At the Luming banquet, Tang Yin raised people to toast on behalf of Tang Yin.

Although it was also glorious, but in the process, Tang Yin did not show much joy, but seemed to be very regretful, Wang Wei saw it in his eyes, and after the Luming banquet ended, Wang Wei specially left Tang Yin.

"I've seen the Lord."

Tang Yin came to salute Wang Wei, but Liu Ji was not seen at the scene, and Liu Ji had gone back to prepare for returning to Beijing at this time.

Wang Wei said: "Bohu, you are outstanding in learning, this Jiangnan Township Test, ranked in Yayuan, why have you been sullen at today's banquet?" ”

Tang Yin heard that there was a question in Wang Wei's tone, and explained: "The student is not a person who is not dissatisfied, but because during this township examination, the student felt that the writing and thinking were like a spring, and the article could be completed with a stroke of the pen, as if the surging river overflowed the chest, and even boasted to others...... Things do not turn out the way you want. ”

Wang Wei smiled and said: "Do you think that you are unwilling to lose to a tribute in the imperial examination?" ”

Tang Yin shook his head and said, "The student has not seen this Xie Yuan's article, and no one has mentioned it in front of the student before, so I don't know how he has learned." The students are not jealous, but they feel as if they have lost something, and the loss in their hearts is indescribable. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Wei smiled and nodded, he still admired Tang Yin very much.

Historically, although Tang Yin suffered a problem in the imperial examination and fell into the sand, but the two of them had a good relationship, they had traveled together, Tang Yin also wrote poems and paintings for him, visited many times, and Wang Wei also encouraged Tang Yin who suffered a defeat in the scientific field.

Wang Wei can also be regarded as a noble person in Tang Yin's life.

Wang Wei said: "It's good that you are self-motivated, and I might as well make it clear to you that among many candidates for the exam, your articles can be said to be outstanding, especially the smoothness of the scriptures and allusions, which is amazing. ”

Tang Yin had already accepted his fate.

But when he heard Wang Wei's words, he couldn't help but wonder.

You think my article is well written, so why am I Yayuan, and that Zhang Zhou is Xie Yuan?

"The smoothness of the scriptures and righteousness can be said to be supreme talent, but only with the community in mind, aware of the suffering of the people, and working hard, is the ability to govern the country, and you are still inferior." Wang Wei admired Tang Yin, and Zhang Zhou's Xie Yuan was originally pointed out by his stubbornness, so he felt the need to explain it to Tang Yin.

But this sounded to Tang Yin......

It's like being slapped in the ears and scraped.

You are talented, but you don't have the ability to govern the country, so you are Yayuan, and Zhang Zhou is Xie Yuan.

Isn't that swearing?

But Wang Wei reminded him to encourage him, not to hit him, Tang Yin was also sensible in the end, and he also understood that Wang Wei was well-intentioned, otherwise Wang Wei would not need to mention him alone after the Luming banquet.

"Bohu, in the spring of the coming year, I hope you can be on the high school list, Jiangnan Shizi, you are also a model. But you also have to remember that it is important to be talented, but what the court has chosen is to help the world's talents, and in this regard, I am afraid you still have to learn more from that Xie Yuan. ”

Wang Wei is heartfelt.

Tang Yin almost wanted to ask, you only read a few articles of that person, why do you think I am inferior to him?

It is true that judging people by articles is the foundation of the imperial examination, but you can understand his temperament just by reading the articles?

"Before the spring of the next year, when you come to Beijing, I am willing to introduce you to the Beijing masters, and I will come to visit when I have leisure, but it is equally important to do knowledge, and I will leave for the north tomorrow. I hope to see you in Beijing soon! ”

Wang Wei's smile was full of praise for Tang Yin.

Tang Yin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "After the students arrive in Beijing, they must come to the door to listen to the teachings. ”

……

……

Tang Yin came out of the Gongyuan, it was raining, because he didn't bring an umbrella, he could only brave the rain to get to the carriage.

