Chapter 6 Uncle Mu Mansion
"Auntie...I'm sorry, the emperor's name cannot be called randomly."
The servant said in fear, "You must know that in the Qin Dynasty, I called the emperor's name directly, but I was disrespectful and wanted to behead me. In serious cases, I had to destroy the nine clans. It seems that this foolish son-in-law is really plagued by ghosts, otherwise I would not dare to ask the emperor's name so unruly.
"It's okay? You and I are here. This is the knowledge of heaven and earth. You know me. There will be no third person. You will not be beheaded."
Qin Mu said comfortingly that Qin Mu, who is very knowledgeable about the monarchy of feudal society, knows very well what this servant is afraid of.
"But... but I don't know the emperor's name." The servant said with a trembling corner of his mouth.
This is the truth. After all, in feudal society, ordinary people did not know the name of the emperor at all, because the emperor at that time was not like the leaders of the country in the 21st century in China, who published their names all over the world, and there were news, newspapers, and the Internet to promote them every day, and wrote the names of the national leaders by name, which made few people in the world not know the names of the national leaders.
But in feudal society, if anyone who publicizes the emperor's name so blatantly everywhere, would it be a serious crime to destroy the nine clans.
"What's the surname of the emperor now?"
Qin Mu asked, Qin Mu believed in the words of this servant. After all, if a servant from the Mu Mansion knew the name of the emperor today, it would not be a feudal society. However, ordinary people should know the emperor's surname, after all, this is not a taboo.
"Submitted to Zhao."
The servant replied honestly, after all, the Zhao family has been the emperor for more than a thousand years, and people in the world may not know what the emperor is today, but few people do not know the emperor's surname.
"Submitted to Zhao?"
Qin Mu's face changed slightly. It seemed that what he estimated was correct. This was not the Great Qin Dynasty in Chinese history, nor any dynasty in Chinese history, but a dynasty similar to the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history.
"There are a few more questions,...whether of my family? How do I live in the Mu family, not at my own home?" Qin Mu asked.
"family?"
The servant's eyes widened, and he looked at Qin Mu as if he was looking at a ghost...
Of course, this look is correct. Now this eldest son-in-law of the Mu family is possessed by a ghost. The original foolish son-in-law has already gone to the West to see the Buddha.
"What's wrong with this fool's son-in-law? Why did you even forget these things? Could it be that this fool is really haunted by ghosts..."
The servants became more and more afraid the more they wanted to leave this foolish son-in-law of the Mu family who was plagued by ghosts.
Qin Mu stared at him without blinking, swearing in his heart that if this servant answered him, "Are you the one who traveled through time?", he would definitely be a traveler, and Qin Mu would definitely strangle him to death without hesitation.
As the saying goes, "Scarcity is precious". The variety of time travelers is very rare. One is enough, and two is too many...
"You are the son-in-law of the Mu family..."
The servant smiled at Qin Mu in a pleasing way, hoping that this son-in-law, who was plagued by ghosts, would have taken his life to see that he was a servant of the Mu family.
"Nonsense, don't I know that I am the son-in-law of the Mu family? I asked you where my family has gone, why am I staying in the Mu family and becoming a son-in-law..."
Qin Mu said dissatisfiedly, "I don't know anything else. I am the son-in-law of the Mu family. I know very well in my mind. Do you still use him to talk nonsense?"
"Son-law, you forgot that all your family was killed in a fire a few years ago. Thank God, you survived. Since then, you have been at the Mu family..." The servant said carefully.
"All of them died? Haha, it's not bad."
Qin Mu heard that all the family members of the man he possessed had been killed, so he couldn't help but feel happy. It would be fine. In the future, he wouldn't have to worry about being exposed that he had traveled over to possess this fool Qin Mu. After all, all the people who know this fool Qin Mu the best were killed.
"ah……"
The servant was completely stunned. This foolish son-in-law was really entangled with ghosts. Otherwise, why would he hear that his close relatives were killed and were so happy that he would not kill me? The servant's legs couldn't help but start to tremble.
...
After a stick of incense, the servant was let go by Qin Mu who was still unsatisfied. When he left, he was staggering, and his lower body was wet. Of course, this had nothing to do with Qin Mu. The main reason was that the servant's psychological quality was not strong enough, so it was normal to be scared.
After the servant left, Qin Mu stood in the garden, holding hands and began to daze.
The twelfth year of the revelation of the Qin Dynasty, this was a dynasty with a history of thousands of years. Its administrative organization was completely similar to the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history.
I heard from this servant that the Qin Dynasty is not very peaceful now, and rebellions occur in many places, and foreign forces are eyeing it on the border. As the saying goes, the world is about to surging. Another point is also very important. He said that the son-in-law of the Mu Mansion, the Mu Mansion is a famous family in Kurihara County where he is now in. Many people in the family are officials in the court.
My cheap father-in-law is now an official in the capital, and seems to be a senior official of the cabinet. He is a fifth-rank official. He is also a big official in the Qin Dynasty, and he is a high-ranking official at the same level as the prefect of Kurihara County.
