At Lin Tailai's table, several other people at the same table are all representatives of Changzhou County. Previously, they treated Lin Tailai, an outsider who stole the limelight, and their attitude was still relatively distant.

But after Shen Yongjia got on the table, the situation was immediately different again, and several scholars wanted to socialize with Shen Erye.

Lin Tailai whispered to Shen Yongjia: "I have a few words to say."

Shen Yongjia deliberately ignored Lin Tailai and turned his head to talk to a few other people.

A sociable scholar spoke very skillfully:

"Friend Shen was born in a high family, but he is willing to hide in the city, not thinking about fame and fortune, just like the great sages of the ancients!"

Shen Yongjia: "."

Burst! Lin Tailai didn't hold back, and the wine in his mouth squirted out.

This friend from Changzhou County, who doesn't know the truth, can say a few more words if he can speak.

If you want to say something bad, you have to start with why Shen Erye lives in seclusion at home, which pot is not opened.

Shen Yongjia silently blacked out these people in his heart, and then turned back indifferently.

Anyway, he would only be paralyzed in the face of strangers, and others would not be able to see any change in his face.

Seeing that the second son of Shen "changed his mind", Lin Tailai picked up the wine cup and wine jug, and signaled: "Go, go to Yuan County to respect a glass of wine." ”

Shen Guigongzi snorted with his nose and said lightly: "If you want to go, go away, I won't go." ”

It's just a county, and it's not enough to let Zai Fu take the initiative to toast.

Lin Tailai was very dissatisfied and said, "Can you cooperate a little?" If you don't stand by my side, then what's the point of me toasting to the magistrate alone? ”

Is this a fox and a fake tiger? Second Master Shen also lost his temper and said, "I'm not a prop!" ”

Lin Daguan put the wine jug on the table heavily, and said with a sad expression: "You actually look at me like this!" ”

Shen Er Gongzi was taken aback, why was he still in a hurry?

Lin Daguan complained again: "In your eyes, am I just a villain who only uses you!" ”

Suddenly hearing Lin Tai's self-debunking truth, Shen Ergongzi was a little confused and didn't know how to respond.

It's good that you know this kind of thing in your heart, but if you say it openly, how will the relationship be handled?

But it doesn't matter, Shen Er Gongzi has a facial paralysis stunt, and he only needs to be quietly expressionless at the moment.

Lin Tailai sighed and said, "How do you know my hard work!" Actually, I just thought, you can transfer your household registration to Cheung Chau County. ”

Shen Yongjia: "??? ”

I couldn't suppress my damn curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "What did you do when you transferred to Changzhou County?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "You have been removed from the Wuxian County School, and it is absolutely impossible to return to the Wuxian County School according to the convention."

But if you can transfer your household registration to Cheung Chau County, you may be able to be admitted to Cheung Chau County School again in the future and regain your fame.

At least theoretically, this kind of feasibility exists, as long as Ling Zun has enough courage (face) strength (skin), the probability of the road to heaven and earth is still very large. ”

Shen Guigongzi immediately stood up and said approachably: "Then we should go to congratulate Yuan Xianzun on his appointment in Suzhou City on behalf of the people of Wu County." ”

Lin Tailai: "."

You Shen Er is not stupid, from "toast" to "congratulations", the transformation is so silky. In this transformation, we can finally see the wind of the Father.

No matter what the reason for drinking, Yuan Zhixian didn't mind, anyway, he achieved his wish to get to know Second Master Shen.

After drinking with the newly arrived Changzhou Zhixian and returning to his seat, Shen Ergongzi suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He questioned Lin Tailai: "Since you have this kind of idea, why didn't you say it three months earlier?" ”

Lin Tailai asked rhetorically: "Why do you say this?" ”

Shen Yongjia analyzed: "You deliberately waited for the county government exam, and you got the first case, and you are expected to enter school next year, and then you gave me this idea, right?"

In this case, even if I can regain my fame, won't I become your junior in the name? ”

Lin Tailai was stunned, he really didn't expect this, mainly because he was insensitive to his predecessors and juniors.

Casually responded: "That's not impossible, I don't mind." ”

Shen Ergongzi slapped the table and didn't want to speak.

Not long after that, Yuan Zhixian was not strong enough to drink, and the reception banquet held in the county hall was dispersed.

This made Lin Daguan a little strange, why did Yuan Zhixian drink so much?

As far as he knew, the gang of people in the public security faction were all drunken and indulgent figures, and the amount of alcohol could not be bad, so none of them would live long.

Most of the people dispersed, and only a few people helped the drunk Yuan Zhixian to the back hall of the county ya.

Before entering the flower hall, Yuan Zhixian broke free from the support, opened his big eyes that were still bright, and all the drunkenness disappeared.

