The city of Suzhou, which was extremely noisy and lively in March, suddenly calmed down in the second half of the year.
The main reason is that the person who has repeatedly contributed to hot topics has been staying away from home recently.
Don't get me wrong, this sentence is talking about Wang Shizhen, the leader of the world literary world.
Under the mediation of Wen Zhengming's grandson Wen Yuanfa, leader Wang finally met with the Second Young Master Shen Yongjiashen.
Originally, the Second Young Master Shen, upholding the arrogance of Young Master Zaifu, did not want to condescend to go to Gusu Station to "meet" the old leader Wang, with whom he had no friendship.
However, Wen Yuanfa advised that the old leader Wang was a senior after all, and he was currently ill and could not move easily, so it was impossible for the old leader Wang to visit the younger generation in the Shen Mansion.
Therefore, the Second Young Master Shen came to Gusuyi and had a friendly and frank exchange with the old leader Wang in the study, and exchanged views on the recent situation in Suzhou City.
Wen Yuanfa was very smart and did not participate in the talks, but only brokered the meeting.
After introducing Mr. Wang and Mr. Shen to each other, Wen Yuanfa left the study and only enjoyed the flowers and drank tea on the porch.
I don't know how much time passed, but when I saw Mr. Shen coming out of the study, Wen Yuanfa stepped forward and asked, "How was the discussion?"
Shen Yongjia said unhappily: "Dangzhou Duke spent half the time talking about Lin Tailai when he was talking to me!
Could it be that he was only willing to take time to talk to me because of Lin Tailai?"
Wen Yuanfa smiled bitterly and explained: "Senior Wang has really been worried about Lin Tailai recently. You are a junior, so please forgive me."
The Second Young Master Shen was still very concerned and complained: "Now I simply doubt that if it weren't for Lin Tailai, the Duke of Yanzhou might not even be interested in contacting me!"
Regarding this situation, Second Young Master Shen didn't know whether to scold Old Leader Wang or Lin Tailai.
Wen Yuanfa didn't want to obviously favor anyone, so he changed the subject and asked: "Senior Wang, has he ever encouraged you?"
Shen Yongjia had nothing to hide from Wen Yuanfa, so Shen Yongjia said truthfully: "The Duke of Yanzhou indeed said that I can be selected as one of the new five sons!"
For a young man in his early twenties, the temptation of this condition is not small, even if he is a prime minister.
This is how you become famous all over the world in one fell swoop and move directly into the forefront of the literary world!
Of course, if you want this vanity, you must do something, such as helping the old leader Wang get rid of his inner demons.
After Wen Yuan asked this question, he stopped talking.
How others weigh gains and losses and make decisions is their own business and has nothing to do with them.
After walking out of Gusu Yi, Second Master Shen suddenly asked Wen Yuan: "I heard that there is a Wulong Teahouse that has become famous in the literary world recently. Is it located nearby?"
Wen Yuanfa pointed in the direction, "It's just over there, just two or three hundred steps away."
The Second Young Master Shen said goodbye to Wen Yuanfa and went to Wulong Tea House on his own.
Come on, come and take a look!
It was easy to find the teahouse, and Gao Changjiang was found in the teahouse.
But Second Young Master Shen frowned. Why did this man get drunk in broad daylight?
From top to bottom, the style of this association is too bad!
So Second Young Master Shen stepped forward and asked, "Where is your master?"
It's not that Gao Changjiang's style is bad, just before yesterday, he was a passionate person who thought wholeheartedly about the great cause of the society.
But at this time, his ideals were disillusioned and he just wanted to use alcohol to anesthetize himself.
When someone asked, Gao Changjiang raised his head and replied, "Everyone knows that he is at Sun Lianlian's house in Qujiaqiao!"
Second Young Master Shen asked again: "What has he been doing recently?"
Gao Changjiang replied drunkenly: "You know what you're asking, what else can you do? Of course it's Sun Lianlian!"
Second Young Master Shen: "."
When I saw Professor Lin's men that night, I felt that they were a very energetic group. But today, why was this legendary military advisor so arrogant and his words so vulgar?
"I asked what was done, not who was done!" Second Young Master Shen scolded.
Gao Changjiang replied: "Then we are preparing for the county examination."
Second Young Master Shen was speechless. You guys vowed to uphold justice and fight against rebellion, and how about supporting Shen and eradicating traitors?
The slogans were shouted loudly, but this is the result?
The more he asked, the angrier he became. Second Young Master Shen shouted again: "I have spoken, but why hasn't he come to see me for several days?
I know you want to borrow the Shen family's banner, but don't say I didn't give you a chance, it's because you don't cherish it!
Do you think that Alliance Leader Wang will not come to win over the Shen family?"
Having said this, Gao Changjiang was speechless because his poor performance in recent days left him with no way to defend himself.
Originally, the Second Young Master Shen had no friendship with the old leader Wang, so this was an opportunity to sit in the palace, but now he was pushed away by the sitting palace!
After Shen Yongjia finished speaking, he turned around and left. He felt that these people from the bottom society were really muddy and couldn't stick to the wall!
I originally hoped that Lin Tailai could actually make some achievements and help the Shen family gain momentum, but it seemed like it was all in vain.
On the other side, the old alliance leader Wang can at least give himself the vanity of a "new five sons"!
But an ordinary subordinate next to Gao Changjiang suddenly said:
"Today's cultural forum is about to begin. Mr. Shen, why don't you sit down and listen?"
Gao Changjiang looked at this subordinate in astonishment, is there any place for you to interrupt here?
