On the official road from Nanjing Yingtianfu to Suzhou Mansion, a column of people and horses is rapidly marching to the south, and the leader of this team of people and horses is a team wearing flying fish suits, hand embroidered spring knife brocade guards, these brocade guards ride on the high-headed horses, looking forward to the arrogance, other pedestrians on the official road see these brocade guards, all of them are dodging, for fear of getting into trouble.

After the Jinyi guard, there is a team of honor guards for officials to travel, but because they are now in a hurry, the officials' honor guards are all put away, and in the middle of the team is a wide carriage, Wang Lun, who has been reinstated, sits on the car, and sees the majestic appearance of the Jinyi guards in front of him through the window, but he can't help but secretly shake his head and say to himself: "When people are afraid of Jinyi Wei like tigers, His Majesty only trusts these people, which is really the suffering of the people in the world!" ”

Wang Lun went out of Beijing with the holy decree to marry Zhou Chong, no, to be precise, he was driven out of the capital by Emperor Zhengde, because not long after he left the palace, a team of brocade guards found him with the holy decree and brought Zhengde's edict, so that he could leave Beijing immediately without delay, so Wang Lun, who had just been released from prison, had to leave the capital in a hurry.

However, Emperor Zhengde was still a little heartfelt, and when he drove Wang Lun out of the capital, he didn't forget to let people arrange carriages and horses and honor guards for him, after all, no matter how Wang Lun is also the deputy capital of the imperial history, this time he went out of Beijing on business, so the necessary honor guard must not be missing. It's just that Wang Lun didn't expect that Zhengde actually sent a team of Jinyi guards to go out of Beijing with him, as for the purpose and reason for this team of Jinyi guards to go out of Beijing, he didn't know anything, and on the way he also asked the Jinyi Wei Baihu who led the team, but the other party not only didn't tell him. On the contrary, he warned Wang Lun with a cold face. As a result, Wang Lun was not lightly angry. Since then, he has not paid attention to the brocade guard who opened the way in front of him.

is about to arrive in Suzhou, Wang Lun's mood can't help but get excited, the next stop in Suzhou is Songjiang, then you can see your relatives and friends, especially her daughter Jinxuan should also be relieved, in addition, this time he also brought the emperor's marriage decree, then Zhou Zhong no longer has to keep filial piety for his father, and he can also hold a grand wedding for him and Jinxuan immediately. One of his last wishes will be considered fulfilled.

Thinking that his youngest daughter was about to get married, Wang Lun was both happy and a little sour in his heart, but after all, it was not the first time he had married his daughter, so the sourness in his heart was only a flash, and soon he was only happy that his daughter could marry such an outstanding young man as Zhou Zhong.

However, just when Wang Lun was thinking about the marriage between his daughter and Zhou Chong, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the official road behind him, and then a fast horse galloped past their team.

I saw this brocade guard galloping from behind, overtaking Wang Lun's carriage. Then he caught up with the Jinyi guard team in front, and shouted at the same time: "The commander has important things to explain." Who is Ma Baihu? ”

Hearing the words of this Jinyiwei, a tall and thin Jinyiwei Baihu in the Jinyiwei team in front of Wang Lun's team immediately rode out, and then whispered a few words to the Jinyiwei, because Wang Lun was far away, and the other party's voice was also lowered, so Wang Lun didn't hear what the Ma Baihu and the messenger said, but after seeing Ma Baihu nodding again and again, and then patting his chest again, as if he was guaranteeing something.

When the messenger had finished explaining what had happened, he immediately turned his horse and went back, while Ma Baihu turned his head to look at Wang Lun's carriage, and then returned to the procession, and continued on his way. Wang Lun didn't explain to him when he saw the other party, it was estimated that it was an internal matter of their Jinyiwei, so he didn't take it to heart.

Speaking of which, there are a total of 120 Jinyi guards who went out of Beijing with Wang Lun this time, led by two hundred households, the Ma Baihu who came out of the column just now is named Ma Liang, tall and thin, and he is very shrewd, and there is also a very young Wu Shi Wu Baihu, who is a burly and extremely strong man, it is said that he is very brave and can cut off the horse's head with a knife, of course, these are what Wang Lun overheard those Jinyi guards talking about, whether it is true or not, he doesn't know, but looking at the body shape of Wu Baihu should be very credible.

When the sun set, Wang Lun and his team finally arrived in Suzhou City, but Wang Lun was very low-key in Beijing this time, and did not notify the officials along the way, so there were not many people who knew the news of his return, and the officials of Suzhou Mansion naturally did not come out to greet him, but Wang Lun did not have to worry about the residence, because the Jinyiwei in front had already informed the Jinyiwei in Suzhou City, and the inn had been arranged, which was also a little benefit from traveling with Jinyiwei.

