Chapter 505 Even More Frustrating!
Hearing Zhang Youyu's sigh, Wang Zhideng quickly made a few gestures to Zhang Youyu, and Zhang Youyu nodded with satisfaction after seeing it.
The others looked confused. You two mortal enemies have such tacit understanding?
When they were teenagers, one of them was Wen Zhengming's last disciple, and the other was a young genius recommended by Wen Zhengming.
More than a decade ago, the two fought for the position of leader in Suzhou's literary world, and then became enemies. In the end, Zhang Youyu lost and became crazy.
Unexpectedly, it is really the mortal enemies who understand each other best.
I don't know how much price Wang Zhideng's gestures contain. Anyway, Zhang Youyu finally took out the attitude of a teacher and shouted to Gao Changjiang:
"Why doesn't Lin Tailai come out to see me? Has he become the Nine Yuan Great Immortal and doesn't want to recognize his teacher? Why don't you call him out!"
It would be better if Zhang Youyu didn't say anything. If he said this as a teacher, Lin Tailai would have to come out.
As a semi-literary man, Gao Changjiang rarely sits on the same level as several local literary giants at the same time, and he is reluctant to leave the stage.
He still wants to continue to enjoy the feeling of sitting and discussing with several literary giants.
He advised earnestly: "Master Lin has been very irritable recently, and you can't mess with him. You should talk to me, old gentlemen."
Zhang Fengyi asked curiously: "Returning home with the glory of Jiuyuan is a great pleasure in life. What's there to be irritated about?"
Gao Changjiang explained a few more sentences, "Old Master Lingxu doesn't know.
First, the Lin Group's stall is getting bigger and bigger, and the resources required are getting bigger and bigger.
It is no longer possible to rely on twists and turns and opportunism to make a living. What is needed is real money and support from top to bottom.
Second, as the Lin Group grows, the internal disputes are becoming more and more complicated, and all need to be coordinated and resolved by the master.
For example, our Hengtang College feels that the Hengtang Fish Market has too much impact on the school, and hopes that the fish market will be moved.
But the fish market is where Mrs. Huang is emotionally attached, and she is determined not to move away, which is a contradiction."
All the people present are top literati, and their reading comprehension ability is not a perfect score, but 90 points.
After hearing the end, everyone understood that Gao Changjiang was deliberately showing off his status in front of everyone.
What he meant was, you see, I, Gao, can fight with Lin Tailai's beloved mistress.
After the fight, I can still be alive and kicking, sitting here chatting and laughing with you, this is called industry status.
Finally, Gao Changjiang concluded: "In short, if Lin Zuoguan is called out, the old gentlemen will only be more upset. If they get angry and hurt their bodies, it's not worth it."
The anxious Wen Yuanfa couldn't bear it again and said: "My son has been captured by Lin Jiuyuan! What can be more upset than this?"
Gao Changjiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he still couldn't control the situation.
Others didn't give face, and he, Gao Changjiang, didn't serve him, so he turned his face and said:
"You refused to listen to my kind advice, old gentlemen, don't regret it after you ask for trouble!"
Then Gao Changjiang went to the easternmost cross-courtyard and invited Lin Tailai.
That's right, Lin Tailai was not in the main courtyard at this time, but in the easternmost cross-courtyard.
As we all know, for safety reasons, the main gate of the Lin Mansion does not face the central main courtyard, but the east wing.
In the east wing, a large number of guards and family members are stationed.
After Mr. Lin captured the people, he temporarily placed them in the east wing and conducted friendly interrogations.
When Gao Changjiang arrived, he saw the three scholars with bruised faces and noses, and knew in his heart that the friendly interrogation by the host must be very effective.
At this moment, Mr. Lin was still teaching Feng Menglong earnestly, "If I hadn't taken action, how could they confess? They were instructed to deliberately bully and humiliate you?
So you have to remember that you can't mix in the literary world without force. The literary world is not much different from the social organization in form."
The sixteen-year-old Feng Menglong didn't think that Wen Zhenmeng, who was the same age as him, could have such a mind.
Seeing Gao Changjiang calling him, Mr. Lin criticized him, "Are you still capable? Can't you even tell a number?"
Gao Changjiang muttered, "I'm not the Nine Yuan Immortal."
Mr. Lin cursed and switched from being a gangster to being a literati, which annoyed him, and went to the living room of the middle courtyard to meet someone.
The bright and clean flower hall did not make Mr. Lin feel better. After taking a look around, he started to talk to the old hermaphrodite:
"It's really rare! Teacher Youyu and Mr. Lao Deng would actually sit at the same table!
What made you two put aside the grudges of more than ten years and sit together?
I went to Nanjing to visit Hai Qingtian a while ago, and went to Nanqu to visit old acquaintances for you. I didn't hear that Ma Xianglan and Zhao Caiji reconciled?
