Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Ms. Wu didn't speak any more, just smiled lightly, and exited the room with Xiaodie.

When there was no one else in the room, Hu Ying asked anxiously, "Su Mu, why are you so ill? You're all burnt out."

While speaking, he touched Su Mu's forehead heavily, and then opened his mouth to see his throat.

Su Mu was tormented by her, and couldn't help calling out weakly: "Be gentle, but I can't stand it."

"I'm sorry, I've never served anyone before." Hu Ying was a little shy and muttered, "It seems that no one in our Hu family has ever been sick since we were sensible. I really don't know how to take care of patients."

"You, sometimes you don't look like a woman." Su Mu smiled with difficulty.

Hu Ying snorted: "Su Mu, if you want me to imitate Miss Wu's delicate appearance, you might as well kill me. By the way, why did you call me here in such a hurry before? I thought it was a big deal I don’t think it’s just an ordinary wind and cold, which makes people worry for a long time. But it’s good, I, Hu Ying, don’t have to marry into your Su’s family in the future, otherwise I will face a Miss Wu all day long. With a scheming Xiaodie, Hu Ying must be wronged to death."

Although there was anger in his voice, Su Mu still vaguely felt that she cared for him, and couldn't help holding her hand again, and called out: "Sister, I came to you today, I just want to ask you In a word."

"You said."

"If, if one day I, Su Mu, suddenly think of retreating to the mountains and forests, are you willing to come with me?"

"Retiring to the mountains and forests, are you okay?" Hu Ying touched Su Mu's forehead roughly again, and smiled: "I read in the drama that most of these people who retire to the mountains and forests are old men in their seventies and eighties. 21?"

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble." Su Mu said so much just now, he was a little out of breath.

After thinking about it, he didn't know what to say next after Hu Ying made such a fuss just now.

After a few hesitation, he asked again, "Is your father okay?"

From Su Mu's point of view, if something happened in his examination room, there would definitely be news from Jin Yiwei.And Hu Shun is in charge of the experience hall, and presides over the confidential affairs of Jinyiwei. If there is a fraud case, he will naturally be the first to know, so it is just right to ask Hu Ying at this moment.

"It's okay!" Hu Ying sat down on the edge of the bed carelessly, picked up a wet towel and covered Su Mu's forehead, and said angrily: "Daddy has given up on the matter of heirs these days. Going to the yamen is to go back to the house to accompany his mother. However, the three women outside him refused to comply, and came to the door with their children in their arms. There was no way, Dad had to bring a large sum of money to send them away. "

Su Mu could imagine how embarrassed Hu Shun was at that time, and couldn't help but chuckle: "They are so brave, they dared to find the mansion where Jin Yiwei went through, aren't they afraid?"

"It's natural to be afraid of changing to someone else, but don't forget, they are the mothers of the daughters born by father. The servants in the house don't know how father treats the three babies. They are also the blood of the Hu family, so naturally they dare not make mistakes .It’s all right now, the three women got the money, and they all took their children back to the countryside, and vowed that they would never come to pester them in the future, and the matter has finally been settled.”

Su Mu sighed: "It's good, it's good!" He felt a little sympathetic to Hu Shun in his heart, Hu Ying and his wife were so powerful that they forced Hu Shun not to recognize his daughter born outside.In fact, the phenomenon of shrewd wives in the middle and late Ming Dynasty has become a social trend.This point is reflected in Ming Dynasty novels, such as "Awakening the World Marriage" and "Three Words and Shooting".

In fact, this phenomenon has something to do with the budding of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty, and social thinking used property to measure a person's social status.The economic base determines the superstructure. If the wife's family is powerful, the husband must feel that he is a dwarf.

Moreover, feudal ethics had been perfected by the Ming Dynasty, and the system of monogamy and multiple concubines was written into the law.The state also encourages family stability, and it is basically impossible for a husband to divorce his wife.

Because of this, the eldest wife who is in charge of a family's internal affairs has great power in the family, and the husband will also give up three points.

When Hu Shun was young, he was just a rascal. If he hadn't tested his wife, it would have been impossible for him to succeed his father-in-law as an officer of a hundred households.Naturally, he fears his wife like a tiger.

Of course, this was just Hu Shun's housework, and Su Mu came out to express sympathy for his future father-in-law, so there was no reason to intervene.As for the three daughters born to his father-in-law outside in the future, he couldn't even talk about sympathy. First of all, Hu Ying would not accept them.Besides, with Hu Shun's handwriting, they must have given them a lot of supplements.

After Su Mu sighed, he carefully asked: "Has your father gone to the Yamen today?"

"I've been working for a day, so I went home early."

"After returning home, what time is it?" Su Mu asked again.

"It's natural to rest after returning home, and it's time to apply now."

Looking at the sky outside, Su Mu didn't expect that he had slept for such a long time, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening Beijing time.

Are the papers for this session of the test finished?

Was my paper found wrong by the examiner?

Su Mu's heart began to beat violently again, and he asked with difficulty: "Is there no one from the yamen to look for?"

"No, Dad can be regarded as a person who can talk in Jinyi's pro-military yamen now. If there is nothing important, the people below dare not come and disturb you. Su Mu, why do you ask such a question?" Hu Ying gave Su Mu a strange look .

"It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it!" Su Mu took a long breath and thought: Maybe the examiners haven't discovered it yet!

But, can paper wrap fire?

Su Mu had a strong urge, he just wanted to jump up from the bed, call the three most important women in his life, go out of the city overnight, and disappear into the vast world.

But his body was so soft that he couldn't get up anyway.

Keeping turning his head to look at the night outside the window, Su Mu knew that no matter what the final result was, the truth would come out at dawn.

According to the rules of the examination room, there is still an hour until the final ranking of the examination will be released.The list will be released at the time of dawn, and as soon as the sun breaks, as long as you win, the post of good news will be sent to you as soon as possible.

However, this night is so long.

Just as he was thinking, a mouthful of bitter medicine poured down his throat.

The whole night, Su Mu seemed to be asleep, and Hu Ying beside him kept changing the wet towel on his forehead.

Although Su Mu was confused, he could see clearly that there were two slim figures dangling outside the house.

No need to ask, it must be Ms. Wu and Xiaodie, they were worried about secretly observing Su Mu's situation outside, and they also stayed up all night.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky outside suddenly brightened.

At this time, there was a loud commotion outside, and before Su Mu fully woke up, Zhao Hulu stumbled into the room, unable to utter a word: "Master, master, Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei..."

Su Mu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and jumped up with an ouch.
