Chapter 35: The Words of the Mantis Arm

The car stopped at the West Garden of Zhutang, Lin Jian and Xiaoman got out of the carriage, took down the silver makeup knife that Song Jia was carrying, and said to the beautiful woman in the car: "Zhutang is a place to teach, and it is ominous to carry a knife, and there is a quiet room specially set up for female relatives to listen to and separate it from the lobby. If you can, you have to ask the young lady to give a message to the luxury family on behalf of Lin......"

Song Jia didn't get angry because she coerced Lin Tie over, and sat there quietly listening to what Lin Tie would have to say to the luxury family.

"There is a saying since ancient times: those who can eliminate the harm of the people and return to the people are also for democracy. Although the luxury family has different aspirations, they are brutal and unkind, and they infringe on the world and harm the people's livelihood for their own selfish desires. At first glance, there is an unstoppable general trend, but Lin is not talented, weak as a mantis arm, and crazy desire to block the car...... The young lady can give this to the luxury family. ”

Song Jia lifted the curtain and looked at the back of Lin Jian leaving; Luxury Mingyue turned her little face to look out, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and said disdainfully: "What is he talking about, is he going to swear to be incompatible with our luxury family?" ”

The coachman and the maid who unloaded the weapons came with him, standing beside the carriage and his face was bloodless, Song Jia reprimanded in a low voice: "Whoever dares to talk nonsense when you go back, cut off your tongue carefully!" The coachman and the maid nodded busily, not daring to disobey the young lady's intentions at all, the young lady and the young lady forced the swineherd to ride in the same car, and the matter was known to the young marquis, maybe they would lose their temper.

Song Jia sighed lightly in her heart, thinking that Lin Lian's deployment on Xisha Island was really going to fight against the luxury family to the end, thinking that even if he used Mingyue's marriage to recruit him, most of them would not be able to succeed, right? As if he had put down a matter in his heart, he folded his white hands on his lap, and smiled with his sister-in-law Hao Mingyue: "A man who dares to speak big is always cuter than a person who is only a promise......" looked up at the curtain in front of him, with the words "women's room" written on it, thinking that the estuary force is still small, and the elite soldiers are only three or five hundred, which is not a big scale, Lin Tie is also attached to Gu Wuchen, but the faint bearing is faintly revealed, but few people can reach it, I don't know how my father will evaluate him when he sees Lin Tie?

*********

Sun Wenwan and Wen Pei were surprised in their hearts that Lin Tie suddenly got into the carriage parked on the side of the street, followed the carriage and walked over, just outside the moon gate, they heard Lin Tie say the words to Song Jia and Hao Mingyue in the carriage to make a statement, they were stunned for a while, and waited until Lin Tie and Xiao Man, who was dressed as a handsome little man, came out of the room, and then took a half step back in a panic to salute.

Lin Jian saw that it was Sun Wenwan and Sun Wenpei's cousins standing outside the moon gate, bowed their heads, and left without saying anything.

Sun Wenwan looked at Lin Lian's departing back, and chewed on what Lin Lian said to his aunt and sister-in-law: weak as a mantis arm, crazy desire to block the car, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Sun Wenwan thought carefully about Lin Binding's behavior in Jiangning for nearly a year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is always a madman who tries to block the car with the mantis arm, fighting with the feudal family, fighting with Wang Xueshan, fighting with the Qu family, and fighting with the East China Sea Kou, which time is not bullying the strong with the weak and blocking the car with the mantis arm? Like others, he also regarded him as a madman who was on the throne, gambled and took risks in order to win the favor of the Chu Party, but he never thought that he had the grand wish of "eliminating the harm of the people and returning to the people" in his heart.

Now he is desperate to send all the resources in his hands to Xisha Island, and he also wants to block the Donghai Kou who has the support of the princes and luxury families behind him!

Thinking that he persuaded his father to get out of battle with the idea of the foundation of the Xihe Society during the Battle of Hekou, Sun Wenwan's face was a little hot, thinking that if Lin Jian was selfish and selfish in everything and disregarded the overall situation, he would not have rescued and resettled the displaced people on Xisha Island, and he would not have fought bloody battles in Jiyang to repel the Donghai Kou, and then Jiangdong would be in chaos, how could the Xihe Society be alone?

Sun Wenwan was ashamed and regretful in her heart, just like a little girl who had done something wrong, looking at the back of Lin Lian leaving, she couldn't do anything.

"Hey, Lord Lin shouldn't suspect that we came here on purpose to eavesdrop, right?" Sun Wenpei saw Wanniang thoughtfully, thinking that she was worried about this, "He is really, there are still women in the carriage, why did he get into someone else's carriage, it seems that it was not a gentle gentleman?" ”

"Maybe he never disdained to be a decent man......" Sun Wenwan came back to her senses and said faintly.

Although the bamboo hall has a special women's room, Sun Wenwan and Wen Pei are both dressed as men, and they don't want to sit in the women's room separated from the lobby to listen to the lecture, so they go around the lotus pond with broken flowers and leaves to the lobby.

***********

Lin Jian didn't go to the lecture hall, and there was still some time, so he took Xiaoman to Dongmin first.

He set up the Zhutang East Garden as a special occasion for collecting and sorting out materials and books and compiling the "Craftsman's Dictionary" and "Will Make Annotations", Ge Siyu, director of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry and deputy supervisor of the Longjiang Shipyard, did not go to the official office to be on duty today, and saw Lin Lian walk in, grabbed him and said: "There are many scholars from the Xixi Society, and Chen Mingzhe, who was ordered to return to his hometown to complete the marriage, is also among them, I am afraid that he will come to smash the field......

