Chapter 25: I Really Didn't Write It......
Yin Qingyue obviously sensed this as well, coughed, and said to Lu Ping:
"Although the academy usually requires you to be more involved in the classics and do more practice, but the six arts of the gentleman are also compulsory, since you are talented in writing the right words, why do you need to hide it?"
When Lupin heard this, he was even more dazed, and said in amazement:
"Me, I"
His stunned expression fell into the eyes of everyone, and he felt extremely realistic, and this Deputy Mountain Chief Yin Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled:
"Lu Ping, you really know the way of gentleman's humble retreat, you have hidden it from us before, but now it is inevitably a little late, Lin Fengjin has already said it all, you are doing this storm with him when he was drinking!"
"I'm doing this with him while drinking??" Lupin repeated dumbfoundedly. The wind and rain couplet was the No. 1 hot topic in Tianchang Academy at this time, how could Lu Ping not know the way? With a small amount of energy, he even secretly thought about how good it would be if this couplet was written by himself! Unexpectedly, his wish came true, and a huge pie fell from the sky!!
At this time, Lupin looked at the envious gazes around him, and the owner of those gazes was originally the target he wanted to look up to!
Fortunately, this person is like what Gu Xian said, after all, he still has the talent to lift people, so when he was about to open his mouth to admit it, he suddenly thought of a very important thing, that is, he obviously has nothing to do with this association, why should Lin Feng push this kind of good thing to himself?
Then Lupin immediately thought that if he nodded his head to answer the matter, then he would inevitably be in the ranks of the must-invite for all kinds of literary meetings, all kinds of examinations, and difficulties were endless, and he couldn't prevent it, and when he thought of this, he shuddered, but the prestige and glory he had dreamed of in the past. It's in front of me, nodding and just that! It's hard to decide!
Lupin's temperament was originally a little soft, so he stood in place, and the heavens and men had been fighting for a long time in his heart, but after all, he sighed dejectedly, and said with difficulty:
"I haven't drunk with Lin Fengjin at all, this, Lian, I didn't write it. ”
Hearing this, Lin Fengjin sighed secretly. If Lu Ping admitted it at the time, he would have been ruined in a minute! Because he had said it before, he heard this couplet at a drinking banquet, and according to the relationship between Lu Ping and Lin Fengjin, it was absolutely impossible for the two of them to sit together and drink alone! That is to say, there must be other people next to him! As long as the others ask deeply, where can Lu Ping find the rest of the people to complete this lie for him?
After listening to Lupin's answer, everyone was immediately in an uproar, but many people looked at Lupin's eyes with some disdain. Because the way of a gentleman lies in sincerity, that is, the openness and decisiveness of knowing for knowing, and not knowing for not knowing.
If Lupin came up and flatly denied it, then many people would have to look up to him. But the man hesitated for a long time. It is difficult to deny it, and it is obvious that he has the intention of pretending to admit it! This kind of behavior does not tolerate the idea that there is no room for sand in the eyes of many people.
Yin Qingyue obviously didn't expect Lu Ping to deny it, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Therefore, he said sternly and unrelentingly: "Lu Ping, this matter is related to the face of the academy!
Lupin let out a long sigh and said:
"Mountain chief. I really didn't do it. ”
Yin Qingyue took a deep breath and said with a pale face:
"Lin Fengjin!Lin Fengjin!!"
A scholar came over and whispered to him with a strange face:
"Just now, Senior Brother Lin said that he had a bad stomach in the morning, and he confessed again. ”
Yin Qingyue's belly-filled anger couldn't find a place to vent for a while! And there were many heroes here, and he couldn't have the slightest rudeness, so he could only swallow it raw.
And the rest of the people saw that things were actually turning around, and they felt more and more interesting, not to mention that the origin of the "wind and rain" couplet is unknown, and the rest of the people are just fine, if the scholars and Confucians of Donglin Academy are not able to find out, they are afraid that they are really dead and do not close their eyes!
However, the current situation is also funny, a group of young and handsome people, old and old people gather together, but they are not holding any literary clubs, leaving behind any masterpieces. Instead, they were waiting for a seventeen-year-old boy to finish giving birth! The strange thing is that no one planned to leave, but there were more and more people.
Don't talk about this situation, even if someone told them a day ago that this kind of thing would happen to them, it is estimated that they will be directly slapped in the face, and directly let him roll as far as he wants.
After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, just when Yin Shanchang was eager to call someone to find Lin Feng out, this guy was finally late.
After pushing the door open, Lin Fengjin was obviously mentally prepared, but there was still an innocent look of astonishment on his face, and he was about to speak, when Deputy Mountain Chief Yin had already shouted angrily:
"Lin Fengjin!!You said that the wind and rain couplet was made by Lupin and you when they were drinking, but now Lupin is here to deny it, what do you say!!"
