Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 37 Calling on Sun Chuanting

"Old slave, go here."

Hearing Hong Xuan's words, Hong Fusheng bowed in response, but he couldn't help but feel sad for Hong Xuan, who obviously killed his son and enemy, but still took the initiative to ask for peace.

However, he also knows that this is the survival rule of aristocratic families. When they are at a disadvantage, they are willing to put down their bodies to seek peace, sharpen their fangs secretly, and when they have the opportunity, they will kill with one blow, and never leave their opponents a chance to fight back.

For the aristocratic family, some things are either not done, or absolutely done!

.........

Shangqiu County is located in the Huanghuai Plain, leaning on the Yellow River on the left and Guidefu City on the right. It has all waterways and is far more prosperous than Yu County.

Su Hao drove the carriage and followed the flow of people into the county seat. After leaving the boundary of Zhending Mansion, Jingchen bid him farewell and left. After nearly a month's long journey, he finally arrived in Shangqiu County.

After entering the city, Su Hao didn't wander around, but hastily found an inn to stay in. Traveling in ancient times was not as comfortable as in modern times. Although in the Ming Dynasty, roads were built between various places, traveling is not like hundreds of years ago It's just as difficult, but it's not much better. It's common to eat and sleep in the open, and it's not so easy to find an inn.

The next day, after having breakfast at the inn, Su Hao went to the store clerk to ask the location of the tooth shop, and then left the inn. Since he had already decided to stay in Shangqiu County, it was naturally impossible to stay in the inn all the time.

The tooth shop is located in the most prosperous main street in Shangqiu County. This street is quite prosperous, with all kinds of facilities such as restaurants, teahouses, and medical clinics. There are even small vendors on the side of the road.

"Grandpa, I don't know what you want?"

As soon as he stepped into the dental shop, a dental shop assistant greeted him.

"I want a courtyard with two entrances, do you have any suitable ones?"

In Daming, Yaxing is a place that cannot be escaped. Whether it is buying land or buying a house, you can’t do without Yaxing. Even if you have negotiated privately, you have to ask Yaxing to be a guarantor, and then go to the Yamen to discuss. Because of such a great convenience, people in dental shops often eat at home and then at home, and even intentionally interfere with other people's business. It is for this reason that dental shops in the city are classified as unlawful like car and boat shops. Sin deserves to be killed.

"Master, you came just in time, we happen to have one here."

Hearing Su Hao's words, the store clerk's eyes flashed brightly, and he quickly flattered him, "This is a big deal. Houses in Shangqiu County are not cheap. Yingtian Academy, one of the four major academies of the Ming Dynasty, is in Shangqiu. Come here. The students studying here are like crucian carp crossing the river, and housing prices in the county are not cheaper than those in Nanjing.

"Take me to see it."

...

After completing the transfer procedures of the house, one morning has passed. Originally, the efficiency of the yamen was not so fast, but under the operation of the dental office, all the procedures were completed in just half a day.

In addition to the house, Su Hao also hired a few servants through the dental shop. Although Daming did not completely abolish slavery, if you want to buy a servant, you must have an official status or title. If you don't have an official status or title, you can only Hire servants.

.........

Shangqiu County, county government, back government office.

On the martial arts training ground, Sun Chuanting was waving a long spear. With a shake of his hand, the spear blossomed, and as he waved it, a cold light suddenly appeared!
"Master, there is a young master surnamed Su at the door asking to see him, saying that he is the queen of your old friend."

At this time, the butler Sun Cai came to the side of the training ground and bowed and said.

Hearing the butler's words, Sun Chuanting slowly retracted his gun, and a stream of white air spewed out several meters away. If Su Hao saw this scene, he would definitely be able to recognize it. This is the characteristic of being promoted to a second-rate master with 60 years of skill.

"Surname Su? After an old friend?"

After finishing his work, Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and said, "Where did he say he was from?"

He liked to travel around since he was a child, and he made many friends, including many with the surname Su.

Sun Cai replied: "Master, that young master claims to be from Yu County."

Yu County?

Hearing about Yu County, Sun Chuanting immediately thought of Su An, so he said, "Invite him to the lobby, and I'll be there when I change clothes."

...

In the lobby, Su Hao looked around indifferently. After buying the house, he spent two days moving and buying things. He didn't have time to visit Sun Chuanting until today.

"Nephew came all the way, why not send someone to deliver the letter first, so that uncle can send someone to pick you up."

At this time, a bold voice sounded from outside the lobby, and at the same time, a majestic man with a height of eight feet and a burly appearance appeared outside the lobby.

"My nephew met Uncle Sun."

Hearing the other party's words, Su Hao immediately understood that this was Sun Chuanting, so he got up and bowed. However, Su Hao felt that this was more like a martial artist than a literati.

"Don't be so polite, sit down."

After looking Su Hao up and down, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "I and your father are inseparable, coming to Wei Shu's place is like coming to my own home."

After a little politeness between the two, Sun Chuanting asked, "I don't know how your father is doing?"

"Uncle Sun, my father passed away a few months ago."

Su Hao shook his head.

"Passed away?"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Sun Chuanting sighed slightly. He was not too surprised by this result. He also knew about the inheritance of the Su family, cultivating heresy ways would damage the morality and harm the body. Since he met Su An, the other party's health has not been better.

After a moment of silence, Sun Chuanting said, "I don't know if my nephew is here to study in Shangqiu County?"

He also knew about the matter of Su Hao being selected as a scholar, and the matter of Su An's letting Su Hao become a scholar, he was the one who contributed to it.

Hearing this, Su Hao shook his head and said, "Uncle Sun, my nephew is here to take refuge this time."

"How is this going?"

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting frowned.

"It's my Su family's feud who found Yu County. My nephew is no match, so I can only escape from Yu County."

Su Hao calmly said that he didn't intend to tell Sun Chuanting the truth. Although Sun Chuanting and Su An had a close relationship, he didn't know Sun Chuanting very well, nor did he know what Sun Chuanting was like.

Besides, the Fan family's influence in Shanxi is not small, if Sun Chuanting's behavior is too bad, then he will lead the wolf into the house.

"feud?"

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting's heart sank. If it was other things, he could still help, but he couldn't help with this kind of thing. Jianghu vendettas are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and he, a little county magistrate, can't help. Can't get involved in this kind of thing.

After a long silence, Sun Chuanting said slowly, "I wonder what my nephew's plan is next? If my nephew wants to continue studying in Yingtian Academy, Uncle Wei can recommend it for you."

"Uncle Sun, I don't want to continue my studies."

Su Hao shook his head and said: "The other party has chased me to Yu County, so he must know about my imperial examination. The other party will definitely ambush me at the examination room. Going to participate in the imperial examination is just sending sheep to the tiger's mouth."
