Lin Wanrong sighed silently in his heart. How could he break the thousand-year-old concept of hierarchy by himself? He had a body full of strength, but he couldn't do anything. Or rather, he couldn't be bothered to do anything. Facing these geniuses who lived like princes, what else could he say? Was he going to talk to them about natural rights and equality for all? Forget it. Since we walk different paths, we can't work together. I'm not on the same path as them. Moreover, even if I wanted to promote equality for all, would anyone believe it in this era? Would anyone accept it?
The more Lin Wanrong thought about it, the more helpless he felt. In the end, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Forget it. I'm not trying to save humanity, and I don't need to guide the development of history. How can I care about these things? That's all I have to say. You geniuses can do whatever you want. I don't have time to play with you.
He came and went as he pleased. He didn't bother to greet anyone. He brought the Young Cousin and left. Lin San's position in Young Master Li's heart was like that of a god. When Guo Wuchang saw Lin San's invitation, he didn't even ask and immediately followed him.
"Brother Lin …" Luo Ning couldn't care less about her master. She held her dress and caught up to him. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother Lin, I'm sorry. It's all my fault …"
"Miss Luo, I've said it before. It's not your fault. I just can't stand it anymore. Sigh, I can't help it. I'm just a righteous person. "Lin Wanrong said righteously.
Luo Ning didn't laugh after hearing his joke. Instead, tears rolled down her cheeks. "Brother Lin, I know you're kind and don't blame me. But this is all because of me. If I didn't drag you here, this wouldn't have happened …"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "No, it's my fault. Maybe I'm not on the same path as you guys. "
These words made Luo Ning completely sad. She cried even harder, "Brother Lin, I know you look down on me. I only know how to daydream and I don't know how to do anything. What talented girl? It's just an empty title. Other than causing trouble for others, I can't do anything."
Lin Wanrong lamented, "Miss Lo, don't belittle yourself. Everyone has a dream, it's just that they pursue it in different ways. You are right, at least there is a dream. I don't even have the right to dream. "
Luo Ning stared at him with tears in her eyes, "Brother Lin, I don't understand what you're saying."
Lin Wanrong smiled and shook his head. "You don't need to understand. Sigh, I'm really tired today. I feel a little hurt in my heart. Miss Lo, let's hug. It's very pure. Consider it as a form of comfort. "
Luo Ning jumped in fright, her heart thumping wildly. This Big Brother Lin's way of thinking was too unique. She didn't know how he managed to jump.
Lin Wanrong teased Luo Ning. He didn't know why, but his heart felt uncomfortable. He was too sad and angry today. Thinking of his life in the past, he suddenly sighed and said, "In the past, I peed against the wind for ten feet. Now I wet my shoes with the wind. Everything in the world is like this — — "
He suddenly said these two incomparably rude words. Everyone was shocked and couldn't understand the meaning behind his words. Looking at his expression, it was actually incomparably lonely and depressed. No one could understand it. Luo Ning saw it and felt that the distance between her and him had increased by who knows how much.
Luo Ning pulled his sleeve and said softly, "Brother Lin, although your words are crude, I feel that compared to the poems we wrote, the things in your heart are the spring snow."
Confidant, this is what you call a fucking confidant. I'm so crude, but in this girl's eyes, it's actually the spring snow. Lin Wanrong was so moved that he wanted to cry.
"Don't worship me. I'm very disgusted with this. It's more practical to give some real money. " He said with a smile. He let go of his thoughts quickly and withdrew them quickly. In the blink of an eye, the loneliness on his face could no longer be seen.
Seeing Lin San speak so crudely and unrestrainedly, Mei Yanqiu couldn't bear it anymore and said harshly, "Lin San, do you think you can leave just because you want to? Do you think you're invincible just because you know a few couplets? If you humiliate me, it's the same as humiliating all the scholars in the world. If you go to the capital in the future, you will definitely have a hard time. "
"Humiliating you is the same as humiliating all the scholars in the world? Can you represent all the scholars in the world? "Lin Wanrong said with disdain," Mister Mei, you overestimate yourself. "
Seeing the surrounding scholars looking at him, Lin Wanrong smiled coldly and said, "To represent all the scholars in the world, one must have the ability to represent all the scholars in the world. I've known Mister Wen Zhang for a long time. Even a scholar like Mister Wen Zhang doesn't dare to say that he represents all the scholars in the world. Mister Mei, although your tone is big, your knowledge is far too lacking. "
Everyone in the Jin Ling Publishing House had heard of the incident at the Qing Yu House in Hangzhou. They knew that Lin San and Xu Wenzhang were acquainted, so what he said should be true. What kind of person was Xu Wenzhang? He was the number one scholar in the dynasty, the role model of all scholars in the world, and the idol in the hearts of all scholars. Although Mei Yanqiu was also known as a scholar, he was not on the same level as Xu Wenzhang.