Lin Tailai suddenly realized, could it be that Yuan Zhixian was disgusted with red tape and officialdom procedures, so he deliberately pretended to be drunk just now and ended the banquet early?

is worthy of being a great writer who can read middle school textbooks, but he is different from ordinary vulgar officials.

I saw Yuan Zhixian sitting on a chair as light as a swallow, and after pouring two sips of tea, he couldn't wait to speak: "Is there a prostitute in this city?" ”

Lin Tailai: "."

is worthy of being a great writer who can go to middle school textbooks, and this character is too literary! Speaking is something that cannot be written in a textbook.

After identification, the rumors that the public security faction literati like to indulge in alcohol and lust are indeed true.

When he thought of this, somehow, Lin Daguan remembered the hippies in the seventies of the lighthouse country in the time and space of his previous life.

Li Jixuan applauded and laughed: "The second game is the real start of tonight, but the matter of this second game has to be asked to the locals." ”

Lin Daguan summed it up and said: "The city gates have been locked, and Shangtang, Shantang, and Nanhao outside the city wall can't go, so they can only move in the city."

You can go to Leqiao Li Pianpian's house, her family also has the advantage of being located in Changzhou County, so there is no risk of being impeached across the line. ”

Yuan Zhixian asked, "What grade is she on the flower list?" ”

"Ranked fifth, not dishonoring the status of the county!" Lin Tailai replied, "Wouldn't it be more elegant if you could elevate her to the top four in the next session?" ”

It's not that Lin Daguan admires Li Pianpian much, but mainly because he thinks that Zhang Youyu still owes Li Pianpian a sky-high bill for this old thing.

Today, I led Xinzhi County over, which can be regarded as helping Li Pianpian become famous and profitable, and let her write off the previous bills.

On the other hand, the county has a high vision, and the general vulgar fat powder is not in the eye, so he can only cope with the past by finding the fifth place on the flower list.

When Shen Er Gongzi heard this, he got up and walked out, saying as he walked: "I won't participate, let's go first!" ”

Yuan Zhixian was not angry, but asked Lin Tailai suspiciously: "This second son of Shen is young, is he reserved by nature, or is he not a good woman?" ”

Lin Daguan sighed and replied: "The county respects nothing, the Shen family is thin and can't support the big clan, so the task of spreading branches and leaves on the second master Shen is too heavy!"

Therefore, some of his little kidney water is not willing to be wasted outside, and all of it must be left to his wives and concubines at home. ”

Thinking about the achievements of Shen Yong Jiashen's nine sons and twelve daughters in history, you can know how hard Shen Erye worked to strengthen the family.

In fact, Lin Daguan no longer envies the bright lights and talents, but envies the freedom and chic of Shen Erye who can come and go whenever he wants, without looking at other people's faces.

Or more specifically, envy can support this kind of freedom and chic confidence and strength.

Looking back at myself, in order to quickly get closer to Yuan Zhixian who met for the first time, how much effort did it take today?

Even one of the four irons of life has to be used!

Yuan Zhixian refused the official sedan chair, traveled in micro-service, and walked to Li Pianpian's house in Leqiao with Li Jixuan and Lin Tailai.

Lin Tailai sent Zhang Wen to run forward, and first went to Li Pianpian's house to play the front station.

From Cheung Chau County to Leqiao, it is the central area, the streets are bustling, and there is still an endless flow of people at the beginning of the night.

After all, Yuan Hongdao is a new official, and he feels something. While looking at the street scene, he sighed: "As the saying goes, if you are an official, you will benefit one party."

But looking at this grand scene in the city, it seems that there is no need for the official to benefit anything. ”

Lin Tailai replied: "The difficulty of governing Suzhou City is not in the city, but outside the city. Because the money and grain are outside the city, this is the most important performance appraisal of the county. ”

Thinking of the problem of money and food, even though Yuan Zhixian had never been to Suzhou City before, he felt a little headache.

"I heard that this year's plum season is rainy and there is a little waterlogging, but I'm afraid it will not be easy to fill the amount this year!

I wanted to open a farm warehouse to help the poor, but who wanted to be stopped by the government again! ”

Hearing that Yuan Zhixian did not forget to open a warehouse to help the poor, and had to say something on the way to find fun, Lin Daguan gradually figured out the heart of this writer Zhixian.

Most of the writers who are officials are face-pickers, and they all have the intention of making some official voices. In this way, he proves to the world that he can not only engage in literature, but also engage in political achievements.

And opening a warehouse for relief is the easiest way to brush up on fame, and it must be the virtue and politics praised by all the people, so Yuan Zhixian will never forget.

After thinking about it, Lin Daguan said with words: "In fact, opening a warehouse for relief can only alleviate the temporary situation, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem. ”

Yuan Zhixian asked, "What is the fundamental problem?" ”

Lin Tailai took the opportunity to reply: "Suzhou is known as a water town, and it is close to the Taihu Lake, which is high in the middle and low on the four sides, so there is a lot of water.

