Dressed as Tang Bohu

Tang Family Courtyard

Early in the morning, just as Tang Ziwei came out of his room to wash up, Tang Shen saw him. "Brother, it's still early, do you want to go back to sleep for a while?"

"Don't sleep anymore." Tang Ziwei shook his head and walked to the well.

Tang Shen poured half a basin of water for him carelessly, and asked, "Is there enough paper and ink, brother?"

Tang Ziwei understood now, and looked at him with a half-smile, "Don't worry, I won't go with you to the restaurant today."

"That's not what I meant!" Tang Shen blushed, and said, "It's just, um... Now that the problem with Yang's wine is known to everyone, I can take care of the rest, and my brother doesn't have to waste time on these chores." I'm bothered."

"I know what you mean. It's just that the wine is not good to quit. After all, the Yang family is high-ranking and powerful. The reputation of the tavern has been ruined, so they must bear grudges. Be especially careful about Yang Ershao. It's hard to guarantee that he won't use his power to suppress Tang Ji." Tang Ziwei said.

Tang Shen nodded, "I see. I'll go to County Magistrate Li to find out the news in a while."

Seeing that he understood, Tang Ziwei didn't say any more.

At three o'clock in the morning, Tang Shen left for the restaurant. Tang Ziwei finished his breakfast in a leisurely manner. Not long after, he heard Li Quan from the nurse come in to announce that Zhu Zhishan and others came to look for him.

When Tang Ziwei walked to the door, he saw only one, two, or three people in front of him, including Wen Huiming, who was usually the most calm and elegant, all dressed in shabby clothes, covered in dust, pretending to be beggars.

Zhu Zhishan hooked a dirty wine gourd with an extra finger on his right hand. Seeing Tang Ziwei in a white dress, his face was full of dissatisfaction: "Tang Ziwei, we have an appointment to climb a mountain, why are you dressed so formally alone?"

Xu Zhenqing also nodded unhappily, and before Tang Ziwei could react, the two of them rushed forward.One of them loosened his clothes while the other stripped off his clothes. Tang Ziwei was forced to mess up his clothes before hooking him to go outside.

Tang Ziwei struggled a few times at first, but when he looked up, he saw Wen Huiming standing beside him with a smile on his face, and suddenly he didn't want to struggle anymore.Although these people are outrageous, isn't this exactly the life I want.

Compared with those days of intrigue, wouldn't it be happier to be so unrestrained and follow one's inclinations?

Tang Ziwei smiled suddenly, put his backhand on the shoulders of the two, and the four of them walked out of the alley together.

There was a steady stream of pedestrians on the street, and occasionally someone caught a glimpse of four beggars walking through the market and cast contemptuous glances at them. Tang Ziwei, Zhu and Xu raised their eyes and stared together!They were so frightened that they were afraid of causing trouble, and hurriedly looked away, and the three of them laughed.Wen Huiming followed, also raising the corners of his mouth.

Suzhou has a vast territory, but Wu County is not.After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, the few people came to the foot of an unnamed hill on the edge of the town.

Xu Zhenqing looked around at the same spot, and saw a small carriage with bead curtains and windows parked under a tree to the west, so she went over and knocked on the side of the carriage.The bead curtain was raised, and the person sitting inside was Xu Su, a famous prostitute with the clear water and vermilion curtain.

Zhang Ling jumped off the roof of the carriage, supported Xu Su's arm and led her out of the carriage.

Xu Su slender feet landed, seeing Tang Ziwei and the other three in disheveled clothes in front of him, he was slightly taken aback, then laughed, bowed to them, and said softly: "Su Niang has seen the four young masters, it has been a long time Hearing the names of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, seeing them today, they are really different from ordinary people."

Although Xu Su talked about the four of them, her beautiful eyes were full of affection, but she only looked at Tang Ziwei.

Tang Ziwei raised his eyebrows slightly, cupped his hands, but looked at Zhang Ling.

The latter rubbed his nose and said, "Tang Ziwei, you don't know, then Prince Ning gave a lot of money to ask Su Niang to accompany you alone. Su Niang has been alone in the boat for many days. I look at today It was a good time, so I picked it up."

Tang Ziwei looked at Xu Su's soft and weak appearance in a skirt, and pursed his lips, "She looks like this, how can she climb a mountain?"

"Why not?" Zhu Zhishan twirled the wine gourd in his hand, squeezed his mustache with one hand, squinted his eyes and said with a smile:

"It should be a little more fun to be with a beautiful woman. I think it's better for us to write a poem on the theme of mountain climbing, and let the little lady choose her favorite line. The chosen one will carry the little lady up, how about it?"

"Brother Xizhe is a genius! This is a good idea." Xu Zhenqing was the youngest, with a very high talent in poetry, but he was born ugly and had never been very popular with women.At this time, after listening to Zhu Zhishan's suggestion, a smile bloomed on his face.

