Chapter 35 Night Talk in the Du Mansion

Chengtianmen Street.

Dufu.

Du Mansion was particularly quiet after nightfall. After Du Cheng finished dinner, he sat by the pond in the courtyard drinking tea and enjoying the coolness. At this time, Butler Zhang from Du Mansion hurried over to him.

"Sir, Master Meng is asking for an audience outside the mansion."

"It's so late, what's he doing here? Invite him in!"

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Meng Xianli appeared in front of Du Cheng, "Brother Du, you are enjoying your life here while enjoying the cool air and drinking tea. You are living a very comfortable life!"

"I am an old man who is about to die. What else can I do besides drink tea? Okay, your dignified chief minister of the cabinet came to my door in person. He definitely didn't come to me specifically to drink tea and chat. If you have anything to say, please just tell me!"

"Brother Du, you have wronged me. I really came here to chat with Brother Du."

"Okay, since you won't tell me, I'll just assume you're here to chat. Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

"Hey……"

Meng Xianli let out a long sigh, "Brother Du! Your Wang Nian gave me a huge problem, you have to help me!"

When Du Cheng heard this, he immediately became interested and his eyes began to shine, "What big problem did Mr. Lin give you? Tell me!"

"He came up with two first couplets, but I couldn't come up with the second couplet after thinking for a day. The first couplet is about smoke locking willows in the pond. The second couplet is about lotuses and monks. I also asked Brother Du to help me with the staff. , give me some advice.”

Du Cheng knew the secret of these two couplets after a moment's thought, and then shook his head, "Old Meng! If you don't, I won't help you. As I get older and older, my brain is no longer good. Well, I think you might as well just go ask Mr. Lin directly."

"Brother Du didn't know something. Lin Feng said it when he asked the question in court. He couldn't think of a second link, so he asked us for advice."

"It's already amazing to be able to come up with such a wonderful first couplet. If he can also come up with the second couplet, it's probably unlikely, right?"

Du Cheng smiled, "Brother Meng! It's impossible for ordinary people, but is Mr. Lin an ordinary person? I heard you are right, he must know the second line, and there may be more than one."

"More than one? How is this possible?"

Seeing Du Cheng's confident look, Meng Xianli quickly changed his words and asked, "Brother Du, why are you so confident in Lin Feng? Is there any unknown secret here?"

Just as Du Cheng was about to speak, he saw Butler Zhang appearing in front of him with two more people.

"Student Gu Zhang paid homage to his mentor and met Mr. Meng Ge."

"Xia Yuan, the lower official, has met two pavilion elders."

Du Cheng smiled and said, "You two are here to see me for a match, right?"

"Teacher, Mr. Meng Ge has told you this. I wonder if my teacher has a link?"

Gu Zhang and Xia Yuan looked at Du Cheng expectantly.

Du Cheng shook his head, "No, you might as well go directly to see Mr. Lin when you come to my place."

Just as Gu Zhang and Xia Yuan were about to speak, they were interrupted by Du Cheng waving their hands.

"Okay, you two don't need to talk anymore. Listen to me telling you something. After listening, you will understand."

"When he was in Jiangling City, Lin Xiaozi opened a restaurant called Tiantianju. At that time, he wrote a couplet to the scholars and officials in Jiangling City - guests come to Tianranju, and they are guests from heaven."

"Lin Xiaozi promised on the spot that whoever can guess the correct link within a quarter of an hour can enjoy free treatment in Tianranju for life."

Gu Zhang looked at Du Cheng with excitement, "Teacher, has anyone come out?"

"What do you think? If you have the ability, would you like to teach me a lesson?"

"At that time, everyone at the scene willingly chose to admit defeat. Finally, at the request of everyone, Lin Xiaozi gave two second lines on the spot."

"Really? Teacher, please tell us about those two lines of the second line!"

Gu Zhang, Xia Yuan, Meng Xianli all looked at Du Cheng.

Du Cheng shook his head with a smile on his face, "No, I can't tell you the second line so happily, you should think about it yourself first!"

The three of them smiled and began to think seriously...

Du Cheng just drank tea and admired the night view. Time passed little by little, and soon, Du Cheng drank the entire pot of tea.

"How's it going? Have you figured it out yet?"

"Teacher, Lin Feng's first couplet is about the same difficulty as the two first couplets he mentioned in the court. Can Lin Feng really make two second couplets? This is incredible!"

"Brother Du, don't whet our appetites anymore, tell us now and let us learn a lot." Meng Xian said politely.

"Okay, the first line is - the monk travels to Yunyin Temple, the temple hides the cloud wandering monk. The second line is - people pass the great Buddhist temple, the temple Buddha is bigger than people. How about it?"

Meng Xianli slammed the tea table and stood up, "Wonderful! These two lower couplets are so matched! It seems that Lin Feng really cannot be treated as ordinary people."

"His Majesty personally said that Lin Feng is a young sage. The student was a little unconvinced at first, but now that his teacher said this, he is indeed worthy of the name of a young sage." Gu Zhang said.

"Mr. Du Ge, to be honest, Xianguan has a very bad impression of Lin Feng. He broke the child's hand in the first place. Xianguan spent a lot of money to hire Doctor Hua from Luming Mountain, and then his hand was restored to its original state. .”

"I can't believe that a playboy who fights for a dancing girl can have such knowledge? Young sage, what a high honor that is!"

"Mr. Du Ge has been friends with Lin Feng for many years. I must know something about him. I also asked Mr. Ge to give me some advice. I am very grateful." Xia Yuan bowed his hand respectfully.

"Master Xia, you don't have to be like this. To be honest, I have been with Lin Feng for nearly half a month, but I still can't see through him. Needless to say, in terms of knowledge, but in terms of how he behaves, he is really a playboy. Look."

"Wang Zhong, the governor of Jiangzhou, is my student. When he was in Jiangling City, I specially ordered him to investigate Lin Feng. Since Lin Feng's father Lin Chen passed away, Lin Feng, who was only eight years old, slowly became He is a dandy who spends all day doing nothing, eating, drinking and having fun. During this period, Lin Feng also passed the imperial examination twice, but unfortunately he did not even pass the examination as a child."

"The conflict between Lin Feng and Xia Yan broke out in Chunxiao Pavilion. They were in a coma at home for three days. When they woke up, they lost their memory."

"Since then, Lin Feng has become what you see now. Although he still looks carefree, not only will he not do things like molesting women from good families on the street, but he also has a negative impact on Jiangling City. Ordinary people are also very friendly.”

"You may not believe it, but now Lin Feng's prestige in the hearts of ordinary people in Jiangling City is beyond the reach of even Wang Zhong, the governor of Jiangzhou."

After Du Cheng finished speaking, the scene became quiet, and everyone was thinking. Time passed little by little, and the night gradually deepened...
