Du Ruquan was secretly surprised when he saw it, "Why did you invite outsiders? What kind of medicine is Madam selling in the gourd? These two old gentlemen are not ordinary people."
But Butler Kong knew these two gentlemen. One of them was Mr. Tang, who was fifty-two years old and was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Because he was too old when he was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and his literary and Taoist cultivation had been hovering around "Successful". He was able to build a foundation and enter Confucianism, so he failed to become an official.
Building a foundation and entering Confucianism has always been the standard for becoming an official, but the name of Ming Jing has made Mr. Tang proud.
The other one is Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu was a teacher at Wencheng Academy, but later he got older and stayed at home.
Both of these gentlemen once served as Tantai Wenwang's teachers, but later they were angered by Tantai Wenwang.
Because of this relationship, Tantai Heqing is also familiar with these two old gentlemen. This time he invited them to come and let them act as impartial persons.
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Liu."
Butler Kong greeted the two of them respectfully, thinking, although you two old gentlemen are famous, they are still not as good as my Mr. Xie.
Huang Shaonan looked at Tantai Heqing, whose appearance was astonishing. No wonder, not to mention being her pretty girl, even being a dog under her skirt, looking up to her every day, he was satisfied.
Huang Shaonan suddenly walked towards the two old gentlemen quickly, saluted Mr. Liu and said, "Student Shaonan has met the teacher."
When Mr. Liu saw Huang Shaonan, he was slightly surprised, "Shaonan, why are you here? Did you learn by competing with others today?"
Huang Shaonan responded: "That's not the case. The one who competes with others is Mr. Du next to me. I'm here to be a notary for Mr. Du."
Tantai Heqing glanced at Du Ruquan lightly. He even invited the notary himself. Do you think I will defeat you? But it would be better to have one more notary to make you convinced of your defeat.
Du Ruquan didn't notice Tantai Heqing's gaze, and was entirely focused on these two old gentlemen.
One of them is Huang Shaonan's teacher. He seems to be a very prestigious figure. Showing off his talents in front of such a figure is not just a trick in the class. He suddenly feels like he wants to escape, but now he is riding a tiger and is unable to get off.
Mr. Liu laughed loudly when he heard this: "What a coincidence, Miss Tantai also invited Mr. Tang and me to be notaries."
Huang Shaonan smiled and said: "There are two old gentlemen present. The students are not very talented and have little knowledge. How can they still be qualified?"
"It's okay, Shaonan, you can help me review it soon."
"It all depends on the teacher's arrangements."
Tantai Heqing interjected: "Let's sit down and talk."
Although Tantai Heqing was Yunying's unmarried young lady, because she was a businessman and often appeared in public, she behaved gracefully, elegantly and generously on such occasions.
As expected, Butler Kong invited the two old gentlemen to sit down at the guest seats on the left. Compared to the two juniors Du Huang, these two old gentlemen had a more distinguished status, and there was no objection to this.
After being polite, Mr. Tang asked: "I wonder which two young masters are learning to compete today?"
Du Ruquan stood up consciously, "Junior Du Ruquan has met these two gentlemen. The competition today is between junior and Mr. Xie."
Tantai Heqing took over with a smile, "Competition with Wenwang's old... accompanying student."
In front of me, Xie Fu was not considered a gentleman of Wenwang, and he was afraid of losing face to the two old gentlemen, so he simply lowered his status.
Mr. Liu sighed, fearing for himself, "I get a headache when I mention Wen Wang." He looked towards Mr. Tang as he spoke.
Mr. Tang also had a wry smile on his face. It seemed that both of them had suffered from Wang Wenwang.
Mr. Tang scanned the grand hall decorated for the grand ceremony and asked with a smile: "Is this just a study competition today? Is it a competition to choose an accompanying student?"
Tantai Heqing smiled perfunctorily, "So be it."
Du Ruquan listened, but he was not very happy in his heart. If he said it sounded good, he would accompany him to study, but if he said it didn't sound good, he would not be a book boy. It would be too humiliating for him to be a book boy.
Mr. Liu laughed loudly: "It's not easy to be Wenwang's escort."
Most of the people here know this well. Being Wenwang's accompaniment is not about how talented you are, but that Young Master Tantai is really difficult to take care of. You can't even train him as a teacher, let alone as a student. I was bullied by him every day.
Mr. Tang said: "It's almost time, where is the other young master?"
Tantai Heqing winked at Butler Kong.
Butler Kong understood and said, "I'll go take a look." After that, he hurriedly left.
Mr. Tang joked: "Miss Tantai, this little escort will definitely develop a temper similar to Wenwang's."
These words were obviously displeased. They had all arrived, but the escort who was going to take part in the talent competition hadn't come yet, and actually asked them to wait.
Tantai Heqing smiled and said: "No, I'm afraid there is something urgent that may delay us."
Mr. Liu smiled and said: "Miss Tantai, you are such a good master. If my servant dares to do this, I will punish him first."
Tantai Heqing smiled and brushed it off.
Mr. Tang praised: "Master Du is quite a talented person."
The topic shifted to Du Ruquan...
After a while, Butler Kong came in with a hot sweat on his head. Tantai Heqing thought Fu Xie had arrived and stood up immediately, but Butler Kong shook his head at her.
Tantai Heqing smiled and said: "It must be Wen Wang who took him somewhere. I'll go and see for myself." But he found a reason to leave.
"Miss Tantai, how can I bother you to go to such a thing in person? Just let the servants see it."
Tantai Heqing said with a smile: "We can't keep you two gentlemen waiting too long." After saying that, he walked out of the hall quickly.
As soon as Tantai Heqing came out of the hall, he asked coldly: "What's going on?"
Butler Kong said anxiously: "Master Xie hasn't come yet."
Tantai Heqing's face turned livid when he heard this. He wouldn't run away, so let me go.
But the man walked towards the gate and waited in person, cursing in his heart, this man... what is he afraid of, he is a coward.
As soon as Tantai Heqing arrived at the gate, he happened to see Xie Fu running from a distance. When he saw that the person had finally arrived, Tantai Heqing immediately showed joy.
Xie Fu was taken to the boat by Wu Jie last night. Today the boat docked at Panmen in the south of the city, and he ran back immediately.
It rained again on the way, and now I was soaked to the skin, my head was full of sweat, and I was very embarrassed.
Fu Xie was about to reach the gate of Tantai Mansion when he suddenly turned around again.
This caused Tantai Heqing to wave to him and shout, "Where are you going?"
When Fu Xie heard Tantai Heqing's voice, he turned around suddenly and said, "I'll take the side door."
An angry Tantai Heqing cursed: "I will personally greet you at the gate, aren't you worthy of walking through the main entrance?"
When Xie Fu came closer, Tantai Heqing saw his embarrassed appearance and smelled the sweat on his body. His brows were furrowed and his face was cold, and he said angrily: "Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose? "
Xie Fu gasped and responded: "No."
"No! You came like this, why did you wait until now?"
Xie Fu gasped and replied: "I just...just..."
