Jinyi champion

Chapter 425
Wen Zhengming had studied with Shen Zhou for a while, and was a little surprised after hearing the introduction.

The so-called "student" refers to taking someone as a teacher, learning academics, skills, etc. from him, and usually mastering the essence of some teacher's skills. Wen Zhengming can proudly say that he studied under Shen Zhou, but this Li Yun...you It's fine if you're not skilled, and you want to lean on Shen Zhou, it's just shameless.

Wen Zhengming smiled faintly, and said: "The handwriting is not bad, it has the style of Huang Gongwang, and the brushwork is relatively sophisticated, but it needs to be improved from the beginning to the end."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt a sense of deja vu.

Someone asked: "Is it because of brother Li's lack of pen and wrist strength?"

"This...it should be so."

Wen Zhengming didn't expect that there were people with knowledge among this group of people, so he didn't hide it anymore.

In terms of calligraphy, saying that a person lacks wrist strength is actually a kind of cryptic rhetoric. In fact, it is telling the other party that your handwriting is not magnificent enough, blindly imitating, without integrating your own feelings, it is difficult to become a master...

A group of people looked at Tang Yin sitting in the corner together.

Wen Zhengming was very curious, and followed the gazes of this group of people. After seeing Tang Yin for the first time, he was a little puzzled. He couldn't help but move a few steps, and after a long while of careful identification, he said in surprise: "Ah!?"

Tang Yin stood up, walked to Wen Zhengming's side, nodded with a smile, and immediately the two hugged each other.

Without too many words, the two hugged each other's shoulders, not crying, but more like a wailing voice, with the desolation of the elderly "seeing each other more often", which made people feel scared.

When the seven of them calmed down a little, they held each other's hands before standing still, and looked at each other with "love" in their eyes.

"Brother Zhengming, do you know this is...?"

Li Yun asked curiously.

Ge Yuxiong was deciding on how to answer, Zhu Hao took the initiative and said: "In Shanglu, I have an old friend with Zheng Zhong. I have never met each other when I was young. Today, I ran into him in a foreign land. I can't help it for a while."

Ge Yuxiong, whose original name was Wenbi, had Zhengming as his surname, but before he was seventy-seven years old, his character was changed to "Zhengzhong". Of course, only those who have a wrong relationship with Wang Shizi among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River know about it. How can others understand?
When Ge Yu spoke, although there was a tinge of Wu Nong's soft language in his accent, the Beijing accent was still quite correct, and it looked like he had practiced it all over the world.

Wang Shizi nodded: "Exactly, brother Lu and I are old friends."

Wang Shizi is Ge Yu's close friend, and they are also the seven young talents in the south of the Yangtze River. The palace pursued him, but kept secret about where Zhu Hao was hiding, and whether he had told him anything, but Zhu Hao's situation was expected to be optimistic. Now seeing Zhu Hao, he is willing to reveal his identity, so he can only help cover it up.

"It's brother Zhengming's friend. He should have no accomplishments in painting and calligraphy."

Li Yun was still angry about Ge Yu's comments on him afterwards.

Seeing Zhu Hao, Wang Shizi wanted to discuss calligraphy and painting with this group of well-educated local snakes, and bowed slowly: "When I first arrived in the capital, I haven't settled down yet, and I happened to meet a young old friend. Host a banquet for all of you. Forgive Wen and leave first."

Everyone was too understanding, no one asked: "I just arrived, even if I meet an old friend, we can discuss calligraphy and painting together, why did we slow down when we chatted and drank a little while ago?"

Prince Wang is good at explaining that Zhu Hao has no intention of concealing his identity, but he is just talking.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "Everyone, I will be the host for today. I invite you to drink tea and take my farewell..."

After finishing speaking, he asked Sun Ru to take out one hundred Wen to settle the tea money that no one downstairs had that day, and followed the previous party to take Wang Shizi out of the teahouse.

"Bohu...you...you really want to kill me!"

When Wang Shizi went inside, he finally concealed his excitement.

