away the servant of the Long family in front: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Probably because she walked in a hurry, the little girl's chest heaved violently.

"Xiaodie, what's going on?" Miss Wu hurriedly walked over, stretched out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead: "Seeing that you are hot, don't worry, speak slowly."

"Master, the list is indeed released." Xiaodie panted, "When I was going out just now, I saw a few scholars running in the direction of the North Zhili Governor's Yamen in a car, followed by a few people who were walking. Scholars, they seemed to be in a hurry. One of the scholars was probably in poor health, so he hired a porter to carry it. Feeling anxious, Xiaodie stopped the scholar and asked what was going on... ..."

"You actually blocked people in the street?" Su Mu couldn't help laughing.

He found that the sound of Long Zai's piano had stopped, and he probably eavesdropped with his ears pricked up.

Xiaodie nodded, with an aggrieved expression on her face, and said: "That scholar is really disgusting, he keeps scolding his mother, saying he is bold... the ranking has already been released, my son must be selected for the examination, can you afford to delay?"

The word "bold" is probably followed by the word "slut". Xiaodie's face turned red with anger: "It's fine if he doesn't say it's published, but once he says it, I can't let it go. I'll hold him to death. That scholar I have no choice but to say that I just got the news at the inn that the notice from the governor’s yamen has finally been posted, and I’m about to rush over to have a look.”

"So that's it, then, have you gone to the yamen to see it..." It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the list of candidates for this round of the provincial examination finally came out, which was much later than previous rounds.

To be honest, Su Mu was also a little impatient for waiting, and for some reason, his heart beat non-stop.The sentence "I've won" in my heart is hard to say, for fear of getting the bad news of my failure from Sunshan from Xiaodie.

"Yes, can you go to the Yamen to read the announcement?" Ms. Wu also turned pale and asked anxiously.

But these words were instantly overwhelmed by the loud reprimands of the servants of the Long family: "Say it quickly, you poor servant girl, can you see my young master's name?"

"My young master must have won, tell me quickly, what number is it?"

"That is, if my young master doesn't win, it's possible that an idiot like Su Mu can win. Tell me quickly, if you get the ranking, if I am happy, I might reward you with a few big boys."

This group of people spoke harshly, and Su Mu was also angry, and shouted: "Didn't you send someone to look at it yourself? There will be news at that time, so why ask? Facing a little girl with such a bad mouth, Are you interested too?",

Several servants of the Long family began to scold again: "Su Mu, don't look at you as a scholar and scholar, we respect you three points. When my son wins the Juren, what are you?"

"Su Mu, you cheated on food and drink at our house before. Our young master helped everyone for the sake of reading. He is a famous person, so naturally he would not be as knowledgeable as a liar like you. But I can't stand it. Later, if you are blamed by the young master, I will drive you out."

This sentence refers to Sang scolding Huai, the speaker has no intention, but it sounds intentional, Wu Ju was so angry that his lips trembled: "I don't want to be a son, I don't want to be a son, I really think that this old man is a street thug playing tricks on you. Mingqing, if your father hadn't forced you to stay , the hospitality is hard to turn down, I have already returned to my hometown in Hejian Mansion."

Long Zai didn't speak, but there was a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Miss Wu hurriedly supported the old Juren: "Father, don't be angry."

Xiaodie yelled: "Everyone is quiet, why should I tell you that Long Zai won? Since you want to ask, I will tell you that your son Long lost his name and lost his name to Sun Shan. Are you satisfied now?"

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Then there was a burst of laughter: "A yellow-haired girl who knows what a fart, will my son miss it? Absurd, absurd!"

Wu Juren finally calmed down under the comfort of his daughter, and then he coughed and asked, "Xiaodie, tell the truth, did you go to see the list, and what was the result?"

Su Mu and Long turned their heads to Xiaodie at the same time, their eyes met in the air, and then quickly moved away.

Xiaodie: "Responding to Master Wu's words, Xiaodie can't read the characters, so what kind of list should I go to see? I heard that the scholar said that the list of the governor's yamen has come out, and I was anxious, and ran back to report the letter without thinking about other things. Now that my young master has failed, the devil will know."

Hearing what he said, Su Mu remembered this, and couldn't help laughing bitterly: I forgot that Xiaodie is illiterate, so how could it be possible to read the list.Concern is chaotic, just now my heart was beating really hard.This feeling is more nervous than when I went to check the college entrance examination scores back then!

