Daming talker

Chapter 114 Very Angry!

Returning from Mudu Town without success today may be Lin Tailai's first setback beyond his control since his debut.

So Professor Lin, who was used to being invincible and under control, was probably in a depressed mood, and spent a whole night with Fan Yuru, the sister-in-law of Heyitang.

As the saying goes, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are informal.

But on the next morning, Professor Lin had another fierce quarrel with Mrs. Fan during the sage time.

Professor Lin still couldn't help accusing Mrs. Fan of being too selfish, that she didn't dare to attack in order to preserve her strength, and would only humiliate herself by humiliating herself.

After the two quarreled, Madam Fan angrily put on her filial piety, scolded Lin Tailai, and left the entrance of Shijia Lane.

Some guys from Heyitang and Anletang were gambling in the front yard to pass the time. Seeing this, they looked at each other and left helplessly.

After that, Lin Tailai slept in the room until the afternoon.

When he came out of the inner courtyard with a yawn, he saw Gao Changjiang waiting outside the courtyard gate.

"The side of the tea house is your main position. What are you doing here?" Lin Zuoguan asked in confusion, "Is it because the work is too idle, or is the salary too much?"

Gao Changjiang: "."

He is regarded as a military advisor by the club guys!He is not content to just act as a sounding board!He wants to take on more important responsibilities for the society!
With the enthusiasm of being the master who strives forward, Gao Changjiang very positively reminded:

"As I said yesterday, the Second Master of the Shen Mansion sent someone to invite him to come to the Shen Mansion to meet him as soon as possible."

Lin Tailai said impatiently: "But I also said yesterday, I won't see you for now!"

Gao Changjiang sighed secretly, the biggest problem with sitting in the hall is that he is too casual in doing things.

Presumably the main reason is that there is a lack of a person who dares to speak up around the hall, and Gao Changjiang is the candidate to fill this role!
With the mind of being an "advocate minister", Gao Changjiang blocked the gate of the courtyard and urged:

"But I think that sitting in the hall should go to Shen's mansion immediately!"

Lin Tailai directly pushed Gao Changjiang away, "Don't get in the way! I'm very angry now!"

The Zhang family brothers asked: "Where are you going to sit in the hall?"

Lin Tailai thought for a while, and replied, "I'm so angry! Go to the city to play with Sun Shiyi!"

Gao Changjiang interjected vigorously from the side: "Sit in the restaurant! This is not the time to indulge in peace and happiness!
The first setback in expansion will definitely trigger a chain reaction in all the outlets of the rivers and lakes, and it needs to be dealt with carefully!
The old leader of the retro faction is still hostile to sitting in the hall, and may make another trick at any time!

The relationship between the Shen government needs to be further established and stabilized, as the strong backing of the hall!

At this critical juncture, sitting in the restaurant must not be indulged! "

Lin Tailai turned a deaf ear and walked out.And the Zhang family brothers called their immediate staff, and followed Lin to sit in the hall.

Seeing the absurdity and depravity of sitting in the hall, the distraught Gao Changjiang trotted after him, raised his hand and shouted:

"Even if you didn't succeed yesterday, you can't be decadent and let yourself sit in the hall!

One failure is nothing, only perseverance is a real man, please sit back and think twice! "

But Lin Zuoguan still turned a deaf ear, disappeared into the alley, and walked towards Xumen again.

Entering the city at this time, it is obvious that he does not intend to go out of the city at night, and directly spends the night in the city.

Gao Changjiang slumped to hold the door, looked up to the sky and sighed, it really is a loyal word, it is difficult to give a direct remonstrance!
And the Zhang family brothers, who are confidantes and close ministers, only know how to eat, drink and have fun, but they don't have a few words of advice. Is it a long-term solution?

At this moment, Zhang Erlang and Zhang Wu trotted back and greeted: "Old Gao! I have something to say in the hall!"

Gao Changjiang said pleasantly: "Could it be that you have changed your mind after sitting in the restaurant?"

