Ming politicians

() Su Tiancheng never thought about spending the night in Wangfenglou.

In his opinion, he and Liu Rushi are just meeting for the second time. If there is such an opportunity hundreds of years later, he will not miss it. In that era, a one-night stand was not a big deal, but now it is different. I am Jiangning County The county magistrate, who will take office soon, has always been in this city of Nanjing. Without a full understanding, he rashly had a relationship, and people probably counted on it. Think about that rich son Li Jia, who was written in literary works , many people cursed.

No matter how the eight beauties of the Qinhuai River are described in history, there is one point of understanding that Su Tiancheng has deeply rooted in, that is, these women have a deeper understanding of life than ordinary girls, and they are often extremely self-respecting and extremely Inferiority, this contradictory personality, prompts them to be more cautious than ordinary girls in dealing with emotional issues.

A fair lady, a gentleman is a good man, men are like this, wake up to kill the sword, lie drunk on the lap of a beauty, this is the highest state of a man, but it is a pity that I have not yet reached that state.

The song "Giving Shadows and Pitying My Eyebrows" has already moved two of Qinhuai's eight beauties, but he is still unusually calm.

Time passed slowly, many girls were very knowledgeable, most of them got up to leave, even Liu Zhongji was helped out drunk, and Gu Hengbo was the last to leave.

Only Su Tiancheng and Liu Rushi were left in the room.

The maid Qing Cui has already made tea for the two of them.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Rushi sat on Su Tiancheng's lap and wrapped his arms around Su Tiancheng's arm, which meant that he wanted to keep Su Tiancheng overnight.

Su Tiancheng hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Miss Ying Lian, it's getting late, and it's time for me to say goodbye."

Liu Rushi's face turned pale in an instant, and her body trembled a little. She never expected that Su Tiancheng would say such a thing. In her opinion, it was Su Tiancheng who rejected her.

Liu Rushi's mind went blank.

Seeing that Liu Rushi's face changed, his body was trembling, and his body was a little cold, it was obviously a misunderstanding.

Su Tiancheng slowly explained.

"Ying Lian girl, love between men and women is a matter of course. I am not Liu Xiahui. I understand the girl's heart. It is precisely because of this that I can't be casual. A man promises a thousand gold. If the girl can trust me, let's see how it develops in the future. "

As soon as Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Liu Rushi's eyes lit up, and her body stopped shaking.

Su Tiancheng left with Su Jun and Wang Dazhi. As for Liu Zhongji, he was quite drunk and rested here temporarily.

Just as Su Tiancheng left, Gu Hengbo came in. It turned out that she hadn't left all this time.

"Sister, why don't you keep the young master?"

"Sister, you won't understand. Young Master is a dragon among men. You and I have seen too many things. Is there less of a playful thing? I didn't dare to have too many extravagant expectations. Young Master stands too high. Yes, I really look up, I have come into contact with so many rich men and literati students, now that I think about it, I don’t know how much they are worse than the young man.”

"Sister, you are looking for beauty in the eye of the beholder."

"No, sister, yesterday when the young master was arguing with the fourth young master of Donglin, I had this unusual feeling. I felt the arrogance of the young master. The appearance of the young master is elegant, with a combination of strength and softness. This is something I have never seen before. Before, I like to discuss current affairs with the Fourth Young Master, but after hearing what the Young Master said, I feel ashamed for my own talk."

"Sister, I understand what you mean. The young master is a promising person, and you are also playing games with you?"

Liu Rushi looked at Gu Hengbo and smiled wryly. After all, she had more experience than Gu Hengbo.

"Sister, you are wrong. Young Master is a very serious person. He will not make a decision lightly, but once he makes a decision, he must do it."

Gu Hengbo's eyes rolled around.

"Sister, I feel it. The young master pays special attention to you and me. If the young master doesn't come in the future, what should we do?"

"Young master will definitely come."

"Sister, there is one thing that you definitely don't believe, and I don't believe it either."

"What's going on?"

"My son is not married yet, so far I have no one."

Liu Rushi stood up in shock and looked at Gu Hengbo in disbelief.

"Sister, you can't talk nonsense about such a thing."

"Who is talking nonsense, the young master is really not married. Many people in Nanjing know about this news. I also heard that some wealthy families are already making up their minds."

Liu Rushi's expression was a little sad.

"I hate it. Those girls from rich families are married by the media, but what about us..."

"Sister, don't think so, we are the same, how amazing it is."

"Sister, you are still young, wait a few years, and you will understand."

