Daming talker

Chapter 161 This is called a bosom friend!

At Lin Tailai's table, several other people at the same table were representatives of Changzhou County students.Before, they treated Lin Tailai, an outsider who stole the limelight, with a relatively distant attitude.

But after Shen Yongjia came to the table, the situation changed immediately. Several scholars wanted to socialize with Shen Erye.

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

Shen Yongjia deliberately ignored Lin Tailai and turned to talk to the others.

A sociable scholar said skillfully:

"My friend Shen came from a noble family, but he is willing to live in seclusion in the city, and does not care about fame and fortune, just like the great sages of ancient times!"

Shen Yongjia: "."

puff!Lin Tailai couldn't hold back, and the wine spurted out of his mouth.

This friend from Changzhou County, who didn't know the truth, said as much as he could.

It's not good to try to get close to saying something, but I have to start with why Second Lord Shen lives in seclusion at home, which pot is not open and which pot to carry.

Shen Yongjia silently blocked all these people in his heart, and then turned around numbly.

Anyway, when he faced strangers, his face would be paralyzed, and no one else could see any change in his expression.

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

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

It's just a county magistrate, and it's not worth letting Mr. Zaifu take the initiative to toast.

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

Is this trying to pretend to be a tiger?Second Lord Shen also lost his temper, and scolded: "I'm not your prop!"

Mr. Lin placed the jug heavily on the table, and said with a sad and indignant expression, "You treat me like this!"

Second Young Master Shen was taken aback, why are you so impatient?
Official Lin complained again: "In your eyes, am I just a villain who can only use you!"

Suddenly hearing the truth from Lin Tailai, Second Master Shen was a little confused and didn't know how to respond.

As long as you understand this kind of thing in your heart, if you say it openly, what will happen to the relationship?
But it doesn't matter, the second son of Shen has a unique skill of facial paralysis, so all he needs to do now is to keep his expressionless face quietly.

Lin Tailai sighed and said, "How do you know my painstaking efforts! In fact, I just thought that you can transfer your household registration to Changzhou County."

Shen Yongjia: "???"

I really couldn't hold back that damn curiosity, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you transfer to Changzhou County?"

Lin Tailai replied: "You have already been expelled from Wuxian County School, and it is absolutely impossible to return to Wuxian County School according to the usual practice.

But if you can transfer your household registration to Changzhou County, you might be able to enter the county school in Changzhou County in the future and regain your fame.

At least in theory, this kind of feasibility exists. As long as your father has enough courage (face) and strength (skin), there is still a high probability that there will be no unparalleled road. "

Mr. Shen Gui immediately stood up and said in a friendly manner, "Then we should represent the people of Wu County to congratulate Yuan Xianzun on his appointment in Suzhou City."

Lin Tailai: "."

You, Shen Er, are not stupid, the transition from "toast" to "congratulations" is so smooth.In this transformation, one can finally see a little bit of being a father.

Regardless of the reason for drinking, Yuan Zhixian didn't mind, anyway, he fulfilled his wish to get to know Second Master Shen.

After drinking with the new magistrate of Changzhou and returning to his seat, Second Young Master Shen suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Then he asked Lin Tailai: "Since you have such an idea, why didn't you say it three months earlier?"

Lin Tailai asked back: "Why did you say that?"

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

In this case, even if I can win the fame again, wouldn't I also become your junior with a famous name? "

Lin Tailai was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought of this, mainly because he was not sensitive to seniors and juniors.

He responded casually, "That's not impossible, I don't mind."

Second Young Master Shen patted the table and didn't want to talk anymore.

Not long after that, the magistrate of Yuan County was overwhelmed with alcohol, and the reception banquet held in the lobby of the county government ended.

This made Mr. Lin a little strange. How could Yuanzhi County drink so little?
As far as he knew, the gang of Gong'an faction were all alcoholics and sex addicts. It is impossible for them to drink badly, so none of them would live long.

Most of the people dispersed, only a few people supported the drunk Yuan Zhixian to the back hall of the county government office.

After 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 came to a realization. Could it be that Yuan Zhixian hated red tape and official procedures, so he deliberately pretended to be drunk just now, so as to end the reception banquet early?
He is indeed a great writer who can read middle school textbooks, but he is different from ordinary vulgar officials.

