Hearing Zhang Youyu's emotion, Wang Zhideng quickly made a few gestures to Zhang Youyu. After Zhang Youyu saw it, he nodded with satisfaction.
Others looked confused. Do you two mortal enemies still have such a tacit understanding?
When they were teenagers, one of these two people was Wen Zhengming's close disciple, and the other was a young genius whom Wen Zhengming recommended.
More than ten years ago, the two men competed for the leadership position in Suzhou's literary world and then became enemies. In the end, Zhang Youyu was defeated and became crazy.
Unexpectedly, it is really the bitter enemies who understand each other best.
I don’t know how much price Wang Zhideng’s gesture contained, but Zhang Youyu finally showed his teacher’s attitude and shouted to Gao Changjiang:
"Why doesn't Lin Tailai come out to see me? Could it be that since he became the Nine Yuan Great Immortal, he no longer wants to recognize the teacher? Why don't you call him out yet!"
It's okay that Zhang Youyu didn't say anything, but if he said this as a teacher, it would be impossible even if Lin Tailai didn't come forward.
As a dabbler in literature, it was rare for Gao Changjiang to sit on an equal footing with several local literary giants at the same time, and he felt a little reluctant to leave the stage.
He also wanted to continue to enjoy the feeling of sitting and discussing with several literary figures.
He persuaded me earnestly: "Lin Zuiguan has been very irritable recently and cannot be provoked. All you old gentlemen should talk to me."
Zhang Fengyi asked strangely: "Returning to your hometown with the glory of nine yuan is a great joy in life, what's the point of being upset?"
Gao Changjiang explained a few more words, "Old Mr. Lingxu doesn't know something.
First, the Lin Group's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the resources it needs to invest are also getting bigger and bigger.
It is no longer possible to rely on idleness and opportunism to get things done. What is needed is real money and support from top to bottom.
Secondly, as the Lin Group grows, internal disputes become more and more complex, all of which require coordination and resolution.
For example, our Hengtang College feels that the Hengtang Fish Market is too disruptive to our school operations, and we hope that the fish market will be relocated.
But the fish market is where Mrs. Huang's emotions are tied, and she refuses to move away, which is a contradiction."
The people present were all top-notch literati, and their reading comprehension skills were rated at 90%, not to mention their perfect scores.
After hearing this, everyone finally understood that Gao Changjiang was deliberately showing off his status in front of everyone.
What I mean is, you see, I, Lao Gao, can fight with Lin Tailai's beloved wife from outside the wife.
After the fight, you can continue to be active and lively, sitting here chatting and laughing with you, this is called status in the industry.
Finally, Gao Changjiang concluded: "All in all, if you call Lin Zuoguan out, the old gentlemen will only be more upset. If you are so angry that your body is damaged, it is not worth it."
The anxious Wen Yuanfa spoke again unbearably: "My son has been caught by Lin Jiuyuan! What could be more heartbreaking than this?"
Gao Changjiang couldn't help but sigh secretly, he still couldn't control the situation.
If others don't give him face, he, Mr. Gao Changjiang, won't serve him anymore, so he turned his face and said:
"Old gentlemen who offer good advice but refuse to listen should not regret it after asking for trouble!"
Then Gao Changjiang went to the easternmost Kuaoyuan and invited Lin Tai to come.
That's right, Lin Tailai was not in the main courtyard at this time, but in the easternmost cross-yard.
As we all know, for safety reasons, the gate of Lin Mansion does not face the central main courtyard, but faces the east cross courtyard.
In the East Crossing Hospital, there are a large number of nursing staff and family members stationed there.
Official Lin arrested the people and temporarily placed them all in Dongkua Courtyard, where they conducted friendly interviews.
When Gao Changjiang arrived, he looked at the three scholars with bruises and swollen faces, and knew in his heart that this friendly interview in the hall would be fruitful.
At this moment, Lin Daguan was still teaching Feng Menglong earnestly: "If I didn't take action, how could they be willing to confess? Is it because they were instructed to deliberately bully and humiliate you?
So you have to remember that even the literary world cannot be without force. The literary world is not much different in form from that of a society."
Sixteen-year-old Feng Menglong did not think that Wen Zhenmeng, who was his own age, could have such scheming intentions.
When Gao Changjiang came to call him, Lin Daguan criticized him and said: "Are you still good? You can't even talk about numbers?"
Gao Changjiang muttered: "I'm not the Nine Yuan Immortal."
Lin Daguan was cursing and switching from a member of the underworld to the literati mode that made him irritated, and went to the living room of the Central Courtyard to meet people.
The flower hall with bright windows and clear windows did not make Lin Daguan feel better. After scanning around, he spoke to the old hermaphrodite:
"It's really rare! Teacher Youyu and Mr. Lao Deng actually sit at the same table!
What made you two put aside the grudges of more than ten years and sit together?