Lin Fengjin faced the angry shouts of the deputy mountain chief, but he sighed and asked Lu Pingdao:
"You really didn't write it?"
How could Lu Ping not know that Lu Dao was deliberately correcting him by Lin Fengjin at this time, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly:
"Lu is not so talented. ”
Lin Fengjin sighed, and then smiled at Deputy Mountain Chief Yin:
"Chief, I think it's because the student recognized the wrong person after getting drunk......."
Lin Fengjin's answer immediately caused a burst of laughter in the audience, although it was forced to suppress himself, but it was very obvious, Yin Qingyue's eyes were dark, if he didn't have to take care of decency in front of so many guests, he would not be able to ask for a ruler at this time, and go to the family law! He gritted his teeth and said:
"This kind of thing, how can you recognize the wrong person?"
Lin Feng said incomprehensibly:
"Mountain chief, it's just a couplet, and I'm still drunk, what's all the fuss. ”
When Yin Qingyue heard this, she was even more angry and wanted to speak, but she heard Lin Fengjin say a little gloomy:
"Besides, the memory of students has never been very good, otherwise how could they be admitted to Tongsheng at the age of seventeen. ”
Deputy Mountain Chief Yin suddenly felt that he almost had nothing to say! He originally wanted to scold Lin Fengjin, are you an idiot? Where is someone who talks about his shame every day?
But Lin Fengjin himself admitted that he was indeed very dull - otherwise how could he have been enlightened at the age of seventeen, but he was so self-defiled that others wanted to attack him again with this point, and there was no threat.
However, at this time, a person appeared in time and finally saved Deputy Mountain Chief Yin Qingyue from the brink of gaffe. Shen Dao, the decent principal of Tianchang Academy, finally came here, and since he came, the rest of the people naturally had to take a back seat.
Shen Zhi is a clear old man, although the reputation of Tianchang Academy is not very famous, but Shen Dao's reputation has been long-lasting, during the period of serving as the head of Tianchang Academy, he has continuously written "Asking the Law", "On Ancient Laws" and other works have been published, and even can influence the revision of criminal laws in various countries, which can be called everyone. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is famous all over the world.
At this time, Shen Zhi looked at Lin Feng for a long time, but he said kindly:
"I heard your conversation just now, and I agree with what you said, but now do you remember the person who wrote the storm?"
Lin Fengjin continued to say simply:
"I really didn't write it, I remembered, it wasn't Lu Ping who drank with me, but Wang Tie. I heard it from his mouth. ”
Shen Zhi smiled slightly:
"Who is Wang Tie and where is he at this time?"
Lin Fengjin said very happily:
"He just collected a few hundred catties of lychees from the countryside of Canggui and is resting at home. ”
Everyone began to be in an uproar, this Wang Tie is a businessman, and it seems that he is still Lin Fengjin's family servant, how can he make a storm?
Shen Shanchang looked at Lin Fengjin and said kindly:
"Then can you call this Mr. Wang Tie to come here?"
Lin Feng said respectfully:
"No problem. ”
So soon, Wang Tie came to the scene as a special guest, and after listening to the inquiry, the five big and three rough men in the rivers and lakes also said very happily:
"Half a month ago, I went to Chuting in Guangnan to traffic goods, and when I passed by Guangji Temple, I spent the night in the temple, and I saw this couplet on the white wall of Xiangji Kitchen (the canteen of the temple). ”
Everyone immediately froze, this Nima is a dead answer without proof!!Why did the people who did not attack the academy and the people of the Wude Academy return halfway, because the mudslide caused by the torrential rain washed away the road to Chu Ting. Unfortunately, it was in that mudslide that Guangji Temple was destroyed, and the matter was rumored along the way:
Some people say that the bald donkey in the temple did not abide by the rules and precepts of the Buddha's punishment, some people said that they heard the strange sound of the dragon chanting that night, and the dragon lord came, and some people also said that the Guangji Temple actually suppressed a demon, and escaped during the thunderstorm.
But no matter how many reasons for the destruction of the temple are, there is only one fact: Guangji Temple was destroyed, so the threshold that Wang Tie said he saw on the Baizhao Wall: whether there was a wind and rain union or not, has since been buried under thousands of tons of soil and gravel
Yes, this is Lin Fengjin's careful arrangement, using an excuse that has no evidence to cover up possible future troubles. However, in any case, as long as someone mentions this wind and rain alliance, it is inevitable to mention Lin Fengjin's name. It is equivalent to Lin Fengjin not having to bear those cumbersome sequelae, but also making his reputation rise slightly.
Of course, there's a deeper meaning to what he's doing, but it's supposed to be used as a hole card. If Lin Fengjin rashly uses it now, then it will really hurt others and himself, so Lin Fengjin will not do this unless he has to. (To be continued......)