Then the subordinate ignored Gao Changjiang and added to Shen Yongjia:
"When we were sitting in the hall, we also said that whenever Mr. Shen comes over, Mr. Gao will tell a story specifically for Mr. Shen.
If Mr. Shen refuses to listen, it will be Mr. Shen's loss and there is no need to force it.
But please ask Mr. Shen to hide his identity and sit in the corner to listen."
This rhetoric aroused Shen Yongjia's temper, so he sat in the corner with a strong sword.
He would like to know if there is any content that if you don’t listen, you will lose!
Gao Changjiang stared at this subordinate: "What do you mean?"
The subordinate smiled and took out a piece of manuscript and handed it to Gao Changjiang:
"I told you when I was here that as soon as Second Master Shen shows up, I'll talk about this!"
Gao Changjiang felt extremely sad and angry. In his mind, was he worse than this subordinate?
Regarding confidential information, do you still need this subordinate to choose the right time to inform you?
Or is this subordinate responsible for monitoring him? Is this something Lu Fengxian can do?
After today’s talk, I’m quitting! Resign!
After that, some scholars came in, and the tables in front of the forum were almost full.
The big forum is held three times a day, and the content is the same. Everyone can choose a time that is convenient for them to come and listen.
After finishing his psychological preparation, Gao Changjiang said on the podium: "Today I will predict the candidates for the new five talents in the literary world. They are definitely the most accurate in Suzhou!"
Someone shouted below: "Didn't I mention it yesterday? Why are you repeating it today?"
Someone else shouted: "The prediction you swore yesterday must be that Li Weizhen, Xing Dong, Wang Zhideng, Hu Yinglin, and Feng Shike will be the new five sons!"
Everyone is very convinced of Gao Changjiang's five-person list predicted yesterday.
These five people are each representative, each person can represent a region and a group, and each person has an inextricable relationship with the leader Wang and Lao.
Li Weizhen is from Jingchu, Xing Dong is from the north, Wang Zhideng is a native of Suzhou and from Jiabuyishan, and Hu Yinglin is from Zhejiang and adds literary criticism.
As for Feng Shike, he is not only a representative of the communicative celebrity, but also a symbol of loyalty.
In recent years, Master Feng has contributed a lot of money and efforts to the retro school, and he has also funded many retro literati.
Gao Changjiang took a picture of Xingmu and said again: "But the situation has changed today, so my prediction list will also change!"
Scholars from Wu Di have always been famous for being cunning and frivolous. They are not afraid of trouble. If they go crazy, they would even dare to smash the Yamen, let alone Gao Changjiang.
He immediately laughed and said: "Who are you fooling! You only change the list once a day, and it counts as one lecture?
By doing this, Gao Changjiang, are you trying to defraud us of our tea money?"
Gao Changjiang turned a deaf ear to the ridicule and only explained: "Today's situation is different!
I boldly predict that Yunjian Feng Shike will be removed and replaced by the second master of our Suzhou Shen Mansion!"
The previously noisy scholars stopped making noise, slapped the table and shouted: "This is interesting!"
The identity of the Second Master of Shen Mansion, the chief assistant son, was too sensitive, and it immediately aroused everyone's discussion.
Someone said: "It turned out that the dignified leader of the literary world also wanted to follow the trend and flatter the prime minister!"
Someone calmly analyzed: "Among the previously predicted new five sons, Hu Yinglin and Xing Tong, the youngest ones, have also worked hard in the literary world for more than ten years!
Shen Yongjia is in his early twenties and is unknown in the literary world. How can He De be ranked among the new five sons?"
Others suddenly became angry: "Power, this is power! People with power can take shortcuts and come from behind!"
Some even said unfairly: "Feng Shike was a loyal man and never left his teacher Zhang Jiangling, which is why he resigned!"
Over the years, Feng Shike has worked hard for the retro school, and he has worked hard without any credit. He has benefited from countless literati, which is a timely blessing for the literary world!
If the old alliance leader ostracizes Feng Shike just to please the chief assistant, it would be very chilling!"
Some people questioned very bitterly: "Isn't this a repeat of the past when the old alliance leader expelled Xie Zhen?"
Under the cover of the house slave, Shen Yongjia, who was hiding in the corner, listened to the discussion in the court, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
Although he had little experience in dealing with people, his IQ was not a problem and he understood it immediately.
Lin Tailai asked himself to sit here, not to let himself listen to some big forum, but to let himself listen to other people's discussions!
All the comments are negative, each one more harsh than the last!
Bang! Shen Yongjia couldn't listen anymore and started to slap the case from the corner.
Then he shouted to Gao Changjiang: "Where is Lin Tailai? I'm going to tear him apart!"
Gao Changjiang was very surprised. Are you, Mr. Shen, angry and confused?
As I said just now, I sat at Sun Mei's house in Qujiaqiao and indulged in drinking and sex for several days.
Shen Yongjia and his servants walked out of the teahouse angrily and went into the city to find Lin Tailai.
The group of people who had been talking loudly just now watched the Second Master Shen leave in stunned silence. Some people already recognized who this young master was.
When they came back to their senses, they all yelled at Gao Changjiang, and the scene was extremely chaotic!
This bad guy surnamed Gao definitely did it on purpose. He deliberately arranged for Second Master Shen to eavesdrop on their discussion in secret!
In the future, my career will be in doubt. If it is not possible, I might as well transform myself into a Confucian businessman as soon as possible!
Although tea was poured on him, Gao Changjiang was neither sad nor happy. He only had one thought in his mind: resign! I want to resign!
Still looking for the status, there will be more tonight