A while ago, I went to Nanjing to visit Hai Qingtian, and by the way I went to Nanqu to visit old acquaintances for you. I didn't hear that Ma Xianglan and Zhao Caiji had reconciled?
By the way, Ma Xianglan asked me to send a message to Mr. Lao Deng, whether you want to marry her or not?"
Wang Zhideng had veins popping out on his forehead, but Zhang Youyu jumped up very suddenly, looking as if he was getting up in anger and was about to reprimand Lin Tailai as a teacher.
But then I heard Zhang Youyu said to Wang Zhideng and Wen Yuanfa:
"Now that Lin Tailai has been summoned, my mission has been completed. I bid you farewell!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Youyu quickly walked out of the flower hall, dragging his broken straw sandals.
The rest of the crowd: ""
You can say that Zhang You is crazy, you can say that Zhang You is epileptic, but you cannot say that Zhang You is stupid.
When should I stay and when should I leave? I have a clear mind
The eldest brother of the Zhang family, Zhang Fengyi, quickly shouted: "Second brother, don't leave! Otherwise, he will regret it too late!"
Zhang Youyu was puzzled. Usually when he was embarrassed, his eldest brother would like to get out of here and disappear. Why is it abnormal today?
He stopped again and sat on the steps outside, "I'll bask in the sun here."
Zhang Youyu, the titular teacher, was not in the room, so Lin Tailai had no worries.
Looking at Wen Yuanfa, he said: "It's really rare! The head of the Wen family actually went to visit someone else's house!
What kind of wind can make the head of the Wen family stop being reserved and come to the gate of our Lin Mansion?
This ruins your grandfather’s achievements. I heard that your grandfather didn’t even go to pay homage to Yan Song!”
Otherwise, in the literary world, just memorizing and plagiarizing is of no use. You also need to understand the ways of the world. Otherwise, others will not understand what they say.
Wen Zhengming lived until the age of ninety in his later years. He was very old, senior and prestigious.
Therefore, in the Suzhou literary world, Wen Zhengming "lived in seclusion" in Shihu in his later years and rarely went to see others, or in other words, only others came to see him.
There are two allusions at that time. One is that Ningbo was still open to navigation at that time, and foreign envoys passing by Suzhou on their way north would pay homage to the Wen family gate to show their admiration.
Second, the powerful Prime Minister Yan Song passed by Suzhou, and Wen Zhengming did not go to meet him, which made Yan Song very unhappy.
Later, because Wen Zhengming had many disciples and disciples, and the Wen family had a transcendent status in the Suzhou literary world, Wen Yuanfa adhered to his grandfather's "family style" and rarely visited others.
That's why senior officials like Lin would joke that it was rare for Wen Yuanfa to visit the Lin Mansion, or it might be a mockery.
Wen Yuanfa couldn't help but feel in a daze. Is Lin Daguanren's words mocking the Wen family, or calling him Yan Song?
Zhang Fengyi had no choice but to smooth things over and said, "Jiuyuan, listen to me, you and I are of the same Suzhou cultural background. Is there anything we can't talk about?"
Lin Tailai snorted coldly: "In order to promote Wen Zhenmeng to the throne, your literary family instigated others to suppress and humiliate Feng Menglong, his peer in the literary world, with the intention of excluding Feng Menglong, who was more outstanding than Wen Zhenmeng, from the literary world!
I, Lin Tailai, have resisted the hegemony in the literary world since my debut, and I can’t stand this kind of thing the most!
What's more, Feng Menglong is my little brother, if I don't stand up for him, how will the world view me, Lin Tailai?"
Wen Yuanfa immediately denied it, "There is absolutely no such thing! Our Wen family has never instigated others to suppress Feng Menglong!"
Official Lin chuckled a few times, "It seems that Mr. Wen has come to the Lin Mansion too few times, and has interacted with me, Mr. Lin, too little. He doesn't know my rules."
Wen Yuanfa couldn't answer the question immediately. What's the rule? Is it a club rule?
"Lao Gao! Tell him!" Lin Tailai ordered Gao Changjiang, who was standing beside him.
Gao Changjiang said without any emotion: "In front of Lin Zuituan, it doesn't matter what you think the facts are.
Whatever Lin thinks the facts should be, that's what it is."
"It's so verbose." Lin Tailai criticized Gao Changjiang, and then said to Wen Yuanfa: "I don't want you to think, I just want what I think!"
Gao Changjiang felt inferior. There was indeed a gap between his speaking skills and those of sitting in the audience.
"Absurd!" Wen Yuanfa became angry again without realizing it, "Are you completely ignoring the facts?"
Zhang Fengyi only played the role of smoothing things over today and said: "Don't be too suspicious of Jiuyuan. The Wen family would not do such a thing. After all, there is a family tradition passed down from Mr. Wen Hengshan."
Lin Daguan, who has always been very difficult to talk to, went out of his way and said suspiciously: "Does Feng Menglong's bullying really have nothing to do with the Wen family? In other words, the Wen family did not instruct others to do it?"
