The young man looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tall figure, red lips and white teeth.
The father was born rich, but the son is well-proportioned and handsome.
Different from Li Qing's imagination, this young man named Tang Yin is not the dull look with a dull expression and no light in his eyes that makes him stupid because of reading.
On the contrary, it gives people a sense of déjà vu as "a stranger is like jade, and a young man is unparalleled in the world".
The bookishness is mixed with handsomeness, and the handsomeness is mixed with talent. It really feels like you are talented at first glance.
Zhu Jianshen was also rarely surprised. Apparently, he and Li Qing wanted to go together, but the fact was completely opposite.
"This is Quanzi." Tang Guangde introduced with a smile, "Quuzi is not talented. In the 21st year of Chenghua, he took the first place in the supplementary examination of Suzhou Prefecture School."
Li Qing nodded slowly. He finally understood why the owner of the wine shop always spoke of his son with pride. Indeed, this son was considered extraordinary.
"sit down."
Tang Yin was not good at socializing, but he was not afraid. He thanked him and sat down between the two of them.
At this time, another guest came in, and several of them came. Obviously, there were more people coming to drink at this time.
Tang Guangde smiled and said: "You guys chat, I'm going to greet the guests. Liuzi, I'll serve you two gentlemen a pot of good tea."
Zhu Jianshen looked Tang Yin up and down and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Xiaosheng is nineteen years old this year."
"Not yet..." Zhu Jianshen nodded slowly, "This year the imperial court is offering Enke, why not take part in the provincial examination?"
"Xiaosheng is not sure." Tang Yin said.
It can be seen that he is indeed socially awkward. Although he does not have stage fright, he is very bad at chatting.
Li Qingxiao asked: "I heard that you passed the examination of scholar a few years ago. A few years have passed and you have been studying all day, but you are still not sure?"
"Xiaosheng is not sure about Jieyuan." Tang Yin shook his head modestly.
Li Qing: "..."
Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Qing deflated. He laughed loudly and praised:
"You are courageous, but the exam for Jieyuan is not that easy!"
"Every provincial examination has had Jieyuan, why can't it be me?" Tang Yin asked.
His tone was calm and his words were normal. It was obvious that he was not being arrogant because of his talent, but that he really thought so.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen was also speechless.
Call him arrogant, but he looks calm, indifferent, and humble. Call him humble...he is not humble at all.
Li Qingdao: "There is no need to pursue Jieyuan. In the final analysis, it is just a ranking. Compared with it, time is more important. It is unwise to waste time for a better ranking."
"Brother, what you said is biased." Tang Yin didn't think so.
It was rare for Zhu Jianshen to see someone arguing with Li Qing, so he immediately got angry and looked like he was asking for an explanation: "What...how do you say this?"
Tang Yin showed his painting fan and fanned it gently, "The Analects of Confucius says: If you take it from above, you will get it from within; if you take it from it, you will get it from below; if you take it from below, you will get nothing.
The Art of War also goes like this: If you seek the top, you will get the middle; if you seek the middle, you will get the bottom; if you seek the bottom, you will be defeated!
Not only the imperial examination, but also life! "
"...That makes sense!" Li Qing gave a thumbs up.
Zhu Jianshen stroked his beard and asked happily, "Are you getting married?"
A blush quietly appeared on Tang Yin's fair face, "The marriage has been decided, and the auspicious day will be in a few days."
At this time, Tang Guangde came over and added with a smile: "If you two are not in a hurry, you can come and have a wedding drink!"
"It's good to drink wedding wine. I like drinking wedding wine the most." Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but think of the scene when Wang Shouren got married, and immediately agreed shamelessly, "Definitely, definitely."
Don’t you know what politeness is? Li Qing was so ashamed for him, he was so thick-skinned.
"That Tang Yin...huh?"
Li Qing was suddenly startled. He suddenly remembered something and his heart beat faster. He thought of a famous figure in the Ming Dynasty.
This romantic figure is not a simple man. His fame is so great that in later generations, it can be said that everyone, old and young, knows about him.
In terms of popularity alone, even Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, is slightly inferior. After all... even he was the prophet Tang Bohu, and he only knew Zhu Yuanzhang later.
This is his childhood idol!
The four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River are outstanding in poetry, calligraphy and painting!
I remember in the movie, his family owned a restaurant... Li Qing's heart was beating wildly, so that's right.
Most of his memories in later generations are vague, but that movie was so classic that it left an indelible impression on him as a child.
Especially the part between Tang Bohu and the pair...
Their birth backgrounds were matched, their family conditions were matched, and they were both called Tang Yin. All kinds of coincidences came together, and the person in front of him was most likely to be the romantic and talented man.
"Li Qing, Li Qing..." Zhu Jianshen raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "What's wrong with you? You won't be so happy with the wedding wine, right?"óΠъ.oяＧ
"Ah? Oh, no, it's nothing." Li Qing ignored his joking and said to Tang Yin, "Is your nickname Bohu?"
His face was filled with anticipation, and he was as excited as meeting an idol.
In particular, this was a meeting between idols spanning a long history. Li Qing was as excited as when he first met Lao Zhu at this moment.
The difference was that that time he was both excited and scared, but this time he was mostly happy.
