Yin Qingyue was obviously aware of this, coughed, and said to Lu Pingwen:
"Although the academy requires you to study more classics and do more practical work, the Six Arts of a Gentleman are also compulsory. Since you are talented in writing lyrics and writing lyrics, why do you need to hide it?"
After Lu Ping heard this, he became even more confused and said in amazement:
"I¨.I am one¨"
His astonished expression fell into the eyes of everyone, and they felt that it was extremely realistic. Deputy Chief Yin laughed and said:
"Lu Ping, you really know the way of a gentleman to humble himself. It was hard to hide it from us before, but now it's too late. Lin Fengjin has already told you everything. You made this stormy couplet while drinking with him."
!”
"I made this couplet when I was drinking with him??" Lu Ping repeated blankly. The couplet was the most popular topic in Tianchang Academy at this time, how could Lu Ping not know about it?
Being petty-minded, he even secretly thought about how great it would be if he wrote this couplet! Unexpectedly, his wish came true and a huge pie fell from the sky!!
At this time, Lu Ping looked at the envious gazes around him, and the owner of those gazes was the target he wanted to look up to! For a moment, he was confused and fascinated, and he nodded in recognition.
Fortunately, as Gu Xian said, this person still had the talent to lift people up after all. So just when he was about to admit it, he suddenly thought of a crucial thing, that is, he had nothing to do with this couplet. Lin Fengjin
Why should you push this good thing to yourself?
Next, Lu Ping immediately thought that if he nodded in agreement, then he would definitely be among the ranks that must be invited to various literary associations. Various examinations and difficulties would appear in endlessly, making it difficult to guard against. When he thought of this, he
Had a shiver.
But the prestige and glory that I dreamed of in the past are just placed in front of me and I just nod my head! It’s really hard to make a decision!
Lu Ping had a gentle temperament, so he stood where he was, fighting between heaven and man for a long time in his heart, and finally sighed with difficulty and said with difficulty:
"I have never had a drink with Lin Fengjin at all. This couplet was not written by me."
Hearing these words, Lin Fengjin sighed secretly, and his thoughts did not trick him. If Lu Ping had admitted it at that time, his reputation would have been ruined in just a few seconds! Because he had said it before, and he heard it at a banquet.
This couplet came to me, and according to the relationship between Lu Ping and Lin Fengjin, it is absolutely impossible for two people to sit together and drink alone! That means there must be other people next to them! As long as others ask deeply, where can Lu Ping be found?
The rest of the people will cover this lie for him?
After hearing Lu Ping's answer, everyone was immediately in an uproar, but many people looked at Lu Ping with a bit of contempt, because the way of a gentleman lies in sincerity, that is, the magnanimity and decisiveness of knowing what you know and not knowing what you don't know.
If Lu Ping had come up and categorically denied it, many people would have looked down upon him. But this person hesitated for a long time before denying it with difficulty. It was obvious that he wanted to pretend to be false! Such behavior would not be tolerated in the eyes of many people.
There is no room for the idea of sand in it.
Yin Qingyue obviously did not expect that Lu Ping would deny it, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Therefore, he refused to give up and said sternly: "Lu Ping, this matter is related to the face of the academy! This is not the time to resign, so don't take it yourself.
error!"
Lu Ping sighed and said:
"Shan Chief is indeed not my fault."
Yin Qingyue took a deep breath and said with a livid face:
"Lin Fengjin! Where is Lin Fengjin!!"
A book boy came over and whispered to him with a strange expression:
"Senior Brother Lin just said that he had a bad stomach after eating in the morning, and he went to court again to complain."
"..." Yin Qingyue's full belly of anger could not find a place to vent for a while! And here, with all the heroes gathered together, he could not be rude in the slightest, so he could only swallow it alive.
The rest of the people saw the unexpected turn of events and found it even more interesting. Not to mention that the origin of the "Wind and Rain" couplet was unknown, and the rest of them were just a group of scholars and scholars from Donglin Academy. If they didn't know the truth, they might really be dead.
Close your eyes!
However, the current situation is also funny. A group of young talents and old scholars gathered together, but they were not holding any literary meeting or leaving behind some masterpieces. They were waiting for the birth of a seventeen-year-old boy! Weird.
Yes, no one is planning to leave yet, but there are more and more people.
Don't tell anyone about this situation. Even if someone told them a day ago that this would happen to them, they would probably be slapped in the face and told to get away as far as they could.
After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, just when Chief Yin Shan wanted to call someone to find Lin Fengjin, this guy finally arrived belatedly.
After opening the door, Lin Fengjin was obviously mentally prepared, but he still had an innocent look of astonishment on his face. Just as he was about to speak, Deputy Chief Yin had already shouted angrily:
"Lin Fengjin!! You said that the wind and rain couplet was made by Lu Ping when he and you were drinking, but now Lu Ping is denying it here. What do you say!!"
