Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

The examination location of this year's Baoding Government Examination is located in the Government Office of the Government, and the chief examiner is the prefect of the government, surnamed Liu.

The rules and content of the prefectural and county exams are the same as those of the county exam, and there is only one exam, but there are some differences in details.For example, there must be one more granary student who guarantees candidates.Su Mu didn't pay much attention to this matter, everything was arranged by Mr. Shao; in addition, in addition to two small questions, there were three more scriptures in the examination questions.

Because it was the second pass of the boy's test and it was not formal, Su Mu didn't take this test seriously.

But when I went to the ground to see it, I was surprised that there were many people.

In front of the Xuezheng Yamen is a huge square, and facing it is a simple and majestic foyer. It is still early, and the three gates are closed.There are red lanterns hanging on the two big flagpoles at the entrance, and the lights are full of dark human heads.

Judging by the number of people, there are at least a thousand.

Surprised, Su Mu also understood immediately.There are more than ten counties in Baoding Prefecture, and each county has one hundred candidates, which together can exceed one thousand.

This is still the second hurdle of the boy's test. If you wait until the hospital test, you don't know what the situation will be.

It was Maoshi, and after waiting for a while in the square at the entrance, the side door was slowly pushed open, and several officials slowly came out from inside.Because it was far away, I couldn't see clearly, only the leader was wearing a red official robe, if I didn't guess wrong, it should be the fourth-rank magistrate of Baoding.Several other officials were wearing seventh-rank blue robes, and they should be the Xuezheng adults of the Xuezheng Yamen.

Soon, under the auspices of the magistrate, the boys from each county were called and entered the venue one by one according to the region.

The government of Qingyuan County is located in Baoding City, and it is ranked at the top, with a total of nearly 200 people.

Su Mu hurriedly squeezed into the team, moving forward step by step.

At this moment, suddenly, a tall and slender figure squeezed over, and softly shouted: "Zi Qiao, Zi Qiao."

Su Mu was startled, and looked back, whoever it was if it wasn't Hu Ying.Her height of 1.7 meters is very conspicuous among the crowd of ancient people. In the light, her face is as white as a piece of paper.

A woman appeared on the imperial examination field. Hearing this cry, the other scholars stepped aside, looked at Hu Ying with strange eyes, and then began to discuss in a low voice.

Between Su Mu and Hu Ying, a corridor suddenly opened up.

Su Mu felt very embarrassed, so he could only bite the bullet and walked up, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"Zi Qiao, that matter... I already knew about that matter. Daddy said so... our Hu family is sorry for you..." Before he could finish speaking, tears were already in his eyes.

It's okay if she didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, Su Mu became annoyed, and said coldly: "Miss Hu, there is nothing to be sorry for, I am just a accountant in your warehouse, and I get paid for my work. , a matter of loyalty to the emperor. If you can get along, stay together, if you don't get along, I'll find another place to live."

Hu Ying gritted her teeth: "That's right, with Ziqiao's talent and learning, no matter where he goes, he will be regarded as a guest of honor. But, after all... After all, after living in our warehouse for such a long time, Daddy is also a little reluctant to part with you. Daddy did this well No, now that I have figured it out, I know I was wrong. Ziqiao, can you not leave?"

Speaking such embarrassing words in front of so many people, Hu Ying's heart beat wildly, and she felt that she was about to lose her breath.

After the big man returned to the warehouse covered in mud, Hu Ying knew that her father would not join the Hu family because she was afraid that Su Mu would pass the government examination. Fame.

After hearing that Su Mu had escaped from the Baihu House, Dad even wanted to give the house and storehouse to the Su family as a dowry.

The news hit Hu Ying like a bolt from the blue.

A month ago, when she heard that Su Mu was going to join the Hu family as a son-in-law, and that Su Mu was an idiot, she was still quite reluctant.However, the important matter of marriage is the order of the parents, and the matchmaker's words, as a daughter's family, can only bear it silently.

But ever since she saw Su Mu in the back garden, she was surprised to find that this Su Ziqiao spoke in a witty and narrow manner, and at first glance he looked like a strange elf, and he looked a little bit stupid.

And those shouts of "beauty" made her even more ashamed and annoyed, but there was a faint joy in her heart.

When the big event happened in the Hu family and Su Mu used means to reverse the completely collapsed situation, Ms. Hu was shocked to find out that her future husband is such a character.

These days, she was happy and proud, but she was worried in her heart.Would such an accomplished man be willing to be the Hu family's son-in-law?

The answer is definitely "impossible".

She cried and quarreled at home for a long time, and even forced her to die, which made her father temporarily give up the idea of ​​going to the Su family to propose a marriage, and then hurried over, just wanting to tell Su Mu about it, so that he can take the exam with peace of mind. Hu Ying does not have the extravagant hope of joining the Hu family in the future.

