Dressed as Tang Bohu

"I'm just not sure. Are you a friend or an enemy to me?" Tang Ziwei raised his eyes to Zhu Chenhao, and looked at the familiar young face, revealing a complicated expression he hadn't seen three years ago. .

Zhu Chenhao opened his mouth, and finally said in a low voice, "I'm doing it for your own good."

"For my own good?" Tang Ziwei sneered and said, "Prince, with all due respect, what position do you have for saying this?"

Zhu Chenhao was extremely annoyed at his reckless appearance, but there was nothing he could do about him, his eyes were filled with a stormy look, "You don't know the current situation. Rest easy? Now that the Yang family has got the news that you are going to Beijing, in the capital, I can stand in front of you now, so can the Yang family!"

"I'm not afraid of him coming, or that's exactly what I want." The smile on Tang Ziwei's face remained unchanged, "After all, the Yang family is powerful, and the threat to me is like a tarsal maggot. If he doesn't move me, I won't There is nothing I can do about him, but if he wants to come out of the hole and hurt someone, even if he doesn't hit seven inches, I won't let him come back whole."

When Tang Ziwei spoke, his eyes were bright, and his voice was soft and gentle, but it set a fire in the hearts of those who listened, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

Zhu Chenhao's eyes were also bright, he had admired Tang Ziwei's talent back then, but looking at it now, Tang Ziwei was a bit more extraordinary than he remembered.

However, the more he liked him in his heart, the more angry his face became, "Tang Yin, you are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire! You are just a juren, and Yang Renche's disciple, let alone a juren, even There are more than a dozen Jinshi, and there are many court officials who are good friends, do you think you can deal with the methods of the Yang family?"

"Then what?" Tang Ziwei asked him.

"Of course it is to abandon the imperial examination and stay away from the capital, which is a place of wrongdoing! You follow me back to Nanjing, rich and powerful, powerful and powerful, and I will give you whatever you want." Zhu Chenhao replied.

Hearing his answer, Tang Zi shook his head with a timid smile, "I shouldn't be here, but my lord shouldn't be here even more. My lord is here to persuade me to leave with you, I'm afraid I'll offend the Yang family, and as a lord, there's no need to be here. Going into the capital because of this matter will only arouse the suspicion of the Holy One. If I did such an impulsive and reckless thing just for me, I am afraid that I will not be able to trust and follow the prince even more."

Tang Ziwei spoke bluntly, Zhu Chenhao's face turned red and then turned pale, he said everything he needed to say, and he said dryly and harshly: "Don't be ignorant of good and bad."

It's not speculative, and Tang Ziwei was careful to test him for his change at the beginning, but now he only feels that this person is very messy, and he is not as easy to fool as he was when he was young.

He didn't want to talk too much with Zhu Chenhao, he cupped his hands and said: "Ziwei knows what he is doing, I met the prince once, I hope the prince will not hinder me even if he doesn't help."

Tang Ziwei raised his head, looked at Zhu Chenhao and said, "If that's the case, I'll take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed Xu Jing who had kept his eyebrows down and kept silent the whole time, and the two turned and left.

Eleven and Seventeen looked at their noses and their hearts, their eyes did not fall on Zhu Chenhao, but they felt his unhappiness through the air.

"hiss--"

The horse let out a long cry, Zhu Chenhao got on the horse, took the reins on the horse's back, and said, "Let's go."

"My lord, shall we... go back to Nanjing?" Seventeen asked cautiously.

"Go back to Nanjing, enter the palace! We came and went without saying hello to the emperor, do you think the head is too much on the neck?"

Zhu Chenhao's scolding made the two guards tremble, and without hesitation, they both got on their horses swiftly.But seeing that Zhu Chenhao was not in a hurry to leave, instead he paused at the spot, and after a while he ordered: "Go one of you and follow Tang Yin. Report to me in time if there is any movement."

"Yes!" Eleven, who often does this kind of thing, agreed, and rode his horse towards the inn where they were staying.

