Chapter 42 Master Shi interviews Wang Lin face to face
Chapter 42: Master visits Wang Lin in person
The capital is a mixed place, especially in a place like Fanlou, where news from all sides spreads very quickly.
Not long after Wang Lin left Fanlou, many people found out his "industry details". Some nefarious people even verified Wang Lin's route certificate through people from the Ministry of War Yamen and confirmed that he was a new soldier from Shandong.
Tiger Hero, from Qinghe County.
It is nothing for a tiger-fighting hero to come to Beijing to participate in martial arts.
What really made people in Bianliang talk about it was Wang Lin's angrily taunting and ridiculing Zhou Bangyan and a group of scholars in Fanlou, the so-called "a pear tree crushes the begonia", and the meaningful and talented "Fish Fishing"
"Sister, Presented to Master Li" was copied and spread everywhere, and almost everyone knew about it.
Wang Lin became famous.
The Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts. A tiger-fighting hero would at most make people fear him, or he might sigh a few times for his natural power and invincibility, but that was all.
But the tiger-fighting hero also has dazzling literary talents, which is different. It is difficult not to attract attention.
As expected, Zhang Zhenniang's maid, Jin'er, secretly found a dilapidated house in a remote civilian area in the west of the city. The monthly rent was only five coins.
The master and the servant moved away alone overnight without even the neighbors noticing.
The two hundred taels of silver given by Wang Lin were not used, so Zhang Zhenniang urged Jin'er to return it to Wang Lin.
Jin'er had no choice but to go to Guiyuan Inn.
But when they arrived, Jin'er couldn't get in at all.
Because the entrance of Guiyuan Inn was overcrowded at the moment, people who came to ask for Wang Lin's poems or claimed to make friends through literature were making a fuss, and the Guiyuan Inn was blocked.
Jin'er returned and said, "Madam, I went to Guiyuan Inn, but I didn't see Mr. Wang."
Zhang Zhenniang was surprised: "Why?"
"Madam, you don't know. Mr. Wang is now a famous figure in Tokyo. It is said that he almost humiliated everyone in the court, Zhou Bangyan, the director of the Imperial College, with his song "A Pear Blossom Pressing Begonias" in Fanlou, and then wrote to that Master Li.
"Liaosou Moyu'er" is now sung by everyone in Bianliang..."
Jin'er shook her head seriously and said: "Seventeenth bride and seventy-year-old bride, with pale hair and red makeup. Mandarin ducks are twined under the quilt at night, and a pear tree weighs a begonia."
Zhang Zhenniang was stunned, then her face turned crimson, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Jin'er held her chin: "Madam, you finally smiled, you are so beautiful!"
Ever since Lin Chongxiu's letter was handed to her, Zhang Zhenniang lost her usual smile.
Zhang Zhenniang covered her face and said softly: "Jin'er, I didn't expect that this prince could be both civilized and military, and he is also a rare person in the world... Although his poem is playful, it actually has its origin. It should be from Tang Yuanzhen's "Yi Duo"
The pear blossoms are pressed like a bed, mocking the elderly Xinnamei’s delicate girl..."
Jin'er shook his head: "I don't understand what the lady is saying. Anyway, the prince is both civil and military, and he is a chivalrous and righteous man. It is a blessing for us to meet such a person."
Zhang Zhenniang nodded, hummed, and was speechless.
A moment of joy could not completely offset the deep worries in her heart.
Although the master and servant are hiding here, they are still in Tokyo city after all. With the power of the Gao Qiu family, Gao Yanei will still come to visit them sooner or later, and how will they feel when the time comes?
Let’s say that Wang Lin was really annoyed at Guiyuan Inn.
He decided to change his residence quickly to avoid being harassed.
After finally sending away a group of people, Master Li came again.
Li Shishi applied a little makeup, still dressed in a white dress, with a spring-like face. He took a maid across the street and arrived at the Guiyuan Inn. The innkeeper suddenly saw the aloof and beautiful goddess in the eyes of Tokyo people, the leader of flowers, and couldn't help but look at it.