Seeing Yuan Zhixian sitting on a chair as light as a swallow, after drinking two sips of tea, he couldn't wait to ask: "Are there any elegant prostitutes in this city?"

Lin Tailai: "."

As expected of a great writer who can read middle school textbooks, this temperament is too literary!Speaking is something that cannot be written in textbooks.

After identification, the rumors that the literati of the Public Security School like to indulge in alcohol and sex are indeed true.

When thinking of this, for some reason, Mr. Lin thought of the hippies in the Lighthouse Kingdom in the 70s in the time and space of his previous life.

Li Jixuan applauded and laughed, "The second match is the real start of the night, but I have to ask the locals about the second match."

Official Lin summed it up and said: "The gates of the city have been locked, and the Shangtang, Shantang, and Nanhao outside the city wall cannot be visited, so they can only move around in the city.

You can go to Li Pianpian's house in Leqiao. Another advantage of her house is that it is located in Changzhou County, so there is no risk of being impeached for crossing the border. "

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

"Ranking fifth is not a disgrace to the honor of the county!" Lin Tailai replied, "If you can promote her to the top four next year, wouldn't it be more elegant?"

It's not that Lin Daguan appreciates Li Pianpian so much, but mainly because Zhang Youyu, an old man, still owes Li Pianpian a sky-high bill.

Bringing Xinzhi County over today is to help Li Pianpian gain fame and profit, and let her cancel the previous bills.

On the other hand, the county magistrate has a high vision, and ordinary vulgar makeup fans can't catch the eye, so he can only deal with it by finding the fifth in the flower list.

Hearing the words, Second Young Master Shen 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 young master Shen, is he reserved by nature, or is he not a womanizer?"

Senior official Lin sighed, and replied: "The county lord doesn't know something, the Shen family is weak and can't support the arrogance of a big family, so the task of spreading branches and leaves on Shen Erye is too heavy!

Therefore, some of his kidney water is not willing to be wasted outside, and all of it must be reserved for the wives and concubines at home. "

Thinking about the record of the second master Shen Jiashen with nine sons and twelve daughters in history, you can see how hard the second master Shen worked to strengthen the family.

In fact, Mr. Lin is no longer envious of feasting, feasting, and wit and flair. Instead, he envies Second Master Shen's freedom and chicness of coming and going whenever he wants, without looking at other people's faces.

Or to be more specific, envy the confidence and strength that can support this kind of freedom and chic.

Looking back at myself, how much effort did I spend today in order to quickly get closer to Yuan Zhixian, who I met for the first time?
Even one of the four irons in life has to be used!
Yuan Zhixian refused the official sedan chair, went out in micro clothes, and walked to Li Pianpian's home in Leqiao with Li Jixuan and Lin Tailai's two "helpers".

Lin Tailai sent Zhang Wen to run forward, and first went to Li Pianpian's house to make a stop.

From Changzhou County Government Office to Leqiao, it is the central area, the streets are bustling, and there is still a constant flow of people in the early night.

After all, Yuan Hongdao took office as a new official, so he felt something in his heart.While looking at the street scene, he sighed: "As the saying goes, serving as an official will benefit one side.

But looking at the magnificent scenery in the city, it seems that I don't need my official to benefit anything. "

Lin Tailai replied: "Suzhou city's political difficulties are not in the city, but outside the city. Because the money and food are all outside the city, this is the most important performance evaluation for the county lords."

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

"Before I heard that this year's plum season is rainy and there are minor floods, I'm afraid it will not be easy to make a full quota this year!

I wanted to open a farm to help the poor, but who would have thought that it would be blocked by the government again! "

Hearing that Yuan Zhixian never forgets to open warehouses to help the poor, and even talks about it on the way to find fun, Mr. Lin gradually understood the heart of the writer Zhixian.

Generally speaking, when a writer is an official, most of them want to show some face, and they all want to make some official voice.This is to prove to the world that I am not only good at literature, but also political achievements.

Opening a warehouse for relief is the easiest way to gain reputation, and it must be the virtuous government praised by all people, so Yuan Zhixian never forgets it.

After figuring it out, Mr. Lin said, "Actually, opening a storehouse for relief can only alleviate the problem for a while, but it can't solve the fundamental problem."

