The advantage of time travel is to know what will happen in the next few hundred years and be clear about the experiences and lessons. The advantage of being a civil servant in the past is to be able to judge the situation, guess the hearts of the people, and make wise choices. As for being a young leading cadre in the past, the advantage is even greater. Being familiar with the rules of the officialdom, you will do something and not do anything.

Su Tiancheng has so many advantages, and the road to travel should not be simple.

The things I encountered before, including Lei Wentong and Lei Fangui, were not big things. Lei Wentong was just a merchant. If the situation changed dramatically after hundreds of years, such merchants were indeed powerful. However, in the Ming Dynasty, merchants had the lowest status. Although they were rich, they were still restricted in terms of corresponding expenses. In the early Ming Dynasty, even restrictions were imposed on residential properties. However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy developed significantly, and there were more collusion between officials and businessmen, and no one pursued them as required. Therefore, merchants' residences gradually became luxurious and atmospheric.

Lei Fangui is nothing. Before traveling through time, Su Tiancheng had seen many gangsters. All of these gangsters were obedient in front of him.

The real test has not yet arrived, and all this is just an early adaptation.

Su Tiancheng understood this very well, so he did not show any satisfaction.

The incident about Lei Wentong's visit to the Su Mansion, including some of the words he said, and Su Tiancheng's answer, was still spread.

Lei Wentong is a businessman with an identity in Pingyang Mansion. When it comes to Su Mansion, he is a little condescending. While people speculate on Lei Wentong's purpose, they talk about Su Tiancheng's answers. These comebacks are really sharp and hit the nail on the head.

I don’t know how these news spread. It is said that only the servants brought by Lei Wentong and the servants of the Su family were so strange that all the conversations were spread out in full.

Lei Wentong walked around the reception room. Relying on his nephew's identity as a juren, he could set up a reception room in his mansion. According to the court's requirements, the residences of officials above the fourth rank can be specially set up a reception room. But now, everything is a bit messy, and the government has not asked about such matters.

The news spreading everywhere in the city made him very annoyed.

It is not good for him to spread the story of his trip to the Su Mansion. Anyone with a discerning eye can understand the mystery. What is his identity? Su Tiancheng is just a 17-year-old student. His father Su Huawen has moved to Taiyuan Prefecture City. The mansion is considered to be a person in charge, but he went to the Su Mansion and left in shame.

Lei Wentong gritted her teeth with hatred, but she didn't dare to do too much. No matter what, Su Tiancheng is a student, a serious scholar, and his identity is still noble. In front of Su Tiancheng, he can only act like an elder. Besides, Su Tiancheng did not do business as a merchant, and he has no way to take action for the time being.

Finding the prefect and maliciously slandering Su Tiancheng may be a road. Unfortunately, before such a method could be implemented, the matter of his arrival in the Su Mansion was spread all over the sky. In this case, if I went to see the prefect, I probably had my head on it.

Seeing Lei Fangui return home, Lei Wentong was furious.

"Sir, go to the study."

After entering the study room, before Lei Fangui could react, Lei Wentong yelled.

"Don't you kneel down to me. What happened to what you said last time? Tell me honestly. Didn't you say that Su Tiancheng is useless, timid and cowardly, and vulnerable?"

Lei Fangui did not kneel down. He had always been a bit arrogant in front of his father.

"Father, I am already a child and cannot kneel down casually."

"I'm against you. Even if you are a juren, you will kneel down in front of me. Where have you read this book?"

Heaven, Earth, the king, parents and teachers need filial piety in front of their parents. This is the essence of Confucianism. Lei Fangui also understood it. Seeing that Lei Wentong was really angry, he knelt down reluctantly.

"Father, isn't it just a few words? Then Su Tiancheng, don't think he can't afford it. I'll find a few people to clean up him one day and see if he's still proud."

Lei Wentong almost fainted from anger. She didn't dare to find the prefect. She slandered Su Tiancheng behind her back. Unexpectedly, her bastard son actually wanted to find someone to deal with Su Tiancheng. This was not obvious to everyone. The Lei family didn't like Su Tiancheng, but they were looking for an opportunity to deal with him.