Seeing Mei Yanqiu's pale face, Lin Wanrong snorted and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll come up with a couplet today. If Mister Mei can match it, then it's my loss. I'll personally go to Mister Mei's house to apologize. "
The Young Cousin was very tactful and said, "What if Mister Mei can't match it?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "If Mister Mei can't match it, my request is very simple. I want her to personally go to the fields and act like an old ox, plowing a few mu of fertile land, and see how we, the lowly people in her eyes, work hard to live. If she still can't answer after three years, then I want her to not insult the word 'national studies'. "
His words were extremely arrogant, but no one doubted him. After a few rounds of confrontation, everyone understood that Lin San was indeed talented. That day when he defeated Shen Ban Shan, it was definitely his true ability. In the past, he was the one who answered other people's couplets, but today, he had to come up with a couplet. Needless to say, it was extremely difficult.
Mei Yanqiu knew that he had met a hard brick today, and he couldn't back down in front of so many students. He could only clench his teeth and say, "If that's the case, then please enlighten me."
Luo Ning had just spoken a few words with Lin Wanrong, and her heart was already restless. Seeing that the relationship between her master and Lin Wanrong was getting worse, she was even more afraid. She hurriedly stood between the two of them and said, "Brother Lin, you can come up with a couplet, and I'll answer on behalf of my master. If I can't answer, then I'll replace my master to plough the fields."
Although Lin Wanrong felt that she was understanding, he would never give in when it came to a matter of principle. He laughed loudly and said, "Miss Luo, don't be mistaken. I'm not asking your master to plough the fields to harm or humiliate her. I just want her to experience the life of ordinary people like us. To be honest, this is actually an honor for her. If she was as arrogant as usual, she wouldn't even be qualified to carry the shoes of that sister-in-law. "
Luo Ning still wanted to say more, but Lin Wanrong sighed and said, "Miss Luo, everyone has a reverse scale, and I'm no exception. Your respect for your master is one thing, but your master's character is another matter. Please don't say anymore. "
Mei Yanqiu was a little unyielding and said loudly, "Ning 'er, come back. Don't beg him."
Among everyone present, the most difficult one was Luo Ning. She didn't want her master to plough the fields if she lost, and she also didn't want Brother Lin to beg for forgiveness if he lost. Between these two dilemmas, it was hard to make a decision.
Lin Wanrong said loudly, "Today, when Mr. Mei wrote the couplet, he didn't use any palindromes. My couplet is the same. Whether it's fair or not, everyone will know when they see it."
After saying that, he didn't say anything else. He took out a pencil from his pocket and wrote a few words on a piece of white paper. Everyone took the paper and saw a few wild and unrestrained words written on it: "Chickens and dogs crossing the frost bridge, plum blossoms and bamboo leaves along the way."
Luo Ning took a glance and frowned. This was a double metaphorical couplet. Plum blossoms and bamboo leaves were the scenery, but they were also the footprints of chickens and dogs on the frost bridge. Although it wasn't a palindrome, it was still very mysterious. How could it be so easy to match? However, just as Lin Wanrong had said, this couplet didn't use any tricks to make things difficult for Mei Yanqiu. It could be considered fair.
Everyone saw that Lin San was already so skillful. Coupled with his performance just now, it was clear to them that Mr. Mei was going to lose this round.
Mei Yanqiu stared at the couplet in a daze for a long time. Her face alternated between red and white. Even Xu Wei might not be able to match this couplet, let alone her. She clenched her teeth and didn't say anything.
Everyone knew the result from her expression. Needless to say, Mr. Mei had lost. After this commotion, no one in Jinling dared to mention couplets in front of Lin San anymore.
The Young Cousin secretly pulled on Lin San's clothes and looked at him with admiration, "Lin San, where did you learn this couplet technique? Can you teach me?"
Lin Wanrong faintly smiled and sighed, "Young Cousin wants to learn it? Of course you can. Starting tomorrow morning, read eight hundred collections of classics and history every day. You can master it in ten years. "
The Young Cousin stuck out her tongue and said softly, "So difficult. Fortunately, my Xiao Family has Lin San, so it won't take ten years."
Mei Yanqiu suddenly said loudly, "Lin San, I can't answer your couplet. Could it be that you copied the Eternal Absolutes from somewhere? It's really unfair for me to match it in such a short time. "
Lin Wanrong sneered, "You said it's the Eternal Absolutes, so naturally, no one can match it now. Am I right?"
Mei Yanqiu saw his sharp gaze and was a little afraid, but she forced herself to say, "Of course no one can match it."
Lin Wanrong laughed and wrote, "Swallows fly through the embroidered curtain, jade scissors and gold weaves half the window."
He smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Mei, I'm actually able to match the Eternal Impossibility that you mentioned. What do you say? "