Wen Huiming stood beside him like a bamboo, but he didn't have any idea about it, he just said: "To win with poetry, I'm not as good as you guys."

Tang Ziwei felt a headache when he heard that he wanted to compose a poem by himself, so he glanced at Xu Su and said, "You talk to yourself like this, and you don't ask the girl if she agrees or not?"

"Ziwei is afraid of losing, does Su Niang feel sorry for others?" Zhang Ling said, and Tang Ziwei rolled his eyes.

Xu Suqiao smiled sweetly, "Su Niang, but listen to the orders of the young masters."

"Then I'll come first!" Xu Zhenqing couldn't hold back her temper, so she opened her mouth and came.Zhang Ling made up a number in the middle, Zhu Zhishan and Wen Huiming thought for a moment, and also wrote poems one after another. They were all about the red sun and low clouds, and the heroic spirit of the ten thousand miles in sight.

Tang Zi felt admiration in his heart. Seeing that several people looked at him after finishing the poem, he didn't show any timidity at all. He blinked and said: "I am ashamed to call myself the author of the poem, and I only think about mountain climbing."

"...Co-authored you to think of a topic for a long time?" Xu Zhenqing couldn't help complaining.

Before Tang Ziwei responded, he heard Xu Su say, "Su Niang thinks Mr. Tang's poems are the most appropriate, which makes people happy."

Seeing Xu Zhenqing's distressed face, Zhu Zhishan couldn't help but chuckled, "Ziwei's trick of retreating into advance is really wonderful, but it's a pity that someone took it seriously."

"You mean me?" Xu Zhenqing turned her head abruptly.

When several people were making noise, another unexpected guest arrived.

There was only a sound of carriage wheels coming from far and near, and it stopped at the foot of the mountain.Zhu Chenhao jumped out from inside, waved his hand to let a guard drive back first, and came with another guard himself.

"You guys, what a coincidence, we met again." Zhu Chenhao smiled.

Everyone: "..."

Several people are well aware of the purpose of this son's arrival.But even though they knew that he wanted to make friends, everyone didn't intend to curry favor with him or drive him away, let's let it take its course and play with him...

Zhu Zhishan exchanged glances with everyone, and chatted with Zhu Chenhao while laughing.

After some entanglements, Tang Ziwei finally carried Xu Su up to the top of the mountain.Although the mountain is not high, and there are stops and stops in the middle, it is still a bit reluctant for Tang Yin's body that has not recovered from his grief.

The territory of Wu County is flat, and the scenery on the mountains is unique. The only way to say it is "the red sun and white clouds are low with your head up, and you can see all over the world and five lakes."

After walking up and down the mountain, Xu Su's cheeks blushed in Tang Ziwei's arms, but Tang Ziwei's hands and feet were sore and limp, without any charm.

At dusk, several people said goodbye at the foot of the mountain.

Since Tang Ziwei doesn't know how to drive a horse, the son is obviously very interested in Tang Ziwei and wants to go with him.So Zhang Ling carried the beaded curtained carriage to send the reluctant Xu Su back to the boat, Zhu Zhishan and the others didn't want to get too involved with Zhu Chenhao, so they also took their leave first.

Zhu Chenhao and Tang Ziwei walked to Wu County with a bodyguard.

Winter is approaching, and the sky is getting dark early.Zhu Chenhao and Tang Ziwei walked shoulder to shoulder in the suburbs, always wanting to say something in the silence, "Did Brother Tang have a good time today? Then Xu Su is clever and intelligent, Brother Tang really has a good eye."

"I just want to tell the prince about this matter, don't meddle in his own business in the future, and do something disturbing."

"I just want to make friends with Brother Tang. You have no money in your family, so I'll buy the girl you like for you. What's wrong?" Zhu Chenhao curled his lips and didn't care.

"Su Niang and I are not what the prince thinks, even if it is true, I don't need you to do these things for me." Tang Ziwei frowned.

"I do know that you and her often correspond by letter. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that you have a good relationship. Besides, you are just a prostitute, and you can be a playmate." Zhu Chenhao said.

Tang Ziwei's eyes darkened, "She is my friend, it's best not to let me hear what your son said a second time."

"It's rude to rest!"

"To shut up!"

The guard beside Zhu Chenhao scolded, but Zhu Chenhao reprimanded him back.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and Zhu Chenhao's heart was very confused. For some reason, this Tang Ziwei was always different from others—whether it was his attitude towards him or his tolerance towards him.

In the quiet air, the wind gradually picked up and the leaves rustled.

Tang Ziwei suddenly stopped, and after a while, he turned and faced the woods on the side of the road.

The sun was already sinking, and the shadows in the forest were vague and unclear.Tang Ziwei pressed Zhu Chenhao's shoulder, and said in a deep voice to the shadow:

"come out!"
