When the group left Chongming Building, they were supposed to walk along the street to see where anyone was discussing poetry and songs, or inviting paintings, so that Tang Yin could show his skills.

didn't want to take a few steps, Tang Yin suddenly turned his head sideways and looked at a teahouse next to him, his face was full of reminiscence, as if he remembered some old man, and stopped.

"What, this place inspires memories for the gentleman?" Zhu Hao asked.

Tang Yin sighed: "When I came to Beijing at the beginning of the year, I used to chant poetry and paint here, and I was full of spirit, I never thought that many years had passed, and the teahouse was there, but things were wrong." ”

As he was talking, a middle-aged scholar dressed in a straight shirt came out of it, as if he was waiting for someone.

When the middle-aged scholar saw Zhu Hao and his party, he was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly, and asked expectantly, "How many middle...... Who are Hengshan monks? ”

Lu Song stepped forward to stop this person: "There are no Hengshan monks here, go away!" ”

The other man smirked to the side.

Lu Song turned around, looked at Tang Yin, and asked, "Sir, shall we continue to move forward?" ”

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Hengshan Jushi is an old friend of Liuru Jushi, the two of them are estimated to have not seen each other for many years, knowing that the old man will come, how can Mr. leave alone?" ”

The so-called "Hengshan Layman" is naturally Wen Zhengming, who belongs to the same "Four Great Talents in Jiangnan" as Tang Yin.

"You do."

Tang Yin glanced at Zhu Hao, shook his head and sighed lightly, "Three years ago, I went back to my hometown to visit relatives, I met with him, sat down with him and chatted with him, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he actually came to Beijing this time." ”

Sun Ru's hand was already pressed on the purse, and he said loudly: "Let's wrap this teahouse!" ”

There is money in your pocket, and you are tough when you speak!

Jiang Rong looked at this senior brother with envious eyes, as if he was looking at a big money from the countryside, thinking that he could do whatever he wanted if he had money at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Hao said: "It's not necessary to wrap it up, let's go in and sit down, and wait for Mr. Lao's old friend to come." ”

Tang Yin nodded, and walked towards the teahouse, the middle-aged scholar who waited for the others before did not dare to stop him when he saw this posture, and the teahouse was not opened by his family, and he had no right to ask if anyone wanted to enter.

……

……

The teahouse is quite inferior to the Chongming building opposite, two floors, the first floor is built of bricks and stones, the second floor is basically a wooden structure, the space is cramped after going upstairs, the floor height is only about two meters, and the ceiling has a feeling of being within reach.

The floor slab "creaks" and "creaks" when stepped on, giving people the illusion that it is about to collapse at any time.

There are eight tables upstairs, and the four tables in the center have been occupied by more than a dozen young and middle-aged scholars of different ages, two of which are square tables put together, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are placed on them, and the white paper is spread out, and some people wave on them to practice calligraphy.

"Good words, good words."

A group of people flattered each other.

The style of this group of people is obviously different from those scholars in Chongming Building, and they are not like people and students who are running around for their careers, but like a group of down-and-out scholars who can only "leisurely and drink, chat to comfort their lives".

If it weren't for the fact that Tang Yin is now famous in Xingwangfu, and he already has a trace of nobility, this group of people is seven or eight points similar to the previous Tang Yin's temperament.

Tang Yin saw someone practicing calligraphy, and his interest suddenly came, which was completely different from the lethargic mental state of listening to a group of people preaching scriptures in Chongming Building, and Tang Yin belonged to the kind of free and easy character who liked to make friends with people, and even walked over.

"This word is the Yellow Valley of the road of the big line, but unfortunately the pen force is slightly insufficient, the stroke is slightly tactful, can not be done in one go, this word is not the penmanship, but arm strength, wrist strength, still need to work hard, but ...... At such an age, you are afraid that you will have a weak heart, but if you are in the prime of life, you may be able to achieve a generation of famous calligraphers and painters......"

Tang Yin didn't ask if the other party wanted to hear it, it was just a spicy comment.

The other party almost jumped to his feet when he heard this.

My pen walks the dragon and snake, and the power penetrates the back of the paper, which can be said to be well-known!

You, a bad old man who is older than me, come up and say that I can't keep up with my wrist strength when I'm old, and I can't write well...... Who do you think you are?

However, the depressed scholar has the humility of a literati, or rather...... Inferiority, they don't know the details of the other party, naturally they can't just open their mouths and scold, a face turned red, then a person came out next to the writer, asked: "I don't know who this brother is......"

Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was just waiting for someone, and these were passers-by in front of him, and suddenly felt that he was talking in the tone of commenting on his friends, and the other party might not like to listen.

In the past, he never cared about these, but after many years in Xingwangfu, he was more or less impregnated with the habits of some Confucian officials, and he began to care about the sophistication of the world, and naturally found that his actions were a little inappropriate.

Zhu Hao stepped forward and said: "My husband usually studies calligraphy and painting, and it is your honor that he can comment on you!" ”

It's not a big deal to see the excitement.

Even Tang Yin felt that Zhu Hao was too arrogant and domineering, I had deliberately put it away and said, why are you still fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire?

"Where did the madness come from? After practicing calligraphy and painting for a few days, you think you are the best in the world? This Li Yun and Li Maocai have been cultivated by Shen Shitian, a master of calligraphy and painting, and the calligraphy and painting in Beijing can be said to be the number one, where is your presumptuousness? ”

Someone next to him shouted loudly.

Shen Shitian is Shen Zhou, a famous painter, calligrapher, writer, and medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, and Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin, and Qiu Ying, known as the "Four Ming Schools", and is the founder of the Wumen School of Painting.