Zhu Chenhao watched him go, then waved his whip, and drove the horse towards the palace.Shi Qi followed behind, seeing his prince's straight back on the horse, couldn't help but sigh secretly, and rode the horse to follow.

……

Tang Ziwei went back to the inn, sat down at the table with a scroll of scriptures that he had already memorized, but his mind was still thinking about Zhu Chenhao and the Yang family.

Ji Tong knocked on the door outside, and only after Tang Ziwei responded did he come in with a pot of hot water.

It gets dark early this winter, and even with the doors and windows closed inside the house, it is still unbearably cold.Ji Tong reckoned that Tang Ziwei had nothing to do right now, so he brought hot water to help him wash him up and put him on the bed first, then warmed him under the quilt, so as not to cause any trouble due to freezing.

Tang Ziwei looked at the busy child in front of him, feeling a little emotional, "Ji Tong, you should be 12 years old this year, right?"

"Yes, why did the young master suddenly mention this?" Ji Tong squatted in front of the basin twisting a towel, and when he heard his question, he stood up neatly and looked at him.

"Have you thought about what to do in the future?" Tang Ziwei asked him.

"Naturally, I want to serve the young master all the time." Ji Tong thought about it seriously, and then said sternly, "My mother said that the young master is a Wenqu star descending to earth, and he will surely achieve great things in the future. Let me follow you well."

Tang Zi laughed in fear, raised his hand and rubbed his head, "Then you have thought about it, what will you do if I am down?"

"I haven't thought about it." Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, holding the towel and looking over in a daze, as if he was stumped.

Seeing his cute appearance, Tang Zi laughed, took the towel in his hand, dried his feet, and then untied his belt.Seeing this, Ji Tong rushed forward, took the coats he had taken off, stood on tiptoe and put them one by one on the shelf in the room.Tang Zi was afraid to see that it was difficult for him to get enough, so he suddenly realized that the girl Yetang had gone somewhere.

After Tang Zi had finished lying down under the quilt, Ji Tong pulled the corner of the quilt for him, picked up the copper basin and retreated, and closed the door tightly.

Tang Ziwei went to bed early that night, and woke up before Chen Shi the next day.It was already daylight outside, Tang Zi feared that he would not be able to fall back to sleep after tossing and turning in the room, so he simply got up from the bed, got dressed and wanted to go for a walk in the street.

The imperial examination is just around the corner, and he has already rummaged through the Four Books and Five Classics. There is nothing left and right, so it is better to go to the bookstore to have a look.

Tang Ziwei quietly left the door, and when he turned around, he saw that the door of the next door was also pushed open silently, and Heisha came out from inside, and nodded at him.

In the early morning of the capital, the fog was misty, and the residual snow along the road melted in the rising sun, leaving behind wet marks.The ferry at Xizhimen is already a bustling scene of people coming and going.Tang Ziwei and Heisha had breakfast at the inn, then rented a carriage and went straight to Beicheng.

Different from the prosperity of Xizhimen Ferry, the streets of Beicheng District are another scene of beauty.At this time, the sun was already halfway up in the sky, and the people on the wide street paved with bluestone slabs were well-dressed or luxurious, and there were occasional galloping horses and carriages, but most of them dared not run amok here.

Tang Ziwei was wandering slowly on the side of the street, and Heisha was hanging two meters behind him, saying that this distance was convenient for him to observe the surroundings and react quickly when encountering danger, so Tang Ziwei let him go.

There are many calligraphy, painting and lithography shops along the street, most of which are gold and silver jewelry shops.Tang Ziwei walked for more than a moment before he found a bookstore that looked a bit old in comparison by the side of the street.

There is a wooden plaque hanging on the front of the bookshop, but the name of the shop is not engraved on it, and I don't know what it is for.

Tang Ziwei stepped in. The shop was not big, but two shop assistants were hired to watch the door, and they didn't solicit business, but there were quite a few people.There were three rows of shelves in the store, and there were books on them. Some of them looked brand new and tidy, but some were covered with a thin layer of dust, and no one came to clean them up.