The status of the daughter of a military family is already extremely low, so why would an outstanding young talent be willing to degenerate and step in the door?

"This is fate!" Before coming here, she had already cried a lot at home, knowing that this marriage has become farther and farther away from her from this moment on, far away from Gao Tianyun, and can no longer be touched.

But when people saw Su Mu, for some reason, the words turned into persuasion.Maybe in her mind, no matter whether she and Su Mu can become a family in the future, as long as she can see him every day, it is enough.

The two were talking like this, and the examinees who were watching at the side heard Miss Hu call Su Mu "Su Ziqiao", and suddenly buzzed and commotion: "Is this person Su Ziqiao?"

"Isn't Su Ziqiao the newly promoted talent in Baoding Prefecture? His poem is really good. Why did he come to take the exam today?"

"By the way, who is this woman, so tall?"

"Maybe it's Su Ziqiao's flirtatious crime committed outside. It's a real celebrity's own flirtatiousness."

"Oh!" With a sound, everyone had knowing smiles on their faces.

Hearing what Hu Ying said, Su Mu became even more angry.When he thought that his fame and reputation would be ruined by Hu Baihu, and he almost became their son-in-law, if it was a fait accompli, his good life would be over, and he would never see the hope of turning around again in this life.

I couldn't help but sneered: "Miss Hu's words are so eloquent and unreasonable. If I don't leave, I won't be sent into the bridal chamber by your Hu family to be your family's son-in-law. It's too late to hide! If I didn't run so fast yesterday , you are still locked in the dungeon at this moment, and you can’t come to take the exam! From then on, I have nothing to do with your Hu family. Su Mu is a man with clear grievances and grievances. Prisoner."

Hearing Su Mu say this, Hu Ying's body trembled violently.

"The son-in-law!"

"what!"

Immediately, all the examinees around shouted at the same time, and someone shouted: "I know this woman, Gao Cheng is like this, who else in Baoding City is Hu Baihu's daughter? How bold, how dare a lowly military household Want a scholar to insert the door backwards for his house?"

"Shameless, detain candidates and insult my holy family, report this matter to the government, and let Xuezheng be the master!"

For a time, the whole world was full of noise.

"Wow!" Suddenly, a woman's cry sounded, and then someone rushed up, "Young master, young master, I found you. I waited at home for a few days, and went to the warehouse to ask, but they ignored me. Wow, Young master, I thought you weren't coming to take the exam? I'm not at ease today, so I came to have a look, and I found you."

Su Mu was startled, and looked over, it was Xiaodie who came, the little girl was carrying a huge test basket, her thin body was squeezed to and fro in the crowd: "Master, your test basket."

Seeing that she was sweating profusely and had a worried face, Su Mu was deeply moved: it is this little girl who is caring to me, Su Mu.

He stepped forward to support Xiaodie, and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, how could I miss the exam, look, am I here?" Tears on her face.

Xiaodie cried even harder: "It's good if you come, it's good if you come." She pressed her little head against Su Mu's chest.

Seeing this scene, Hu Ying knew that Su Mu had a deep relationship with this little girl, she felt a sense of sadness in her heart, and her body shook.

Xiaodie suddenly struggled away from Su Mu's arms, walked up to Hu Ying, spat on the ground with a "bah", and cursed: "What a vicious woman, even if you want to marry my young master, you have to look at yourself Is it worthy of my status? A slut from a military family also fantasizes about having a gentleman from a scholarly family. Not only that, but also wants my young master to marry. Really, the toad wants to eat swan meat."

Hearing these menacing words, Hu Ying took a few steps back one after another, tears streaming down her face, she looked at Su Mu, "Zi Qiao, I, Hu Ying, came here today just to tell you that I have already convinced Daddy that I will not do it again." Go to the Su family to hire...Zi Qiao, Zi Qiao, I don't ask you to forgive me, I just hope you don't hold grudges against me, isn't that okay?"

Seeing Hu Ying's tears, Su Mu's heart suddenly felt sour, and he was speechless.

It seems that Ms. Hu has made Hu Baihu dispel the idea of ​​letting herself marry.

This made Su Mu heave a long sigh of relief. If Hu Shun has been thinking about him and collude with the third uncle, it will be really difficult to deal with.

He sighed and was about to say something.

Suddenly, the magistrate sternly shouted: "What are you doing, you don't want to enter the examination room?"

Such a big movement here has already alarmed the examiners.

Liu Zhifu saw that Su Mu was surrounded by two women, and suddenly became furious: "You bastard, who are you? The imperial examination is a national ceremony of ethics and talent. What a solemn and solemn occasion, you brought the woman here. Here are the people." ,Get out!"

Su Mu was shocked, he didn't expect this to happen like this.

Hastily stepped forward and bowed: "Master Futai, student Su Mu, this matter... this matter..."

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
