In fact, this matter was done in a hurry, but in the eyes of others, it seemed that it was done intentionally and such a time was specifically chosen.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning, Tao Dalang, Wei Shilei and Tang Liansheng changed their clothes and left.
In fact, in Taoxiang Mansion, Taochengqi is the most famous.
Not only is the name Peach Blossom Young Master, Xiao Majia Zhu Sheng is also famous in the world. However, Peach Blossom Young Master's poems are touching, while Zhu Sheng's scoldings are vicious and sharp, never moderate and inconsistent with mainstream thinking.
Taodalang is also quite talented and famous, and because he is the eldest son, he has always represented Taofu in socializing. Although he is now an elder and has a slightly higher status, if it were Tao Er, this matter would not be easy.
It was so pretty, so I let him go.
Tang Shijin was not a scholar, so she planned to go over and offer a toast during the meal, which would be considered a sincere reception.
So it wasn't until nearly noon that she took the people there.
When Kankan arrived at the door, he saw a young man in thin clothes standing in front of the door talking to the gatekeeper.
It was said that the invitation was accidentally lost, and he reported his surname, Zeng, and remembered his past name. However, the gatekeeper did not know the person and was the one who read the invitation, so he was not allowed to enter.
Ever thought about the past?
Tang Shijin remembered that this was a person Tang Liansheng had picked out before, who happened to be from Maozhou, and later asked Wu Buzheng to check it out.
This man's name was Zeng Yi, and his younger brother Zeng Feng both had great honors, and their father was not well-known for his talents in the local area.
What was going on in their family? When his mother died in childbirth, his father recalled him in various ways and even named him Zeng Yi. He drank every day in memory of his deceased wife. That's what a man has deep love and righteousness, but he never thought about doing it for his deceased wife.
Take care of your young son...
This unlucky child stumbled until he was more than two years old. His father met another woman. He was very excited when he saw her. He said that his beloved wife had come back, so he married her as his second wife and gave birth to a son named Zeng Feng, which means
It's a reunion.
After getting married, the father continued to behave like a prodigal son and ignored his family. The child was left behind by the stepmother, and his life was very difficult. Moreover, the stepmother did not take the sweet-faced and bitter-hearted route, but went straight to the vicious-mouthed route.
The poisonous route.
At that time, Wu Buzheng only made a cursory check and found that this younger brother's meritorious service was probably passed by him.
Because this child suffered a lot since he was a child. He is three years older than his younger brother, but he is about the same height and looks like his younger brother... Then a few years ago, he first became a scholar and was the first in the crime. After that, he
The younger brother passed four examinations in a row at the age of thirteen and passed the examination, but he himself failed.
Then it wasn't until last year that he took the Juren exam again, and then the two brothers came together to take the exam.
When Tang Shijin saw it, he felt extremely sick.
Among this matter, the most disgusting thing was the father. This kind of unspeakable disgust was the most disgusting thing.
So based on various reasons, this time the invitation was posted only to him and not to his younger brother. I also knew that the disappearance of the invitation must have been caused by his younger brother.
Seeing that this man is neither humble nor arrogant, his clothes are thin but his demeanor is calm. He is in such an unfavorable situation, but he is still calm and refined, and he is not a creature in the pool.
While Tang Shijin was waiting, the gatekeeper had already seen her and hurriedly came over to salute: "Your Majesty!"
Tang Shijin nodded and saw Zeng Sigu also turned around and gave a salute.
Tang Shijin returned the courtesy and said, "Who are you?"
He said, "Good morning, Your Majesty. My surname is Zeng Mingyi. I received an invitation from Your Majesty before, but an accident delayed the time. The invitation was also ruined by this accident. Please forgive me for being impolite and reckless."
"Oh?" Tang Shijin said, "I wonder what the accident was?"
Zeng Sigu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, this post is regarded as a treasure by everyone, but when I wake up, it disappears for no reason."
Tang Shijin even laughed.
When these literati speak, they really mean one sentence with several meanings.
Smart but not pedantic, this guy can help.
Tang Shijin let his horse walk for a few steps, then jumped down, whipped his horse whip, Zeng Sigu couldn't dodge, and a trail of snow fell on his clothes.
Tang Shijin said anxiously: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She ordered the gatekeeper: "I know this Mr. Zeng, let me enter the guest room first. Mr. Zeng, I accidentally soiled your clothes. I am very sorry. You,
Go get a robe and deliver it to Mr. Zeng!"
Someone has already answered the call.
Zeng Sigu was startled for a moment, then pursed his lips and bowed deeply.
In this kind of situation, it is inevitable to pay tribute to Luo Yi first and then to others. It was difficult for him to refuse this kind offer.
As soon as she opened her mouth, someone immediately stepped forward to guide her into the guest room.
The Diaoxiu Garden is known as the largest garden in the capital, and all the people who come in are high-ranking officials. The service is naturally very attentive. They quickly brought him a complete set of cotton robes and new shoes, and said at the same time: "Let's take the young master's clothes and wash them right away."
After the banquet, you can still go back to this guest room. From today until the eighth day of the lunar month, you can eat and live as you like. In the library at the front, pens, inks, paper and inkstones are also free, and books can be read at will or taken back to the room.
middle."
Zeng Sigu asked in surprise: "Are all people like this?"
"It's all the same," the young man said, "The younger one's name is Siquan. If the young master has anything to do, you can give him any instructions."
Zeng Sigu nodded slowly, put on his clothes, and Si Quan brought him into the hall. Originally, he came late, and everyone had already taken their seats, so they were somewhat out of place, but Tang Shijin stood at the top and gave him a brief hand.
Everyone immediately became enthusiastic, stood up one after another, and invited him to sit down.
Tang Shijin smiled and said: "I just met Mr. Zeng on the road, and the horse accidentally bumped into him, so we were both delayed." This was an explanation.
Everyone has arrived, everyone has taken their seats, and they are still talking loudly.
The circle of literati has always been the most special.
Especially now that Wen Nai has entered the ranks, everyone sitting here has at least one meritorious title, and except for a few, they all have talents.
But, again, those who can read may not necessarily know how to be a human being, nor may they know how to be an official. In many cases, knowing current affairs and having character are two different ways... So there are quite a few people here who are working hard.
Talking to him, it's as if he has stumped Mr. Ge, or the prince who passed the sixth grade has become the uncrowned number one scholar.
In the Tang Dynasty, Jin's reputation was extremely high, and because of the literary battle fought by Yan Baiweizheng when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, his reputation was extremely righteous.
But even so, when she showed up, more than ten people still came forward to provoke her.
Of course, they don’t think it’s a provocation, they think it’s a kind intention to teach you!
Tang Shijin was not angry, and said with a smile: "I am a vulgar person. I am really not good at poetry, books, and learning, but I have always respected talented people the most... That's why I specially invited my brother Tao to entertain me.
You all, you are all well-read and knowledgeable, so you are very close to me."
Momotaro also smiled and said: "That's true. Jin'er is not good at these things by nature, but she is quite diligent in practicing calligraphy."
