After letting Mr. Xu in, whom he hadn't seen for a while, Mr. Lin asked casually:
"Why did Lao Xu come suddenly and didn't send a greeting in advance? If I weren't in the hall, wouldn't it be that you ran away in vain?"
Xu Yuanjing snorted coldly. A month and a half ago, Mr. Lin called himself "general manager", but today he just called him Lao Xu.
But there is business today, Mr. Xu will not care about these etiquettes!
Then he said: "Mr. Zhang Youyu stayed at Li Pianpian's house in Leqiao, which is fifth on the flower list, for two consecutive nights last night."
"This old gentleman is half a century old, but he has such good physical strength!" Lin Daguan said in surprise, and then asked: "But what does this have to do with me?"
Mr. Xu said angrily: "He refused to pay! Then he said, I can just settle the bill with you!"
Lin Tailai was speechless and repeated: "What does this have to do with me!"
Manager Xu said: "He said that you are his student now! Just give you the bill, and consider it as a gift to become a disciple!"
Lin Daguan slapped the case and said: "Don't talk nonsense! When did I become his disciple?"
Manager Xu replied: "Even I know that you have agreed before that as long as you pass the scholar examination, you will worship Zhang Youyu as your Confucian teacher!"
Lin Tailai said angrily: "The one we agreed on should be Wen Xiucai, at least it will be next year, and he may not be able to pass the exam!"
"Wu Xiucai is also a scholar. Anyway, Mr. Zhang Youyu has unilaterally fulfilled the agreement and recognized the teacher-student relationship!"
"You're being unreasonable!" Lin Tailai couldn't help but scolded. He didn't expect that a PoWuSheng member could cause him such trouble.
Manager Xu was also willing to go all out, and said with a pinched neck: "If all the teachers and students are like you, who always refuse to pay, then this business will be impossible! Why don't you just beat me to death!"
As the saying goes, those who are violent are afraid of those who are stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. If the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?
Lin Tailai glared at Manager Xu, not thinking of a new excuse for a moment.
Manager Xu took the opportunity to say again: "Actually, it's not that there is no solution, just listen to me.
You take Li Pianpian to stay at Taohua Temple for three days, of course you won't be charged any money, and then prepare a set of no less than five combined poems.
I will arrange for a few second- and third-rate celebrities to go to Peach Blossom Temple to compete with you and be jealous."
Lin Tailai: "."
When I didn't become famous, I looked forward to free money every day.
Now that I have taken the initiative to arrange free projects for myself, why do I feel that it is no longer interesting?
Manager Xu said bewilderedly: "This is a win-win situation, the best of both worlds. Why do you have any hesitation?"
After Lin Daguan came to his senses, he thought to himself, Mr. Xu was actually willing to bring out the beauty who ranked fifth on the flower list to jointly promote it with him?
Then he asked very expectantly: "Can Li Pianpian be replaced by Bai Zhuangyuan?"
Manager Xu responded without thinking: "No."
"Then there's no need to talk, let's see the guests off!" Lin Tailai brought the tea.
Before leaving, Manager Xu said: "Master Lin, please consider it carefully. I will come back to visit you in a few days!"
Otherwise, pay the debt for Zhang Youyu! These two nights, he drank the best wines and ate all the rare delicacies from land and sea!"
Watching Xu Yuanjing's back, Lin Tailai sighed inwardly, finally understanding why Fan Jin was so lively after winning the exam in the book.
He was only one of the lowest-ranking martial arts members, so he got into all kinds of inexplicable ties.
Official Lin was deep in thought when Zhang Wen, the protector on the left, looked in the direction of the gate and shouted: "Military Commander Gao is back!"
Gao Changjiang walked into the hall with a red face and reported directly:
"Sit down! The old lady is calling you to go home for dinner! A member of your Lin family is getting married, so I want you to serve the meal!"
According to the custom, when encountering such a happy wedding banquet, a scholar should be invited to sit at the head table to support the host's family.
Although Lin Daguan is not a serious scholar, he is the first to join the military service and is a member of the martial arts department, which is enough for him to return to the village and sit at the top table.
After accepting his father's instructions, it was impossible for Lin Daguan to refuse his father's orders, so he just followed them.
Then he slapped the case again and said: "Gao Changjiang! You haven't realized your crime of dereliction of duty?"
Then he pointed to the paper ball on the ground and said: "Nowadays, all the poems circulating outside are distorted about me, but my positive energy poems have not been spread and spread in time!
It's all because you left your post without authorization and left the cultural forum of Wulong Tea Room at the critical moment, which caused the public opinion to get out of control!"
Zhang Dalang, the Zuo protector, sighed and said: "Old Gao, there is nothing wrong with you trying to curry favor with the old lady, but you can't delay your own work.
If you really have no intention of doing this, you might as well let me take over as the military advisor."
Gao Changjiang quickly shouted: "No! Please sit down and give me another chance. I will make up for it next time!"
Lin Tailai snorted coldly: "Things are already like this, how can you make up for it?"
Gao Changjiang patted his chest and promised: "Please sit down and publish some poems about this martial arts exam!
I will definitely promote it next time to outweigh those poems that distort the facts!"
Lin Tailai thought about it and realized that as a poet, he should indeed write a poem to commemorate it. It would be abnormal not to write a poem when encountering a happy event.
So he naturally entered the state of writing poetry and said to himself: "Which one should I use?
The husband holds the Wu hook with only one hand, and his spirit is higher than that of a hundred-foot building. Whoever has made history in the past ten thousand years wants to be named a marquis from three thousand miles away."
Gao Changjiang asked carefully: "Isn't this song a bit too big? It's just a martial arts student, not a martial arts champion."
