The matter about the leader of the Wang Lao Alliance is just a topic of meeting and greeting.

Lin Daguan knew very well that others definitely didn't come here today to talk about the current situation of the old alliance leader, let alone come over to visit his new home.

So after talking about the matter of the leader of the Wang Lao Alliance, Lin Daguan took the initiative to ask, "How did the three of you meet together?" ”

Second Master Shen replied first: "I went to Songjiang Mansion a while ago, and I happened to meet Senior Feng. ”

Then Mr. Zhang Fengyi replied, "Brother Feng invited me to be a guest. ”

Lin Daguan turned his gaze back to Feng Shike's side again, and said with a smile: "If there is something going on with Feng Gong, you might as well say it directly." ”

Feng Shike sighed and said, "I have a niece who married Wang Heng, the son of the old man of the Taicang Wangge.

Now that Wang Heng has come to Suzhou to study, my brother is afraid that this son-in-law will suffer, so he entrusted me to come to Suzhou to have a look. ”

The big families in Jiangnan all marry each other like this, and there are a lot of relatives and relatives.

Lin Daguan almost blurted out the sentence "Divorce quickly", but he held back the words.

He vaguely remembered that in history, Wang Xijue's son Wang Heng was destined to kill his wife, and it seemed that a wife died every few years.

I don't know how many nieces Master Feng is, if nothing else, I'm afraid that I won't have a few years to live.

But if you know what you know, you can't say it, otherwise you will have a grudge.

Anyway, when they heard Master Feng mention Wang Heng, Lin Daguan roughly understood what he meant, and he probably wanted to "make peace".

Then he turned to Shen Erye, and asked knowingly: "Li Hong is your brother-in-law?" ”

When there are outsiders, Second Master Shen usually has a paralyzed face, and replied coldly: "No." ”

Lin Daguan was shocked, isn't it?

Could it be that because he rejected Li Hong, Second Master Shen didn't even recognize this relative?

If that's the case, that's a bit of a touch.

Immediately afterwards, Second Master Shen said calmly: "He is really not my brother-in-law, but my brother-in-law." ”

Lin Tailai immediately felt that he had been moved in vain just now.

In fact, Second Master Shen felt a little pity in his heart, if Lin Tailai was born a few years earlier, eighty percent would be recruited by his father.

Master Feng sighed again and said, "You refused to allow them to enroll now, which made them very embarrassed."

They were all young and handsome people of the Suzhou Mansion generation, and they could have become friends. ”

Lin Daguan sorted out his thoughts and responded: "Over the years, I have helped many people, and now many people want to seek my help every day.

I've also made a lot of friends over the years, and now there are a lot of people who want to get my friendship every day.

However, no one is capable of helping everyone, nor can they give friendship to everyone. ”

Second Master Shen and Master Feng couldn't say anything, this time it was Zhang Fengyi, the oldest person, who was curious, and asked, "What kind of person can get your help and friendship?" ”

Lin Daguan replied: "I never look at family background, wealth, and talent when making friends, but mainly look at two words, fate!" ”

Listening to the ears of the other three, Lin Tailai said this as if he didn't say it, what is fate?

Lin Daguan said casually: "I have a lot of fate with Master Feng, so I fulfilled the name of Lord Feng's loyalty and became a retro general."

I am also very close to Second Master Shen, so I praised Second Master Shen to become the leader of the Renewal Society. ”

Second Master Shen didn't want to reason in circles, so he asked directly: "Ming people don't say secret words, Li Hong is my brother-in-law, and you are my sons and daughters."

Can you give me this face, don't be like Li Hong and them? ”

How to answer at this time is the most test of a person's speaking skills. Lin Tailai can't say it directly to Second Master Shen, he just won't give you this face.

After thinking about it, Lin Daguan replied: "Zi said, the wise are not confused, the benevolent are not worried, and the brave are not afraid.

As for Wang Heng and Li Hong, the two of them can't understand the painstaking work behind the arrangement of their elders, which shows that they are stupid.

Of course, if it's just stupidity, it's not a problem, and there are a lot of stupid people around me, but stupidity is a problem if you don't know it, so the wise don't confuse this article must be gone.

At the same time, they will cause me a lot of trouble, but still be on top; They may need my help, but they don't have a sense of gratitude.

Finally, if the two of them can be here in person to apologize, I also admit that they are at least responsible.

But they only dare to hide behind and let you come forward to turn around, and the brave are not afraid of this.

So what is there for me to befriend two people who are unwise, unbenevolent, and courageless? ”

Lin Daguan's tirade made Second Master Shen's brain buzz, and he said a little impatiently: "Even if they are two pigs, isn't my face worth two pigs?" ”

Lin Tailai said: "Second master, you are also a person who has participated in the imperial examination, and you have experienced the matter of being reported and then your grades invalidated.