Nowadays, the water conservancy is in disrepair, and the waterways are mostly blocked, so if there is a little more rain, there will be a large flood irrigation.

There have been some waterlogging for two consecutive years, indicating that the silting of waterways in various places has been more serious, and this is the fundamental problem.

The county still has three years to serve, and it can plan water conservancy, continuously carry out dredging and dredging, and alleviate the disaster. ”

Yuan Hongdao fell into deep thought, and after walking for a while, he said a little embarrassedly: "There is another question, I don't know whether to ask it or not." ”

Lin Tailai thought, what's so embarrassing, could it be that a gentleman is ashamed to talk about profits? It's not impossible for you to be two, me eight, and you to be three, and I to be seven.

Yuan Zhixian asked in a low voice: "If this is just dredging and dredging, can there be any way to leave a name for future generations?" ”

Su Dongpo made the Su Causeway, Bai Juyi made the White Causeway, and Fan Zhongyan made the Fan Gong Causeway, which is still famous thousands of years later.

Lin Tailai slapped his thigh suddenly, Yuan Xianzun, you said earlier, if you want to say that he is professional in brushing his reputation!

So Lin Tailai showed great enthusiasm and asked in a tempting tone: "Have you heard of Wudi Sanjiangkou?" ”

As a great writer who has read poetry and books, Yuan Hongdao replied without thinking:

"How don't you know? "Shangshu Yugong" clouds, the three rivers have entered, and Zhenze is stable.

"Wu Yue Spring and Autumn" clouds, the king of Yue will choose the dead to go out of the mouth of the three rivers and enter the five lakes; Again, Fan Li resigned from the king of Yue, took a flat boat out of the mouth of the three rivers, and entered the five lakes.

However, according to this official's knowledge, the Sanjiangkou has long been silted up and disappeared into the world thousands of years ago due to changes in topography and waterways! ”

Lin Tailai replied: "So the county honor, you can let Sanjiangkou reappear, so I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave an official reputation in future generations?" ”

Yuan Hongdao couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and gently reprimanded: "You are all nonsense!"

What are the three rivers in the "Book of Shang", and the interpreters of the scriptures since ancient times have also had different opinions, and they are not the same!

The bifurcation of the ancient Wusong River, the ancient Lou River, and the ancient Dongjiang River is also in the north of Wujiang County, what does it have to do with my Changzhou County? ”

Lin Tailai replied: "The pattern of the county may as well be enlarged a little, the southern part of Changzhou County is adjacent to the northern part of Wujiang County, who knows which side of the county is in the ancient Sanjiangkou?"

In the south of Changzhou County, according to the water potential, you can dig some rivers and dredge the water flow, and then you can claim that this is the original site of the ancient three river estuary!

It is impossible for a reader not to read four books? As long as you have read the "Book of Shang" and related interpretations, who doesn't know Sanjiang?

Who can read in Suzhou not watch "Wu Yue Spring and Autumn"? As long as you have seen it, who doesn't know the mouth of the three rivers?

If you write a few more poems and write ancient poems, and then set up a monument, won't this official reputation be left to future generations through Sanjiangkou! ”

Yuan Zhixian: "."

What is a confidant, this one who steps on a horse is called a confidant!

It's really lucky to be able to meet such a confidant local when I took office!

After coming back to his senses, Yuan Zhixian asked again: "Even if it costs money and food to levy and issue conscription, where does it come from?" ”

Lin Tailai shook his head and sighed: "I could have used the reserves of the county's Jinong Cang, but now the Jinong Cang is controlled by the government, alas! Alas! Alas! ”

Speaking of which, when he heard Jinongcang again, Yuan Zhixian said: "The government is too much, wait for the official to think about it again!" ”

Lin Tailai hurriedly "reminded" and said: "Nafu Zun is more harsh, and the county must endure the grievances." ”

When he said this, he also walked to Li Pianpian's house, and the two stopped talking about political affairs and quickly switched to Fengyue mode.

After Yuan Zhixian fell asleep late at night, Lin Daguan ran to Sun Lianlian's house to spend the night, because it was relatively close to Shenfu.

After waking up the next day, he went to Shen again.

Shen Ergongzi sat under the corridor of the Ming Hall, waved his fan and said, "I thought about it, maybe I shouldn't be willful last night, I should accompany Yuan Zhixian." ”

Lin Daguan, who was very hard working yesterday, yawned and responded casually:

"It's nothing, if you can show your face, I'll be content, and I dare to look at Shu."

Shen Yongjia asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lin Tailai continued to reply: "It's better if you go later, without you present, I can play better alone!" ”

Shen Er Gongzi always felt that this sentence was not a good thing, but there was no evidence.

Then he asked, "You told others that I am the leader of the Renewal Society, and with my consent?"

Now I tell you, I don't agree to be the leader of this Rausch League! ”
