The best Daming golden turtle son-in-law

Chapter 223 I Want It All

"You said you are the first of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River..." After seeing the painting, Li Xin's affection for Tang Bohu increased rapidly, and she no longer despised Zhu Bin. "Sit, please sit up, come, let's serve some good tea!"

"Hehehe!"

After Tang Bohu showed off his talents, he wanted to retreat. He didn't want to do anything for Zhu Bin, but when literati get together, they inevitably despise each other. Mr. Wei was cast a blank stare by his master, thinking that Tang Yin had robbed him. In the limelight, Master Wei wants to show off his talents in front of his master, so as to regain some face.

"Ah, Mr. Tang invited me. I am a teacher in Mr. Li's mansion. My surname is Wei. People respectfully call me Master Wei. Here is a couplet..."

How could Tang Bohu have the mind to match up with others? It's like a contemporary university professor asking him to do elementary school arithmetic. It's a bit absurd, but you still have to be polite:

"Please."

This Master Wei peeped at this very talented scholar surnamed Tang. He seemed very humble, bowed his head and bowed his body, but there was an extremely lonely talent in his eyes, which made Master Wei very uncomfortable. , he thought that since the opponent had already agreed to challenge, he had to use all his strength to try it out, couplet, what topic should he come up with... hey!He saw a few servants outside carrying the gifts, and they were carrying the gifts inside the house with a load!

"I heard that I have my Shanglian, it's... people take the burden lightly and pick the heavy one!"

"Short feet, long short, long short!"

Tang Bohu didn't raise his head, he didn't even think about it, and he blurted out a perfect right and wrong, and implied a counterattack to the irony of Mrs. Wei's Shanglian saying that Tang Bohu people carry heavy burdens lightly. We have come a long way. Although the road is far away, we have come here with our feet. There is a kind of momentum!

"It's amazing!" Master Wei gasped. Of course, Li Xin was quite surprised. The key issue is his quick thinking. Others have to frown and think about the couplets. Twist off several stems and tendrils", it's difficult, look at his ability!
"I also have the second couplet." The simple and honest scholar who looked like a farmer brought by Jiang Bin also came over and said to Mrs. Wei, "Your upper couplet is for people to take the heavy burden lightly, and Bohu short-circuits the length Chang, in fact, it’s so good, I’ll tell you one at random, the water is slow and the boat is urgent, and the slow load is urgent!”

"Ah... I'll..."

Master Wei's face was flushed, he was still not convinced and wanted to hold back another couplet.

At this time, Li Xin came over and pushed him aside, and smiled at Tang Bohu:
"It seems that this Tang Jieyuan is worthy of the reputation of being the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, but when it comes to the term 'talented scholar', there are too many people in our Ming Dynasty who can be called talented scholars. Since you are so talented, let me point you to someone. You compete with him, isn't your painting a masterpiece? There is a person who has long been the master of the prince's painting, and his painting is said to be better than yours!"

"Oh?"

Tang Bohu kept his head lowered, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes!
"Okay, let's not talk about painting for now. Can you do poetry? I'll make a poem and see how fast you can compose poems. This is quick wit. Get it, what...you use this waist knife to make a poem!"

"Waist knife..."

"You can't do it, hahahaha! I've already done it, listen!"

Tang Bohu was taken aback. This Mr. Li thought he was using ready-made poems to compare his wits with him. This method is too shameless.

Li Xin didn't care about that, picked up the waist knife and recited loudly:

"The general is born with courage and arrogance, and his waist is full of autumn water and wild goose feathers!"

"It's so bold!" Tang Yin was startled, and he blurted out praise.

"Listen to me, no, no, listen to me, the general is born with courage and courage, with a knife on his waist! The wind blows, the drums drum, the mountains and rivers move, and the lightning flashes. I can escape. On the day of Taiping’s return, my husband and I will untie our battle robes.”

"Hiss..." Tang Yin's face turned pale with fright from this poem, especially what is the last sentence!He just cupped his hands and returned to his original position.

Seeing that his subordinates were dying, Zhu Bin came over with an embarrassed smile and said:

"I said Mr. Li, let's just talk bluntly, let me talk about the purpose of coming here!"

"Oh, talk!"

"Brother Li, I want you to come forward and set up a ring, so that these people we brought and Yang Ling will have a decisive battle in the capital!"

"What kind of idea is that?"

"You know, when I was in the capital a few months ago, my father didn't even have the intention of rebelling against him. It was that Yang Ling who had no excuse for the crimes he wanted to inflict on us. It was forced to turn around, and all our foundation in Ruoda in the capital was taken away by him, I am really not reconciled!"

"I'm not reconciled to you looking for him, why are you looking for me?"

"Mr. Li, are you pretending to be confused with me or something? You haven't discovered your family's property. How many of those businesses have been robbed by Yang Ling's Tianyi Building?"

"Have it?"

"As far as I know, some trade routes in the world are currently monopolized by the four major merchants. There are four largest and most powerful merchants in the east, west, south, and north. These merchants sell the silk, tea, salt, and fabrics produced by the Ming Dynasty. , porcelain and other items are sold to all parts of the world outside of Ming Dynasty, and the money they get is quite amazing! You won’t tell me that you don’t want to do this business, will you?”

"You mean..."

Li Xin looked at Zhu Bin opposite in surprise, as if meeting a new person:
"You said the four major merchants..."

"The four great merchants are actually a general term, not necessarily the four, but the four directions. At present, I can proudly tell you that we, Prince Ning's Mansion, have mastered the second of the world's four great merchants, the trade routes of the south and the east. , It’s all under my control, you can take a look at the gift list I gave you, is it rich enough? In addition, I will show you another thing, come, bring it!”

After Zhu Bin finished speaking, someone immediately brought an extremely heavy small box, "Boom", and put it on Li Xin's desk. It was obvious that the things inside were very heavy. When he opened it, Li Xin's eyes widened. Box of pure gold, pure gold bars:

"you……"

Li Xin's heart began to pound. His family was rich, but it was the first time he saw so many gold bars of the same color.

"Also, bring them all!"

When Zhu Bin saw Li Xin was tempted, he pulled up his waist and shouted outside: "You guys open your eyes to Mr. Li!"

Ten boxes, 1000 taels, pure gold, that pure gold that couldn't be more pure!

Li Xin was about to be knocked out, Zhu Bin is crazy, taking so much gold just to fight Yang Ling?
"No, you don't know Yang Ling yet. He has already occupied the northern passage. The merchants must listen to him. After we eliminate him, we can successfully occupy the northern passage."

"What's the passage in the north? We also have a passage in the west!"

Zhu Bin didn't speak, but he answered in his heart: "I'm here, what I want is your western passage, and Yang Ling's northern passage, I want everything in the world!"
