469 Talking about the collapse (II)
Lin Youde did mean this, he insinuated that Chen Xiansong's belly was not big enough, this is a very normal way of communication for scholars, and he tried to turn a corner when he spoke, and the same is true for scolding. Moreover, the scholars of the Aurora Kingdom highly respected this way of speaking, and they thought that speaking directly and straightforwardly was a kind of rudeness, and that the scholars should be full of meaning when they spoke.
Most of the scholars who grew up in this environment have developed a habit of quoting scriptures and classics when speaking, and there must be other words in the words, which must be twisted and turned, and must give people a feeling of being in the clouds. If you don't understand, it means that you are not elegant, or even uneducated, and you deserve not to understand.
In this dark age, the lofty attitude of the literati can indeed make those ordinary people who are illiterate or have little knowledge feel the 'superiority' of the other party, and then after more than 2,000 years, the scholar has successfully raised his class status to an almost exaggerated, even almost mythical level.
Lin Youde is used to this way of speaking, he clearly praised Chang Zhiqiu and secretly damaged Chen Xiansong, thinking that the other party could only suffer secretly like this, but he didn't expect the other party to say it openly, and with a questioning attitude. He had lived for more than forty years, and he had never seen such a scholar, and for a time he was so shocked that he could not speak.
A few days ago, Chang Zhiqiu was also choked by Chen Xiansong's way of speaking, and this time Lin Youde's reaction was slower than Chang Zhiqiu.
Chen Xiansong was not in a hurry, he drank tea slowly. Wait for Lin Youde to come back to his senses.
After a while, Lin Youde smiled awkwardly: "Brother Chen Xian, I didn't mean that." You are mistaken. ”
I have to say that although Lin Youde is not very accustomed to Chen Xiansong's way of speaking, his ability to take advantage of others without a trace when he speaks is still very strong. Chen Xiansong raised his eyebrows slightly, and he said slowly: "I can't dare to respond to this virtuous brother, the two elders of our family call me my grandfather." If I agree, will they also have to call you Grandpa in the future, two people who are dying will call you Grandpa. Where does this put the face of our old Chen family? ”
Lin Youde laughed: "Let's talk about each other." ”
"There is no such thing. In terms of seniority, I've only heard of it on the mercenary side. Chen Xiansong smiled: "You Donglin Society didn't say that the mercenaries were vulgar, how could they use their methods to act." ”
Lin Youde's face was a little embarrassed, how long had it been since anyone dared to slap him in the face so openly. It's been more than 20 years. Since he became a scholar, since his cousin became the president of the Donglin Society, who dares to talk to him like this, even the Fifth Nine Supreme Talking to him, it is also a two-point lowering of his status, leaving only eight points of domineering.
But this little guy in front of him dared to do this, no wonder his cousin came back a few days ago. I was so angry that my beard was almost gone.
The mouth is so tricky, and the qi cultivation kung fu seems to be poor. If it goes on like this, Lin Youde knows that he will probably follow in the footsteps of Chang Zhiqiu, he took a slight breath and said, "Okay, the elder of the old Chen family, I call you that, there's no problem." You are a scholar, and as a member of the scholar, you hope that you can hand over your magic and solve your doubts for the vast number of scholars. ”
"Oh, I'm not fake, but why should I hand it over."
"Scholars are one with each other, and only by sincerely helping each other can we teach the world." Lin Youde said lightly: "Sage Yan said that it is necessary to hide secrets, and it is even more important to see the door. ”
Chen Xiansong laughed: "Well, indeed, Sage Yan is right, but I'm a little strange, why do you want me to hand over the magic arts, instead of you begging me to teach you, you know, although they are all for you to learn the magic arts, but the difference is very big." ”
Lin Youde naturally knew that the difference was not great, he touched his beard and said: "As a member of the scholars, whether you enter the Donglin Society or not, but I think you will definitely be taken care of directly or indirectly by the Donglin Society, and now is the time for you to return the favor." ”
"Don't ......" Chen Xiansong waved his hand: "Since I was born, there have been many people who have helped me, but I am sure that there is absolutely no one from the Donglin Society, and there is not even the possibility of indirectly helping me, it can be so much, after I know that there is an organization of the Donglin Society, I have already had a very unpleasant quarrel with you, don't use these words to squeeze me, besides, when did I say that I am a scholar, I have not registered with the Donglin Society." ”
Lin Youde squinted his eyes, indeed, Chen Xiansong's appearance was very abrupt, Donglin Society did not have any information about him, only a few thin pages collected recently, not much information.
"You don't think it matters if you're a scholar or not?"
Chen Xiansong nodded: "That's true." ”
Hearing this, Lin Youde's face turned pale, he stood up, flicked his sleeves and left.
Chen Xiansong could clearly feel that Lin Youde's anger was about to explode, although he didn't know why, but he was just surprised by this matter, and he didn't take it to heart. There weren't many people he valued in the first place, and as for people like Chang Zhiqiu and Lin Youde, he had no interest in studying them at all.
Lin Youde left Lao Chen's house quickly, and then got into his own carriage, he was indeed as Chen Xiansong felt, and he was about to explode.
Scholars! This represents a supreme title in the Kingdom of Aurora, almost equal to the royal power.
Lin Youde has always been proud of his identity, and he feels that he is a scholar first, and then a vice president. He also felt that every scholar should be like him and love his identity. But when he heard that Chen Xiansong threw his identity as a scholar on the ground and stepped on it, his anger surged uncontrollably.
What is your identity as a scholar, do you want to want it, and throw it away if you don't want it?
Lin Youde returned to Donglin Society with a gloomy face, and when Chang Zhiqiu saw him like this, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Chen Xiansong deserves to die for this son." Lin Youde said angrily: "He is not worthy of being a scholar, he is not a scholar!" ”
Chang Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, asked what happened, and after a while, his face was also a little angry, and said: "It seems that Chen Xiansong is not a kind of person when we are, since this is the case, we don't have to keep our hands." The old Chen family's reliance is nothing more than the private soldiers hidden in the three nearby cities. Hum! Youde, you go to the Wurentang and order all the mercenaries to snipe the private soldiers of the old Chen family in the nearby three cities, and not let any of them enter Heluo City. ”
Donglin Society not only has a lot of books, but also a lot of money. (To be continued......)
