Ming politicians

After the Luming Banquet was over, Su Tiancheng thought that he would return to Pingyang Fucheng as soon as possible. He still had a lot of things to do. He had already seen the letter from his father Su Huawen. During this time, Su Huawen was busy enough. , Lei Wentong's mansion and land were all bought. The mansion cost 5000 taels of silver, and a thousand hectares of land cost 4 taels of silver. This is simply the price of cabbage.

Lei Wentong's mansion is located on Dongzhi Street, covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres. According to the normal price, at least 5 taels of silver are needed. A thousand hectares of land are all around Fucheng, at least 10 taels of silver. above.

Mrs. Wang also knew about Su Huawen's decision, so she definitely disagreed at first, but Su Tiancheng high school Jieyuan, she didn't speak anymore, besides, all the mansion and land in Taiyuan were left to Su Tianhao, such an arrangement, It's still possible. It's been almost two years since I came to Taiyuan, and the Wang family is not very used to it, and it's hard to leave my homeland.

As for buying Lei Wentong's mansion, Wang is even more happy. Doesn't it mean that Su Tianran will inherit it? I used to worry about what Su Tianran would do in the future, but now it's all right.In his heart, the Wang family felt a little guilty. He had always disliked Su Tiancheng. He never thought that the most promising member of the Su family would be Su Tiancheng. The property inherited by the three brothers would be Su Tiancheng's disadvantage, of course. , Mrs. Wang didn't know about the 1 taels of gold.

Mrs. Wang also thought of Su Tiancheng's marriage. Su Tiancheng is already 19 years old. At this age, he has not yet talked about marriage. It is impossible to justify it. Now that Su Tiancheng's status is different, it is necessary to talk about a good marriage. , It's very simple, but at this time, Mrs. Wang must be cautious.

These days, quite a few matchmakers have come to their door, and Mrs. Wang dare not agree easily. Girls from ordinary families are no longer good enough for Su Tiancheng.She thought, when it comes to a good marriage, try her best to compensate or win over Su Tiancheng.

For this reason, Mrs. Wang asked Su Tiancheng to stay at home for a few days, take a good look around Taiyuan Mansion, and return to Pingyang Mansion City in mid-September.

There are already many new imperial examination candidates in Taiyuan Fucheng who have come to visit Su Tiancheng, and some even asked Su Tiancheng to go out for a tour together and have a look around, but Su Tiancheng politely declined.But eating and drinking are indispensable, and this is also a relationship. If you pass the government examination and palace examination, everyone will be an official in the same court, even if you are a juren, you can also be an official.

"Master, someone sent an invitation."

Su Tiancheng didn't care too much. During this period of time, he had received enough invitations. Many of them were for banquets, for meeting friends through literature, and for scholars gathering to recite poems and fight against each other. What era is this? This set.

There was a faint scent on the invitation.

"Er Tong, who sent this invitation?"

"The little one doesn't know, the housekeeper gave it to the little one, and the little one sent it over."

Su Tiancheng shook his head slightly. There are still some problems in this aspect. If he was in the mansion of Pingyang Fucheng, he would never encounter such a thing. Su Pingyang would definitely figure out all the situation.

After Su Ertong went out, Su Tiancheng opened the invitation.

This is a very strange invitation with one sentence on it.

"On the first day of September, we will welcome Xie Yuanlang to the Poetry and Essay Society."

There is no location, no signature, what does this mean? Could it be that I have to go around to find out where in Taiyuan City, on the first day of September, there will be a poetry meeting.

This kind of poetry and prose meeting was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it even had a taste of choosing a husband-in-law in disguise. Some princes and relatives invited new imperial examination candidates and Jinshi to participate after the provincial or general examinations. To make friends with poetry, and to test the talents of the school or Jinshi. If you meet such young heroes, you will force your own daughter to betrothed, regardless of whether the family has already made a marriage.

Su Tiancheng shook his head. He was not interested in such a party at all. No matter who invited it, during the reign of Chongzhen, the world was close to chaos. I don't know how many people were hungry or thinking of rebellion. It must be some official lady who came out with such things. If you have such leisure, you might as well help a few ordinary people.

Early in the morning on the first day of September.

Autumn is high and crisp, it is already late autumn, and the weather is very comfortable.

Su Tiancheng took Su Ertong, Su Jun and Wang Dazhi, ready to go out for a stroll.

Since the township examination, I can't see Su Tianhao's shadow. He comes back very late every day, and sometimes he doesn't even come back. Seeing his sister-in-law's sad look, Su Tiancheng just shakes his head. Su Tianhao and Su Tianran both have a temper, so se, such a thing, I have no way to say.

Just after he walked out of the mansion, Su Tiancheng realized that something was wrong. Not far from the door, there was a carriage, and a girl who looked like a maid was standing in front of the carriage, glaring.

