Encounter with the Four Great Talents

Tang Shen was stunned when he heard this.

Actually, letting Tang Yin go home and persuading his parents to move to the capital was Tang Shen's decision after long consideration.One is because I want to stay in the capital for a long time to recuperate, and I really don't want to be too far away from my family.Because I was too far away from home in my previous life, I never want to experience the feeling of helplessness when something happens at home.Secondly, it was also because he felt that Tang Yin was much happier here.Tang Yin is not willing to be an ordinary person, even if he does not become an official, he still hopes to achieve something.But in the capital, he is undoubtedly proud to be recognized as his best calligraphy and painting.The last and most important thing is to think that my family has moved to the capital specially to take care of me, and the Hua family is always embarrassed to let me live here and not leave.At that time, it would be good to buy a four-in-one courtyard that is not too big or small enough to live in, or buy a Zhuangzi outside Beijing.

Of course, that was Tang Shen's thoughts before Tang Yin left Beijing.

It's just that now hearing what she had originally planned from Dongyue's mouth, Tang Shen didn't know why he felt depressed.Frowning, he put down the silver bill, took out the letter and put it aside, closed the box and handed it to Dongyue: "Find a place to put these silver coins."

Dongyue's box holding the heavy gold is also boring, where should it be placed?I had no choice but to go out to find Yonglu.Yonglu just asked her to stuff it directly into the second master's cabinet, but Dongyue stared wide-eyed and did not move.Yonglu curled his lips: "Even if there are thieves, who would dare to steal the things in Commander Tong Zhihua's house." It was Mr. Hua's clothes that were placed together.Dongyue glanced at Tang Shen who was reading the letter on the couch, but in the end she didn't ask, but poured a cup of hot tea and put it by his hand.

Tang Shen flipped through the family letters, there were two in total, and the letters from his parents were, as usual, full of exhortations and worries, and then he briefly mentioned that everything was fine for them, so there was nothing to worry about.The elder brother's letter needs to be more detailed, Tang Yin has a serious personality, and has carefully written down all the big and small things that happened at home these days, and even copied some of the account books.At the end of the letter, he also told him to take good care of his illness and listen to the doctor Hua's words. Everything is fine at home now.

After reading the letter, Tang Shen let out a long sigh of relief, fell back on the pillow, and closed his eyes.

Hua Dingwu clearly sensed the change in Tang Shen, the smile disappeared, and the expressionless Tang Shen was always in a daze, and from time to time, he would unconsciously frowned slightly.Although it wasn't obvious, Hua Dingwu was so keen and of course noticed it right away.

Tang Shen is a very thoughtful person, and he doesn't like sharing burdens with others, he just keeps himself bored.Hua Dingwu didn't talk much, and someone else would definitely ignore it.But Tang Shen was not someone else, even if it was because of his illness, Hua Dingwu didn't want this person to waste his mind and mind.So, when Tang Shen came out of the shower, Hua Dingwu leaned on the bedside and folded his arms to look at him, as if planning to have a long talk.

Tang Shen rolled his eyes and climbed over him into the bed. He deliberately soaked in the medicinal bath for a while today, and he is very sleepy now, so he didn't want to talk to him.

Hua Dingwu frowned and pulled him back into his arms, "What happened?"

Tang Shen pushed his hand away and turned his head away from him: "I'm sleepy, let's talk tomorrow if I have something to say."

Hua Dingwu held his wrist tightly, with such strength that it wouldn't hurt him, but Tang Shen couldn't break free no matter what.I knew what he wanted to ask in my heart, but I still didn't want to say it.

Hua Dingwu looked at his sideways face, there was a trace of boredom and helplessness on that sleepy face, which made Hua Dingwu very concerned.With a slight sigh, he carefully hugged him into his arms and stuffed him up, with his chin resting on the top of his head: "What's wrong?"

Tang Shen dawdled on his soft inner coat, and finally said: "My father and mother said in the letter that when they move to the capital, buy a house and settle down in the capital, I will go back and live with them." .”

Hua Dingwu shut his mouth and didn't speak, only hugged him tighter.Tang Shen's bones hurt a little from being hugged, but he felt that the boredom in his heart was much lighter, and he put his arms around his waist: "I'm very happy that they came, but..." I was a little bit reluctant.

