When Zhou Kang entered the room, Su Tiancheng suddenly had a very uncomfortable feeling.

People say that the prime minister's concierge is a seven-grade official, this is because the prime minister's power is too great, and there are too many people who want to visit the prime minister.

No matter who you are, when you enter the mansion and visit the cabinet chief, you always have to pass the housekeeper level, and after a long time, if you can't talk to the housekeeper, people will fool you casually, don't think about seeing the prime minister.

Although Zhou Kang did not declare his identity, the temperament on his body was a little uncomfortable.

Before Zhou Kang could speak, Su Tiancheng guessed that this person was not simple, and there should be a lot of power behind him.

When looking at people, he always has a scrutinizing gaze, and his own temperament is not very grandiose, but he has a posture of a superior person. It's not too young, and it looks close to fifty years old.

Many masters, or housekeepers of large families, are this kind of performance.

"This is Master Su."

Su Tiancheng was numb for a while, Nima's, Bachelor Su is Su Shi and Su Dongpo, how famous are people, writers, poets, literary crowns cover Jinghua, I don't know how many fans Lu Dao has, and even the emperor admires him, how dare I say that I am Bachelor Su, why don't you speak in tune, this is sarcastic me, or want to promote me.

"Don't dare, in Xia Su Tiancheng, come to the capital to participate in the examination."

"Long admiration, long admiration, the old man has long known the reputation of Bachelor Su of Lu Daosu, and has been rewarded by the emperor.

Su Tiancheng felt numb again, what kind of person are you, calling yourself an old man in front of me, and your tone is too big.

But this is in the capital, where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, so it's better to be patient.

"Mr. has an overreputation, I don't dare to have such an idea, I don't know if Mr. Lu Dao came to the inn, but what is the matter."

Zhou Kang looked at Su Tiancheng and smiled slightly.

"Old man Zhou Kang, entrusted by others, there are some things, I want to ask Xie Yuanlang, it's a little abrupt, and I hope Xie Yuanlang doesn't care."

"Where, if there is anything that Mr. needs to ask, he must answer truthfully."

In a few simple words, Zhou Kang already felt that Su Tiancheng looked very young, but his heart was not simple, and he had experienced wind and waves, after meeting, he put on a high posture, ordinary young people, he couldn't bear it at all, even if he could bear it, I am afraid that his words would not be good, this Su Tiancheng, there was no expression on his face, and he spoke in a calm tone, no matter what he thought in his heart, it was great to be able to keep quiet, far beyond the concentration he should have at his age.

Besides, since he entered the door, Su Tiancheng has not asked about his own situation, including who his surname is, which shows that Su Tiancheng knows how to observe words and feelings, and can roughly judge the identity of others, and he will not open his mouth when he shouldn't ask.

Su Tiancheng is also looking at the other party, this Zhou Kang, his identity is definitely not simple, it cannot be an official of the imperial court, the opening remarks of the officials always have to introduce their positions, but with such a confident attitude, they don't take the initiative to report their names, then there is only one situation, the master or the housekeeper.

The biggest characteristic of the master is that he is shrewd, he is very cautious in doing things, and there will be no tentative moves, that is, he wants to understand someone, and he also grasps it through conversation.

Thinking of this, he was more cautious, he couldn't underestimate the housekeeper, the high-ranking officials in the capital, there were housekeepers in the mansion, the housekeepers had time to contact the master, understood the hobbies of their master, and helped their master do some things from time to time, and the housekeeper came to the inn to find himself, which was definitely not his own meaning, but the meaning of the high-ranking officials behind the housekeeper.

The officialdom is not full of unforeseen and dangerous, Su Tiancheng will not despise it, let alone get carried away.

"Okay, then I'm welcome, there are three problems."

"The first question, I participated in the township examination for high school, became Xie Yuanlang, and will soon participate in the examination, the so-called one day as a teacher, one life as a father, I don't know what you think."

Su Tiancheng chuckled in his heart, he quickly understood what the purpose of the other party's coming was.

The chief examiner of the examination is Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Wen Tiren, the second assistant, Zhou Kang asked such a word, which can only represent one of the two, since the surname is Zhou, it is likely to be Zhou Yanru's housekeeper.

The butler of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant to the cabinet, is indeed unusual.

"I took the county exam, the government exam and the township exam, and with three teachers, I am about to take the exam.

Zhou Kang nodded, this answer is very appropriate, it doesn't leak, it seems that this Su Tiancheng is very old.

