Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Hearing what Su Mu said, the prince immediately came to his senses: "Indeed, we have to send them out. This place is strictly guarded. If other people find out, the officials will come to make trouble. Ziqiao, you can go out earlier. Have you found a place?"

Su Mu: "I found it. It's a long story?"

"Then talk while walking, I like listening to people tell stories the most."

Su Mu gave a wry smile, and walked along the lakeshore with Zhu Houzhao, telling the story from beginning to end.

"Oh, I really didn't expect this Hu Shun to be promoted?"

Su Mu: "Isn't it because you led people to raid several thousand households in Jinyiwei last night, and Mou Bin's men all mobilized to beat up the Dongchang. Lao Hu took back the Fengshui treasure land in Tianshui Hutong for Jinyiwei, You have made a big face again, and you will definitely be rewarded."

Hearing Su Mu talk about his prestige last night, the future Emperor Zhengde laughed wildly triumphantly: "Last night, I had a great time killing, haha, but Ziqiao also gained a lot of money, and even bought a big house. The one you said I know that the house is the old house of a minister of the Ministry of Industry in the year of Tian Qi, it is very big, and it is worth several thousand taels of silver. If this is the case, I will not give you any other benefits."

Su Mu smiled and said, "You are really stingy."

Zhu Houzhao: "It doesn't count, you will have a salary and silver when you walk in the East Palace in the future."

Su Mu said with a bitter face: "Prince, you don't know the difficulty of a big house. If it is really as you said, my new house is really big. If only three or four people live in it, it will seem a bit desolate. No matter how you say it, you have to buy a few. You are a servant girl. The yard needs to be tidied up too, it costs money."

The prince smiled and said: "Zi Qiao, you are also a recruiter now, so you can be an official. If you are really poor, why don't I ask some teaching masters to send you a fat job in a rich place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and make a good fortune."

"That's a good relationship. I'd like to be an official of Hedaoyandao." Su Mu was greatly surprised. Isn't the prince's master the three great scholars in the cabinet? As long as they nod, it is easy to appoint an official from the seventh rank.

However, after thinking about it, Su Mu was discouraged: "Forget it, there are still a few months until the Jinshi examination, so I can't pass."

Although Zhu Houzhao was messing around, he also knew that Chunwei was related to Su Mu's future. If Su Mu were to be an official now, because he was not a Jinshi, his fortune in this life would be limited.

While talking, the two came to the courtyard where they rested last night.

Wu Juren was still sleeping, and he didn't have a fever anymore, but he had been out in public for too long yesterday, and when he was woken up, he was in a bad state, and was tightly wrapped by Ms. Wu with a quilt, and even his head was covered with a blue cotton cloth Tangled like an Indian Ah San, only revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Soon, Liu Jin called a heavily covered carriage, stuffed the four of them into the carriage and sent them out.

When they arrived at the West Garden, Wu Juren and the other three didn't know that they actually stayed overnight in the imperial garden yesterday.

"Master, where are you going to take us? Have you rented a place?" Xiaodie couldn't help asking while sitting in the car feeling suffocated.

"What kind of rent? Someone gave me a house directly." Su Mu thought for a while, and told Xiao Die briefly about Hu Shun giving him the yard, only saying that Hu Shun wanted to ask him to be his teacher , I didn't want to, and returned all the salary he sent over.

However, this Hu Shun played a fool and bought a house directly under his Su Mu name.

It's fine now, and I can't go back even if I want to.

With a bitter face, Su Mu handed a stack of house deeds to Xiaodie.

"The people from the Hu family are still shameless... Isn't this a disguised gift...?" Xiaodie realized that she had slipped her words, quickly shut her mouth, and carefully glanced at Miss Wu.

Miss Wu sat in the corner of the carriage with her head down, as if she didn't hear it.

Xiaodie still carefully put the house deed into her arms, and said: "Since it can't be returned, Xiaodie will keep it for the young master, and the left and right are our Su family's property. After the madam enters the house, I will hand it over to the madam. You Do you mean it, sister Wu?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Miss Wu again, Miss Wu was ice-snow and smart, how could she not understand what Xiaodie said, she blushed up to her ears.

Su Mu was also a little embarrassed, but at this time Wu Juren coughed and asked in a vague voice: "Su Mu, it's not easy to live in the capital, and you didn't have the ability to buy a house in the capital before you became an official. Since someone gave you a house, and Just accept it, and act in a hurry."

"Yes, the old gentleman is right."

"By the way, is the place big?"

"It should be enough."

Wu Juren snorted: "The housing prices in this capital are rising every year. You worked as a master at the Jinyiwei military officer, and you earned a hundred taels of silver a month. After working for two months, you didn't have much money. I guess you couldn't buy any good locations. The courtyard is definitely not big. However, a gentleman has high ambitions, but he can't be entangled in common things."

Su Mu knew that this old Juren was very important to his future residence, but he refused to lose his identity verbally.I took it for granted in my heart, and responded: "What the old man said is true."

When they arrived at the land, not only Wu Juren and his daughter, but even Su Mu, a well-informed modern person, was shocked: This place is really quite good!

There are three courtyards in this place, which are different from the common courtyard houses in Beijing, but this place is a typical garden structure in the south of the Yangtze River.After entering the gate, there is a screen wall in front of you, and a flower hall behind the screen wall.Behind it is a lotus pond.

At the end of autumn, the lotus pond is full of dry lotus leaves.But there is a green bamboo growing beside the rockery by the pond, which is so green that it is dazzling.

There are several unnamed big trees planted beside the curved corridor. When the wind blows, the red leaves of the trees rustle.

Su Mu roughly estimated that the total area is at least 6000 mu. Could it be worth [-] taels of silver? This Hu Shun is really generous!

To be honest, the old house of the Su family in Baoding may have a larger area than this place, but compared with the exquisiteness here, it is much cruder.

Xiaodie grew up in the Shenzhai compound since she was a child, and suffered a lot with Su Mu in the past few years, so she didn't have any excessive demands on material things.But as soon as he returned to his familiar living environment, he still couldn't help screaming, holding Miss Wu's hand and shaking it up and down: "This place is so beautiful, I really like it!"

Ms. Wu is also from a wealthy family, so she naturally likes this kind of large and beautiful garden-style building.It's just that he is a lady of everyone, so he can't get carried away with joy, but there is a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Seeing the cheering second daughter, Su Mu felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart: as a man, he should create good living conditions for his beloved woman, only in this way can he be worthy of others.

At this moment, a dissonant sound came. Wu Juren stood by the pond for a long time, nodded, and said, "Su Mu, you are really nice here. Congratulations first. Yuner, let's go!"

"Walk……"

"Ah!" Su Mu and Xiaodie cried out in surprise at the same time.

Xiaodie hurriedly said: "Master Wu, the young master invited you and Sister Wu to come here, isn't it just to let you live here?"

Wu Juren snorted coldly: "Live here? I, Wu, and Su Mu are not related, so why should I live here?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Xiaodie again, and said to his daughter: "Let's go, find another place to live, and I'll bring a letter to Su Mu after I settle down."

Miss Wu immediately understood why her father said that, after all, although her father intended to marry herself to Su Mu.But the two of them are neither married nor engaged, so living together at this time is not in accordance with the law.

He nodded and said softly, "Yes, father."
