Tang Yanzhi expressed his admiration for Tang Zhengrong's starry eyes and wanted to get involved.
"you?"
He looked at Tang Yanzhi with some suspicion. This young man usually only learns things that are used in officialdom. Can he succeed in writing and writing?
Seeing that Tang Zhengrong didn't believe it, Tang Yanzhi even said to the waiter: "I will participate too."
"Okay, sir, what's your guest name?"
Those who come to Piaoxiang Tavern are either talented and educated, or they are high-ranking officials. Here, it can also be regarded as a meeting place for the upper class. People who come to participate can choose their true identity, or they can replace it with other identities.
"Tang Yanzhi."
After getting the name, there was some unsteady chatter in the crowd.
"The eldest son of the Duke's Mansion is the next generation of the Duke. He is the rightful master and cannot be underestimated."
You must know that the Duke of Tang in the imperial dynasty was admired by thousands of people. Without going into too much detail about Tang Yanzhi, we can also analyze it from the name. Common people are not allowed to conflict with the name of a member of the royal family, not to mention that the surname is Tang.
In response to the noisy voices around him and the envious glances he cast, Tang Yanzhi just composed a poem freely: "The candlelight depends on the hundreds of scrolls, and the dim light still looks at the present. I go to the world with a vision, and the drunken flowers bloom to welcome the moonlight."
Unexpectedly, Tang Yanzhi had this skill and was indeed better than the person who just recited the poem.
“What a poem!”
Although there are many beautiful longings in the sentence, it also carries huge wishes. Only if the officials do this, the people will have hope.
When everyone read it, they felt it in their hearts. Despite the similarities, they could also see the ambition in young Tang Yanzhi's heart.
"Now that all the poems for the competition have been collected, everyone is invited to start voting to elect the winner."
Facing Tang Yanzhi's hot gaze, Tang Zhengrong coughed twice on purpose.
It is more fair to write the name as Tang Yanzhi.
"No matter what, I'm really good at winning this time. I didn't expect you to be good at reciting poems correctly."
She rarely touches on these things. If she takes out the poems of the previous generation, she will definitely be able to crush the people around her. But when it comes to poetry, Tang Zhengrong still values originality, which is basically a person's bones and
soul.
She also doesn't want to steal the limelight and gain false fame.
There was no suspense about the result, with Tang Yanzhi's vote being far ahead.
Many people came to congratulate Tang Yanzhi. People from the He family and the Chu family were both merchants, and they were equally talented.
He Yan and Chu Yihan came together to congratulate Tang Yanzhi.
"I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so enthusiastic, but he still announced the names on the list, and I realized that Mr. Tang was also here."
He Yan was smiling, while Chu Yihan didn't have much expression. He just chewed Tang Yanzhi's poems over and over again, with hope in his eyes: "If Mr. Tang can have such thoughts, it will be a blessing for the people and me."
Waiting for the blessing."
To seek their own positions, for the He family and the Chu family, while inheriting the family business, they must also have contact with people in the court, so that they can always grasp the policies without deviation, and pass on the financial resources for a long time.
"Who is this?"
While Chu Yihan was still talking, he saw a very cute little girl beside Tang Yanzhi. Her hair was pinned back and her clothes were embroidered with lifelike patterns. She couldn't help but ask.
"This is Tang Zhengrong, my little sister. She has also been under a lot of pressure in school recently. I took her out to relax."
With that said, Tang Yanzhi generously introduced Tang Zhengrong to He Yan and Chu Yihan.
Then he turned to Tang Zhengrong and introduced: "He Yan and Chu Yihan are both the heirs of merchants. They are three years older than me and have extraordinary talents."
Unexpectedly, there were two second-generation rich people standing in front of them? Maybe more. Tang Zhengrong naturally greeted He Yan and Chu Yihan enthusiastically.
"I am Tang Zhengrong, are you also participating in the competition?"
Taking the initiative to start the topic, what she lacks now is connections. As expected, Tang Yanzhi is surrounded by people with status, and Tang Zhengrong is also interested.
The two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, and Chu Yihan said calmly: "I participated, but my vision is not as broad as Mr. Tang's. I already have admiration in my heart."
Tang Yanzhi was a little embarrassed by what he said, and the four of them began to talk freely at the table. The poem-writing scene continued below, and the woman's poem-writing scene was below.
Tang Zhengrong also learned from chatting that He Yan was the heir to the silk industry, and Chu Yihan was the heir to the grain industry. It can be said that the two had a deep connection with the dynasty.
No wonder it is difficult to become a big businessman and rely on power to do this business.
With an idea in mind, Tang Zhengrong planned to participate in the business part himself and make some money. He always felt that relying solely on the monthly money given by Duke Tang to save money would be too passive and would not lead to much wealth.
"Tang Zhengrong, so you are here!"
Before Tang Zhengrong could express his thoughts, he was scolded by a female voice and turned to look at Lin Wanru.
Seeing Lin Wanru and Tang Qinghuan really made my head hurt. I couldn't say that I couldn't fight, but I just felt like flies, constantly flying around her.
"What's the matter? Miss?"
Seeing the arrogance of his concubine, Tang Zhengrong thought to himself that maybe Tang Qinghuan had not benefited from her during this period, and now Lin Wanru was starting to find trouble.
"I want to compete with you in composing lyrics. Aren't you Mr. Luo's most valued student?"
As she spoke, Lin Wanru cast provocative eyes towards Tang Zhengrong.
He Yan and Chu Yihan saw Lin Wanru and knew the identity of this person. They seemed not to be on good terms with Tang Zhengrong. Before they could say anything, they were frightened by Tang Yanzhi's actions.
"Even Mrs. Lin's daughter has no reason to force others to do anything."
"Please come back. If you want to participate, just go by yourself. Why bring others with you?"
The voice was cold. He Yan had interacted with Tang Yanzhi many times and knew that he was very polite in dealing with people and had his own way of dealing with things. He would not lose face easily. But now because of Tang Zhengrong's voice, it seemed that he did not hesitate to talk to Lin Wanru.
Tear your face apart.
It can be seen that I am also very dissatisfied.
Listening to Tang Yanzhi's words, Lin Wanru became even more angry. It was Tang Zhengrong who made the atmosphere of the Tang family become like this, and everyone became a person who revolved around her.
Tang Qinghuan's angry look appeared before her eyes, and Lin Wanru was even more unconvinced.
"Obviously they are both sisters, Tang Yanzhi, you are too partial, why don't you call Tang Qinghuan here?"
Having said that, Tang Zhengrong was really helpless at this critical point.
But these words were indeed forceful, and Chu Yihan also felt that it was inappropriate. There were all relatives in the family, but there were still relatives who were far away from each other.
"I just want to compete with the best student in Mr. Luo's opinion, what? Could it be that Tang Zhengrong, you don't dare to accept my challenge?"
