Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

At this moment, there was a maid running over from outside.

Su Mu knew this person, she was the personal maid who was sent to serve Wu Shiqi and Miss Wu.

He hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

The servant girl gave a blessing: "I have seen the master, I have seen the elder master, my wife said, the elder master Wu is not at the house, if something happens later, she will talk like a woman, but she doesn't know what to do, so she will come and wait for the news with the master. "

At this moment, Miss Wu walked in with another girl.

The servants of Su Mu's family came forward to salute one after another, Miss Wu smiled and nodded repeatedly, looking calm and decent.

After entering the hall, Miss Wu was slightly taken aback when she saw a stranger in the hall, and then said a blessing to Hu Shun: "I have met you, sir."

Then he said, "Zi Qiao, since you have guests here, I'll go back first."

Su Mu: "No, no, it's not an outsider. This Mr. Hu is Ying'er's father."

He introduced Miss Wu and Hu Shun to each other.

Ms. Wu was not hypocritical, she responded softly, and stood behind Su Mu.

Just now when people in Su Mu's family called Miss Wu one by one, Hu Ying was very upset, she couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then looked at her sharply.

Miss Wu just smiled slightly, which made Hu Ying lose her temper.

The appearance of Ms. Wu made the atmosphere a bit awkward. For a while, everyone didn't know what to say.

Originally, as a link between everyone, Su Mu should ease this boring atmosphere.But he has something on his mind, so there is no interest in talking.

He couldn't help but keep looking up and looking outside, thinking in his mind when the examination papers would come out.

The hall was so quiet, the servants outside also shut their mouths wisely.But they didn't leave, and they all turned their heads to look at the gate at the same time, waiting for the news about to come back.

The weather is good today, it is March in Yangchun, and the sun is rising into the sky little by little.According to speculation, it is estimated that it has reached ten o'clock Beijing time in later generations.

Su Mu became more and more nervous, he clenched his fist tightly, his hands were full of sweat.

I just feel that my body is completely stiff.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of horseshoes.

Another voice from Hu Jinxue was shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the Beiya is on business, idlers avoid it!"

The horse's hooves seemed so eager, the place where Su Mu lived was very secluded, surrounded by the courtyards of officials and officials.Therefore, the movement of the big man outside was clearly audible.

"I'm back, I'm back at last!" Hu Shun suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Let's go and have a look!" It was too late to say that, and Hu Ying had rushed out first.

Su Mu trembled, suddenly felt dizzy after losing blood, and couldn't help but stagger.At this moment, a pair of hands reached out to support her, and when she looked back, it was Miss Wu who was smiling: "Zi Qiao, it doesn't matter whether you hit or not."

The door opened with a bang, and when I looked over, I saw Hu Jinxue striding in with two Jinyi guards and a few people who looked like yamen servants: "Zi Qiao, Zi Qiao, great joy!"

Then he quickly pulled the yamen servant next to him, causing him to stagger, and even the pheasant feather on his hat was crooked.

"My lord, if you don't want to spare the little one!" The yamen servant was obviously tossed by the fierce and domineering Jin Yiwei on the way, and his face was terrified.

Hu Jinxue smiled and said: "Stop being wordy, go in quickly, and your benefits will be indispensable at that time. I said that you, a bird man, are lucky. Do you know where this place is and who is the owner? You can go to another house to announce the good news, and you will also be happy." But the happy money of a few taels of silver, here today, is worth running to ten houses!"

Before the words were finished, the servants in Su Mu's mansion gave out a cheer.

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

In the imperial city, the General Administration Department, the Experience Hall.

Tired, really tired, having stayed up all night for two consecutive nights, Wu Shiqi's eyes were covered with red silk.

His hands were already a little cramped from holding the pen for a long time.

Several book offices carried documents in and out of the hall, trotting all the way.

Ever since the governors of the Experience Department of the General Administration Department resigned collectively to take part in the examination, the entire experience hall has been stranded.If it wasn't for Wu Shiqi who couldn't stop running to the Ministry of Officials to sell fakes, and was sent back to the Secretary of General Administration, I don't know what kind of chaos will be here.

You may not feel the benefits of the Qingshui Yamen like the Communication Office and the Letters and Calls Office of the Secretary of General Administration on weekdays.But once the people inside gave up their picks, the sophisticated machine of the Ming Dynasty immediately began to malfunction.

The first aspect of Ming Dynasty politics is to check and balance each other, and the second is to pay attention to procedures.Nothing can be done until the procedure is completed, and the secret service of the Secretary of General Administration is a necessary part of the procedure.

It's not that Wu Shiqi didn't want to see the list.In fact, Zhongjinshi is a sure thing.That being the case, why bother.In contrast, it is most important to stand on the last post.

In his heart, Mr. Wu felt that it was a shameful thing for him to cheat in the examination room, and his reputation was also very bad in the past.Because of this, he wanted to appear loyal to the king in front of the world, which was also a kind of hypnosis for himself.

In the past, with Su Mu around, Wu Shiqi was a hands-off shopkeeper no matter whether he was in the Changlu Salt Department or the General Administration Department.Now that he is doing things himself, he finds that it is not as simple as he imagined.

There are too many backlogs in the past half a month, and when they are dealt with, he is almost exhausted, and there are many mistakes.

The superiors also kept reprimanding him, which made the old man feel ashamed.

At this time, Mr. Wu suddenly regretted a little: I knew what I was going to do in the official department, so I might as well relax at home to recuperate. Anyway, as long as you are a Jinshi, the imperial court will naturally send someone else.

When he was full of bitterness, an official came in angrily, threw the general volume on the case in front of Wu Shiqi with a "Peng", and shouted angrily: "Master Wu, is this your job?"

The loud voice made Mr. Wu tremble in shock, and when he looked up, it was Zuo Tongzheng Huacha, the Secretary of the General Administration.

Wu Shiqi asked suspiciously: "Hua Zuo Tongzheng, what happened?"

Mr. Hua looked angry: "You submitted this case, who gave you this power?"

Wu Shiqi opened the dossier and took a look, but it turned out that it was a note written by Mr. Hua.It doesn't matter the content of the article, it's just a little thing.The crux of the problem is that the header was wrongly written. Normally, these correspondence documents have to be passed through the experience hall.If any omissions are found, the experience hall will report to Huacha.

Mr. Wu was too busy and confused, so he didn't pay attention, so he just sent it out.As a result, the higher-ups found that something was wrong, so they returned it.
