Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

No matter how you hide, you can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

It was very hot in June, and Su Mu thought it would be as hot as a steamer inside the carriage covered with thick cloth.

Strange to say, as soon as he got into the carriage, a gust of cool air hit his face, making him feel relieved.Looking intently, I saw a red lacquered wooden basin filled with crystal clear ice cubes in the carriage.

In ancient times, there was no air-conditioning, so when it was hot, it would be too hot.Therefore, the homes of wealthy and famous families will have ice cellars, and ice will be taken from the river on the coldest day of the three or nine days, wrapped in quilts and stored in the cellar, and will be picked up in the hottest days, or placed in the house to cool down, or Cold drinks.

Any kind of enjoyment that seems very simple and cheap in modern society consumes a lot of manpower and material resources in ancient times.

I've never seen such a thing like putting ice cubes in the car, Su Mu screamed in his heart at the same time, "Prodigal son!"

However, they are royal princesses, and money is like dirt to them, and a few pieces of ice are nothing.

After about a pot of tea in the car dealership, we reached the ground.

When the carriage stopped, Su Mu got out of the car and looked up, and he gave another thumbs up in his heart.

But in front of him is a quaint and deep mansion, which looks at least a hundred years old.There are trees pouring out of the gate of the house, lush and green, like a green cloud, rustling when the cool wind blows, it is really a good place to spend summer and enjoy the cool air.

"This place is very nice. Fairy Yizhen knows how to enjoy it."

"That's natural. This place is very famous in our city of Cangzhou. It used to be the house of a salt merchant. Later, the salt merchant committed a crime and his family property was confiscated by the government. This place was left unused and belonged to the salt company. On weekdays, the dignitaries in the city also like to set wine here to entertain their guests."

Hearing Su Mu, a man with a foreign accent, praise the scenery here, he raised his chest on the handlebars, looking proud.

Erbing got out of the car: "It's right here, sir, just go in after you've finished speaking."

Before, she was worried that Su Mu would not come with her, but now she threw Su Mu aside and walked so fast that she couldn't see the shadow in a blink of an eye, which made Su Mu feel very strange.

There was also a burst of music in the breeze.

Ordinarily, a plain qin is enough for a literati gathering, and what is captured is the upright, peaceful and elegant artistic conception.But this burst of music sounded a bit like Cantonese folk music "Joyful", "Thunder in the Drought" and "High Festival". It was festive and enthusiastic, and there was a burst of applause among them. It seemed that there were many people in it.

Su Mu smiled and shook his head. After all, Princess Taikang is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, and it is a little annoying to always tell her to stretch her poems. It is a minor nature to like excitement.

Just as he was about to walk in, the handlebar stopped Su Mu with a smile: "Master, are you leaving just like that?"

Su Mu: "What's wrong?"

The handlebar: "The money for the carriage has not been paid by the elder sister just now, so it can only fall on you."

Su Mu: "How much?" He took out a bunch of copper coins.

The handlebar raised two fingers: "Two two."

Su Mu was startled: "It's only a few steps, and it's only fifty or sixty Wen."

The handlebar pointed at the cupronickel edging on the carriage, pointed at the brocade pier and the ice basin inside, and smiled without saying a word.

Su Mu had no choice but to throw a piece of broken silver.Indeed, this car is worth the price.Take a taxi in modern society as an example. The ordinary carriage is the Beijing Hyundai Elantra, and this carriage is a Rolls-Royce or Maserati. Charging you 2000 yuan is already a conscience price.

Although this was not a big deal, Su Mu always felt strange that two liang of silver was nothing to him.

For Princess Taikang, it is not worth mentioning.

But the royal family pays attention to the courage and decency, sending a car to pick up the guests, how can there be any reason to ask the guests to pay for the car?

When he entered the gate, he saw a loaf of bread waiting there.

This big fat girl has a good impression of Su Mu, and when she sees him, she smiles all over her face: "Mr. is here, hurry up, come with me."

Seeing Su Mu's tall and vigorous appearance, the little girl's eyes sparkled.

After passing the screen wall, there is another door, which leads to a large courtyard.

As soon as he entered, Su Mu was taken aback by the bustling scene in front of him.

But I saw a lot of people in the courtyard, and in the middle was a juggling troupe, a group of male and female entertainers stacked up five or six meters high like arhats, and the prostitute woman on the top threw three jars up and down.

Then, naturally there was applause.

Next to it is a band, playing enthusiastic tunes so that people's ears are buzzing.

"What are you doing, and what's the point?" Su Mu couldn't help asking.

Yibing smiled and said, "I want my master to know that today is Fairy's birthday, so I invited you and the scholars from the city to come over for a gathering. Fairy paid a lot of money to invite this juggling troupe from Wuqiao."

Wuqiao acrobatics are very famous in modern times, and Wuqiao County is also known as the hometown of acrobatics.

"Birthday, how old are you?"

"My fairy is fifteen today."

There were more than a dozen tables of banquets in the large flower hall to the north of the courtyard, and the guests invited were all well-known young scholars in Cangzhou City.Among them, Su Mu has seen many people, who were very unhappy at the boat painting meeting before, and they are all admirers and followers of Princess Taikang, including the third son Gu Rungu.

Su Mu: "I'm 15 years old, I'm [-] years old, I'm already an adult, it's time to get together, it's really full of clothes!"

Yibing laughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "What are the crowds of clothes? Compared with Mr. Su, these people are nothing. Don't look at my fairy's fierce mouth, that is unconvinced. In fact, in private, the fairy is not convinced by Mr. Su's poems. The article is full of praise. Especially the novel you wrote is a must-read every day. The fairy often sighs: How can God send such a character to the world? Probably because the daughter in her boudoir knows Lonely, that's why he wrote such a book to relieve the boredom of girls!"

Hearing her praise, Su Mu was also a little proud: "Where is my seat, Yibing, find a quiet place for me."

Yibing curled his lips, and said unconvinced: "What a secluded place, with Mr.'s talent, you should be the chief, and come with me."

As he spoke, he led Su Mu to the most central position.

As soon as you enter the flower hall, you will still be greeted by the air-conditioning, and then look at the ice basins placed beside the wall, which vividly create the meaning of late autumn in May and June.

There are not many people at this table, there are six people in total.Among them, except for Mr. Gu Sangong and the other two scholars, the other two have a reputation as scholars, presumably they must be the elite of the younger generation of scholars in Cangzhou.

There were still three seats vacant at the banquet, one of which belonged to Princess Taikang, and one of them belonged to Su Mu, but who is the owner of the other seat?

Seeing Su Mu passing by, everyone in the banquet was stunned.

Su Mu sat on the vacant seat, and once the real fairy came out later, he would naturally be next to him.

Thinking that Su Mu could kiss Fangze later, the eyes of the five scholars seemed to burst into flames.
