Chapter 357: Firm Heart
Lin Tian stepped forward and patted Tuofei on the shoulder, stabilizing Tuofei who was about to scold, he smiled at Tuofei and signaled him to settle down.
Tuofei, who was still a little anxious, suddenly saw Lintian's smile, and he instantly quieted down.
Maybe others don't know, but Tuofei has been with Lintian for a long time, and he can naturally understand that Lintian's smile is not a forced smile, but a sincere natural and calm.
Lintian doesn't smile often, but every time he decides something, he has this kind of smile, maybe it's a person's habit, and it's also some kind of message, he has already made a decision.
Lintian stepped forward, looked at Wang Ming and Wen Yong downstairs, and said calmly: "Since you have already decided, then do as you say, I have no objection." ”
Lintian happily agreed, but it made many people feel strange, because there was some unfairness in it, if Lintian was not stupid, how could he agree?
Could it be that he is confident that he can challenge Wen Yong's national fortune poems? Many people are puzzled.
Wen Yong smiled contemptuously and said, "It's good if you agree! I wonder if you're ready now? I think it's time to come forward and write poems, right?"
Wen Yong didn't think much about it in his heart, at this time his heart was already in his hands, he felt that judging from today alone, almost no one could be stronger than his national fortune poem. So he didn't care about Lintian's calm reaction at all, in his eyes, it was just his composure.
Lin Tian did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at the gauze tent, and then paused.
"Before that, I need to re-ask the first standard of the Wenbi between you and me. It is the rhyme of the piano poem. Whoever can become a bosom friend wins. If both of you and I are unsuccessful, then we are judging the level of the poem, right?"
"Exactly!" Wen Yong said confidently.
The corners of Lintian's mouth rose slightly, and he nodded indifferently, "Well, that's fine......"
After Lintian finished speaking, before Wen Yong could speak again, he turned around and walked downstairs with Tuofei.
Wen Yong looked at Lintian who was about to go downstairs. I wanted to say something more, but in the end I held back, his eyes were full of disdain, he felt that Lintian was pretending to be calm, hesitating the confidence in his heart, and he didn't even hear what Lintian said, 'It's good'.
After a while, Lintian and Tuofei came downstairs. With his eyes half-open, he walked slowly to the front of the center stage.
Almost all the people in the building looked at Lintian, even the girls from Fengxuan Tower. But it's different from Wen Yong's vision. They didn't think he was anything outstanding, but they all wanted to see it. What kind of state and expression will this unlucky man who once wrote a poem about the national fortune be at this moment.
This is the long-awaited ridicule session, although Lintian has not yet written a poem, it is not a real failure, but people have already judged the result in their hearts, and they can't wait to get the psychological balance and the pleasure of ridicule.
However, when they saw Lintian up close, there was a gap between what they thought in their hearts.
They think that Lintian should be afraid of nervous legs and feet, but is this a little too calm?
Wen Yong and Wang Ming looked at it coldly, and there was a sneer in their hearts, if it was in Cangzhou, they should indeed be worried about Lintian's reaction, but this time is not the past, after all, they are all Wen Xiu's identity, and it is not the same as before.
Wen Yong said coldly: "Lintian, if you are ready, then let's start!"
With Wen Yong's words, many people's eyes began to play and abuse, and the pressure was not half a star in front of the national fortune poem, and the luck of the sky was exhausted, and it was likely that he would not even be able to induce the luck.
Jin Jinlu's eyes lit up upstairs, and he had a different view of Lintian from beginning to end. Seeing Lintian so indifferent, he couldn't help but nodded.
"Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, in the face of such a situation, it seems that I should be prepared. Jinshalu thought to himself.
Then he looked at Wang Ming and He Wenyong, Wen Yong he really didn't know, but Wang Ming, he still knew, he couldn't say he knew, he should say he was familiar.
Wang Ming's background is also not bad, after all, his father is an important minister of the Great Xuan Criminal Department, and the reason why Wang Ming's Wang family has a prominent position is because the Criminal Department is involved in the very edge of many power contradictions.
No matter how bright the court is, there is always a black side, so the criminal department is a veil outside this darkness, and many things can only be done by using this veil as an appearance.
