Encounter with the Four Great Talents

After Tang Yin received the letter, he unfolded it and read it immediately. Seeing his father's affirmation and praise for his imperial examination results, he was naturally very proud. Fortunately, he also knew that he should be gentle, so he just raised the corner of his mouth and showed a mouthful of neat teeth. smile.

However, seeing the end, Tang Yin couldn't help having a headache, and raised his eyes to secretly look at Tang Shen.Tang Shen was sitting crookedly on the chair by the window, turning his head to look at the moon outside the window, holding a banana fan in one hand and shaking it lightly.Seeing that he didn't pay attention to himself, Tang Yin read the letter again, bit his lip for a while, finally made up his mind, and said cautiously: "It is reasonable for us to go home. But Shen'er, you have just recovered from your illness. How long, if you are in a hurry to go home, the bumps along the way may hurt you again. Why don't I write a letter to go home, and we can leave after you recover from your illness."

Tang Shen glanced at him and didn't say anything. He just stood up holding the handrail, patted his mouth with a fan and yawned, "It doesn't matter how long you want to stay here, but it's not far from autumn harvest. But there is not so much time to delay. I will leave home in three days, if the eldest brother doesn't want to leave, you can take care of it yourself." He seemed to be extremely sleepy, and left in a steady step.

Tang Yin's heart was suddenly in a state of confusion, and deep grievances welled up in his heart.He and Brother Tang Shen have always been very close for so many years, so he naturally understands that Tang Shen's attitude towards him now is somewhat different from the past.In fact, he himself can roughly guess that it should be because of Zhu Yunming's relationship that he looks a little unhappy with himself.He didn't understand why he did this, but in his opinion, although what Tang Shen said today was not unreasonable, Zhu Yunming was also doing it for his own good.

Tang Shen seldom deals with people. Although he can't say it's gentle, he still gives the other party enough face.But it was the first time Tang Yin saw Tang Shen being so forceful and unreasonable today.

Could it be that Tang Shen was unhappy with himself and Zhu Yunming... But he didn't do anything out of the ordinary!

Tang Yin couldn't figure it out, so he decided to ask Zhu Yunming the next day.

Tang Yin was not calm, but Tang Shen slept well.After all, he is not well yet, after all he is tired after being busy from morning to night today.In addition, when I met Wen Zhengming later, we chatted up and became a little excited mentally, which made me feel even more tired.So almost as soon as he lay down, he fell asleep like a pig. No matter how hot the weather was, it didn't affect his good sleep.And he didn't wake up until noon the next day, and by this time, Tang Yin had already gone out.

Regarding Tang Yin's going out early in the morning, Tang Shen had already guessed.His eldest brother, to put it nicely, has a gentle and weak temper, and to put it bluntly, he is a useless piece of wood.No, Waste Chai can still put the bottom of the table, but he can't even do it well.Fortunately, he was good at learning and was rewarded by God, otherwise, he would really accomplish nothing.

Tang Yin's biggest problem is not that he has no opinions, but that he likes to cling to others.He has been taken care of so well since he was a child, he doesn't have to worry about anything, as long as he thinks it's good, he doesn't mind what his parents arrange.If he is older, his younger brother can be in charge of the house, take charge of affairs, and take care of others, so naturally he doesn't have to bother with that brain.

That is to say, because she was spoiled too much, she was spoiled by her family as the second generation of good-for-nothings.

Can this waste wood be reformed?Of course, otherwise, why would Tang Shen throw Tang Yin out for nearly half a year?But this one is lucky, he got along with a bunch of pedantic scholars and became more and more unmotivated.Now when Tang Shen thought of the shy, adoring, and adoring eyes he looked at Zhu Yunming, he became very angry.You are not a woman, what are you doing with other people's buttocks every day, can they still marry you and spoil you?Pull it down!

Mourn its misfortune, hate its indisputable.Tang Shen didn't feel the first half of the sentence, but the last four words were really his truest portrayal of Tang Yin's heart.

So Tang Shen also gave up, he just controlled Tang Yin like this, simple, direct and effective!Anyway, Tang Yin was quite resigned, Tang Shen really didn't want to spend more time on him, and he wasn't born to take care of the Tang family's children.

