Encounter with the Four Great Talents

The three of them were seen by the doctor once, and among the three, Wen Zhengming was the least ill.He just suffered some skin and flesh pains, he didn't hurt his tendons or bones, he just took medicine for two days and he was fine.Next was Tang Yin. Although he was a little sick and had lost his vitality for a few days, he was always in good health after all, so he would be fine if he obediently took medicine for a few days.As a result, Tang Shen was the most ill among the three. Tang Shen was already weak, and after going back and forth like this, his energy was almost exhausted.

Tang Shen brought a large sum of money, because Taishi Hua helped a lot, but the money was useless.Tang Yin immediately decided, no matter what the price, as long as he could buy good medicine to treat Tang Shen!But the money was not spent. Fang Xingzhou came back from Washington in the afternoon and reported that Grand Master Hua happened to be at home and met several people in person.Knowing that the two have been released from prison, I am very happy. When I know that all three of them are sick, they have prepared a lot of medicinal materials and supplements for the three of them to recover from their illness.The medicine given by Hua Taishi was not an ordinary product sold outside. Tang Shen felt very happy because he saved a lot of money. After all, the money in his hand didn't fall from the sky.

Fang Xingzhou said that Taishi Hua repeatedly told the three of them to take good care of their illnesses, and they must go to Washington as guests when they recovered from their illnesses. Naturally, Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming would not refuse.

Just as he was talking, a message came in from outside, saying that someone from the Zhang family had sent the message.

Tang Shen closed his mouth and leaned back on the pillow without saying a word, neither saying he wanted to see him nor missing him.Tang Yin looked at him, not sure what his younger brother's reaction meant, so he turned his head and exchanged glances with Wen Zhengming.Wen Zhengming nodded slightly to signal, so Tang Yin said to Fang Xingzhou: "We are all sick and it is not convenient to see guests. Brother Fang, let's go and have a look."

Fang Xingzhou responded and went out.

The person who came was a servant next to Zhang Jingyu, and he had met Fang Xingzhou several times.He didn't have any special reaction when he saw Fang Xingzhou, he didn't seem to know that Tang Yin and the two had come out of the prison, he only talked to Fang Xingzhou politely and then said what he wanted to do.He was sent by Zhang Jingyu to convey a message: Chen Juren was convicted today. Although he was not fatal, his meritorious service was dismissed and he was not allowed to take the imperial examination until he was pardoned.

Fang Xingzhou was taken aback, and kept asking what exactly happened.This young man knew the details, so he said it directly without hiding it from him.Although Chen Juren also attended the banquet at that time, he didn't pay much attention to those exam questions.It's just that before the test, someone took the exact same question as the test and spent money to ask him to help solve the problem.He wrote it and suffered for it.

Chen Juren was finally released home today. Because of this incident, he was depressed and locked himself in the room, but fortunately, his life was not in danger.Zhang Jingyu said that even Chen Juren was fine, so Tang Yin and Wen Bi should be safer, and he would look for opportunities to help them escape, so that they could wait for the news with peace of mind.

Fang Xingzhou murmured in his heart that his uncle and Abi were in the next room, but since the three of them said that, he didn't dare to say that they had been rescued.He only lamented a few times and said a few words of pity for Chen Juren.Thanks again to Zhang Jingyu for his hard work and the servant's hard work, and gave him a red envelope to send him away.

These words were passed on to the three of them, Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming couldn't stop sighing, and they were even more afraid when they thought that they almost had the same disaster.Tang Shen coughed twice and said with a smile, "Brother and brother Zhengming don't need to compare themselves with others, the so-called same person does not have the same fate."

The two were dumbfounded by what he said, but they also accepted the topic and changed it to something else.

After all, all three were sick and their energy was limited. Wen Zhengming only sat for a while and then went back to lie on his stomach. The two brothers sat side by side on the kang and talked.Tang Shen talked to him about the family affairs, the worries of his parents, the strength of his sister-in-law, and the cuteness of the two children, which made Tang Yin yearn for it, wishing he could go home now.

Tang Shen thought for a while and said, "The emperor may hold the trial again."

"What? Rerun? Really?"

