Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"This Hu Shun is really lucky. He was promoted after such a big commotion last night?" Liu Jin exclaimed inconceivably.

Su Mu smiled and explained that the monthly fee of this Tianshui Hutong was tens of thousands of taels of silver. It seems that the idea I gave him worked well, and the emperor did not intend to pursue this matter.This time Dongchang fell into such a big tussle at Jin Yiwei's hands, and lost all face. It is estimated that it will be impossible to send someone over to collect money in the future.

Jinyi Hygiene was naturally very happy to get such a large amount of money. No matter what, he should reward Hu Shun, a minister of fame and reputation.

Liu Jin was a participant in what happened last night. As long as the crown prince had fun, he didn't care who was unlucky and who was lucky.

While talking, the two came to the Qianhu House led by Hu Shun.

Hu Shun is a new official who took office today, and he is lecturing, and the ten hundred military officers under him are standing there in order to listen to the lesson.

This time Lao Hu is considered to be holding a lot of power, and he feels quite proud.

Seeing that Su Mu was coming, he stopped talking, brought a big man to meet him, and said with a smile: "Nephew, I reckon you should be here."

"How was the situation last night?" Su Mu couldn't help asking.

When the left and right retreated, and there was no third person in the room, Hu Shuncai said: "Nephew is really a god. I saw the Holy One yesterday. As expected, I don't need to say anything, just cry. As soon as I cry, I cry out." A thousand households in fine clothes."

With an excited expression on his face, he described yesterday's situation with pictures.

Su Mu was angry and funny when he heard it: "Congratulations, congratulations."

"By the way, my nephew is here to see me for something."

"It's okay, just ask where you live now, what's wrong with Hu Ying?"

"Ying'er is at home with her mother to clean up the house. Didn't my house be burned by a dog? It's impossible for them to live on the street. Although, I bought two more sets yesterday. Yes, I forgot one Something." Hu Shun smiled and took out a document and a bunch of keys and stuffed them into Su Mu's arms: "This is for you."

"what?"

Hu Shun laughed even more happily: "This is a big house. It was the property of a minister of the Ministry of Industry in the Zhengtong year. The descendants lost their homes. If there is no money to get it in the pawnshop, I will buy it and give it to you. It is a good place. The garden and the lotus pond are Ying'er's favorites. There are a total of more than 6000 taels of silver. You don't want the silver, so you just buy it. My nephew, don't refuse. The title deed has been changed to your name. You Even if we don’t continue, the place’s name is Su.”

Hey, boy Su Mu, as long as you give me an idea, I will be promoted once.You think tank, this obedient son-in-law, my old Hu, is going to decide.You don't need money, it's easy to handle, I'll just give away the house, the land, and the woman... Bah, women can't give it away, grandma, if Yinger finds out, I won't be able to survive this day!

Su Mu came to ask Hu Jinxue to borrow money this time, but he didn't want to, before he could ask, Hu Shun gave himself a big house, and even changed the title deed to his name, Su Mu.

Su Mu is also helpless, it seems that he will be entangled with Hu Shun for the rest of his life.

I had to shake my head: "Come on, put it away, and leave!"

"Nephew, when will you be free, come to my newly bought house to have a meal and get acquainted, nephew... Su Xian..."

Su Mu has gone a long way.

On the way back, he still took the well-covered carriage that Eunuch Liu had already prepared, and he still entered through the back door.

But it's different from when I went out, there was no one in sight, there were actually two guards standing at the back door.

The two guards, Su Mu, also knew each other, they were Zhu Shou's personal bodyguards, and they were around thirty.They probably attended the big party the night before yesterday. Both of them had shaven faces and looked very funny.

Su Mu didn't think there was anything strange, but Eunuch Liu's expression changed, and he asked, "Why are you two here?"

A guard stepped forward, with a pale face, and whispered: "Liu Ban, something is wrong."

Liu Jin: "What's wrong, I'm in a panic."

"My lord is here."

"What elder is here?" Liu Jin was confused: "There is another ghostly elder here."

The guard didn't answer, but only looked at Su Mu, and kept winking at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin suddenly understood, cold sweat came down his forehead, and he stuttered: "But, can, can, but the elder from the east came to see the young master?" The imperial palace is just to the east of Xiyuan.

The guard nodded: "That's right, the Eldest Master suddenly became interested today and said he wanted to see the Young Master, it's already passed."