Therefore, he could completely imagine that if Tang Yin was not at home now, he must have gone to Zhu's house and asked Zhu Yunming for advice.Does Tang Yin want to leave?Of course I don't want to leave. There are so many literati here, such a beautiful and prosperous scenery, and Zhu Yunming who treats him very well, why did he leave?Of course, it's not that he refuses to leave, he just wants to take it easy, and take it easy.

Who has the patience to accompany him slowly, so Tang Shen got up and had dinner and said directly to Yonglu: "Go, let the following people pack up their things diligently, and we will leave in two days."

Yong Lu glanced at Tang Shen, responded crisply, and rushed to make arrangements immediately.

And Tang Yin really went to look for Zhu Yunming.But to his surprise, Zhu Yunming was not at home.According to the concierge, Zhu Yunming didn't come back after going out yesterday morning, and only sent his personal servant back last night to say that he would not come back for the night.Because the concierge is not in charge, it is not clear where Zhu Yunming was last night.

Tang Yin had no choice but to leave disappointed, but he didn't want to go home too early, so he took Gao Fu and the two around Suzhou City.

The township examination has been over for nearly a month. Although the city of Suzhou is still lively, the mainstream of the excitement is no longer the scholars.After all, it's been so long, those who should go home have already gone back.Tang Yin sat alone in a teahouse, looking around.This used to be a place where he recited poems and painted paintings with other scholars. Now, there are only a few guests sitting here and there, chatting about some family affairs. Those who used to accompany him have left Suzhou.

For a while, Tang Yin also thought about going home.Just thinking of Tang Shen, I couldn't help but feel angry and want to stay for a few more days.

He doesn't like imperial examinations, and boring books don't attract him at all.However, after more than ten years of dull study, he would certainly be reluctant to meet such a lively life, especially since he is still sought after by so many people.The feeling of being flattered and praised is very easy to be addicted to.Coupled with the fact that after meeting Zhu Yunming, their love affair began, and they became even more reluctant to leave.But he still knew that this was wrong, and he also knew that his parents would not approve, and he understood more clearly that Tang Shen was actually doing it for his own good, but Tang Yin couldn't help but want to indulge himself and enjoy it.

However, no one would support his defiance.Thinking of this, Tang Yin felt full of grievances, why didn't anyone think more about him, lying on the table to get angry.

Tang Yin was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse by the window, and the window was facing the busy street.Tang Yin was bored lying on his stomach, and after a while he propped his chin and looked at the scene below.

It was not yet noon, and there were many people on the street. There were vendors with small stalls and common people who came out to buy. The sounds of hawking and bargaining were very lively.And directly across from Tang Yin's line of sight was an old lady who set up a stall. She was wearing a blue cloth dress that was washed to whitish but neat, and there was a basket in front of her, which contained all kinds of colorful nets. There is still one in hand, with a calm and serene expression.When a customer asks, he raises his head and smiles to say the price. If not, he continues to lower his head to weave his own network, and chat with the people in the next stall from time to time.Her business was very good, and it didn't take long for Tang Yin to stare at her before she had already sold six nets.

Tang Yin just looked at her like this, and gradually felt much calmer in his heart.Thinking about it again, does he really want to take part in the test?Actually no, he didn't want to.He likes to enjoy life comfortably and leisurely, feel the beauty and joy in life, and live peacefully and happily until old age.Deliberately seeking fame and fortune is not what he wants at all.

After he figured it out, he decided to go home and study painting hard.After I finished my studies, I traveled around and painted all the beautiful scenery I saw.As for Zhu Yunming, he is so good at painting and calligraphy, he must understand his decision.Maybe, he would be willing to travel all over the country with him after he finished his studies.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Tang Yin raised the corners of his mouth. He felt that this dream could definitely come true!

Then, he suddenly found that the old lady who sold nettles had another customer in front of the small stall.The two guests who turned their backs to him were men, they both looked very young, they seemed to have come out to hang out together, they stopped and stood in front of the small stall together.One of the green-robed men bent down and picked up a silver webbing, picked it up and flipped through it for a while, then turned around and said something to the other.The other one nodded, then took it and tied it affectionately around the waist of the man in green robe.Then she reached out and patted his lower back, leaned close to his ear and said something, which made him chuckle constantly.