After taking the carriage to the teahouse where he met with his friends, Tang Yin's body was almost wet, and Zhu Yunming came out of the teahouse, and when he saw Tang Yin, he first gave him his hand and invited him to the teahouse, and Dr. Tea gave him tea.

"When is Bohu going to leave for the north? Agreed, I intend to go with you. ”

Zhu Yunming is a five-year lifter in Hongzhi, and he has failed the test twice, and this time his friend Tang Yin was lifted, so he naturally wanted to call them together.

Tang Yin said: "There is no urgency to go north for the time being, tomorrow on the Qinhuai River, drink and talk." ”

Zhu Yunming couldn't help frowning.

Originally, Zhu Yunming thought that Tang Yin would be restrained in character, but he didn't expect Tang Yin to be more like this frustration, which made his uninhibited character even worse.

"Bohu, you are always so fond of the party, it is useless for you to go to school, with your identity as a test in Jiangnan Township, after the title of the gold list in the coming year, it is not too late to care about the wine and other things."

I wish Yunming good intentions, but it can also be regarded as a bitter mouth.

"Humph! Don't mention anything to me! It's just a tribute, or an example tribute, what kind of talent can it have? It's just that I wrote some biased and welcoming articles, and I took a temporary fame, and you still want to suppress me? When I have the opportunity, I will let him know the inferiority of talent and learning, clean up the filth of this Jiangnan science field, and give him justice! ”

"If you don't want to drink with me tomorrow, you don't have to come, go!"

Zhu Yunming looked at Tang Yin's back, couldn't help but sigh, and took out a booklet from his arms, which was part of the article written by Zhang Zhou that he got from the official of this township examination, which was regarded as a model article for the imperial examination.

He had seen it himself, had some opinions, and was ready to discuss it with Tang Yin, but he was in the dust.

"I thought that after some setbacks, you would be able to restrain yourself, your character, sooner or later, something will happen!"

……

……

Chengguo Mansion, from early in the morning, Zhu Feng is like an ant on a hot pot.

Zhu Daqi urged several times: "...... Second son, the servants and horses are ready, and Mrs. Tai has sent someone to urge you to leave early, and you can't delay it any longer. ”

Zhu Feng drove Zhu Daqi out with anger every time.

Waiting with Zhu Feng was his woman, his wife Ning Tong.

Ning Tong is the granddaughter of Ning Shan, the former commander of Jianyang Guard, and Ning Tong's father is Ning Zhen, who used to be the magistrate of Danyang County.

Although the Ning family was born in a martial arts, the Ming military family had the power of the imperial examination, and Ning Tong's father entered the country as a member of the country as a tribute student, and selected the officer.

The Ming Dynasty is not only qualified to be an official if he is promoted, and the students can also be selected through some ways.

The premise is that there is silver, and there is a relationship doorway.

Ning Tong looked at her husband's eagerness like scratching her ears and cheeks, looking leisurely and careless, holding a teacup in her hand and not drinking tea, playing with fun.

Zhu Feng said: "Tong'er, if you don't want to share the business for your husband, I won't force you, I'll just leave it all to Zhang Gongzi." ”

Ning Tong glared at Zhu Feng and said, "You want to hand over your own business to outsiders?" Do you think the people in the Mansion will listen to him? ”

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "So Tong'er, you still support me, right?" I know, after all, I have earned money, and I also have a share of you, so who is with whom? ”

"Humph!"

Obviously, Ning Tong didn't believe Zhu Feng's nonsense.

Whether the relationship between the husband and wife is good or not, the two know best.

"Second son, that Zhang Xie Yuan is finally here, and he has asked to see him outside the mansion. This is a prayer post. After noon, Zhu Daqi came in again, which could be regarded as bringing good news to Zhu Feng.

Zhu Feng was pleasantly surprised: "What else do you use?" Just invite people in! Go, and I'll go with you to meet him...... Tong'er, you can go with you. ”

Ning Tong looked arrogant: "A woman, it's inconvenient to go out to meet guests, I'll wait here!" ”

Zhu Feng smiled, and while walking out, he beckoned: "Quick, bring the wine and food too." ”
