Capital.

Before Tang Bohu could adapt to the severe cold of Shuntian Mansion, he was surrounded by people!

The good news is that there are many people, and it doesn't seem to be so cold.

Bad news, there are a lot of people, and he can't calm down at all.

This is disturbing......

Troublesome is troublesome, but the people who come are either rich or expensive, and he is really not good at driving people.

Tang Bohu's family background is not ranked at all in Beijing, he can only rely on his own talent, and he also knows that if he wants to have a smooth career in his career, he must be sophisticated.

For more than ten consecutive days, Tang Bohu's book has not been opened, and he has to see guests every day when he opens his eyes, and he can only be idle until it is completely dark.

Even, he even squeezed out the time to eat.

I didn't read the book, but I was tired.

Over time, this phenomenon has intensified, rather than abated.

The fame of the great talents of Jiangnan has spread in Beijing and has spread more and more......

It was a good thing, but Tang Bohu was in pain, so he simply didn't stay in the house anymore, and he didn't go home until it was dark.

Fortunately, in this era, there is no Internet, no photos, the world only knows the name of Tang Bohu, but they don't know his appearance, as long as the unique white hair is not exposed, not many people can recognize him.

The royal house.

Tang Bohu stopped for a long time and stepped forward to knock the knocker.

"Who are you looking for?"

"May I ask if this is Wang Shouren's home?"

"Yes, are you looking for my young master?"

Tang Bohu nodded: "He's at home, right?" ”

"The young master hasn't come back yet, but it's coming soon." The old butler was very gentle, "Distinguished guests, please come in." ”

Tang Bohu was a little shy, after all, he was not familiar with Wang Shouren, strictly speaking, he had never seen Wang Shouren, but he didn't want to go back to play on the scene, so he hesitated and said:

"It's presumptuous."

"Where, where is the visitor, the guest is a guest, and the distinguished guest is invited to come in."

Wang Hua is a humble gentleman and attaches great importance to etiquette, Tang Bohu was invited into the guest hall, the housekeeper sent tea, and called the third young Wang Shouwen of the Wang family to accompany him.

Tang Bohu, who has always been unruly, is a little restrained at the moment, and this strong scholarly atmosphere makes him, a businessman from a family, feel inferior.

The Wang family is not big, and the mansion is not luxurious, but it exudes a strong upper-class flavor everywhere.

Some things really can't be piled up with money!

Tang Bohu felt the class difference for the first time, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and the arrogance of the talented man he had always been much weaker.

The prosperity of the Jingshi is not as good as that of the Su... The state is strong, and it is even slightly inferior, however, the majesty exuded by this center of political power makes people have to be awe-inspired.

Tang Bohu personally realized that the gap between people is not wealth, nor talent, but ...... Class!

It feels like a hillbilly is in town......

Fortunately, he didn't hold back for too long, and after sitting for two quarters of an hour, Mr. Wang finally came back from class.

"I heard my friend is here?"

Wang Shouren walked in laughing and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Tang Bohu.

'Who is this man?' ’

"Since the eldest brother is back, the younger brother will retreat first." Wang Shouwen got up, "Tang Gongzi, big brother, you talk." ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Tang Bohu again, turned around and walked out of the guest hall.

Wang Shouren looked confused: No, I don't even know him?

"Tang Yin in Xia Wuzhong," Tang Bohu reported to his home, got up and waved, "Take the liberty to come to the door, please don't be surprised." ”

"Huh...... No blame, no blame. Wang Shouren returned the salute, suddenly remembered the recent incident, and said in surprise, "Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, the head of the four great talents in Jiangnan?" ”

"It's just a name, it's not worth mentioning." Tang Bohu smiled modestly and said, "I wanted to visit earlier, but what ...... Riddled with trivial matters, I have time to come uninvited today, and it is abrupt. ”

"It's okay, Tang Gongzi, please take a seat." Wang Shouren stepped forward and sat down, and said with a smile: "The fame of Tang Dacai's son, I am like thunder, and I am really extraordinary when I see it today." ”

After a pause, he said, "Brother Bohu is looking for my father?" ”

Wang Hua served in the Ministry of Rites, and the imperial examination was also in charge of the Ministry of Rites, so it was normal for Wang Shouren to have such thoughts.

"No, I took the liberty to come here for Brother Wang." Tang Bohu said, "In the autumn of last year, I met the deceased Li Qing, and after some chatting, I longed for Brother Wang. ”

"It turned out to be a friend of Mr. ......" Wang Shouren suddenly became affectionate, and introduced himself with a smile: "Wang Shouren, the word Bo'an." ”

"Tang Yin, the word Bohu."

Wang Shouren nodded with a smile: "Brother Bohu's name, I already know it, since I am a friend of Mr., I don't need to care about the etiquette of these scenes, the tea is bland, why don't you drink two cups?" ”

Seeing him like this, Tang Bohu relaxed and asked, "It doesn't affect Brother Bo'an's official business, right?" ”

"Where did you come from?" Wang Shouren laughed, "I'm not a person in the officialdom, I'm not afraid of Bohu's jokes when I say it, I've fallen off the list twice, if I don't win the first place in the spring this year, and don't talk about my father, my husband will be rough." ”

"Brother Bo'an is not ......" he suppressed his voice and asked, "Listen to Mr., you are the prince's companion!" ”

"It's just to accompany me to study, there's nothing to show off, if you can't get into the Jinshi, you can't get into the official career." Wang Shouren chuckled and shook his head.

Tang Bohu naturally didn't believe this, as the prince's companion, it didn't matter whether he was in the middle or not.

He only regarded Wang Shouren as modest.

