Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

It occurred to me that my teacher's daughter had actually lived in my home for several months, and that the girl seemed to like me very much.

Just now, everything that Caixin said fell into the ears of the teacher, maybe the old teacher would think that I thanked Naturally for my lack of virtue, and probably seduced a woman from a good family.

This misunderstanding is huge.

Xie Ranran felt apprehensive and was about to speak.

But Su Mu said a shocking sentence: "Ninny, do you like to thank Nature?"

"Father, you are not allowed to talk nonsense." The daughter was so ashamed that she lowered her head.

Xie Ranran was horrified, he knelt down with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "Teacher..."

Su Mu chuckled, took Nannan's hand, and said softly: "Ninny, let's go, come home with me."

He turned back to Xie Ziran and shouted: "Xie Ziran, I will talk about it when I come to see me some other day."

"Okay, I can finally go home. Daddy, can I take my maid back home?" Nannie jumped up happily.

"Chongzui, this name is so weird. If you want a maid, it doesn't matter if I buy a few for you. She is from Xie Ranran's family. If you bring it over like this, she may not agree."

"Of course I'm willing to rush to the mouth, and my daughter asked Brother Xie's family to beg for someone, would he still be willing?"

When Nannan went out, she looked back at Xie Ranran, pursed her lips, and then ran away blushing.

Taking his daughter out of Xie Ranran's house, Su Mu was not in a hurry, and just walked and talked with his daughter on the street in a leisurely manner.

It took a long time to return to the courtyard of the sojourn, and the servants all knew that the young lady of the elder's family was coming, and they all ran in a hurry like a fire in the dark night.

Those who clean up the house clean up the house, and those who prepare the food prepare to eat.

Everyone was also wondering, why did Mr. Su's daughter come all the way from the capital, and it was still in the middle of the night?

For everyone, the academicians of the Hanlin Academy are high above the sky, almost like they are in the clouds. Their status is humble, so naturally they dare not ask.

When the father and daughter met, they naturally had a lot to say. Su Mu was concerned about Mei Niang, so he took her into the study and asked urgently, "Where is your mother?"

It's okay if he didn't ask, but when he asked, Nannan began to cry softly again: "Mother... Mother... I'm afraid she's gone..."

Su Mu's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you're doing well, I'm afraid you're gone. Please make it clear."

Seeing her father's ugly face, Nanna said, "Father, Mother... It was a year ago that Nannan was abducted from Mother. At that time, Grandpa and Uncle had no money, so they said they would buy Mother to someone else as a wife." It's been such a long time, I guess she's already married, maybe she's no longer in Shanxi..."

"What!" Su Mu slapped the table suddenly: "How could this happen?"

Seeing Su Mu's expression like this, my daughter was a little scared, she grinned and was about to cry.

Su Mu said with a sullen face, "Sister, please continue. Don't be afraid, no matter what the result is, I can bear it."

"Yes, Daddy." Nannu choked up: "When I was in Cangzhou, Nannan was still young and didn't understand anything. When Mother returned to the inn that day, she packed up her things and took her away. I asked Mother where she was going, and Mother replied Said to go back to Zhending’s hometown. My daughter asked again, why didn’t I wait for my father.”

"Mother said again that we can't wait anymore, that Daddy is busy and told us to go back to our hometown first, and he will come to find us later. Since Mother said so, she kept the post written by Daddy and brought a few books with her. I left Cangzhou with my mother and headed west."

"This road is very difficult. At the beginning, it went smoothly, but after walking for more than ten days, I saw houses that were washed away by water everywhere, and there was a patch of yellow and sand everywhere. Walking and walking , if you are not careful, you can see the body that was swollen by the water cannon."

Having said that, the girl's body trembled, and her small face turned pale.

Su Mu felt a great pain in his heart, and put his hand on Nannan's shoulder.

Feeling the heat of Su Mu's palm, Nannan's mood calmed down a lot: "When I get back to Zhending's hometown, the situation... Nannan can't tell that this is home at all. The whole village is covered by yellow sand, and I can't find it anymore." I saw a person. Crows were flying all over the sky, quacking and screaming, which made people feel flustered."

"I can't find a house or land, and my mother has no money. Our mother and I have not eaten for three days. We are so hungry that we can't stand it. Both my mother and my daughter are as soft as cotton, and I can't walk anymore when I sit on the ground." Afterwards, Nannan ran to the field to search for a long time. God was so pitiful that I finally saw a watermelon growing in the field. In such a flood, the melon seedling was not washed away, and it still produced fruit. Although it was only a fist The size and taste are also bland. But Nannan thinks that melon is really delicious, so delicious! Thanks to this melon, we finally did not starve to death."

"After eating the melon, I found out that it was picked from someone else's field. Mother was very upset, and even slapped my daughter, saying that she had no ambition to be a thief. As she talked, mother started to cry, and then my daughter cried too."

"The people in my hometown were so dead that they walked around, and they all scattered. They walked on the road for a day without meeting a single person."

Hearing this, Su Mu couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken crowing for a thousand miles."

Indeed, after the flood was really determined, the imperial court allocated funds for relief.But how can the mobilization ability and efficiency of ancient governments compare with modern society?

Nannan: "At that time, Nannan asked mother why she had come back to her hometown to starve after living so well in Cangzhou. Mother didn't answer, but just cried. At this time, a man came suddenly on the road, who seemed to know mother. After meeting us, he said that he was going to flee to Henan, and asked if we would go with him. Mother just shook her head, and the man said that he had seen grandpa and uncle a while ago, and said that he was going to Datong to seek a living there. If we are willing Going is also a way to survive. Unfortunately, it is too far from here to Shanxi, and we are afraid that we will not be able to go there."

"Hearing he said that there was news about grandpa and uncle, my mother's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again. She said that if she didn't have any money on her, how could she get there?"

"The man had no choice but to sigh and walk away with a cane."

"Mother said, he couldn't make it to Henan. My daughter was wondering why she couldn't make it."

"Mother said, that man is a distant relative of my family, and the whole family of more than ten people was washed away by the water. Look at him, he has also been hungry for many days, and he has no strength to live." The little girl's face is full of horror: " Up to now, Nannan still remembers the pale face of that relative, and she will never forget it."

"And then, how did you get there?" Su Mu felt sad and couldn't help asking.

Nannan stretched out her already slender hands and rolled up her sleeves: "Dad, you forgot, didn't you buy a bracelet for your daughter when you were in Cangzhou, Yu's."

Su Mu: "I have a little impression. At that time, you saw that bracelet and said it was beautiful. If you wanted it, I bought it."
