Chapter 279 How to break into the literary world (please vote for me!)
From a purely profit perspective, the Wang family's decision is not difficult to make.
Although the Zichuan Gao family was a famous local family in their ancient Linzi area, their power is now not as powerful as the Xincheng Wang family.
Even if they get married, having such a Jinshi relative will not add much to the power of the Wang family. After all, the most important thing the Wang family lacks is Jinshi.
What's more, the promotion of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue to the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue is a game involving the top and highest level of the pyramid, and ordinary personal connections are of little use.
Lin Tailai here promised to help obtain the Minister of Household Affairs. Even if Lin Tailai messed up the matter, Lin Tailai still had the chief minister behind him, so he had indirectly established a favor with the chief minister.
As for Lin Tailai himself, he is basically a martial arts scholar, and he and the Wang family have formed a complementary relationship in a certain sense.
The core of the next generation of the Wang family is Wang Xiangqian, who is currently taking the border town route. It is quite useful to have a relative named Wu Jinshi.
But the problem is that not many people in the world are absolutely pure profit-seeking animals, and sophistication and sophistication play a more or less important role in people's hearts.
Back then, the Gao family vowed to marry a daughter from the Wang family. In fact, this was a matter of great honor to the Wang family, making everyone in the Wang family proud of it.
If the Wang family ignores the tacit understanding between the two families for many years and abandons Gao Ju at this time, it will seriously harm the traditional friendship between the two families.
Official Lin waited for a while, but when there was no reply from the Wang family, he used another move of "extreme pressure" and urged:
"The election of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is about to begin. If you want to seize the opportunity, you must make a decision tonight and then start planning tomorrow.
So there is no time for a long exam, so please make your decision soon, Young Master, and don’t look forward and backward and miss the opportunity!”
Wang Zhiyuan sighed, but said: "Fifteenth sister has always been a person with ideas, let her make her own decision based on her heart!
If her heart is high, then I have no chance of becoming the Great Situ!"
Lin Tailai said dissatisfiedly: "It's unfair for Young Situ to say this, giving Gao Zhi a preconceived advantage.
And the fifteen-year-old lady has never even met me, how can she make the right choice?"
Wang Zhiyuan said helplessly: "Tomorrow, the fifteenth sister will go to the Apparition Palace to offer incense and pray for blessings. Will you accompany her?"
Lin Tailai agreed: "That's okay! The first step of the original plan was to make my relationship with the Wang family public, and it happened to be done tomorrow."
His nephew Wang Xiangmeng, who had never been qualified to speak, suddenly asked:
"Lin Jieyuan isn't thinking about snatching people away directly, is he?"
Lin Daguan is quite surprised. This is indeed an alternative plan that focuses on "surprise". How did you, Wang Xiangmeng, guess it?
Wang Zhiyuan scolded Wang Xiangmeng first: "Get down!" and then added to Lin Tailai:
"There is one more thing I want to remind you. Sister Fifteen has already planned to go to the Apparition Palace to perform incense. Gao Ji also knows about it and will probably go there."
Lin Tailai asked suspiciously: "Is it possible that you guys deliberately arranged this situation for me to have a chance encounter with Gao Ju?"
Mr. Wang and Situ were speechless. Lin Tailai was so suspicious that he quickly swore that "it was definitely not an intentional arrangement."
Before leaving, Lin Tailai said again: "Please clear out the residence in your mansion. After tomorrow, I may have to temporarily cut off from the chief minister and move to your mansion."
Official Lin stayed overnight at Wang's house that night, and the next day, Lin Tailai specially rode a horse to escort the carriage of Lady Wang Zhiyao to the Apparition Palace.
Official Lin really wanted to see what the fifteenth sister of the Wang family looked like, but unfortunately, she was wearing a women's sunhat with a gauze scarf hanging on the brim, blocking her face.
In this era, ladies often cover their faces in this way when going out.
When they arrived at the Apparition Palace, the group dismounted their horses, got off their horses, and went to the main hall to offer incense.
At this time, suddenly a scribe who was nearly thirty years old walked over quickly and shouted in a familiar voice: "Fifteenth sister! What happened?"
It was not difficult for Lin Tailai to guess that this person was probably the one who had sworn not to marry anyone who was not a daughter of the royal family.
It seems that Gao Ji also received some rumors, so he asked such a question.
Lin Tailai was very curious about how Wang Zhiyao would answer.
Then a cold voice came from behind the veil: "Brother Gao, don't come to the slave family again in the future."
This rejection was so straightforward that even Lin Tailai was surprised.
He originally thought that he would have to pull it sticky for a few rounds in front of him.
But Gao Ju was very stubborn and said unconvinced: "I heard that your Wang family was still hesitating yesterday and did not make a final decision!"
Wang Zhiyao didn't give the slightest chance and said, "Our Wang family hesitated for Lin Tailai. Doesn't that explain the problem?"
