Ming politicians

Chapter 4 Past and Family Affair

After getting five war horses and more than 20 taels of silver, Su Tiancheng was in a particularly good mood. He had forced himself to forget the previous scene.

Su Ertong slowly came back to his senses, and still didn't speak. The young master has changed a lot. Why is this? Who doesn't know that his young master is as timid as a mouse, and he knows how to read all day long. , thinking about next year's rural examination all the time, worrying too much, and even a little crazy.

In fact, this is all related to my master and eldest wife.

My son is only 17 years old. It is said that at such an age, he has passed the entrance examination, which is a great event, but the master and the eldest wife don't think so at all, and their attitude towards the son has not changed.

My son's life is hard enough, he was born in a side room, and his mother passed away after he fell to the ground. The eldest wife loves her son very much. People also understand that they bully the young master. In this way, the young master lives in the cracks, trembling with fear. After a long time, he naturally forms a cowardly character.

My master is busy with business throughout the year, he doesn't care about the young master, and he listens to the eldest wife in everything, because the eldest wife often says that the young master is wrong, and the master also follows the lesson, which makes the young master dare not speak. up.

Maybe it's God's favor, my son is still good at studying, much better than Mr. Hao and Mr. Ran.

Mr. Hao and Mr. Ran are both born to the eldest wife, so their status in the mansion is naturally extraordinary. The long-term doting has made them form a domineering character. In Su Ertong's view, they are dudes synonymous with.

Mr. Hao is 19 years old. At the beginning of last year, he barely passed the Tongsheng examination. The eldest wife was very happy, and celebrated it as a big event. Let the master use his connections, pay money, and send him to the Imperial College in the capital to study. However, Mr. Hao is also 17 years old. , I have no intention of studying at all, I just look for flowers and ask willows every day, and I don't want to let go of the prettiest maids in the mansion.

What happened at the beginning of this year made Su Ertong feel chilling.

The master's business has grown and he has established relationships. The focus of his business has gone to Taiyuan Mansion, so he bought real estate in Taiyuan Mansion, and the eldest wife followed him to Taiyuan Mansion. The young master followed, including the second wife. There were almost no people in the old house in Pingyang Fucheng, but my young master stayed.

This is all the eldest wife's idea. She said that the old house needs someone to watch over it. This is where the family's vitality lies, and it must not be leaked. It is most suitable for the son of the family to stay behind. He is the male of the family.

Originally, my son went to Taiyuan Mansion, and he suffered a lot, so he might as well stay in Pingyang Mansion, but the eldest wife was very smart, and gave my son 30 taels of silver for living expenses every month. Thirty taels seems to be a lot, but Mr. Hao and Mr. Ran both spend several hundred taels of silver every month, which is comparable to his own son's annual expenses.In the entire Pingyang Prefecture, who doesn't know that the Su family is very rich.

The thirty or so people left in the mansion were all personally appointed by the eldest wife. Among them, the housekeeper and several key figures were all her confidantes. The housekeeper was the Su Jun that the young master was talking about.Su Jun is also in charge of his young master's monthly expenses of 30 taels of silver. As the young master of the Su family, he has no right to spend money.

What's even more exaggerated is that my son is already 17 years old, and he is not engaged. Thinking about Mr. Hao, he has already married and has concubines. A wedding is about to take place.

I don't know what my master thinks.Could it be that my master doesn't know how good the young master is at studying? If the young master wins the exam in the future, and the gold plate is signed, my master is thinking about how to deal with it.

What's annoying is that my young master's temper is still cowardly, as if the dough, whatever it is kneaded, is what it looks like, although the master, the eldest wife and the second wife have all gone to Taiyuan Mansion, but in the Su Mansion of Pingyang Fucheng , my son is still the same as before, even if he needs money, he still needs the butler to nod.

By my young master's side, the only trustworthy people are Su Ertong's family.

