The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

In order to save his son, Wen Yuanfa and several literary figures 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, and Wen Yuanfa still hadn't come out.

The rest of the Wen family were a little panicked, but no one dared to go to the Lin Mansion anymore for fear of becoming a meat bun and beating a dog.

So Wen Yuanfa's younger brother Wen Yuanshan went to find the last hope, which was Shen Yongjia, the second master of the Shen family.

Mr. Shen, who had woken up from his nap, was quite surprised when he heard Wen Yuanshan begging to see him. How much trouble had the Wen family encountered that they actually came to ask for help?

In the heart of Mr. Shen, a temperamental person, he still dislikes seeing the Wen family. There are two reasons for this.

First, his father, the first assistant, took care of the celebrities in his hometown and turned Wen Yuanfa, who had no fame, into a full-fledged Tongzhi.

As a result, Wen Yuanfa was not very grateful and resigned abjectly. This made Mr. Shen feel very unhappy and felt that his father's face had been ruined.

The second is that the Wen family, as half of Suzhou's literary world, has never played with Second Master Shen, or in other words, Second Master Shen has not been able to integrate into it.

If not for this, Mr. Shen would not have joined the Update Society without hesitation, which was considered a deviant in the eyes of others.

The Wen family also knew that Second Master Shen had resentment towards the Wen family, and would really not want to come to Second Master Shen for help unless they had no choice.

But the situation is like this. If you want to get people out of the Lin Mansion now, only Mr. Shen in the entire Suzhou City can do it.

"Let me go and have a look!" Second Master Shen did not say yes or no, and his tone was a bit like watching the fun.

Mr. Shen walked south along Wolong Street and Jiuyuan Street, and then passed through two large stone archways, Wenwu and Wu, before arriving at Canglang Pavilion Lin Mansion.

From the gate, we were taken directly to the flower hall where we were receiving guests, and we saw that there were fine wines and delicacies on display, accompanied by seven or eight beauties.

Second Master Shen subconsciously shouted: "You are in this wine pond and meat forest, but you don't call me!"

But there was no response. Only then did Second Master Shen notice that everyone at the table was languid and sleepy, their eyes were lifeless, and they were shaky in their seats. How could they still have the energy to reply?

Wen Yuanfa, the missing head of the family that the Wen family is looking for, is also here.

Then Mr. Shen said to Lin Tai who was sitting in the chair: "The Wen family came to me and said that you arrested Wen Yuanfa and several old gentlemen."

"That's nonsense!" Lin Tailai refuted: "I represented Suzhou and won the literary championship, and several old gentlemen in the literary world celebrated me together. Isn't this reasonable?

Are these delicious foods, fine wines, and beauties all fake? It’s normal to stay up all night when the mood strikes, right? "

Zhang Youyu used his last strength to shout: "It's already changed to the third set, my old bones can't bear it anymore!"

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

Second Master Shen stood in the middle and each said a few words of advice. The old gentlemen are not young anymore, so don't risk your life.

"Promise, all agreed! If you want to be the leader of the Suzhou Alliance, then you can!" Wen Yuanfa, the head of the Wen family, stood up unsteadily: "I want to go home now!"

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

"No problem! I'll send a guy to see you off!" Lin Tailai responded.

"Wen Yuanfa!" Wang Zhideng, now the world's number one civilian poet and the leader of Suzhou's local literary circle, became anxious and shouted out Wen Yuanfa's name.

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

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

My father and I have been through hundreds of battles for more than ten years, so we can keep our position as leader of the alliance intact!

But today you discard it like dirt and give it away to outsiders. Are you worthy of your Majesty and your ancestors? "

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

Lin Tailai: ""

This condition was proposed quite suddenly, catching Lin Daguan off guard.

It can only be said that the Wen family's long-lasting influence in the Suzhou literary world for several generations is still a bit "strategic".

"Wen Yuanfa!" Wang Zhideng called him by his name again, strongly expressing his anger!

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

After Lin Tailai thought for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay!"

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

But this time Lin Tailai flatly refused: "I want to keep this in my hands to see the effects!"

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

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

The two old brothers stayed with Wen Yuanfa and Wang Laoden for a day and a night, and finally they were relieved.

Only Wang Zhideng was devastated, as if he was the only one injured in the end?

As a close disciple of Mr. Wen Hengshan, he had protected the Wen family for three generations, but in the blink of an eye he became the abandoned son of the Wen family?

Also, if he did not have the title of leader of Suzhou's local literary circle and lost the right to comment on famous flowers, would beauties in the flower world still treat him warmly in the future?

Wang Zhideng was immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate himself when he suddenly heard someone laughing wildly. He raised his eyes and saw who it was if it wasn't his old enemy Zhang Youyu?

"Hahahaha! Wang Laodeng! You are here too! More than ten years ago, I never fought against 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 title belongs to me will be 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 romantic and talented man 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 strong support of half of the literary family, Zhang Fengyi, a person with vast connections, coupled with Lin Tailai's nine-yuan 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 Canglangting Lin Mansion is just a temporary place for you to stay. 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 even greater than that of the prefect.

The eye-catching Shenwei Lieshui was renovated 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 each side, 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.
