Zheng Zhiyan, a big salt merchant, is currently the richest man in Yangzhou City, and no one can say how much his family property is.

Anyway, Zheng Zhiyan had four sons in history, all of whom could be squandered, and all of them were building and repairing gardens, and the famous Xiuyuan in later generations was built by one of Zheng Zhiyan's sons.

can accommodate four sons at the same time, and the loser can still hold up, you can imagine Zheng Zhiyan's rich family background.

Recently, Zheng Zhiyan has been in a good mood, and the idea of expanding his family's influence to the Shilin literary world has made substantial progress.

In addition to rebuilding the Pingshan Hall and making a reward gimmick for the Suzhou Oiran, he has also secretly invited important ministers to appreciate the light.

After laying a good foundation, he urged his sons to study and study, even if they didn't get much fame in the exam, they must have basic cultural literacy and become a half-Confucian and half-businessman.

At dinner time today, Zheng Yuan was struggling with the dozen dishes on the table outside, and he was struggling with where to start.

Suddenly, an old steward stood outside the door and greeted softly: "Master! ”

Zheng Zhiyan put down his chopsticks and shouted: "What's the matter, it's time to disturb the meal!" ”

The old steward said: "Over there in the Baihua Princess's Courtyard, there is a little situation, and a Suzhou Lin Sheng comes to the door to make noise. ”

After listening, Zheng Zhiyan frowned and said, "Why is he here?" ”

As a person who does business with Suzhou, and has just been to Suzhou, Zheng Yuanwai certainly knows what kind of character this "Lin Jieyuan" is.

When he went to Suzhou to buy the white oiran, someone reminded him that Lin Xie Yuan seemed to have always been interested in this oiran, but he refused to pay for it.

However, he didn't care at the time, he paid the money with one hand and led the people with the other, which is fair.

You Lin Xie Yuan is unwilling to spend money, or can't afford to spend money, who is to blame?

Then Zheng Zhiyan remembered Lin Tailai's deeds, and asked, "Did he do it?" ”

The old steward reported: "He only dodged, and did not move." ”

Zheng Yuanwai chuckled and said, "It seems that Lin Xie Yuan is not stupid, he knows the truth that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake."

When people go to other places, there is no advantage in numbers, and there is no advantage in the government, so what to fight. ”

The old steward reported again: "That Lin Xie Yuan wrote two very affectionate and complaining poems, so some of the discussions are not good now.

said that Lin Bai and the two were originally in love with each other and made a private agreement for life, but the lord was rich and unkind, relying on the wealth, and forcibly broke up the couple. ”

"It's the ignorant man who chews his tongue again!" Zheng Yuanwai was a little unhappy.

As the richest man in Yangzhou City, although he has long been accustomed to being chewed and arranged, he still won't be happy every time he hears it.

The old steward asked, "How should I arrange it?" ”

Zheng Yuanwai instructed: "I estimate that the person surnamed Lin is going to Beijing to catch the exam, so Bacheng is just passing through Yangzhou City, and he may not have much energy to consume."

Anyway, he doesn't dare to do it, so he will send more people tomorrow, and when he appears, he will be expelled! ”

The old steward got the order, so he passed on the words of Master Zheng.

The next day, on the street outside the gate of the Zheng family's courtyard, the number of people gathered to watch the excitement further increased.

The streets and alleys are not very wide in the first place, and at this time they are already a little impassable.

When Lin Tai came over, he almost couldn't squeeze in, but fortunately, someone recognized the protagonist and took the initiative to give way.

When Lin Daguan walked outside the gate of Zheng's courtyard, before he could step forward and kick the door, the gate automatically opened.

Then more than a dozen people poured out of the courtyard and blocked in front of Lin Tailai.

Lin Tailai hurriedly retreated, until he retreated to a position close to the crowd, and then shouted: "Your Zheng family actually planned it and ambushed here!" ”

The house slave at the head scolded: "Get out of here!" Otherwise, you will taste the taste of life and death! ”

Before the words fell, more than 20 people suddenly rushed out of the crowd.

