Jinyi champion

Chapter 565

In a blink of an eye, it's September.

It's another year when you climb high and look far away, and when you appreciate chrysanthemums in autumn.

On this day Zhu Hao took a rest and went to play around the capital, but his playmate was Lou Suzhen who was dressed in men's clothing and was a womanizer.

Now Lou Suzhen is gradually coming out of the gloom. Recently, the Lou family has officially avoided being involved in the case of King Ning's treason. The case of King Ning is basically over. Lou Suzhen is grateful for Zhu Hao's help, and her long-term seclusion made her feel depressed, so she decided to Travel with Zhu Hao.

In the morning tour, I have been to many places of interest and ancient temples in the capital. When I came back, I found a three-story tea house to sit up and enjoy the scenery. Next, Zhu Hao will take Lou Suzhen to have a hot pot meal.

"Mr. Tang was going to come too, but I guess he's busy with household affairs, so he won't arrive until noon." Zhu Hao stood at the window and smiled to Lou Suzhen who was beside him.

Hearing Zhu Hao mentioning Tang Yin, Lou Suzhen's face was calm. Obviously, her relationship with Tang Yin is more on the spiritual level now, and they are mutual confidants, but they probably won't develop love or anything.

This way of getting along makes Zhu Hao very rare.

These days, it's really not a realm that ordinary people can reach if they don't ask about worldly matters, and just treat the other person as a bosom friend. In this regard, Zhu Hao even feels that he is a layman.

There are groups of scholars passing by downstairs.

The Shuntianfu Academy Examination has just ended, and many of them have just passed the entrance examination and are full of ambitions. They are preparing for the Beizhili Township Examination in the coming year. In this autumn season, they can't help but go out for a walk, do a literary meeting, and discuss knowledge.

Lou Suzhen is a talented woman herself, and she has always respected scholars. When she was in Nanchang, she organized many literary conferences. At this time, she felt a kind of intimacy in it. Whenever she saw young talents passing by downstairs, she would always look at them. A few glances.

But because of this, she couldn't help thinking about her life experience, and she was in a trance for a while.

As a human being reborn, Lou Suzhen herself is also a contradictory body, and she still doesn't know how to face her future life.

……

……

Arrived at the hot pot restaurant at noon.

This is a new store opened by Zhu Hao. It is close to the Guozijian and Confucian Temple in the north of the city, and there are relatively more scholars.

Scholars in this era like novel things very much. Autumn is a good time to eat hot pot. Many people come to patronize. When they enter the restaurant, they find that almost all of them are scholars, and the tables are very lively.

The private rooms on the second floor are full of guests.

Because the new store here Zhu Hao didn't reserve a separate private room for himself, so he had to ask someone to come and make a reservation in advance, and now there is a place to sit when he arrives at this point.

"Mr. Tang hasn't come yet..."

Zhu Hao entered the room, asked Lou Suzhen to sit down, and said with a smile.

Lou Suzhen said: "Isn't it a little far from the six yamen?"

The implication is that you know today is a working day, and the household department is in the south of the city, so if you come to the north of the city to eat, it would be strange if Tang Yin could come here in time.

Zhu Haodao: "Mr. Tang went to Taicang to do business today, mainly to hand over the collection of autumn grain...There are so many official fields in Huangzhuang, and this year's harvest is not bad. By the way, he will supervise the sowing of summer grain...Taicang is not far from here."

What he meant was that I didn't hinder your magpie bridge meeting, and I didn't deliberately arrange the place to eat here.

The location of the hot pot restaurant in the north of the city is on Shuntianfu Street, which is not far from Taicang in the east of the city, so it is very convenient for Tang Yin to come here after finishing his work.

But Zhu Hao also felt that although Tang Yin had certain abilities, he had very little experience in dealing with the government after all. With the procrastination and perfunctory of officials in this era, one thing can be done in an hour, but he insisted on paying him ten or even ten days. It can only be done in January...

I'm afraid Tang Yin is not used to this kind of boring gossip in the officialdom for a while, and this can be regarded as a kind of exercise for his ability.

At this time, the waiter from the hot pot restaurant came in and said respectfully, "You two distinguished guests, what do you want to order? Here is the menu."

As he spoke, he handed over a beautiful menu with various choices.

When Lou Suzhen was in Nanchang, she often went deep into the folks. The main reason was that she represented Ning Wangfu to win over scholars and often met with literati. Naturally, she also went to the market from time to time and saw many folk restaurants.

Zhu Hao said: "Recently, the taste is bland and needs some stimulation... Can my dear friend handle spicy food?"

"Fortunately."

Lou Suzhen seemed very easy-going.

Zhu Hao immediately sketched on it.

It might be a little troublesome for a woman with difficulty choosing to order, and Lou Suzhen didn't want to talk too much in front of outsiders, and Zhu Hao took her out, so she took the responsibility of ordering the meal.

"Let's get these first."

Zhu Hao said, "There should be guests coming in a while, and there will be more meals at that time. That's it."

Zhu Hao smiled and handed the menu to the waiter, and the waiter went to make arrangements right away.

……

……

It was the busiest time of the hot pot restaurant at noon, although the few restaurants under Zhu Hao's name were unremarkable, but after a month, he could earn at least a few hundred taels of silver from them, which can be called "making money every day".

This is much more than Zhu Hao earns as a court errand.

Just as he was about to pour a cup of sour plum soup for Lou Suzhen, a group of scholars happened to be discussing things next door, but they were talking about a poem.