Although Jinshalu is far away in the army, after all, his family background is the 'Central Army', and his father is the commander of the Central Army, the last line of defense of the Great Xuanguo, so he has seen these so-called big people many times.
The nine kings of Daxuan, the four handsome, the two prime ministers, one ceremony, one punishment, and one Hanlin. He has seen almost everything, and the 'first punishment' here is the Wang family.
The undercurrent of the current has begun to surge, and these forces are secretly connected to each other, and he has recently received some news, that is, the 'Wang Family Criminal Department', which has always maintained neutrality, seems to have begun to tend, as if it is not as 'selfless as it seems', and it is likely that the side they tend to is the 'Nine Kings'.
After all, Jinshalu is an aristocratic family, and it is not surprising to know these things. So his eyes when he looked at Wang Ming at this time were full of disgust. Soldiers are full of enthusiasm for the country, so in their eyes, they don't like this sour bureaucracy very much, let alone the 'moths' of some countries.
......
After hearing Wen Yong's words, Lintian ignored it, but looked directly at the stage.
He knew that it was indeed time to play anyway, but until now, he still didn't have a lot of confidence in this last piece. After all, he tried to guess the identity of the woman in the gauze tent, so the test he faced was also huge.
He had to make a choice, stick to his heart and write a poem for the last piece, he might not be chosen, if he didn't write a poem for the piano. Then you have to write a poem about the fortune of the country. And it must rely on the strength of the poem itself. It is only by drawing out more luck to surpass Wen Yong, because he himself has no extra luck.
This seems to be a bit of a dilemma, but the peace and indifference in Lintian's heart at the moment is from the heart, to be honest, he is not afraid of failure, and he is not afraid of being ridiculed and spurned by everyone after failure.
Because since he was a child, he has been humiliated and abused, which has exceeded these. So Lintian didn't care about any results and other people's banter at all, so he was calm and indifferent in his heart.
But the reason why he accepted Wenbi, from the bottom of his heart, was not because he was helpless, but because there were some things that he had to insist on, not his face, not the atmosphere in his heart, and not the heart of revenge.
Sometimes, insisting on dignity does not mean being strong. But if you don't even want dignity. That's real cowardice.
Lintian has already decided since he was awake in the Wen family. Even if you die in the future, you must not let anyone cross your bottom line!
The bottom line is not as important as life, and dignity is even less important than the reality of food and clothing, but Lintian still has to stick to his heart, even if he dies young again, because this is the stubbornness in his heart!
Hongxia looked at Lintian and looked at it carefully, feeling that he was a very ordinary handsome young man, and his indifferent expression made him feel a little stunned.
No matter what she thinks, she thinks that Miss Feng'er's choice will never be him!
And in Hongxia's heart, from the beginning to the present, she didn't care about the 'stupid' young man in front of her at all, and it was only now that she took a serious look at the other person of Wenbi.
Hongxia took a few steps forward, and suddenly felt that Lintian's eyes were actually looking at the gauze tent, and her brows suddenly frowned.
"Could it be...... No......" Hongxia couldn't believe it, but then she smiled in relief.
may be thinking too much, this kind of stunned gaze is probably just a coincidence......
Then Hongxia sorted out her thoughts, didn't think about it anymore, looked at the stunned Lintian and said, "Lintian Gongzi is ready to write poems?"
............ Hearing Hongxia's question, Lintian came back to his senses and looked over.
Lin Tian bowed his hand and replied: "As the girl said, I am ready to write a poem for this last song immediately!"
"That's fine, then Lintian Gongzi, please!" Hongxia finished speaking, and then took a few steps back and stopped talking.
At this time, the focus of the audience was on Lintian's body, which was different from Wen Yong's limelight at that time, if it was all good-natured, it would be good, but at this moment, everyone's eyes looking at Lintian were a little joking and contemptuous.
Being watched by so many bad eyes is actually a kind of pressure, even the thick-skinned Tuofei can't bear it anymore at this time, and even feels that his hands are still a little cold.
Wen Yong's eyes were full of sinister eyes, and he suddenly interjected: "Lintian, you'd better be careful, even if you lose later, don't be too ugly, tell you first, I won't leave any mercy!"