So you should be able to anticipate the risks I might face, right? ”

Second Master Shen nodded subconsciously, and when he said this, he was a little empathetic.

Lin Tailai has been too capable of tossing in the past two years, and has repeatedly intervened in court politics, and has continuously dealt a heavy blow to the anti-Zhang Juzheng fundamentalist forces and Qingliu forces.

Therefore, Lin Tailai will definitely be stared at, as long as he is on the list after the exam, he will definitely be reported or even reviewed.

Lin Tailai immediately picked up and said: "Everything is inferior, only the imperial examination is high!"

What could be more important to me than the imperial examination? In this case, the less risk is definitely better, and less is better!

If both of these people are outstanding in quality and ability, then it is not impossible to take risks and tide over difficulties together.

However, these two biases are unwise, unbenevolent, and courageless, and will only bring me greater risks and troubles, so how dare I be tied up with them? ”

In the end, Lin Daguan threw out a small moral kidnapping to Shen Erye:

"Do you want to see that I know that I will be dragged down by them and trap myself to death, but I also want to take them with me?"

Having said that, Shen Er was speechless.

He had to admit that Lin Tailai's concerns were justified, and at the same time, he began to complain in his heart that the performance of those two people was too poor.

When he Shen Yongjia, the leader of the renewal social league, used Lin Tai to do things, he had to greet him well, why couldn't those two people put down their bodies?

Feng Shike and Shen Er had also discussed before, and this time they asked Lin Tai to make peace with Shen Er Ye.

But seeing that Second Master Shen had been blocked and had nothing to say, Master Feng also felt helpless, and glanced at Zhang Fengyi, who had been brought to accompany him.

Zhang Fengyi could only come forward and say: "Wang Heng and Li Hong may not be able to save face because they are from noble backgrounds and are still young." ”

Lin Daguan responded very dryly: "Since you can't pull your face down as a person, then don't come out to test your fame and take a career path, Ansheng Home is the best." ”

Second Master Shen stood up and walked out, saying as he walked, "I don't care about this!" I shouldn't have been in the first place! ”

Seeing that the main lobbyist Shen Erye was leaving, Feng Shike and Zhang Fengyi had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.

Lin Daguan was thoughtful for several weeks and sent the three of them out of the ceremony.

Today, Gao Changjiang also came out to accompany the guests, and at this time he stood behind and sighed lightly: "I am close to getting married, and I already have the heart of self-reliance in the hall." ”

The brothers of the Zhang family who left and right protectors said suspiciously: "Isn't it a bit unkind to sit in the hall?" ”

Gao Changjiang replied, "What do you know? Sitting in the hall is clearly taking advantage of this incident to test the reactions of the people around you!

Those who are bluffed by the names of the first assistant and the university scholars or have other ideas, and dare not stand firmly on the side of the hall, will be labeled as untrustworthy from now on!

Didn't you notice that even Second Master Shen was unwilling to distance himself from the museum for the sake of his brother-in-law?

The purpose of sitting in the museum is to tell the world that as the overlord of Suzhou and the brother-in-law of the household department, he is on an equal footing with the elders, not a vassal of the elders! ”

When Master Feng came to Suzhou this time, he still lived in the Zhang family's Qiuzhiyuan, so he left with Zhang Fengyi.

Today, Master Feng failed to persuade Lin Tailai to accept his niece and son-in-law Wang Heng, and he was very depressed.

Now Wang Heng's student status has been transferred from Taicang Prefecture School to Suzhou Prefecture School, but if he is obstructed by Lin Tailai and cannot enroll normally, he will fall into a state of not relying on both sides, and he will be in trouble later.

At the very least, the registration for the township test is a big problem!

The next day, when Zhang Fengyi and Feng Shike went out together again, they saw his younger brother Zhang Youyu lying upright in the doorway, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, while drinking heavily.

"Yo, how were you doing yesterday? Looking at your faces, as I expected, it will definitely not work out! The drunken Zhang Youyu laughed.

Zhang Fengyi said angrily: "You can expect a fart!" Get up and get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

The crazy Zhang Youyu sat up on the ground and said unconvinced: "How could I not have expected it? When you left, I knew we were doomed!

In my opinion, there are two major elements that need to be successful in seeking Lin Tailai!

First, please have an identity that can suppress Lin Tailai, such as me, a teacher! Second, take out enough or even exceed the benefits and give them to Lin Tailai!

If you can't do these two things, you still want to impress Lin Tailai, no way! ”

Feng Shike thought about it according to Zhang Youyu's train of thought, and found that this was still nonsense, because there was no "exceeding" benefit for Lin Tailai at all.

