Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Shuntian government office.

After successfully solving the difficult matter of the former father-in-law, Su Mu felt relieved, and Hu Ying finally did not have to be implicated by this matter.

After getting the news, everyone talked for a long time.

Su Mu didn't expect Zhu Shou to be so capable in handling things, and he didn't want to be a waste child of the clan at all, so he couldn't help but praise him greatly.

Hearing Su Mu's praise, Zhu Houzhao felt complacent: "It's so-so. I had a very fulfilling life today, Ziqiao. If there is such excitement in the future, don't leave me alone."

Su Mu smiled, couldn't help looking at Hu Shun who was so excited and uncontrollable, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is not good for me, it's true to be a normal person, I don't want to encounter such troubles in the future. "

Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "Zi Qiao, I found that since I got acquainted with you, I have encountered many interesting things. I have a hunch that there will be more excitement in the future. Remember to bring me along."

Su Mu rolled his eyes, "A crow's mouth, a crow's mouth."

The future Emperor Zhengde became interested: "Zi Qiao, what is Crow's Mouth? Is there an allusion?"

The others wanted to laugh, but didn't dare, so they covered their mouths and endured it hard.

Su Mu let out a haha, and said: "This is a folk saying, magpies are good news, crows, haha, haha... That's it for today, go home!"

After speaking, he stood up and strode out.

Zhu Houzhao took a look at the sky, and also called out badly.I have been out for such a long time, so I have to be prepared to go back late and be sent to the palace.

At the moment, everyone dispersed cleanly.

Su Mu couldn't walk a few steps on the street when he saw Hu Shun following behind him step by step. He wanted to come up for a chat, but he hesitated.

Suddenly he felt a little angry, turned around and said, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Hu?"

This is the second time Su Mu mentioned that he can save the crisis. If he said he was not grateful, it would be a lie.

At the beginning, Hu Shun wanted to make Su Mu his son-in-law, so he used many disgraceful methods.But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make Su Mu submit.

Su Mu passed the imperial examination all the way, won three first places in one breath, and now has the reputation of a scholar.

Walking behind him, seeing Su Mu's big sleeves fluttering and elegant, in a flash, Hu Shun realized that this person is the white crane in the cloud, but he is not the only one he can control.

Letting such a person be his son-in-law is undoubtedly a dream.

Now he feels only a burst of remorse, if he simply married Hu Ying to Su Mu... Of course, a scholar would not marry the daughter of a military household... If she had let her daughter be Su Mu's concubine, Hu Ying must have been willing in her heart of.In this way, with Su Mu's resourcefulness, why did he have such a difficult time in the officialdom, and repeatedly encountered situations like today's narrow escape.

But now, it's too late to say anything. With what I have done, I can't say such words again.

"Slap!" Suddenly, Hu Shun raised his palm and slapped himself hard.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Hu Jinxue was shocked and asked anxiously.

Su Mu was also taken aback by Hu Shun's move: "Hu Baihu!"

Probably because of the slap in the face, Hu Shun had tears in his eyes, lowered his head and moaned a few times, and finally said loudly: "Su Mu, I, Hu Shun, have been fooled by everything in the past. Ziqiao, you help me so much. I owe it to you that my Hu family has not been destroyed until now, and I dare not say anything to ask you to forgive me. I, Hu Shun, am not a human being, and I will repay my kindness. Today, I just need to say something to you, Zi Qiao. , Whether to kill or cut, there is no difference."

"Uncle..." Hu Jinxue was stunned. In his mind, Hu Shun was just a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard. Unexpectedly, he bowed his head to Su Mu today.

Su Mu was angry and funny: "Master Hu, why do you do this? I'll help you today because I saw Miss Hu. No matter what, you are also my elder, there is no need."

Hu Shun shook his head: "Zi Qiao, I know I was wrong, please punish me."

To be honest, Su Mu hated Hu Shun very much.If it wasn't for him being Hu Ying's father, how could he be willing to help because Miss Hu was so infatuated with him that he didn't even have time to gloat?

However, seeing Hu Shun's words came from the bottom of his heart, he really regretted it, but the gloom in Su Mu's heart disappeared inexplicably.

Su Mu: "Forget it, the previous incidents have been blown by a strong wind, so there is no need to mention it. Master Hu, this officialdom is a place where you can live and die. In places like factory guards, the competition is even more cruel. With your temperament , I am not suitable to be this officer at all, I advise you, don’t stay in Beijing, go back to Baoding. It doesn’t matter if you have something to do in the future, if you get into trouble in the future, you will implicate Hu Ying.”

This is Su Mu's heartfelt words, Hu Shun is not suitable for being in the officialdom no matter in terms of IQ or EQ.As a small military officer in the local area, it may be okay to bully men and women, but the capital is full of officials, and if you are not careful, you will bring out a big shot.People in the officialdom are all ruthless. If this guy stays in the capital like this, something will happen again someday.

He also smiled wryly in his heart: Su Mu, Su Mu, you are such a good person without principles, Hu Shun treated you so well in the past, and whenever you were in danger, you were obliged to help.Well, let's see Hu Ying's face.Although she is not my wife, in his heart, Su Mu regards her as his own woman.A man is a big man, naturally he has to take on the responsibility of defending his family, but he just wants to be ashamed of his heart.

Hu Shun nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what Ziqiao said is true. My hundred households were originally used as a scapegoat. After understanding this matter, I will go back to Baoding and resign from this official of Jinyi Baihu. I I'm getting old, so I just take off this official uniform and go home to retire."