"You're right, I really don't have any relationship with you! But before Wenbi is over, you're already sure that you've won, and it's too early. Lintian said.
Wen Yong was a little playful, and said loudly: "Oh? What, do you really have the confidence to challenge the national fortune poem?
The people around were listening to the conversation between the two, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little disdainful, and they really didn't think that good luck could happen to make a poem about national fortune again?
Lin Tian suddenly smiled, "Why don't you dare to think about it? Since you can make a national fortune poem, what am I missing? But I don't know if I can write a national fortune poem, but at least I have to defeat you!"
Lintian's words were very calm, and there was no anger or jokes, he was just stating what he was thinking, and the meaning was very clear, that is, it was not necessary that the national fortune poem could win!
Wang Ming thought he was mocking, but he didn't understand the meaning of Lintian's words, and said to him: "Lintian! Don't waste your tongue, let's see the real chapter in the pen! I want to see what else you can do!"
Lin Tian glanced at Wang Ming, and then looked away, as if he hadn't heard his words, completely ignoring it!
Seeing Lintian's reaction of ignoring himself, Wang Ming's anger was already burning in his heart, and he didn't understand why, obviously before this, he was a genius praised by everyone! But why did the world change drastically after going to Cangzhou.
At first, he was not like this, even Wen Yong. The three sons of the Wen family are all followers behind them. But who would have thought. It's only been less than a month, and he has become a neglected person, how can he stand it.
Wang Ming was very unwilling, and continued to stimulate: "Hmph! Why, you are so scared that you don't even dare to speak? If you admit defeat at this moment, I will help you talk to Wen Yong and let you go." But all you have to do is admit your mistake to us, and then kowtow to both of us!
Wang Ming's words intensified. He felt that Lintian should be able to listen. And he is not afraid of being spurned for speaking like this, he is the son of the Wang family of the Criminal Department, and no one dares to provoke the master.
However, Lintian still didn't look at him, but just said a contemptuous word.
"At first, I was comparing myself to the two of you, and if I had said anything at that time, I might have heard anything you said, but now I don't have anything to do with you, right?"
Lintian's words were said plainly, but in Wang Ming's ears, it was like a piercing voice. His face was a little hideous, but he couldn't refute it.
Almost all of them see it clearly. After Wen Yong made the national fortune poem, Wang Ming proposed to let Wen Yong as a representative, in fact, it was already the meaning of giving up or quitting, in other words, he himself had admitted that he was not as good as Wen Yong, he was afraid, afraid that his poems would drag his feet, afraid of being embarrassed, he was cowardly, and he was cowardly!
So what else did he say? He was no longer qualified to judge the merits of this literary competition, so it was reasonable to ignore it.
Seeing that Wang Ming couldn't reply, Wen Yong stepped forward and said, "Lintian, it's useless to talk more, since you're ready, let's start." I still kind of can't wait to see you crushed under my feet!"
Lintian glanced at Wen Yong, did not speak, turned around and walked to the front of the stage not far away, on which there were pen and ink and paper inkstones that had been prepared.
Lin Tian didn't talk nonsense, took a deep breath, and then lifted the ink pen on the side and began to dip the ink seriously.
I'm ready to start writing poetry......
The woman in the gauze tent, I don't know when, actually stood up, a noble and dignified figure, looking a little lonely.
She bypassed the guqin and took a few steps forward, so that she was closer to the gauze tent and could see things outside more clearly.
People in the outside world naturally can't see clearly and don't know the movements of the woman in the gauze tent, and everyone's attention is on Lintian, who is about to write a poem, and no one will deliberately look into the gauze tent at all.
At this moment, it seems that Wen Yong and Lintian Wenbi have replaced the attraction of this qin poem to the last song of the rhyme.
The woman stood quietly inside, her dignified robe hanging down naturally, and her delicate face was like a well-carved handicraft, flawless.
The golden phoenix hairpin pendant swayed gently, and only this trace of brilliance can also highlight the nobility.
She looked thoughtfully at the figure of the man outside through the vague gauze tent. On the woman's face, there is no emotion, but there are a lot of 'emotions' in her heart.
