Tang Yin wanted to hit the carriage with his head, this is what happened when he was kidnapped and put on a thief ship...... I can't get down again! Originally, he lived a good life of drunkenness and dreams in the city of Suzhou, but now he has to be angry and beaten on behalf of others, and he has to be collected for debts if he wants to leave.

Shen Xi pulled Tang Yin: "Brother Tang, in order to make up for your mistakes, I will prepare a table of good wine for you in the post house later, how about a drunk party?" ”

Tang Yin looked at Shen Xi with a sad face and said, "Shen Zhongcheng would be so kind? ”

Shen Xi pouted and said, "After all the fights, the matter is done, you should always go back and find a jar of old wine to have a good drink...... Speaking of which, I also want to compete with Brother Tang in calligraphy and painting, I don't know if Brother Tang is willing to appreciate the light? ”

Tang Yin's body was in pain because he had just been beaten hard, but thinking of the temptation of fine wine, this little pain was nothing, and since he lost to Shen Xi in the capital, he has been haunted by it, and there is no chance to compete along the way, and now it is rare for Shen Xi to take the initiative to mention, Tang Yin thought: "If you want to leave, don't be in a hurry, let him relax his vigilance first, and I will quietly save a few taels of silver before going on the road." Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This thief ship can be taken down no matter what, but for now, let's drink the wine that I got in exchange for the beating. ”

"Okay, that's what I mean." Tang Yin raised his arrogant head, got back into the carriage, and went back to the post house with Shen Xi to drink and paint.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves that night, and even Shen Xi felt very comfortable, after all, it was a proud thing to be able to compete with the most famous writers, calligraphers, painters, and poets of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Tang Yin is down, the two of them paint, Tang Yin has two years of accumulation of visiting famous mountains and rivers, painting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, this is also shame and courage, in the capital Min Sheng teahouse fighting painting lost to Shen Xi, in the field of another failure, so that Tang Yin realized his own shortcomings, these two years even if he lived a life of drunken dreams, but in the painting and calligraphy has not slackened.

Originally, Shen Xi was confident that he could slightly surpass Tang Yin in calligraphy and painting, but now the two sides are inseparable, and even Tang Yin has a faint tendency to surpass. Shen Xi secretly sighed: "I beat him for a while, it's opportunistic...... It's not the same as having talent and not having talent! ”

"Brother Bohu is highly skilled, and he has been taught in the next. Come, drink! ”

After Shen Xi finished reading Tang Yin's paintings, he shouted in his mouth, and only after Tang Yin drank it all did he drink the wine casually, but in fact, more than half of the wine was spilled on the ground by him. Shen Xi's purpose is very simple, to get Tang Yin drunk, so that all the paintings painted by Tang Yin belong to him, so that he can collect them as family heirlooms.

The era of this thing is not very far away, and Tang Bohu's paintings are already quite valuable after about a few decades in history, and in another one or two hundred years, they will be worth a lot in the middle and early Qing Dynasty.

Among so many painters in the Ming Dynasty, there are very few who can be compared with Tang Yin, and Tang Yin's misfortune and wild personality have brought great controversy to his life, which has helped Tang Yin's reputation in disguise.

In the world of collecting, most people buy paintings and calligraphy for a fame, and it is completely subjective to say that two paintings are placed together, whether they are good or bad, or whether they are different. And Tang Yin is a typical painting of celebrities who are more famous, and there are many talents who have never met in the Ming Dynasty, but Tang Yin is the number one among them.

Just when the two were in the middle of the competition of calligraphy and painting, and had already made four excellent paintings each, Zhu Qi came in and said: "Master, someone from the Yamen of the Political Envoy has come." ”

Shen Xi put down his paintbrush, turned his head sideways and said, "This is coming?" Isn't the reaction slow...... Brother Bohu, let's go out to meet together? ”

Tang Yin's pride as a result of painting immediately fell, and he said with a dark face: "Shen Zhongcheng is sincere in embarrassing Zaixia?" ”

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Brother Bohu's words are wrong, most of the political envoys come to apologize, and there may be generous gifts." ”

Tang Yin's eyes blinked, he was not a fool, even if he drank two more glasses, he could still settle the account in his heart. The reason why Shen Xi took him to Zhou Mengzhong's mourning hall was because the people in the political envoys took a blind attitude towards Shen Xi's arrival, and he was beaten this time, and Shen Xi had an excuse to take the opportunity to make trouble.

