Chapter XXVII. Reputation and Repercussions

The advantage of crossing is to know what will happen in the next few hundred years, and to know the lessons and lessons learned, and the advantage of being a civil servant in the previous life is to be able to judge the situation, be able to speculate on people's hearts, and be able to make wise choices.

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

Those things that I met before, including the face of Lei Wentong and Lei Fangui, are not a big deal, Lei Wentong is just a businessman, if it is a few hundred years later, the situation has changed dramatically, such a businessman is indeed powerful, but in the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, the status of the businessman is the lowest, although it is said that there is money, but in the corresponding use, it is still restricted, in the early Ming Dynasty, even the residence was restricted, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy has developed significantly, and there are many cases of collusion between officials and businessmen, no one pursued it according to the requirements, so the residence of the merchant gradually became luxurious.

Lei Fangui is nothing, before the crossing, Su Tiancheng didn't know how many gangsters he had seen, these gangsters, in front of him, were all obedient.

The real test is yet to come, and all this is just the initial adaptation.

Su Tiancheng understands this very well, so he does not have the slightest smug performance.

The matter of Lei Wentong's arrival in Su Mansion, including some of the words he said, including Su Tiancheng's answer, still spread out.

Lei Wentong is a businessman with status in Pingyang Mansion, and when it comes to going to Su Mansion, it is a little condescending, and while people are guessing Lei Wentong's purpose, they relish Su Tiancheng's answer, these are back, but they are really sharp, and they hit the nail on the head.

I don't know how these news came out, it is said that only the subordinates brought by Lei Wentong and the subordinates of Su Mansion were present that day, but it was so strange, all the conversations came out as they were.

Lei Wentong walked around the living room, relying on his nephew's status, he could also set up a living room in the mansion, according to the requirements of the imperial court, the mansions of officials above the fourth rank can set up a special meeting room, but now, everything is a little messy, and the government has not asked about such a thing.

The news spread everywhere in Fucheng made him very annoyed.

The spread of his own going to Su Mansion is not good for him, and a discerning person can understand the mystery. What is his identity, Su Tiancheng is just a seventeen-year-old student, his father Su Huawen has moved to Taiyuan Mansion, and there is no one in charge in the house, but he went to Su Mansion and left in disgrace.

Lei Wentong gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't dare to make too many moves, no matter what, Su Tiancheng is a student, a serious scholar, and his identity is still noble, and he can only put up the shelf of the elders in front of Su Tiancheng, besides, Su Tiancheng really didn't do business, and he had no way to make a move for the time being.

Finding the prefect and maliciously slandering Su Tiancheng may be a road, but unfortunately such a method has not had time to be implemented, and the matter of going to Su Mansion by himself has spread all over the sky.

Seeing Lei Fangui return home, Lei Wentong was angry.

"Son, go to the study."

Entered the study, and before Lei Fangui could react, Lei Wentong roared away.

"Don't kneel down for me yet, what you said last time, what's wrong, tell me honestly, didn't you say that Su Tiancheng was useless, cowardly, and vulnerable."

Lei Fangui did not kneel, in front of his father, he has always been a little arrogant.

"Father, I'm already a student, so I can't kneel down casually."

"It's against you, you are just lifting people, and you have to kneel in front of Lao Tzu, where have you read this book."

Heaven and earth monarch teacher, in front of his parents, need filial piety, this is the essence of Confucianism, Lei Fangui also understands, seeing that Lei Wentong is really angry, he knelt down a little reluctantly.

"Father, isn't it just a matter of a few words, then Su Tiancheng, don't think I'm sorry, I'll find a few people another day, clean him up well, and see if he's still embarrassed."

Lei Wentong almost fainted in anger, he didn't dare to find the prefect, he slandered Su Tiancheng behind his back, he couldn't imagine that this bastard son of his own, he actually wanted to find someone to clean up Su Tiancheng, this is not to tell everyone clearly, the Lei family looked at Su Tiancheng unpleasantly, just to find an opportunity to clean up.