"If they dare to mess around, I'll blast them out, if you want to roll up your sleeves and fight, I'm afraid they won't succeed?" Lin Jian rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "If it's about learning, what is there to worry Shu Han about?" ”

Changsun Geng, Zhao Qinmin, Gu Siyuan, Zhang Yubo, Liu Xilin and others all gathered here and laughed.

Zhao Shuhan was not too worried, and only said with a smile: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and the sage also said that 'there must be my teacher in the three-person line', who dares to boast that Haikou is all-encompassing?" Besides, they are less likely to target me, and more likely to target you, and if they want to have a headache, it should be your headache. ”

Lin Jian smiled and said: "Then there is nothing to worry about, I don't like to argue with others, don't keep my mouth shut, even if the Xixi Institute comes out, what can I do?" ”

At this time, a young man in Tsing Yi walked in and talked to Zhao Qinmin in his ear, Lin Jian saw that Zhao Qinmin's face became ugly, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Qinmin said embarrassedly: "Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting also came over together......"

Ma Weihan is the assistant of Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion, and Zhao Qinmin once served with him, so it is inevitable that he will be embarrassed when he encounters it here. After Gu Wuchen was appointed as the envoy and stabilized his position in Jiangdong, the threat to Zhao Qinmin's life was eliminated, and no matter how stupid Wang Xueshan was, it was impossible for him to make a move that angered Gu Wuchen at this time.

Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting are both born as children, but they are the same as Lin Lian, no one will treat them as insignificant pawns, many times, many occasions, Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting represent Wang Xueshan and Li Zhuo behind them. Maybe Chen Mingzhe came on behalf of Yu Xinyuan or Chen Xiyan, but Chen Mingzhe himself is the champion of the world, and he is the leader of the younger generation of Xixi Society.

Lin Jian said: "Today is Lord Zhao's speech, let's not take the lead, Hei Yuan can go out with Lord Zhao......" That is, no matter how much he sympathizes with Gao Zongting, he can't be too close to him on this occasion, so as not to pass on the wrong signal to others.

Gu Siyuan arched his hands towards Lin Lian, Zhao Qinmin, Zhang Yubo and others, and walked out with Zhao Shuhan.

Lin Lian glanced at Gu Siyuan's departing back, and then pulled Ge Siyu aside to ask about shipbuilding matters.

No matter how cold their attitude is, Ma Weihan and Gao Zongting will also send someone to entertain when they come over. Zhao Shuhan is the person who is lecturing today, of course, he has to come forward, Lin Jian asked Gu Siyuan to go to the entertainment together, which is also a gesture, recognizing Gu Siyuan's status as the young master in the Gu system, and letting him represent Hekou. After returning from Jiyang, Gu Siyuan became much more pragmatic, and his posture became much calmer, with few condescending and aggressive words and deeds; In other days, he would not have been able to attend today's occasion, perhaps he still had a dismissive attitude towards miscellaneous craftsmanship in his heart.

Lin Jian also knew that the estrangement between each other was difficult to eliminate, especially since he had his unswerving goal. As far as Gu Wuchen's goal at this time is concerned, he is still thinking of the phase of a supreme minister, and he can't jump out of the cage of party strife, and he doesn't have the courage to use young officials from other factions.

Zhao Qinmin saw Lin Lian arranging this, but he only smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Gu Wuchen spent his main thoughts on Dongyang Xiangyong at this time, but Dongyang Xiangyong's affairs did not allow Lin Jian to interfere, so it was inconvenient to prevent him from exporting a large amount of resources to Xisha Island. In any case, those displaced people have taken root and settled down on Xisha Island, and the strength of the township camp on Xisha Island has been strengthened, which is always conducive to the situation on the eastern front, after all, the local organization and training of township courage is something that Gu Wuchen has promoted, so Gu Wuchen does not urge Lin Jian to transfer his manpower back from Xisha Island.

Zhao Qinmin has been at the mouth of the river for so many days, and he can't see through how much strength Lin Jian has hidden, and the same is true for Gu Wuchen. For the subordinates who can't see through the details and show such a sharp edge in the battles of Hekou and Jiyang, no one dares to let go of it.

The little guy came in and reported that Zhao Shuhan and Gu Siyuan accompanied Ma Weihan, Gao Zongting and others to Xiyuan directly, and Lin Jian and Zhao Qinmin and others walked through the corridor to the lecture hall.

Zhao drunken ghost led all craftsmen to build a bamboo hall, the bamboo hall that covers an area of more than two acres is integrated, surrounded by a long corridor, although it is separated into the east and west garden, in fact it is still a single bamboo building, very spectacular. The place of teaching is the sixteen-step square Xuantang, except for the four walls and the beam frame of the roof, such a large room is not even a support column, which shows that Zhao Drunken Ghost uses bamboo.

More than 100 people had gathered in the hall to listen to the lectures, peddlers, pawns, scholars, and officials, very mixed, Lin Lian and they were about to come over, there was a commotion at the door, and some screamed voices asked loudly in another passage: "Miss Su Mei will show her singing voice later?" But it was Su Mei who came over and went to the women's room from that aisle.

Lin Jian felt as if he had eyes staring at him, and turned his head to see Chen Mingzhen and seven or eight other Xixi scholars gathered in the corner of Xuantang to look at him. In addition to Chen Mingzhe, there are also two people who also know Lin Tie, both of whom were the first in the township test last year, but they went to Yanjing to participate in the test and fell first, and after returning to Jiangning, they also regarded Lin Tie as an outlier and had no contact.

Although their eyes were not good, Lin Jian also hugged his fists and smiled, telling them: Come and smash the field, even if you come.