Gao Zhi finally broke through his defense, pointed at Lin Tailai and cursed: "What a Southern barbarian thief! You must have used some despicable and shameless means to coerce the Wang family into marrying off their daughters and forcefully take away their love!"
Wang Zhiyao seemed to be worried that Lin Tailai would also be angry, so he turned his head and glanced beside him, but found that Lin Tailai, who was scolded, had no negative emotions at all. Instead, he seemed to be watching someone else's show with great interest.
Wang Zhiyao asked in a low voice in surprise: "Aren't you annoyed that he scolded you like this?"
Lin Daguan said calmly: "I'm not angry at all. On the contrary, I felt a little relieved when I heard that I was threatening others."
Wang Zhiyao: "."
You still feel happy after being scolded. Are you, Lin Tailai, a generous person, or are you a psychopath?
Gao Ji said to Lin Tai again: "Back then, I swore that I would marry the daughter of the Wang family. Many people know about this! I have been waiting for ten years for this!
Now there are fifteen young ladies in the Wang family who have grown up and are still unmarried, and I have achieved great success and achieved the rank of Jinshi!
If the two families get married, they can create a story together that will be passed down to future generations!
I will ask famous artists to compose music for this purpose, form a script, and spread it throughout the world!
The reputation of the fifteenth sister will be immortalized along with the legends, and even if you take her away, what will you bring to her?"
Lin Daguan was slightly surprised. He did not expect that there was such a "romantic" meaning behind this matter.
Gao Zhou shouted to Lin Tailai a little hysterically: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult for women to leave a name, you are ruining her chance!
You only regard her as a bargaining chip for the Wang family, but you don't regard her as an independent person!"
Lin Tailai looked at Wang Zhiyao and confirmed, "I heard from Wang Zhiyao that you like poetry and literature very much?"
The sunhat surrounding the veil floated up and down a few times, and Wang Zhiyao seemed to be nodding.
Then Lin Tailai turned to Gao Ji and said loudly: "I will make the fifteenth-year-old lady become the first female poet in the Ming Dynasty!
She will be passed down to future generations along with her vocals and works, making her name even more immortal!
In the future, when others think of Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty, they will also think of Wang Shiwu in the Ming Dynasty!"
hold high:"."
This Lin Tailai can actually draw a pie better than himself! What if he can't even match his skill in drawing pie?
He immediately took out a few poetry manuscripts from his arms and said to Wang Zhiyao affectionately:
"This is a set of poems I wrote for you. It has been reviewed by Xing Tong, a senior from the same hometown. He promised to try his best to help me promote it."
Lin Tailai was completely unprepared. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly stretched out his hand.
The left and right guardians quickly handed the pen and ink to Lin Tailai's hand, and then the right guardian Zhang Wu lay directly on the ground. The left guardian Zhang Wen placed the manuscript paper on Zhang Wu's back, forming a temporary small desk.
Lin Tailai was very creative and wrote a poem on the spot!
Then he handed the manuscript paper to Wang Zhiyao, "As the first female poet in the Ming Dynasty, you must publish a collection of poems. This is the opening work I have chosen for you!"
Wang Zhiyao took it and saw that the title was "Golden Thread Song·Feelings", and the text of the poem was:
"Born in the Green Lotus Realm.
Since I turned over, I have had many troubles and who should I answer for?
I wish I could reach the Milky Way three thousand feet away and wash away my daughter's old ways.
Pack it up, cut off the fat and lose the fat.
Don't imitate Lantai's sad autumn words, but speak loudly and break the barriers of heaven and earth.
Draw your long sword and lean toward the sky.
There are many seas of orioles and flowers in the world. Leave aside the flag pavilion and paint the walls, and the two servant girls bow down.
Even when the wine is over and the song is gone, everything is helpless.
Ask about the past, where are the ashes of calamity?
When one realizes the true truth of Wuwu, one becomes a god and is hindered by emptiness.
There is nothing strange about earthly things."
While watching, Wang Zhiyao suddenly felt a trembling feeling.
Although this word is in a female tone, it is so sassy! It feels like a mixture of Li Qingzhao and Li Bai!
"Did you write this?" Wang Zhiyao asked.
Lin Tailai replied with a smile: "No, this is written by you, and you will have more good works published in the future."
Wang Zhiyao was speechless. Could it be that Lin Tailai meant that he would become his own pen in the future?
Holding her poem manuscript high, she shouted: "Fifteenth sister! These poems of mine have been commented and promoted by the famous Xing Dong!"
Lin Daguan responded disdainfully: "Who doesn't know how to promote?"
Then he continued to ask Wang Zhiyao: "Now that you have a good work in hand, what should you do next?"
Wang Zhiyao asked strangely: "What should I do? Of course I should collect it first and show it to my relatives and friends in the future."
Lin Tailai said enigmatically: "You are wasting your talent. Let me teach you how to become the first female poet in the Ming Dynasty!"
You see, this is the Apparition Palace, one of the three major palaces in the capital, and this is the main palace where people come and go."