Zhang Wu replied: "The sitting in the hall is just to say that the county test is still ten days away.

If an outsider asks, they will say that they are going to register for the county exam and review their homework soon! "

Gao Changjiang said angrily: "If you don't think about the difficulties of the current situation, if you indulge in wine and beauties and forget your worries, you will die forever!"

It's just that young people can't stand the setbacks, and they don't want to face the fig leaf of their first failure!

Even if you really have to prepare for the county exam, did you go to the beauty's house to review your homework?
He asked again: "You two brothers are the confidantes who have been following the hall for the longest time. Are you just sitting idly by?"

Zhang Wu sighed and said: "We used to be as passionate as you, but later found out that we should go through the probationary period first."

After delivering the message, Zhang Wu trotted to catch up with the sitting hall and his party again.

Sun Mei’s family, No. 11 in the flower list, lives near Qujia Bridge in the north of the city. When it comes to these ancient place names, Lin Tailai, the traveler, wants to complain about a certain poet emperor in the Qing Dynasty.

Qujia Bridge was changed to Jiejia Bridge, and Shiquan Street was changed to Shiquan Street. This is probably the biggest "influence" of a generation of emperors on Suzhou.

This time at Sun Meiren's house, Professor Lin spent three nights and two days in absurdity.

During this period, Gao Changjiang knocked on the door several times and remonstrated bitterly, and he almost wrote a blood letter, but all of them returned in vain.

It was not until the third morning that Professor Lin reappeared in public.

"Go, go find Mr. Zhang Youyu!" Lin Tailai ordered the Zhang brothers.

There are less than ten days left before the county examination, and it's time to sign up.

However, you can't sign up if you want to sign up. You must find a local student member (that is, a scholar) as a guarantee.

In order to ensure that the examinee is innocent, not a prostitute or a slave, and not a fake one, a funeral, a substitute, a pseudonym, etc.

This is also one of the sources of livelihood for scholars. Generally, they need to collect money for guaranteeing others.

Professor Lin thought for a while, and he didn't know many scholars.

Since he is a local, and his fame is only a scholar, it seems that the only one who can help him is Zhang Youyu.
More importantly, Zhang Youyu may also be free, without spending money!

It is not far from Zhangjia and Qiuzhi Garden, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there.

Lin Tailai had just walked to the door of the courtyard where Zhang Youyu lived, and was about to knock on the door, when Zhang Youyu, who was wearing a floral dress, happened to come out from the courtyard.

Looking up to see the majestic figure outside the door, Zhang Youyu asked in surprise, "Why is your face so haggard and decadent?"

Lin Tailai said indifferently: "There are people who are more emaciated than me! I am here today because I have something to help Mr. Yu.

I plan to take the county test, but the registration requires the guarantee of a student member from the county."

Having said that, Professor Lin stopped, his hint was very clear.

But Zhang Youyu didn't seem to understand the hint, and said indifferently: "And then?"

Lin Tailai had no choice but to express it instead of hinting, "With our friendship, please ask the old gentleman to help you as a guarantor."

Zhang Youyu sneered and responded: "What kind of friendship are we? You have been green on my friendship three times in a row?"

Lin Tailai hurriedly said: "The joke is just a joke, just laugh it off! Exams are a serious matter in life, please take it seriously!"

"I will definitely not help you! Give up!" Zhang Youyu waved his sleeves and refused coldly. He has never been so tough on Lin Tailai!

Lin Tailai said angrily: "I never thought Mr. Young Yu would be so ruthless and unreasonable!
Without you Zhang butcher, can you still eat hairy pigs?The big deal is to spend money to find someone to guarantee it! "

Zhang Youyu lowered his head and sighed deeply, squeezing out a little tear

"Oh, I never imagined that in your Lin Tailai's mind, I, Zhang Youyu, would be such a small-hearted person!

Obviously you cheated on me three times, but it seems like I owe you! "

Lin Tailai: "???"

What the old man said again, I couldn't understand at all.

