Chapter 506 The Story of Inheritance

In order to rescue his son, Wen Yuanfa and several literary giants entered the Lin Mansion, but did not come out that day or at night.

Until the next day, a whole day and night had passed, but Wen Yuanfa still did not come out.

The rest of the Wen family was a little panicked, but no one dared to go to the Lin Mansion again, fearing that they would be beaten to death.

So Wen Yuanfa's younger brother Wen Yuanshan went to find the last hope, that is, Shen Yongjia, the second master of the Shen Mansion.

When Shen Erye woke up from his nap, he was quite surprised to hear Wen Yuanshan's request for an audience. How much trouble did the Wen family encounter that they actually came to ask him for help?

In the heart of Shen Erye, a man of temperament, he still disliked the Wen family. There were two reasons for this.

One was that his father, the chief minister, took care of the celebrities in his hometown and made Wen Yuanfa, who had no achievements, a fifth-rank Tongzhi.

As a result, Wen Yuanfa did not appreciate it very much and resigned in a very noble manner. This made Shen Erye feel very unhappy and felt that his father's face was ruined.

Second, the Wen family, as half of the literary world in Suzhou, never took Shen Erye out to play, or Shen Erye could not fit in.

If not for this, Shen Erye would not have joined the Renewal Society without hesitation, which was really a heresy in the eyes of others.

The Wen family also knew that Shen Erye had resentment towards the Wen family. If it was not for the last resort, he would not have come to Shen Erye for help.

But the situation is like this. Now if you want to get someone out of the Lin Mansion, then only Shen Erye can do it in the whole city of Suzhou.

"I'll go and see!" Shen Erye didn't say yes or no, and his tone was a bit like watching the fun.

Shen Erye walked south along Wolong Street and Jiuyuan Street, and passed through the two large stone archways of Wenwu, and arrived at the Lin Mansion in Canglang Pavilion.

He was taken directly from the gate to the flower hall where guests were being received, but saw that there were a variety of fine wines and delicacies displayed inside, and there were seven or eight beauties accompanying him.

Master Shen called out subconsciously: "You are here enjoying the feast, but you didn't call me!"

But there was no response. Master Shen then noticed that everyone at the table was listless and exhausted, their eyes were dull, and they were shaky when they sat. How could they have the energy to reply?

The missing head of the family, Wen Yuanfa, who the Wen family wanted to find, was also among them.

Master Shen then said to Lin Tailai, who was sitting on the main seat: "The Wen family found me and said that you arrested Wen Yuanfa and several old gentlemen."

"Nonsense!" Lin Tailai refuted: "I won the first prize on behalf of Suzhou, and several old gentlemen in the literary world celebrated for me together. Isn't this reasonable?

Are these delicacies, wines, and beauties all fake? It's normal to stay up all night when you are in the mood, right?"

Zhang Youyu shouted with his last strength: "It's the third batch. My old bones can't stand it anymore!"

Then he fell to the ground and refused to sit up again, but was forcibly lifted up by two beauties.

Mr. Shen stood in the middle and gave each of them some advice. The old gentlemen are not young anymore, don't let them die.

"I agree, I agree! You can be the leader of Suzhou if you want!" Wen Yuanfa, the head of the Wen family, stood up shakily: "I want to go home now!"

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and added: "Go home with my son!"

"No problem! I'll send my men to take you!" Lin Tailai responded.

"Wen Yuanfa!" Wang Zhideng, the current world's number one commoner poet and the leader of Suzhou's local literary world, got angry and called out Wen Yuanfa's name directly.

Of course, in terms of seniority, Wang Zhideng was Wen Zhengming's last disciple, and Wen Yuanfa was Wen Zhengming's grandson. It was not too rude for Wang Zhideng to call Wen Yuanfa's name directly.

Wang Zhideng also stood up and said with all his strength: "Thirty years ago, Mr. Wen Hengshan passed away, and the literary world of Suzhou was full of heroes.

My father and I have fought for more than ten years to ensure that the position of the leader of the alliance has not been lost!

However, you have abandoned me like dirt today and sent me to outsiders casually. Are you worthy of your father and grandfather?"

Wen Yuanfa looked at Wang Zhideng expressionlessly, and then said to Lin Tailai: "But I have one condition. You must accept my son Wen Zhenmeng as your student."

Lin Tailai: ""

This condition was raised quite suddenly, and even Mr. Lin was caught off guard.

It can only be said that the influence of the Wen family in the Suzhou literary world for several generations has been long-lasting, and there is still some "strategy".

"Wen Yuanfa!" Wang Zhideng called his name again, expressing his strong resentment!

But Wen Yuanfa turned a deaf ear to Wang Zhideng's angry voice and only looked at Lin Tailai.

After a little thought, Lin Tailai nodded and said, "Okay!"

"And the three confessions." Wen Yuanfa wanted to make another request.

