Encounter with the Four Great Talents

Wu Guanshi was very surprised, he had met Tang Yin before, the feeling of these two brothers was totally different.But if you look closely, they do look a bit similar.It's just that Tang Yin is more handsome, while this younger brother is more elegant.

It is said that the second son of Tang won the exam at the age of 13, and he is only 17 this year. He did not attend the exam because of his poor health.Wu Guanshi was a little unbelievable at the time. After all, which scholar would not want to win a gold medal and get an imperial examination to become an official?There are people in their [-]s and [-]s who continue to take the imperial examinations. How can some people with minor illnesses and pains give up so easily?Now that I see the real person, I don't doubt it at all. Such a pale and thin child will fall apart when the wind blows, and his bones are definitely not good enough.

Wu Guanshi himself didn't know why, his voice lowered a lot unknowingly, with a hint of kindness: "So it's the second son of Tang, please greet the second son! It's a coincidence that the second son is here today. Please allow me to report, Second Young Master, please come in and sit down for a while."

"It's time for Wu Guan to work. These days, my eldest brother is thanks to Wu Guan's help. Tang Shen will always remember Wu Wu's kindness." He saluted again.

Wu Guanshi only felt that his face was a little red, how could he really be of any help.Lian Cheng didn't dare to ask him to get up, but his tone became more and more friendly. "However, a little bit of news can't be called kindness, Second Young Master, don't take it to heart. It's windy outside, Second Young Master please."

After applying for Tang Shen to the flower hall, Wu Guanshi graciously served tea and snacks, and specially brought a brazier to take care of Tang Shen, and then he left and ran to Taishi Hua's study.

Taishi Hua was preparing to write, and when he was concentrating, he heard the sound of hurried steps, and when he was distracted, he missed the last stroke of the pen.Unhappily raised his head and looked at Wu Guanshi who ran in: "Master, my study can also run around?"

Just as Wu Guanshi was about to speak, he was so frightened that he almost bit his tongue when he was scolded, and quickly apologized.Taishi Hua is not such a fussy person, so he waved his hand and took another piece of paper to write again.Wu Guanshi hurriedly said: "Master! Tang Yin's younger brother Tang Shen is here!"

Master Hua hummed, picked up the pen and dipped in the ink.Wu Guanshi continued: "This young master has prepared a generous gift, are you going to see him?"

Taishi Hua frowned and put down his pen again, putting his hands into his sleeves to meditate.Steward Wu is his chief steward, and he has seen a lot of things in the world. To be honest, there are not many times that he can ask him to receive him.Recalling Tang Yin's matter from the beginning to the end, he asked: "Didn't you say that Tang Yin's matter is not a big deal?"

"Yes, but Mr. Tang seems to be too sick to get out of bed because of the fright before he was arrested. Now he is locked in prison again, with no medical treatment or medicine. Three days later, he still doesn't know what happened. The Tang family is worried. It should be." Wu Guanshi knew about Tang Yin's affairs fairly well, after all Fang Xingzhou had come to him many times.I used to think about a healthy big man, but if I was frightened, how could I become sick again?But looking at Tang Shen today, he felt that if Tang Yin was as weak as his younger brother, his life would be gone in three days.So I said a few good words for the Tang family, so that Grand Master Hua could feel some compassion.

When Taishi Hua heard that Tang Yin was arrested when he was seriously ill, he felt a little sympathetic.Sighing, he turned and walked out, ready to meet Tang Shen.

Tang Shen leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.Although he can ride a horse, he has never driven hard for a long time. The trip these days has exhausted all his energy.But he can't rest now, he knows that once his body relaxes, he will definitely be seriously ill.He can't be sick now, he can only persevere with his will.

In his head, he went through all the things he wanted to say to Grand Master Hua later, feeling his head was a little heavy, Tang Shen pinched his fingers to wake himself up, just in time to hear the sound of steady footsteps.

