Chapter 58 How can others sleep peacefully on the side of the couch?

Fusang made an appointment with Qin Ye, and they met at tea and rice after breakfast. Su Wei took the news sent by You Chun'er, but sat in front of the window early in the morning and went out of her mind.

"It's time for the girl to go out." Mu Jin took the cloak, saw the paper in her hand, and asked again: "What did You Chun'er say?"

Su Luo looked at her: "Second Uncle and the others are also looking for ghost hands."

Mu Jin was really shocked: "How did the second master know?"

Su Wei didn't answer directly, but stared and said: "No wonder Second Uncle suddenly went to the shop that day. So, the reputation spread faster than we expected."

According to her prediction, the Su family wouldn't know so quickly, and even if they knew, they wouldn't be so quick to search for the ghost hand.Because she felt that the Su family should have the confidence of a locksmith family, but this family, which is unparalleled in the eyes of the world, had a great reaction because of a legendary locksmith.

Apart from proving that the Su family is indeed a strong outsider, what else can it be?

It is impossible for the Su family in such a situation to sit back and watch Ghost Hands become famous in the capital.The Su family will definitely try their best to find the ghost hand and try to eliminate the threat posed by the ghost hand.

"This is bad, one side is Mr. Han, and the other side is the Su family, what should we do?" Mu Jin was anxious.

Su Luo folded the paper: "While no one is here, go out and meet Qin Ye first."

Every morning is the quietest time for the Su family. Su Shou and the others went to the yamen, and Su Qi and the others went to the school.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they are at home. The emperors of Daliang for several generations have devoted their energy to governing the world. What they value is improving national strength and strengthening defense. Apart from the extremely strict control over the officials, the rest are not too entangled.Although there are three obediences and four virtues for women, no one regards them as strict dogmas. Women have the freedom to go out to a certain extent.

What's more, in the Su family, Su Shou didn't remember that he still had a daughter. As long as there was no trouble, how could he be willing to spend time caring about what she was doing?
Passing by the front yard, Su Wei happened to meet the third sister-in-law of the Xu family who had gone to offer incense in the temple.After greeting them one by one, they said they were going to the street to pick up the paper kite they had ordered earlier, and then bid farewell to the three of them and boarded the carriage.

The third wife, Chang Shi, looked away from her slender figure and beautiful face, and took this opportunity to look at Xu Shi: "In the blink of an eye, this girl has become an adult. Is your brother still so busy recently? You should also consider your child's marriage. gone."

Mrs. Huang echoed: "Three mediators and six hires will make it down, at least it will take half a year."

Mrs. Xu raised her feet and walked into the courtyard: "Who said it wasn't? I have received several posts from the matchmaker since my sister's return home. They are placed in the room, and it's not like he didn't see them. I just talked to him yesterday. I mentioned it face to face. It’s just that he’s really busy these days, so I’m afraid he forgot when he heard that he was being entangled by the household department.”

Xu sighed inwardly.No matter how busy a father is, how can he forget the lifelong events of his children?Just mentioning it to him, but he dismissed her with "you make up your mind".She's just a stepmother, how dare she decide this kind of thing on her own?She didn't dare to screen out the matchmaking posts that were sent to her door, and sent them all to him, in order to avoid misunderstanding that she had small thoughts.

She didn't understand, how could a father be so indifferent to his own daughter?

But it's not easy for her to tell others about this situation.After all, this is the chore of their long house.

Su Shou is really busy.

In the past few days, Su Yan mobilized the shop assistants to inquire about the "ghost hand", but he has not found anyone, but there are many rumors about the ghost hand, and the more he hears, the more frightened he is, and the more he hears, the more anxious he is. He felt that the world's words were exaggerated, and that a locksmith who played with mystery was blown into a god, so now he has believed it very much, because he has seen the lock that San Quan'er said!
It was a four-bolt lock with two bolts. For the locks used by ordinary merchants to lock warehouses, the three-bolt lock produced by the Su family is enough, because the structure of the three-bolt lock is already very complicated, and the technology of ordinary people is not very high. , it is not bad to be able to reach this level.But the lock of the ghost hand is not only a more secure four-spring lock, but also has a double lock bolt!

A copper lock no more than two inches long has such a complicated structure hidden inside, and all parts of the lock body can be made to fit perfectly. As the head of the Su family, he suddenly felt a little ashamed in front of such craftsmanship feeling.

This kind of lock can never be made by the current Su family. Even if they have exquisite locks, they are all old styles that the great-grandfather had when he was alive!Therefore, the skill of this ghost hand is undoubtedly much higher than that of the Su family!

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep peacefully?
How could Su Shou sleep?

How can you not be busy?
Even Zhang Yun, the great scholar of Wenyuange University and Minister of Rites, who has supported him several times, is about to have his sixtieth birthday, he delayed going to the Zhang family to help with the preparations until these two days.

"Lord Su, please stay." As soon as he got on the horse heading for Zhang's house, Jiang Mei, the Cheng of Dali Temple, chased after him. When he got off the horse, he took out a post from his cuff: "Brother Su, I have an invitation for you, brother. It’s from Brother Su. Master Lu Peilu, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, entrusted my younger brother as a messenger to invite Brother Su to have tea at Sufangzhai in the south of the city tomorrow night.”

Su Shou stared at his face for a moment: "Lord Lu?"

"Exactly." Jiang Mei approached, and said in a low voice: "Master Lu is a close friend of the lower officials, because I heard that in March, a group of officials from the Sixth Ministry will move out, and a number of vacancies will be vacated. I will not hide it from you, Lord Lu. I want to fill a position between the six departments."

Su Shou shook his head: "Brother Jiang really found the wrong person. What does this have to do with me? How can I, Su, have such great power?"

"Master Su has nothing to do with him, but he has a lot to do with Elder Zhang Ge. There was news from the court yesterday that this time the officials will be transferred to Elder Zhang Ge. Brother Su is the most proud student of Elder Zhang Ge. The student with the highest official position, Elder Zhang Ge only has one son, so he must support the adults in the future, so that he can reflect the Zhang family in the court. If an adult can pass a sentence or a sentence in front of the elders, how can it be worthless?"

Su Shou looked at the sky, and looked back half a day later: "Brother Jiang thinks highly of Su. Mr. Zhang Ge is upright and upright. He reports to the public to handle affairs. How can we let me interfere wantonly? Brother Jiang wants tea, come to Su's house at any time , I still have a few cans of good tea. For other things, please forgive Su for being helpless."

After finishing speaking, he arched his hands and rode his horse to set off.

Out of the street, You Chun'er, who was immediately next to him, asked: "Master, you and Mr. Jiang have such a deep friendship, and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is also on the same level as you. Maybe you can tell Mr. Zhang Ge, is it true?" It's not too much trouble. Why did you reject Mr. Jiang today?"

"What do you know?" Su Shou scolded him.

His face was tense for a while, he sank, and couldn't help but said: "Zhang Ge always values ​​me because the Su family has a future in his eyes. If he knows the current situation of the Su family..." Speaking of this, he Take a look: "You guys have to be more low-key in your actions in the future."

"Yes."