Zhang Youyu exclaimed triumphantly: "I am from Changzhou, I learned from Changzhou County! You are from Wu County, not Yi County!

how can I help you?How can I guarantee you? "

Lin Tailai: "."

This damned division of county boundaries, one city and two counties is too easy for people to ignore the difference between county boundaries!

Zhang Youyu asked: "You tell me loudly, who is making trouble for no reason?"

Lin Tailai quibbled and said, "Then why are you always wandering around our Wu County border? It's easy to be misunderstood!"

Zhang Youyu replied: "The canal is on the west side of the city, so the west side of the city is more lively, of course I like to do activities in the west side!
There are many lakes in the east of Changzhou County. Do you, Lin Tailai, only like to watch lakes and eat crabs and lotus roots? "

Lin Tailai was at a loss for words, turned around and left without saying a word.

Since you Zhang Youyu can't help you, what are you still doing here?

Zhang Youyu laughed loudly, feeling that he had finally gained the upper hand over Lin Tailai, so he quickly grabbed Lin Tailai again:
"Don't hurry, you didn't come in vain today! My elder brother has a play to watch!"

Zhang Fengyi, the eldest of the three, is a famous opera master today, who has improved Kunqu opera.

This person has been obsessed with opera all his life, and the famous "Red Fu Ji" was his work when he was 19 years old.

Zhang Youyu introduced again: "Today's performance is Pipa Ji!"

"Pipa Ji" is also a very famous piece. The male and female protagonists are Cai Bojie and Zhao Wuniang respectively.

Professor Lin, who is aspiring to the literary world, is still a little interested in the matter of cultural people, so he asked, "Who will play?"

Zhang Youyu introduced proudly: "My brother came on stage in person to play Cai Bojie!"

Lin Tailai curled his lips, who cares about who the leading actor is when watching a movie?
He asked again: "Actually, I want to know who will play Zhao Wuniang."

Zhang Youyu replied: "The person who plays Zhao Wuniang is my brother's second son!"

Lin Tailai: "."

Is your old Zhang family so good at playing?

The father plays the heroine on stage, and the son plays the heroine on stage. Is this art a bit too pioneering?
Zhang Youyu said as he walked, "There are a lot of people coming to watch, maybe there are scholars from Wu County, so you can find someone to protect you on the spot?"

Will someone really come to see it?With a curious attitude, Professor Lin followed Zhang Youyu to another courtyard of the Zhang family.

This time Zhang Youyu didn't brag, the courtyard was really full of people, even the courtyard gate was full of people, many people actually came here just because of the fame!

Mr. Zhang Fengyi and his son, the master of opera, performed on stage in person. It was a famous entertainment scene in Suzhou City, and it must be crowded with spectators.

Fortunately, under the leadership of Zhang Youyu, the master, Professor Lin was able to occupy a place in the front row.

The front row is full of scholars of some status, maybe there are really talents from Wu County.

Professor Lin looked left and right, sized up the scholars around him, wondering if he could find a "guarantor".

Beside him was a man in his 30s with delicate features and wearing the iconic square scarf, very much like a student at school.

Professor Lin tried to talk decisively and said: "Your Excellency seems familiar, but I don't know your name? Can I enroll?"

Lin Tailai's ability to sit here shows that his relationship with the Zhang family must be okay.

So the man replied truthfully: "My next Linchuan Tang Xianzu is from Nanjing.

The purpose is to visit Mr. Lingxu, a famous Nanqu master, and he is temporarily living in Qiuzhi Garden. "

Lin Tailai: "."

It's really useless to ask, this person will definitely not be able to be his own guarantor.

It seems reasonable for future theater masters to visit another opera master in Suzhou.

Then Professor Lin thought of the Peony Pavilion in Qiuzhi Garden, which is really not a coincidence.

　In history, Tang Xianzu actually visited Zhang Fengyi, and it was rumored that he was very envious of Qiuzhi Garden. After he resigned from office and returned to his hometown, he imitated and repaired one, and then wrote Linchuan Four Dreams.