"Then..." Liu Jin suddenly remembered that there were Wu Juren, father, daughter and Xiaodie in the prince's yard. If the emperor passed by, he might run into him.

"Liu Ban, don't worry. The old Juren has been hiding in the house since he arrived last night, and he hasn't come out at all. As for Miss Xiaodie and Miss Wu, it doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: That's right, the old man has a strange ailment, and it would be fatal to ask him to go out, and he doesn't like to talk to people, even if there is a prairie fire outside the house, as long as it doesn't burn In front of his old man, the old Juren would not move his nest, so naturally he was not afraid of being seen by the Long Live Lord.As for Miss Wu and Xiaodie, there are many maids in this palace, so they will not attract the emperor's attention.As long as His Majesty is not allowed to see Su Mu.

At this moment, Su Mu waited impatiently by the side: "Old Liu, what's the matter, which master is here, let's go, busy packing things!"

Liu Jin jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Can't pass, can't pass."

"What's the matter, why can't you go there?"

Liu Jin smiled apologetically and said, "Today is also a coincidence, my master came to test the homework of the young master, if you let him see Ziqiao, you are not good."

"What's wrong, I'm an upright person, and I'm upright." Su Mu was unhappy: "Could it be that your master still regards him as a libertine?"

"No, no, Ziqiao misunderstood." Liu Jin bowed and bowed: "The main reason is that my master is not in good health and is very sick. When this person is sick, he has a bad temper and doesn't like everything... Zi Joe, just wait here for a while, and when the master leaves, I'll call you again, okay?"

Su Mu was a little helpless, but Zhu Shou's father was also a member of the royal family, at least he was also a general of the country.I don't know what kind of temper it is, I came to live in someone's house in the middle of the night, and didn't go to see the elders in the early morning, which is already out of courtesy.It would be a little embarrassing for him to see it at this time.

He had no choice but to nod: "Forget it, I'll wait here for a while."

Liu Jin thanked her hurriedly, and took the two guards there in a hurry.

After leaving for a long time, Su Mu didn't come back. Su Mu was okay at first, but gradually became impatient.

He turned his head and looked around again, and suddenly found that the scenery of this place was really good, so he praised in his heart: Although Zhu Shou's family background has fallen, this house is really magnificent, it looks simple and deep, and it is very grand.

Su Mu used to be a person who liked to travel in mountains and rivers. As a history buff, he likes to go to various places of interest to explore ancient times and secluded places.After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, I thought I could enjoy the historical sites of the Ming Dynasty.But at this time, at first glance, they are all brand-new buildings, and they are no different from the antique buildings that have been restored to look like new in later generations.

This turned him off.

This is the first time Su Mu has seen such an ancient and fragrant place like Zhu Shou's house.

I thought to myself, looking at the buildings in this mansion, it must be from the Yuan Dynasty. Standing around is boring, so I might as well stroll around.

Once a thought arises, I can no longer hold back.

He couldn't control that much, so he just wandered around.

It was only when he left that he was taken aback.

I thought that the scale of the Shouning Marquis Mansion I went to last time was already huge, but I didn't expect that Zhu Shou's house was ten times larger than Zhang Heling's Mansion.

Not only that, but the structure of the Zhu Mansion is also very grand.There are mountains, waters, bridges, pavilions, and even forests. It is simply a big park.

The more Su Mu walked, the more startled he became: Impossible, impossible, how could a mustard-like General's Mansion be able to achieve such a great result? Judging by this posture, even the Prince's Mansion is nothing more than that.Who is this kid?

Suddenly, Su Mu inexplicably doubted Zhu Shou's identity.

It's late autumn, and the forest is full of maple trees, ginkgo biloba and vigorous pines.

The maple leaves are red, but the ginkgo is like gold.

The wind blows, and the pieces fall.

After walking for another distance, the eyes suddenly opened up, but in front of them was a lake that was too big to see the edge.

"It turns out that he has already walked out of the Zhu Mansion." Su Mu smiled, standing on the bluestone embankment by the water, looking at the vast waters, suddenly remembered that he is now a Juren.

"Yes, I passed the exam!"

Because too many things happened yesterday, I was so exhausted that I fell asleep after arriving at the Zhu Mansion.Up to now, he hasn't even had time to taste the fruit of his fame.

Up to now, the breeze is blowing, the sleeves are fluttering, and suddenly, another kind of uncontrollable joy rises from my heart.

