Jinyi champion

Chapter 241 Merry is Always Misunderstood by Passion

The ground in Jiangxi is not flat, Tang Yin is in a good mood, it seems that King Ning will not send someone to trouble him.

In the morning of the next day, Tang Yin gave two classes to several children. When it was close to noon, he took Zhu Hao out for a "walk on the street". In name, he took Zhu Hao to broaden his horizons and accumulate knowledge. Yuan Rulin, who was going to take the county examination, followed.

Zhu Hao really wanted to say, didn't Yuan Zonggao ask you to support his grandson?You don't even take his grandson out of the palace, you are really not afraid of being put on little shoes!

Because it was an errand assigned by the palace, Lu Song brought two guards in casual clothes to follow and protect them, not getting too close, as if he didn't want to disturb Zhu Hao's study with Tang Yin.

"Mr. Lu, I've seen you in high spirits recently, is there a happy event approaching?" Zhu Hao joked with a smile while walking on the road.

Seeing a group of literati gathered under the ancient locust tree in front of the Confucian Temple, Zhu Hao thought Tang Yin was going to take him in, but Tang Yin turned and walked to the side street.

this person……

It's really unpredictable.

"Did you hear what someone said? You are a child, why ask so much?" Tang Yin didn't want to talk about men and women with Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao turned his head and glanced at Lu Song who was not far away. At this time, Lu Song was talking to the two guards around him, and he didn't pay attention to the situation here.

Zhu Haodao: "Actually, I am very supportive of Mr. Lu's ability to settle down and start a business locally. It's better than going back to the south of the Yangtze River...to continue to be lonely and helpless, right? Even if there are many friends there, it can't fundamentally change your life. Why don't you Staying in Anlu is at least a promising career."

"Ha ha."

Even though Tang Yin is now relying more and more on Zhu Hao's strategies, it doesn't mean that he will accept Zhu Hao's plans for his life.

"There are quite a lot of people over there, why don't we get involved? Recently, it seems that scholars in the city have started to get together..."

Zhu Hao pointed to the location of the restaurant on one side. Before lunch time, the restaurant was occupied by literati who were idle when winter came.

These days, reading can change one's destiny, but in the end only a few can successfully change one's future. Thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination without falling off. Continue to push forward in the new year, and learn from old exams to old age.

But not every family can come up with enough rations to support a weak scholar who does nothing all day long and cannot create any value to take the exam. The final result must be...

Most scholars must work in agriculture to support their families while studying and pursuing their dreams.

Therefore, the work and rest of a scholar is basically the same as that of a farmer. He works and rests at sunrise, and spends a little time in the middle to study his homework.Most people have to wait until after the autumn harvest, when there is not much to do at home, before leaving behind all the sundries to study and prepare for the exam. Most scholars before passing the exam cannot escape such cruel rules.

Having a full meal is the top priority.

This is also the reason why the number of scholars in the city gradually increased after autumn.

Tang Yin said: "Not good, just look at their knowledge. With your level, you shouldn't mix with mediocre people. Not to mention lowering your grade, even your knowledge will decline after a long time. You have to participate in a higher level party..."

Zhu Hao blinked: "For example? Juren?"

Tang Yin said angrily: "If you want to participate in a party in the city, it's hard to reach the sky. If you can participate in the student party, it's not bad. Let's take a walk over there..."

It is said that Zhu Hao is looking for a suitable scholar to discuss knowledge with, but it is better to say that Tang Yin is looking for an opportunity to go out for a walk. Zhu Hao can see it. Tang Yin knows that with Zhu Hao's current age and knowledge, no adult is willing to talk to Zhu Hao. Sit down and talk seriously.

It was not the first time Tang Yin brought Zhu Hao out.

Those adults before found that every time they discussed knowledge with Zhu Hao, they would be overwhelmed by his knowledge, and they didn't like to talk to the old and the young.

Knowing that he is not popular among Confucian scholars, and Tang Yin doesn't like to join in the fun, why would he want to make fun of himself?

Zhu Hao suddenly understood why Tang Yin didn't bring Yuan Rulin out.

Asking Yuan Rulin to stay in class for a while longer to memorize books and write an extra four-book essay is better than going out for a walk. As for Zhu Hao... Tang Yin thinks letting Zhu Hao go out for a walk is better than sleeping in class.

No one discusses knowledge with you kid, isn't there me?In class, I always have to take into account the feelings of other children, so I can't talk to you too much.

"Mr. Lu, why don't we find a place to sit down and drink tea? Or go to Dongzhu Su, isn't he in Anlu recently? He will spend money to treat us to a good meal when he sees us..."

Zhu Hao had a shrewd expression of wanting to take advantage of others.

Tang Yin said: "Are you short of a meal? If you want to eat well, I can invite you as a teacher."

This calls itself...

Zhu Hao suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since Tang Yin had the audacity to call himself a "teacher" in front of him. At first Tang Yin was very confident and felt that he could be his teacher well, but after a series of events, Tang Yin realized that the two of them were still the same. In terms of friendship between peers, they simply no longer regard themselves as teachers.

Why are you acting uncharacteristically today?

"Okay, why don't you buy me a drink, sir, I've always wanted to learn how to drink." Zhu Hao chatted casually.

