Daming talker

Chapter 304 The first day of public activities
The next day, Daguan Lin, as the most promising figure in the Lin family for eight generations, the holder of dual academic titles including Wu Zhuangyuan and Jiawen Xiucai, and the first official of the Lin family, personally presided over the ancestor worship ceremony.

Then there is a big banquet and the whole village is invited to eat. Anyway, the villagers are either named Lin or Song, and are either relatives from the same family or relatives from the natal family.

The weather is still a bit hot in early July, so the banquet can be held in the open air, from the ancestral hall to Shenming Pavilion.

In addition to the relatives of the village and the Suzhou guards who paid tribute, some close people who had followed earlier also rushed over and were eligible to participate in the table.

For example, the nephew of the famous literary and artist Tang Bohu, Old Tang from the fish market in Hengtang Town, was placed in the elders' seat.

When Lin Daguan came over to persuade me to drink, he asked drunkenly: "Back then, you advised me to accumulate a lot of money in the fish market and build a steady business. How is my foundation today?"

Old Man Tang carefully replied: "It feels like a lifetime ago."

Official Lin patted Old Man Tang on the shoulder, "Look, why are you still so reserved?"

Old Man Tang still replied cautiously: "Today is different from the past."

Lin Daguan said dissatisfiedly: "I'm a stranger. I'm your uncle's spiritual successor. How can you be so different from me?"

Old Man Tang was very resistant to this statement, "Don't talk nonsense, don't you claim to be the spiritual successor of Xu Wenchang?"

As the first person to follow Lin Zuiguan to lay the foundation for his career, Mr. Tang also knew Lin Zuiguan the most. He seemed to be trying to mess with celebrities again, even his own uncle who had been dead for 60 years!

What kind of spirit is passed down from generation to generation?

Lin Daguanren explained: "Xu Wenchang is the second generation and I am the third generation. This statement was designated by the leader Wang Lao and was imposed by the outside world.

In fact, the spiritual mentor I recognize in my heart is senior Tang Liuru. "

Old Man Tang was so disgusted that he couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "What on earth do you want to do? In order to become a member of the Tang clan, do you accept me as your adoptive father!"

Since we can't get rid of it, let's disgust each other!

The Suzhou Guard commander, colleagues and officials at the next table were shocked when they heard this.

They all looked sideways, wondering how this ordinary old man dared to talk so openly to Lin Tailai. They should not mess with him in the future.

Lin Tailai was not angry, and said with a smile: "I heard that the cemetery of senior Tang Bohu has been renovated?"

Old Man Tang said vigilantly: "I have already asked Wen Zhengming's grandson Wenyuan to write the story of rebuilding the cemetery, so I don't need you!"

Lin Daguan continued: "Look at my poem yesterday. I don't admire immortals or sit in meditation. I just wait for my life experience to disappear. I said that my articles will be there after my death, but I regret that my surname will be passed down during my lifetime.

Do these sentences have the temperament of senior Tang Liuru?Can it be engraved on the cemetery screen wall or next to the tombstone?
Let the descendants who come to pay homage to the elders know that Tang Liuru's cultural heritage is endless. "

Old man Tang: "."

Official Lin glanced at him, and Uncle Song Quan, the chief planner of the Anletang Society, came over and enthusiastically advised: "Old Tang, you don't want to see Tang Bohu's cultural heritage cut off, right?"

Old Man Tang said angrily: "You are his serious elder, why are you forced by him to talk nonsense?"

Song Quan even laughed out of his crow's feet: "Lin Tailai agreed to let me go to Mudu Port Customs to take over the position of chief accountant.

The original chief accountant Ma Yingming took over the position of chief official. After all, Lin Tailai was already an official and was not suitable to occupy the position of chief official again. "

Old Man Tang, who knew Lin Tailai's urinary properties completely, gritted his teeth and said, "Only this song can be engraved in the cemetery."

Lin Tailai said sincerely: "How can one song express my admiration for senior Tang Liuru? Twenty songs."

"Four songs at most, don't go too far!" Old Man Tang said angrily.

If twenty of Lin Tailai's works are really engraved, is it his uncle Tang Bohu's cemetery or Lin Tailai's poetry garden?You can't rub it hard like this!
Official Lin sighed, "Okay, deal! It's true that the older you get, the stingier you get."

Lin Tailai got very drunk that day and fell asleep directly in the yellow mud wall room of the old house.

If he hadn't drunk too much, he might not have been able to sleep. After all, he hadn't slept in a room like this for a long time.

The next morning, after waking up from a hangover, Lin Daguan was in a daze for a while before gradually regaining consciousness.

He didn't have much appetite to eat, so he just exercised in the courtyard. After all, his body was the capital of his career and should not be ignored.

Gao Changjiang came in from outside the fence with a dozen or so waiters. Now Gao Changjiang also had some hands at his disposal at any time.

