The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

The evening before the Qiuzhiyuan Gathering, Lin Tailai was wearing a long-sleeved gown and carrying a big gun, ready to go.

The big gun is four meters long, and the head is extremely unusual, shaped like a dagger, almost half a meter long.

So this big gun looks very majestic, and there is a wine gourd on the head of the gun.

Qi Shaobao was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to do?"

Lin Tailai said eloquently: "I heard that there was a mad man named Hu Yinglin who was regarded as the successor by Wang Shizhen, but he publicly humiliated the old hero!

Tomorrow Hu Yinglin will appear at the Qiuzhiyuan Gathering, accompanying Wang Shizhen, waiting for me to avenge this old hero! "

Qi Shaobao: "."

No wonder Lin Tailai couldn't wait to ask for the so-called powerful water gun from him, just to use it as a prop.

There are rumors in the literary world that at a party in West Lake the year before last, Wang Daokun's younger brother Wang Daoguan once attacked Hu Yinglin.

The two literary figures present, Wang Shizhen and Wang Daokun, hurriedly didn't know how to break it down. In the end, Qi Jiguang came forward to smooth things over.

But Hu Yinglin did not dare to scold Wang Daoguan in return. Instead, he insulted Qi Jiguang who tried to smooth things over.

In the end, Qi Jiguang was so angry that he left on the spot, and the banquet broke up unhappy.

This incident has also been adapted into a play, something like "Xuetu Hu got drunk and made a fuss at the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake, while General Qi's soldiers were defeated and fled to Wansongling".

Qi Shaobao couldn't help but sigh: "If you want to go to the Yaji, go and do it. Why bother using me, a poor and retired veteran, as an excuse?"

Lin Tailai wanted to ask, old man, are you too into the drama? There's no end to poverty, right?

"Actually, it wasn't exactly what the rumors said." Qi Shaobao also wanted to explain a few words.

But Professor Lin simply chose to cover his ears and would never listen.

Since it is rumored that Hu Yinglin passionately insulted the old man, it must have been a passionate insult!

Then he carried the mighty water gun and the wine gourd, and strode out.

The reason why we have to leave for the elegant gathering tomorrow is because the Zhang family’s Qiuzhi Garden is in the city.

Between night and early morning, the city gates will be closed and locked. If Professor Lin wants to sneak in early tomorrow morning, he will have to enter the city early tonight.

The next day, when it was getting dark, Lin Tailai stood outside the small gate of Qiuzhiyuan with a big gun.

An old servant of the Zhang family was in charge of responding, but when the old servant saw the big gun in Professor Lin's hand, he said suspiciously: "You can't carry weapons."

Professor Lin showed the tip of the gun to the old servant, "It has not been sharpened, it is just a look. It is used as a ritual weapon in the army!

This is Qi Shaobao's powerful water gun, it's not something without origin! "

In this way, Professor Lin was secretly brought into the garden and lurked temporarily.

In the early morning, Feng Shike, the organizer of the gathering, and Zhang Fengyi, the owner of Qiuzhi Garden, came to the garden gate together to inspect the preparatory work and prepare to welcome guests.

The two were walking and chatting, and Zhang Fengyi said: "This time Wang Yuanmei selects the new five sons, you should be able to succeed in the literary field. After all, Wang Yuanmei is willing to come to your gathering today."

Feng Shike replied: "Actually, Mr. Fengzhou came here today out of anger. He has no partiality towards me."

The leader of the literary circle, Wang Shizhen, had a courtesy name of Yuanmei, his nickname was Fengzhou, and in his later years, he was called Danzhou Shanren, so these terms all refer to the leader Wang Lao.

Zhang Fengyi then hinted: "I have something to say beforehand. There may be unexpected people at this gathering. I can't help but be kind, so I hope I won't be surprised."

Feng Shike sighed and said: "I knew that person would never bear to keep his name and remain anonymous.

But if you let him in secretly, you won't be afraid of Mr. Fengzhou complaining about you. "

Zhang Fengyi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, all the responsibilities can be placed on You Yu."

The meaning is very simple. Who would have the nerve to argue with a crazy lunatic?

Mr. Feng Er was probably a loyal man, so he hesitated and said, "But, I am younger than him."

Zhang Fengyi said nonchalantly: "Don't worry! It's not the first time that Youyu has been blamed for something embarrassing that happened to the Zhang family!"

Feng Shike was still confused: "But Xiao Yu is standing behind you right now."

Zhang Fengyi suddenly turned around and said hello to the ghost-faced colorful robe who appeared at an unknown time:

"Haha, my second brother has become thinner and thinner recently, and even walks quietly."

The area of ​​Zhangjia Qiuzhi Garden is not small. It is almost equivalent to four or five standard football fields. It is considered to be a medium-sized garden among today's gardens.

