As mentioned earlier, the Eight Talents of Jiajing were also divided into three grades, Ren Han was in the second grade, and Lu Gao was in the third grade.
At the edge of the lake outside the pergola, Wang Xiwen and Wang Shiyi saw Ren Han leaving and could not do two things, so they had no choice but to abandon Lu Gao and chase and dissuade Ren Han.
Qin Dewei in the pergola observed this scene and was even more certain that the black and thin host definitely came with a mission, but he didn't know who he was.
At this gathering, it is likely that the black and thin host was engaging in political connections and wooing the eight talented people from Jiajing in the name of a gathering of the same year for an outing.
It doesn't matter to Qin Dewei whether the Eight Talents of Jiajing saw it, or whether other participants saw it.
Qin Dewei's outrageous words and deeds just now were all a test of the party. Now that the nature of the party is clear, the test is over.
So Qin Dewei had no intention of staying in the "enemy area" for a long time. As the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will get beaten.
He only needs to report the situation he observed today to Master Xia, and Master Xia will naturally handle it.
Just as Qin Dewei was about to turn around and step out of the pergola, suddenly Tang Shunzhi, who ranked second among the Eight Talented Scholars of Jiajing, said: "Qin Dewei, don't leave!"
Qin Dewei looked back with a very surprised look on his face. He was really surprised. He seemed quite unconvinced by the other party's tone.
Now Qin Dewei's mentality is: It's good if I don't cause trouble for you, but you actually dare to take the initiative to call me out?
Although you, Tang Shunzhi, would have grown up ten or twenty years later, you would have become an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, the legendary best gunner in the south of the Yangtze River, and Qi Jiguang’s teacher.
But now you are just a young man in his twenties, far from being fully developed.
"What advice do you have?" Qin Dewei gave a response that could advance or retreat.
Tang Shunzhi said again: "Qin Dewei, you only pay attention to Lu Jiangfeng and Ren Zhongzhai, but refuse to pay attention to me. Are you looking down on me, Tang?"
Qin Dewei: "???"
With Qin Dewei's wit, he still failed to understand what Tang Shunzhi meant?
Tang Shunzhi said in a leisurely manner: "I heard that you claim to be the best in poetry in the south of the Yangtze River, and that you combine the retro style of the past with the Wuzhong school. I, Wu Jin, Tang Shunzhi, am not convinced."
Wujin County belongs to Changzhou Prefecture, which is the most developed Changzhou Prefecture in "Susongchang" and is also in the hinterland of Jiangnan.
Qin Dewei was confused. Why didn't Qin Dewei know what Tang Shunzhi said?
The Wuzhong faction is the group of the four great talents in Jiangnan. Compared with the retro style, it is a local force.
What combines the retro style and the Wuzhong style? Who compiled this?
"Mr. Wen Hengshan said this when he was a guest in Changzhou." Tang Shunzhi reminded him.
Wucao! Qin Dewei was shocked. Wen Zhengming had done this behind his back?
When did he get involved with the Wuzhong sect? Is it because he took Tang Bohu’s seal of being the “most romantic talent in the south of the Yangtze River”?
Tang Shunzhi didn't care what Qin Dewei thought, and said loudly: "I haven't seen you until today. Do you dare to compete in poetry?"
Thinking of Tang Shunzhi's hidden identity as a marksman master in historical legends, Qin Dewei subconsciously replied: "This is a battle between gentlemen. If you lose, you are not allowed to hit anyone."
Tang Shunzhi: ""
Who are you looking down on? Huiyuan, who has lived in Jiajing for eight years, will he beat you, a fifteen-year-old kid?
To be honest, Qin Dewei has rarely encountered this situation of being challenged about his poetry in the past two years. The only time he met Li Panlong at Liaocheng Pier was once.
Qin Dewei has also been troubled for a long time by always unilaterally powerfully outputting, and lacking the experience of rebounding and being slapped in the face.
Tang Shunzhi said calmly and calmly: "Since it's an outing, let's use the theme of spring and let you come first!"
