I am a living immortal.

The monster's head was sent to Shengjing.

The dark clouds hanging over the Ministry of Justice have dissipated a lot.

When receiving the monster's head, Shen Yan laughed a few times. The longer the time dragged on, the more the Ministry of Justice hadn't slept for several days, which affected other things as well. Although nothing serious happened, if it continued like this, it would definitely drag down many people.

Fortunately, this matter finally saw the light of day.

This night, I finally got a good night's sleep.

Wei Ming was no exception. He trusted Su Mu, so he was less worried. But that didn't mean he was at ease. These days, many of his colleagues were under great pressure, which indirectly led to a lot of small mistakes.

This all requires his help in reviewing.

He was as busy as ever every day.

Sure enough, working anywhere is tiring. Compared to Wei Ming, Su Mu is as relaxed as a leisurely person.

After lunch, I took a stroll on the street.

Shengjing is worthy of being the capital of the Yan Dynasty. There are still many new things here, and you can buy rare gadgets from all over the world here.

The northernmost part of Yan Dynasty is a natural barrier, which Su Mu had been there. To the southeast, it borders the East China Sea. To the west, it is an endless desert. To the southwest, it borders another country and is a lush forest.

The mountains and forests are rugged, hot and humid, and there are many snakes and insects, so the two sides can live in peace.

Yan Dynasty knew about the other party, and the other party also knew about Yan Dynasty. There was some trade between them. Both sides were eyeing each other and wary of each other. At least at the current level, neither side was sure of annexing the other, even during the most chaotic years of Yan Dynasty.

When marching to fight, food and fodder must go first. Moreover, there are many mountains, trees and water in the mountains. It is easy to march a hundred or a thousand people, but it is difficult to march tens of thousands of people, not to mention fighting on the enemy's home ground.

So even if there is a desire to annex, it is still a matter of determination.

There have been constant minor frictions, but no major wars, so things have been peaceful and harmonious. We are all just waiting for an opportunity.

Therefore, Yan Dynasty’s geographical location is still very good.

It has a large area and is surrounded by natural dangers. Even the wars were fought with some nomadic peoples in the north and some tribes in the southwest.

There were many wars, but they were all civil wars.

Break up and get back together, get back together and break up.

When you are strong, I will submit to you. When you are in decline, I will observe and wait for an opportunity to act. That's how it is. Now Yan Dynasty is on the strong side.

Therefore, Shengjing has medicinal herbs from the southwest, cattle, sheep and dairy products from the north, gems, camels, and gold from the desert, as well as various decorations and fish from the East China Sea.

Of course, some things will become very expensive due to the distance and preservation technology. Very expensive.

If Su Mu liked something, she would buy some.

There are teahouses and restaurants on the roadside where you can occasionally hear the sounds of drama, which are often accompanied by applause. Some of the performances are from foreign troupes, while others are from the teahouses themselves.

As for entertainment, there is much more here than in other cities. In addition to opera troupes, there are also storytelling, acrobatics, eagle dancing and monkey teasing. There are many things that can be performed on stage.

There are many successful princes and nobles, but there are even more unsuccessful ones. There are basically one or two playboys in every household. Their families do not expect them to succeed, and they are not interested in this either. As long as they don't cause trouble and like to have fun, they can do whatever they want, such as pursuing women and being idle. They have money and free time, and as long as there is demand, they will naturally form a market.

Where there is a market, there are different levels of society and there is competition.

The best is face, the worst is livelihood.

Everyone has what they need and everyone has what they gain.

Su Mu walked and looked around. It was very lively. The weather was just right today, neither too cold nor too hot.

Children are chasing and playing on the street.

When you run the paper fan in your hand, it will make a "clattering" sound.

There is laughter in my ears and the world in my eyes.

In a short while, Su Mu arrived at Wei's house. He came back to ask for wine. Wei Ming couldn't escape this feast.

The servant knew Su Mu and immediately went to report.

Wei Ming was not there, and the steward was in charge of the reception. The steward smiled and invited Su Mu into the reception room, and served her tea and cakes. Apparently, someone had instructed Su Mu to wait for a moment.

The Wei Mansion is neither big nor small, but a big house with few people is not good, as it seems too deserted.

The surrounding decorations are strange and simple, but there are also some valuable ornaments.

Basically everything that should be there is here, and some of the calligraphy and paintings are mostly bought. How should I put it, the quality varies.

Among these paintings, there are also several that were written by Wei Ming himself. It can be seen that they are more mature than the ones bought by Su Mu, and gradually develop their own style.

In general, Wei Ming has not been abandoned, but even so, he may still be a long way from everyone. If he wants to sell paintings, he may want to mention his official position. When someone wants to curry favor with him, the value of the painting will probably rise sharply.

Wei Ming still needs to work hard to support his family by selling paintings.

After spending a long time with Shen Qiu, Su Mu's eyes for appreciating paintings became more discerning.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.

When Wei Ming strode in, he saw Su Mu looking at the paintings on the wall and explained, "Most of these paintings were bought on the street. I bought them because I liked them."

"Do you like him or do you value his talent?" Su Mu turned around and asked with a smile.

Wei Ming smiled awkwardly: "I think so."

"Calligraphy and paintings are not cheap. You have five or six paintings in your reception room alone. You don't spend all your salary on buying calligraphy and paintings, do you?" Su Mu asked suspiciously.

Wei Ming's years of official momentum collapsed in an instant.

After a long pause, he finally sighed, "My wife did provide some financial support."

"........."

"Your wife supports you, and you are a scholar."

Wei Ming thought this was a bit strange, but he couldn't find any fault with it.

In fact, it can be seen from these two styles of decoration that Wei Ming's wife is not short of money, and is even very rich. The calligraphy and paintings Wei Ming bought are not even worth the price of a vase, but they are still placed in the living room. It can be seen that she is tolerant of Wei Ming, even if it destroys the original layout, creating two styles, simple and precious coexisting.

"Stop talking about this."

Wei Ming changed the subject: "I'm grateful for your kindness. I'm treating you today. Would Brother Su be so kind as to do me the honor?"

"Of course, I'm here just to ask for some wine. I've already reached Wending after going back and forth."

"Oh? Brother Su is going to get a tattoo?"

"Yes, I plan to go look for my master's school and learn about his past."

"Then given Brother Su's abilities, it's definitely no problem."

"you are welcome."

"No more polite words, let's go, this time we won't leave until we're drunk. Although the ground wine from Shengjing Chaowen Pavilion is not as good as Su Mu's monkey wine, it is still the best in the world. I will definitely not let Brother Su down."

The two walked out of the living room while talking.

The carriage at the door had already been prepared and was heading to a remote wine shop.
