Chapter 100 [Unbearable]
"Tang Yin!" Zhengde's heart moved, this Tang Yin is too famous, today's most famous talent, Zhengde had a tribute to Tang Bohu's hundred birds and phoenix on his birthday the year before last, Zhengde couldn't put it down, at this moment when he heard Tang Yin's name, he couldn't help but be so happy that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks, and immediately urged: "Boatman, row the boat over, I want to invite Master Tang to board the boat to meet!" ”
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky...... A small boat gradually appeared in front of everyone, only to see a scholar about fifty years old sitting on the bow of the boat stroking the piano, and a girl dressed in a verdant maid's costume was standing on the boat and singing.
These two people are Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang...... Oh, no, it's Tang Bohu and Su Rong, seeing that a boat is approaching, the two of them stood up, looked at the big boat that was getting closer and closer, and saw two heads suddenly popping out of the big boat, one of which was Duan Fei they were familiar with.
"Master Tang? …… Master Tang! Zhengde happily shouted, "I have invited Master Tang to come over the boat." ”
Tang Bohu arched his hand to Duan Fei, said to the owner, and then said to Zhengde: "Tang doesn't dare to be called a master, I don't know if your Excellency is ......."
Duan Fei said with a smile: "This is Zhu Gongzi, and he is also an elegant person, Mr. Tang, please come over, Rong'er, throw the cable of the boat up, I caught a big fish just now, but it's rare to see in a hundred years, come up and take a look." ”
Tang Bohu and Su Rong got on the boat, and the first thing they saw was the big black fish that had been replaced with water in the wooden basin.
"What a big black fish, did you really catch it?" Su Rong recognized the origin of the black fish at a glance, and she said in surprise: "I'm afraid this fish is hundreds of years old." ”
Zhengde grinned and said: "This is a black fish essence, it was indeed caught by Duan Fei, he has already given me this fish, may I ask Miss's surname?" I saw you in Yingtianfu, he saved you at that time, how did you become his maid now? Don't be afraid, girl, if you have grievances, just tell me, I will definitely make the decision for you. ”
Duan Fei remembered the legend of Emperor Zhengde's lustful feelings, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, only to see Su Rong generously replied: "The maid's surname is Su Mingrong, and after being rescued by Gongzi, he volunteered to follow Gongzi to repay Gongzi's great kindness, and Su Rong received Gongzi's kindness." ”
Su Rong glanced at Zhengde deeply as she spoke, then looked away and turned to the faces of Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, and after seeing the two big scars on Jiang Bin's face, Su Rong trembled and blurted out in surprise.
Zhengde stepped forward and reached out to shake Su Rong's hand, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, girl, although this friend of mine is ugly, he is also quite an interesting person, don't worry, girl, he won't hurt you." ”
Su Rong twisted her body slightly, retreated behind Duan Fei without leaving a trace, she lowered her head and said: "It's Su Rong who is not good, Su Rong is out of shape, please forgive Zhu Gongzi, please punish Gongzi." ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "Don't talk about you, I was also taken aback when I first met this Brother Jiang, go, next door is the kitchen, just punish you for boiling a pot of Dongting Biluochun for us, only your tea art can really make a pot of Biluochun with full color and fragrance." ”
Su Rong agreed and went to the kitchen next door, Zhengde retracted his gaze and exclaimed: "Snuggling up to the cloud bed, there is a woman making tea at night, Brother Duan, you really enjoy it." ”
Duan Fei smiled slightly, diverted the topic and introduced three people to Tang Bohu, Zhengde came back to his senses and said to Tang Bohu happily: "It's really a blessing to see Master Tang today, I don't know how Master Tang deigned to go to Duan's house to be a Xixi?" ”
Tang Bohu smiled bitterly and said, "Condescension? I have always made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, what is the respect to speak of? It is rare for Duan Gongzi to show love, so he eats in Duan's mansion, otherwise Tang is afraid that he will be down on the street. ”
"Huh?" Zhengde was surprised: "In Beijing, Master Tang's handwriting is worth a thousand gold even if it is just a plain stick that is less than a foot wide, and a picture of a spring tree and autumn mountain was bought by someone for 100,000 taels of silver, it is hard to imagine how Master Tang could have ended up in such a field?" ”
Tang Bohu smiled bitterly and said: "Tang really doesn't want to mention the past, please forgive Zhu Gongzi, today everyone should indulge in landscape poetry and music." ”
Zhengde didn't continue to get to the bottom of it, and said in a kind way: "It's so good, just listen to Master Tang playing the piano, Miss Su Rong and singing, I just feel that this song is very peculiar, Brother Duan said that this song was made by him, I still don't believe it, and now I dare to ask the master to solve my doubts." ”
Tang Bohu glanced at Duan Fei and said with a smile: "This song is indeed made by the owner, I just polished it for him, although the owner is young, but sometimes there are amazing moves, this song is just one of the many pieces he has made, the owner is quick and knowledgeable, Tang is really out of reach." ”
Zhengde looked at Duan Fei in surprise and said, "Oh? And such wonders? Brother Duan, I didn't expect you to be so praised by Master Tang, I really underestimate you, you have such a talent, why don't you take the test for fame? In this way, you can show your ambitions and do not have to wait for others to be recommended as officials. ”
Duan Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhu, don't believe him, this is really too reputation, what Duan Fei knows is just some side miscellaneous studies, let me go to read the four books and five classics to take the eight stocks is simply as difficult as the sky, the four great talents in Jiangnan who were as famous as Mr. Tang back then, except for Mr. Tang who used to be in high school Xie Yuan, the other three were all failed in the exam, Master Wen Zheng Mingwen, who I saw a few days ago, is also preparing to take the Qiuqiu exam this year, he has been taking the exam for more than 30 years and is still a child, I really don't want to waste my time in the imperial examination." ”
Jiang Bin shouted: "Nonsense, the imperial examination is the right way for the country to win scholars, how can it be said that it is a waste of time?" If they can't pass the exam, it's because they don't have enough talent, how can they blame the poor imperial examination? The imperial examination has been handed down from the Tang Dynasty, perfected by the hands of the Taizu of this dynasty, and has been recommended by the emperors of the previous dynasties. ”
A big hat was covered, and under Jiang Bin's step-by-step pressure, Duan Fei also had to fight back, he raised his fists to the sky with both hands, and said respectfully: "I didn't say that the imperial examination was bad, let alone question Taizu and the emperors of the past dynasties, why did Brother Jiang take things out of context?" Since meeting Brother Jiang today, Brother Jiang has been constantly provocative, Duan has endured it again and again, but Brother Jiang still refuses to let go, where did Duan offend Brother Jiang? Please also ask Brother Jiang to show me, if it is indeed Duan's fault, Duan is willing to kowtow to Brother Jiang on the spot and ask for guilt! ”
Jiang Bin retorted to Duan Fei so much that he had nothing to say, he just puffed up a pair of goldfish eyes and looked at Duan Fei angrily, Zhengde snorted angrily, pointed at Jiang Bin's nose and scolded: "You give me out, I don't want to see you again today, go out!" ”