Qin Dewei muttered a little, Tang Shunzhi should be a very wise man. Seeing that he was so confident, could he have some secret weapon? Or had he prepared some masterpiece in advance?
However, Qin Dewei decided to give Tang Shunzhi some face and not be too abusive like he did to Wang Shenzhong last time.
If not for anything else, he was afraid that a generation of gun kings would beat someone in a hurry. Tang Shunzhi, unlike other literati, might actually be capable of force.
So Qin Dewei casually published a song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou·Reflecting on the Spring Day of Tang Xunbu":
"Today is not yesterday, so what will tomorrow be like? What do I really regret that I did not study for ten years? To ask the old man who was blown by the east wind, how many times have I traveled through the maple rivers and orchid trails, and thousands of miles have turned into plains.
Lonely outside the setting sun, I am feeling sad! Do you know the meaning of the ages? It’s just a whisker. After the famous mountain cuisine, the ancients are also considered fools.
The front of the court was green one night, red in the March rain, and heaven and earth entered my house. It is easy for everyone to take a rest, but don't listen to Zigui's call."
Then Qin Dewei cautiously took two steps back and signaled to Tang Shunzhi: "It's your turn."
Tang Shunzhi blinked and quickly raised his hands to Qin Dewei: "The first place in Jiangnan is worthy of the reputation. My skills are not as good as others, so I am willing to be inferior!"
Qin Dewei: "???"
You, Tang Shun, have been pretending to be cool for a long time, and you have laid so much groundwork, and this is it in the end?
Tang Shunzhi made a bow to everyone in the pavilion again, and said angrily:
"I'm so angry! I don't want my poems to be defeated by Qin Dewei's hands today, and I couldn't help Wang Zunyan save his face. I really don't have the shame to stay, so I'm leaving now!"
Then Tang Shunzhi nodded to Qin Dewei, puffed up his sleeves, and walked calmly out of the pergola.
Qin Dewei was speechless, he had realized something.
Tang Shunzhi just wanted to find an excuse to escape and leave this impure gathering of the same year, and then he used himself as the excuse!
By the lake, Wang Shiyi was pulling and persuading Ren Hanzheng, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tang Shunzhi walking out again.
Wu Cao! Why are the grades of people leaving getting higher and higher? Tang Shunzhi is recognized as the second among the Eight Talents of Jiajing, and is a grade higher than Ren Han!
"Brother Jingchuan, please stay!" Wang Shiyi dropped Ren Han in a panic and turned around to chase Tang Shunzhi again.
But for some reason, Tang Shunzhi's steps were flying, he turned a corner and disappeared among the tourists.
Wang Shiyi, who had not chased anyone back, was furious and walked back to the pergola, staring at Qin Dewei with eyes as bright as lightning.
Although he was not in the pavilion just now, someone running away must have something to do with Qin Dewei!
Qin Dewei was extremely helpless and said innocently: "I want to say that it's really not my fault that Tang Jingchuan left."
Wang Shiyi said solemnly: "If it's not your fault, who can you blame?"
Qin Dewei raised his hand and pointed at Yan Shifan: "It's all his fault!"
Yan Shifan: ""
"Originally, you and others were so numerous that we had no power to restrain the chicken, so we were already afraid and wanted to leave." Qin Dewei explained: "But this Yan Jiansheng was bent on instigating a relationship with me who is the same year as your Yichou Branch, which caused Such consequences.”
Wang Shiyi looked at Yan Shifan suspiciously, could this really be happening? Could it be that the man named Yan came here deliberately to cause trouble?
Yan Shifan was angry, but he didn't dare to express it. He didn't want to stay still, so he said: "Since I can't trust you, I'll leave now!"
Seeing Yan Shifan leaving, Qin Dewei also said to Wang Shiyi: "I'm sorry to bother you, so I'll take my leave."
"Wait!" Wang Shiyi skillfully stopped Qin Dewei.
Qin Dewei didn't know how many times he heard these two words. He really didn't want to stay in this place surrounded by enemies, but why was it that every time someone refused to let him go?