By the way, Ma Xianglan asked me to pass a message to Mr. Lao Deng, are you going to marry her or not?"
Wang Zhideng's forehead was bulging with veins, but Zhang Youyu suddenly jumped up, looking like he was so angry that he stood up and was ready to scold Lin Tailai as a teacher.
But then he heard Zhang Youyu say to Wang Zhideng and Wen Yuanfa:
"Now that Lin Tailai has been summoned, my mission has been completed, and I'm leaving you all!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Youyu dragged his broken straw sandals and walked out of the flower hall quickly.
The rest of the people: ""
You can say Zhang Youyu is crazy, you can say Zhang Youyu is insane, but you can't say Zhang Youyu is stupid.
When to stay and when to run away, he knows it clearly
Zhang family's eldest brother Zhang Fengyi hurriedly shouted: "Second brother, don't leave! Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it later!"
Zhang Youyu was puzzled. Usually when he was embarrassed, his eldest brother wished he could get out of here and disappear. Why was it abnormal today?
He stopped again and sat on the steps outside, "I'll just bask in the sun here."
Zhang Youyu, the nominal teacher, was not in the room, so Lin Tailai had no worries.
Looking at Wen Yuanfa, he said: "It's really rare! The head of the Wen family actually went to visit someone else's house!
What kind of wind can make the head of the Wen family not be reserved and come to the gate of our Lin Mansion?
This ruins your grandfather's reputation. I heard that your grandfather didn't even go to pay homage to Yan Song! "
If you don't want to be in the literary world, just memorizing and plagiarizing is useless. You also need to understand the ways of the world. Otherwise, others will not be able to understand what you are saying.
Wen Zhengming lived until the age of ninety in his later years. He was old, senior, and prestigious.
Therefore, in the Suzhou literary world, Wen Zhengming "lived in seclusion" in Shihu in his later years and rarely went to see others, or in other words, only others came to see him.
There are two allusions at that time. One is that Ningbo was still open to navigation at that time, and foreign envoys passing by Suzhou on their way north would pay homage to the Wen family gate to show their admiration.
Second, the powerful Prime Minister Yan Song passed by Suzhou, and Wen Zhengming did not go to meet him, which made Yan Song very unhappy.
Later, because Wen Zhengming had many disciples and disciples, and the Wen family had a transcendent status in the Suzhou literary world, Wen Yuanfa adhered to his grandfather's "family style" and rarely visited others.
That's why senior official Lin would joke that it was rare for Wen Yuanfa to visit Lin's house, or it might be a mockery.
Wen Yuanfa couldn't help but be in a trance. Is Lin Daguanren's words mocking the Wen family, or calling him Yan Song?
Zhang Fengyi had no choice but to smooth things over and said, "Jiuyuan, listen to me, you and I are of the same Suzhou cultural background, what can't we say?"
Lin Tailai snorted: "In order to push Wen Zhenmeng to rise to power, your literary family instigated others to suppress and humiliate Feng Menglong, his peer in the literary world, with the intention of excluding Feng Menglong, who was more outstanding than Wen Zhenmeng, from the literary world!
I, Lin Tailai, have resisted the hegemony in the literary world since my debut, and I can’t stand this kind of thing!
What's more, Feng Menglong is my little brother. If I don't stand up for him, how will the world view me, Lin Tailai? "
Wen Yuanfa immediately denied it, "There is absolutely no such thing! Our Wen family has never instigated others to suppress Feng Menglong!"
Official Lin chuckled a few times, "It seems that Mr. Wen has come to the Lin Mansion too few times and interacted with me, Mr. Lin, too little. He doesn't know my rules."
Wen Yuanfa couldn't answer the question immediately. What's the rule? Is it a club rule?
"Lao Gao! Tell him!" Lin Tailai ordered Gao Changjiang, who was standing beside him.
Gao Changjiang said without any emotion: "In front of Lin Zuituan, it doesn't matter what you think the facts are.
Lin Zuoguan thinks that the facts should be what they are, and that is what they are. "
"It's so verbose." Lin Tailai criticized Gao Changjiang, and then said to Wen Yuanfa: "I don't want you to think, I just want what I think!"
Gao Changjiang felt inferior. There was indeed a gap between his speaking skills and those of sitting in the audience.
"Absurd!" Wen Yuanfa became angry again without realizing it, "Are you completely ignoring the facts?"
Zhang Fengyi only played the role of smoothing things over today and said: "Don't be too suspicious of Jiuyuan. The Wen family will not do such a thing. After all, there is a family tradition passed down from Mr. Wen Hengshan."
Lin Daguan, who has always been very difficult to talk to, was uncharacteristically suspicious and said suspiciously: "Does Feng Menglong being bullied really have nothing to do with the Wen family? In other words, the Wen family did not instruct others to do it?"
Regardless of whether Wen Jia did it or not, Zhang Fengyi could only say: "No, no!"
