Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"I'm done." Seeing that other colleagues were indifferent to him, Su Mu stopped talking nonsense, and sat back in his seat to busy himself with the matter at hand.

Things have to be taken slowly, and some preparations have to be made in advance before they can be done.

In the afternoon, he was still doing errands, and Su Mu didn't say a word of nonsense, so he had to do his own work well.Even if it was someone else's answer, he nodded and agreed with a smile on his face.

The day passed so smoothly, and when he returned home, Su Mu asked Xiaodie: "Xiaodie, do you still have the old clothes I used when I was studying in Baoding?"

"What's wrong?" Xiaodie asked curiously.

Su Mu: "Find them all, my master will wear them to the yamen tomorrow."

"Ah, those clothes are very torn, master, it's not that our family has no money, so there's no need to wear them anymore?" Xiaodie's eyes widened in surprise: "Master is a hobbyist, I'm planning to get those rags Going to send someone off!"

Su Mu smiled: "So it's all there, take it out."

"Do you really want to wear it?"

Su Mu naturally wouldn't let Tong Xiaodie explain the situation, he just said: "I have sensitive skin recently, I want to wear old clothes, it's more comfortable, don't ask too much, just take them out."

"Okay." Hearing what Su Mu said, Xiaodie said, "If the master is not in good health, you might as well invite a doctor back home."

"No need, it's a small problem, just take care of it for a while." Su Mu said again: "I have already seen the doctor, and the doctor said that the diet should be light, especially lunch, and there should be no meat, otherwise it will be a disaster. serious illness."

Xiaodie was shocked: "A while ago, the master's diet was too oily and watery, and he would not enjoy himself without meat. If he eats like this, he will easily go wrong. It's my fault, it's my fault."

In the early morning of the second day, Su Mu put on the clothes he wore when he was at his worst when he traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

Although it was covered with a brand new official robe, layers of patches could still be seen on the neckline and cuffs.

Old Mr. Wu was sharp-eyed and was taken aback: "Su Mu, why are you dressed like this?"

Su Mu: "Last night, when I was studying, I happened to read the section about Su Qin's head hanging from a beam and his buttocks struggling to study in adversity. I felt it in my heart. Whether it is studying or being a person, adversity produces talents. Life is rich, but it is a big obstacle to progress. Reading , Do things, and be a person, you have to face up to difficulties. If you have difficulties, you must work hard; if you don’t have difficulties, you must work hard when you create difficulties. From today on, Su Mu will be a simple meal to sharpen your mind.”

Wu Shiqi knew that his son-in-law-to-be was a person who likes to enjoy life and pay attention to the taste of life, so he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.I wanted to teach him some words like "Heaven will send a great task to the people, you must first work hard and work hard".However, Su Mu's knowledge and articles are good, and his work is very capable, so it's hard to say it.

Seeing Su Mu's personality changed today, Wu Shiqi smiled gratifiedly, stroked his long beard, and said repeatedly: "You can teach a child, a child can be taught."

Su Mu secretly rolled his eyes from behind.

In addition to carrying a food box in his hand, he also held a small blue cloth parcel.

In Wu Shiqi's eyes, Su Mu is his son-in-law, so he naturally takes care of everything, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Su Mu, what are you holding?"

"Zhu Zi Annotated the Four Books, isn't this the exam that will be taken soon? Xiaosheng is going to read a few pages in a leisurely way."

"Children can be taught, the old man is very pleased."

……

I have to say that it is really uncomfortable to wear old clothes, the key is the cold!

It turns out that the cotton cloth of the Ming Dynasty would shrink when exposed to water.When worn, it will harden.The snow fell heavily, and the stiff cotton clothes were against the skin, and it was very cold.

When he arrived at the Department of General Administration, Su Mu hurriedly drank a big cup of hot tea before he regained his composure.

Even so, it was still a little uncomfortable.

I don't know what happened today, the floor heating effect is not very good.The hall also has a large space, so a stove was built, and the silver charcoal inside was burning hotly. Governors Weng, Guan, Li, and Niu were idle and bored, so they sat around the stove and ate home-cooked meals that were not salty or bland.

Duan Jiong went to work in the archives, but he wasn't there.

Su Mu had already figured out how to get rid of this group of governors yesterday and divert their attention from the daily affairs of the General Administration Department. How could he miss this opportunity to get in touch with his colleagues.

He walked forward with a smile and sat next to Governor Weng: "Master Weng, please squeeze in, it's really cold, I'll join in the fun."

Several other governors gave Su Mu a dissatisfied look. Governor Weng is a kind man, and moved the stool beside him: "Master Su, please."

Su Mu: "It's been a while since Su Mu came to experience the department. I'm very grateful for the care of all the adults. Or, after work, the younger brother will be the host and have a meal together?"

"No, I'm not free." Governor Li refused politely.

He was so direct, everyone was stunned, the atmosphere immediately became awkward, and no one spoke.

Su Mu didn't take it seriously, and murmured: "It's so cold, it's really unbearable."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the fire.

The hall was very brightly lit with candles.As soon as Su Mu stretched out his hand, everyone saw that the cuffs of his close-fitting cotton robe under his official uniform were torn, and it was obviously yellowed, obviously it was old.

At the beginning, everyone just looked at it and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Because of the unharmonious factor of sumu, everyone didn't talk about sex, and they all kept on the fire silently.

After a while, Su Mu stood up and said with a smile: "Su Mu has gotten a little fat recently, and he has gained a lot of weight. He has been on fire for a long time, but he is sweating a lot. It is so hot that he feels uncomfortable."

Governor Weng felt that it was a bit uncomfortable for everyone not to speak, so he smiled and said: "Master Su, you are young and strong."

"No, no, it's unbearably hot. Mr. Weng, I have to take off my official robe, otherwise I'm going to die of heat here. I don't know, is it in compliance with the rules?"

Governor Weng: "I think it might be disheveled, but we don't have anyone here on weekdays, so I'm not afraid."

"That's good." Su Mu quickly took off his official uniform, and sat back down.

As soon as he took off his coat, everyone was stunned: This... is really, too broken!

I saw that the close-fitting cotton coat on Su Mu's body was covered with patches from the collar to the hem.

In particular, the two hand-turned corners are layered on top of each other like an archery target.

A few days ago, Su Mu still looked like a rich man, but in a blink of an eye, he seemed to be a different person, appearing extremely poor.

However, Su Mu still stood there with his body upright, but instead of showing a trace of shabby and down-and-out because of poverty, he showed a unique temperament.

Governor Weng couldn't help but said, "This clothes..."