Tang Yin said with a stern face: "Wine in a glass is not a good thing. If you don't know how to do it, it's better not to learn it. If there is no such thing as wine...how can a teacher be reduced to this?"

For no reason Tang Yin expressed his emotion.

Zhu Hao pondered.

Your wandering in the second half of your life, Tang Yin, is all due to your dissoluteness in the first half of your life. It doesn’t matter whether you have alcohol or not. Don’t rely on dead things if you have problems, okay?

It can be imagined that Tang Yin may have realized that he is like a rootless duckweed because of the recent blind date, and coupled with the sense of crisis I instilled in him, he could not find his way for a while... It is also possible!

This old boy won't give up on himself again, will he?
……

……

Tang Yin really invited Zhu Hao to dinner.

I didn't specifically choose a wine shop, it was just a roadside stall.

Tang Yin didn't seem to be visiting for the first time. He sat down and ordered to eat. The old shopkeeper was about fifty years old, his face and hands were all wrinkled, and he brought a small pot of wine with him while laughing.

"This one is not bad. The rice wine is fragrant and has a long aftertaste. It is not mixed with water. The few special dishes are willing to add salt, which tastes delicious, and the shopkeeper is very polite."

Tang Yin kept praising her.

Zhu Hao looked into the distance, and Lu Song and two guards sat down at a nearby tea stand.

Just when Zhu Hao was thinking about whether he should call Lu Song and the others over to eat together, he saw Tang Yin looking at the thatched shed behind the roadside stall.

There was a woman inside, wearing an apron. Although her back was facing the door, she couldn't see her age clearly, but from the back... the woman who worked was well-proportioned, her front was convex and her back was curled...

Zhu Hao suddenly understood why Tang Yin brought him to this kind of place. The feeling is that the ulterior motive is not in wine, but in people?
Reminiscent of Lu Song's narrow smile yesterday, could it be that Tang Yin was interested in a woman at a roadside stall, but he was too embarrassed to speak in front of his juniors, so he was secretly having fun?

"Mr. Lu, who is that?" Zhu Hao asked.

Tang Yin suddenly withdrew his gaze, and gave Zhu Hao a hard look: "Don't think about it."

Zhu Hao shrugged, with an innocent look on his face, as if he was saying, I only ask who is that, and you are so strict, it seems that you have bad intentions first, so you feel that others are targeting and making fun of you, right?

Tang Yin also seemed to realize that he had overreacted, and sighed softly: "She is the only daughter of the shopkeeper's father. She was married before, but unfortunately her husband disappeared within half a year of marriage, and the clansmen bullied her and had nowhere to survive. She came back to help my father run the business. Small shop... Dad is just this girl, it's hard."

Zhu Hao almost didn't understand whether Tang Yin's "bitterness" was referring to the shopkeeper of the roadside stall or the woman who looked very good.

was talking.

The woman turned around to deliver the dishes, Zhu Hao finally saw the woman's face clearly.

Oval face, handsome appearance, not very young, there is already a trace of crow's feet in the corners of the eyes, it is estimated that he is almost thirty, if he gets married, most men look down on him... But for a widow like Tang Yin who is in his forties and has no mother-in-law , is simply not available.

Zhu Hao asked: "Mr. Lu went on a blind date the day before yesterday. Could it be her?"

Tang Yin looked ashamed and indignant: "You little child, why don't you come out to earn a living after you have five heads and six teeth and full teeth?"

Because of his anger, Tang Yin suddenly brought out the Gusu dialect, swearing so fast that Zhu Hao almost didn't understand.

"Is that so?"

Zhu Hao has eager little eyes that are eager to learn.

Tang Yin had no choice but to show his cards in the end: "No... Yuan Changshi introduced me to me. She is a woman from a local wealthy family who has not been out of the court. She looks a little ordinary, but she is younger... But I am an old Confucian, and I have nothing to do with fame. Why bother?" How about delaying the life of other girls?"

Zhu Hao nodded.

He understood.

As expected, Tang Yin may not be able to do anything else, but he is still a juror. For officials and eunuchs, it is impossible for a girl with yellow flowers to marry an old guy like him who has been married twice.

But if it's a rich family with no social status, especially a merchant's family... Tang Yin is still a favorite.

Who made Tang Yin work as a teacher in the palace, which means that he has an iron job and fame?

Zhu Hao asked: "Yuan Changshi told that family, your real identity?"

"It's not..."

Tang Yin's answer was straightforward.

Zhu Hao smiled.

If Yuan Zonggao exposes it, maybe he doesn't want to marry. The problem is that Tang Yin is famous outside, and his troubles are almost known to everyone, let alone those bad things he did in Nanchang involving pretending to be crazy, running naked, and then being chased and killed by King Ning However, just because he was held accountable by the court because of the inscription case, most people would not dare to provoke this kind of person who had been wronged by officials, or even a high-ranking official.

But if it is a woman from a small family whose husband has died, who is as beautiful as a flower and has no chance to remarry in her thirties...

No matter how you look at it, it matches Tang Yin very well.

"Ugh!"

Tang Yin shook his head and sighed again.

There seemed to be an indescribable feeling in his eyes, as if he still had some reverie about people from afar.

This is where the heart belongs!