"I'm just guessing, not necessarily true." Tang Shen waved his hands and said with a smile: "No matter what the emperor wants to do through this trial to cause so many troubles, the role of the trial is still irreplaceable. The emperor and the imperial court always need new officials, and it depends on whether the emperor is going to try it right away or wait until next year to open Enke."

Tang Yin said with a smile: "No matter what, I don't want to participate anymore."

Tang Shen yawned. Tang Yin saw it and stuffed him back into the quilt. Tang Shen obediently shrunk himself into a ball, blinked his eyes and tried to regain his energy: "If elder brother doesn't want to participate, what are you going to do?" Woolen cloth."

"I have something I want to do, but it's not right now. Well, you're not feeling well, go to sleep." Tang Yin patted Tang Shen's chest to coax him. Seeing that his brother was dissatisfied with his answer, he still fell asleep obediently. He smiled and helped him tuck the corner of the quilt, told Gao Fu and the others, and lay down too. Don't say anything else now, the most important thing is to get well.

After five full days, Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming fully recovered, but Tang Shen was still exhausted and slept on the kang every day.Although he was worried about his younger brother, after all, Huafu would have to leave. Tang Yin had to instruct his servants to take good care of him, and went to Hua's house with Wen Zhengming in a sedan chair.

Because the post was handed over in advance, Taishi Hua specially stayed at home to receive the two of them today.The two walked in steadily, and bowed to meet them. Master Hua hurriedly greeted them with a smile and helped the two to stand up: "Please get up quickly." Seeing that although the two have lost weight, they are still in good spirits, and they should have recovered , Hua Taishi nodded with satisfaction and said: "I heard that you were all sick a while ago, and I was still worried, but now you are all well?"

Of the two, Tang Yin was the elder, so naturally he answered the question.Tang Yin nodded and replied: "Master Lao Hua remembers that both of us have already recovered. We came this time to express our thanks for Master Hua's life-saving grace, and I also ask Master Hua to pay respects to both of us."

Hua Taishi smiled and helped the two of them up again, and after some politeness, he let them sit down and said: "The two nephews are safe and healthy today, and the two nephews usually sit upright. With a clear conscience, you are naturally not afraid of temporary ups and downs."

The two should be, Hua Taishi said: "It is said that the capital is prosperous and lively, but after all, it is an important place in the capital, so one must be careful in one's behavior. This incident is certainly a mistake made by some people who are obsessed with ghosts, but those who were The people involved may not be innocent sufferers, otherwise, how could the two of you be safe and sound and they were punished." Taishi Hua is also kind, and has a good impression of the Tang family brothers and Wen Zhengming, so wake them up, " Seeing the benefits, there are naturally people who are eager for quick success, but in this place in the capital, being steadfast and cautious is the long-term way."

The two were taught, and they both got up and thanked Mr. Hua.Grand Master Hua accepted it with a smile, and said with concern: "Since the two virtuous nephews have recovered, what are your plans? The old man heard that such a thing happened in this meeting. Although the Holy Majesty was furious, he did not treat the innocent The scholars are still concerned, and I think they will meet again soon. If the two virtuous nephews are interested, they can stay for a longer time and wait for news."

Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming looked at each other, Tang Yin said: "Don't dare to hide it from your lord, the students have decided not to take the exam."

Grand Master Hua was taken aback: "Why is this? Nephew Tang Xian is the Jieyuan of the Suzhou government. He has learned talents and has outstanding talents. This time, he just suffered innocently. If he participates in the test again, he will definitely win the toad palace! Why do you say such words? Come?"

Tang Yin said with a smile: "My lord, students actually don't have any intention of fame and fame, and they have a leisurely nature. They came to the capital for fun rather than taking part in the examination. When the fun is over, they naturally want to go home to serve their parents."

Hua Taishi disapproved all over his face: "What nonsense! You have studied hard for so many years, did you just give up so easily? You are talented, why don't you go to fight for fame and serve the court? It is you who said such useless words. What kind of misunderstanding did the court have because of this incident, so I don’t want to try it? Let me tell you, the emperor is wise, powerful, and talented, but this time he was deceived by some traitors! But it is because of these people that we need your integrity Talented people enter the imperial court to assist!"