If the prefect knew the way, what would he think, the prefect was not satisfied, just find a reason, the Lei family would not be able to bear it, don't look at his nephew as an official in Huguang, but the lord is thin in the eyes of the prefect, what is it.

Lei Wentong felt a little desolate, for what kind of Su Mansion kid is so powerful, he is scheming in talking and doing things, his own kid, he doesn't understand anything, if he really becomes an enemy of Su Tian, Su Tiancheng will come out in the future, where will the Lei family still have a way to live.

After many years of doing business and experiencing too many ups and downs, Lei Wentong relied on prudence and being able to recognize and see people, so he came to the present step by step.

"Son, if you still dare to have such an idea, it is better for Lao Tzu to break your legs and let you sleep at home than for you to go out and cause trouble."

Lei Fangui raised his head in surprise and looked at Lei Wentong, why did his father say the same.

Looking at Lei Fangui's stunned expression, Lei Wentong shook his head.

"Son, you have to use your head to do things, you are a scholar, don't you understand such a simple truth, people have said that they borrowed a knife to kill people, blame others, these truths, you understand them on weekdays, but you don't know what to do now, where is what you do."

The news spread quickly, but Su Tiancheng, who can be called a boy of scattered wealth, is still very indifferent.

The number of scholars who came to visit Su Mansion gradually increased, and most of them were students from Pingyang Mansion, some of them were in the same year as Su Tiancheng, and some of them studied together in the Mansion.

Everyone was curious, I don't know why Su Tian has changed so much, can it be said that the previous silence is all pretended.

Su Tiancheng has a calm attitude, waiting for his classmates to visit, and his speech is also very low-key, some good classmates, always want to ask Lei Wentong about his arrival in Su Mansion, Su Tiancheng always coping with the past in a few words, and never mentioning this matter.

In just a few days, Su Tiancheng's fame slowly faded, and everyone's unanimous opinion was that Su Tiancheng was very low-key and humble, although Lei Wentong came to the door with anger, as an elder, there was a bit of a taste of bullying the small, but Su Tiancheng's attitude was still good, polite and courteous.

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

He had to have an extra mind, the news was spread by Su Ertong and others, and some condiments were added in the middle, the purpose was to make this matter public and completely block the road to Lei Wentong's revenge.

Lei Wentong is not an ordinary person after all, and the momentum of the Lei family is also good, in case Lei Wentong is annoyed and angry, secretly thinking about doing it, he needs to take precautions, it involves too much energy, and he told Lei Wentong that the meaning of sweeping the snow in front of the door is actually a hint that there is nothing to do.

At least from the current situation, he is still a little disadvantaged, Lei Wentong's three sons, one is a prisoner, and two are Xiucai, such a court, in the eyes of those noble families, is not worth mentioning, but in the Shangjia family, it is very good, not to mention Lei Wentong's own nephew, or a person.

It's always good to prevent problems before they happen.

The development of the situation is also going in the direction of their own benefit, the Ming Dynasty is the scholar to control the government, for hundreds of years, scholars have always been biased towards scholars, social public opinion is also in favor of scholars, and in everyone's opinion, Lei Wentong is on the strong side, he did so, with the weak to fight the strong, made the matter public, let Lei Wentong knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Of course, it is not a way to go on like this, and the trick can only be for a while, and it cannot be dealt with for a lifetime, and the most important thing is to enter the middle of the bureaucracy through the principle of the imperial examination, and only when you really grasp the power, can many problems be solved.

Su Tiancheng began to calm down, picked up the Four Books and Five Classics, studied seriously, relying on the foundation laid by Su Tiancheng before, but he also watched it with relish.

Now that the goal has been set, he will not hesitate, he will not give up until he reaches his goal, and if he does not have this minimum of perseverance and determination, he will not think that he can do things well.