Tang Ziwei glanced around, went to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have any new policy books here?"

The shopkeeper raised his head from a thick manuscript in his hand, and said in a cold voice, "Yes."

Tang Ziwei was still waiting for him to continue talking, or to bring him the book, but when the shopkeeper finished speaking, he lowered his head again.He secretly thought that he had a personality, and then asked, "Aren't you going to tell me where the book is?"

The shopkeeper raised his head impatiently, "If you look for it, you will know where the book is."

Heisha wasn't interested in these books at first, but he interrupted after hearing his words, "If you knew, why didn't you tell us? Isn't this kind of attitude afraid of driving away all the guests?"

"Whether it's looking for books or people, it's all about fate. Those who want to come will always come, and those who want to go will eventually go, so why bother." The shopkeeper glanced at him, shook his head, and buried his head again. to the manuscript.

"That makes sense." Tang Ziwei nodded under Heisha's surprised gaze, but actually went to find it by himself.

It was only time for a cup of tea, Tang Ziwei walked up to the shopkeeper with three books in his hand, his eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Unexpectedly, you even have Guan Shaoci's poetry anthology here. This one has only hand-copied volumes. Since the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, a lot of them have been lost. I have been hearing his name but not seeing his volume. Now I am lucky to see it, but it is thanks to the shopkeeper's suggestion." point."

"What?" The shopkeeper finally put down the scroll in his hand this time, and looked at Tang Ziwei squarely.Seeing that he had clear eyebrows, shining eyes, holding the three volumes of books upright in both hands, he sighed: "I didn't expect that there are people who know Guan Qing like you, and since they are destined, they will give Wenyin 30 taels." Bar!"

"30 taels?!" The scholars around couldn't help but look sideways when they heard this number, and Heisha even asked directly, "But a manuscript and two books, why are they so expensive?"

The shopkeeper snorted softly through his nostrils, and didn't even look him in the eye, let alone pay attention to his words.

"This is taking advantage of me." Tang Zi smiled timidly, bought the three volumes immediately, saluted the shopkeeper, and left.

Heisha followed behind him, muttering to himself, "Since you are so rich, why don't you pay me more?"

Tang Ziwei smiled helplessly, turned his head to the side, and was just about to explain a few words to him, when a young man in brocade clothes suddenly appeared in his vision and attracted his attention.

I saw the man wrapped in light yellow fur, wearing a jade crown, and wearing white boots, with a demeanor as warm as jade.Behind him were two entourages in brocade clothes. When he passed by, he met Tang Ziwei's eyes, and with a frown, they all saw the look in each other's eyes.

The two passed by each other, Tang Ziwei blinked and looked away.When he looked back, he had already forgotten what he was going to say to Heisha, so he just let it go.

On the other side, the man stepped into the Unknown Bookstore in the direction Tang Ziwei came out, walked straight to the counter, and asked the warm words of the shopkeeper who had just sat down.

"Shopkeeper, I overheard a friend mentioning that you have a collection of handwritten poems by Guan Shaoci. I would like to promise you a thousand pieces of gold, can I ask the shopkeeper to sell it to me?"

Hearing his words, the shopkeeper glanced at him in surprise, and said, "What day is it today, why does everyone know Guan Qing?"

"Oh?" Hearing what he said, the young man in brocade clothes was slightly taken aback, "How do you say that?"

"The word fate is the most wonderful." The shopkeeper shook his head, picked up the thick handwritten scroll, and his tone returned to his indifference, "The book has already been bought, so you are a little late."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and made it clear that he would not pay attention to it.

The entourage behind the young master in brocade frowned, and wanted to go forward to ask the buyer's name, but the young master in brocade clothes waved his hand and said, "Forget it, maybe I am destined to miss that book, there is no need to force it."

He looked around, shook his head, turned and left the bookstore.