But this time Lin Tailai flatly refused: "This must be kept in my hands to see the effect later!"

Wen Yuanfa was speechless. He even kept the black materials of his students to prevent future troubles. What kind of teacher is this?

"Very good!" Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Youyu also said together.

The two old brothers accompanied Wen Yuanfa and Wang Laodeng for a day and a night, and they were finally free.

Only Wang Zhideng was lost, as if the only person who was hurt in the end was himself?

As the last disciple of Mr. Wen Hengshan, he guarded the Wen family for three generations, but in the blink of an eye he became the abandoned child of the Wen family?

Also, if he lost the title of the leader of Suzhou's local literary world and lost the power to comment on famous flowers, would the beauties in the flower world still treat him enthusiastically in the future?

Wang Zhideng was immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate himself, and suddenly heard someone laughing wildly. He looked up, who else could it be if it wasn't his old enemy Zhang Youyu?

"Hahahaha! Wang Laodeng! You have come to this day! More than ten years ago, I couldn't compete with you!

But more than ten years later, my student snatched the leader from you! The sky has eyes, and the way of heaven is good! "

Damn it! Wang Zhideng's defense was completely broken, he rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Youyu and was about to beat him.

For a moment, the hall was filled with ecstasy. Lin Daguan quickly stepped forward and forcibly separated the two old men with one hand and the other.

Mr. Shen who was watching was dumbfounded. Could it be that he had inadvertently witnessed the change in the Suzhou literary world?

He couldn't help but ask a metaphysical question: "Who is greater, the leader of the Suzhou Literary Circle or the leader of the Renewal Society?"

Lin Tailai answered very clearly: "Whichever name is mine, whichever one is bigger!"

When sending the person out, Lin Daguan suddenly said to Wen Yuanfa: "When I was young, I had an old man named Tang who was very friendly to me.

He is Tang Liuru's nephew. According to him, Tang Liuru's seal is engraved with the title of "The Most Talented Talent in the South of the Yangtze River". Now he is in the Wen family?

If you don't mind, Brother Wen, can you lend me this seal for a few days? "

Wen Yuanfa originally wanted to deny it, but after hearing Lin Daguan's unquestionable tone, he could only reply bitterly: "Okay, I'll send it over tomorrow."

The greedy Lin Tailai added: "Also, I have recently fallen in love with the art of calligraphy and painting, especially collecting various famous paintings.

Your literary family must have collected some authentic works by Lingzu Mr. Hengshan and Tang Liuru, right? Can you also lend me a few paintings so that I can observe and appreciate them for a few days? "

Gao Changjiang, who had been despised by Wen Yuanfa just now, said angrily: "Everyone in the library accepts descendants of the Wen family as students, so borrowing them is too unreasonable.

Zuo Guan is the Nine-Yuan True Immortal. It is such a blessing to have Zuo Guan as his teacher. It is also appropriate to give him a few paintings as a gift to become his teacher. "

Wen Yuanfa said bitterly: "Mr. Gao's words make sense."

Official Lin then told Zhang Fengyi, "I want to see the original, not the fake. Please help me identify it, Mr. Lingxu."

Zhang Fengyi is the largest trader in Suzhou's calligraphy and painting industry, and is also a leading appraisal expert.

When Zhang Fengyi and Wang Shizhen fell out, it was because of the conflict over their right to speak on the appraisal of calligraphy and painting.

Hearing what Lin Tailai said, Wen Yuanfa responded sensitively: "There are no fakes in our Wen family!"

"Hehe, hehe." Lin Daguan chuckled magically.

Wen Yuanfa: ""

Riding a horse, why do you feel like Lin Tailai knows something?

Who leaked this secret to Lin Tailai? Could it be the old man Zhang Fengyi?

Since they would need to cooperate later, Lin Daguan saw through it without telling him.

Today, Wen Zhengming's paintings are all over the world, and 80% to 90% of them are fakes. Many of them can even be fake. Is it possible for outsiders to imitate such paintings?

The group of people talked and arrived at the gate.

Wen Yuanfa bowed and saluted Wang Zhideng, but did not speak again and left silently.

He knew that it was unethical to abandon Mr. Lao Deng like this, and the behavior was like betrayal, but he hoped that Mr. Lao Deng could understand his difficulties.

If a famous family wants to be inherited for a long time, the head of the family must be able to assess the situation and not be swayed by emotions.

Of course, the leader of the alliance does not just come to whomever a few people say they want to be. It still takes some time and some tricks.

But if you have the full support of half of the literary family, Zhang Fengyi, a person with vast connections, coupled with Lin Tailai's nine-dollar fame, and the backing of Prime Minister Ting Shenfu, it will be easy to become the leader of the Suzhou literary circle.

On the way home, Zhang Fengyi said to Zhang Youyu: "The Wen family has its advantages in being able to continue to inherit the family name.