Then Gao Changjiang asked Lin Daguan for instructions: "How to arrange today's itinerary? Please sit down and tell me."

Lin Daguan said dissatisfiedly: "Old Gao, why don't you have any subjective initiative now?

If I have to consider everything directly, then what's the use of subordinates like you? "

Gao Changjiang: "."

I remember at the beginning, I also thought about becoming Chen Gong, but who extinguished this passion!

Now, on the other hand, he dislikes himself for not taking the initiative, and it is too difficult to serve him in this restaurant!

Dissatisfaction arose spontaneously, and Gao Changjiang subconsciously blurted out: "The only person I'm sitting here to teach you is that I'm lazy."

Lin Daguan said happily: "Children can be taught, as long as they know their shortcomings. Now tell me, how should we arrange today?"

Gao Changjiang, who is already very resistant to PUA, analyzed: "Today is the first time since I officially returned to Suzhou City that I have publicly dealt with the outside world.

The entire community, including many others, are paying attention, so it is very symbolic.

Therefore, today’s activities in the studio are not only for myself, but also for others to see.

There are probably several options. The first is to take office in Suzhou Wei, which will strengthen others' recognition of the official's identity and indicate that the focus of affairs has shifted to official duties. "

Official Lin waved his hand: "No hurry, no rush! Being so anxious to take up the post makes you look like you have never seen the world. You can't even take a mere commanding officer seriously."

Gao Changjiang changed his suggestion and said: "Maybe you can go to Mudu Port to inspect the customs, and also inspect the New Wulian, and warn the whole city that sitting in a restaurant will always be the leader above the leader!"

Official Lin continued to wave his hands: "No, no, no! I have already handed over my position as the head of the customs. It is not justified to go on inspection at this time."

And now that I am an official, I have become close to the community as soon as I took office, which has a bad influence.

And go to Mrs. Fan in Mudu Town first. Huang Wumei from Hengtang Town will definitely be dissatisfied, so why bother asking for trouble. "

Gao Changjiang added: "Then why not go to the city and pay a visit to the Shen Mansion?"

Official Lin was still dissatisfied, "Doesn't it seem like I'm following the crowd? I'm an official now, and I'll soon have a relative who is the Minister of Household Affairs. I can't always be misunderstood that I'm still a disciple of the Shen family."

Gao Changjiang stopped talking and looked at the sky. This won't work, and that won't work either. Do whatever you want!
Lin Daguan said in a leisurely way: "As a person, you must have the heart to learn. Although I am a military minister, I must also set an example." Gao Changjiang tried: "Is it possible that I am going to visit the master Zhang Youyu today? Old gentleman?"

I can’t tell, but I’m still a bit innocent in sitting in the hotel, because there is actually no practical benefit in visiting Zhang Youyu today.

Lin Tailai couldn't bear it and said: "I'm talking about the desire to learn, not respect for teachers! Have you forgotten that I am still a student in the government?
In order to create an image of being diligent in learning, should I first visit a government school?After all, culture and education in Suzhou are prosperous, so I cannot fall behind. "

Gao Changjiang suddenly realized it and finally touched the pulse gate of Zuiguan. He turned around and said to his subordinates: "Go to the front station and lead a few people into the city quickly to open the Canglang Pavilion garden!"

The guy looked confused and thought he heard wrongly.

Sitting in the pavilion is obviously about Fu Xue, so why did Mr. Gao go to Canglang Pavilion to stand in front of it?

Gao Changjiang shouted in a low voice: "Idiot! Don't you know that Canglang Pavilion is right next to the Mansion School!"

So Mr. Lin washed his face and set off. This time he entered the city from Panmen in the southwest corner, which was relatively close to Canglang Pavilion in the south of the city.

On the way, Lin Daguan felt a little disgusted again, "The location of Canglang Pavilion is a bit remote. It is not close to the downtown area in the west or north of the city."

Gao Changjiang responded indifferently: "Wouldn't it be better to be quiet like this? In the city, being close to the bustling city is nothing. Being able to find peace in the middle of the bustle is the important thing."

"That's right!" Lin Daguan also thought about it.

The layout of Canglang Pavilion is still the same, surrounded by water and built with a wall. Through the wall, you can see the rockery in the southwest corner of the garden.

This layout was originally described by Lin Daguan as saying that with a little repair, it would become a fortress with a moat.

At this time, the main entrance of Canglang Pavilion is in the north, facing Han Shizhong Temple in the north across a small river. The main entrance can only be entered through a small bridge.

Lin Daguan, surrounded by his entourage, walked along the trail to visit the Canglang Pavilion Garden. There are all kinds of pavilions, bamboo forests, water surfaces, and rockeries. They were divided into three or four scenery sections. After boarding the simple Canglang Pavilion, they Can look around the garden.

Gao Changjiang introduced the situation to Lin Tailai and said: "I have investigated several times and found that Canglang Pavilion is not suitable to be directly converted into residential buildings.

