Feng Shike is currently living in Qiuzhiyuan Villa, because he borrowed the place in Qiuzhiyuan to hold an elegant gathering, so it is convenient to live here.
There are two city gates in the north of Gusu City, namely Pingmen and Qimen. Qiuzhi Garden is located between Pingmen and Qimen in the city.
When Lin Tailai took the two Zhang brothers into the city from Xumen and walked to Qiuzhiyuan Villa, it was already dusk.
When they met again in the house, they heard Mr. Feng sighing and saying, "I don't understand, how could things become like this?"
Lin Tailai didn't answer, but first asked, "Does Mr. Feng think it's my fault?"
Feng Shike shook his head and said fairly: "Although the matter has come to this, it cannot be said that you did anything wrong."
Therefore, Professor Lin can confirm that Mr. Feng is indeed a trustworthy person and does not have a two-pronged personality.
If it were an ordinary person who follows the trend, they would probably have already indiscriminately accused themselves of stealing the limelight from the old alliance leader, and put all the blame on themselves.
On the way, the servants of the Feng family had already informed some of the situation. Professor Lin knew what was going on and said with a smile: "Although I have done some things, you are really welcome!"
Feng Shike was so angry that his teeth ached: "No matter what, you are the one who caused the trouble. Do I need to thank you in turn?"
Lin Tailai replied: "Master Feng, if you think about it carefully, if I hadn't made trouble, Mr. Wang wouldn't have attended your gathering, right?"
Feng Shike: "."
This logic is a bit strong and cannot be refuted!
Lin Tailai didn't give Feng Shike a chance to think, and then continued to ask: "So, what is there to worry about? Isn't it good to be like this now?"
Feng Shike thought Lin Tailai was saying something sarcastic, "Don't take it seriously, what's the benefit?
Wang Danzhou said he wanted to come to my gathering, and he obviously didn’t want you to appear at the gathering, forcing me to give up on you!"
Lin Tailai said again: "Second Master Feng needs to change his thinking.
You should think of it this way, through my efforts, your gathering invited Mr. Wang, the leader of the gathering, and my works also got out of the circle one after another with the help of Mr. Wang!
You have gained real benefits, and I have gained fame, so what’s wrong with the current situation? On the contrary, it’s a great thing!”
Feng Shike: "."
Why do you still think of things like this? Are he and Lin Tailai living in two different worlds?
"But you have been designated as an enemy of the literary world!" Feng Shike emphasized.
Lin Tailai nodded slightly and said, "This is my honor."
Mr. Feng Er couldn't understand Lin Tailai's thinking, so he asked a very practical question: "What should we do about this gathering?"
Professor Lin waved his hand and said calmly: "I, Lin Tailai, am a righteous Bo Yuntian. I am very loyal to my friends. I often sacrifice myself to help my friends, and I never embarrass my friends!"
Now that Alliance Leader Wang has arrived, you, the master, don’t need to invite me!"
Professor Lin's words were so heartwarming that Feng Shike was surprised and confused, "Really? Don't you need me to lead you into the literary world?"
Remembering that he hadn't exercised today, Lin Tailai slowly moved his wrists and arm joints, and said casually:
"Master Feng, you are willing to go through all the trouble and don't show off to me with your wealth, so I must give you face.
But that old man from Taicang doesn’t have any respect for me here.”
Professor Lin then continued to move his strong shoulder joints, and twisted his neck a few times from left to right, and the joints made a "click-click" sound.
At the same time, he was still saying: "For the sake of Second Master Feng, I could only restrain Wang Shizhen and endure the grievance of being expelled from the city.
But now Wang Shizhen is forcing Mr. Feng to break the contract, which is tantamount to personally taking away Mr. Feng’s face!
No wonder I let go of my hands and feet. As the saying goes, break through the iron cage to escape the tiger and leopard, and open the golden lock to escape the dragon!
So Master Feng doesn’t have to worry, I, Lin Tailai, naturally have my own literary skills!”