And everyone was armed with sticks, and without saying a word, they stepped forward and started fighting.

The attention of the Zheng family's slaves was on Lin Jieyuan, and they were unexpectedly beaten up.

By the time they reacted, the situation had already turned one-sided, and more than a dozen Zheng family slaves either fell to the ground or ran away.

Lin Xie Yuan stood outside and shouted hoarsely: "Don't fight!" It's all my fault! ”

Within a few rounds, the fight was over, and the Zheng family slaves suffered a loss defenselessly.

After the beating, the twenty-odd men threw down their sticks, squeezed them out of the crowd, and then scattered and fled.

The people who came to eat melons were stunned and felt that today's trip was worthwhile.

In Yangzhou City, there are really not many people who dare to beat the Zheng family's slaves, and the salt merchants are not only selling salt, but also representing a force.

It's a trivial matter for a dozen people to be beaten now, but it's definitely going to set off a chain reaction, and it's hard to say what will happen later.

Just when everyone was caught in their heads, Lin Tailai shouted to the crowd: "May the local fathers and elders testify for me, I didn't do anything, and their actions have nothing to do with them!" ”

Everyone was speechless, are you Lin Xie Yuan really stupid? Is this something you don't do with your hands?

Now the situation is that if the Zheng family doesn't get this field back, they won't want to have face in Yangzhou City.

What if the Zheng family can't find the "real murderer"? If you don't take Lin Xie Yuan back to the field, who can you take?

At this time, outside the gate of the Zheng family's courtyard, only a mess was left. The few remaining house slaves who were still able to move stood in the gate and shivered.

Now if outsiders rush in, they really have no power to fight back.

Lin Daguan looked at the gate and probed his head a few times, and shouted, "Swallow! Swallow! You okay? ”

But at this time, no one came up to stop Lin Daguan, and just when everyone thought that Lin Daguan was about to walk in, he retreated from the gate again.

Then he skillfully wrote on the wall, still a small poem.

The title is obviously a set of yesterday's words, called "Appeal to the Heart, Read Bai Ji", and the text is:

"Try Luo Shang under the little peach branch. The scent of the beetle powder bucket.

The jade wheel flattened the grass, and half of the face was annoyed with red makeup.

The wind is warm, and the day is long. Weeping poplars.

A pair of dancing swallows, 10,000 flying flowers, full of sunset. ”

The content seems to be written as if it was the excitement of a spring outing together in the past, but under the backdrop of the first two words, it is more like a kind of reminiscence that the good time will no longer come.

Compared with the first two poems, it reveals a touch of sadness, and the reminiscence seems to have become a fantasy.

The readers gradually came up with an idea, if this Lin Jieyuan made a move, would there be any hope of winning the championship in the Pingshan Hall Poetry Competition?

I heard that when Lin Xie Yuan was in Suzhou and Nanjing, even Wang Shizhen, the leader of the literary league, was defeated several times.

And sure enough, as the rumors say, this Lin Jieyuan publishes poems and likes to wholesale complete sets, which is worthy of his reputation!

As expected, there were still a few people in the crowd to post paper drafts to avoid everyone eating melons incompletely.

In addition, it was also unsurprising, a roar came from outside the gate: "I, Suzhou Linsheng, will definitely not give up easily!" I'll be back tomorrow morning! ”

Everyone who eats melons is really stunned this time, do you Lin Xie Yuan dare to come?

Now a fool can judge that the Zheng family is definitely going to go crazy, how many lives do you Lin Xie Yuan have, and you dare to go to Hushan?

I can only make up so much, I'm already exhausted at the end of the crossbow, and if I don't slow down, I'll collapse, let me take a breath first.

The new month is here, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass! Wait until tomorrow to get up and continue.