There is a rockery in the garden with a pavilion built on it. It is obvious that this is the most important place for distinguished guests.

At the foot of the rockery, water was diverted to create a stream surrounding the mountain.

A wooden bridge was built over the creek as the only way in and out of the rockery.

Around the rockery, there are several verandas surrounding the small lake, where dozens of people can sit.

This area is the main venue of today's gathering.

Professor Lin temporarily hid in a nearby bamboo forest, covered by a layer of vines and green plants, making it difficult to find traces outside.

After looking at the main venue of the Yaji, Professor Lin was very satisfied with the geographical situation.

Just wait for the important guests to walk across the bridge and onto the rockery, then rush out and occupy the bridge, and no one behind will be able to leave!

Professor Lin felt a little uncomfortable due to the heavy dew in the early morning, so he temporarily walked outside the bamboo forest and vines.

But then he saw the old servant of the Zhang family who was guarding the small door walking towards this side with two more people.

After he came over, the old servant said to Lin Tai: "You two hide here together."

Lin Tailai was speechless. It was not only one person who dared to "smuggle" in, but there were other people who were not qualified to be invited and came to sneak in?

How many favors did Zhang Fengyi sell?

However, one of the two newcomers knew the young version of Feng Menglong, and the other looked to be Feng Menglong's father.

Lin Tailai tried to say hello: "Could it be Doctor Feng in person?"

According to research, Feng Menglong's family is a family of Confucian medicine and has published medical books. It is well-known in Suzhou and has contacts with some literati.

Feng Shu was looking at the majestic man in front of him, wondering who he was, and was surprised when he heard this, "Do you recognize me?"

Lin Tailai smiled and said: "I am very familiar with Shopkeeper Feng of Wulong Teahouse, and I often go to his place.

Moreover, she and her son Feng Menglong hit it off immediately and agreed to take the county examination together next month! "

Saying this made Feng Shu feel quite close.

Although he didn't understand how the giant man and his son could hit it off immediately, he still responded: "So they are not outsiders. You want to take the exam together?"

Xiao Feng Menglong asked anxiously: "When did I agree to take the county exam with you?"

Then he said to his father: "He is the Iron Fist and the Golden Whip! He is not a scholar!"

Lin Tailai said casually: "My son and I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I want to share some thoughts about the exam alone."

Then Professor Lin carried little Feng Menglong into the bamboo forest and whispered:

"You don't want your father to know, have you seen The Golden Lotus?"

Xiao Feng Menglong: "."

Lin Tailai added: "I heard that in the county examination, the original text of the Four Books must be memorized, but I haven't memorized it yet.

I will think of a way to put us next to each other, and let me copy it when the time comes. "

Xiao Feng Menglong: "."

After the two of them finished speaking, they returned to Feng Shu.

Looking at Feng Menglong's father who was confused, Professor Lin only said: "I am also the county government secretary."

So Feng Menglong's father's attitude returned to enthusiasm.

Everyone in the world knows that this kind of character may not accomplish enough, but he always has more than enough bad things.

Several more people came one after another, and everyone hid in the bamboo forest.

It's all about the streets, there's no intrigue, it's a lot of fun, and we even talked about which corner is more comfortable.

Some people can climb up to the rockery pavilion, while others can only stay on the lower corridor of the rockery.

Some people can only hide in the bamboo forest and watch from a distance, while some people can't even get in. This is the class difference.

In the morning, the core crowd of the gathering appeared. They were talking and laughing as they slowly crossed the bridge and climbed to the rockery.

At first, Lin Tailai thought it would be annoying to hide in the bamboo forest with a group of thugs, but later he discovered that these thugs also had their uses.

Even though it’s just a fling, you’ve learned a lot!

Without these “popular science” tips, I wouldn’t even be able to recognize all the big guys attending the conference.

Wang Shizhen, the leader of the world literary circle and one of the seven sons of the retro school!

Wu Guolun, another living literary figure from Hubei, is one of the seven post-retro school disciples!

The younger brother of Wang Daokun, the leader of the Xin'an faction, Wang Daoguan, known as Xiao Sima in the world, is from Huizhou!

Wen Yuanfa also brought his twelve-year-old son, Wen Zhenmeng, the star of hope for the Wen family's imperial examinations and the future number one scholar!

The remaining few were all known to or seen by Professor Lin.

And Feng Shike, the big dog owner from Songjiang, the future martyr of the retro sect, and the last disciple of the retro sect.

Feng Menglong's father still wanted to chat with Lin Tailai, but he saw Lin Tailai holding a big gun and staring at these literary superstars intently, with an expression like a beast ambushing its prey.

Professor Lin seeks Zhiyuan through hardships?