Gu Hengbo's requirements are indeed very high. Her thinking is different from that of ordinary girls in brothels, including those ladies from big families. She doesn't have so much righteous thinking, and her pursuit is very practical. Too much, under the name of the so-called righteousness, a woman has lived too hard and ruined a lifetime of happiness. What she got in exchange was just a few comments. Of course, she is very cautious in terms of feelings. If she can marry Of course, it is a good thing for officials and eunuchs, but such opportunities are too few.

Knowing that Su Tiancheng had arrived at the Qinhuai River and had given Liu Rushi a folding fan, the little girl's heart was moved, and she did everything possible to find out about Su Tiancheng, she didn't hesitate to lower her face, and begged Liu Rushi to see Su Tiancheng.

I don't know why, Su Tiancheng gave her a completely different feeling, domineering exists, but more careful.

When Liu Rushi was leaning on Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng was very careful. If he was drinking with his sisters, he would pay attention to supporting Liu Rushi, or remind Liu Rushi that when Liu Rushi was drinking, he was also in Liu Rushi's ear Just a reminder, Liu Rushi must drink less.

These actions stimulated Gu Hengbo's nerves, she wished that the girl next to Su Tiancheng was herself.

The idea of ​​following Su Tiancheng with Liu Rushi soon came to her mind.

Of course, to achieve this goal, one must have a good relationship with Liu Rushi.

At this moment, Gu Hengbo, who was only 14 years old, made up his mind to follow Su Tiancheng, and it was precisely because of this decision that her life was completely changed.

When Su Pingyang entered the room, Su Tiancheng had just gotten up.

"Master, everything is settled."

"Well, uncle, thank you for your hard work. There are so many people. By the way, have all the people who are going to follow me to the county government office been arranged?"

"It's been arranged, but I think it's inappropriate to arrange a maid by the young master's side."

"This matter is settled like this. As long as Furong is by my side, it will be fine. The other three maids are not too young. They can be betrothed to others after one to two years in the mansion. "

"Okay, young master, it's just that in this mansion, you usually don't come back. It seems that you always feel like you lack a master. You should take the time to go back and have a look."

"Hehe, I know this. I will return to the mansion when I take a rest."

What Su Pingyang meant was that when he got up, he was hinting to Su Tiancheng that he must get married. With a mistress in the family, he would have a backbone. No matter, everyone is always restless. Su Tiancheng understands this point.

"Uncle, the placement in the nursing home is almost done."

"It's almost there. They are really powerful. They built a row of houses in such a short period of time. It's just a little difficult to resettle the tenants. I don't know what to do for the time being. Now they are all living with the nursing home. not convenient."

Su Tiancheng nodded, all of this can only be resolved after he takes office.

"I know that after I take office, I will implement household registration and nursing homes for them. It will take a few days."

"Young Master, Fu Rong has been unable to bear it for the past few days. She always wants to come here. I have persuaded her for a long time, and she shed tears every day. She said that she is with the young master, and there is no one to take care of her. I don't know what's going on."

"Hehe, I went to the capital to participate in the general examination and palace examination, and there was no one to take care of me, so I survived. After I go back, you tell Fu Rong that after I took office in the county government, I picked her up."

Su Pingyang gave some instructions before leaving. Fortunately, the distance is not far, so you can come to the inn if you have something to do.

After Su Pingyang left, Su Tiancheng frowned.

Although Su Pingyang wanted him to start a family earlier, he also mentioned a very important problem, that is, his mansion is a bit nondescript. Officials in the Ming Dynasty all implemented the avoidance system. In the county government, under normal circumstances, there is no mansion in the local area. The imperial court assesses it once every three to five years, and the chief officer adjusts very frequently. Sometimes, he leaves in less than three years.

After all, the officials of the Ming Dynasty sold themselves to the court, and they made their homes everywhere, and wherever they became officials, their homes were there.

Su Tiancheng's thinking is different, it is impossible to follow the usual system, he has too many things to do, without the help of a large group of people, don't even think about getting started.

In other words, these 3000 nursing homes are his lifeblood, and he absolutely must follow them.

Fortunately, Qu Qingze has come to Jiangning County and is his great support. The two have similar personalities, and they are very bold in doing things. They don't care about so many rules at all. It should be said that although Jiangning County Not the best place, but his development opportunities are good.

It is precisely because of this situation that Su Tiancheng is not very worried about some things. As long as the result is good, the process can be ignored for the time being. That Zhu Youjian in the capital probably widened his eyes and paid attention to his every move. There are also Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, Dong Chang, Xu Eryi, Fu Youliang, and even Sun Chuanting, Chen Yutai, Wu Weiye, etc., all paying attention to themselves.