"Brother Bo'an won't enter the palace in the afternoon?"

"Well, there are no classes this afternoon." Wang Shouren nodded, and raised his voice towards the door, "Butler, let the East Chef prepare some wine and food." ”

…

It was like a home at first sight.

Both of them have dislike of the world, and with Li Qing as a hub, they are not wary of strangers to each other, and after a few glasses of wine, the conversation box between the two was opened.

Talk about the imperial examination, talk about life......

Tang Bohu is talented, Wang Shouren pursues high, both of them are the kind of arrogant character, in the eyes of others, they are arrogant, but in the eyes of each other, they are like confidants.

Wine is less than a thousand glasses of confidants.

The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and the wine was drunk one by one, and they were stunned to drink from mid-noon to the end of Shen Shi.

Wang Hua came back from the yamen, and when he heard that there were guests at home, he came over to say hello, and when he heard that it was Tang Bohu, he was immediately interested and joined in.

Wang Hua was born in the first place, and he was quite interested in the great talents who were famous in the south of the Yangtze River, Tang Bohu was the first to show his talents, and he was the first to raise people, although he did not enter the scholar and the first, but he was only missing this imperial examination;

And he is no longer a hairy boy, he is nearly thirty years old, and he has experienced ups and downs, and his conversation is of course extraordinary, especially after letting go of restraints, he is even more outstanding!

Talk about articles, talk about poetry......

Wang Shouren couldn't even interject.

~

Approaching the evening, Tang Bohu said goodbye.

His father sent him to the door, and after chatting for a while, the two sides separated.

Wang Hua said: "Xiaoyun, how did you know this great talent who shook the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

"I run around the palace all day, how can I have time to know him?" Wang Shouren said, "Tang Bohu and Mr. Li are good friends, and they are Tang Bohu who was introduced. ”

"Li Qing?"

"Hmm."

Wang Hua groaned: "Speaking of which, this Divine Doctor Li is really extraordinary, although his personality is a little weird, he is very human. ”

After a pause, he joked: "There are two people named Li Qing in our Ming Dynasty, both of whom shine in the temple, and my father thought that he could be the third person." ”

Is it possible that the first two Li Qing are also him? Wang Shouren slandered and quipped:

"Dad, you don't have to be in the temple to make a difference!"

"Well..., yes, it's good to be a doctor who saves lives." Wang Hua nodded lightly, then his face sank, and he hummed: "Spring is coming, you kid cheer me up, I won't pass the exam again this time, don't blame me for being rude, look at Tang Bohu......"

Okay, after Yang Shen, another child from someone else's family...... Wang Shouren smiled bitterly, "Ah, yes, yes......"

The blue storm finally stopped, and the Daming Sailor set sail again, heading towards Manraka......

More than ten days later, the ship slowly stopped and moved closer to the coastline.

However, before he could anchor, he encountered a small wave of maritime forces, and dozens of gunboats circled behind an island, which was quite pirate-like.

However, it comes faster and goes more urgently.

After seeing the Daming Navy Division's ship group again, they didn't dare to let go of their farts, and they screamed and stayed away, which was really funny to look at.

Because it was far beyond the scope of the attack, and the other party was so knowledgeable about current affairs, Li Hong did not want to make trouble, and was ready to do the business first.

Li Qing didn't say anything, but just found Zhu Wanqing and asked about the safety of maritime trade.

"Uncle Li, there is no smooth sailing on the sea, there will always be evil forces on the road, and in most cases, they will be ruined and avoid disasters." Zhu Wanqing explained, "These people also abide by the rules, and after receiving benefits, they are no longer embarrassed." ”

After a pause, "But in recent years, these evil forces at sea seem to have changed a wave, and the asking price has also become a little fierce." ”

Li Qing frowned slightly: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Zhu Wanqing was aggrieved: "Uncle Li, you are busy with industrial and commercial development, Brother Hong is cracking down on smuggling, and this is not worth mentioning compared to what you have to do, I just don't want you to worry." ”

"Okay." Li Qing sighed and asked, "Do you know anything about these pirates?" ”

"There are some, but not many." Zhu Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Remember the year before last, a merchant ship in our family met them, of course, it may not be the same wave of forces; The ships of those men are equipped with cannons, and they are very good, even more powerful than our Ming......"

"Of course, it's very likely that the guys are afraid of being held accountable and deliberately said that." Zhu Wanqing said, "That time, our merchant ship was robbed of a small half of the goods. ”

Zhu Wanqing said: "Doing business, it is inevitable that you will encounter all kinds of troubles, I can't let Brother Hong come back to find the field just because my merchant ship was robbed, right?"

The water master is the water master of the Ming Dynasty, but he is not the water master of our Li family, fortunately, he doesn't have much money, so he didn't tell you. ”

Li Qing nodded slowly: "Among the sailors who came this time, have there been any people who have experienced that robbery?" ”

"Nope." Zhu Wanqing shook her head, "I'm not sure if it's true, and I'm afraid that if I don't deal with it seriously, the people behind me will have the heart of self-theft, so I will expel those people." ”

“…… All right! Li Qing regretted it, but it was not easy to find fault with Zhu Wanqing.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Do you think it could be done by the Manraka people?" ”

Zhu Wanqing recalled, shook her head and said: "According to the description of those people, it doesn't seem to be, I also feel that even if it is true that the robbery is true, most of it was not done by the Manraka people, well..., they probably don't dare;

At this point, from the fact that the shops opened in Manraka were not looted, it can also be seen that they still have a sense of awe for Daming. ”

Li Qing nodded slowly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "When you go ashore, you have to investigate this evil force carefully, how can everyone plunder the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty......"
