The series of debates caused by the "wind and rain" connection seemed to have been awkwardly suspended in that damn mudslide. However, the deep-seated effects it caused were still brewing and fermenting.
The visiting scholars stayed in Nanli for seven days, visited local places of interest, and then had academic exchanges with each other. Then they planned to leave. Tianchang Academy was about to return to its former tranquility.
Before leaving, there must be a farewell commemorative event, but at this time, Lin Fengjin was deeply resented by Deputy Chief Yin, so he was naturally excluded from the farewell list, and was replaced by another somewhat...
The dull but obedient outer disciple took his place.
This kind of thing was expected by Lin Fengjin. At this time, he and Lu Ping were already on the same level, and Lu Ping was at least a talented person. There is no doubt that between a talented person and an older person,
When children have to make an obvious choice between children, it is almost a no-brainer.
Although he said that, Lin Fengjin is still a young man after all, and he will always feel a little disappointed. Walking to the pavilion, he asked Wuxianfu to get some side dishes to go with the wine. Soon, the kitchen was full of food.
It was repaired and sent over.
The wine has been for a long time and is the famous pear blossom white shipped from Guzhou. This wine can only be brewed with the local spring water under Guanwu Peak. It is clear and sweet. If it is boiled and drank, it will have a different flavor.
The sweet fragrance of pear blossoms.
Lin Fengjin also attaches great importance to enjoyment on weekdays, so even though the dishes are hastily prepared, they are quite good.
One of the two cold dishes is peanuts pickled in salt water. The peanuts are red-skinned peanuts that have just been harvested locally. Although they are small, the gap between the peanuts and the shell is extremely tight, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
Another dish is the "boat dice", a small fish that is more than an inch long from the fisherman's net in Qingxi. It is wrapped in gray flour and five-spice powder, and then deep-fried in vegetable oil until golden and crispy. When you bite it, your mouth will be full of oily aroma and crispy.
tasty.
In addition, a cured platter is made of Zhoujia cured pig ears and Gujia pheasant transported from Xiangfan, which are finely cut into shreds and mixed together. After being steamed and heated, it is served oily, fat but not greasy.
.
The last dish of tender lotus root poured with sugar was made from local materials. The tender lotus root was dug out from the lotus pond. After being washed with water, it was crispy, white and tender, like a child's arm. What was clever was that the cook used the heated lotus root.
The lychee honey is poured into the extremely white and tender lotus root joints, and then brought up. When you bite it, the fragrance of the lotus root and the sweetness of the sugar are mixed together. If you don't know, you will have a special surprise.
When Lin Fengjin was three-thirds drunk, the unhappiness in his heart had long been forgotten, and he began to think about his next plan. But at this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked to the right.
At this time, the setting sun has set and the sunset glow has faded, but the sky is still a little bright. The whole world is bathed in a hot and quiet atmosphere. There seems to be wind blowing in the distance, and the lotus leaves in the lotus pond are densely packed.
Really, then waves of undulating green sea formed, pushing and pushing the pink flower buds hidden inside.
Three figures walked briskly along the road next to the lotus pond. Lin Fengjin was very familiar with these three people. Ren Mo, the leader of the disciples of Donglin Academy, and Sun Xiang, the leader of the outer disciples who was proficient in law, also had the opportunity to change.
The unrivaled talent Gu Xian.
When these three people came here, Lin Fengjin couldn't ignore them, so he stood up and walked to the water corridor to welcome the arrival of the three people.
Ren Mo was still very satisfied with Lin Fengjin's behavior. Because it represented a certain degree of respect, and it was a very important respect.
If Lin Fengjin saw them sitting still, then according to the rules at the time, only enemies or very close friends and relatives could enjoy this kind of treatment. If he stood up directly from the wine table without moving,
It means that he does not welcome visitors.
However, after Lin Fengjin stood up and walked out of the pavilion, and the total number of steps he took exceeded seven, he was called a "de-escalation greeting", which was considered very enthusiastic. Of course, he was more respected at home.
You are greeted at the door of your wife, but often only elders or high-ranking officials receive this kind of treatment.
This was the unspoken rule of the literati at that time, and there were even more unspoken rules in the officialdom. The most famous one is the allusion of "serving tea to see guests off". When talking to your boss about things, no matter how enthusiastic you are, if he picks up the teacup
Inviting you to tea means that you should get out of here and don’t waste my time having sex with my concubine. Then you have to leave immediately, otherwise, there will be no next time.
If you are in this circle, you have to adapt to the rules of this circle, otherwise, it will be difficult to move forward.
Before Lin Fengjin could speak when he came out, Ren Mo had already smiled and said:
"This time I am visiting Tianchang Academy. I have been bothering Lin Xiandi's house for so long. I am grateful for your warm reception. I will be leaving tomorrow, so I came here to express my gratitude."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"You're welcome, I'm just a little worried that I didn't treat you well."!
Ren Mo smiled and said:
"Where, where."
