Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Now it is the end of May in the third year of Zhengde, and the weather has become extremely hot.

The roads in ancient times were very bad, and northern Shaanxi was a plateau, and there were no waterways to go.This road is difficult.

It took almost 20 days to enter Ningxia.

At this moment, in the Yinchuan Basin, it is the season when the warbler flies and the grass grows, and the crops in the field are lush and growing very well.

Ningxia was at the forefront of the Ming Dynasty's attack on the northern nomads. Out of ten people, three were military households.In the small Yinchuan Basin, more than a dozen military agencies including Ningxia Wei, Ningxia Qianwei, Ningxia Zuozhongtunwei, Ningxia Zhongwei, Ningxia Backguard, and Lingzhou Institute, plus regular frontier troops, can be said to be full of soldiers.

If nothing else, most of the well-growing crops in front of us are the property of the army.

Seeing the military households farming in the field, Su Mu's heart moved.

Such a rich land is really stuffed into the south of the Yangtze River. It is much better to be a military officer here than in the interior.No wonder Liu Jin's act of clearing Zhang's army to settle the land aroused such a big reaction here, and finally turned into a big rebellion.

Without him, profit dictates.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Whoever touches my cake, Lord Jun will naturally fight you desperately.

After entering the Yinchuan Basin, the road finally became flat and went very smoothly.

Su Mu finally entered Yinchuan at the end of June, it was wrong, there was no Yinchuan at this time, it was called Ningxia.Ningxia City is a large army city, full of military institutions, but there is no school and government office, and the children of military households are not eligible to participate in the imperial examination, so naturally no one in Su Mu received them.

He came to Ningxia with a big plan this time, and he didn't want to disturb too many people, so he lived in the post station with his entourage in a low-key manner.

Not to mention, the post stations under the jurisdiction of the army are much more advanced than those of the local government.

The inside is very clean and the place is spacious.Opening the window, one can see a clear river with snow-white reeds growing beside the river, wild ducks and egrets flying up and down. It seems that it is hard to believe that this is the central area of ​​Ningxia City.

In fact, there are only tens of thousands of people in the city of Ningxia today, and most of them are officers of military institutions. It is not a commercial and administrative city like the mainland.

After entering the station, Su Mu sent Zhao Hulu to invite Hu Shun, while he sat in the house reading a book and waited quietly.

This road is too difficult, and Su Mu also feels tired.

He also couldn't stay in Ningxia for too long, and he had to rush back to Xi'an to preside over the provincial examination in Shaanxi Province after he settled with Hu Shun.There is still a month to go, so it should be enough time.

After reading half of the book, seeing the sky getting darker and impatient, he heard a rush of footsteps from the yard outside, and then Zhao Hulu told: "Master, Mr. Hu is here."

As soon as the words were finished, the door of the room was kicked open, and Hu Shun, who was wearing a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, walked in majesticly, followed by two warriors in brocade clothes.

"Haha, son-in-law, you're here too. Speaking of which, we, Weng and son-in-law, haven't met each other since our farewell in the capital before the Spring Festival last year. Although we are both in Shaanxi, we have no chance to meet." Hu Shunda Smiling and sitting on a chair: "I don't know why you brought the letter to the old man. The old man planned to go back to the capital the day before yesterday. Hehe, I was so anxious to see my grandson that I was delayed by you."

I thought of my grandson whom I had never met.Oh, in terms of etiquette, it should be the grandson.Hu Jingli smiled brightly, and the flesh on his face became bright.

"You have also seen Yinger's letter, Mr. Taishan." Su Mu stood up, followed the etiquette of a junior, and gave a long bow: "Yinger also sent a letter to my son-in-law, and asked him to name the child. I wrote to her as well."

Hearing what Su Mu said, Hu Shun suddenly raised his vigilance and waved his hand.

The two subordinates he brought understood, retreated and closed the door.

Hu Shun's face became ugly, and he said angrily: "What name to choose is a matter for our Hu family, it is a matter for my grandfather. Su Mu, you brought the letter to the old man in such a hurry, did you see that the baby was a son? , Do you want to go back on your word? We have agreed that the children born to Yinger, regardless of gender, must be named Hu, and they must be called my grandpa. They are all from our Hu family! You don’t need much, and it’s useless to say anything .”

"One word from a gentleman, one whip. You and I signed a contract on this matter at the beginning. We Hu family heirs have a hard time, so there is no room for any concessions. Su Mu, the old man also knows that you are now prosperous, yes A popular person in front of Long Live Lord. Others can't provoke you, but nothing in this world can escape a word of reason. Even if this matter is brought to Long Live Lord, this old man will not be able to fulfill your wish! "

The more Hu Shun thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Yes, he and Su Mu have been in Shaanxi for half a year.Su Mu didn't come early and didn't come late, but he rushed all the way to Ningxia when Ying'er gave birth to a boy.

What a shrewd person he is, he immediately exploded, and blocked the opening as soon as he opened his mouth.

Hearing what Hu Shun said, Su Mu was angry and funny.

As a modern person, yes, he also cares about things like heirs and incense, but he is not too attached.Anyway, since I have many wives, I will definitely have many children in the future, so it's no big deal for a son to inherit the Hu family's business.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if the child takes the father's or mother's surname, they are all his own flesh and blood.

Hu Shun's words are purely to use the heart of the ancients to save the belly of the modern people.

Su Mu smiled slightly and nodded: "Master Taishan really guessed right, my son-in-law came to Ningxia this time, really for the sake of the child. Firstly, he came to tell Taishan the child's name, and secondly, it was also for the child's sake." plan ahead for the future.”

Seeing Su Mu laughing, Hu Shun's face turned livid, and he shouted: "Sure enough, Su Mu, Hu has something to say first, don't even think about it! Let's talk too much if we don't speculate, it really won't work, the emperor will come before you." Let’s talk about it, farewell!”

While talking, Huo stood up and was about to walk outside.

Su Mu grabbed him and said, "Boss Taishan, what are you in a hurry for? My son-in-law has not finished talking yet! I have already written back to Yinger. The son-in-law is the one who decides the name of the child. Hu Keji, as for the nickname , let you be a grandfather!"

"Hu Keji... what!" Hu Shun was stunned, looking at Su Mu in surprise.

When Su Mu nodded affirmatively, Hu Shun opened his mouth and laughed loudly, his heart hanging in the air finally fell to the ground: "Good name, good name, my son-in-law is indeed a trustworthy person, this name is good, Self-restraint and courtesy. I will give you a nickname, hehe, what should I choose?"

Hu Shun was in a dilemma, he scratched his head and turned around in the room, but he couldn't come up with a suggestion for a long time.

Su Mu was dazzled by his words, and finally couldn't help but said: "Master Taishan, come down and think about it slowly, I have another matter to discuss with you."
