Chapter 52 Chapter Twelve
Zhang Hanwen suddenly looked towards the second floor. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously filled with hatred.
Lin Zhiyan was startled by his appearance, while Lin Zhaoying pulled her behind him and looked back with cold eyes without giving in.
Zhang Hanwen was still afraid of Lin Zhaoying from the bottom of his heart, so he could only lower his head again. There was a dark light flashing across his eyes, and he said slowly: "I don't understand what cousin Ayan is talking about, and is cousin guilty?
I'm confused, otherwise why would you have my poems there?"
Lin Zhiyan's face turned pale, he was threatening her.
If she takes out the poems he wrote, then he will make her relationship with him public. At that time, the private exchange between her and Zhang Hanwen will be put on the surface for others to laugh at.
When she just said that she had poems that her cousin had written on a daily basis, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. Could it be that the current situation was too confusing and that her cousin was temporarily dull and narrow-minded? Could there be any misunderstandings about things here?
As long as she takes out these poems
But seeing Zhang Hanwen's expression after she said that, she understood.
It’s not a misunderstanding, Zhang Hanwen is just as stupid as a pig as the play says, vulgar and smelly. Even if he gained a short-term fame by plagiarizing other people’s poems, he can’t hide his despicable hypocrite!
She was blind-eyed and blind-hearted, thinking about him all the time. She even had a private meeting with him, which caused Sister Ran to fall into the water and be frightened, and she lay in bed for a long time.
Seeing Zhang Hanwen panicking in front of others, showing off his ugly face, and intimidating and tempting, Lin Zhiyan felt ashamed and disgusted in her heart. "It's all her fault until now. She was blind and mistakenly entrusted to the wrong person. Today
Even if she fights for her reputation and loses her reputation, she will cut off her black hair and go to a nunnery to make this man deserve what he deserves.
Lin Zhiyan opened her purse and wanted to take out the piece of paper.
This piece of paper was carefully folded and put in her most commonly used purse, but now she just feels ridiculous when she thinks of what she did before.
After she gives this piece of paper, she will jump down here and die. I just hope that what she did before will not bring shame to the sisters in the General's Mansion and delay their good marriage.
Lin Zhaoying looked at Lin Zhiyan's resolute expression and sighed in her heart: This person would rather be broken than destroyed.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, "I think my cousin is confused. I also have poems written by my cousin here. Isn't it normal to have poems written by my cousin?"
"I know that my cousin never knows how to behave appropriately when dealing with women, but Ayan is your cousin, the distinguished third lady of the General's Mansion. It would be better for my cousin to be more careful with what he says in the future."
Lin Zhaoying raised her hand, and dozens of pieces of paper with poems written by Zhang Hanwen flew down from the second floor.
"These are poems written by my cousin in my hometown of Jinyang. I happened to see them when they were sent to the General's Mansion before I could send them to my cousin. The person who sent the message said that most of the confidantes in your hometown have not been home for a long time after seeing you.
I have found someone else to marry, and I specially sent back the love poem you gave her to the trustee."
These papers were all bought from actresses from Congliang, a brothel in Zhang Hanwen's hometown. After Congliang, they had already changed their names and moved away from Jingyang, and most of them had married other people.
Zhang Hanwen had not returned for a long time and either climbed a high tree or died. I heard that someone was willing to buy these at a high price. The signatures on the left and right letters were their pseudonyms when they were in the brothel. It would not affect their future lives. Naturally, these women
Will not refuse.
The piece of paper fell towards Zhang Hanwen, like a slap on his face.
Other diners who were watching the excitement had already picked up the paper on the ground, read it, and laughed again.
The poems above were mediocre and boring, without any inspiration, but that was not why they were laughing. After all, they had known for a long time that he had copied those poems. They asked him to take a look at the poems he usually wrote, just to shut him up completely.
, stop making excuses,
If a literati and flirt has never married a wife, it is normal for them to have one or two confidantees in the romantic court. Some are dissolute, and some have many confidantees. But this is the first time they see a group of confidantees, and they just face each confidante.
They say you are the only one for me.
Looking at every piece of paper, there were words from Zhang Hanwen that he loved deeply and had no regrets in his life. However, every piece of paper was written by a different person. This was what made them laugh endlessly.
"He is indeed a despicable person who can plagiarize other people's poems. His words are full of hypocrisy!" The man closest to the stage had already read most of the poems and was very ashamed of him.
The diners during this period were all people of high status. Even if they did not curse like ordinary people, they all showed contempt, and some were outspoken and cursed a few words.
