Chao Yu Jie

Chapter 33 Chapter 33

When Wen Zhuo came to visit, this Yang Xuezhi was receiving a visitor, and it was his student Yang Ruoming.Although Yang Ruoming said that he came here for a medical visit, he brought someone to introduce him to Yang Xuezhi at this time, so it was a bit surprising to hear the young man announce Wen Zhuo's visit.

Yang Xuezhi immediately asked someone to invite that Shizi student in.

When Wen Zhuo walked in, he first bowed to Yang Xuezhi.Those two also stood up and bowed their hands to him, and he returned the salute.

When Yang Xuezhi saw Wen Zhuo coming to visit him, he felt very relieved, and his face showed some joy, he said, "Why is your son here?"

Wen Zhuo said: "I passed by Mr.'s house on business, and I came to see Mr. Why is Mr. sick, but did you invite a doctor?"

Yang Xuezhi said that he was well, and introduced two more people to him.Wen Zhuo listened, with a happy expression on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "South Yang and Bei Liu, I met you today."

Although Yang Ruoming and Liu Chengmei are not very old, they are very knowledgeable, and now they are quite famous in poetry.Yang Xue knows good poetry, and he often mentions famous talented people from all over the world on weekdays, but Wen Zhuo has no talent for poetry, so he can only appreciate it.

Yang Ruoming was a bit surprised, he got his name because of his young age, he has always been a little bit arrogant, before he just thought that Wen Zhuo was an idiot, thinking that it was only due to the favor of the Marquis of Xiangyang that other people praised Wen Zhuo.However, since Wen Zhuo entered the door, he saw that his demeanor, speech and deeds were all polite and gentle, and he realized that it was his own villainous heart.

After listening to Wen Juan's words of praise for himself, he stopped holding it and started to exchange pleasantries with him.

But that Liu Chengxi said very little, and his expression was indifferent.

Yang Xuezhi listened to what they had said, and knew that Yang Ruoming must have something to do with bringing Liu Chengxuan here, but Wen Zhuo was here, and the two of them were so tender that they didn't say anything until they said goodbye.

It turned out that although this Liu Chengmei was famous for his poems, his family was very poor, and he had exhausted all the money he had spent in Beijing this time.However, the cost of food and clothing in the bustling Beijing is worrying. Although Yang Ruoming supported him a little, it was only a temporary plan after all.Liu Chengxuan felt deeply embarrassed, but he refused to accept his help any more.He originally thought that Yang Xuezhi would grow up in the capital and have a wide network of contacts, so he brought someone to beg the teacher to find a decent livelihood for Liu Chengmei, so that he could get enough food and clothing first, but unexpectedly, Wen Zhuo came to the door and got married. The two of them couldn't open their mouths.

Because Wen Zhuo was walking outside, he had already seen the expressions of the two of them, so he began to care about it.

Several people knew that Yang Xuezhi had not recovered from his illness and sat down for a while, so they left.

When they reached the door, the two were about to say goodbye to the prince, but Wen Zhuo said with a smile: "It's still early, and Wen Mou has admired senior brother and brother Liu for a long time, so I wonder if we can have a cup of tea together?"

Yang Ruoming heard him call his senior brother, so he knew that the Prince of Xiangyang wanted to befriend him, and he didn't have any ill feelings towards him, so he agreed with Liu Sheng.

The book is diligent and clever, and after hearing the arrangement of the prince, he ran ahead and booked a private room in the teahouse for a few people.Therefore, when several people arrive, the tea and snacks will be ready.

Several people sat down calmly and exchanged greetings.

Wen Zhuo has a handsome appearance, and he has the agility of a young man. Yang Liu is not a pedantic person. Although he heard that the elder son was ostentatious, now he feels that he can make friends with him.

After drinking a pot of tea, Wen Zhuo asked Liu Sheng, "Brother Liu, are you here for the imperial examination?"

Seeing that he asked, Liu Chengxi replied that it was indeed so.

Wen Zhuo asked him where he lived, but Liu Chengxi was an open-minded person, and he only said that he lived in Mianyun Temple. Wen Zhuo thought about it and remembered that it was a small temple in Xishan.

Yang Ruoming couldn't help being surprised when he saw that he was asking these questions, so Wen Zhuo smiled and said: "The day before yesterday, Mr. said that my poems were not good, so I studied hard for a few days. Brother Shiwen has a lot of ambitions, so naturally he wants to get fame."

Liu Sheng is Yang Ruoming's best friend, and he was delighted to hear Wen Zhuo's praise, but he said, "My son is too modest. I heard from my teacher that he also had a couplet in the sunset at the Ministry of Rites the day before yesterday: In the afterglow of grass and smoke, Who would rely on good sentences without words, I feel sad after listening to them, how can there be no poetic talent?"

Wen Zhuo thought that plagiarism really is not a good thing, it has only been a few days, and it has spread all over the capital, even his own father and brother praised a few words, and now he heard it from Yang Ruoming again, his face almost burned, and he waved his hands again and again Said: "You can't count what you do, you can't count what you do."

Then he said to Liu Cheng: "Although Mianyun Temple is quiet, it is a bit out of the way. Brother Liu is not as convenient as living in Beijing."

Yang Ruoming thought to himself: After all, he is a child of an aristocratic family, and he doesn't know the sufferings of the world when he speaks, and his livelihood is difficult.

It's just that Wen Zhuo's demeanor is natural, his eyes are clear and he doesn't mean to be contemptuous or insulting. Yang Sheng naturally doesn't want to argue with him, but he just said kindly: "After all, the son is young, and he doesn't know the economic situation of the world. Although Shangjingzhong is prosperous, the cost is not as high as elsewhere."

Wen Zhuo knew that these two people were both short of cash, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Senior brother is too pedantic! Li Taibai has a poem to prove it: I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone. Senior brother and Liu Brothers are all great talents, how can you talk about such a trivial matter?"

Yang Sheng smiled wryly: "That's the case. It's just easier said than done!"

"What Brother Liu said is true." Wen Zhuo poured tea for the two of them, and said, "To tell you the truth, there are relatives in my family who also sell calligraphy and painting. Senior Brother and Brother Liu are educated, why don't you write some calligraphy and paintings on fans?" Consignment in the store is also considered an elegant livelihood."

Liu Cheng was silent for a while, and then he replied: "What your son said is true, but this calligraphy and painting fan needs first-class study utensils, so Liu does not have such capital."

Wen Zhuo heard his words loosen, and said with a smile, "I have high-quality stationery, but I don't have a great talent like Brother Liu. It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about."

Liu Cheng melancholy knew that he wanted to make friends with him, so he didn't put on an air of hypocrisy, so he agreed. Yang Ruoming was also happy to hear that, and he also liked Wen Zhuo a little more, feeling that he was a kind-hearted man with a heart of old ways. .