Zhang Yuan, the political envoy of Guangdong's right cloth, should know that he is at a loss, and he will definitely send someone to apologize, gifts are indispensable, if he doesn't go out, the gifts will be "stolen" by Shen Xi.

Tang Yin put down the wine cup and said, "Then I'll accompany Shen Zhongcheng out and listen to what they say." ”

Shen Xi smiled secretly, and walked out of the room with Tang Yin, and when he arrived at the front hall, he saw that the political envoy sent someone to bring four or five boxes of all sizes, and a Confucian official in his fifties with a goatee saw Shen Xi and respectfully stepped forward to salute: "This must be Lord Shen Zhongcheng, and the lower official came to meet him on the order of Zhang Fantai." Xia Guan is Li Jun, the left counselor of the Guangdong Domain, and he has seen Lord Shen and Tang Gongzi ......"

The person who came was very polite, not only recognized Shen Xi at a glance, but even Tang Yin knew it, and at a glance, he knew that he had done his homework since the departure of the political envoy Si Yamen.

While speaking, Li Jun asked people to open the box, which was not filled with silver coins, but some medicinal herbs and silk cloth, as well as local products from Guangdong, which didn't look very valuable, but in one of the boxes, there was a small wooden box, Li Jun pointed to the small wooden box, and said:

"It's just some due courtesy, not respect. In the past two days, Zhang Fantai has been busy with official business, and he has no time to meet Lord Shen, and tomorrow Zhang Fantai will come over in person to ask for guilt. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, this Zhang Yuan should be quite good at making trouble, knowing that he was at a loss, but he deliberately didn't mention the previous beating, so as not to be aggressively made a fuss by Shen Xi. didn't come to visit immediately, but he gave a gift first, and promised to come to visit in person tomorrow, so Shen Xi would not hold on, so that the goal would be achieved.

Shen Xi nodded: "That official is here to wait for Zhang Fantai, and I will listen to his explanation when the time comes!" ”

If the political envoy didn't mention beating people, Shen Xi would not be polite. On the surface, Shen Xi pretended to be filled with righteous indignation, showing that he would play to the court at any time, so that Li Jun could return his respects.

Li Jun politely retired, and after leaving with the people from the political envoy Si Yamen, Tang Yin looked nervous: "Shen Zhongcheng, aren't you afraid that someone will come to set fire to it, just like in Fuzhou City before?" ”

Shen Xi smiled and asked, "Brother Bohu is scared?" ”

"Why are you afraid of the death of a husband?" Tang Yin straightened his waist and said stiffly.

Shen Xi is not afraid that Zhang Yuanying will send someone to set fire, there is no grudge between him and Zhang Yuanying, today's incident in Zhou Mengzhong's Lingtang, Zhang Yuanying must have seen that he was deliberately cheating, and he couldn't tear his face for this little thing.

Besides, after Zhang Yuanying is a famous minister Zhang Lun, many people in the clan are officials in the court, and they don't have the courage to murder the imperial court, how much of a sin is this?

Even when he was in Fuzhou City, it was not Shang Yingkui who sent people to set fire to kill people, but Zi Qian, who had a grudge against Shen Xi and had a gangster spirit.

But there are some things that you can't be completely unguarded against, what if someone really wants to do something wrong? Shen Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Bohu reminds me that it seems that we have to send people to guard all parts of the post house, and if there is a water incident, it is better to take precautions." Brother Tang, how many more glasses will you and I go in and make a few more masterpieces? ”

"Hmm."

Tang Yin nodded, but his eyes fell on the gifts sent by the political envoy, especially the small wooden box, he wanted to know what valuable gifts were hidden inside.