The existing landscape was originally built according to the garden ornamental pattern. If it is converted into residential buildings, the landscape will be destroyed.

Moreover, Canglang Pavilion is surrounded by water. This is its biggest feature, but it also limits expansion.

Therefore, it is impossible to expand the house next to it and connect it to the garden. "

Official Lin asked noncommittally: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Gao Changjiang only said: "When Canglang Pavilion was owned by Han Shizhong, the residential areas of Han Mansion were all in the northern area, which is now Han Shizhong Temple.

The Canglang Pavilion is located to the south of Han's residence and is connected by a bridge. It is not in Han Shizhong's residence. "

In fact, the commanding height of the Canglang Pavilion garden at this time is not the Canglang Pavilion on the rockery, but another rockery piled up with soil in the southwest corner.

Finally, Lin Daguan climbed to the commanding heights and looked around.

Looking to the west, we can see outside the city through the Panmen. The weather is clear today, and we can vaguely see the mountains to the west.

"Is that Yaofeng?" Lin Daguan pointed at the looming mountain shadow, "Is there a saying that King Wu's Gusu Terrace is there? You can actually see the mountain shadow to the west. This Canglang Pavilion garden is really Treasure place.”

Nearby to the west is Suzhou Fufu School, next to Canglang Pavilion.At least in the next three years, Lin Daguan's reputation in the liberal arts will be anchored here.

After looking at the academy for a few times, Lin Daguan made another comment: "If I have a daughter in the future, she will not be allowed to set foot here. Otherwise, how can I be a scholar here?"

Looking to the north, Han Shizhong Temple is nearby.Gao Changjiang just introduced that this was originally a residential area supporting Canglang Pavilion, but now it has been changed to Han Shizhong Temple.

If you want to live here, the most suitable location for a residential area is Han Shizhong Temple, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

In today's concept, casually demolishing a temple dedicated to the sages is like kicking down a widow's door and digging out a family's grave. It is an act that lacks great virtue. Lin Daguan does not dare to bear this reputation.

Official Lin didn't think of a good solution for a moment, so he could only calm down his thoughts and continue to look eastward.

"Huh?" Lin Daguan frowned when he saw it, "Why are these monks still here?"

To the east of Canglang Pavilion is Dayun Nunnery, which was also the original manager of Canglang Pavilion.

Gao Changjiang was speechless. Our association only took Canglang Pavilion from the hands of the monk Dayun'an, but it did not destroy Dayun'an. Of course, Dayun'an is still in the same place.

Lin Daguan said very domineeringly: "I am a person who respects the orthodox Qi science and worships the sages of all ages!
So I don’t like Buddhism and Taoism, and I don’t like having a monk temple at my doorstep! "

Gao Changjiang said a little irritably: "Don't frame it while you're here, just tell him how to deal with it and we'll be done with it!"

Lin Tailai: "."

Isn't it customary for me to set up memorial arches? Why is Lao Gao so impatient?Auntie is here again today?
In the recent spring breeze, Lin Daguan was not as experienced as the old man, and said:

“What I mean is to move all the monks from Dayun Nunnery to other places, and then move the Han Shizhong Temple to the original site of Dayun Nunnery!

They are all ancestral temples anyway, so you don’t even need to change the architectural pattern, just replace the statues. "

As for how the original site of Han Shizhong Temple will be used after it is moved to Dayun Nunnery, it’s hard to say.

The current land of Han Shizhong Temple and Canglang Pavilion were matched in ancient times. It is not an exaggeration to restore the ancient pattern.

Of course, this job belongs to Gao Changjiang. He couldn't help but burst into tears. His ambition used to be Chen Gong, but what has he become now?

After Lin Daguan planned and guided the Canglang Pavilion project restoration project, the sky was approaching evening.

Coming out of Canglang Pavilion, Suzhou Fuxue is to the east. After thinking that there was still some time, Lin Daguan went to Fuxue.

After all, today is the first public event, and my desire to learn needs to be expressed.

It is necessary to discuss with the instructor about the academic arrangements for the next three years and how to ensure your qualifications as a junior student.

When Lin Tailai and his party appeared outside the gate, the dim-eyed gatekeeper shouted: "It's about to be closed and locked! Please go back!"

Before he finished speaking, the Academy Gate was thrown into the pan pool inside the gate. He fluttered a few times but did not dare to climb up.

Crouching in the pool, Menzi shouted: "A thief broke into the door!"

Zhang Wu, the right protector, ran over and cursed: "I don't need to report anything when I sit in the palace and enter the prime minister's gate, but how dare I make a fuss about it when I enter the gate of your mansion!"

Protector Zuo Zhang Wen curled his lips and said: "This school is indeed the coldest yamen. I don't even know the disciples who sit in the school."

Officer Lin glanced at the door in the pool and ordered: "Don't worry about him, let him shout. Calling the instructor out will save us the trouble of going in to look for him again."