Regardless of whether Wen Jia did it or not, Zhang Fengyi could only say: "No, no!"
It can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Mr. Wen Hengshan for supporting him back then.
Lin Tailai responded to Zhang Fengyi: "I still believe in Mr. Lingxu very much. Since Mr. Lingxu said that the Wen family didn't do it, then it didn't happen."
With Lin Tailai's words, at this point in his lecture, the atmosphere in the room finally began to relax.
According to the normal routine, what follows is nothing more than bargaining over how to compensate Feng Menglong.
"Jiuyuan, what else do you want to say?" Zhang Fengyi asked tentatively, which means that if there are conditions, you can mention it.
For example, Lin Tailai, don't you want to focus on ranking the literary world and dominate the literary world? You can mention it now.
After all, the writer has a special status in the Suzhou literary world and is a good partner for cooperation.
Lin Tailai said: "Since Feng Menglong's bullying has nothing to do with the Wen family, then you can leave!"
Even Gao Changjiang next to him was shocked. It was unusually generous to sit in the restaurant without any conditions!
Wen Yuanfa almost answered the question, but then he remembered, what are we going to do?
It seems that Lin Tailai just said to let them go, but not to let his son go?
"What does nine yuan mean? Can the dog be released together?" Wen Yuanfa asked doubtfully.
Lin Tailai replied: "What I mean is that since your Wen family did not do this, it was done privately by your son!
In other words, the prince probably secretly instigated some scholars to bully Feng Menglong.
And you, the Wen family, are completely unaware of it, so don’t be surprised if you don’t know anything!”
Wen Yuanfa: "???"
Isn't it more serious than accusing the Wen family of letting Wen Zhenmeng, who has a bright future and the hope for the future of the Wen family, take the blame?
What kind of magical logic is this for you, Lin Tailai? If the Wen family doesn't admit it, then it will become Wen Zhenmeng's private act?
Zhang Fengyi, who had always tried to smooth things over like soy sauce, now became nervous.
If Wen Zhenmeng has such a reputation, how can he be worthy of the cultivation of Mr. Wen Zhengming?
"Nine yuan, don't be ridiculous, it's too scary." Zhang Fengyi said quickly.
Lin Tailai laughed, "Those three scholars have confessed that they were instigated by Wen Zhenmeng.
Moreover, there are confessions written in black and white as well as signatures and pictures to prove it. How can I be joking?
Of course, in a legal sense, this kind of unilateral confession has no effect.
I wonder if you would mind if I send the confession to others for verification?"
Everyone: ""
Can such an obvious surrender still be a legal issue?
You, Lin Tailai, are simply forcing your shit in other people’s faces!
If you have the ability to frame the Wen family, don't embarrass a sixteen-year-old!
Wen Yuanfa's heart felt cold. He never expected that the nature of the matter would turn out like this!
You, Lin Tailai, used the dirty tactics used in court struggles on a sixteen-year-old child. How shameless!
Even in dimensionality reduction strikes, there is no use of cannons to kill mosquitoes!
Gao Changjiang shook his head and said to Wen Yuanfa sympathetically:
"I just said, just talk to me, don't provoke Lin Zuoguan, it will only make you more worried!
Everyone in the world knows that when talking about numbers, it is best not to talk to Lin directly!
It's a pity that you think too highly of yourself, look down on me, Gao Changjiang, and don't understand the rules of the world. Now you can only regret it!"
Everyone really wanted to beat Gao Changjiang together. Can you blame them?
Lin Tailai sometimes follows the rules of the literary world, and sometimes follows the rules of the world, switching back and forth randomly. Who can keep up with the idea?
There was silence in the room at this moment, and even Zhang Fengyi, who was trying to smooth things over, didn't dare to speak easily, for fear that if he said anything wrong, it would have irreversible consequences.
Zhang Youyu, who was basking in the sun outside, suddenly stuck his head into the door and gave instructions:
"You Wen family don't have to explain, just make an offer that Lin Tailai can't refuse!
After all, Lin Tailai is just asking for a high price! If you, the Wen family, agree, that's it!"
Mr. Lin: ""
Sometimes, Teacher Zhang is really annoying! He even leaks the pretense lines he prepared!
Wen Yuanfa calmed down and asked: "Jiuyuan, what do you want from Quanzi?"
Lin Tailai said calmly: "There are many, such as the leaders and seats in the literary world, not just in Suzhou, but also across the country."
Zhang Youyu seemed to be triggered by some keyword, and he rushed in from the outside and asked repeatedly: "What did you say? Leader? Seat? The literary world is about to restart?"
More than ten years ago, Zhang Youyu became crazy because he failed in his bid to become the leader of the local literary circle in Suzhou.
Lin Tailai said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is here today, let's settle the matter! Gao Changjiang goes and closes the door!"
Wang Laodeng, the leader of Suzhou's local literary circle, had a wonderful expression on his face. He didn't expect to save someone but he would be usurped!