Hua Dingwu chuckled and patted him on the back: "Since you don't want to go, I will find a way to get them to agree."

Tang Shen looked at him strangely, and Hua Dingwu kissed him amusedly: "There's no need for you to be so sad about these trivial matters. It doesn't matter if they come to the capital, you can go to see it at home if you have nothing to do. Come on, it's not difficult for us to go to Jiangnan. Speaking of which, I haven't been to Jiangnan yet, why don't we go to Jiangnan for a while when things settle down?"

Tang Shen was naturally a little moved, but thinking about his body, he was still a little hesitant, Hua Ding Wuli straightened his clothes: "Brother also wanted to go more than once, and asked the saint for a leave, just go together."

Tang Shen smiled openly, stretched out his hand to pinch his face: "What's this called? The ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws?"

Hua Dingwu held his hand, put it on his lips and bit it lightly: "This is called sending his wife home."

Tang Shen gave him a hard look, Hua Dingwu kept laughing, bowed his head and kissed him tenderly.

So, the next day Tang Shen wrote a letter and asked Xu An, who came to visit him, to take it back to his hometown and give it to his family.

Xu Xian refused to approach the gate of Hua's house even if he died, Xu An had nothing to do with him, and before leaving the door, Mrs. Xu repeatedly urged her to return home immediately when she received someone.So Xu An didn't dare to delay, brought some presents to thank him, and then prepared to return home. Tang Shen didn't force him to stay, and sent him away after keeping him for dinner.

A few days after Xu An left, the test was about to begin.

The number of participants in the additional examination held this time was extremely high. In addition to those who stayed two months ago, many candidates from all over the country came here.It may be that there was too much movement in the last round of this session. These candidates are particularly respectful and admirable for this session, and many well-known candidates from all over the world have participated.

Tang Shen didn't know many people. He only knew that three of the four great talents were going to take part in this year's examination, so it was rare for Tang Shen to pay attention to this year's examination.I often discuss with Hua Taishi which famous candidates participated in this test, who is most likely to win the top three, and then comment on the short and short backgrounds of each parent.Wen Zhengming, who was originally devoted to reading, couldn't help but came to listen to opinions and learn from scriptures.

Tang Shen looked at Wen Zhengming and said with a smirk, "Brother Zhengming, it won't work to hold Buddha's feet temporarily."

Wen Zhengming shook his head and said, "The so-called sharpening the gun in front of the battle means nothing if you are unhappy."

Taishi Hua laughed loudly, and said to Wen Zhengming: "Zhengming is right. Although the examination room is nine days old, winning or losing depends on one's own true ability and who has more ink in the belly. But those half-hundred candidates I’m afraid I’ve read several times as many books as you, so when did you pass the exam again? Therefore, it’s useless to study hard, and the most important thing is to be able to apply what you’ve learned.”

Tang Shen blinked his eyes in surprise, he didn't expect Hua Taishi to look like an antique, but he understood it in his heart.

Hua Taishi also said: "Today, I am an ambitious Mingjun. He likes brave and resourceful ministers and generals the most. He is a good emperor if he is thirsty for talents. But he also likes elegance, especially Song Ci, and he is very fond of it. Those who are good at this." Speaking of this, Grand Master Hua chuckled, blinking his eyes with a playful look: "Zhengming, don't go astray."

Wen Zhengming was overjoyed, got up and respectfully thanked Grand Master Hua, Grand Master Hua sat down and accepted it, then shook his head and smiled and said: "I just give you some advice because you are a good boy." Looking at Tang Shen anxiously: "You are better than this pair of angry brothers!"

Tang Shen lowered his head calmly, took a sip of tea, and looked up, two birds flew over his head.

Wen Zhengming lowered his head and smiled sullenly, thinking of it, he said, "I especially remember talking to the Grand Master about the reason for the students to take part in the examination. My younger brother has improved a lot, and it can be regarded as more than enough than the top."

Tang Shen raised his eyebrows, leaned back in the chair like a boneless man, and said in a strange way: "One of you has never beaten me in chess, and the other knows nothing except eating, drinking, lassa, and reading books. Why do you compare with me?"