Listening to Professor Lin talking about "breaking through the iron cage to escape the tiger and leopard, opening the golden lock to escape the dragon", and then looking at the muscular forearms exposed in Professor Lin's sleeves, Feng Shike suddenly thought of something.
I heard that the night before yesterday, when Lin Tailai was having a banquet, he recited a fake verse in front of everyone. Some of the sentences were similar to:
"Suddenly the golden rope was opened, and the jade lock was broken here!
The news came from outside Guxu’s door, and today you know who I am!”
Feng Shike was immediately taken aback and said in horror: "Do you want to use the iron fist and golden whip to directly enter Gusu Yi and seize the alliance leader's position?"
Lin Tailai: "."
Feng Shike asked worriedly: "Is this really your intention?"
Professor Lin said sincerely: "What I'm talking about below is the way of literature, not specific literary works."
Feng Shike sighed: "Even you have a literary talent, so where is my literary talent?"
Lin Tailai patted his pectoralis major and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Feng, as for your literary script, I have written it for you based on your character."
Feng Shike: "???"
He himself couldn't figure out how to find a way out of literature when he had money but no talent but didn't want to find a gunman. How could an outsider like Lin Tailai figure it out?
Lin Tailai seemed to slowly unfold a historical picture and said to Feng Shike:
“The retro-style sect that has dominated the literary world for hundreds of years is now decaying and rigid, and its talents are withering, resulting in the decline of the retro-style school.
Under the impact of Lin Tailai, this super new force, the hegemony of the retro school is even more shaky!
A few years later, after the death of the old alliance leader Wang, the situation was like a tree falling and the hozens scattering. The retro sect immediately fell apart and melted away quickly!
And Mr. Feng Er, one of the last five sons of the sect, you stood up, but his level was limited. Oh no, cross out this sentence.
Although you are loyal to the sect, you are unable to survive on your own.
Although you have been jumping up and down all your life, you still can't stop the siege of the new sects in the literary world such as the Gong'an Sect, the Jingling Sect, the Xingxing Sect, etc., and by the way, they are all under my leadership!
As a result, you become the tragic martyr of the century-old retro-hegemony and the last remnant!
When the time comes, I, Lin Tailai, who has become a literary giant, will write a few poems to remember you specifically.
So, you don’t need talent to leave your name in the history of literature. How about this script?"
Feng Shike was speechless for a long time, his mood was complicated, and his expression was even more complicated. He was so confused that he didn't know what to say!
Who is this guy who is beating people and writing poems at the same time?
Lin Tailai also explained in detail: "This script is based on your personality and character.
Three years ago, Prime Minister Zhang Taiyue passed away. You refused to follow the trend and attack your teacher Zhang Taiyue. You still regarded yourself as Zhang Taiyue's student. As a result, you could no longer serve as an official.
In the future, if the retro sect collapses, with your loyal character, you will definitely stick to the retro sect. This is called character deciding your fate!
My idea in designing this script is to allow you to act in your true colors as much as possible."
Feng Shike couldn't help shouting: "You, Lin Tailai, are a devil! Get out of my sight today!"
This extremely excellent script, Lin Tailai, you don't have to tell it in advance!
Lin Tailai sighed. He didn't want to visit at first, but Mr. Feng insisted on inviting me over and made everything clear.
In the original history, it was Qian Shuileng who made two notes for Mr. Feng.
In this time and space, Lin Tailai will definitely do better than Qian Shuileng, making your second master Feng's life more tragic!
Before leaving, Professor Lin said again: "Although I won't be invited to your gathering this time, I didn't say I won't participate."
The base of new books is still not good, and the monthly vote list has indeed dropped out of 100. Are there any leftover votes?
In addition, I checked for a long time and found that the only name left in Feng Shike's literary history seems to be a few sentences written in Qian Qianyi's notes, saying that after Wang Shizhen died, Feng Shike and Zou Diguang stuck to the retro style, and then nothing happened.
