I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 65 My father-in-law’s three major hobbies (please follow up)

On the third day of November, the weather gets colder.

Charcoal fires were lit in every government office in Bianjing City.

Some officials who were on duty on horseback also replaced their saddles with marmoset seats imported from the Liao Kingdom.

With the implementation of the Qizhou reform, the opponents stopped talking.

The reaction of the people was also mixed.

Those who are happy are mostly scholars and poor people, while those who are worried are almost all wealthy landlords who live on renting.

Some have even started selling fields.

This is undoubtedly a very good sign for the people.

……

at dusk.

Next to Zhouqiao, Lao Zhangji Mutton Soup Restaurant.

Su Liang and Liu Chang'er, the shopkeeper of Liu Ji Bookshop, each held a bowl of mutton soup.

Snoring, snoring, drinking deliciously.

In such a cold weather, a bowl of hot mutton soup paired with a freshly baked crispy biscuit is simply the best taste in the world.

Liu Changer said while eating: "Su Yushi, you have been in too much limelight recently. Many people are staring at you, looking for your mistakes!"

Su Liang took a bite of sesame seed cake.

"I am upright and not afraid of my shadow being distorted. I have never done anything untoward, and I am not afraid of anyone finding trouble!"

"That's right. Apart from your father-in-law from Yangzhou and your wife who lives with you, you have no relatives or friends. You are really a natural fit to be an admonishing official in Taiwan!"

Su Liang was stunned and said, "How did you know that my father-in-law is in Yangzhou City?"

Su Liang never told Liu Chang'er about this matter, nor did he tell any friends and colleagues in Bianjing City.

Liu Chang'er smiled slightly and took out an envelope from his arms.

"I bought it on the black market for three hundred coins."

Su Liang opened it and was dumbfounded.

There are two pages in total in the envelope.

It records all the situations of Su Liang since he became an official.

He served as the magistrate of Changqing County, married Tang Wanmei in Yangzhou City, and served as an observation and promotion officer in Qizhou...

Not very detailed though.

However, we basically investigated Su Liang's major events after he became an official, as well as the general situation of his family and relatives.

"Su Liang's father-in-law, Tang Ze, is a teacher at [Shangwen Private School] in Yangzhou City. He has good books, good wine and good tea..." Su Liang muttered and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You even found out my father-in-law's three major hobbies?"

He thought about it and felt relieved.

It is actually not difficult to find out this information. You can spend some money and ask some people to find out.

Liu Chang'er took a bite of sesame seed cake.

"These days, as long as you have money, you can find out any information. For a young talent like you, many people want to step on your head to become famous. You must be careful."

Su Liang nodded seriously.

Although he has no relatives or friends involved, he still needs to be on guard.

Some people have vicious hearts!
……

Late at night, high in the sky.

The stars are bright, the clouds are floating, and meteors pass through the clouds from time to time, appearing and disappearing.

Zhouqiao Night Market is still noisy.

The colorful lanterns are very bright, like a fire burning in the cold night.

Su Zhai, on the bed.

After some storms.

Tang Wanmei leaned on Su Liang's arms and said softly: "Today we received a letter from our father. He will arrive in a few days and will celebrate the New Year with us this year."

"Okay, with our dad here, this year's Chinese New Year won't be so deserted!"

Tang Wanmei said: "Then..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely prepare good books, wine and tea, my father's three favorite hobbies!"

"No, what I want to say is, I have been married to you for three years and I have no children yet. Should I tell my father that I will take a concubine for you..."

Upon hearing this, Su Liang immediately covered Tang Wanmei's mouth.

"The doctor has said that there is nothing wrong with us. I think maybe we haven't worked hard enough!" After saying that, Su Liang hugged Tang Wanmei into his arms.

"I don't believe in this evil anymore!"

……

On November [-]th, Su Liang took a day off.He rented a horse-drawn carriage and took Tang Wanmei and Xiao Tao to the dock outside the city.

Yangzhou can reach Bianjing directly by waterway, and it only takes more than half a month.

Most people would choose to take a merchant ship to Beijing.

Firstly, it is convenient, and secondly, there are no thieves on the road.

If we take the land route without seven or eight men accompanying us, even if we take the official route, there will still be certain dangers.

The time for Yangzhou merchant ships to arrive in Bianjing is basically fixed.

Su Liang has already inquired, and his father-in-law will probably arrive in Bianjing before noon.

Therefore, Su Liang and the others had been waiting here for a long time.

About half an hour later.

A merchant ship docks.

Su Liang, Tang Wanmei, and Tao'er got out of the car and walked towards the dock.

After a while.

A thin, middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a light gray gown, strode over with a cloth bag on his back.

His eyes were bright and he looked very energetic.

It was Su Liang's father-in-law, Mr. Tang Zetang.

Master Tang's eyes were very good, and he saw Su Liang and the others from a long distance away.

Su Liang and the other three also saw Mr. Tang and hurriedly greeted him.

After a while, the four of them finally came together.

"My husband!"

"Good son-in-law!"

"My father-in-law, my son-in-law misses you so much!"

"Xian son-in-law, I have read all the articles you wrote. They are incisive! They are incisive and make me proud, Mr. Tang!"

"My father-in-law, you are so ridiculous. This is all based on your teachings in the past few years!"

……

Weng and son-in-law praised each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

And don't forget to give me a big hug.

Immediately, Su Liang quickly took over Tang Ze's baggage.

aside.

Tang Wanmei and Taoer stood expressionless.

The two were used to being ignored.

Since Tang Wanmei married Su Liang, the relationship between the father-in-law and his son-in-law was better than that between father and son.

While in Qizhou, Tang Wanmei once had a quarrel with Su Liang.

Tang Wanmei has not yet written home to complain about her grievances, but Su Liang went to write to Mrs. Tang first to complain about her grievances.

Then Mrs. Tang wrote a letter and scolded Tang Wanmei, making Tang Wanmei dumbfounded, and she seemed to have become an outsider.

After the two exchanged greetings, Tang Zecai looked at Tang Wanmei and said with a smile: "Daughter, Xiaotao, you are here too!"

After this remark.

Master Tang seemed to remember something again, and he looked at Su Liang again.

"My dear son-in-law, I brought you a copy of the Nine Classics with Characters engraved in the Five Dynasties!"

"Really? This is a rare item. My father-in-law is willing to give it to me?"

Master Tang's chest puffed up and his expression was serious.

"Why are you so reluctant? My daughter has been given to you. After I die, my collection of books will not be yours?"

"Then...thank you, father-in-law!"

……

The two were talking and laughing, while Tang Wanmei and Xiao Tao followed closely behind.

Tang Wanmei has become accustomed to it.

As a father, he loves ancient books the most, followed by wine and third by tea.

As long as these three are mentioned, there seems to be endless things to say.

Immediately, the four of them got on the carriage and headed straight to Fan Tower.

Nowadays, Su Liang is rich thanks to Zhao Zhen's many rewards. It is completely stress-free to invite his father-in-law to have a meal and drink in Fan Lou's private room.

At this moment, a young man in gray clothes watched Su Liang's carriage leave before leaving in a hurry.