Grand Master Hua also gave a meal when he saw Tang Shen. This delicate and fragile child like a glazed doll was born in an ordinary family. Could it be the wrong birth?With such an appearance and demeanor, some people would believe that he was a young master from a family in the capital.He didn't despise him at the moment, and was very amiable and courteous.

Tang Shen was not in a hurry to tell Grand Master Hua about Tang Yin's arrest, but just thanked him for his care and appreciation for Tang Yin all the time. Tang Yin was a frivolous scholar, and it was a great blessing to be taken care of by Grand Master Hua.Grand Master Hua naturally also praised Tang Yin very much, saying that he is smart and talented, and he will definitely do a lot in the future.Tang Shen smiled and said that his eldest brother was still far behind, but with Hua Taishi's words, he must work harder in the future to live up to Hua Taishi's praise.

After talking and laughing for a while, Master Hua's favor towards Tang Shen gradually increased.Although this child is young, he is smart, stable and knowledgeable.Although his academic views are not as good as Tang Yin's, and his talent for calligraphy and painting is average, he has a wide range of knowledge and can answer any topic calmly.No arrogance, no embarrassment, natural and generous talk, gentle and respectful, people can't help admiring.I really don't know how the Tang family raised such two outstanding children, it's really enviable.

The two talked like this for an hour, and Grand Master Hua had already started to call Tang Shen a good nephew, and enthusiastically kept him for dinner!Get ready to have a few drinks and chat with Tang Shen!

Tang Shen stood up and thanked him, but just as he stood up, his eyes darkened and he fell forward uncontrollably.

Taishi Hua was so frightened that he quickly jumped up to help him. Fang Xingzhou and Yonglu behind Tang Shen also rushed up to help him sit back and sit down. After drinking a cup of hot tea, Tang Shen opened his eyes tremblingly.

Grand Master Hua blamed himself distressedly: "Oh, it's all my fault. My nephew's face is so ugly that I didn't notice it, and even dragged you to talk for so long. Sit down, come, and call the doctor!"

Tang Shen hurriedly stopped with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't be nervous, Xiaosheng is just a little tired."

"Nonsense, why are you like this when you're tired!"

"Xiaosheng doesn't dare, it's just that he's really tired." Tang Shen shook his head and waved his hands, hastily denying it.Seeing that he was still staring at me, he smiled wryly and said, "When I heard that elder brother had an accident at home, I couldn't sit still for a moment, and rode over from home on horseback. Such a long journey only took more than ten days. You're going to be tired. So it's really not sick, don't worry, sir."

Taishi Hua breathed a sigh of relief and frowned and said, "So that's the case. I don't know much about your elder brother. I heard that he was seriously ill when he was taken away? Sigh, it's really worrying."

"Yes." Tang Shen looked disappointed and worried, "Brother has always been in good health. I didn't believe it at first when people said that he was seriously ill, but after careful questioning, I found out that he was really sick. My elder brother's character Correct, even if he is taken for interrogation, it is just a formality, I believe the yamen will find out that he is innocent. But if this time is too long, and the illness is delayed... what will we family members do?"

Grand Master Hua patted his hand: "It's really hard for you. Who would have thought that this incident would happen to you innocently. You don't have to worry. When Ding Wu comes back tonight, I will have a good talk with him. Don't worry. Let him go back within two days."

Tang Shen was overjoyed and quickly saluted to thank him.Grand Master Hua immediately supported him: "Okay, okay, you haven't recovered yet, so don't go up and down like this."

Tang Shen responded with a smile, and asked someone to bring the gift up.Grand Master Hua's eyes lit up when he saw Tang Yin's painting of a beautiful woman under a plum blossom, and hesitantly said: "This is your elder brother's cherished painting, you can give it to me, in case he doesn't want to..."

Tang Shen shook his head: "Master Hua can help my eldest brother because he saved his life. We are so grateful that we don't know how to repay you. This painting is indeed cherished by my elder brother, but how can it be compared with your life-saving grace?" Compared. You can only be happy that you like us, and there is nothing to be reluctant to part with."