It can be regarded as repaying Mr. Wen Hengshan's kindness in supporting him back then.
Lin Tailai responded to Zhang Fengyi: "I still believe in Mr. Lingxu very much. Since Mr. Lingxu said that the Wen family didn't do it, then it didn't happen."
With Lin Tailai's words, at this point in his lecture, the atmosphere in the room finally began to relax.
According to the normal routine, the rest is nothing more than bargaining on how to compensate Feng Menglong.
"Jiuyuan, what else do you want to say?" Zhang Fengyi asked tentatively, which meant that he would mention it if there were conditions.
For example, Lin Tailai doesn't want to focus on ranking the literary world and dominating the literary world? You can mention it now.
After all, the writer has a special status in the Suzhou literary world and is a good partner for cooperation.
Lin Tailai said: "Since Feng Menglong's bullying has nothing to do with the Wen family, then you can leave!"
Even Gao Changjiang next to him was shocked. He was extremely generous in sitting in the restaurant, with no conditions at all!
Wen Yuanfa almost answered, but then he remembered, what are we going to do?
It seems that Lin Tailai just said to let them go, but not to let his son go?
"What does nine yuan mean? Can the dog be released together?" Wen Yuanfa asked doubtfully.
Lin Tailai replied: "What I mean is that since your Wen family did not do this, it was done privately by your son!
In other words, the prince probably secretly instigated some scholars to bully Feng Menglong.
And you, the Wen family, are completely unaware of it, so don’t be surprised if you are ignorant! "
Wen Yuanfa: "???"
Isn't it more serious than accusing the Wen family to let Wen Zhenmeng, who has a bright future and embodies the future hopes of the Wen family, take the blame?
Lin Tailai, what kind of magical logic is this? If the Wen family doesn't admit it, will it become Wen Zhenmeng's selfish act?
Zhang Fengyi, who had always tried to smooth things over like soy sauce, now became nervous.
If Wen Zhenmeng has such a reputation, how can he be worthy of the cultivation of Mr. Wen Zhengming?
"Jiuyuan, stop joking. It's too scary." Zhang Fengyi said quickly.
Lin Tailai laughed, "The three scholars have confessed. They were instructed by Wen Zhenmeng.
And there are written confessions and signatures as evidence. How can I joke?
Of course, in the legal sense, this unilateral confession is useless.
I don't know if you mind if I send the confession to others for verification?"
Everyone: ""
Such an obvious confession under torture, can it still be a legal issue?
You, Lin Tailai, are simply forcibly putting the blame on others!
If you have the guts, frame the Wen family, don't embarrass a sixteen-year-old child!
Wen Yuanfa's heart was cold. He never expected that the nature of the matter would turn out like this!
You, Lin Tailai, used the dirty tricks in the court struggle on a sixteen-year-old child. It's really shameless!
Even if it's a dimensionality reduction attack, there's no use of cannons to kill mosquitoes!
Gao Changjiang shook his head and said to Wen Yuanfa with sympathy:
"I just said that you can just talk to me, don't provoke Lin Zuoguan, it will only make you more upset!
Everyone in the underworld knows that it is best not to talk directly with Lin Zuoguan!
It's a pity that you think too highly of yourself, look down on me, Gao Changjiang, and don't understand the rules of the underworld. Now you can only regret it!"
Everyone really wants to beat Gao Changjiang together. Can they be blamed?
Lin Tailai follows the rules of the literary world for a while, and the rules of the underworld for a while, switching back and forth randomly. Who can keep up with his thoughts?
At this moment, there was silence in the room. Even Zhang Fengyi, who was trying to smooth things over, didn't dare to speak easily, for fear that if he said something wrong, it would cause irreversible consequences.
Zhang Youyu, who was basking in the sun outside, suddenly poked his head into the doorway and pointed out:
"Don't explain to the Wen family, just make a condition that Lin Tailai can't refuse!
After all, Lin Tailai is just asking for a sky-high price! Just agree to it and it's over!"
Mr. Lin: ""
Sometimes, Mr. Zhang is really annoying! He even leaked the pretentious lines he prepared!
Wen Yuanfa calmed down and asked, "Jiuyuan, what do you want from my son?"
Lin Tailai said calmly, "A lot, such as the leader of the literary world and the ranking of the literary world, not only in Suzhou, but also in the whole country."
Zhang Youyu seemed to be triggered by some keywords, and rushed in from outside, asking repeatedly, "What did you say? Leader? Ranking? The literary world is going to be restarted?"
More than ten years ago, Zhang Youyu failed in the fight for the leader of the local literary world in Suzhou, and then he became crazy
Lin Tailai said in a deep voice, "Since everyone is here today, let's settle the matter! Gao Changjiang goes to close the door!"
Wang Laodeng, the leader of the local literary world in Suzhou, looked very excited. He didn't expect that he would be usurped when he saved others!