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

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

Nowadays, the water conservancy has been in disrepair for a long time, and the waterways are mostly silted up, so if there is a little more rain, there will be flooding.

There have been some waterlogging disasters for two consecutive years, which shows that the silting of waterways in various places has become relatively serious, and this is the fundamental problem.

There are still three years in the county's term of office. He can plan water conservancy, carry out dredging and dredging continuously, and alleviate the disaster, which is nothing less than benevolent government. "

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 is there to be embarrassed about, could it be that a gentleman is ashamed to talk about profit?You two and eight, you three and seven are all right.

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

Su Dongpo created Su Causeway, Bai Juyi created Bai Causeway, and Fan Zhongyan created Fangong Causeway, which are still famous thousands of years later.

Lin Tailai slapped his thigh suddenly, Yuan Xianzun, you should have said it earlier, he is a professional in making a name for himself!
So Lin Tailai showed great enthusiasm and asked in a tempting tone: "Have you heard of Sanjiangkou in Wudi?"

As a great writer who has read a lot of poetry and books, Yuan Hongdao replied without thinking:
"Why don't you know? "Shangshu·Yugong" said that the three rivers entered, and Zhenze Pingding.

"Wuyue Spring and Autumn" says that the king of Yue will choose the dead to go out of the mouth of the three rivers and enter the five lakes; and Fan Li resigned from the king of Yue and go out of the mouth of the three rivers and enter the five lakes in a flat boat.

But according to my official knowledge, the Sanjiang Estuary was silted up and annihilated thousands of years ago due to changes in terrain and waterways, and disappeared from the world! "

Lin Tailai replied: "So you can make Sanjiangkou reappear, so you are afraid that you won't be able to retain your official reputation in future generations?"

Yuan Hongdao couldn't help laughing, and lightly reprimanded: "You are talking nonsense!

What are the three rivers in "Shang Shu"? People who have interpreted the scriptures since ancient times have different opinions, and there is no consensus!
The bifurcations of the ancient Wusong River, the ancient Loujiang River, and the ancient Dongjiang River generally referred to are also in the north of Wujiang County. What does it have to do with Changzhou County? "

Lin Tailai replied: "Maybe it is a good idea to enlarge the layout of the county venerables. The south of Changzhou County is adjacent to the north of Wujiang County. Who knows where the ancient Sanjiangkou is located?

According to the water potential in the south of Changzhou County, you can dig some river channels and dredge the water flow, and then you can claim that this is the original site of the ancient Sanjiangkou!
Is it impossible for a scholar not to read the Four Books?As long as you have read "Shangshu" and related interpretations, who doesn't know Sanjiang?

Who in Suzhou can not read "Wuyue Chunqiu"?As long as you have seen it, who doesn't know the mouth of the Three Rivers?

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

Yuanzhi County: "."

What is a confidant, this horse is called a confidant!

It's my luck to meet such a confidant local just after taking office!
After regaining his senses, Yuan Zhixian asked again: "Even if the corvee is collected, it will cost money and food. Where will it come from?"

Lin Tailai shook his head and sighed: "We could have used the Jinong warehouse in the county, but now the Jinong warehouse is controlled by the government, alas! Alas! Alas!"

After talking about it and hearing about Jinongcang again, Yuan Zhixian said: "The government office is too much, wait for me to think about it!"

Lin Tailai hastened to "remind" him: "The government official is quite harsh, and the county official must hold back when he is wronged."

At this point, they 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, the senior officials ran to Sun Lianlian's house to spend the night because it was relatively close to Shen's residence.

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

Second Young Master Shen sat in the corridor of the Ming Hall, waved his fan and said, "I thought about it, maybe I shouldn't be self-willed last night, I should have accompanied Yuan Zhixian."

Mr. Lin, who worked very hard yesterday, yawned and casually responded:
"It's nothing, I'm satisfied if you can show your face, An dare to look forward to Shu."

Shen Yongjia asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Lin Tailai continued to answer: "It's better if you go later, without you present, I can perform better by myself!"

The second son of Shen always felt that this sentence was not a good word, but there was no evidence.

Then he asked again: "You said to others, what kind of leader of the update agency am I, did I agree?
Let me tell you now, I don't agree to be the leader of this Lao Shizi! "