After a whole day's journey, Wang Lun was also tired enough, so after arriving at the inn arranged by Jin Yiwei, he rested after a hasty dinner, and woke up the next day with a little tired, after all, he was old, and Jin Yiwei was constantly urging him to hurry on the road, Wang Lun was naturally a little unbearable.

According to Wang Lun's previous experience, after breakfast, Ma Baihu personally came to invite him to get in the car and hurry, so after he hurriedly ate breakfast, he sorted out his clothes and prepared to go to the carriage, but he didn't expect that at this time Ma Baihu came over and saluted him and said: "Lord Wang, we received an order yesterday to do something in Suzhou City, so I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today, if you have nothing to do, you can rest in the inn, or go to the city for a walk, as long as you can come back at night." ”

Wang Lun already felt very tired, but now when he heard that Ma Baihu was in a rare hurry, he was also happy in his heart, and immediately said: "Okay, then I will rest in the inn for a day today, and we will go back to Songjiang tomorrow." ”

After Wang Lun finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go back to his room to rest, but at this moment, suddenly a brocade guard hurriedly came over and reported to Ma Baihuyu: "Lord Qiyu, the local brothers have found Tang Yin's residence, and Wu Baihu asked you to go with him!" ”

"Well, good job, I'll go now!" Ma Baihu nodded after listening.

However, Wang Lun was stunned when he heard the name Tang Yin, and hurriedly stopped Ma Liang and said, "Ma Baihu, what are you looking for Tang Yin?" ”

Wang Lun lives in Songjiang, not far from Suzhou at all, so he also has many friends in Suzhou, although Tang Yin Tang Bohu is much younger than him, but Wang Lun admires his talent very much, so the two are also friends in the year, and now he still has a few paintings that Tang Bohu personally gave to him.

Hearing Wang Lun's question, Ma Baihu also turned around and glanced at Wang Lun at this time, and then said with a smile: "Why, Lord Wang also knows Tang Yin?" ”

"Yes, Wang not only knows Tang Yin, but also has been friends for many years, I don't know what Ma Baihu is looking for him?" Wang Lun replied, he was worried about Tang Bohu in his heart at this time, after all, it must be nothing good to have a relationship with Jinyiwei, and now he admits that he is friends with Tang Bohu, just hoping that Ma Baihu can look at his face and not embarrass Tang Bohu too much.

However, what Wang Lun didn't expect was that Ma Baihu heard that he and Tang Bohu were friends, and then Da Lu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, this time I was ordered by the top to specially invite Tang Yin to enter Beijing, as for what he is doing in Beijing, I don't know this, but I am sure it is a good thing!" ”

Hearing that Ma Baihu was only ordered to invite Tang Yin to Beijing, Wang Lun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought of the words of the Jinyi Wei messenger on the road yesterday, which made him ask a little uneasy: "Ma Baihu, Tang Yin's entry into Beijing was the order brought by the messenger yesterday?" What was the reason for Qian Commander Shi to give the order in person? ”

Regarding Wang Lun's question, Ma Baihu did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "Lord Wang, if you are not at ease, you can go with us to meet Tang Yin, and then we will convey the news, and you can also use this to talk to your friends?" ”

Hearing Ma Baihu's suggestion, Wang Lun agreed without thinking about it, for Jin Yiwei, he didn't believe it in his heart, especially since this matter was also related to his friends, although he might not be able to help much, but at least when he watched from the side, he could also make Ma Baihu dare not mess around, otherwise his name as the imperial history of the capital would not be used to bluff people.

There is a wooden building at the mouth of an alley in Wuchaofang, Suzhou, this wooden building facing the street looks very dilapidated, can only barely live in people, the wooden building is divided into two floors, the upper floor is used to live in people, the lower floor is a street frontage shop, which hangs some calligraphy, painting and embroidery.

A beautiful young woman sat behind the counter, concentrating on embroidering a pair of Su embroidery on her hand, occasionally when someone entered the store, she stood up and smiled, when the customer asked, she would also patiently explain to the customer.

The beautiful young woman in the store is surnamed Shen Jiuniang, that is, Tang Bohu's third and last wife. Shen Jiuniang was originally a famous local prostitute in Suzhou, because she admired Tang Bohu's talent, so she redeemed herself and married Tang Bohu as his wife.

Tang Bohu not only had a bumpy career, but also very unsmooth in terms of feelings, his first wife's surname was Xu, but unfortunately he died of illness at the age of twenty-four, and his parents and married sister also died successively, causing him a considerable blow, and later he married another wife, but because he would try to leak the case, his wife saw that his career was hopeless, so he left, which was a painful blow to Tang Bohu at that time, and even he once borrowed wine to pour his sorrows, and the game was in the dust.

But it was also when Tang Bohu was most painful that Shen Jiuniang, a famous prostitute in Suzhou, used the private money she saved to redeem herself, and then took the initiative to take care of Tang Bohu's life, and encouraged Tang Bohu to regain his strength with his own actions, and finally let him come out of that decadent life and began to focus all his energy on poetry and painting.
