Several talents from Yangzhou's Eight Shows came to visit and saved some money, hoping to try out the talents of "Tang Jingyu".

Qiao Shoumin was quite competitive. When he came, he said to Tang Yun, Tang Rangzhi, and Shi Zengxue: "Tang Jingyu has a good reputation. I don't know if it's for nothing. At least I forced him to write a few poems. Let's take a look." Let’s see if there is any real material. If you are really talented and learned, you can be friends with me.”

Seeing such an elegant garden, he couldn't help but thought to himself: "To trade a piece of scrap metal for such a mansion, there must be something strange about this guy. Even if I want to test it, I can't be arrogant and rude!" "

As soon as Wang Chong welcomed the five people into a hall, Hu Su'er turned back. The little fox went crazy for some time. The hat on his head was crooked, revealing his cloud-like hair. He did not avoid suspicion and lay on the king's back. In Chong's ears, a few gossips were whispered.

Situ Youdao, Qiao Shoumin, Tang Yun, Tang Rangzhi, Shi Zengxue and other talented people couldn't help but smile when they saw that this "little book boy" was familiar with Wang Chong and had no restrictions on their comings and goings.

Yangzhou's thin horses are famous all over the world, and the scholars in Yangzhou are also fond of elegant things.

Although Hu Su'er was wearing men's clothes, it was obvious that she was a girl. Since she was so close to Wang Chong, everyone would guess that this woman had an extraordinary relationship with him.

Wang Chong did not explain, but just scolded: "You must not lose your rules in front of such talented people. Go and tell the servants to bring fragrant tea and arrange fruits. I am not familiar with this house, so you should be more careful." some."

Hu Su'er stuck out her sweet tongue and immediately ran out like a little whirlwind. Under her command, various maids and servants arranged for the first few people to enter the banquet.

Wang Chong asked casually: "But I don't know, Luo Jinnong, Li Chan, and Wang Mengbai are brothers, why don't you come over?"

Tang Rangzhi couldn't help but said first: "Jin Nong and Meng Bai have been at Li Chan's house recently. The three of them must have had a banquet last night. Maybe they are still a little hungover at this time, so they arrived a little late."

Master Zengxue said with a smile: "That guy Li Chan has been troubled by a trouble recently. A beggar came to him many times and insisted on letting him become a monk and learn Taoism. Brother Li Chan comes from a scholarly family. As long as he studies hard, How can I be the top scholar in high school and show my lifelong ambitions to learn Taoism from a beggar?"

Qiao Shoumin also smiled and said: "That beggar must be a swindler. If he really has some Taoist skills, it will be fine even if a few of us become apprentices!"

Wang Chong was slightly surprised and thought to himself: "That beggar... is most likely my master. This Li Chan should be my senior brother who has not yet started?"

Qiao Shoumin was very excited and shouted: "If I also learn magic, I will go to the bright moon in the sky and ask Chang'e whether it is cold in Guanghan."

Wang Chong smiled slightly, but secretly thought in his heart: "Brother Qiao is already quite old. I think he already has a wife and concubines at home. Judging from his facial features, his energy and blood are increasing and decreasing. If he is not a boy again, how can he still learn Taoism? "

Since the Taoists of the Demon Sect all attach great importance to the virgin body, it will be difficult for those who have lost their vitality to practice.

What's more, although Qiao Shoumin said this, it was not because he admired Taoism in his heart, but because he felt that if he met a Taoist person, he could learn some magic and have fun in his spare time!

This kind of person lacks Taoism, and the immortal family will never look down upon him.

Situ Youdao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said jokingly: "It's a pity that my family is poor, even a beggar would not come to my door, otherwise I would like to meet this accomplished man."

A few people chatted casually and humiliated the Beggar King Lingsuer. Wang Chong couldn't help but snicker. He knew why Lingsuer came back angrily that day and never wanted to save senior brother Li Chan.

He has been studying Taoism in Tianxin Temple since he was a child. The rules of the magic sect are strict. If he didn't have extraordinary talents, he would have been used as a sacrifice by his master to refine some evil magic weapon.

As a disciple of Tianxin Guan, Wang Chong not only had extraordinary attainments in Taoism, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also in both civil and martial arts. Even Tang Jingyu himself may not be as good as him in terms of literary talent.

Several talented people insisted on reciting poems to accompany the wine. Wang Chong was not afraid of the stage, but after a round of drinking, Situ Youdao, Qiao Shoumin, Tang Yun, Tang Rangzhi, Shi Zengxue and other talented people were also quite convinced by this person. The little prodigy really has something beautiful in his belly.

Qiao Shoumin became more interested, so he splashed ink on the spot and painted a landscape for "Tang Jingyu", and asked others to use the seal together, saying that he wanted to gather together as one of the Eight Shows.

Wang Chong looked happy and asked Hu Su'er to put it away properly, as if he was going to make it a family heirloom.

It didn't take long before young people from the Yang and Cao families came to the meeting one after another.

Cao Pi was in high spirits, and he wore Pan Chi with a beautifully carved scabbard around his waist, which made him look even more youthful and elegant.

Qiao Shoumin and others were polite to Wang Chong, but they paid little attention to the young men and women of Yang Cao's family. Only Situ Youdao was very attentive.

The Yang and Cao family are a martial arts family and have never been famous for their poetry and books. Although the children in the family also read, they are not scholars whose articles are known to the world. Therefore, they are treated condescendingly by these arrogant and talented people. .

The young people from the Yang and Cao families were also impatient to join these scholars. They felt that these "corrupt scholars" were very stubborn and had to have some bad rules in everything they said and did, which was not refreshing enough.

Fortunately, this house was originally the residence of the third lady of the Cao family. She led the young people from the Yang and Cao families to a different place for the banquet, leaving the main venue to Qiao Shoumin, Situ Youdao, Tang Yun, Tang Rangzhi, and Shi Zeng Snow et al.

Wang Chong stayed with both sides for a while, but still didn't see the other three coming. He couldn't help but ask: "Why don't Brother Luo Jinnong, Brother Li Chan, and Brother Wang Mengbai still come to the banquet? But you dislike the simplicity of this place? Tang is vulgar?"

Qiao Shoumin laughed and said, "You can lend me a boy, and I will write a note in my hand to call the three of them."

Wang Chong couldn't summon the original servant of the mansion, so he called Hu Su'er over. After Qiao Shoumin finished writing the note, he asked her to deliver it to the three of them.

Within half an hour, Luo Jinnong, Li Chan, and Wang Mengbai came together.

Luo Jinnong saw them from a distance and said with a smile: "The three of us were going to go swimming in the lake today, but we were forcibly summoned by Brother Qiao with a piece of paper. If we don't punish Brother Qiao with a few drinks, how can we get out of our heart?" Sulking?"

Qiao Shoumin laughed loudly and said, "You should drink as a penalty!"

Wang Chonggong crossed his arms and said, "Tang Jingyu has met three brothers!"

Li Chan was a little depressed at first. He was pestered by the Beggar King Lingsuer, which made him quite depressed these days.

Wang Chong exchanged his sword for a famous garden, and he was very polite. Li Chan thought that he was also a "Ling Suer first-class" Jianghu man, so he didn't want to come to the banquet. I was sick, but he dragged me to drink.
