In the evening, in the Xiahou Mansion, Lord Xiahou was talking to Lewen when a middle-aged man came from outside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This middle-aged man, with a green hat and a green shirt, has a round face and a narrow bottom, three locks of slight beard, a slight mustache around his beak, sideburns down to his cheeks, covered with bones, a slightly thin person, holding a paper fan in his hand, looking down-and-out, but a little bohemian in his downfall.

Le Wen looked at the middle-aged man with some doubts, and said in his heart: "Could this be the noble person that Lord Xiahou said?" How can the clothes be so unruly. ”

But just when Lewen was puzzled, Lord Xiahou stood up with a smile and said very politely: "Brother Bohu, come to this mansion and let this mansion shine." ”

"The adults are too polite, and the little people are really scared when they learn that the adults invited the little people to come to the house for a banquet." Seeing that Lord Xiahou was so polite, the middle-aged man hurriedly bowed his hand and said.

When Lewen heard the word "Bohu", he was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: "Bohu? Could it be Tang Bohu? ”

Just when he was full of doubts, Lord Xiahou introduced to the three of Lewen with a smile: "Come on, come on, this mansion will introduce you to you, this is the famous painter in Jiangnan, Tang Yin, Tang Bohu." ”

Then Lord Xiahou introduced the three of Lewen to Tang Bohu, and the few of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before entering the banquet.

Le Wen didn't expect that this down-and-out middle-aged man was really the legendary Tang Bohu, not as graceful and handsome as in the film and television dramas.

But after thinking about Tang Bohu in history, he was calm.

Many film and television dramas say that Tang Yin grew up in a wealthy family and is a typical rich and handsome, which should be half true and half false. Indeed, Tang Bohu was born in a relatively wealthy family in Suzhou, he has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and his family education is also very good. When he was a teenager, he met Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming, Zhang Ling and others, and they played together, talked about poetry and papers, and it can be said that they lived a carefree and happy life.

However, a happy life is always short-lived, and life is full of changes and setbacks. When Tang Bohu was 24 years old, his father died, and the Tang family suddenly lost a pillar figure, which was a huge blow to Tang Bohu. But the house leak happened to rain overnight, and sometimes bad luck always came one after another, as if the heavenly lord was deliberately trying to test mortals. In less than two years after Tang's father's death, Tang Bohu's mother, wife, son, and sister died one after another, and only Tang Bohu was left alone in this world. We can imagine what a big blow this should be for Tang Bohu, all the loved ones, from parents to wives and children, left him one after another within two years, and Tang Bohu, who was in his twenties, suffered the greatest pain in the world.

Tang Bohu has married two wives in his life, his ex-wife Xu, born in a family of eunuchs, so enjoyable, Mu Ronghua, eager for Tang Bohu to become famous and get ahead, in 1499, Tang Bohu Township tried first, in the understanding of the Yuan, Xu was overjoyed.

Who knew that the good times would not last long, and in the second year, Tang Bohu entered Beijing to take the examination, and was innocently implicated in the case of leaking questions in the science field, and unfortunately Lang Zhong was imprisoned.

Xu learned that it was expected that Tang Bohu would be difficult to rise from now on, so he packed up and went back to his parents' house.

Since then, the two have parted ways.

Later, Tang Bohu met the official prostitute Shen Jiuniang in the Qinglou.

Jiuniang respects this talent very much, in order to make Tang Bohu have a good environment for painting, she cleaned up the makeup pavilion very neatly, when Tang Bohu painted, Jiuniang always washed the inkstone for him, toned the color, and laid the paper, Tang Bohu had this good partner, and the painting art became more and more sophisticated.

Most of the beauties he painted were from the grace and charm of Jiu Niang.

Jiuniang saw that Tang Bohu didn't treat her as an official prostitute, so she respected him even more.

Over time, the two fell in love and became husband and wife.

Two years later, Jiuniang gave birth to a daughter named Taosheng.

In frustration, Tang Yin traveled to Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places, trying to seek spiritual liberation between mountains and rivers.

After returning home from his travels, he became seriously ill again, and it took him a long time to recover after healing.

Subsequently, his younger brother Tang Shen also separated from him, and his life became more and more difficult.

Soon, Tang Bohu also fell out with Wen Zhengming because of some things, and he became completely alone.

He lived in poverty and could only make a living by selling words and paintings.

But whenever he sells for money, he indulges in wine, and his loneliness is regrettable.

Later, Tang Bohu fell in love with an abandoned house in Suzhou, which was very secluded, and Tang Bohu planned to buy it.

However, he had no money, so he borrowed money from his collection of books as collateral to buy the house, and after repairing, it was named "Peach Blossom Temple", and later after more than two years of selling calligraphy and paintings, he paid off the loan.

In the "Peach Blossom Temple", Tang Bohu felt a little comfortable, and he wrote this "Peach Blossom Temple Song" that has been passed down through the ages:

Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy under Peach Blossom Nunnery.

The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money.

When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers.

Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.

I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage and horse.

The car dust and horses are full of potential, and the wine cup flower branch hermit edge.

If the manifest is compared to a hermit, one on the plain earth and one in the heavens.

If the flowers and wine are compared to the carriages and horses, why should they be idle and I will be idle.

Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it.

I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and there are no flowers and no wine hoeing fields.

This is the self-help work of a lonely genius, and why not self-comfort under extreme disappointment and sorrow? Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it.

What can't you see? I think it's Tang Bohu's state of mind that is extremely sad and trying to escape from pain. His life in his later years was too sad, so sad that he couldn't let go, but he always wanted to let go.

During the Zhengde period, Tang Yin was forced to make a living, so he agreed to the invitation of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and served in the palace of the king of Ning.

But later, Tang Bohu gradually discovered King Ning's various rebellious acts, and he felt a deep danger, so he pretended to be crazy and stupid in the ninth year of Zhengde, forcing King Ning to release him.

Later, King Ning raised troops and was defeated and captured alive by Wang Yangming, Tang Bohu was not implicated thanks to his wit at that time, so as to save his life.

After returning home, Tang Bohu still had a difficult life, and could only write poems, articles, epitaphs, and sell words and paintings for others to make a living.

In the second half of his life, he has been spending the rest of his life in such loneliness, hardship, loneliness, and sadness, is this still the merry and talented Tang Bohu you are familiar with?

Perhaps it was because later generations couldn't bear to see Tang Bohu's lonely life, so they attached so many romantic stories to him, so his real frustrated, lonely, and sad life was gradually hidden, and what was left to future generations was always the witty and humorous, Yushu Linfeng, optimistic and positive, and talented and talented Tang Bohu.