And inadvertently glanced at Long Zai from the corner of his eye, he also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"You can't read, what are you talking about? My son Long is named Luosun Shan, you hateful bitch!"

"This kind of bitch should be blasted out of here!"

Now, several evil slaves of the Long family rolled up their sleeves and kept cursing.

Wu Ju was so angry that he trembled all over, and shouted: "Long Zai, your servants are so rude, your Long family's style has been ruined!"

After all, it was the same year as his father, Long Zai snorted: "Don't make trouble, by the way, who is going to see the list?"

A servant of the Long family put his face closer in a fawning manner: "If you go back to the young master, it's Duan San and Lu Si who went there."

"Duan San and Lu Si, these two people's footsteps are rather fast, why haven't they come back?" Although Long looked very calm on the surface, his heart was burning like a fire.

Even if I have strong confidence in the essays I wrote in the examination room, who can say what will happen in the imperial examination room, if...

What Xiaodie said just now made his heart skip a beat, even though he knew that what she said was just angry words, the trace of uneasiness in his heart became more and more clear.

Maybe it was because there were too many people in front of the Governor's Mansion Yamen, or maybe it was because of other things that delayed the period of San He Lu Si, so it's better to send another person to have a look.

Thinking of this, Long Zai couldn't hold back anymore: "Go and have a look too, hurry up."

"Okay, little man will go now." The servant responded, and ran out in a puff of smoke.

In the yard, the servants of the Long family were still shouting and cursing.

Xiaodie's face was flushed with anger, Su Mu grabbed her hand: "Xiaodie, don't be as knowledgeable as these shameless villains, if a dog bites you, why don't you bite back? Go into the house and wait, from the yamen There is still a long way to go here, even if you want news, it won’t come in a while.”

Hearing what Su Mu said, Wu Juren laughed: "Well said, if a dog bites you, why does it bite back? Haha, the style of the Long family is getting worse and worse. Just go back and wait."

After laughing, he led his daughter back to the small courtyard.

Long Zai was so angry at Wu Juren's words that his face flickered green, but he was his father after all, so he could only bear it by himself.

Wu Juren couldn't see the wind and the light. After staying outside for so long, there were red bumps on his neck, face and back of his hands, which were very itchy.

Seeing him like this, Miss Wu was so shocked that her face turned pale.

After all, Xiaodie was more knowledgeable than Miss Wu who didn't leave the door and said: "Sister, don't worry, Master Wu has a welt, it's not a disease, just wipe it with hot water. "

"Really, then... I'm going to boil the water."

It was only then that Su Mu suddenly realized that the so-called wheals were actually the lack of certain trace elements in the body, and one would be allergic to the wind, and the disease could be cured, as long as he kept warm and adjusted his diet on weekdays.

Wu Juren has been an otaku in the house for so many years. In addition to psychological reasons, allergies are also an important factor.

After boiling water, wiped his face with a hot towel, and sat in the room for a long time, the red envelopes on the old man's face finally disappeared.

The dawn and darkness in Beijing are early and early, especially at the end of autumn, the sky gets dark in a short while, and the light in the house is not good, so I can't see clearly.

As soon as Ms. Wu lit a tung oil lamp, she heard shouts from outside: "Young master, young master, great joy, great joy!"

The one who shouted was the servant that Long sent out earlier.

"Crack!" A little lantern fell into Miss Wu's hands.

Su Mu sighed in his heart: Long Zai was still hit, no surprise, but what about me?

As for my own rural examination, because there is no way to cheat, I have to take the test based on my real ability.It can be placed among more than 2000 candidates, but it is only at the upper-middle level.There is only an [-]% certainty of winning the exam, and the [-]% probability seems to be high.

But if you fail, the remaining two achievements will become complete failures.

Suddenly, he was a little out of breath.

"Zi Qiao..." Miss Wu heard Su Mu's heavy breathing, worried in her heart, and couldn't help calling out to him regardless of her father and Xiaodie being in front of her.

Wu Juren snorted, and shouted to Su Mu: "Long Zai is the son of an old man, but I know his articles well, and it's not surprising if he wins. He hits his, and you hit yours. What are you worried about, you are worthless, it is in vain that I value you so much!"

Strange to say, after being scolded by Mr. Wu, Su Mu calmed down: "Go, go out and have a look!"

Wu Juren: "We will go too."

"Daddy, your body."

When Wu Juren heard his daughter talk about his body, he felt a little afraid.But after thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth, picked up a dry cotton towel, wrapped it around his neck and walked out steadily.