The two stared at him together, Tang Shen stared back without fear, why, it's bigger than eyes now?Who is afraid of whom?

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, countless lifters carried their belongings and stood outside the Gongyuan. One by one, they were put into the examination room after undergoing stricter inspections.Even though there were a lot of people checking, it took a full day for so many students to check.

It is still a boxy room, still a small space where you can't even stretch your legs straight. Some students are already familiar with two old wooden boards. Find a clean place to put your things and wait honestly.Some supervising students participated in it for the first time, and they were uneasy and didn't know what to do.But no matter whether they adapt or not, unless they cheat and are thrown out, or are carried out half-dead from illness, they will spend nine days in this small and narrow space for the next nine days.

When the candidates were seriously taking the exam, above the court, the Ministry of Punishment took the lead, saying that there was a new clue to a shocking old case.The Holy Order ordered a strict investigation, and sent Jin Yiwei to assist in the investigation.For a moment, everyone was in danger and anxious, and the Hua family even closed the door tightly, citing the owner's physical discomfort as an excuse not to see outsiders.

When these people came out of the number room, the world outside had changed color.Several high-ranking officials and even more small officials were implicated, and several big families in the middle of the capital could not escape the blame, and the whole capital felt chaotic again.

Because of this, Wu Dao Wu Jian stood guard outside the numbered room, and when Wen Zhengming and Zhu Yunming appeared, they immediately put them into the carriage.The two of them didn't know why, although they recognized that this was a servant of the Hua family, they didn't know what happened.

Zhu Yunming's face changed, and he asked nervously while holding the saber arm: "But what happened to brother Shen?"

Wu Dao shook his head: "Second Young Master is well, I hope you don't have to worry."

Wen Zhengming also didn't understand: "Then this is..."

Wu Jian seemed to see something, and squeezed towards the crowd again, while guarding them, Wu Dao said, "Central Beijing is not peaceful recently, the master means to take you to our house for a temporary stay."

Zhu Yunming could more or less guess what was going on, so he shrank back into the carriage honestly, just curious who else would they pick up?

After a while, another person was sent to the carriage, and the two opened their eyes wide at the same time: "Brother Xu?"

Xu Zhenqing's complexion was not good, she looked very haggard.He was not surprised to see the two of them, and smiled weakly, then sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to fall asleep.Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhengming looked at each other, looked at Xu Zhenqing who was sitting on the side, and didn't say anything to disturb after all.

The three of them got into the carriage, and Wudao Wujian drove the carriage into motion and drove towards the back door of Washington.When passing by the gate of Washington, you can see that there are many noisy people outside the gate, and many cars and sedans are parked.It's just that the gate of Washington was closed tightly, and the gate was slapped loudly, but no one came to answer, and even some rascals cursed loudly and uncleanly.

With such noise, even the sleeping Xu Zhenqing opened his eyes.Wen Zhengming opened the curtain slightly to look, shook his head and sighed: "I don't know what happened in the capital these days." Then he frowned and said worriedly: "I don't know how Mr. Hua is, these people are all targeting him Come on."

Zhu Yunming glanced at Xu Zhenqing, didn't speak, but said to him: "Zhengming should put down the curtain, it's not good to be noticed."

Wen Zhengming nodded and lowered the curtain. The three of them sat quietly, listening to the noise outside as the carriage moved softer and softer, until finally they could not hear it.At this time, the carriage jolted, and they seemed to have entered the door, and then the curtain was opened, and Wudao Wujian stood outside: "Here we are, three gentlemen, please get out of the carriage."

Wen Zhengming's servant, Baichuan, and Zhu Yunming's Tuanzi Yuanzi stood beside the carriage, and immediately came up to meet them.

The three of them were welcomed into the guest room, took a bath and then used some things to rest for a while until they felt refreshed.Wu Dao Wu Jian came over and said that Tang Shen had invited three young masters.

The three of them followed the two to the unnamed courtyard of Huadingwu, and saw Tang Shen sitting on a chair, holding tea and talking happily with an old man.

Seeing the old man startled, Zhu Yunming couldn't help shouting: "Grandpa?!"
