Zhu Youxiao was thinking about his carpentry work. After talking to Zhang Ma for a while, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Zhang Yan finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, does Madam Fengsheng also know that Lin Ping'an is a Tianmai practitioner?"
This question has been lingering in her mind for a long time. Ever since the Hakka came to Kunning Palace and made a show of power two days ago, she has been a little suspicious.
Because it is impossible for the Ke family to show favor to Lin Ping'an for no reason, and to be so enthusiastic as a matchmaker for Lin Ping'an, there must be a big reason for this.
Zhang Yan thought about it and felt that there was only one possibility, and that was that the Hakka family knew the identity of Lin Ping'an's Tianmai practitioner.
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he turned around and took a deep look at Zhang Yan, and said with a very solemn expression:
"I have only told you about this, Queen, remember this!"
After saying this, he walked out of Kunning Palace.
Looking at Zhu Youxiao's leaving figure, Zhang Yan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she said to Gao Qiqian behind her:
"Go and ask Dean Lin to come to my Kunning Palace."
.
Shi Mansion!
Shi Qian looked at Shi Fenglai and shouted:
"Dad, please tell me, what does your majesty mean by this? Lin Ping'an's desire to defeat Yan Xiaoxiao is simply an idiot's dream. Isn't this marriage grant just a joke!"
Shi Fenglai looked at his somewhat irritable son, shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Jiu Qiansui took care of this matter himself. He went to the Flower Director specifically for this, and got the Flower Director's approval."
"But it's obvious that Yan Xiaoxiao doesn't want to marry Lin Pingan. This incident has become a joke in the capital. Where do you want to put Lin Pingan's face?"
Shi Qian shouted very dissatisfied. He was a man of temperament. With his character, he should have gone to Lin Ping'an's courtyard with gifts to congratulate him as soon as he heard the news.
But it was for this reason that he hesitated to move.
Because I don’t understand the situation!
Everyone in Kyoto thought this was a joke. If Lin Ping'an was also feeling ashamed about this matter, and he came to the door with a gift, wouldn't he be suspected of being slapped in the face and a joke?
But he couldn't keep pretending not to know about this, so he was very anxious.
Shi Fenglai naturally understood Shi Qian's thoughts, but he also couldn't understand this matter. Now that he heard Shi Qian ask him, he was thinking about it even more.
After thinking for a long time, he said:
"Whether this is a joke or not, you should go see Lin Ping'an. After all, you recognize him as your eldest brother. No matter what, you have to stand by his side."
After saying this, he walked out and prepared to find Wei Zhongxian to inquire about it. Zhuyuan's gift of poems was of great significance, so naturally he couldn't pretend to be stupid and turn a blind eye to the matter.
Shi Qian watched his father walk out the door, scratched his head, took out a stack of banknotes from the cabinet, put it in his arms, and then walked out of the door.
.
Bamboo Garden!
The four great talents were sitting together and discussing this matter.
"This marriage farce in the capital is really making people laugh and cry."
Wei Wuya spoke first.
"I think there must be some secret behind this farce that we don't know about."
Song Zhice shook his head and said:
"Think about it, why did His Majesty suddenly value Lin Ping'an so much and even bestow upon him a person like Yan Xiaoxiao?"
"Who knows." Liu Wushuang mused, "But I am becoming more and more interested in Lin Pingan."
"Yes, Lin Ping'an is young and mature. Not only did he become the director of the Imperial Hospital of Ming Dynasty at a young age, but he also has outstanding poetic talent."
Jiang Xingzhou said: "The most astonishing thing is what he said in Zhuyuan that day. Although it was just casual talk, it directly hit the current shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said to hit the nail on the head!"
When talking about this matter, everyone was moved.
Ye Wushuang slapped the table and shouted:
"On that day, he mentioned that he would start the industrial and commercial tax. A few days later, His Majesty issued an order to start the industrial and commercial tax. This is very interesting."
Hearing this, the other three people nodded repeatedly and thought deeply.
After a long time, Wei Wuya finally spoke:
"The four of us have been in this Bamboo Garden for several years. We originally wanted to imitate the Donglin Academy of the past, but unfortunately, people have been very talkative and have had little effect. I do have an idea."
After the words fell, the eyes of the other three people lit up, as if they had guessed Wei Wuya's next words.
"Although I don't know what kind of secrets Lin Ping'an hides, in my opinion, this person is a crouching dragon in the pond, and he will definitely fly into the sky. I might as well drag him into our Bamboo Forest Academy. By taking advantage of the situation, we may be able to achieve something. You and my heart desire.”
This sentence made everyone a little excited. Song Zhice patted the table and said:
"Brother Wuya's words are very true. Now that Lin Ping'an has become famous, all the scholars regard him as an idol. If he is in charge of our Bamboo Forest Academy, all he has to do is raise his arms and the scholars in the world will rise up and respond. When the time comes, our Bamboo Forest Academy will The academy may become the second Donglin Academy.”