It was the song "Linjiang Immortal" that Zhu Hao had given to Yang Shen before.

"...This poem Linjiang Xian can be said to be of extraordinary momentum, comparable to that written by literati and poets at the peak of Song Ci. Since the founding of our Ming Dynasty, there have been few masterpieces like this published."

The people next door obviously have a high opinion of poetry.

no way.

Yang Shen's poem, from a certain point of view, can be said to be at the forefront of Ming Ci, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the first.

Tang Poetry and Song Ci represent the highest peak of poetry, and there are few Ci poems handed down in the world in the Ming Dynasty. Such a sudden poem will naturally shake people's spirits.

Even Lou Suzhen listened carefully with her ears pricked up.

But someone next door asked: "I don't know which great talent did it?"

A bystander said: "This is surprising. Up to now, no one knows who this poem came from, but I vaguely know that it seems to come from Hanyuan, and it may be a celebrity in the Imperial College. Now there are different opinions on the author of the poem, and some people say It was written by Yang Yongxiu, the No. [-] Scholar of the Ming Dynasty."

"Wow, if it's him, it's really worthy of his reputation."

Zhu Hao: "..."

Can you do this?

Didn't you agree that you, Yang Shen, will help me make a name for myself?

Why did I give you a poem, and instead of helping you, it is said that you wrote it?Although this poem was really written by you in history, you can't play like this.

Also said that you, Yang Shen, are upright?
If you really don't envy my talent at all, why didn't you tell the world my name when you spread the poems?

Lou Suzhen said: "If it's really that Yang Yongxiu who made it, his talent is really unparalleled in the world."

These words sounded right, but Zhu Hao always felt weird in his heart. Although this poem was originally written by Yang Shen, he took advantage of the time traveler, but the problem is... what did Yang Shen do on this matter? Is it a bit unreasonable?
Zhu Hao didn't explain, and asked with a smile: "Then what do you think, compared with Mr. Tang's talent?"

One question stumped Lou Suzhen.

If we talk about the great poets of the time, Tang Yin can be regarded as the number one figure. Many of his poems are very famous in the history of Ming Dynasty. Lou Suzhen is his friend, not to mention Tang Yin's works that have been handed down, even those written by Tang Yin in private are very clear.

Lou Suzhen said: "In terms of words alone, or this poem alone, I'm afraid even Mr. Tang is far behind."

Zhu Hao nodded, that's right.

Tang Yin's poems and paintings are excellent, but in terms of ci, there are indeed no decent works handed down to the world, and Yang Shen's fame comes more from his ci.

Yang Shen's talent and his literary attainments are more solid, of course, that is after he has experienced ups and downs in the officialdom all his life and washed away all his talents.

It is impossible for Yang Shen to surpass Tang Yin in poetry.

No matter how you say it, Tang Yin is also an old stick in the poetry world.

Lou Suzhen was very concerned, but she was afraid that the people next door would hear it, so she deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "Young Master is in Hanyuan. You should have had a lot of contact with Young Master Yang. I wonder if you recognize his talent?"

Zhu Hao thought for a while, and commented: "There is no need to choose talent, but he is a bit stubborn, or...influenced by his father, now he is more like a politician than a scholar."

Lou Suzhen thought about it, could it be that Zhu Hao was jealous of Yang Shen's talent?
It doesn't look like it!

With Zhu Hao's open-mindedness, and Yang Shen being the champion, who is jealous of the other?
Maybe this is Zhu Hao's real evaluation.

"Brother, this pot is ready, let's try it first." Zhu Hao said with a smile, "It's a pity that I don't have all kinds of supplementary food made by myself here, so I will use it like this first."

Lou Suzhen didn't bother to mention Yang Shen and the poem. Originally, she wanted to wait for Tang Yin, but she didn't know when Tang Yin would come, so she might as well wait while eating.

……

……

Although Tang Yin remembered that there was an appointment here, he rushed here after Zhu Hao and Lou Suzhen were full.

"Sir, you're late, we've all finished eating, don't you mind?"

Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Tang Yin sat down and said with a bit of anxiety: "It's nothing, the matter at hand is really annoying."

Knowing Lou Suzhen very well, and there were no outsiders present, Tang Yin immediately complained.

Lou Suzhen asked, "But what's wrong with Taicang?"

Tang Yin hesitated to speak.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "It's common for officials to talk about each other. It's good that you get used to it. This is the real officialdom. Do you think it's the same as the court, talking about things and almost never hiding nonsense?"

Lou Suzhen looked at Zhu Hao, curious that Zhu Hao knew so much about officialdom at such a young age.

"So you deliberately arranged all of this today?" Tang Yin glared at Zhu Hao.

Lou Suzhen was even more puzzled by these words.

In the past, even if Tang Yin complained to Zhu Hao, he would not be in front of Lou Suzhen, but now he may be too familiar with him, so it can be said that he did not hide his ugly side at all.

Zhu Hao smiled and waved his hands: "I didn't go, and the warehouse itself has nothing to do with me. How can I arrange it? I just think that Mister should get in touch with people in the officialdom, not just people from Xingwang's mansion." Communication, after all, the old people of the palace respect you very much, and almost never refuse your requests, but others are mostly perfunctory and prevarication."

Tang Yin thought for a while, and what Zhu Hao said was right.

But at this time, the scholars in the next room seemed to have a dispute, and they said loudly: "Tang Bohu is the most famous poet in the world, and no one else can compare with him. Don't repeat it!"
