Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

After Duan Jiong left Jiao Fang's mansion, after returning home, because it was a bit late, he naturally couldn't help being nagged by his wife again.

It is said that the family is about to run out of food, and you only have so much salary a month, and the child is growing up, but there is not enough to eat.But you are fine, you still think about spending time and drinking outside, otherwise, how could you smell of alcohol.

When it came to mourning, Governor Duan's wife still shed tears.He complained that if he knew this official was doing such a poor job, he might as well stay in his hometown in Gansu. After all, he still has a house and land, and he is a local tyrant.

Ever since I married into your Duan's family, I thought I was entering a famous family, but I didn't want to have a good day.

Duan Jiong is a serious scholar, and he is extremely strict with his family.In the past, if this kind of situation was encountered during the day, it would have happened long ago, and then there would be a lot of noise.

Today, he was in a very good mood suddenly, and said with a smile: "It's just a small governor of the General Administration, and he doesn't have two dollars. I don't want to be a husband. I just wait for the Jinshi exam and the seventh-rank official. Mrs. Jiao Fang seeks a decent official position, madam, just wait and enjoy your blessings!"

Duan Jiong's family was stunned: "Sister, it's a good thing for you not to be an official. Normally, you should go back to Tianshui's hometown. Why do you still think about taking the imperial examination? Even if you go for the exam, you may not be able to pass it. It was a delay of one or two months for no reason. I have no money, this delay, I am afraid that even the travel expenses to go home will be gone.”

Duan Jiong smiled lightly: "Who said it might not be possible?"

That night, Duan Jiong tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Thoughts flooded my mind one after another like a tide.It was joy and worry again, and it was completely chaotic.

The whole world knows what kind of person the current emperor is.That is a ridiculous nonsense that can do anything.

If the facts are as Master Zhang Cai said, Su Mu is the most trusted person in front of the emperor.With Emperor Zhengde's temperament, if he was not sure, he would leak the problem to Su Mu in advance to reward him for his merits.

Because this matter is related to Jinshang's reputation, if the news leaks out, I don't know how many people's heads will fall to the ground.Moreover, although Su Mu is poor now, he really doesn't pay attention to the few thousand taels we promised.As long as he is a Jinshi and becomes a high official, is he still short of money?At that time, there is no need for him to speak up, some people will send money to the door.

However, since Wu Shiqi is Su Mu's future father-in-law.That day, Mr. Wu lost his mind because of the exam, so it was not surprising that Su Mu told Mr. Wu the exam questions in order to save him.

That being said, everything fits right.

"These two, it seems that they are going to be Jinshi for sure!"

Suddenly, a strong jealousy rose from the bottom of my heart, and Duan Jiong couldn't help but hate: "Why don't I have this luck, why don't I have a noble person to help?"

"It must be true that Su Mu has the questions for this session of the exam. In this way, as long as I can get the questions, I will definitely win."

Thinking of this, Duan Jiong suddenly sat up, and suddenly flashed in front of his eyes the scenery when he was awarded a Jinshi, put on a horse bun flower, and lit up Ma Kua Street.Due to my special relationship with Jiao Shilang in the Ministry of Officials, as long as I am selected as a Jinshi, I can't choose a good position.Later life is another scene.

It was already dawn, and the spring rain was pattering outside, dripping into the gutter under the eaves.

Looking at the crude furnishings in the house, Duan Jiong gritted his teeth: I, Duan Jiong, don't want to live this kind of life anymore.Su Mu, I'm going to decide on the test questions you have in hand.

at all costs!

This time he couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he put on his clothes and got up, read a book for an hour, and it was almost the time, so he hurried to the Secretary of the General Administration.

After a sleepless night, Duan Jiong's eyes were full of red threads, so he came early.

Mo Daojun travels early, and there are even early pedestrians.

Strange to say, apart from Su Mu, the other four governors of the Experience Department also came early, only Mr. Su Mu and Wu Shiqi had not yet arrived.

Seeing them all listless, they obviously didn't sleep well.

As soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, he saw Governor Li come forward, cupped his hands, murmured a few times, and then said to him with shame on his face: "What Governor Duan said yesterday makes sense, a gentleman should act frankly and frankly." , how can you think of taking a shortcut. After thinking about it all night, I feel ashamed in my heart."

At the beginning of his speech, Governor Niu and the others were also ashamed: "Thank you, brother Duan, for giving me a big blow. I have waited and read so many years of sage books in vain, but when things come to an end, I am confused, ashamed, ashamed!"

Duan Jiong looked at them in astonishment, speechless.

Governor Li whispered again: "Brother Duan, what happened yesterday was embarrassing, please don't say it."

The others also laughed awkwardly.

Only then did Duan Jiong understand the intention of what they said to him just now, and he was very disdainful in his heart, and said with a sneer: "You really think that what Su Mu has is fake, do you really believe what he said?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Duan Jiong's tone was wrong.

After a while, Governor Niu yelled in dissatisfaction: "Brother Duan has something to say, just say it, don't hesitate. Although Ziqiao is a master of poetry, but he came from a humble background. Maybe we really misunderstood him. How could he know that? What? Ziqiao is a good character, brother Duan, you can't ruin your reputation."

Speaking of this, a blood vessel throbbed on Governor Niu's forehead.

The other governors were also very dissatisfied when they thought of Su Mu's kindness and loyalty to everyone.

"Haha, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, you wait for a frog in a well, but you don't know how big the sky is outside!" Duan Jiong was also annoyed, he laughed and pointed at the crowd and shouted: "You only see that Su Mu is poor now, but you don't know how big the sky is outside!" What kind of background does he have? I guess you don't know, Mr. Wu is actually Su Mu's father-in-law, and he will marry his daughter when Su Ziqiao becomes a Jinshi, right?"

"What, Su Mu is Lord Wu's future son-in-law?" Everyone was in an uproar.

Governor Niu also asked: "What's the big background, why can't I understand Duan Jiong?"

"Su Mu...hehe." Duan Jiong lowered his voice, and briefly told everyone the news he heard from Zhang Cai yesterday.

This astonishing news immediately made everyone speechless, and the hall was so quiet that the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

I don't know how long it took before Governor Li tremblingly said: "Brother Duan, if Ziqiao is really a close minister of the emperor, I'm afraid that... the things he has in hand are real... But, the matter is really important. If it were me, I'm afraid I don't dare to disclose it, but what should I do?"

Hearing his question, everyone turned their attention to Governor Duan.

Duan Jiong snorted: "Su Mu didn't have the guts to leak it, but the other person knew about it, so there might be nothing he can do about it."

"Who?"

"Master Wu."

This is the breakthrough that Duan Jiong chose.
