Chapter Two Hundred and Six: Blocking the Door
Chen Tang didn't know about yesterday's incident, and looked at Bao.
Ah Bao hurriedly talked about it, and after finishing speaking, he shouted: "Childe, I was fine when I was here." How can our horses kick people?"
When the servant heard this, he directly picked up his clothes, and his waist was bruised: "Look, this is not an injury?"
Ah Bao sneered: "Could it be that after I leave, you have to whip the horses, so you will be kicked and injured?"
After the truth was revealed, Jian Servant snorted angrily: "Anyway, if you kick and hurt me, you have to pay." ”
The black steward waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Ah Wu, you don't have to say a word." ”
The servant Ah Wu was stunned and stepped aside.
Steward Wu stepped forward and arched his hand towards Chen Tangyi: "In Wufeng, under Henry Commercial Bank, dare to ask Gongzi's surname Gao's name." ”
Chen Tang was about to answer, when he heard a shout, and a son came downstairs and shouted, "Steward Wu, have you done what you have done?"
When Wu Feng saw him, he hurriedly greeted him with a respectful attitude: "Childe, you are up." ”
This boy is about thirty years old, obese, a little sleepy-eyed, followed by a famous scholar, but his eyebrows and eyes are crooked, his chest is high, and he is obviously a daughter.
When the fat boy arrived, a pair of small eyes blinked, and suddenly rushed to Chen Tang, and said in surprise: "You are Chen Tang, Chen Tanhua?"
Chen Tang was stunned and asked, "Are you?"
"Haha, it's really Chen Tanhua. I am He Tianxuan, and I congratulated you when the list was released. ”
The fat boy said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Chen Tang vaguely evoked some impressions. The main list was released on the same day, there were too many scholars, taking turns to greet each other, and seeing each other in a hurry, only one side of the relationship, and there were not many things to remember. It was the other party's chubby body that deepened his memory, and suddenly said, "It turned out to be Brother He." ”
He Tianxuan's temperament seemed to be bold, and he asked very familiarly: "Chen Tanhua, how did you get to Jiangzhou? I remember, you are from Panzhou." ”
There are hundreds of top three jinshi in each subject, but the most memorable ones are only the top three in the first class.
Chen Tang replied: "After receiving the appointment, I want to go to Ningzhou as an official." ”
When He Tianxuan heard this, he immediately showed envy: "Congratulations, hey, it's a pity that I have no name on the gold list, and I have been in trouble for three years." ”
After a pause, he asked, "Who are you?"
Steward Wu hurriedly came up and explained in a low voice.
He Tianxuan's face suddenly sank, and he shouted, "Ah Wu, how did you get kicked by the horse?"
Ah Wu saw that his son-in-law was familiar with Chen Tang, and the other party was still exploring the flowers, so he suddenly froze, his mouth snorted, and he couldn't speak. In the final analysis, it was he who was about to whip the rouge horse with a horsewhip and was kicked.
Seeing this, He Tianxuan immediately said: "You did something wrong, and you still don't apologize to Chen Tanhua?"
doesn't ask who is right and who is wrong, such a thing is a trivial matter for him. Even if his own servants are right, but if they collide with Chen Tang, they have to admit their mistakes, which is a basic problem of human communication. What's more, looking at Ah Wu's demeanor, nine times out of ten, there is something wrong with this servant.
Ah Wu didn't dare to disobey, so he hurried to admit his mistake.
Chen Tang smiled: "My horse kicked and injured you, it's not good after all." Bao, losing money to others is considered a medical bill. ”
The identity of his son-in-law was recognized, and he gained face, Ah Bao and Youyan were honored, and immediately paid for it. After thinking about it, he finally took out twenty coins and handed them to Ah Wu: "Nuo, take it." ”
Ah Wu didn't dare to take it, and glanced at the childe.
He Tianxuan waved his hand: "Give it to you, just take it." ”
Ah Wu took it and hurriedly thanked him. Twenty dollars is not much, but it is the attitude given by Chen Tang. If you change to someone with a bad temperament, you will move your mouth and make He Tianxuan angry. Not to mention taking money, Ah Wu may have to suffer a reprimand, or even a whip.
Seeing this, Steward Wu hurriedly signaled Ah Wu and the others to retreat.
He Tianxuan said again: "Chen Tanhua ......"
Chen Tang interrupted: "Brother He, don't call for life, just call 'not quiet'." ”
He Tianxuan said with a smile: "It's okay, don't be careful, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you came at the right time." There is a lively poetry meeting tonight, on the night of the full moon, you can come and participate in the meeting. ”
Chen Tang replied casually: "Let's talk about it in the evening." ”
"Alright, I've got some things to do, so let's go first. ”
With a hand, he walked out.
Steward Wu also saluted Chen Tang, followed behind his son-in-law, and left the inn.
The movement just now alarmed many diners, and their eyes fell on Chen Tang, and they started to talk about it.
A first-class jinshi is indeed blessed with a halo. It's nothing if the identity is not revealed, but once it is exposed, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. Coupled with Chen Tang's youth, as well as his good appearance...... Well, it's hard not to be a public figure.
It is believed that soon, the news that Tanhualang is staying at the Yue Guest Inn will spread.
After breakfast, Ah Lai stayed at the inn and was responsible for guarding the horses, while Ah Bao followed, together with Chen Tang and Suling, and began to visit Jiangzhou Mansion.
Jiangzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a long history, dense population, prosperity and liveliness, and belongs to a real big city. On the street, people come and go, and there is a lot of traffic. The shops on both sides are lined with sections, and there are a variety of commercial goods for sale.
Although there is a unified official dialect in the written language of the Yin State, the accent dialect still exists in various places. Compared to the roughness of the North, the South is obviously much more charming. Whether it is the woman's figure and appearance, or her words, they all carry a sweet meaning.
Walking along the street, after a while, I bought a lot of things. Most of them are daily supplies to be taken with you on the road. Although it is not too far from Nanfu County when it arrives in Jiangzhou Mansion. But the preparations that should be made still have to be done. After all, after tonight, if there is no accident, they will continue their journey tomorrow.
Shopping is actually tiring, especially with women. After walking for more than an hour, Chen Tang decisively chose to return. And Ah Bao and Ah Hua are almost unable to take it down.
I had lunch at the inn, took a lunch break, read a book, wrote and wrote, and it was dusk in a blink of an eye.
"Tuk Tuk!"
There was a sharp knock on the door.
Chen Tang put down the probe pen in his hand, opened the door and saw that it was Bao.
Ah Bao looked a little flustered and a little excited, and shouted: "Childe, there are a lot of people down here, and they want to see you by name." ”
Chen Tang was stunned: "See me, what's the matter?"
Ah Bao said: "I don't know, they are all like scholars, the crowd is surging, blocking the door of the inn, and saying that they want to compete with Gongzi you for articles and poems." ”
Chen Tang frowned, and quickly figured out the intention of these people, which was nothing more than the contempt of literati, and he was not convinced that he had taken the Tanhua exam. Jiangnan talents, who are famous in the world, are arrogant. In the past, Chen Tang was in Panzhou, and they couldn't find anyone, but now that people are here, they are unwilling to let go of this opportunity. It doesn't matter if you lose, but if you win and spread the word, you will become famous.
Who said that literati are pedantic? Sometimes when the calculation starts, it is very clever.