The world is full of turmoil and turmoil, so I'd better think about how to survive in this prominent Mu Mansion.
After all, survival is a big problem. Although the eldest lady of the Mu family said so nicely in the hall, she would be her own wife obediently in the future. Who knows what the situation is like?
You should know that this Mu family is a wealthy family. It is difficult to be a wife from a wealthy family, and it is even more difficult to be a son-in-law from a wealthy family.
Here Qin Mu had to sigh at the luck of the original owner of his body.
After the whole family was killed, Qin Mu was sent to the Mu Mansion. At this time, the Qin family had completely declined, and there was only one fool left. He could not compare with the Mu family at the peak of his life.
People are always a little snobbish. They are still an idiot and fool for the Qin family, which has completely declined. Mr. Mu is still an idiot and fool. Mr. Mu is of course a little regretful to the grandson-in-law he had drunk and recognized for nothing. This is human nature.
But no matter whether he wanted it or not, his grandson-in-law came to join him and could not drive him out. In desperation, the Mu family had to pinch his nose and accept Qin Mu.
Of course, the son-in-law in the Mu family is not so easy to be. The so-called "son-in-law" is just a name. Qin Mu lived in the Mu family for more than five years. Now Qin Mu is twenty years old, and Mu Yunxi, the daughter of the Mu family, is eighteen years old, but she still has no decline when she gets married.
Although the two live under the same roof, the unmarried couple has not even met each other several times in five years.
In the Qin Dynasty, it was rare for girls who were not married at the age of 18. From this point of view, it can be seen that the Mu family was quite determined to be "thank you to be broken than to be a complete one". They would rather delay their eldest daughter into an old girl than to surrender to the fool Qin Mu.
The Mu Mansion raised an idle man like Qin Mu. He didn't let him work, and he didn't say he wanted to study. Of course, a fool was in vain and gave him a remote courtyard, where food was full, so he let him die for himself.
It was said that he was a son-in-law, but in fact, Qin Mu was not a master or a servant, which was very embarrassing. In addition, he was a fool, not good at speaking, did not know how to please the Mu family and his future wife, and even did not even act as a servant of the Shanmu family, so that he had a very poor relationship in the Mu family, and basically no one talked to him.
Who would like to talk to a fool? Wouldn't that mean that he is also a fool? So for five years in the Mu Mansion, Qin Mu couldn't call a servant's name.
Compared with the rest of the Mu family, Mr. Mu was quite polite to Qin Mu and barely treated him with courtesy, but he never mentioned Qin Mu's marriage with his granddaughter, as if he had suffered from selective amnesia.
Although I don’t know what the fool Qin Mu thought before, Xiao Fan, who had traveled through time, understood the truth after he figured out his situation.
As expected, the Mu family had the intention of regretting their marriage, otherwise the eldest lady of the Mu family would not have dared to force her to break off the engagement by death in the hall. You should know that women in this era pay attention to the "three obediences and four virtues". If the parents had not agreed to it, she would not dare to do this as a girl.
However, people in this era valued loyalty, especially scholars, and even regarded the word "xinyi" more than life. This is the foundation for scholars to gain a foothold among intellectuals of the Qin Dynasty. If the Mu family regretted this relative, within a night, the reputation of the Mu family would be overwhelmed by the entire Liyuan County and soon the entire Qin Kingdom. Who would still date someone like the Mu family who was untrustworthy at that time?
But the Mu family really doesn't want to marry her daughter like a flower-like girl to a three-no one like Qin Mu, who is not good-for-fame, powerless, and mindless. Now the family is not in line, let's not talk about it. If her daughter follows him as a fool, will she have a good life in the future?
Another point is that Qin Mu was weak and sickly, with a pale face, weak limbs, unable to lift shoulders, and unable to lift hands. If he was walking outside, he had to hug the pillar tightly.
By the way, the reason why Qin Mu was able to travel to this Mu son-in-law was because he was too weak and often fainted. This time, he was so lucky that he had just lived a life, but he was cheaper now that Qin Mu was traveling through time.
So the Mu family wanted to regret the marriage, especially Mr. Mu, who regretted his intestines. This was the end of greed! If I hadn't received a few more cups of yellow soup back then, how could I have reached the embarrassing situation of being unable to advance or retreat?
The Mu family has been waiting for this weak and sickly foolish son-in-law to live a life as soon as possible. In that case, the engagement will be automatically terminated. However, this foolish son-in-law who seems to be dying is going to survive until now, which makes the entire Mu family very helpless.
Now the young lady of the Mu family is eighteen, and the people in the Mu family can't wait, so they took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to invite famous people from Kurihara County to participate. The main purpose is to perform this drama so as to terminate the engagement.
Unfortunately, the foolish son-in-law never died sooner or later. He happened to die at the banquet and was possessed by Qin Mu who had traveled over, and their plan was declared bankrupt.
...
After thinking through this, the tired Qin Mu returned to his room and went to sleep. At this time, nothing is more important than falling asleep.
