After opening it, on this title page, there is actually a five-character poem, with a signature and a seal.

At this moment, Wen Jia also understood.

"Tang Yin, Tang Bohu!"

"Sure enough, it's Tang Bohu, if you talk about painting ladies in the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid no one is out of Tang Yin's right!" Tang Yi wasn't too surprised. I saw "Self-Appreciating Eighteen Ladies" before, and I saw that the album was from the Ming Dynasty, and I already had a plan in my heart.

It's just that he didn't expect that a person like Tang Yin would leave a picture of a lady to enjoy, and it was quite formal, as if it was a very important personal object, but he had never heard of this poem inscribed on the title page:

It's hard to let go of the heart of flowers, and the eighteen souls of ladies. The ink marks have not even dried, and the pen power is shallow and deep. I don't understand what I like, but it's not my sweetheart. It's useless to say more, and a book is safe for me.

This five-word lawyer is written in a relatively white way, and it seems to contain a little playful meaning. This is in line with Tang Bohu's style of poetry, such as "others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it".

This album was left by Tang Bohu for his own appreciation, and he also made the album first and then wrote poems and paintings. The meaning revealed in it, on the surface, is to talk about the ladies with **, but the understanding of "Shi" arises, expressing a special emotion in frustration.

Although it is consistent with Tang Bohu's experience, the perspective of the ladies seems to have a deep meaning.

In fact, about Tang Bohu, the degree of legend and story is far greater than the historical materials that can stand up to scrutiny. What three smiles and a little autumn fragrance, eight wives, uninhibited, in fact, he is not so cool at all, the misfortunes and setbacks encountered in his life, ordinary people can't bear it at all.

However, it was these misfortunes and setbacks that contributed to his great artistic achievements in poetry, calligraphy and painting.

Tang Bohu got married at the age of nineteen, his father died at the age of twenty-five, and in the next two years, his mother, wife, son, and sister all died, leaving only one younger brother to rely on each other. The family has also declined, in fact, it was not a rich family, but the decline is a real decline, and it has basically stepped into the ranks of the poor.

With this alone, it is not easy for ordinary people to withstand it. Twenty-six-year-old Tang Bohu already has a lot of white hair. He wrote "Poems with White Hair", and that is indeed the case.

Speaking of which, I have to mention one point, because of this change in the family, Tang Bohu actually thought that he was a "white tiger", a broom star, and then changed his name! Originally, it was Tang Yin's character Bohu, but now, he directly changed it to Tang Yin's character Baihu.

Tang Baihu!

In fact, he has always called it this since then, and he has never used Tang Bohu for the rest of his life.

The inscription of the poem on this title page is "Sutai Tang Yin inscription and painting", and there are two seals below, the first seal is "Tang Baihu"!

Sutai, Gusutai. Tang Bohu is a native of Wuxian County, Suzhou, Nanzhili, and his works often contain the mention of "Sutai Tang Yin".

And the "Tang Baihu" in the seal is clear, and it is definitely not "Tang Bohu".

As long as it is a work after the age of twenty-six, whether it is an inscription or a seal, there is no possibility of "Bohu", so as long as there is, it must be a fake.

The seal below is "Nanjing Jieyuan".

Tang Bohu is indeed the Xie Yuan in the township test. Originally, getting out of the haze of losing his family and participating in the imperial examination gave him new hope, and the first hurdle was successfully passed.

At that time, he was persuaded by his friend Zhu Zhishan to begin to prepare for the imperial examination. A genius is a genius, this can't be compared, at the age of twenty-nine, Tang Yin won the first place in the Ying Tianfu Township test and became Xie Yuan in one fell swoop.

It's been a few years, and the pain of losing a family member has eased a lot. Tang Bohu began to be complacent again.

His goal: to win three yuan!

This can also be seen in the poem "Xie Zhusi after receiving the Yuan Dynasty" written by him. Among them, there is a sentence "Red Aya dares to look forward to next year's cake". Next year, it's time to try, and he's going to go to Huiyuan! Those who have won the Huiyuan will naturally have to enter the palace examination, and who doesn't want to win the champion again in the palace examination?

However, he only crossed this first hurdle. In the exam, a heavier blow than failing the list is coming again!

It was a spring, and the 30-year-old Tang Bohu was in high spirits and went to Beijing to take the entrance examination. This year's examination is a little different, and Cheng Minzheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the examination. This person is very knowledgeable, and the questions are difficult to come up with. In particular, there is a "question and policy" that was made from a secluded ancient book "Retreat from Fasting".

This question made most of the students who took the examination bitter. As a result, Tang Bohu answered very well.

If that's all there is to it, that's fine. However, there is one more person who also answered! This person's name is Xu Jing, he is a rich second generation, the two came to the capital on the same boat for the exam, and when they arrived in the capital, they still lived together.

Not all rich second generations have the problem of arrogance and lasciviousness, but Xu Jing has. Let's just talk about entering Beijing for the exam, he also brought six plays, went out to the street, and rode a high-headed horse to swagger through the market. Is this an exam coming or is it a show?

Showmanship is no good drop. The students were jealous, and the court officials remembered it. What's more, after the exam, Xu Jing still shouted everywhere "can be a big kui". Tang Bohu was also a little fluttery at this time, and followed Xu Jing around, among them, he went to the house of the chief examiner Cheng Minzheng, and his tone was naturally bigger than Xu Jing, not "Kezhong Dakui", but "champion"!

It's impossible not to have an accident.

Driven by a spokesman named Hua Chang, a group of speech officials took action one after another, and the theme was basically Cheng Minzheng's leakage. In the end, Cheng Minzheng, Xu Jing, and Tang Bohu were all imprisoned. The most terrible thing is that Xu Jing confessed, saying that he had bought Cheng Minzheng's henchmen, got the test questions, and gave them to Tang Bohu.

In this way, Tang Bohu's new life goal that he worked hard to achieve after experiencing the pain of losing his family was shattered. This Hua Chang, later in the play, was also choreographed as "Hua Taishi". In fact, he is just a small official of the seventh grade in the matter, and he is very different from the Taishi.

At this time, Tang Bohu's second wife also ran away.

After being released, Tang Bohu's state can be imagined, he began to sell paintings for a living, and he was a bit of a madman.

However, he had only one spiritual comfort. This spiritual comfort is a confidant, and she can be regarded as the third wife in his heart, named Shen Jiuniang.

Shen Jiuniang's identity is the same as that of Guqin.

Shen Jiuniang is a famous prostitute, born beautiful, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Of course, Tang Bohu met her in the Qinglou.

Famous prostitutes and ordinary prostitutes are always a little different, Shen Jiuniang should be really in love with Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu often paints in the Qinglou, Shen Jiuniang is very thoughtful on the side, what grinding ink and washing inkstone, paving paper and coloring, professional and considerate.