Shen Xi's eyes were like torches, and he saw what Tang Yin thought, no matter how arrogant Tang Dacai was, he would be greedy and want to get the compensation he deserved.

Even Shen Xi himself wanted to see what was in the wooden box, if it was gold, silver and jade, it meant that Zhang Yuan should have ulterior motives in addition to compensation, so he would be so weak-hearted, he had to be careful to prevent the other party's dog from jumping off the wall and making some small moves behind his back.

"Brother Tang wants to see the compensation he deserves?" Shen Xi asked with a smile.

Tang Yin glared at Shen Xi, as if to say, I can't take this beating in vain.

Shen Xi took the wooden box in his hand, and it was not heavy, indicating that it was not filled with gold and silver. Put it on the coffee table, open it, and there is a string of pearls in sight, although the pearl size is not particularly large, but it is rare to be the same pearl round and jade, such a string of pearls, in the later generations may not be worth much money, but in this year it is definitely a priceless treasure.

"Good stuff."

Shen Xi said, "Brother Tang thinks, what is the value?" ”

Tang Yin has never been an official, and he has never seen how generous he can be when he is an official and gives gifts, but he has seen a big scene with Xu Jing, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the moment: "Don't talk about it...... Dozens of taels of silver. ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "Not to mention a few dozen taels, maybe it's worth one or two hundred yuan, this political envoy's Zhang Fantai is full of sincerity in apologizing." ”

The gifts sent by the political envoy were all worthless things from the outside, and they were worth only one or twenty taels in total, but this string of pearls was worth more than ten times, Shen Xi closed the wooden box and said, "When the Zhang Domain comes tomorrow, just return it." ”

"Huh!?" Tang Yin was not happy when he heard it.

Just now I said that this is compensation for me, and now these things should belong to me, why should I dispose of them on my behalf and say that they will be returned to Zhang Yuanying? But he thought about it again, Zhang Yuan should apologize, not for the sake of his Tang Yin's face, Zhang Yuan should be afraid that Shen Xi would play the matter of the political envoy conniving at the subordinate officials beating the governor, and wanted to calm things down by giving generous gifts.

Shen Xi asked with a smile: "Brother Bohu doesn't want to take this string of East China Sea pearls as his own and accept bribes in disguise, right?" ”

Shen Xi raised the issue to the level of "taking bribes", and even if Tang Yin coveted it at this time, he could only salute respectfully: "Don't dare." ”

"That's it, should you return or return, as for other gifts, you will accept it, what Brother Bohu likes, just pick a few pieces to go back, as compensation for Brother Bohu." Shen Xikang said with the indignation of others.

Tang Yin is very angry in his heart, you deduct the most valuable pearls, and leave that little bit of broken things, and let me "pick a few", this is to send away the flower child, right? What should I do with these medicinal herbs, silk cloth, and souvenirs, and I can't eat or drink, so do I turn around and take them out and sell them? Who am I selling to?

Tang Yin's face was gloomy: "Thank you Shen Zhongcheng for your kindness, I only need a few more glasses of good wine, this is an apology...... It's better to leave it to Shen Zhongcheng to suffer. ”

Shen Xi laughed, this staff member is really easy to dismiss, as long as good wine is supplied, even if he eats chaff vegetables, it will be no problem.

It's just that there are more words, and the temper is a little bigger!

The two went into the inner hall together to continue drinking and painting, and when Tang Yin was drunk, Shen Xi asked Ma Jiu to help Tang Yin go back to the inn to rest, he didn't want Tang Dacai to get drunk and go crazy in the post house, and Tang Da surprised the female relatives around him.

When the others left, Shen Xi carefully packed up the paintings that Tang Yin had just completed on the table, which were all genuine handwritings, and they might be used as heirlooms in the future.

"Tidy it up, go back and find someone to frame it and collect it."

Shen Xi first gave Zhu Shan an order before he smiled and said, "Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu, you think you have earned wine from me, but you don't know that one of your paintings is worth hundreds of jars and thousands of jars of wine!" Pull you to be a staff member by your side, but you won't lose the deal! ”