Who doesn't know that the examiners of Lu Dao are Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, the candidates can get on the knot, the career is smooth, with such an opportunity, take the opportunity to show their mentality, and also take precautions, but Su Tiancheng did not say so.

"The second question, the so-called ten-year cold window no one asked, in one fell swoop became famous all over the world, Xie Yuanlang is not only outstanding in learning, with amazing poems such as "Magnolia Flower Order" and "Butterfly Love Flower", and can gallop on the battlefield, exterminate the rogue, and has been rewarded by the imperial court, I don't know what plans to do in the future."

"Since you should do your best to participate in the examination, if you can't go to high school, return to your hometown and continue to study hard, when you are inscribed on the gold plate, obey the arrangement of the imperial court, and don't dare to think anything wrong."

"The third question, I heard that Xie Yuanlang has not yet married, can he have other plans?"

"The words of the matchmaker of the parents, such a big event, I dare not have any plans."

After Su Tiancheng answered the three questions, Zhou Kang already had an idea in his heart.

Su Tiancheng spoke very crisply, not dragging mud and water, such a situation shows that his heart is strong.

"Hehe, I see, if it's convenient for Xie Yuanlang, I have an additional question."

Su Tiancheng nodded and did not speak.

Xie Yuanlang answered all the questions raised by the old man, and never asked the old man's identity, can he already know?

"Mr. has an extraordinary bearing, and he is also an elder below, and the school examination is below, which is reasonable, and there is nothing that must be studied in detail about these cumbersome processes."

"Hehe, that's a good point, the old man wishes Xie Yuanlang to take the high school exam."

Zhou Kang stood up, and after bowing his hand to Su Tiancheng, he left quickly, he did not report his identity, he believed that Su Tiancheng had already known the Tao.

After Zhou Kang left, Su Tiancheng's face was very ugly.

Before the test began, Zhou Yanru's housekeeper Zhou Kang came to the door, and the deep meaning did not need to be said at all. He will not accept this olive branch.

According to the process of historical development, from now on, to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the cabinet has changed eleven people, and each change, regardless of the length of time, has affected the change of the government.

The key information revealed in this shows that in the process of career development, you can only rely on yourself, maneuver in various forces, and cannot commit to a certain group.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the party struggle had reached a point where it could not be repeated, no matter which group it was, it was all for power and interests, and it was all for personal interests, regardless of the life or death of the common people and the development of the country.

The wise thing to do is to stay away from party contention, and when the strength is insufficient, deal with it, and when the strength is enough, rectify it with an iron fist.

Since Zhou Kang came to the door, it means that he has attracted the attention of some powerful forces.

Su Tiancheng is a little vigilant, arrogance is unacceptable, and he must find the best development path.

After Zhou Kang returned home, he immediately went to the study, reported the situation in detail, and also expressed his own analysis.

Zhou Yanru groaned.

"It seems that this Su Tiancheng is really not simple, no wonder the emperor values it, tell me, why he didn't directly indicate his identity from beginning to end."

"Master, the little one is good at making claims, but there is a reason, this Su Tiancheng is indeed not simple, he will have a future in the future, such a young talent, the master is still softer, and slowly pull it to his side, if he is in a hurry, it may be counterproductive, thinking of these, the small one did not directly indicate his identity, but the small one believes that Su Tiancheng must understand."

"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying, let me think about it."

"Master, do you want to pay attention to Su Tiancheng's movements, after the trial, there may be other people who will look for it."

"You should pay attention to this matter."

Su Tiancheng quickly forgot about Zhou Kanglai's matter, the exam is imminent, the focus is still on the exam, as for other things, it can be put after the exam.

He lived in the inn and did not attend many gatherings.

The time between the township examination and the examination is half a year apart, and most of the people are going to travel to the city, make friends, be familiar with each other, and be able to participate in the examination, which will be the same year in the future.

Su Tiancheng doesn't want to get into this kind of thing, his strength is insufficient, and he wants to win over some relationships, the possibility is not big, it is too eye-catching, it is a big trouble.

Zhou Kang talked about marriage, but pay attention to it, starting a family, in terms of ranking, starting a family is still in front, if you become a jinshi and have not yet started a family, this is indeed amazing.

Zhu Xianxin's figure floated into his mind, but unfortunately the current system, between the two of them, there is no such possibility.

There is no flower before the moon, there is no Qingqing and me, thinking that it is not such a simple thing to be able to find a considerate and warm wife, and he doesn't want Su Huawen and the Wang family to settle such a big event.

It seems that the meeting test and the palace test are important things, and marriage is also a big thing, and both must be taken into account.
