Dressed as Tang Bohu

Since I met Yang Yuanjian on the street that day, time flies, and it is the end of January in a blink of an eye.

Examiners from all over the country poured into the capital one after another, and there were many new faces who looked like scholars on the streets that had just been stained with greenery.

In front of Fenglelou, the largest restaurant in Nancheng, a galloping two-horse carriage barely stopped.The driver glanced around, turning a blind eye to the people around him, and quickly jumped out of the carriage to make room for the people in the carriage.

The curtain was raised, and the first to get down were two young actors.After they got down, they stood on the side of the car door, one on the left and one on the right, turned around and handed each other, and then saw Xu Jing squeeze the little hand of the actor on the left, and walked out of the carriage.He still had the same fair and shy look, without any sense of domineering, but he had the pompous demeanor of a playboy.

Tang Ziwei came down from the right, avoiding the outstretched hand, jumped off the carriage and walked towards the door by himself.The actor who was avoided was stunned, and was about to stop and follow, but was grabbed by Du Mu who was in the car, and quickly stood still on the spot to help Du Mu get out of the car.

A few people walked into the restaurant, they couldn't see it from the outside, but they could only see the scale of the restaurant when they entered the inside.

The front hall of Fengle Building is spacious, decorated with gardenia lamps pasted with gold and red gauze, about ten or twenty steps wide.The building has three floors, and there are more than a dozen famous prostitutes leaning on the railing, laughing and competing for beauty.There are courtyard corridors, rockery and fish ponds in the back, creating a leisurely scene.

"Brother Tang Xian, you are here!"

A few people walked to the stairs, and when they were looking around, they saw two scholars greeted them from the wine table in the lobby.

These two people, one tall and one short, are both about thirty years old, and they stayed in the same inn as Tang Ziwei and the others, so they recognized each other after coming and going.It was the tall man named Lin Zhuo who spoke at this time, and he had a very forthright personality.

"Brother Lin, Brother Ma." Tang Zi nodded to them with a timid smile.

Xu Jing and Du Mu at the side also greeted, a group of people including attendants and actors, there were nearly ten people standing at the stairs, very eye-catching.

The clerks in Fengle Building noticed them from half a hall away, and hurried to this side, when they reached the door, they happened to meet three people coming in from the door.

The voices of the three masters came in first because half of their bodies were still outside.But it was not to greet the buddies, but to Tang Ziwei and the others, expressing dissatisfaction deliberately in his tone: "I wonder which young master is galloping on the street like this, and even brought You Tong into the restaurant. It turns out that it is the Xu family Young master and Tang Jieyuan!"

Hearing his words, Xu Jing and Tang Ziwei's expressions did not change, but Du Mu's expression sank.

"Xu Ping, it's you again!"

Xu Ping, the leader of the three, glanced at him, "I'm talking to Mr. Xu and Tang Jieyuan, why are you making such a fuss?"

As soon as these words came out, Du Mu's face immediately turned red.

He has been with Tang and Xu for more than a month, if you want to say the most unpleasant and even hateful place, this is it.Now that Tang Ziwei's reputation is so great, no one in the whole country who can read a few words knows Tang Jieyuan's name.Xu Jing is also from a scholarly family in Jiangyin, and he has been among various celebrities for many years, and he is quite famous.

Dudu Du Mu, whenever he signed up for his own account, he would smile and say that he had admired him for a long time as if he was stunned, and he would also ask bluntly if he was a proud author, so he was embarrassed for a while.The number of times is too many, Du Mu is not used to it, but seems to have more scales, and he will be angry when he touches it.

What's more, Tang Ziwei looked at this person—Du Mu turned his eyes, and saw Tang Ziwei's face was calm, he didn't take Xu Ping and the others seriously, and he didn't take Du Mu seriously.

"Okay, why are you stuck here. The lobby is so noisy, I think we should go upstairs and find a private room to sit." Tang Ziwei waved to the waiter at the side.

The guy was also clever, and he quickly responded, "I'll take the masters to Ershan."

This Fengle building is also very particular, the third floor is the three mountains, and ordinary drinkers are not allowed to go upstairs easily, but just sit downstairs.Those who have both fame and talent can go to the second mountain if they have high wine power.As for the three mountains, those who are not of high status are not allowed to climb, and they are often free on weekdays.