She is very lonely in the world of Qindao Wenxiu, this is a kind of loneliness that no one can understand. Only those who really study the rhythm of music will know a thing or two.
But in the real world, she's pretty good. Because she is in the 'Son of Heaven Academy'.
The Tianzi Academy of the Great Xuan Kingdom is a place that many people can't imagine, only those who go know what kind of place this is, once even the saints of the Dongzhou Holy Courtyard have commented that in addition to the Holy Courtyard, the Tianzi Academy of the Great Xuan is the best!
So after she entered the Tianzi Academy, she was still a little happy. And in the academy, in addition to many talented brothers, there is also an uncle who is admired by everyone. At the same time, this 'uncle' has also been friends with the Qin Sage for many years.
This uncle often wears 'Tsing Yi', the realm is profound, and the Qin Sage has been traveling for many years, almost all of them are taken care of by this Tsing Yi uncle, so Miss Feng'er naturally admires her.
Some time ago, when this uncle came back from the mountain, he found her, and also mentioned a poem, a poem about national fortune, called "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang".
The door of the woman's Qin Dao Wenxiu's state of mind has not yet been opened, and Tsing Yi naturally knows. So before she returned to Fengxuan Tower, the man in Tsing Yi once said that if she had a chance, she might as well try it with him, and there might be a chance.
Of course, she knew that it was impossible to say such things at will for no reason, so she kept it in her heart at that time.
And this poem, she also went back to read it, for some reason, when she saw the last sentence "Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat", she seemed to understand what Uncle Shi meant.
However, I don't know if it was a coincidence or the arrangement of fate, just after the saint invited her to attend the feast, she decided to go back to Fengxuan Tower a day in advance, but happened to meet the owner of this poem.
Maybe it's providence, Lintian wants to compare with Wen Yongwen, but the woman herself is interested and ends up playing the piano. So it happened to come together.
The woman agreed to them as judges, and she just wanted to see more about what kind of character the person who could write the poem "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang" was.
Miss Feng'er looked outside, consciously or unintentionally paying attention to the person holding the pen, since it was the recommendation of 'Uncle Tsing Yi', she simply took a look at it......
For the poems that Lintian is about to write, some people have expectations, such as Feng'er girl, such as Jinsha Road, such as Tuofei.
Quite on the contrary, there are some people who disdain, such as Wang Ming, such as the three sons of the Wen family, such as the men and 'women' around who recognize Wen Yong's national fortune poems.
Another example is Tian Hong in the crowd.
His current distorted mentality actually stems from being ignored by Feng Xuanlou, his jealousy of Wen Yong, and the ugly vanity in his heart.
However, he was ready to push it on Lin Tian in one go, but it was nothing, because seeing that Lin Tian was easier to bully, so he felt better......
He had even figured out what kind of words he would use to take the lead in humiliating Lintian after Lintian lost.
Such a distorted psychology cast a layer of darkness on his face.
Wen San was behind Wen Yong, looking gloomily at Lintian who was holding a pen and ink, and his heart was full of happiness.
The original grudge against Lintian, in fact, he was deeper than Wen Yong, because half of the reason why the Wen family and Lintian really broke up was his own credit, but Lintian at that time was still a subordinate who was slaughtered by others.
Now, however, it is a problem that cannot be easily solved by itself.
Wen San couldn't help but wonder, why didn't he see it in the Wen family's compound all these years?
He actually read a book, when did he read it? How do I not know? He used to be a stupid fool, why does he suddenly seem to change his appearance? Who did he learn from?
Although Lintian is still flawed in his luck, and he often talks about him as a waste, these days, what Lintian has done still makes him puzzled.
Could it be that he threw him into the lake that day and really met the 'saint'? This is a question that Wen San has repeatedly thought about many times, although he still proudly feels that Lintian will soon be eliminated, but after all, he has been bullied and humiliated by him for several years, and he still can't accept such a sudden change, which is a little abrupt.
But this is just a curiosity in his heart, at this moment, it doesn't matter if he knows it or not, because he is very confident in Wen Yong's national fortune poems, and at the same time, he also has absolute confidence in what he has done in the family and in Lintian.
So he felt that no matter what level he looked at, Lintian was losing today...... (To be continued.) )
