Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Ruitang was really interesting. The lunch was very sumptuous, with wine and meat, and the most rare thing was a five-jin Yellow River carp.

Carp is not uncommon in later generations. There are fish ponds all over the world, and they are fed with mixed feed. Not to mention the rough meat, biting into the mouth is like eating a ball of cotton wool, and there is no umami taste at all.Even worse, the toilet is directly built on the edge of the fish pond. When people go to the toilet, there are schools of fish competing for food below.Once the belly of the fish was broken open, the inside was bright yellow.

Knowing this, Su Mu has not eaten carp for more than ten years.

But there is no such thing as feed fish in the Ming Dynasty, so you can eat it with confidence.

After eating with chopsticks, Su Mu almost bit off his tongue.

He and Su Ruitang sat in the side room eating and drinking, watching Su Qian and others gnawing scallion roll pancakes in their dirty bodies, felt very happy.

The wine was hot, so Su Ruitang asked: "Brother, if you really recognize me as an elder brother, teach me a way as soon as possible. No matter what, you have to deal with that bastard Su Ruitang."

He was already a little drunk, and when he mentioned Su Ruisheng, his face was full of resentment, which showed that he was almost insane after being held back in Su's house all these years.

Su Mu sneered in his heart: third uncle, third uncle, you don't want family affection, how harsh are you to me.This time, I also want to let you taste the feeling of fratricide in the family.In order to complain, I, Su Mu, can't do it.When you report your complaints directly, you are a real man.

He said in a low voice: "Ruitang, let me tell you a secret. Su Ruisheng failed the exam this time. He will definitely not be selected as a scholar. This is your good chance."

Su Ruitang looked happy, and shook his head again: "It doesn't matter if Ruisheng is selected as a scholar. No one can say for sure about the imperial examination. The big deal is to take the exam next year. Besides, this is not a good opportunity. Besides, Ruisheng has always been talented. , how can you be sure that he won't hit?"

Su Mu deliberately lied to him, saying: "I also took the entrance examination, all the candidates will discuss it as usual after they come out, and check the answers. According to the candidates who are familiar with him, it seems that Su Ruisheng didn't do very well in the questions. Actually, as you said, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pass the exam. At worst, you will come next year. However, Su Ruisheng has caused such a big loss to the family, probably more than 1000 taels of silver. I have ghosts in my heart, and I am very afraid of my third uncle. When the third uncle asked him how he did in the exam, Su Ruisheng casually said that he passed the exam. But he didn't want the third uncle to think he was bad, thinking that Su Ruisheng said that he did a good job in the exam, and he must pass. At that time, if he didn't pass, I'm afraid he It's not going to be a good day."

Su Ruitang listened carefully, and slowly straightened up: "Is this true?"

Su Mu went on to say: "Even if the third uncle knows that Su Rui's voice is wrong and gets angry in his heart, I'm afraid he won't do anything to him. At most, family law is not enough to defeat him. Maybe we can add fire. "

He took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Third Uncle is a very face-saving person. If Ruisheng said he wants to win, only the family will know. Why don't we send people to spread the word everywhere, saying that Su Ruisheng did very well in the exam, and he will definitely be selected as a scholar , preferably in his name. At that time, if we fail, our Su family’s big talk has already come to the fore, and third uncle’s face will be lost. In my heart, I am afraid that I will give up on this high-profile, complacent and crazy son. .”

Su Ruitang lifted his spirits, and shouted: "This plan is very good, otherwise, I would send people out to spread rumors, saying that Su Ruisheng said that this academy exam must pass the exam, so it is best to make it known to everyone. "

Su Mu smiled: "I didn't say anything, this was Rui Tang's own idea."

However, Su Ruitang was discouraged again: "If Su Ruisheng is really hit, he still has a bit of talent."

"If you win, there is no loss to you. If you don't succeed this time, you can find a way later." Su Mu spread his hands: "Then what are you worried about?"

"That's right." Su Ruitang stood up happily, and cupped his hands at Su Mu: "Thank you brother for your guidance."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

In the next few days, Su Mu lived comfortably.

Although he couldn't go out of the house, he slept until the sun was up every day, so he picked up a book and walked leisurely to the ancestral hall.

A worker has already brewed the tea and served it carefully.

After reading a few pages and writing a new chapter of "Journey to the West" with one or two thousand words, it was time for lunch.As usual, it was big fish and big meat, and it was okay in the first few days, but after four or five days of eating like this, Su Mu couldn't stand it, and suddenly missed Xiaodie's scrambled eggs with leeks, and her dumplings stuffed with cabbage.

After drinking and eating, it is natural to take a nap.

When I woke up, I chatted with the workers when I was happy.

Otherwise, continue reading.

Eating, sleeping, and reading, I feel that I have never been so leisurely after traveling to the Ming Dynasty.

"This is life!"

……

Su Ruitang would come over twice a day, in addition to directing other people to work, just to discuss with Su Mu.

In the past few days, Su Ruitang spread rumors everywhere.

Soon the news that the young master of the third bedroom of the Su family had been confirmed as a scholar spread in Baoding City.

Someone said: Mr. Su Ruisheng said that the children of other aristocratic families in this subject all made the wrong questions, and they probably couldn't get good grades in the exam, so he just gave him a chance.

Another person said: Su Ruisheng said that although his reputation is not great, in terms of real talent and learning, he has already left his peers two blocks behind.

An even more outrageous rumor is: Su Ruisheng also said that in the future, if there are students who will hold a questioning meeting or a high-level meeting with wine, if he is not invited to go, it will not be worthy of the name.

No need to ask, in this way, almost all Baoding people firmly remembered the name of Su Ruisheng, a young talent.

Of course, the premise is that he must be a scholar.If he doesn't hit the mark, just based on his crazy words, a crazy comment is indispensable.

The ancients, or the Chinese are used to judging heroes by success or failure.

You have said so many big words, if you win, it is the style of a celebrity; if you fail, it is madness.

Anyway, Su Ruisheng was roasted on the fire this time.

"The list will be released the day after tomorrow." Su Mu said, "Ruitang, why not make things bigger, invite a theater troupe back, and set up a colorful shed at the gate to celebrate Su Ruisheng in advance."

Su Mu continued to give Su Ruitang bad ideas: "It doesn't cost much, and besides, you have nothing to lose. If Su Rui's voice is heard, everyone in the family will be honored, and the third uncle may praise you for being able to do things, and you will He won the favor. If he doesn't win, Su Ruisheng's face will be slapped hard, let's see how he can hold his head up in front of others in the future."

"Okay, great idea!" Su Ruitang applauded.

"Wait, you have to ask Su Ruisheng's mother Xie Niang about this first, and she said that Su Ruisheng will definitely win. It's a big happy event for our Su family, and we have to celebrate it. But when it comes to that time, I'm afraid it's too late to make arrangements. It still needs to be done. In advance. And you are willing to spend your own money to buy it." Su Mu induced Su Ruitang: "Women, with long hair and short knowledge, and like to take advantage of petty advantages, will definitely agree. At that time, even if the third uncle doesn't want to be so low-key, I'm afraid Xie Niang won't like it either."

Su Ruitang laughed loudly: "That's the truth, that woman is an idiot. But..."

Su Ruitang sighed: "I'm afraid Ruisheng is really hit. Am I making a name for him instead?"

Su Mu smiled, but didn't speak.

I also thought in my heart, counting the days, all the examination papers have been reviewed, can I get the first place?

Yes, for sure!

I will definitely be the first!