Facing the deputy mountain chief's angry shouts, Lin Fengjin let out a sigh and asked Lu Ping:
"You really didn't write it?"
How could Lu Ping not know at this time that Lin Fengjin was deliberately trying to punish him? He said with a sullen face:
"Lu is not that talented."
Lin Fengjin sighed, then smiled apologetically at Deputy Chief Yin:
"Chief, I think the student got drunk and mistakenly admitted the wrong person..."
Lin Fengjin's answer immediately triggered a burst of laughter in the audience. Although it was suppressed, it was very obvious. Yin Qingyue's eyes darkened. If he didn't have to take dignity in front of so many guests, he might have invited everyone at this time.
Ruler, family law! He gritted his teeth and said:
"How can you admit the wrong person in this kind of thing?"
Lin Fengjin said in confusion:
"Shan Zhang, it's just a couplet, and I'm drunk. What's the fuss?"
After hearing this, Yin Qingyue became even more angry and wanted to speak, but she heard Lin Fengjin say sadly:
"Besides, students' memory is never very good, otherwise why would they be admitted to the Tongsheng Examination at the age of seventeen?"
Deputy Chief Yin suddenly felt that he had almost nothing to say! Did he originally want to scold Lin Fengjin for being an idiot? How could anyone talk about their shame every day?
But Lin Fengjin himself admitted that he was indeed very stupid - otherwise, how could he have become enlightened at the age of seventeen? But since he had desecrated himself first, there would be no threat to others who wanted to use this to attack him.
But at this time, a person appeared in time and finally saved Deputy Chief Yin Qingyue from the edge of losing his temper. The upright principal of Tianchang Academy Shen arrived and finally came here. Since he is here, the rest of the people will naturally
It can only take a back seat.
Shen Dao is a hale and hearty old man. Although Tianchang Academy is not well-known, Shen Dao's reputation has never faded. During his tenure as the headmaster of Tianchang Academy, he successively wrote "Asking the Dharma" and "On Ancient Times". "Laws" and other works were published, which even influenced the revision of criminal laws in various countries. He is called a great master. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is famous all over the world.
At this time, Shen Dao looked at Lin Fengjin for a long time, but said kindly:
"I heard your conversation just now, and I agree with what you said, but now do you think of the person who wrote Wind and Rain Couplet?"
Lin Fengjin continued to say simply:
"I really didn't write it. I remembered that the person I was drinking with was not Lu Ping, but Wang Tie. I heard it from his mouth."
Shen Dao smiled slightly and said:
"Who is Wang Tie and where is he at this time?"
Lin Fengjin said happily:
"He has just collected several hundred kilograms of lychees from Canggui countryside and is resting at home."
Everyone started to make an uproar. This Wang Tienai was a businessman!! And he seemed to be a servant of Lin Fengjin's family. How could he make a couplet? Then they started making noises and said that they would invite him to come for a while.
Shanchang Shen looked at Lin Fengjin and said kindly:
"Then can you ask Mr. Wang Tie to come here?"
Lin Fengjin said:
"no problem."
So soon, Wang Tie came to the scene as a special guest. After listening to the inquiry, the man who looked like a rough man also said readily:
"I was smuggling goods to Chuting in Guangnan half a month ago. When I passed by Guangji Temple, I stayed overnight in the temple. I saw this couplet on the white screen wall of Xiangji Kitchen (the dining hall of the temple). The ink was very new. , it looks like it was written just now.”
Everyone was immediately stunned. This is an unproven answer! Why did the people who attacked the Academy and the people from Wude Academy return halfway? It was because the mudslide caused by the heavy rain washed away the road to Chuting. And. It is very unfortunate that Guangji Temple was destroyed in that mudslide, and the matter was widely rumored along the way:
Some people say that the bald donkey in the temple was punished by the Buddha for not obeying the rules and regulations. Some people say that the strange sound that sounded like a dragon's roar was heard that night, which was the arrival of the Dragon King. Some people also say that there is actually a suppression under the Guangji Temple. He killed a demon and escaped during a thunderstorm.
But no matter how diverse the reasons for the destruction of the temple are, there is only one fact: Guangji Temple was destroyed. Then what Wang Tie said he saw on the Baizhao wall: whether there is a couplet of wind and rain, has been buried in it ever since. Under thousands of tons of soil and gravel.
Yes, this is Lin Fengjin's careful arrangement, using an unsubstantiated excuse to cover up possible troubles. However, no matter what, as long as someone mentions this famous couplet, they will inevitably mention Lin Fengjin. Feng Jin's name means that Lin Feng Jin does not have to bear those tedious sequelae, but also allows his reputation to rise slightly.
Of course, his approach has a deeper meaning, but it should be used as a trump card. If Lin Fengjin uses it rashly now, he will really hurt others and himself, so Lin Fengjin would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