Zhu Hao replied loudly: "Who do you look down on? My husband's calligraphy and painting are not inferior to Shen Shitian, or ......"

Zhu Hao looked sideways at Tang Yin, with a slight urgency in his eyes, as if to say, you, the world's national master of calligraphy and painting, why don't you show your hand in front of this group of soil buns?

Tang Yin suddenly thought of what Zhu Hao said when he left Chongming Building, and thought, doesn't this kid want me to stimulate the unruly and unruly wild spirit back then, fight with the Jingshi Shizi, and let me return to the vigor of my youth?

Hiss......

"I'm old, I'm not good at writing, and my previous words were inappropriate, I hope you will forgive me."

Tang Yin actually changed his style and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Now he couldn't even look at Lu Song next to him.

You Tang Yin can be humble in other aspects, calligraphy, painting or poetry, do you have a reason to admit it? Is there anyone in the world who is more powerful than you and more famous than you?

Tang Yin pulled Zhu Hao to the side.

Those who are discussing calligraphy and painting did not make it difficult, literati, especially down-and-out literati, have a little advantage, that is, "magnanimity", if the other party takes the initiative to admit his mistakes, it will not cause a fist and foot dispute, and this kind of occasion will also be a quarrel, and one party will admit that it will be over.

……

……

When they went to the tea table by the window and sat down, Jiang Rong and Sun Ru, as Zhu Hao's disciples, could only stand, while Tang Yin, Zhu Hao and Lu Song sat around the table.

Dr. Tea came up and poured the tea.

Zhu Hao saw that the opposite side was still writing calligraphy and painting, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Sir, you haven't touched Danqing for many years, and you are a little rusty?" ”

Tang Yin shook his head: "Rusty or not, it's not a reason to fight with others, I know that your kid has good pen skills, you want to fight for yourself and make a name for yourself." I...... Alas! ”

Lu Song smiled and complimented: "It seems that Mr. Qi cultivation and kung fu have made great progress, and there is no need to accumulate fame in calligraphy and painting in front of the world." ”

The implication is that Tang Yin is very famous, and he doesn't need to find a sense of existence in front of these passers-by, and it is estimated that this group of people will not be able to make a name for him.

As he was talking, the middle-aged scholar who was waiting for someone downstairs hurriedly ran up and said, "Jiangnan genius is here......

When everyone heard this, they threw aside the pen and paper in their hands and went downstairs to greet them.

Tang Yin couldn't help but go to the window to look, but saw a carriage parked in front of the teahouse, the horse was skinny, and the carriage was poorly decorated, looking extremely shabby. The guy who drove the car helped a man in his fifties out of the car, the man was in good spirits, but he was dressed in a blue shirt and washed white, he looked a little down, his figure was shorter than Tang Yin, and his body was full of backbone.

When Tang Yin saw it, he almost burst into tears.

When people are in a foreign land and see old friends they haven't seen for many years, a sense of happiness of "meeting old acquaintances in other places" arises spontaneously.

"I don't know how he's doing, the township test...... Can it be passed? ”

Tang Yin hesitated.

Wen Zhengming's biggest regret in his life is that he failed to take the township examination nine times, and after failing the last township examination in the first year of Jiajing, he was recommended by Li Chonghe, the then secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to participate in the official examination of the Ministry of Officials as a tribute student, and obtained a "Hanlin Academy to be edicted" The official body of a small official, since then he finally has the opportunity to embark on a career in office, but because he is really a light talker, there is no sense of existence, and he left Beijing three years later to regain his freedom.

It can be said that among the four great talents in Jiangnan, in addition to Xu Zhenqing, Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin are all difficult brothers in the imperial examination.

Tang Yin is talented but not qualified to take the exam, Zhu Yunming has repeatedly failed to take the exam, and only gave up the imperial examination after his son was admitted to the Jinshi, Wen Zhengming was the most unlucky, and he didn't even get in.

At this time, Wen Zhengming, who had just gotten off the carriage, was respected by a lot of people, or was the same problem as Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming was disappointed in the imperial examination, but he was recognized as a famous artist in the world in terms of calligraphy and painting, and his ability to come to the capital was definitely a major event in the calligraphy and painting world.

But Zhu Hao felt that there were only such a group of shabby scholars waiting to greet him, and the cards were insufficient.

It's still that problem, even if you have the ability, but because you don't have the matching fame, you can't be among the inner circle of scholars...... Look at the new branch of Beizhili Xie Yuan next door, he was hugged by people at a young age, and you are a world-famous Jiangnan genius who is nothing more than that.

No, it's two Jiangnan talents.

Tang Yin didn't take the initiative to go out to meet him, but waited for Wen Zhengming to go up to the second floor of the teahouse surrounded by everyone. Wen Zhengming didn't notice this seat in the corner at all, and he didn't recognize the brightly dressed Tang Yin for a while.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Tang Yin has long been what he used to be, with a net worth of at least 1,000 taels of silver...... The palace is only secondary, as well as the dividends given to him by Zhu Hao, the rewards when the thieves are leveled, and the people in the palace give him gifts during the New Year's holidays and so on......

Tang Yin is now not lacking in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

On the contrary, Wen Zhengming's previous life was fine clothes and food, but as the influence of his parents gradually dissipated and he began to compete for personal ability, Wen Zhengming gradually walked on the old path taken in history when Tang Yin did not meet Zhu Hao due to poor circumstances, and began to be difficult in middle and late years.

"Wen family, this is Li Yun, who studied under Shen Shitian, and his handwriting has just been written...... Take a look. ”

As soon as Wen Zhengming came, he was going to be exerted by the ability of a "connoisseur" and pushed him in front of the character that Tang Yin had commented on just now.