Wang Zhiyao asked without knowing why: "So what?"
Lin Tailai pointed to the white wall in the hall and said: "Of course I want to write the work on it for people to appreciate!"
"Really? Even if it is written on the wall, others may not be very interested in reading it." Wang Zhiyao said doubtfully.
Lin Tailai handed over the pen and encouraged, "Go ahead! I'm very experienced in this area. Believe me, I'm right."
Wang Zhiyao took the pen, stood on tiptoe, and was about to write on the wall.
Suddenly, a Taoist priest on duty rushed over and shouted: "Don't write on the wall!"
Wang Zhiyao withdrew his hand and looked at Lin Tailai.
But Lin Daguan didn't care at all, and casually used a trick in his sleeves to directly knock away the Taoist priest who came to stop him.
At the same time, he said to Wang Zhiyao: "It doesn't matter, just write your own."
More than a dozen other Taoist priests in the hall rushed over fiercely, but after Lin Daguan finished the operation, they all fell to the ground.
When other people who came to offer incense saw this scene, a well-informed person exclaimed: "Could it be Lin Jieyuan from Suzhou? He actually hit the Apparition Palace!"
After finishing his work, Lin Daguan turned to Wang Zhiyao and said: "Don't worry about these noises, just keep writing!"
Wang Zhiyao looked at the Taoist priests all over the floor and said hesitantly, "Isn't this bad?"
Lin Daguanren shared his experience: "When I started to enter the literary world in Suzhou, no one would let me write poems on the wall at first.
Later, I relied on the Iron Fist and the Golden Whip to open up the situation. This is the first lesson in breaking into the literary world, take action when it is time to take action.
So it’s really nothing, they are just stepping stones for you to become the first female poet in the Ming Dynasty!
You see, after you beat someone, the excitement started to rise, and you don’t have to worry about no one being interested in reading the poems on the wall!"
At this time, there was an old Taoist priest standing outside the back door of the main hall, jumping to his feet and yelling something.
Lin Tailai yelled over and said: "I am the chief minister's disciple, who dares to be rude to me? Do you want the money and food from the court for this ruined temple? Get out!"
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment and then disappeared as if he was flying.
Lin Tailai then smiled at Wang Zhiyao and said: "If it was during the Jiajing period when Shintoism was respected, I would never dare to do this, but it doesn't matter now.
This is the second experience in the literary world, knowing who can be beaten and who cannot be beaten."
During the Jiajing period, Xianling Palace was the place where Tao Zhongwen, the emperor's spiritual mentor and national preceptor, started his career. Who would dare to hit anyone casually here?
Finally, under the guidance and encouragement of Lin Daguan, Wang Zhiyao wrote this "Golden Thread Song" on the east wall of the main hall of Xianling Palace.
Lin Tailai pointed at the Taoist priest on the ground and shouted: "I will send people to look at it every day. If you dare to erase the words on the wall, I will hit you every time!"
Wang Zhiyao: "."
The image of the high-ranking official in front of him gradually overlapped with the image described in his brother's letter from the king's capital.
Lin Tailai walked out of the main hall, but saw Gao Ji still standing at the entrance of the hall, and said in surprise: "What are you still doing here?"
He stood there without saying a word and looked dull.
Wang Zhiyao said softly: "Goodbye Mr. Gao, I wish you will meet a better lover."
"No!" Gao Zhang covered his head and squatted on the ground.
While continuing to walk out, Wang Zhiyao took the initiative and said: "Although the Nu family and Mr. Lin have never met, we have actually been close friends for a long time. Mr. Lin is often mentioned in the letters home from brother Zhidu."
Lin Tailai asked curiously: "What does that little lady think of me?"
Wang Zhiyao replied: "Although Mr. Lin is lustful, domineering, arrogant, and lawless, he is still a good man."
Lin Tailai: "."
How many bad things did the tax envoy say about him behind his back?
Wang Zhiyao asked again: "The poems and lyrics sent by my brother from Zhidu before have improved by leaps and bounds. Are they all due to Lin Jun's elegance and correction?"
Lin Tailai did not answer directly, but only tentatively said: "It seems that the young lady is also really interested in literature. We might as well communicate more in the future."
If she were a female literary youth, it would be so easy to coax her. He, Lin Tailai, has nothing but a lot of poetry in his belly!
Wang Zhiyao smiled slightly: "Who said that the Nu family likes poetry and literature?"
Lin Tailai said in astonishment: "Don't you like it?"
Wang Zhiyao sighed: "If you like the image of poetry, it's just for others to see!
Don’t you male literati all like the tone of talented scholars and beauties? Don’t you all like red sleeves to add fragrance and explain the language of flowers?”
Lin Tailai: "."
Damn it! Suddenly I felt that I actually knew nothing about this Wang Shiwu!
It seemed that what she saw was just what she wanted to see!
I don’t know how to write a better heroine, so I have been revising it over and over again, from this afternoon to now, hey