They wanted to leave without getting the expected response, how could Xu Ping be happy.He was the No. 20 ninth in the September provincial examination. He has a cousin Xu Tai in his family who is the hereditary commander of the Habayashi avant-garde.

With such a background, who do you want to talk to?However, Tang Ziwei's unfaithful words to him made him lose face, and his demeanor was extremely eye-catching.Xu Ping couldn't get used to it.

He noticed the gazes of troublemakers in the lobby, and raised his voice: "Tang Jieyuan, if you can't hear others, it's easy to be misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding. There are many people who don't like me, and you are just one of them." Tang Zi shook his head with a timid smile, turned around and followed the man upstairs.Ji Tong nodded seriously behind him, "That's the truth!"

Xu Ping's mouth almost twisted in anger when he saw the little boy agreeing in a serious manner.His words were originally intended to force Tang Ziwei to respond to him with a long face in front of these drinkers, but he did not expect that they responded, but responded with such a sentence.What a shame!

In a blink of an eye, he saw that the receptionist had already come up to meet him, but he didn't dare to say anything when he saw that the atmosphere was not right.Xu Ping pointed, "You, find us a private room on the second floor!"

"Please also report the names of the three sons." The man stood still and said, "Our building has rules. Those who climb the second mountain must—"

"Hey, you little fellow, why are you so ignorant?" The person beside Xu Ping took a step forward...

There was a lot of noise downstairs, but Tang Ziwei had withdrawn his attention.

Entering the room, six people sat in a circle around the table, two actors clustered around Xu Jing, Ji Tong stood beside Tang Ziwei, seeing that the food had just arrived on the table, the main course was still slow, and the group of people had been drinking for a few rounds .

During the chat, Lin Zhuo mentioned the matter of the imperial examination. Xu Jing's fair face was flushed, and he said with a smile: "I don't know how sure it is, but this time, brother Tang, he will definitely be named on the gold list and be at the top of the list."

"This is too exaggerated!" Lin Zhuo laughed.

"Do you know Cheng Minzheng Cheng?" Xu Jing said: "My father has some friendship with Cheng. Last year, he was the chief examiner of Yingtianfu Township Examination. He named Brother Tang as Xie Yuan and praised him. Now the Ministry of Rites will take the exam He is also the main examiner, so you say brother Tang is not in the middle?"

Xu Jing spoke casually, but Lin Zhuo's face suddenly turned serious. The short Zhang Cheng beside him also stopped chopsticks, and asked casually: "Friends from my father's generation, I should visit. I really admire that policy theory, I wonder if Xu Xiandi can convey it for me in front of Cheng Xueshi?"

"This—" Xu Jing was about to speak, but was interrupted by Tang Ziwei.

"Brother Xu Xian got a little dizzy from drinking. Before the big exam, it's better to avoid suspicion. What Brother Zhang meant, I think Brother Xu Xian will bring it for you in the future."

Xu Jing was not annoyed when Tang Ziwei interrupted him, blushed and changed his usual manner, raised his hand and hooked Tang Ziwei's shoulder, and put his face close to it.Putting his mouth close to his ear, he whispered: "If you don't go, then don't go, my father still knows Li Dongyang, have you met him?"

Du Mu heard those words vaguely, and a dark look flashed in his eyes.Lin Zhuo on the opposite side couldn't hear Xu Jing's mosquito-like voice. Seeing him like this, he thought he was too drunk. With a hearty smile on his face, he patted Zhang Chengdao beside him: "That's right, brother Xu Xian really drank too much. gone."

Tang Ziwei pushed him away calmly, and Ji Tong beside him hurriedly squeezed in between the two of them, holding the chopsticks for Tang Ziwei to pick up vegetables with a blank expression.Tang Ziwei looked out of the window at the corridor and courtyard. From the height of one floor, he could clearly see the scenery below and everyone's faces.

He looked at Heisha, who was hiding in the courtyard and was not distracted. The latter also raised his eyes to see him, and Xianxin waved to him, pointing to the south corridor on his side.

Tang Ziwei didn't know what he was signaling, so he poked his head to look.There were four people in the corridor, three of them were the familiar Xu Ping and his party, and there was a young man who was a head shorter than them. His clothes looked not bad, but they were a bit disheveled.