It's a pity that the descendants of my Zhang family don't have outstanding talents. I wonder if our brother's literary reputation can be passed down. "

Zhang Youyu was indifferent, "I have already passed on my secret knowledge of the Book of Changes to Lin Tailai!

When future generations talk about the inheritance of Confucian classics from the Nine Yuan True Immortal, they will never mention me! "

Zhang Fengyi sighed: "The greatest blessing in your life is to accept Lin Tailai as your student.

With him taking care of you, I can feel at ease if I walk in front of you in the future! "

Seeing Wang Laodeng fall from the alliance leader's throne with his own eyes today, Zhang Youyu's heart seemed to open up and he became a lot more awake.

He was a little touched and said, "It's hard for me that my eldest brother, who is over 60 years old, still worries about me like this."

Zhang Fengyi said with great pity: "Brother, you are already fifty-five this year and you don't even have any descendants. You might as well adopt one from me."

Zhang Youyu sighed: "I appreciate your brother's love, but I'd better forget it!

As long as the Zhang family has the eldest brother, your incense can be passed down. People like me are an insult to our ancestors, so there is no need to stay behind. "

Zhang Fengyi scolded: "How can you think like this? Even if you don't care, as the eldest brother, I can watch you cut off the incest?"

"I really don't need it here!" Zhang Youyu said passionately, "Brother, you don't have many heirs, so there is no need to part ways."

Zhang Fengyi suddenly turned down her face and said coldly: "You must agree! Otherwise, all your monthly money will be deducted!"

Zhang Youyu: "?"

They had such a good brotherly love, why did they suddenly change their attitude?

Zhang Fengyi continued: "Today I saw that the Wen family sent Wen Zhenmeng to Lin Jiuyuan as a student, then the next generation of the Wen family will be stable.

Then I suddenly thought, you accepted Lin Tailai as your student, but you don't even have any descendants, so isn't this kindness wasted in vain?

If you have a son, you will be Lin Tailai's junior brother, and the next generation of my Zhang family will be stable!

So for the future of our Zhang family, you must adopt one from me!

As long as he is Lin Tailai's junior brother and his surname is Zhang, I don't care whose son he is! "

Zhang Youyu: ""

So family ties can also deteriorate, right?

It turns out that wealth is not just material. The teacher-student relationship between himself and Lin Tailai is equivalent to an industry worth thousands of gold.

Forget it, the sober world is too tiring, and it’s more comfortable to be crazy.

"I, Zhang Youyu, will not easily sell my son's place. If I want to be my son, I have to pay more." Zhang Youyu returned to his crazy look and replied in a very unserious manner.

Two days later, Lin Daguan couldn't wait to say to Wang Shiwu: "Madam! I will go out of the city to patrol the west tomorrow, and I will come back in a few days."

Wang Shishi was slightly unhappy, "My husband has only been back home for a few days, but you can't sit still at home?

It seems that Canglang Pavilion Lin Mansion is just a temporary place to stay for you. Is your heart still in the towns of Hengtang and Mudu? "

Official Lin now understands that sometimes you should not be reasonable with women.

In the past, he would definitely have said that the food, water, industrial park, Hengtang Academy, etc. in the west of the county were the foundation of the Lin Group. Now that he has returned to Suzhou, how could he not inspect it?

But now Lin Daguan only replied: "You see you just think too much, I just wanted to visit my old friend.

For example, I recently got a Tang Bohu seal, and I want to take it over to show it to an old friend, Old Man Tang. He is Tang Bohu's nephew, and he mentioned this seal back then. "

Wang Shiwu couldn't help laughing and said: "My husband is so elegant. He has met so many celebrities and dignitaries, but after the wedding, he immediately thought of finding an ordinary old man like that to show off. Don't you think it would be more interesting? "

Lin Tailai replied: "The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as old as before. If you can't bear to leave me, you can go with me and treat it as a trip."

Wang Shiwu said: "It is a good virtue to be able to remember the past. I will not go away, so as not to affect my husband's authority."

Official Lin went out from the city to patrol the west. The formation was extraordinary, and the pomp was bigger than that of the prefect anyway.

The eye-catching Shenwei Lieshui was cleaned up again and parked at the Xujiang dock, with more than a dozen ships guarding it in front and behind.

On the Xu River, no ship can be faster than the Shenwei Lieshui.

The first stop of the western tour was Hengtang Town, ten miles away. Lin Daguan stood on the deck of the ship, but the fishy and salty smell on the shore was still so strong.

After all, there is a larger fish market next to it, and it is also where Lin Daguan started his career.

However, Officer Lin glanced at the welcoming crowd on the pier and frowned.

The two groups stood on different sides, clearly divided, and seemed to be in conflict.

It's really annoying. The group is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more small internal conflicts.