While speaking, Lin Fengjin had already let the third son into the pavilion, then called the servants to remove the leftover cold dishes and put a new table of food and wine. However, the third son Dong Lin looked at the couplet and sighed with emotion.
After talking for a while, he was naturally embarrassed to say that his handwriting was ugly in front of Lin Fengjin, but his words were teasing Lin Fengjin, and continued to ask about the origin of the couplet.
But Lin Fengjin had already entered the state of transformation by pretending to be crazy and stupid. The three people went around and asked, but in the end they found that they had talked a lot of nonsense over and over again, and they could only smile bitterly. Then Ren Mo coughed and faced Lin Fengjin
I sincerely said:
"Actually, I have a merciless request when I come here. I want to ask brother Lin Xian to fulfill it. However, this request is a bit unpopular, so it is difficult to say it."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"It's easy to talk about. It's easy to talk about. Brother Ren, please tell me."
Ren Mo hesitated and said:
"That couplet of wind and rain really captured the essence of our Donglin Academy, so we all suspected that it was written by a reclusive senior from Donglin. However, according to Brother Lin, this couplet appeared in the world for the first time.
It was in Guangji Temple, but Guangji Temple had been destroyed by natural disasters. Therefore, this waterside pavilion of Lin Xiandi became the place where this couplet appeared for the first time. Therefore, in response to the entrustment of the elder of the sect,
We would like to take this pair of couplets away in case the academy teachers inquire."
This pair of couplets was written on the pillars of the pavilion. Lin Fengjin wrote it himself after deciding the plan, and asked Wuxian Fu to find seven or eight carpenters to carve it in temporarily. Anyway, there is no need to pay attention to the ugly handwriting.
The carving is done well, because the surface is painted, so a layman can't tell that it was done just now.
Ren Mo's intention was to demolish the pavilion and take away the pillars. Then of course it is not difficult to find out that the threshold couplets are a new secret, but this secret is not a big deal. Lin Fengjin disagreed, but inherited
Mr. Lin's traitorous businessman nature broke out at this moment, but he pondered and showed a look of embarrassment.
At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded from above the pavilion:
"You are so stingy as a junior. How can I, an old man, take your things for nothing?"
Before he finished speaking, a gray figure suddenly came down from the top of the pavilion. Lin Fengjin only felt that his eyes were blurred. There was actually an extra person sitting in front of the banquet! This old man was none other than someone else.
It’s Ruan Xian, the most affectionate scholar from Donglin Academy!
He didn't know when he came! You know, the view here is wide and the fields of lotus leaves cover several kilometers. To get to this pavilion, you can only come from the water pavilion! What's more, the sky is still very bright at this time, and even the sky is hovering
The lone owl among them could also be seen clearly, but Lin Fengjin didn't even notice the old man approaching, let alone when he took shelter on the pavilion.
Ruan Xian sat at the same table with a group of juniors, but he showed no hesitation. He picked up the wine pot and took a few sips directly to the spout as if no one else was watching. He then sighed and praised:
"Fifteen-year-old pear blossom white is very rare to get here."
Then he picked up a honey-filled lotus root, took a bite, and praised:
“It’s natural and has its own local flavor, which is great!”
Lin Fengjin saw Ruan Xian's behavior, but didn't take it seriously and smiled:
"If you like it, sir, you might as well use more of it."
Ruan Xian rolled his eyes strangely and said:
"I want to know how to eat it if I like it. I don't need you to persuade me. What? I want this pair of couplets from you. Can you take them apart?"
Lin Fengjin smiled bitterly and said:
"Originally, this thing is not worth much money if it is dismantled, let alone an elder who has a life, how dare he resign? However, although the words on this couplet are unsightly in the eyes of everyone, it is a rare peak for me.
This is a masterpiece. It was originally intended to be kept as a souvenir and to be passed on to future generations."
After listening to Lin Fengjin's words, Ren Mo and others really couldn't bear to laugh and bear it too hard. Seeing that Lin Fengjin's bad words were like a dog crawling, he actually used "peak essence" to describe it, and even more "passion"
Give it to your descendants!" Gu Xian thought to himself that if your calligraphy can be passed down from generation to generation, wouldn't my calligraphy be used and worshiped by scholars all over the world every day?
After hearing what Lin Fengjin said, Ruan Xian took another sip of wine and said cheerfully:
"You are a slippery boy, just like a loach. It's really not easy for you to suffer some losses. Let's do this. I drank a few glasses of wine from you today and ate your food, so I gave you some kind words.
sentence."
Lin Fengjin said happily:
"Senior, please clarify."
Ruan Xian was chewing a pig's hand that was red and bright red. After listening to Lin Fengjin's words, he rolled his eyes strangely, wiped the greasy hand on his linen robe, and then put his hand
Foolish! I don’t know what happened, Lin Fengjin’s eyes were dazzled, and he suddenly sat down next to Ruan Xian with a stool!
