Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Back at the inn, Su Mu asked the inn clerk to pack his belongings into boxes.

The proprietress of the inn exaggeratedly asked: "Master Mei, are you going on a long trip?"

After all, having lived here for such a long time, Su Mu became familiar with the people in the inn, and developed some feelings for them.

He didn't hide anything, and nodded: "It's probably the day after tomorrow, and I'm going back to the capital."

"Back to the capital, isn't Mr. Mei working as a teacher at your father-in-law now? Where is the Yansi? It's surrounded by your big tree on Mount Tai. It's so beautiful, but why did you leave? Is it because of the bigamy that you fell out with your father-in-law again?" Most of the women gossip, and the proprietress can't help but keep asking.

Su Mu finally finished the work at hand today, and he was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't turn my back on me, I didn't turn my back on my face."

"Why are you leaving?"

Su Mu naturally told her that he was going back to the capital to take the exam: "Master Wu is just a transshipment envoy. It is estimated that the imperial court will send a new salt envoy, and he will return to Yangzhou to be an official. I am settling down in the capital and I am fine now. , of course I have to go home."

"It turns out that Master Wu is going back to Yangzhou?" the proprietress cried out in shock.

Su Mu: "I'll only tell you about the lady boss, don't spread it outside."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, my mouth is strict."

Although Su Mu's inspection job in Cangzhou is a military job, he is still a literati at heart.After coming to Cangzhou, I specially opened up a house as a study room. I bought four sets of the Four Treasures of the Study Room and saved thousands of books. Adding daily necessities, clothes and bedding, I packed ten crates full and used one It was only in the afternoon that it was tidied up.

When everything was settled and was about to be locked, Su Mu told the guys to wait a while, carefully peeled off a piece of paper from the wall, folded it and put it in the box.

This piece of paper was written by Nannan before she left, with the word "Zhihua" written on it.

Although the characters are immature, they have begun to take on the charm of Dong Qichang's style.

Thinking of the time when he taught her how to write by hand, Su Mu felt warm in his heart.

But when he thought of his niece's mother, Mei Niang, Su Mu felt pain in his heart, but it was an indescribable melancholy.

The day Mei Niang left, it was also because he couldn't keep it up, and by accident, he had a skin-to-skin relationship with her.

Su Mu thinks that he doesn't care much about women's sex. After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he also has three confidante girls, but they are all about love and etiquette.

But he didn't want to, his boyish body in this life was broken on Meiniang's body.

If it was in the past, Mei Niang was just an outsider after all, and whether she lived or died had nothing to do with him.But after having this relationship, Su Mu has a special feeling in his heart.

When Mei Niang left, she kept all the money she gave her, and did not take any money. Now, how are the two of them doing?

Su Mu felt stunned.

************************************************** *

Since he was going back to the capital in a few days, it was not appropriate to just go back after being away from home for such a long time this time, so he should bring some gifts back to his family anyway.

Fortunately, Hu Ying said, this wild girl is used to using guns and sticks, so let's sell her some weapons and go home!

Cangzhou is the hub of the north and the south, with prosperous commerce and close to the sea. There is a business opened by a sea goods merchant in the city.The businessman in this warehouse is surnamed Jin. According to Zongzhen, this person used to be a quack who made his fortune by smuggling salt.After digging the first pot of gold from private salt, I probably felt that the high risk of selling salt was not satisfactory.I simply bought a ship and ran the route from China to Japan.

There are a lot of Japanese goods in his warehouse. Japan is very poor these days, and there are no Japanese goods, so there is nothing to boycott if you want to.

The ships of the Ming Dynasty that sailed to Japan mainly carried two items of goods, one was gold, and the price of gold in Japan was quite low; the other was Japanese swords.

Japan produces high-quality steel, and the refined swords are of high quality and exceptionally sharp.

Su Mu didn't bargain with the clerk at the inn either. He brought one of the samurai swords, co-chasers, and wild swords, and asked the clerk to wrap it up and send it to the inn.

Hu Ying's gift has been settled, but Xiaodie has to spend some time thinking.

Su Mu didn't know what hobby this little girl had, her only hobby seemed to be housekeeping.

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Mu didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he went to a silk and satin shop and picked out a few pieces of material to settle the matter.Women, who doesn't like to wear beautiful clothes?

After the gift was bought, Su Mu had nowhere to go, so he decided to visit the Development Bank again, and find Zongzhen for a drink by the way.

After walking a few steps on the street, I heard Taikang's coquettish voice: "I hate it, can't you lose a game?"

It had been a while since Taikang spoke in this baby voice, and Su Mu suddenly had goosebumps all over his body.

Looking back, he laughed out loud.

It turned out that there happened to be a shop that bought stationery on the street.

Su Mu has been to this shop several times before, and the owner is a scholar.The interior of the store is very elegantly decorated, with calligraphy and paintings of famous people hanging on the walls, the floor is spread in the room, and in the center is an ebony root carving surrounded by one person.

A chessboard is engraved on the root carving, which is very elegant.

This situation is a bit like the tea houses of later generations.

From the looks of it, the boss didn't open this business for money, but to find something to pass the time, and it's also convenient to contact literary friends and poets.

At this moment, Princess Taikang is staring at a scholar in his twenties with a charming smile, holding a sunspot in her hand, which will not fall for a long time.

And behind her stood one cake, two cakes and two mountains of meat, all looking at the scholar sitting in front of Princess Taikang with angry faces.Obviously, Princess Taikang lost badly in this game.The master was worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the two maids of honor were filled with anger.

What a coincidence, this scholar not only knew Su Mu, but also Taikang knew him very well.

This person is Xiao Xiucai who was the first to eat crabs and make a fortune from salt tickets.

Su Mu was also idle, so he walked towards the house.He was also wondering, why did these two people sit together and play chess?

Sure enough, as he expected, Princess Taikang lost miserably, and a big dragon was about to be slaughtered.

Princess Taikang is a person who refuses to admit defeat, she keeps winking at Xiao Xiucai, trying to disturb his mind.

But he didn't want to, this Xiao Xiucai had a dull face, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard and he didn't move for a moment, Taikang had a blank expression.

Su Mu also learned Go in the modern society before, he likes Chinese studies, Go is a skill passed down from his ancestors, so naturally he has to dabble in it.

He used to spend money to learn from a teacher for a while. Speaking of which, the teacher he worshiped was also well-known in China, and he was a fifth-dan professional.

After spending a lot of money to play instructional chess, the famous chess player was also a little embarrassed and said: "Jin Yong's "Jade Blood Sword" said that if you are not a national player at the age of 16, you will have no hope for life. This is indeed the truth. It's too late, I'm too old, I won't be able to be a professional chess player in this life, let's play!"

Su Mu originally had a playful attitude, but never thought of becoming a professional.

Even so, his current real level is like that of an amateur second or third dan.