Early in the morning, could someone be causing trouble? Su Tiancheng turned his head to look at Su Jun and the others, wondering if the eldest brother had incurred some romantic debts, could it be that he found the mansion? In four months, could it be said that he is ready to take a concubine?

This kind of thing can't be provoked and can be avoided, Su Tiancheng lowered his head inwardly, pretending not to see it, and prepared to go around in front of the carriage.

"stop."

The crisp voice came over, and Su Tiancheng was shocked. This girl looks young, but she is very angry. She has a wronged person and a debtor, and she has never met her before. Why are you looking for me?

Since he was sloppy, he pretended to be stupid to the end. What Su Tiancheng thought of was to leave as soon as possible. Su Tianhao must have provoked the matter, and asked the servants in the mansion to clean up this mess.

"Talking about you, let's go, Xie Yuanlang is so arrogant."

Su Tiancheng stopped and turned to look at the girl.

"This girl, we are strangers to each other. I don't seem to have offended you."

"You offended my county, Miss."

Su Tiancheng was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

"Girl, who is your county lady? I have never met her before. I will offend you like this."

The servant girl's eyes could not wait to spit fire. Su Tiancheng realized that something was wrong. In front of his own mansion, such a quarrel took place. When people saw it, they thought it was something, so please invite the little girl to the mansion to make it easier. is not suitable.

"Girl, don't be angry. I guess you made a mistake. I have only been in Taiyuan Fucheng for more than a month. I really didn't offend your lady."

"Hmph, have you received an invitation, or the people in the mansion didn't give it to you."

Su Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that this special invitation had no signature, no address, and the time was today.

Looking at the posture of the girl in front of her, her identity must be unusual, and I was negligent. Such an invitation, the other party's identity, must be noble, otherwise she wouldn't have such a big tone, how did she cross over? I didn't pay attention to such things. The more distinguished a person is, the more ostentatious he is.

"Well, this is what the girl is talking about. I received the invitation, but the invitation didn't say the time or the address. I thought someone was joking."

The servant girl stared angrily at Su Tiancheng.

"Hmph, don't you know how to ask, can Xie Yuanlang pass the provincial examination, such a trivial matter, can't be solved."

"Uh, I really didn't think that it was invited by the lady of the girl's family."

"It's not my lady, who else could it be? I didn't expect Xie Yuanlang to be so arrogant."

Su Tiancheng looked at the little girl and smiled wryly, whose airs are the most arrogant.

"Hmph, my lady ordered me to come here to pick up Yuanlang."

"Do you dare to ask who your lady is? Do I know you?"

The little girl jumped up all of a sudden.

"My young lady is going to be a slave. I'm here to pick you up. You still talk so much."

Su Tiancheng's attitude was really too good, Su Jun couldn't stand it anymore, he pursed his mouth, and was about to speak, Su Tiancheng quickly raised his hand, signaling Su Jun not to speak, since the other party has such a big air, his identity must not It's simple, it's not worthwhile to offend others in a muddleheaded way.

"Well, I will follow the girl to the poetry meeting. It's just that my talents are limited. I don't know what the rules are in this poetry meeting. If I make a fool of myself, please forgive me, my lady."

The girl raised her head, snorted for a while, and stopped talking, but she already took the initiative to stand aside, waiting for Su Tiancheng to get into the carriage.

Su Tiancheng was a little bit embarrassed, he looked at Su Jun, Su Ertong and Wang Dazhi beside him, he went to participate in the poetry meeting, they must follow, it must be impossible, he hadn't put on such a show yet.

"Er Tong, Su Jun, you guys go back home."

What he meant was that Wang Dazhi would still follow, even if he wanted Wang Dazhi to go back, Wang Dazhi would not do it.

After getting into the carriage, Su Tiancheng saw the girl following him, so he didn't plan to get into the carriage.

"Girl, it's not right. I'll take the car and you walk, no, no, I'd better get down and walk, and you take the car, or I won't be able to sit still."

The girl's face turned red, and her voice became much lower.

"Young master, just take the car, don't think about it."

Su Tiancheng didn't have such a habit. It was unreasonable for a big man to sit on the carriage with a little girl walking beside him.

"No, I see it this way. Since your lady wants you to come, we all sit on the carriage, you are inside the carriage, and Dazhi and I sit outside the carriage. This way the speed will be faster."

The girl got into the car with a red face and got into the car without saying anything.

Wang Dazhi was still about to be polite, but when he thought that sitting with Su Tiancheng would be inappropriate, Su Tiancheng gave him a hard look, and then he realized that now is not the time to be polite.

After the carriage started, Su Tiancheng began to think about who invited him, why was he so pretentious, and whether it was really a prince or relative.
