Chapter 442: The Disturbing Lin Mansion (Part I)
In fact, Lin Zhuangyuan's golden post of the annunciation is also a family letter, which was sent to his home in Suzhou two days earlier than the official document.
It may be because the name of the first assistant is borrowed from the cover, so the speed is slightly faster.
When the housewife Wang 15 saw this special family letter, she trembled with excitement, and finally calmed down.
Whatever means are used, this is a miracle, and who doesn't want it to happen at home?
Wang 15 touched his already huge belly, the day of giving birth was probably these two days, and the miracle was the best news he had heard before giving birth.
However, Mrs. Wang suppressed her excitement and didn't tell anyone about it for the time being, but just put away the gold post of the Good News.
Then I found someone to spread the word that I was going to visit my in-laws.
Suzhou Canglang Pavilion Lin Mansion is a large mansion with five roads and seven entrances, and Lin Lao Guozhong and Lin Mu Lin Song both live in a courtyard in the northeast.
It's not that Lin Tailai is unfilial, but that the northeast corner has sorted out four points of fields, so that Daddy Lin can continue to enjoy the joy of the countryside.
The old couple are not strict people, and when they heard their daughter-in-law say that they wanted to meet, they hurriedly replied and asked their daughter-in-law, who was about to give birth, to lie down and not move, and wait for them to come over.
Gao Changjiang, the executive vice president of Hengtang College, the head of the Storyteller's Office, the informal external manager of the Lin Mansion, and the self-proclaimed think tank of the Lin Group, was also called.
When he entered the outer hall of the second gate, he saw the queen and the mother lying down, talking to the old lady and the old lady of the Lin family.
Wang 15 invited Gao Changjiang to sit down and said: "For two days in a row, I dreamed that a hundred beasts surrounded the outside of the house and bowed their heads in unison, and then the stars in the sky turned into unicorns and entered their arms, and then the red light filled the room, and the fragrance lingered. ”
Gao Changjiang: "."
Madam Wang, are you starting to prepare for the creation of gods?
As a former storyteller, Gao Changjiang is no stranger to these traditional cultures.
Then Wang 15 looked at Lin Song and continued: "I heard that when my mother-in-law gave birth to my husband, she also had the same dream? ”
Lin Song said a little embarrassed: "Ah, ah, yes, it's such a dream, I used to be afraid of being ridiculed by others, so I didn't dare to say it."
It's just that I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to have the same dream as me again. ”
After finishing speaking, Lin Song lowered his head in shame, he was over half a hundred years old, and it was the first time he said such an inappropriate word.
Gao Changjiang is no longer able to complain in his heart, and the supernatural statue is still added more than twenty years later? Do you want father and son to be supernatural?
Oh, that's what the history books do? That's fine.
Wang 15 looked at Gao Changjiang again and asked, "I heard that Mr. Gao is knowledgeable and proficient in interpreting signs, but I don't know why this is a sign?" ”
Gao Changjiang hurriedly congratulated loudly from the bottom of his heart and said: "When the supernatural image appears, there will be a supernatural person who will come into being!" The upper can be stable and stable, and the lower can be the lintel! ”
Wang 15 thanked him and said, "Then Mr. Tuo Gao's auspicious words!" ”
After Gao Changjiang came out of the Lin Mansion, he went directly to the storyteller's office and began to arrange the work of disseminating public opinion.
Whether he believes it or not, what needs to be done is still to be done.
For supernatural things, it is generally only outsiders who believe in them, and the closer they are, the less they believe in them.
But even if they don't believe in their hearts, they encourage outsiders to believe and defend their divinity in front of outsiders.
Two days later, Mrs. Wang of the Lin Mansion was about to give birth, and it is said that she had the same supernatural dream for three consecutive days before giving birth.
Father Lin, the eldest brother and third brother of the Lin family, as well as Shen Erye, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Youyu's old brothers, Song Quan, Gao Changjiang and other close figures, all gathered in the outer hall and waited.
I don't know how long I waited, but I faintly heard a woman's cheer coming from the inner courtyard.
A servant girl rushed from the backyard and shouted from afar, "Young master! It's a young master! ”
Before everyone in the hall could react, they saw Menzi leading a government clerk into the courtyard.
The government clerk held up a big red sticker and shouted, "Good news!" The government has received the imperial court's spring communiqué!
Guifu Lin Zhentailai master dominates, the capital is more than Lian Kui, and he even wins the champion of the Yuan! ”
The relatives and friends in the hall were shocked, and they all privately guessed that Lin Tailai might be able to get a jinshi, after all, there is a way for the first assistant.
But I didn't expect Lin Tailai to play so big! After Wu Zhuangyuan, he made a literary champion!
Could it be that on the side of the capital, Wen Zhuangyuan can also rely on martial arts to fight down?
When everyone came to their senses, the scribe shouted again: "There is virtue in the saint, the emperor's grace is mighty, the civil and military nine yuan, and the ancient and the present are shocked!" ”
After shouting these words, a large amount of happy money will be in hand, and it will be beautiful.
Fortunately, the lord of the mansion has recently admired him, so he appointed himself to wait at the gate of the Lin Mansion, and specially reported the joy when the newborn appeared.
When any normal person hears such a thing as Wenwu Jiuyuan, his first reaction is a miracle, and he is shocked!
Second Master Shen was the youngest, and he was the first to react, and said: "Brother Lin won nine yuan in a row, and his sister-in-law came, isn't this a double happiness!" ”
Gao Changjiang, who had read the book but read about the street, was in a trance, he used to be dismissive of the so-called miracles in other people's mouths, but now. Maybe you're superficial?