Zhu Hao glanced back, one of those down-and-out literati came out, only a few people looked up from behind the windows on the seventh floor.

Zhu Hao shook his head and smiled, pointing to the nearby Chongming Tower: "It's like we go outside there to talk."

Wang Shizi was a little firm. Obviously, with his current situation and financial distress, he was very suitable to entertain Zhu Hao in a low-end place like Chongming Building.

Tang Yin pointed at Sun Ru, and shouted: "What are you looking at? Your master is meeting old friends, or hurry up and book a seat, so that they can say goodbye?"

"Yes."

When Sun Ru heard that he could spend money, he went crazy.

Ge Yuxiong was relieved when he heard the words.

Zhu Haodao: "This is Tang Yin. This time he came to the Beijing Normal University Examination. He was ranked as Jieyuan in the Huguang Township Examination last year. Zheng Zhong, I haven't asked you yet, but you came to the Beijing Normal University to rush for the exam? Last year, you..."

Wang Shizi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Brother Bohu, this matter is for the time being, let's chat quickly while sitting down and drinking."

Although Wang Shizi was surprised that a man who had been in the exam for many years could pass Jieyuan, he had some questions about his relationship with Zhu Hao, so he just wanted to avoid this topic first.

……

……

When they arrived at the seventh floor of Chongming Building, the group sat down.

Zhu Hao confided all his experiences in the past few years: "To be honest, I have been serving as a guest in Anluxing Prince's Mansion all these years, and usually teaching knowledge to the prince, and this time I am also accompanying Xingwen Zhengming...that is, the future King Xing , come to the capital together to inherit the throne. Zheng Zhong, you want to reveal my details."

Wang Shizi said: "Absolutely keep your mouth shut. By the way, Brother Bohu, you are in Xingwang's mansion...how are you an official?"

"And I have an official position, just for special aides." Ge Yu said.

Ge Yuxiong sighed: "With your position as a recruiter, it is too much to be a long history in Xingwang's mansion. Why do you want to get it back?"

Zhu Hao knew how to answer.

Tang Yin thought to himself, you are a royal son, you have been destined to Juren all your life, and you think that if you become a Juren, you can go back to be an official, but you know that the chief of the palace can only be a retired soldier, and Zhu Hao's fortune is ordinary, and he is next to Zhu Houcong's calf How could it be rare to be an official of the royal family and tie himself hand and foot?

Seeing that Zhu Hao was answering, Ge Yuxiong didn't ask any more questions, and immediately asked about Tang Yin's identity.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "I study under Mr. Tang."

Wang Shizi was surprised when he heard Qian Xiaowei: "Bo... Bohu, this... this is actually your disciple? He... he is already Huguang Township Shi Jieyuan? Why... haven't you mentioned it since then?"

Ge Yu said: "Although I have known him for a long time, there are few places to support him. He is studying in the palace, and he is studying with the son, so he calls me a teacher."

"This... ugh!"

Wang Shizi naturally feels that fate is fair.

I'm so good at learning, but I've been in the exam all my life, and this kid is only a teenager, and he is already a provincial Jieyuan. Is it because there is no huge gap in the learning of Huguang and Nanzhili scholars?
Hate that I was born in Huguang?

While talking, Sun Ru came back, followed by several waiters from Chongming Building, each of whom served various dishes.

Sun Ru came over and bowed to salute: "Is there anything good to entertain, let the kitchen prepare some special dishes of the capital, I hope you will dislike it."

Wang Shizi is very curious, who is this?

Ge Yu smiled and introduced: "This is my student, and he is also the candidate for the Huguang Township Examination, so he came with me to catch the exam."

"what!?"

Wang Shizi was already in a good mood, but after listening to Ge Yu's words, it was more like being sprinkled salt in the wound.

Zhu Hao couldn't help but glared at Tang Yin.

Without you, a monster, it's already hurt my friend's face, how can you add fuel to the flames?
Sun Ru was out of the blue, with a smug face: "That's because the teacher taught me well. I used to be good at even the students. It was all thanks to my teacher's careful teaching. After eight years, the students and candidates passed the exam one after another. , It is simply a glory of the ancestors."