What would the prefect think if the prefect finds out? The prefect is dissatisfied and just finds a reason, the Lei family can't stand it. Don't look at their nephew as an official in Huguang, but in the eyes of the prefect, what is it?

Lei Wentong felt a little desolate. Why is the boy in the Su family so powerful and he is scheming in speaking and doing things? His own boy doesn't know anything. If he really becomes an enemy of Su Tian, ​​Su Tian will become successful in the future. How can the Lei family have a way out?

After years of business, Lei Wentong has experienced too many ups and downs. He relies on caution and being able to see people, so he has come to this point step by step. If Lei Fangui is not good enough and really causes trouble for his family, he will be defeated overnight.

"A bad boy, if you dare to have such an idea, I will break your legs and let you sleep at home, it will be better than if you go out and cause trouble."

Lei Fangui raised his head in surprise and looked at Lei Wentong, why did his father say so?

Looking at Lei Fangui's shocked expression, Lei Wentong shook her head.

"You are a sage, you have to use your head to do things. You are a scholar. Do you don't understand such a simple truth? People have said that you have used a knife to kill people and blame others. These truths are usually said, you understand, but why don't you know now? Fighting, killing, what are you doing?"

The news spread very quickly, but Su Tiancheng, who was called the boy of Sancai, was still very calm.

There were more and more scholars who came to visit the Su Mansion. Most of them were students from Pingyang Mansion. Some were in the same year as Su Tiancheng, and some were studying at the Mansion together.

Everyone was curious and didn't know what Su Tiancheng had changed so much. Could it be that the silence in the past was all pretended?

Su Tiancheng was calm and welcomed his classmates who came to visit him. He spoke very low-key. Some classmates who had good things always wanted to ask about Lei Wentong's situation when he came to Su's mansion. Su Tiancheng always said a few words to deal with it and never mentioned this matter.

However, in a few days, Su Tiancheng's fame gradually became out. Everyone agreed that Su Tiancheng was very low-key and humble. Although Lei Wentong came to the door with anger and as an elder, she felt a bit bullying the small with the big one, Su Tiancheng's attitude was still good, polite and honest.

No one knows that Su Tiancheng, the initiator, has been paying close attention to the development of the situation.

He had to be more careful. The news was spread by Su Ertong and others, and some seasonings were added in the middle, with the purpose of making this matter public and completely blocking Lei Wentong's road to revenge.

After all, Lei Wentong is not an ordinary person, and the Lei family's momentum is also good. If Lei Wentong is so angry that she is so embarrassed that she secretly thinks of taking action, she needs to be prepared and involves too much energy. She told Lei Wentong that the meaning of sweeping away the snow in front of the door is actually a hint of being at peace.

At least from the current situation, I am still a little unfavorable. Lei Wentong's three sons, one is a supervisor and two are scholars. Such a family is not worth mentioning in the eyes of those noble families, but it is very good in the merchant family, let alone Lei Wentong's nephew is still a juren.

It is always good to prevent problems before they happen.

The development of the situation is also moving towards a direction that is beneficial to oneself. In the Ming Dynasty, scholars controlled the government affairs. For hundreds of years, scholars have always been favored by scholars, and social public opinion is also beneficial to scholars. In everyone's opinion, Lei Wentong occupies a strong side. He did this himself, attacking the strong with the weak, and made Lei Wentong lose his teeth and swallow it into his stomach.

Of course, it is not a solution to always continue like this. Taking tricks can only be done for a while and cannot cope for a lifetime. The most important thing is to use the principle of imperial examinations to enter the bureaucratic ranks. Only when you truly grasp the power can many problems be solved easily.

Su Tiancheng began to calm down, picked up the Four Books and Five Classics, studied seriously, and relied on the foundation laid by Su Tiancheng before, and read it with relish.

Since the goal is determined, he will not hesitate and will not give up until he achieves his goal. Without this basic perseverance and determination, don’t think about being able to do a good job.