Could it be that the supernatural dream that the old lady and Mrs. Wang said about the beasts bowing their heads and the stars turning into unicorns is actually true?
Lin Zaokan and the newborn baby just now, is it really a person who came into being?
When the Lin Mansion encounters such a big happy event, it will definitely make a big deal and make a big noise.
But the most capable housekeeper is still lying in the inner courtyard and immediately in confinement.
So Lin Guozhong's father could only pick up the burden, and hurriedly called the eldest Lin Shilai, the third Lin Fulai, and Gao Changjiang, who was used to being called, to the side hall to discuss the next arrangements.
Boss Lin has always been in charge of the project, and the first thing that comes to mind is to build a large number of civil works
"This kind of glorious ancestor glorious, to rebuild the ancestral hall of the old home!" Lin Boss said, "Also, I see that other people's houses have archways, and my fourth brother has not repaired them, so this time I should repair them together!" ”
Father Lin hesitated and said, "When Wu Zhuangyuan was three years ago, wasn't the ancestral hall already rebuilt? ”
Boss Lin said: "This time we have to repair, and it will be bigger, otherwise how can we seek the blessing of our ancestors?" ”
Father Lin nodded after thinking twice, and asked again: "How to repair the archway?" ”
Lin Lao said arrogantly: "My fourth brother's archway can't be weaker than anyone in Suzhou!" Since it is said that he even won nine yuan, then repair nine archways! ”
Gao Changjiang next to him was powerless to complain, this is really a nouveau riche turtle!
Father Lin also felt that he was unreliable in cultural affairs, and consulted Gao Changjiang: "What does Mr. Gao think it should be?" ”
After thinking about it, Gao Changjiang replied: "According to the following, it is enough to repair two archways."
One article and one martial arts are enough to highlight the lintel and boast of the township. ”
Boss Lin was a little unconvinced and said, "How can two be enough?" I see that some people have several families, and they even have to get one for lifting. ”
Gao Changjiang retorted: "But these two arches can be built with the best stone to make the world's largest and perfect style!" ”
"How to fix it?" Boss Lin became a little interested at this time.
Gao Changjiang continued to reply: "Each archway can be supported by eight stone pillars, two rows of four columns, each stone pillar is three zhang high, the spacing is one zhang five, and above is a three-story archway!"
So the whole archway front is wide and three into five and a half zhang, the side depth is about two zhang, four zhang high, and the words can be engraved on all sides.
Such a memorial arch is built into two, one article and one martial arts, who does not admire in the world! ”
At this time, even Boss Lin was shocked, is this design an archway or a mixture of stone pavilion and stone pavilion and stone gate?
Imagine for a moment how spectacular it would be to have two large stone buildings spanning the street.
Then Gao Changjiang chattered about what moire was used, what carving was used, and who was invited to inscribe, which was very detailed.
Father Lin, who had never expressed his opinion, looked at Gao Changjiang suspiciously, the design plan of this eight-pillar big stone archway was so detailed, it didn't seem like it was improvised at all.
Gao Changjiang said with a wry smile: "When I was a child, I often fantasized about what kind of archway I would build as a memorial after I grew up and made contributions."
It's a pity that I have thought about it for many years, and I don't have the opportunity to use it at all, so I will dedicate this design to Lin Zaokan today! ”
Father Lin, who is kind-hearted, patted Gao Changjiang's shoulder to comfort him, and said to Boss Lin: "The front of this mansion is too quiet, and it doesn't seem to be suitable for repairing the archway. ”
At the beginning, for the sake of safety, the gate of the Lin Mansion was not opened to Wolong Street, the main road to the west, but between it and the Canglang Pavilion Garden, a private laneway, or a dead laneway that was blocked at the other end.
Generally, pedestrians walking on Wolong Street will not leave the main road and pass in front of the Lin Mansion Gate.
Anyone who appears uninvited and wanders outside the gate of the Lin Mansion must be suspicious elements.
So the question is, the purpose of building the archway is to publicly display the merits and boast in the township, if there is no outsider passing by the laneway at all, what is the point?
That's why Daddy Lin said that the front gate of the Lin Mansion is not suitable for repairing the archway.
Lin Boss fell into the excitement of building a magnificent stone archway in Suzhou, and began to calculate the construction plan in his heart.
When he heard his father's concern, he said disapprovingly: "The fourth brother's achievement is the pride of the whole Suzhou!"
No, the archway should be built on Wolong Street next to it, not just in front of the gate! ”
Father Lin said again: "If it is five and a half zhang across according to Mr. Gao's words, I am afraid that the street is not wide enough." ”
Boss Lin still disagreed, "First choose a suitable place, and if the width is not enough, you will demolish and spend money to buy houses on both sides of the street, and then demolish the houses." ”
Gao Changjiang reminded again: "You can talk to the official office and rename the next road to Jiuyuan Street."
A hundred years ago, because of the Shiyi Old Garden of Wang University, there was a bachelor's street in the west of the city, and now there is a Jiuyuan Street next to the Lin Mansion It is also natural. ”
it! Now even Daddy Lin is not calm, you readers dare to think and play!
The road next to it is Wolong Street, the most important main road running through the north and south of Suzhou, and it is also the dividing line between Wu County and Changzhou County in the city.
Renaming such the most important road in the city as Jiuyuan Street, are you Gao Changjiang crazy?
Gao Changjiang added: "You don't need to change it all, just change the southern section to Jiuyuan Street." You can try it, but how do you know if it works if you don't try? ”
Daddy Lin couldn't help but ask: "This is also what you fantasized about when you were a child?" ”
Gao Changjiang: "."
It should be said that this is what all readers fantasize about.