Su Ertong's father, Su Pingyang, and mother, Yang Shi, both entered the Su Mansion with the son's biological mother. Since the death of the son's mother, they have also fallen to the bottom of the Su mansion. , might have already been expelled by the Su Mansion, so many years, I don't know how many cold eyes and bullying I have encountered.

What the young master has done today has already made Su Ertong's mind a little insufficient.

Since he was admitted as a student, his son's personality has gradually changed, and he has studied harder. He could have gone to the Imperial College to study, but the situation in the mansion was beyond his imagination. Later, the son made a request , went to Taiyuan Mansion to study, but was also mercilessly rejected by the eldest wife.

In desperation, the young master can only study in the mansion.

Just in June of this year, Su Pingyang discovered that the young master has changed a bit. He often talks to himself with a smirk on his face. This is not a good sign. The young master is going to take the provincial examination next year, so there must be no problems. Ah, while taking care of him carefully, he asked Su Ertong to follow the young master all the time.

Su Ertong also found out that the young master gradually became a little crazy.

At the beginning of September, the son's madness became a little serious, and he often barked his teeth and claws in the house. When he was crazy, he didn't know anyone, and he kept talking about his going to the Imperial College to study. Seeing this situation, Su Pingyang and Yang were a little panicked, thinking that the young master was haunted by a curse.

Of course, this is not always the case. Every month, there are about two to three days when the young master will have such a situation.

In October, seeing that the son was about to go crazy again, Su Pingyang and Yang Shi felt something was wrong, and they were going to report to the housekeeper, begging the housekeeper to tell the eldest wife, and find the doctor to have a look.

Unexpectedly, the young master left the Su residence directly, Su Ertong had been following the young master all along, seeing this situation, he had no time to say anything, and followed the young master out.Seeing that the young master left Pingyang Fucheng, Su Ertong had no choice but to let the young master get lost. Fortunately, before Su Ertong left the city, he met an acquaintance who borrowed a tael of silver and took it with him, otherwise the two of them would go out and pay a penny. None, wouldn't it be starving to death?

The young master has been walking like this for three days. The bitter Su Ertong greeted him along the way to stay overnight. It is already October, late autumn and early winter.Seeing that the copper coins on his body were getting less and less, Su Ertong was very anxious, hoping that the young master would wake up and go back soon.

The son's behavior just now made Su Ertong unable to understand for a while.Where is that cowardly young master here? He is decisive, not procrastinating, and full of scheming. What's going on? Could it be that others say that scholars are all martial arts stars descending from the sky, and the young master has accumulated a lot of money.

The most important thing is that the young master dared to kill someone, and the tone of his speech was unquestionable.

If he hadn't followed the young master every day and was familiar with the young master's face and figure, Su Ertong would have thought that the person in front of him was not his own young master.

I don't know whether to be happy or excited, Su Ertong seemed a little excited about digging a hole.

"Er Tong, after burying these military uniforms, you and I will each leave a steel knife, and the rest of the steel knives will also be buried here and marked. It's a pity that we don't have time, otherwise, these heads will also be buried. Rest in peace."

"Young master, the young ones have strength, so it's no problem to bury these heads."

"You are stupid, I know you have time, we killed five sergeants, who knows if there are other sergeants nearby, if they meet, you and I are dead, that's my plan, tonight Don't rest, drive all night, go directly to Xiangling County, sell all the horses, these horses must not be taken back, if possible, dispose of the steel knife together, sell the horse and steel knife, you and I will Go straight back to Fucheng."

"Master, these war horses can be sold in Fucheng. I saw that there is a special horse market outside Fucheng."

Su Tiancheng glanced at Su Ertong, with a wry smile on his face. This Su Ertong had always followed the previous Su Tiancheng, with a kind heart and no scheming.

"Ertong, war horses can't be dealt with in Fucheng. We must go to Xiangling County. If we deal with them in Fucheng and someone finds out that they are war horses, what do you think will happen?"

"I understand, young master, you are really clever."

"Okay, today's matter is rotten in the stomach, even to uncle and aunt, don't tell it, you know?"