Tang Yin quickly said: "Master Hua misunderstood, the students did not give up the exam because of misunderstanding!"

"That's why?" Taishi Hua was really angry, if Tang Yin dared to say something bad about the emperor, he would drive him out!Taishi Hua has been his husband since the emperor's enlightenment, and he knows the new emperor very well. He is definitely a good emperor who deserves the loyalty and whole-hearted assistance of his subjects!

Tang Yin sighed, looked up at him, his voice was soft but his eyes were firm, "My lord, students may be able to read books well, but if they work for an official, how can they copy these books? No matter how well a student reads, it can't cover up his own character. students can’t read people’s hearts, see traps clearly, and can’t adapt to officialdom. The students’ family members don’t expect students to be slaughtered by officials, but only hope that the family can be reunited safely. After this incident, students also understand what kind of life is What is most suitable for students may not live up to the value of adults, but students still yearn for that kind of life.”

Hua Taishi held his breath and stared at him for a long time, seeing him laughing lightly, finally let out a breath of relief, sighed, shook his head and pointed at him and cursed: "I have lived for so long, I have seen countless people , but this is the first time I've seen you who don't know how to make progress but dare to be so righteous!"

Tang Yin quickly apologized, Hua Taishi waved his hand: "That's all, I understand what you mean. In fact, if you say these ideas 20 years later, I will definitely not stop you. It's just that you can bring them up now. I think it's a pity. But you have always been obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and you are not good at dealing with the dangers of the officialdom. It is understandable for you to want to get away and do what you like. It's okay, it might not be a bright future in another village."

Seeing him laughing, Tang Yin knew that Grand Master Hua no longer cares about him, so he heaved a sigh of relief.In fact, he was able to give up his fame and career so easily and quickly, and Taishi Hua liked him for his free and easy way, so he couldn't be really angry.

Turning to Wen Zhengming again, Taishi Hua looked forward to his performance.

Wen Zhengming smiled and said, "Students will participate."

"Oh? Why?"

"As the only child in the family, the student will have to make money to support the family in the future. But the other students will not be able to, and they can't always rely on selling calligraphy and paintings to support a large family. If they can be officials, they will have a lot of salary, which can make their families live more comfortably. Seeing Taishi Hua's face getting darker and darker, Wen Zhengming shrank his neck, and his voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible at last.

Taishi Hua stared at the two people, he really didn't know what kind of opportunity brought him to meet such two strange creatures, one was really weirder than the other!

But after thinking about it, I feel that these two children are really pure. One is pure and refuses to be polluted by the officialdom and readily gives up his fame, and the other just wants to pass the examination and have a job just to support his family.Both of them are not people who value fame, wealth and status. To be honest, Taishi Hua is a little envious.

It's just that this is the case now, what will happen in a few decades?Can they stay like this forever?

Looking into the clear eyes of the two, Hua Taishi couldn't help but sincerely hope that they could maintain such beauty until the end of their lives.

No longer annoyed by their "not making progress", Taishi Hua thought of Tang Shen, and after asking, he found out that Tang Shen was still not recovering from his illness, and immediately asked someone to prepare a lot of supplements. The two of them did not refuse, and both stood Get up and thank Master Hua.

Grand Master Hua remembered that Tang Shen was also famous for raising others, and thought of the calm and elegant young man who talked in front of him, he opened his eyes and asked Tang Yin curiously: "Nephew, will your younger brother take part in the test? The old man sees that he is clever and transparent." , if you enter the officialdom, you will have a lot to do!"

The two shook their heads at the same time, and Tang Yin said frankly: "With Shen'er's laziness, it is absolutely impossible to be an official."

Taishi Hua stared at him dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to twist his neck stiffly towards Wen Zhengming.

Wen Zhengming suppressed his smile with a cough, and said expressionlessly: "Brother Shen has been weak since he was a child, and he can't lift his shoulders or hands. He has always been pampered, so his temper is a bit... er, casual. Being an official He will never do hard work."

Master Hua found out that the strange things he encountered were not two, but three.