All the unhappiness and depression will pass, until now, it is considered a bit of fun.

"I'm a Juren, and I, Su Mu, are a Juren, and I will be a Jinshi in the future, man, so be it!" Su Mu shouted "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The howling sound spread across the lake.

"How can there be no wine in this situation, how can there be no poetry?" Su Mu bent down, took a sip of the sweet lake water, then stood up naked and chanted loudly: "Daming Lake, Minghu is big. Great There are lotus flowers in Minghu Lake, and there are toads on the lotus flowers. They poke and jump."

"Haha, haha, good poetry, cough cough!" A violent cough came from behind.

"Who?" Su Mu was startled, turned around to look, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue Taoist robe, whose exact age was just walking out of the woods.

This man was tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, his eyes were sunken deeply into their sockets, and his face was as pale as a dead man.

The beard on the chin has also become yellow and dry.

Probably because Su Mu's doggerel was really funny, the middle-aged man flushed all over his face, and he covered his mouth and couldn't help panting: "'The green hills are still there, and the sunset is red a few times' People say that Su Mu is a master of poetry among the young generation, but you How to make a poem like a dog... It doesn't make any sense, and this is not Daming Lake."

People in the Ming Dynasty liked to wear Taoist robes, but Su Mu didn't think this middle-aged man was a Taoist priest.

Hearing that he knew his name, Su Mu thought that this man was also a scholar, smiled, and cupped his hands and said: "Literati gatherings, high wine gatherings, poems and poems, everyone is trying their best to find chapters and excerpts, trying to make earth-shattering tears." The peerless poems of ghosts and gods, so as not to lose face. But when you are alone, what you pay attention to is leisurely, leisurely, free and easy, so why bother to embarrass yourself. I have seen Mr. Zhu, did Zhu Shou stay with you? ?”

The middle-aged sick man was stunned: "How do you know that my surname is Zhu, and I am Zhu Shou's father?" That's right, this man is the current Emperor Hongzhi. As a father, he naturally knows about the name.

He suddenly missed his son after going to court this morning, so he drove over.On the way, when he heard someone shouting by the lake and claiming to be Su Mu, he frowned: "Why did the prince recruit Su Mu into the palace?"

This is outrageous, if the royal envoys know about it, they don't know what will happen.

Let Yu Jia stop and come over alone to see what happened.

Emperor Hongzhi already knew about Su Mu's talent and learning, and several poems by Su Mu have been circulating in Beijing these days.

When Emperor Hongzhi read it, he couldn't help applauding, and thought: This man is indeed remarkable, and he is already the number one in the country in terms of poetry alone.

Although he admired Su Mu's talent and learning in his heart, entering the palace in white clothes had already broken the court rules, and Emperor Hongzhi was still a little annoyed.

But when he heard Su Mu's doggerel, he burst out laughing, but couldn't bear to blame him.

Su Mu: "Earlier, I heard from your family's Eunuch Liu that the Eldest Master came to see the Young Master, and I heard that you are not in good health. Not everyone can enter this General Zhen Guo's Mansion. Once he sees you, Su Mu will know you He is Zhu Shou's father."

"General Zhen Guo's Mansion?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "By the way, how did you live here?"

From the looks of it, it was not the prince who recruited Su Mu into the palace to mess around.Up to now, Su Mu doesn't even know the identity of the prince, but he regards this place as a clan's house.

"It's a long story, but it's not because I, Su Mu, won Juren."

"Long story short." Hong Zhi was not angry, but rather curious: "What does this have to do with your Zhong Ju?"

Su Mu nodded, and talked about his grievances with Long Zai from beginning to end.

When he heard the section of the Hua Kui Competition at the Zhang Mansion's night banquet, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "I also know about it, and it has been spread throughout the capital. Listening to you today, it's not interesting, you continue to talk about it."

After hearing Su Mu's Zhongju, when the dragon hysterically drove Su Mu and Wu Juren to the street in the middle of the night, Emperor Hongzhi had a trace of anger on his face: "This dragon has read the sage books for so many years in vain, and behaved like this. Really hateful, villain!"

"Of course he is a villain." Su Mu said with a smile: "That's it, I was kicked out, and I was penniless. Fortunately, I met Zhu Shou on the way, so I couldn't shamelessly run to your residence for a night. Su Mu should have come to thank the master, but it is already late at night, so it is not easy to disturb him. I also ask Master Zhu to forgive me!"