Tang Yin felt that he didn't know whether it was anger or grievance, and he immediately stared at the two of them with a straight body, his fingers trembling slightly.He really wanted to stand up and yell, he really wanted to yell at Zhu Yunming to let go of that man, he really wanted to ask who that man was and what relationship they had.But he held back, so he could only continue to stare, staring at Zhu Yunming and his hands around the waist of the man in green robe.

The man in the green robe seemed to have chosen it, paid the money, turned around, and the two continued to walk side by side, and Zhu Yunming's hand was always on his waist.

However, when they turned around, Tang Yin recognized who the man in the green robe was, Xu Zhenqing, No. 2 in the provincial examination.

Xu Zhenqing and Tang Yin also come from Wu County, but he went to Suzhou when he was very young, and Tang Yin didn't meet him when he was in Wu County.It was after Tang Yin came to Suzhou that he met Xu Zhenqing for the first time at a poetry meeting.This is the second time for Xu Zhenqing to take the provincial examination. It is said that the last time he was taken out because of illness, he failed the examination. Otherwise, he must have already passed the examination due to his talent.Because everyone praised him so much, Tang Yin paid more attention to getting to know him.

Xu Zhenqing's biggest feature is her good looks.The top three in this year's provincial examination are all very outstanding in appearance, each with their own style, Tang Yin is handsome and handsome, Zhu Yunming is flirtatious and flirtatious, and he is a boy and a girl.

Although Xu Zhenqing is already in her 20s, she is even married.But just looking at his appearance, he is as beautiful and sweet as a [-]-year-old girl. Coupled with his short stature and slender figure, people often think that he is a lady who comes out to play in men's clothes.It can even be said that apart from his voice, there is nothing about him that looks like a man.Tang Yin had talked with him twice, but he always felt as if he was dating a woman, and felt weird in his heart, so he didn't continue to have a deep friendship.But at least, it is still recognizable at a glance.

Why are these two people together?

Tang Yin's eyes followed the two of them closely, seeing them walking close together on the busy street, whispering something in each other's ears from time to time, and then laughing together, their relationship is very good.While walking, he suddenly turned into an alley and disappeared from Tang Yin's sight.Tang Yin's heart tightened, and he immediately jumped up and rushed downstairs.Gao Fu was taken aback by his sudden action, paid the bill quickly and followed closely.

Arriving at the entrance of the alley where the two disappeared, Tang Yin looked around and felt a little strange. This is just an ordinary folk alley, and there are ordinary people on both sides.At a glance, Tang Yin didn't see the two of them in the alley, he bit his lip and walked straight forward, searching left and right.

Gao Fu found out what was wrong with Tang Yin when he was on the second floor of the teahouse, so he sneaked a look along Tang Yin's line of sight.He followed Tang Yin for such a long time, Tang Yin took him everywhere, of course he knew Xu Zhenqing.Just now he was taken aback by how these two were together, so he knew that Tang Yin was following them.But now it seems that it should be lost.Gao Fu thought and thought, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Just like that, Gao Fu followed Tang Yin along the way, and was stunned when he saw him walk through the alley and cross into another bustling street.He sighed secretly and walked over to persuade him: "Master, it's getting late, let's go back."

Tang Yin looked back at him stiffly, then slowly lowered his head, and hummed lightly.

As soon as he went back, he saw everyone busy packing their things. When Shi Shi saw them, he immediately came over and said, "Master, you are back."

Tang Yin still lowered his head, hummed softly in a depressing manner as a response, and then went back to his room.Shi Shi looked at Gao Fu strangely and asked, "Brother Gao, what's wrong with you?"

Gao Fu didn't answer him, but asked, "Where's the second master?"

"The second master is out shopping. The second master said that he will leave in two days, so the uncle's things should be packed earlier."

"Well, I see." Gao Fu nodded, went to pour a cup of tea, and then sent it to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin didn't take off his shoes, lying on the bed motionless.Gao Fu didn't bother him, put down his tea and came behind him and said softly, "Master, Second Master said that we will leave for Wu County in two days, do you think we are also planning to pack our things?"

Tang Yin remained silent, and Gao Fu didn't leave, just waiting.After a while, I heard his muffled voice: "Clean it up."

"Yes, sir."