At present, what Lin Tailai wants most must be fame, but he can't give this.

Others such as money, beauty, farmland, reputation, etc., Lin Tailai does not lack these at all, and others can't give them better.

At this time, Zhang Youyu picked up the wine gourd, took a few big sips of wine, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and continued:

"The most ridiculous thing is that you should have gone to ask Lin Tailai for benefits and let Lin Tailai make offerings to you!

But you don't have this consciousness at all, it's just that the host and the guest are reversed, and they are casually manipulated by Lin Tailai. ”

Feng Shike: "."

Looking for Lin Tai to ask for benefits? This crazy celebrity really dares to think and dare to say, isn't he afraid of being sunk in a bamboo basket?

Oh yes, this is Lin Tailai's teacher, that's fine.

Zhang Fengyi, who was the eldest brother, had a dull face, and couldn't help but scold: "How many catties did you drink today, and you actually talked nonsense in front of the guests!" ”

Zhang Youyu laughed a few times in the sky, and said: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it!"

How much do you fear Lin Tailai psychologically, causing you to lose the ability to think, and you can't even understand such a simple thing? ”

Feng Shike immediately responded to Zhang Youyu and said, "I'll give you fifty catties of wine tomorrow!" Please seniors make it clear! ”

For the sake of the face of fifty catties of wine, Zhang Youyu, who wanted to pretend to be forced to run, said patiently:

"If according to Lin Tailai's ideas, Wang Heng and Li Hong are excluded from enrollment, affecting the registration of the township examination, or simply not allowing them to participate in the township examination, then who will benefit the most?

Didn't you think that the biggest beneficiary was none other than Lin Tailai himself? ”

Afraid that others would not understand, Zhang Youyu explained: "To be honest, they can only rely on the first assistant to pass the imperial examination.

Originally, our Shoufu needed to protect three people, Lin Tailai, Wang Heng, and Li Hong.

If Wang Heng and Li Hong are both squeezed and unable to participate in the township test, or are not worth protecting, then the first assistant needs to be protected, wouldn't Lin Tai be the only one left?

In other words, at that time, Lin Tailai will enjoy the full protection of Shoufu alone, and there is no need for anyone else to share.

If Shoufu protects three people at the same time, he may not be able to be thorough, but if he only protects one person with all his might, it will definitely not be a problem.

Wouldn't that be the best outcome for Lam? ”

Zhang Fengyi and Feng Shike stood on the edge of the threshold, their brains seemed to have been struck by lightning, and everyone was stunned.

According to Zhang Youyu, Lin Tailai deliberately excluded Li Hong and Wang Heng, and was unwilling to join forces with these two people, putting on a posture of "with him without me", not because he didn't want to be held back by these two people, but because he wanted to enjoy the care of Shoufu alone?

Why didn't they find the crux of the problem from this perspective?

Zhang Youyu said to Feng Shike very sincerely: "Instead of begging Lin Tailai to accept Wang Heng and Li Hong, it is better to blackmail Lin Tailai on the condition that Wang Heng and Li Hong directly withdraw from this imperial examination!" ”

Feng Shike was stunned for a moment, and then said to Zhang Fengyi: "Is it only after getting drunk that you can have a brighter mind than your predecessors?" ”

Zhang Fengyi shook his head and said, "Brother Feng, you are a kind-hearted person, so naturally you can't think of those tricky angles. ”

Zhang Youyu shouted again: "Feng Er! I heard that you have been having a hard time lately because your Feng family has broken up.

There are many brothers in your generation, and you are a generous and loyal person, and you have given most of your family property to your brothers!

In the end, you didn't get much of it yourself, so you're in a lot more embarrassed now than you used to be?

If you don't have money in your hand, you will be sad this day, and I know it deeply! Especially for a communicative celebrity like you, it's even harder to get in the circle if you don't have money! ”

"Shut up!" Zhang Fengyi scolded angrily, how can he tell the truth to the outside?

Feng Shike smiled and said, "Money is something outside the body, why pity? ”

Zhang Youyu said: "So don't worry about any nieces and sons-in-law, let Lin Tailai guide you!"

For example, I bought ten acres of land on the south bank of the Xu River the year before last, and now the land price has risen several times! ”

Zhang Fengyi stared at Zhang Youyu suspiciously, and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that Lin Tai taught you these words?" ”

Zhang Youyu quickly got up and walked to the courtyard, shouting in his mouth: "There is nothing to do! Don't think about it! ”

Zhang Fengyi looked back at Feng Shike, and said with a wry smile: "Lin Tailai is afraid that we are too stupid, and I can't understand his deep meaning, so I actually arranged for my little brother to reveal it." ”