"The junior student has not yet reached the crown, and has never taken the word." Tang Yin slowly shook his head and moved his eyes to one side.
Li Qing's eyes were so hot that he didn't dare to look directly at him.
Zhu Jianshen, however, quickly seized the opportunity and teased, "You're stupid, people just said nineteen years old, there's no such thing as older people are forgetful... Ahem, you're not that old yet, why do you forget things like this? ?”
Unexpectedly, Tang Guangde on the side smiled and said: "Don't say it, it's not wrong to call him Bohu."
"Bo, Zhong, Uncle, Ji; Xiaoyin is the eldest son in the family. Yin is the tiger in the zodiac, so he can be called Bohu, Tang Bohu, um, not bad, the call is catchy and sounds good." Tang Guangde said with a smile. , "This saves trouble. I will use this during the crowning ceremony."
After a pause, "Xiaoyin, what do you think?"
Tang Yin was obedient and nodded: "Since father thinks it's good, I'll use this when the time comes."
Tang Guangde smiled and nodded, then turned to Li Qing and said, "Oh my, my little brother is very knowledgeable. This is really a good word. Thank you, thank you very much."
His eyes became a line when he smiled, his dimples became deeper, and he became richer and more lovable. "Xiaoyin will get married in a few days, so you two must come and have a drink!"
"Brother, little brother..."
The little brother is already stupid.
Oh my god, it's really Tang Bohu. Tang Bohu, this is the famous Tang Bohu... Li Qing's heart was racing.
"Li Qing, Li Qing, what's wrong with you today?"
"No, it's nothing." Li Qing tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, licked his lips and asked Tang Yin, "Can you draw?"
"I know a little bit." Tang Yin nodded.
Li Qing hurriedly asked, "Can you paint a picture for me? You can tell me how much it will cost. I will never bargain."
"..." Zhu Jianshen said angrily, "Okay, I will draw you another day to see how you look like you have never seen the world."
He didn't know what was wrong with Li Qing today, but Li Qing's behavior today made him very embarrassed.
Who cares about your painting? With your level... Your grandfather's painting level is not bad. As for you, haha.
Li Qing ignored him and continued: "Want to?"
"It's a trivial matter." Tang Yin was happy and asked, "I wonder what brother you want to use as the topic?"
"It doesn't matter. Whatever you draw is what I want. I don't have to choose." Li Qing said.
Tang Guangde was even more elated when he saw that Li Qing thought so highly of his son, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Yin has good attainments in painting. Meeting her is fate. It's nothing but paper and ink."
"Huh? You still have to pay. You can't let your work go in vain, can you?" Li Qing said, "Then it's settled. We'll settle down at the inn opposite. Once we've finished the painting, just say, I'll pick it up."
Tang Guangde laughed and said: "That's such a coincidence. It's also opened by my house across the street. Wait a moment, you two. I'm going to explain to my wife and arrange the best guest room for you."
"Thank you." Li Qing nodded and looked at Tang Yin again, his eyes getting hotter.
Tang Yin was embarrassed.
"What's that? I have some things to do, Xiaosheng. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tang Yin got up and apologized, then turned and went upstairs.
Zhu Jianshen said angrily: "Stop looking, everyone has gone back."
'Tons, tons, tons...' Zhu Jianshen put down the wine bowl and hummed: "Li Qing, why are you acting like this today? It's really... you've made me feel bad."
Li Qing withdrew his gaze and glanced at him, "What do you know? I'm going to make you lose your status... In recent times, I've been too kind to you, right?"
You can’t tell the difference between the big and small kings, right? "
"I am the king!" Zhu Jianshen argued, "You are not even a little king."
"You say it again?" Li Qing's face darkened, "You can see if I prick you later or not."
"...You know how to use this trick." Zhu Jianshen was immediately frightened and said weakly, "Didn't you pass the acupuncture?"
Li Qingpi said with a smile, "Isn't this helping you consolidate?"
"I do not need."
"No, you need it." Li Qing picked up the wine bowl with a smile and drank it all in one gulp, "Pay the bill, buddy!"
Liuzi came over and said with a smile: "The master told me that the two masters will keep his account at this table."
"How can this work? Then we can't be freeloaders?" Zhu Jianshen said, "Calculate, as much as it should be."
"Hey, you two, please don't embarrass me."
"Okay, I won't embarrass you." Li Qing interrupted Zhu Jianshen who was trying to insist, and stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the opposite side, and we'll make up for it before we leave."
"Yeah... That's okay."

When the two arrived at the inn opposite, Tang Guangde had already made arrangements and led them to Room No. 1 Tianzi.
Jiangnan has been a prosperous place since ancient times, and its main focus is sophistication, especially Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The room is not big, but it is very elegant. The bedding is soft, there are ice cubes to cool down, and even fruits are provided. It is not only special care, but also the treatment of Tianzi No. 1 room. In short, it is really good.
Even Zhu Jianshen couldn't find any fault with it.
"This boss is a nice guy. He's very good at doing business. He deserves to be rich." Zhu Jianshen was half lying on the bed with a look of enjoyment on his face. Then he sat up suddenly and said, "Li Qing, by the way, you are a little unusual today. Is it because of that Tang Yin?" ?”