Su Mu: "Master Hu, it's best for you to think so. I'm leaving." After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and turned to go home.

Looking at Su Mu's back, Hu Jinxue said in surprise, "Uncle, you really don't want to be this hundred householder?"

Hu Shun's face was depressed, and he sighed: "After entering school, uncle can see clearly that people in the officialdom are all cannibals. Uncle is tired and doesn't want to play anymore."

"But... Uncle, you have already offended the people in the Baoding military household guard before, and now you have offended Gao Tongzhi from the Experience Department. You are no longer an official. Will they let you go?"

Hu Shun: "Entering school, we can inherit the position of a low-level officer in Jinyiwei. Uncle has saved thousands of taels of silver in the past few months, and he is going to take it all out and let you succeed me. The position of a hundred households. Uncle's In my later years, I will leave it to you."

Hu Jinxue burst into tears: "Uncle, my nephew doesn't want to be an officer. I just want to serve you for the rest of my life. After you have lived for a hundred years, my nephew will serve the young lady again."

Hu Shun was moved in his heart, but he said angrily: "What nonsense, after a hundred years, I can still live for decades!"

Hu Jinxue: "Uncle, you live a long life."

After talking, the two went to Baihusuo.

As Hu Shun expected, no one in the Hundred Households went somewhere to have fun, except for a small soldier who guarded the gate.

This should be the last time Hu Shun came to this Baihu Office, although he only worked as a Jinyi Baihu for less than a day.

After grinding the ink, I finished writing the history of the Yamen in Shuntian Mansion today, and wrote a resignation letter, and asked the pawn to submit it together. After that, Hu Shun and Hu Jinxue returned to the inn.

After packing up, it was time to eat.

Hu Shun and Hu Jinxue went downstairs to order a table of dishes, and while eating, they discussed the itinerary for tomorrow.

If there is no accident, the Experience Department will send someone over early tomorrow morning.

Just as he was eating, suddenly, a group of Jin Yiwei in brightly colored flying fish uniforms rushed in: "Which one is Hu Shun?"

The leader, Jin Yiwei, looked very fierce, his eyes were full of green light, like a man-eating beast.When he saw it, his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing so many ferocious Jinyiwei, the diners in the restaurant immediately dispersed with a "boom".

Both the shopkeeper and the waiter trembled and hid aside, not saying a word.

Hu Shun stood up, thinking: Sure enough, he has come, but he didn't want it to be so early.It seems that Gao Tongzhi has no way to frame me, Hu Shun, so naturally he will not let me stay in the capital to be happy, and send me back to Baoding to be serious, and I can't even wait for a night.Seeing that this group of people are not kind, I'm afraid if I don't come back, let me go back to Baoding like this. Is it going to go to prison?

This time Shuntian Mansion caused such a big disturbance, although it has been resolved smoothly, it has already happened and caused bad influence.If that Gao Tongzhi wants to use this matter to trouble me, there is nothing he can do.

I, Hu Shun, have a hard life!

The uneasiness in his heart was hard to contain, and Hu Shun's legs were a little weak.

He cupped his hands: "I'm Hu Shun, the Baihu Office of Lumi Cang Baihu, but the brother from the Experience Department?"

Hearing Hu Shun's identification, the leader suddenly smiled: "What is the experience department? I'm not Gao Yuan's subordinate. We only recognize Commander Mou in our eyes."

When he smiled, the evil spirit on his face disappeared immediately, he looked very kind, and his attitude towards Hu Shun became more polite.He clasped his hands in return: "My name is Jixiang, and I'm a strongman under Commander Mou. I usually run errands for the commander, just as a watchdog. Brother Hu is a member of a hundred households, and his position is higher than mine, so why be polite."

After speaking, he affectionately took Hu Shun's hand.

Indeed, this person's position is not high.But according to what he said, this strongman named Jixiang was actually the personal guard of Mou Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei.The prime minister's family, a seventh-rank official, went out with an auspicious identity, and even the adults of Qianhu had to behave and obey orders.

Unexpectedly, he was so affectionate to Hu Shun, Hu Baihu felt a little flattered, and said: "It should, it should, but I don't know if Brother Ji came to see Hu Shun for something important?"

Even though he was on official business, Jixiang still had a smile on his face: "Isn't it because the scholars besieged Shuntian Mansion today, the commander already knew about it, well done!"

Hu Shun's heart trembled, thinking that what Jixiang said was ironic, and there was sweat on his forehead: "The villain has neglected his duty, the villain has neglected his duty, and he has written a letter to plead guilty, and he is going home to wait for his superiors to deal with him."

"Why, Hu Baihu wants to go back to Baoding?" Jixiang asked with a half-smile.

Hu Shun was even more shocked: "We will start tomorrow, if the manager allows it."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to leave, Hu Baihu." Ji Xiang said with a straight face, "The Commander-in-Chief said that talents are rare, and they must be used in the capital."

After finishing speaking, he took a new official robe, a confession, and an ivory waist badge from the guard behind him.

Read aloud: "... Hu Shun is hereby appointed as the deputy of the Qianhu Office of South Street and the post of Jinyi Baihu of Tianshui Hutong..."

After reading, he stuffed the letter of appointment into Hu Shun's hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Hu Qianhu, Tianshui Hutong is the most prosperous place in the capital, and many people can't ask for it. Hehe, you are now the commander of Mou Yes. Speaking of which, you and I are one family, and I will take care of my little brother in the future, haha!"

"Promoted...promoted..." Hu Shun stuttered.

Beside him, Hu Jinxue suddenly cheered: "Uncle, great joy, great joy!"