After hearing this, Wang Shizi wanted to hit someone.

Ge Yu said: "Don't listen to their nonsense, in fact... Tang Yin's talent is very wrong, he has been mature for many years, regardless of his age, but he is very smart, maybe you can... Oh yes, Zheng Zhong, your trip Does the capital have any purpose?"

Zhu Hao originally wanted his old friend to ask Ge Yu for advice, but if he could win a few questions, he could pass the provincial examination.But when the words came out, he found that this might hurt his old friend's face, so he simply talked about him.

Ge Yuxiong looked at Ge Yu out of embarrassment, his disciples and grandchildren had already passed the examination, but he himself was still a freshman, so he was ashamed to go out and thrown to his grandma's house.

Moreover, he was very vague. Zhu Hao had passed the examination and was retired because of his ability and ability.

"Before Xiaobi failed the rankings last year, I thought that no matter how demanding the imperial examination was, there would be no return. It happened that Jiangnan Guozi could donate a prison student to study food. Before donating prison, I came to the capital to try my luck and see if I could get a chance Official position... inquiring about the court's movements..."

Zhu Houzhao yelled to fight and kill every day, but he needed money when he moved.

The emperor himself was able to produce money, and people around him helped to make suggestions. In addition, the donation of prisons was not the first of the Zhengde dynasty. It is possible to donate a tribute student to take the national exam, and he can only ask for an official position in the Ministry of Officials...

Tang Yin knew that Ge Yuxiong's life trajectory had undergone major changes.

In history, Wang Shizi was recommended to the capital to select officials before the middle of the provincial examination in the first year of Jiajing. But in terms of the butterfly effect, Zhu Hao changed little because of Ge Yu's appearance, and Wang Shizi had nothing to do with Zhu Hao before Tang Yin changed Zhu Hao. Through direct contact...the impact is naturally very small.

Wang Shizi should have passed the exam or passed the exam, but he may have gotten some inspiration from Ge Yu, his mentality has changed, and he is ready to give up the imperial examination.

Ge Yu sighed: "Even if you can find a position in the Ministry of Officials, I'm afraid there is no way to take a step back."

What Zhu Hao meant was to remind Wang Shizi, don't be obsessed with being an official. There is no limit to the future of being an official, and you are just a student. The reputation of his calligraphy and painting made his life more carefree and restrained?

Wang Shizi smiled wryly: "Everyone has no ambitions. My father's generation was one of eight retired scholars. I was sometimes called a down-to-earth father, but I failed even in the exam... I wanted to humiliate my family."

The Wen family can be said to be a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Shizi's father and two uncles all passed the examination and retired.

Ge Yuxiong's literary name in the literary family is the lowest, but the road to the imperial examination is usually bumpy.

This formed a kind of questioning of "why you can be an official because you are very talented". Over time, Wang Shizi felt that I could only be an official to quell other people's criticisms of me.

Tang Yindao: "Wen Shibo, Xing Wen Zhengming occasionally dislikes calligraphy and painting, and he is not good at appreciating calligraphy and painting. How about going to meet again?"

"Huh?" Wang Shizi answered.

Zhu Hao glared at Tang Yin, as if asking, when did the prince stop studying calligraphy and painting?

Tang Yinze shot back with sharp eyes, as if to remind, do you think you want to help your friend?

Forget that I told you that Xingwen Zhengming is likely to become emperor?If your friend is really hopeful in the imperial examination, could it be that he can follow the path of the emperor's close minister?
Zhu Hao finally came to his senses, nodded and said, "No chance, we should see each other."

Ge Yuxiong said: "If that's the case, I'll trouble Brother Bohu to help introduce you. If... it's worth mentioning..."

Obviously the meaning in the words is that if he can get an official position in Xingwang's mansion, he will be satisfied. If he really has Yan, he will go home to see Jiangdong's elders.