Lin Tailai changed his words again: "Then let's change it to this quatrain, the title is A Romance of Martial Arts!
The plan to join the army in the extreme region is in vain, and the hatred in the southeast is full of words and notes. With one flute and one sword, the business is settled, and the reputation has been ruined for fifteen years!"
"Okay!" Gao Changjiang shouted: "The plan to join the army in the extreme area is hopeless, this sentence is suitable for martial arts!
The deep hatred in the southeast is full of lyrics. This sentence is in line with the status of a famous poet in the library, so it is very appropriate!
It has been fifteen years since he gained the reputation of being crazy, and it has been almost fifteen years since he was sitting in a restaurant and was ignorant of remembering things.
And this sentence is very suitable for the temperament of sitting in the restaurant. After all, Zhang Dianlin is crazy and now he is quite famous."
Then he asked: "It is the Xiao and Sword in this poem that does not fit the situation of sitting in the pavilion. Do I need to change it?"
Lin Tailai said helplessly: "How to change it? My whip and gun don't have flute or sword arts, and they are not up to par!"
So that’s it, art must allow for some fiction, and it’s enough to accurately reflect my voice as the author.”
Then Lin Tailai stood up and said: "I'm going back to the countryside! I'll leave the promotion to you!
If this poem is not popular when I come back, you are the only one to ask!"
Gao Changjiang vowed: "I would like to issue a military order to ensure that this poem will be popular throughout the city when I sit in the palace and return to the city!"
Seeing Gao Changjiang's confident look, Lin Daguan couldn't help but become suspicious, "Why do I think I'm going to be tricked by you again?"
Gao Changjiang replied sadly and angrily: "I am a person who is dedicated to the community. Although he occasionally neglects his duties, how can he be cheated?
After all, I have been busy with various exams in the past month and have not shown anything in literature.
Therefore, this poem must be popular and continue the literary reputation of Zuiguan!
And this poem is indeed very good, and it even has the potential to become a representative work in the museum!"
Although Lin Daguan was still dubious, he could not say anything else and could only believe Gao Changjiang.
Later, Lin Daguan boarded the Shenwei Lieshui for a trip and followed his father's orders to return to the countryside to "serve the table".
Of course, we have to spend the night in Hengtang Town first tonight to pay the grain dues.
Huang Xiaomei still lives with Mr. Tang and his wife, but she has already moved to a larger house.
After handing over the food, Lin Tailai was still not sleepy, so he sat on a deck chair in the courtyard and chatted with Old Man Tang.
Old Man Tang suddenly begged: "Zituan! I have something I want to ask Zuotuan to do!"
Lin Tailai said in surprise: "What is so serious? Whose young lady have you fallen in love with?"
Old Tang looked ashamed and said, "My uncle Tang Liuru is actually buried outside Hengtang Town!"
Lin Tailai was really surprised, "Why didn't you tell me earlier and let me go and worship you?"
Old Man Tang replied: "Although uncle Liuru adopted a son, now he only has his grandson and a widow as his descendants. Life is difficult and difficult, and the little old man is incompetent and has no money.
Now that the cemetery is seeing the thorns and thorns growing barren and the cattle and sheep being banished, I sincerely request you to take action to renovate the cemetery and rebuild and erect monuments."
Lin Tailai sat up and complained: "You should have said this a long time ago, why have you kept it secret until now?
Those who have read Liu Ru's poems and essays for thousands of years are all his friends, so why should they be at the same time as him?
If you had told me earlier, I would have taken action to clean up the cemetery, why did you have to wait until today?"
Lin Daguan, who is keen on gaining fame in the literary world, would definitely be happy to rebuild the cemetery and erect a monument for the famous Tang Bohu.
Even if I don’t have any spare money, I still need to borrow money to get this project started! By the way, I’ll publish a few poems and write an inscription.
Thinking of this, Lin Tailai couldn't help complaining: "We have known each other for so long, why have you kept hiding it?
Could it be that in your mind, I, Lin Tailai, am someone who does not respect the sages?
After all, he is still your uncle. Even if he is not famous, I will help him when I should.
And haven’t you noticed that your uncle and I have similar styles of behavior? We both love the entertainment industry, we both like to write poetry, and we are both famous for being crazy!
If you had told me earlier, I, Lin Tailai, would have gained a lot more momentum in the literary world, why would it be so difficult to get started!"
Old Tang was so annoyed that he couldn't stand it anymore. He bowed his head and apologized, saying, "It's all my fault!
At first, I just thought that a man as famous as my uncle should not be entrusted with rebuilding the cemetery.
If the cemetery falls into the hands of vulgar mortals and needs to be renovated, it would be better not to renovate it and let it disappear from the world."
Lin Tailai: "."
Old Man Tang's apology is quite insincere!
He understood the meaning. What Old Man Tang meant was that you, Lin Tailai, were just a bad boy back then and were "unworthy" of building Tang Bohu's tomb and erecting a monument.
No matter how poor the Tang family is, they still have some pride left. Not just anyone is allowed to take advantage of Tang Bohu's fame.
Huang Xiaomei sat in the back, covering her mouth and snickering. It was rare to see Lin Lang being ridiculed like this.
No wonder the descendants of Tang Bohu are in such a miserable state, it may be because of this pride and unwillingness to bow down.
Lin Tailai muttered in his heart, turned around and said to Huang Xiaomei:
"Old Tang is not loyal enough to the club. He has concealed important personal matters for a long time. One month's salary will be deducted! No, three months!"
Please vote for me! Tang Bohu’s grave is really in Hengtang, but I don’t know why he is buried so far away.
