Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Mu had received a whole set of royal education in Xiyuan before, he could write official documents like this, he was no less inferior to the old officials in the yamen, and he could write a report smoothly and smoothly in just a moment.

After finishing writing, I rubbed my hands together, feeling a little proud.

Just as I was about to read it again to see if there were any loopholes, I heard someone calling from the courtyard, "Is Master Mei here?"

It was the old lady of the inn who heard the voice.

"Yes, come in!"

The lady proprietress of the inn said "Ouch" when she saw the house coming: "Master Mei, you are writing poetry again. Master, you are very famous now, and everyone is singing your songs. You really are both civil and military!"

As he spoke, the handkerchief in his hand shook towards Su Mu.

A strong smell of perfume came to the nostrils, making the sumac suffocate.

He frowned: "I'm dealing with official business, what's the matter?"

The proprietress's eyeballs rolled around: "May I ask Master Mei's family name this year?"

Su Mu felt a little impatient: "21, you are sure."

The proprietress: "Oh, it turned out to be a real person. That place is amazing, the hometown of Zhao Zilong in Changshan. No wonder you were born handsome and tall, you can write poems and words, and you are good at swords and guns. You must be the reincarnation of Zhao Zilong."

Everyone likes to hear good things, and Su Mu is no exception.However, he was still surprised that this woman ran over to me out of nowhere and asked me what to do.

She is the proprietress, and Su Mu is not prone to seizures.

The proprietress giggled a few times, and then asked, "Is there a lady at home?"

Su Mu shook his head: "I'm a soldier, licking blood from the edge of a knife, no one from a good family will follow me."

"Ouch!" The lady screamed too much, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Mei from the inspection department is already old and hasn't married yet, tsk tsk, tsk tsk! Now you are not a soldier, the inspection department What place, after a year, hundreds of taels of benefits. If a good girl in the city knows that you have not married, Mr. Mei, I am afraid that people who come to propose marriage will step through the threshold of the inspection department."

Su Mu was both angry and funny: "21 years old is so old?"

The proprietress: "You are not too young. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the fifth generation is the eldest. The old man in my family married me at the age of 16, and he was called a father at the age of 17. At your age, children have given birth to a large group. Master, you I also have to think about my own affairs, so I can give an explanation to my ancestors. It just so happens that the old woman has a suitable candidate in her mind."

"That's it."

"No, master, don't rush to refuse, let me finish what I have to say, okay?" The proprietress said with a smile: "I have been a matchmaker for many years. I know which family in Cangzhou city has a daughter waiting for her. Let’s go! Please trust the old lady, this girl is sixteen years old, she has a beautiful face and a gentle personality, and her family background is not bad, but she is a good match for Master Mei!"

"Actually, the master is a dignified inspector, so it doesn't matter what the woman's family background is." The proprietress continued: "This little lady's surname is Zong, and she is the sister of a senior official of the Western Zong."

"The surname is Zong, a senior official?" Su Mu felt something was wrong, put down the pen in his hand, and turned to look at the proprietress.

"It's Zong Zhenzong's senior official." The proprietress of the inn said proudly: "Speaking of which, you are not an outsider with Master Mei. You just had a drink together. I think you have already agreed with Master Mei, so I entrust you to my wife." I came to the door to make a deal. Zong Daguan travels on boats all year round, and his family background is considered to be above average. He said that there is only such a girl in the family, so naturally he is not willing to find someone else. Master Mei, what do you think?"

Su Mu let out a snort, and then burst out laughing.

The proprietress of the inn saw that Su Mu was laughing hard, and suddenly she felt flustered: "Master Mei..."

Su Mu put away his smile, and became annoyed in his heart, this Zong Zhen is really omnipotent, seeing that money is not enough, and now he wants to use sex, he is someone like me, Su Mu.

However, as the proprietress of the inn, Su Mu was inconvenient to get angry, so he shook his head and said: "Let's leave this matter at that, and you can go back and say that I don't agree."

"What's the reason? There must be a reason, right?" the proprietress asked. She had benefited from Zongzhen just now and was greedy for the matchmaker's money, so she was still unwilling to reconcile.

Su Mu said coldly: "The reason is very simple, you can ask Zong Zhen and you will find out, my master will not accept such a thing."

Seeing that Su Mu was unhappy, the proprietress realized that Master Mei was an official after all, she was frightened, and hurriedly ran to the Zong family to answer.

When the proprietress of the inn left, Su Mu no longer had the heart to read official documents.It took a long time for the anger in my heart to subside.

He thought again, I am twenty-one after all, and in modern society, a boy of this age is still in college!But here is ancient times, men will get married when they turn sixteen, and bachelors at my age are really rare.

Now I, Su Mu, are just a small inspection, and people come to propose marriage.

Of course Zong Zhen had his own plan, but it was nothing more than a trick to save the private salt dealer who fell into the hands of the inspection department.

But it is undeniable that if the news that Su Mu is not married now spreads, he will inevitably face the surging army of matchmakers.After all, as far as the small Cangzhou is concerned, the Ninth Rank Inspection can be regarded as a figure.

If he returns to the capital in the future, restores his identity, and wins a Jinshi or something, as a close minister of the emperor and a new noble in the court, he will not be overwhelmed by others.

No, the marriage must be completed after the national funeral expires next year.

But who should I marry?

Hu Ying and I, Su Mu, are friends in need and have a deep relationship, but she is the daughter of a military household; Miss Wu has a deep affection for me, and she is a lady, and she is indeed a good match. From a rational point of view, I should marry her.But if she married Miss Wu, what would Hu Ying do, and how would she face that woman who dared to love and hate?

For a moment, Su Mu was crazy about it.

After sitting for a long time, Su Mu suppressed this negative emotion, and read for another long time. The people from the inspection department came, two book offices, and four soldiers.

The four soldiers all had long knives on their waists. Seeing them, Su Mu felt calmer.

Asked about the person who went out to inspect, the secretary said he hadn't come back yet!

The secretary asked again, why did Master Mei seek them?

Naturally, Su Mu didn't want to say it clearly, he just said, when someone comes back, report it immediately.

The book office said: "Master, don't worry, there are people on duty at the Banbi shop. If the soldiers come back, there will be news. Master, why do you want to move the official office into the inn?"

Su Mu said lightly: "I'm tired recently, too lazy to move, so I'm here for a few days for business."

Five people lived in the yard at once, and they crowded together immediately.

There was nothing to say that night, and the next day, there was no news of the inspectors who went out to stay, and there was no news of the cargo and criminals.

Su Mu suddenly felt strange, so many living people just disappeared.It is said that after catching people and goods, they should return to the inspection department as soon as possible.