Jiang Xingzhou acted more cautiously. He waved his hand and said thoughtfully:
"This matter is not trivial. Lin Ping'an is now just the director of the Imperial Hospital, and Lieutenant Feng Guo is just a false name. It will be difficult to reach the heights of Donglin Academy back then.
"But other than that, you and I have no other good ideas."
Liu Wushuang spread his hands and sighed:
"The four of you and I have been dormant here for a long time. Even though we have the ambition to serve the country, the day when we can get ahead is far away. As the saying goes, time is not waiting for us, so I think it is feasible!"
Jiang Xingzhou nodded silently, then suddenly smiled and said:
"Perhaps I am overly worried. The Donglin Party is now in decline under Wei Zhongxian's deliberate suppression. For us, this may really be an opportunity."
Wei Wuya reached out and patted him, stood up and walked a few steps, then stood still and said:
"It is said that Wei Zhongxian personally mentioned this marriage to His Majesty. It can be seen that this person has no ill feelings towards Lin Pingan, and if Lin Pingan marries Yan Xiaoxiao, then the person standing behind him is the night watchman, the legendary The flower director!"
This sentence immediately made everyone excited again, and Song Zhice shouted:
"Don't forget, the Empress also accepted Lin Ping'an as her adoptive brother a while ago. Don't you think this is also puzzling?"
Everyone nodded again and again. Various signs showed that Lin Ping was definitely not the Wolong in the Pool. If this person were to preside over Zhulin Academy, he could actually create the second Donglin Academy.
"But as far as I know, Lin Ping'an's marriage has become a joke in the capital."
Liu Wushuang said: "So whether he can get the support of the Night Watch is still unknown."
His words immediately made everyone feel a little depressed. Yes, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Yan Xiaoxiao was trying to evade this matter. Although His Majesty granted the marriage, it was still unknown whether the two could really become husband and wife.
"Okay, we don't need to think too much."
Wei Wuya said: "The top priority is that we should make good friends with Lin Ping'an through the marriage grant and wait for an opportunity to persuade him to come to this Zhulin Academy."
After saying this, he stood up, waved to the other three people and said:
"Let's go. Today, the four of you and I will go visit Lin Ping'an. If the excitement of the wedding is over, it will be hard to find a reason to come."
.
Lin Ping'an didn't take the marriage grant seriously, but the fermentation of this matter made others intolerable.
Sylvia Lin spent all day either in the restaurant or in the perfume shop. In the past few days, all he heard about Lin Ping'an was the marriage.
In everyone's discussions, Lin Ping'an became a joke without exception.
This made her a little unbearable, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Yan Xiaoxiao.
"You clearly don't want to marry the young master, but you still do it. Isn't this a slap in the face?
It’s a shame that we still call you Sister Xiaoxiao! "
She complained in her heart. She was holding back her anger and wanted to confront Yan Xiaoxiao, but she couldn't see Yan Xiaoxiao's face for several days, which made him even more upset.
"Is she embarrassed?
cut! If I had known this, why bother in the first place! "
So when she talked about this matter with Liu Rushi at night, the latter clenched his fists, stared at his big eyes and shouted:
"Sister Xiaoxiao is going too far, I must argue with her!"
Lin Ping'an naturally didn't know these things, but what surprised him was that Fang Wen and Feitian Bat actually wanted to teach him martial arts.
Especially the flying bat, which used both hands to squeeze Lin Pingan's body all over, and then said with satisfaction:
"Although the young master has never practiced martial arts, his bones are still good. From now on, Lao Fang and I will start teaching you. Given time, it is not impossible to defeat that little girl Xiaoxiao."
Fang Wen also nodded repeatedly on the side, and also made a plan for Lin Ping'an to practice martial arts very seriously.
In Fang Wen's plan, Lin Ping'an had to get up before dawn, stand and breathe, and also soak his body with medicine...
Lin Ping'an looked at this plan and almost fell to the ground. He shouted in his mouth:
"I'm not a martial artist, so please don't torment me, okay?"
Fang Wen shook his head and said seriously:
"Whether the material is used for martial arts training is not up to the young master. Maybe more people will force you to practice martial arts from now on. You must be mentally prepared."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ping'an immediately shouted: "Who else would force me to practice martial arts when they are full and have nothing to do?"
The flying bat on the side said slowly:
"Mu Lie loves Miss Xiaoxiao very much. He will never allow a weak person to marry Miss Xiaoxiao."
"Lei Zhen from Fenglei Pavilion has watched Miss Xiaoxiao grow up. It won't be long before he will take you to Fenglei Pavilion."
After hearing these two sentences, Lin Ping'an suddenly felt his scalp numb and shouted in his heart:
"Sister Xiaoxiao, you might as well refuse this marriage in person, aren't you trying to trick me!"
