Chapter 336 Ting Hui, Long Time No See
Naturally, Huang Tinghui would not shirk the invitation from the Jinshi Master, not to mention that Tang Sanhu was quite famous in Hangzhou.
As a Jinshi during the reign of Emperor Renzong, Tang Sanhu served as an official for three years. However, because Tang Sanhu was too outspoken, he submitted a memorial to the emperor and included a copy of the emperor's companion, Eunuch Cao.
Tang Sanhu was reprimanded by the furious emperor, and finally Tang Sanhu resigned in anger.
Finally, he returned to his hometown, which is Hangcheng Prefecture and stayed at home.
Many fine calligraphy and paintings over the years were also made by Tang Sanhu while living at home.
After the college examination, Huang Tinghui originally planned to stay in Hangzhou with the little girl for a while.
But now I have to go to Tang Mansion for a visit.
"Husband, are you an old acquaintance with Mr. Tang?"
Lian'er looked at Huang Tinghui curiously and asked.
"I have never met him before!"
"If we are acquainted, his son and I would meet more often."
Huang Tinghui smiled and said jokingly.
"Husband, you are the only one with a poor mouth!"
"But Master Tang seems to be a Jinshi. If we go to visit such a great master, what should we bring with us?"
She is indeed a virtuous lady. Lian'er thought of this before she even thought of it.
"Master Jinshi!"
"There must be no shortage of gold, silver, and jewelry in their home. As for some calligraphy, paintings, and some porcelain, he should also have no shortage of them."
"In that case, what should I give you?" Lian'er seemed to be talking to Huang Tinghui, but also seemed to be thinking about something herself.
"What hasn't Master Jinshi seen before?"
"What's more, he invited me to go this time. We can just bring others with us!" Huang Tinghui said rather heartlessly.
"Husband!"
"You are fooling around again!" When the little girl heard what Huang Tinghui said, she immediately pouted, "But Mr. Jinshi must have very high standards!"
"No matter what we give you, it seems that I can't get it back!"
The little girl frowned tightly, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she said, "Husband, I have it!"
"I thought of it!"
Seeing the smile on the little girl's face, Huang Tinghui became interested for a moment, "Lian'er, what did you think of?"
"Husband, do you remember that we brewed a new wine?"
"The wine has been sent to Hangzhou now, but my godfather and godmother haven't sold it yet!"
“Isn’t tea and wine what literati like most?”
"Send a pot of fine wine to Mr. Tang, I think he will like it!"
You are indeed a smart little girl, listen to what the little girl said.
Even Huang Tinghui couldn't help but hugged her little head and kissed her on the forehead.
"Lian'er, you are so smart!"
"Tang Zihu is an upright person, and he likes drinking the most!"
"Many of his paintings were completed in an instant after being drunk. They are not easy to draw!"
"Bring him some wine, he will definitely like it!"
"And if you can first conquer a master of calligraphy and painting, a Jinshi master who likes to drink!"
"Why worry that this wine can't win over most people?" Huang Tinghui said to Wu Feilian with a smile.
"Husband!"
"What others are thinking about is how to give gifts; what husband is thinking about is how to sell the wine!"
Listening to what Lian'er said, Huang Tinghui also laughed twice in embarrassment.
…
After taking two pots of fine wine from the restaurant and placing them in the basket, Huang Tinghui and Lian'er left the restaurant and walked toward the Tang Mansion.
Lu Qiaosi always liked to join in the fun. Seeing that his "godfather" and "godmother" were going to visit other people's homes, Lu Qiaosi made a fuss and wanted to go with them.
However, she was scolded by her own grandmother. In anger, Lu Qiaosi locked herself in a small room and sulked.
Huang Tinghui smiled secretly when he saw Lu Qiaosi looking like this.
He didn't dare to do this in front of Lu Qiaosi.
Among so many people, the one who could cure Lu Qiaosi was her grandmother.
After getting on a carriage, Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian went to the Tang Mansion.
I don’t know how long the journey lasted, but the carriage stopped at a place, and the coachman’s voice came over, “Master!”
"Tang Mansion has arrived!"
Hearing the carriage driver's voice, Huang Tinghui hurriedly opened the carriage curtain.
Sure enough, as soon as he opened the curtain, Huang Tinghui saw the plaque of the Tang Dynasty.
"Thank you very much, husband!" Huang Tinghui took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to the coachman.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
After receiving Huang Tinghui's money, the carriage driver was naturally very grateful to Huang Tinghui.
"Lian'er!" Huang Tinghui stretched out his hand and held Wu Feilian's hand tightly.
"let's go!"
"Well!" Wu Feilian pulled up her skirt and walked down from the carriage.
Seeing the characters "Tang Mansion" on the plaque again, the two of them walked towards Tang Mansion.
After a few gentle knocks on the door of "Tang Mansion", someone immediately opened the door of Tang Mansion.
"It's you!"
"Are you really here?"
Tang Zihu looked at Huang Tinghui, and his face suddenly fell down without any concealment.
"Hahaha, brother Zihu!"
"Tinghui came to visit the Tang Mansion as agreed!" Huang Tinghui said to Tang Zihu with a smile.
Tang Zihu nodded. Although he still didn't like Huang Tinghui very much, he didn't lose his etiquette.
"You two, come with me!" Tang Zihu led the way, Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian followed behind.
Before he even entered the hall, he could hear hearty laughter coming from him.
"Hahaha……"
"Brother Tang, it is true that a tiger father has no dog son. Your son will also be a Jinshi in the future!"
Someone in the hall stroked his beard and praised Tang Zihu's father.
"Zihu is talented and learned, but he can't be praised too much!"
"You still need to practice and practice!" Tang Sanhu said hurriedly after hearing what his friend said.
"Young man!"
“What kind of young people are they if they are not energetic?”
"Am I right?" said the man in the hall.
Hearing that Tang Sanhu seemed to be talking to someone, Huang Tinghui looked at Tang Zihu curiously, "Does your father have any guests?"
Tang Zihu nodded, "My father's friends have been in the house these days!"
"Listening to their conversation, that person seems to be an acquaintance of you!"
Tang Zihu spoke briefly and said nothing more.
"Is it related to me?" After hearing Tang Zihu's words, Huang Tinghui became interested for a while.
Just when he was full of curiosity, a voice came over, "Ting Hui, it's you who are here!"
"What are you still doing outside?"
"Why don't you come in quickly?" said the man in the room.