When Tang Ziwei looked over, the tall scholar next to Xu Ping kicked the young man to the ground.

"Boy, I'll teach you a lesson today so that you don't meddle in your own business in the future!" The tall man was wearing a scholar's shirt, but he rolled up his sleeves rudely, as if he was about to punch him.

The boy rolled over and got up from the ground, grinning his teeth and said: "How can this be considered meddling, I am a hero who does what is right. You hit me today, and I will make you regret it!"

Tang Ziwei saw from a distance the attendant standing hunched over the door restlessly, so he knew what was going on.

This brat was kind, probably because he couldn't see Xu Ping and the others embarrassing his buddy, so he forced his way out.Speaking of which, there may be some factors on his part that made Xu Ping so irritable.

Tang Ziwei took a second look, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Heisha, motioning him not to watch the excitement, but to hide quickly.

Heisha shrugged, took two steps back and disappeared into the corner of the wall.

Ji Tong kept an eye on Tang Ziwei's movements, and when he saw him looking out the window, he followed suit.This look was terrible, he recognized the three people in that scene, and his already serious face suddenly wrinkled into a ball.

He tugged at Tang Ziwei's sleeves, held back for a long time, and said, "They are really...too unruly. How can they bully the few with the big and the small with the big! Right, young master?" Ji Tong's moist eyes stared at him as if fascinated Tang Ziwei, the latter could not see what he was thinking.

Seeing that the boy in the hallway was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and not much older than Ji Tong, Tang Zi frowned helplessly.These few flies are also hanging in the air, saving the boy is just a matter of effort, since Ji Tong wants to fight for justice, it is not impossible.

He got up from his seat, this sudden movement caused several people at the same table to look at him.

"This wine isn't intoxicating, but it makes me drool with alcohol and feel very uncomfortable. I'll be back in a while." Tang Ziwei pursed his lips, and walked out the door while talking.

Xu Jing half propped his arms on the table, and said vaguely: "Brother Tang, do you need to accompany...?"

"It's enough for Ji Tong to follow me." Tang Ziwei stretched out his hand to the side, and it just landed on Ji Tong's shoulder, which was the most comfortable height.

The two went out of the door of the private room and went straight downstairs, walking towards the courtyard.When they arrived at the South Corridor, Xu Ping and the others were still entangled with the young man, the kid was still a little tender, he was beaten to dodge, his clothes were stained with a lot of dust.

Tang Ziwei left Ji Tong where he was, and strode over by himself, "It's time to stop, don't you three feel ashamed of bullying a brat?"

"Tang Yin!" Xu Ping turned his head abruptly, looked around, saw only Tang Ziwei standing in front of him, and Xu Ping was still clenched into a fist, a little ready to move.

"Do you know, it's a stupid decision for you to appear here alone." As he spoke, the two companions behind him also let go of the boy, and turned to surround Tang Ziwei.Xu Ping was proud of himself, seeing that Tang Ziwei was still standing there in a daze, he took a step with his right foot, and punched brazenly!

Xu Ping looked quite tall, but no matter what, he was also a scholar.It's just a matter of showing off to those young masters on weekdays, but it's really not enough to show off in front of Tang Ziwei.

His movements were reflected in Tang Ziwei's bright eyes, and he stepped forward with his left foot to meet Xu Ping's fist, and his body suddenly fell short!

Like a swimming dragon, he dodged the fist in an instant and arrived at Xu Ping's side.Just as he was about to strike back, he was thrown into his arms by the young man who rushed over without hesitation.

The young man didn't see Tang Ziwei's actions clearly, he only thought that this person was afraid of losing money, and he rushed over to entangle Xu Ping, but unexpectedly, Tang Ziwei stepped between the two of them.Being surrounded by the young man, the two of them huddled together and bumped towards Xu Ping, knocking him staggering.

"Hey, you scholar, why are you here to make trouble!"

The boy straightened up, rubbed his blushed forehead, and pulled Tang Ziwei, who was still standing still, behind him. "Just follow me and take care of yourself."

Tang Ziwei was taken aback for a moment, and after understanding what he meant, he couldn't help laughing—angrily.