Everyone was stunned.
"Man, my girl is here to visit Wang Lin, Mr. Wang!"
Master Li's maid said dissatisfied.
The waiter quickly made way and took Master Li to the private room where Wang Lin lived.
At this time, the news of Master Li's visit spread quickly, and gradually many people rushed to the inn.
"Prince!"
"I've met Miss Shishi!"
Wang Lin was surprised.
He had no idea that Master Li would actually condescend and pay a visit.
"After Mr. Wang left yesterday, Master repeatedly recited the song "To Fish" written by Mr. Wang and stayed up almost all night..."
Li Shishi slowly sat on the pier and said elegantly: "I understand what you mean. You are just saying that youth and beauty are fleeting and fleeting. You rely on your appearance to please others. Although you are happy for a while, it will eventually turn into
dust."
"Young Master's words are all pearls, and my teachers feel the teachings as if they were enlightened and awakened from a dream!"
Wang Lin thought to himself, "It's good if you understand," but he had a smile on his face and said nothing.
"Master, Master is here, firstly, to talk to the Master face to face, and secondly, to invite the Master to Fanlou tomorrow. Master Rong will hold a special banquet to express his gratitude!"
Li Shishi's charming eyes immediately fell on the bright silver gun that Wang Lin casually placed in the corner, and he couldn't help but say with brilliance: "I see that the young master is elegant and handsome, and he is actually a leader among scholars. Unexpectedly, the young master is actually brave and invincible.
The hero is known as the martial arts star in the world, the reincarnation of the overlord of Chu, and can defeat tigers and insects!"
Wang Lin smiled and said, "Master, Miss, I won the award. Those are just false compliments from the locals and cannot be taken seriously."
Li Shishi cast his eyes on Wang Lin.
She has met countless people in Fanlou, and has met many romantic and handsome young men, but she has never met anyone like Wang Lin who can be indifferent to her.
His eyes were so calm, so calm that Master Li felt that he didn't look like a man.
Because the men she met in the past looked at her with eyes full of fanaticism and aggression.
Including the current official, Zhao Ji.
…
There was a buzz of people outside Guiyuan Inn and there were crowds of people moving around.
Master Li came to visit Wang Lin from Shandong Province. He went into Wang Lin's room and still didn't come out for at least more than an hour. The waiter from the middle store also brought wine and food to his door.
It was not until evening that everyone saw Li Shishi, whose cheeks were slightly red and obviously had drunk wine, hurried away accompanied by the maid, and Wang Lin personally escorted him to the door.
The crowd was in a panic, and then various scandals about Wang Lin and Li Shishi spread like wildfire.
Everyone else envied Wang Lin for his astonishing beauty, but in fact, Wang Lin and Li Shishi just chatted and had no deep exchanges.
Among the crowd outside the inn, a young man in a white shirt walked away with a gloomy expression.
This person is Lu Ping, Gao Yanei's assistant.
Lu Ping returned to the Taiwei Mansion, and Gao Yanei was looking for him everywhere.
"Ya Nei!"
"Lu Ping, has Mrs. Lin not been found yet?"
Gao Yanei was so drunk that he suddenly slapped the table: "You are all a bunch of trash, a loser!"
Lu Ping smiled cautiously: "In the yamen, although I didn't find any trace of Mrs. Zhang, I did meet the boy who had an affair that day. His name is Wang Lin. He is currently living in Guiyuan Inn in Qinghe County, Shandong Province.
Came to Beijing to take the martial arts exam."
"Martial arts? Why don't you go and capture him?" Gao Yanei bared his teeth and glared: "Lu Ping, if the Taiwei Mansion is doing something, anyone who dares to stop it will be killed directly. What else can you say?"
"No. Please don't worry, Yameni. I will take people to capture that guy tomorrow and torture him severely. I will definitely find out the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhang."
