The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chapter 25 The literary world is too dark

After a night of silence, Lin Tailai boarded the boat and set off for Shangtang outside Changmen.

Old Man Tang muttered that he was running too hard to Suzhou City while sitting in the restaurant, and he had forgotten that the fish market was the fundamental place.

In the usual sense, a certain city generally refers to the area within the city walls, and only within the city walls can it be considered an urban area.

But Suzhou City is different. The major commercial districts of Shangtang, Shantang and Nanhao are all outside the city wall, and the population density is higher than that in the city.

Therefore, the concept of Suzhou City often includes the urban area that extends outside the city wall.

The Suzhou School Book Office, which is quite influential in the entertainment industry, is located in Shangtang outside Changmen.

When Dr. Lin arrived at the school secretary's office with his whip in hand, he saw a group of thugs holding sticks standing inside and outside the gate.

The leader captured yesterday was still being dragged away by Dr. Lin.

Seeing this, Dr. Lin silently pinched the leader's neck, raised it up like a little chicken, and discussed with the thugs: "He is still alive, could you please give way?"

After that, he walked into the gate of the school secretary's office smoothly and was led to the front hall.

At this time, there were three people sitting in the Mingtang. One was dressed as a wealthy man, one was in official robes, and the other was a scholar wearing a Tang scarf and a wide robe and long sleeves.

Lin Tailai guessed that the person who looked like a rich man must be a person in charge of the public office, and the person who was an official was probably from the county government.

In fact, Dr. Lin didn't care about these two people. What he really paid attention to was the scribe.

This man has a baby face, so it's hard to tell how old he is, but he is probably around forty.

If you look closely at the clothes inlaid with gold and jade, and the ivory folding fan in his hand, you can see that he is definitely a rich and noble person, and deserves much more attention than the other two people.

Perhaps because he was afraid that Dr. Lin would use physics to persuade people, he was not asked to come to the hall and was only asked to stand on the platform outside to speak, while the two younger brothers could only stay on the steps.

Among the three people in the hall, Manager Xu from the school book office was like a master who was reviewing the case. He asked aloofly: "Are you Lin Tailai?"

Dr. Lin was completely indifferent to this manager, who in his eyes could only be regarded as a chicken head. He only turned to the wealthy-looking scholar and said: "This gentleman is extraordinary and forgets the world. I dare to ask who is the most famous person in the world." people?"

In his daily life, Dr. Lin has no contact with people in the scholar-bureaucrat circle. Today he finally got a chance to talk to him and decided to give it a try.

It's just that the status of Dr. Lin and the scribe were too far apart. Out of self-cultivation, the scribe casually said, "I'm just a nobody from the Feng family in Songjiang. I don't dare to call myself a master."

Although the tone is humble, it is full of a kind of alienation that is distant from others.

The connotation is, don’t ask me who I am, you and I are not from the same circle.

But Dr. Lin felt that this taste was so right, this was the tone of the family!

Even if you reject someone politely, you still have to subconsciously mention the monk’s name.

Based on the information in the few words, Dr. Lin quickly thought about the aristocratic families in Jiangnan, and immediately added: "But Mr. Wen is in person?"

The scribe immediately opened his round eyes and said in shock, "How can someone like you recognize who I am?"

If you are from a literary and official family in the same circle, you can guess that you are normal, after all, you are familiar with this circle.

But the person in front of him was clearly from the bottom of society. He didn't know whether he was a writer or a thug. Anyway, he had nothing to do with the circle of literary and official families.

But being able to tell who he is at once is surprising.

Dr. Lin has a very good attitude. He just bets casually. If the bet fails, there is no loss. If the bet is successful, won't the opportunity come?

At this time, the information about this wealthy scribe flashed in his mind: Feng Shike, with the courtesy name Yuancheng and the title of Wensuo, was born in the Feng family, a wealthy family in Songjiang, and his father was Feng En, the fourth iron censor.