Taishi Hua was very happy, and Tang Shen sent Wen Zhengming's share again. Taishi Hua also liked it very much, and understood what Tang Shen meant, so he asked him to go back and wait for the news. He will definitely send Tang Yin to him within two days. Come out with Wen Zhengming.

Tang Shen bid farewell with gratitude and went back, Grand Master Hua didn't want to keep him anymore, only let him go back to rest well, and come to visit together when Tang Yin came out to recuperate from his illness.Tang Shen was naturally willing, thanked him and left with others.

Taishi Hua took Tang Shen's gift to the study, ready to enjoy it.This child is really a wonderful person, and all the things he gave are not common things.Not to mention the calligraphy and paintings of Tang Yin and Wenbi, a set of extremely rare rare copies of the previous dynasty is also very valuable, plus a set of the top-quality Four Treasures of the Study, and a volume of Buddhist teachings copied by the abbot of Jingchen Temple in Wuxian County, all of which are worth collecting. baby!After arranging them one by one, I found a stack of 100 taels of silver bills in a flat box, and the number was more than a thousand taels.

Master Hua stroked his beard and smiled.Sometimes, no matter how good the gift is, it is better to give money, but he will not admit it.He was in a good mood and said to Guanshi Wu: "Ding Wu is back, let him come over." How can he not give face to this child who is so hardworking.

Just as she was about to receive the banknote and hide it as a private house, she discovered that there was a letter under the banknote, and on the bulging envelope was written the words "Acknowledged by Tang Shen".Turn it over and see that the seal has been opened.Grand Master Hua frowned, pulled out the letter, and knew the child's intentions after reading halfway through it, and couldn't help admiring it even more.

Hua Dingwu didn't come home until evening, he was already very tired after a busy day, when he heard his father's summons, he just frowned and went on.As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father standing in front of a painting and carefully appreciating it. He couldn't help but take a look and raised his eyebrows: "Tang Yin's picture of a beautiful woman under a plum blossom? The real thing?"

"Of course it's genuine, it's from his younger brother." Taishi Hua pointed to the painting on the other wall: "That's Wenbi's calligraphy and painting. How about it? It's also very good, right?"

Hua Dingwu took a look and nodded.Grand Master Hua proudly commented on the two paintings of Xinde, saying that there were shortcomings here and there, but his face was full of liking.

Hua Dingwu let him talk, and when it was almost the same, he asked, "So, what is his brother asking for?"

Knowing his son's character, Grand Master Hua didn't hesitate, sat down and said: "Tang Yin is seriously ill, I'm worried that he won't be able to survive in prison, so I want to release him as soon as possible. I agreed and let them out in two days."

"Then it will take another two days." Hua Dingwu did not refuse, Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming had nothing to do with this matter, he already knew about it.It's just that even if they put on a show, they have to stay inside for a few more days. How can Jinyiwei prison be so easy to enter and exit?It's not a vegetable market.

Grand Master Hua took a look at him, took out the letter and put it in front of him: "This is the letter Tang Yin and Wen Bi wrote to Tang Shen after the examination. Please read it."

Hua Dingwu took it and opened it to have a look.After reading it, the corners of his mouth turned up: "He has spent a lot of thought in order to save his elder brother from suffering." He said lightly, but the letter was carefully folded and put back into the envelope, and put away.

Grand Master Hua liked it, nodded and said: "This child is rare and smart, and is likable. He gave you this letter, which is equivalent to giving you the confession of Tang Yin and Wen Bi, so I beg you not to torment him anymore. Heavy brother. Hehe, what a good boy."

Hua Dingwu didn't care: "It's just a few boards, and I can't die."

Hua Taishi glared at him, and repeatedly told his son to remember that he must release him within two days, Hua Dingwu responded impatiently, then turned and left.Among Hua Taishi's four sons, this kid was the only one who had nothing to do with him. He didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only secretly remind himself to pay more attention to this matter. If there is no news within two days, he must mention it to his son again.