This man was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing's reign. He was particularly fond of socializing and had a wide network of contacts. His friendships could fill up almost half of the history of late Ming literature.

Also, this person is currently idle at home and appears in Suzhou for unknown reasons.

Feng Shike couldn't help but asked curiously: "How could you recognize me?"

Dr. Lin did not answer this sentence, but first sent him a high hat: "It turns out that he is a descendant of the Fourth Iron Censor. I wonder if the Fourth Iron Censor is still alive?"

Hearing the mention of his father, Feng Shike stood up, saluted eastward, and then replied: "My father passed away nine years ago, and his life span was only eighty-one."

Dr. Lin sighed a few times and said with emotion: "What a pity for such a good official!

I remember that in those days, my father-in-law vigorously cracked down on crime and evil in Nandu. He was known as Feng Qingtian. He was invincible in fighting all over Nandu with a stick of water and fire. He was known as the best stick in the south of the Yangtze River."

Feng Shike was stunned, what kind of mess is all this? But it sounds interesting.

Dr. Lin stopped talking: "I'm sorry, I just listened to a certain online article, ah, no, it was told in a folk tale. I was so quick to speak that I tainted the noble man's ears."

Feng Shike was a little surprised: "Folk stories? Are there really folk stories about my father?"

Think about the most popular folk stories, what kind of officials are they? For example, Bao Gong, such as Di Renjie, so this is another way to leave a name in history.

Dr. Lin smiled and said, "I have indeed heard some of them."

Feng Shike excitedly slapped the table and said, "If you can talk, talk more!"

Suddenly someone in the hall coughed heavily, and Xu Yuanjing, the manager of the school office, looked at Feng Shike speechlessly.

Although Mr. Feng, you are at the right time, but don’t jump out and cause trouble! You're not done talking yet!

Among the three people in the hall, the other one was Secretary Han from the county government's ceremonial office. He helped by saying, "Lin Tailai! I want to ask you a question!"

Lin Tailai didn't even bother to pay attention to the other two Lese, and just talked to Feng Shike: "Master Feng, how come a nobleman like you appears here? This is not the place to talk."

Although Feng Shike was wealthy, he was essentially a cheerful person. Since he was talking speculatively, he replied cheerfully:

“Taicang Danzhou Gong is coming to Suzhou and wants to personally host the literary conference, which is the biggest literary event in the past ten years.

I was thinking about how to welcome the prince! By the way, do you know who Duke Yanzhou is? "

Damn it! Dr. Lin was shocked. Most people may not understand its meaning, but those who are familiar with literary history will understand!

The Duke of Yanzhou is Wang Shizhen, the leader of the world's literary world, and is recognized as the leader in today's literary world!

If placed in a martial arts novel, this would be equivalent to the Wulin Alliance holding a martial arts conference!

While thinking about it, he subconsciously said: "Are we going to select the five disciples of the retro sect again?"

"Can you guess this?" Feng Shike was shocked again!

Isn't this strong man who is either a thug or a writer very knowledgeable about the literary industry? These four consecutive "ands" show that he really understands!

This is even more surprising than being able to guess your own identity!

Wang Shizhen is a leader of the retro sect. Since joining the literary world, he has successively selected three generations of retro sect figures: Guangwuzi, Jiwuzi, and Mowuzi.

If it's hard to understand, just understand it as "Yunhe Jiuxiao".

Now most of the last five sons have died of old age and can no longer support the sect, so it is time to select a new combination of five sons.

Moreover, this was the last time Wang Shizhen selected the five-member group during his lifetime. In a few years, Wang Shizhen would pass away.

At this time, Lin Tailai suddenly remembered that Feng Shike was one of the "Five Men of the Renaissance of Literature" in history, but he was very watery.

The literary world of Ming Dynasty is too dark! Dr. Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Feng Shike, a parallel importer, could be selected as one of the "Five Sons of the Renaissance of Literature".

What's even more sad is that he actually wants to curry favor with the parallel importer in front of him.