There was even a man in blue who suddenly said: "With this knowledge, how did he pass the provincial examination?"
This sentence gave everyone a reminder, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
The deputy commander of the Military and Horse Division directly threw money on the stage and asked the theater troupe to sing another piece of "Spring Breeze" just now.
The stage owner also noticed and called over the young actor who had been watching the excitement backstage. He had not yet taken off his makeup and stood on the high platform and sang the last part of the play.
"The appearance can be concealed, but the substance cannot be concealed"
"Such people are not as stupid as pigs. They take away the trappings of other people's characters. They can see the stench in two steps or three sentences. Although they get other things to show it. In the end, those who see through it will criticize them to the extreme and turn out to be evil and notorious.
you."
Zhang Hanwen's veins were exposed on his head and his face was as red as pig liver. He stumbled out of the restaurant while being mocked unabashedly by the people around him.
His reputation is completely ruined.
Lin Zhaoying came out at the right time and apologized to everyone, "This matter is due to the poor consideration of our general's office. When such a disaster happened, we have already sent someone to report it to the mansion's Yamen. Once it is found out, the general's office will not be biased. In fact,
I’m sorry to everyone.”
Most of the people present also expressed their understanding. This Zhang Hanwen was just a distant cousin of the General's Mansion, and this time the General's Mansion had suffered an unforeseen disaster.
The General's Mansion had taken in a distant relative for so long before, and it could be said to have been extremely benevolent. Some of the female family members were even familiar with the General's wife. They even learned from the female family members that this distant relative was unwilling to leave after he arrived, and stayed in the General's Mansion shamelessly.
.
They thought it might be an exaggeration when they heard it, but now they believe it is really the case.
Lin Zhaoying did what she should do, expressed her attitude, and lowered the curtain.
Lin Zhiyan finally trembled when she saw the curtain was lowered. She was actually very afraid of death. She had always pursued beauty, but it was so ugly to fall to her death in the end.
I was feeling fierce before, and it was only when my sister was protecting me that I started to get scared.
Lin Zhaoying held her in her arms and gently helped her breathe.
Lin Zhiyan clutched Sister A's sleeves tightly and kept saying sorry to Sister A and Sister Ran.
Lin Zhiran was actually a little frightened by Zhang Hanwen's appearance, but she was mentally prepared before, and Lin Zhiyan's reaction was really intense, which diluted the sadness in her heart.
Lin Zhaoying did not miss the frightened state of the two little girls. She felt compassion in her heart and allowed them to vent their emotions.
Lin Zhiran and Lin Zhiyan had met so few men that they would only treat a mere Zhang Hanwen as a treasure before.
After the two people's emotions stabilized, she opened the curtain of the compartment slightly again, so that they could see not only the stage on the high stage but also the guests below the stage.
There had just been a farce, and the number of people in the restaurant increased instead of decreasing, and they all angrily criticized Zhang Hanwen just now.
As one of the top restaurants in the capital, Cangxiu Restaurant's customers were all rich or noble, and Lin Zhaoying quickly found many familiar faces among them.
She screened them in her mind and began to introduce them to Lin Zhiran and Lin Zhiyan.
"Aran, in the southeast corner of the first floor is the son of Xue Zhansu, the minister of the Ministry of War. He is second in the imperial examination. He did not take part in the examination this year. I heard that he plans to wait until next time to show off his skills. He does not have a wife. He is clean and self-sufficient. He is fairly upright. The most important thing is
He is a man who has learned a lot, and the "Burial of the Moon" that you praised a few days ago was written by him."
Lin Zhiran didn't know why, but he still listened to her sister's words and took a look outside. The man was wearing a blue robe. He was not unparalleled in beauty, but he was clean and elegant, and full of bookishness.
Sensing a gaze, the scholar in blue raised his head and saw that it was a demure girl in the previous cubicle. He hurriedly averted his gaze, but there was a slight fluctuation in his heart.
His father was talking to him. He looked up and found that he was looking at the girl sitting on the second floor. He said: "There is such a shameless person in the stall. The General's Mansion is also unlucky. That is the second girl of the General's Mansion. Brother Hong is
Want to get to know someone?"
The scholar blushed and hurriedly covered it up: "It's important to take the exam."
Lin Zhaoying is still introducing, "The one in green on the left is the magistrate of Duyang County. He recently came to Beijing to report on his duties. He is the same age as me. He has an upright temperament. He is a good official with a bright future. He wrote about the mountains and rivers a few years ago.
His travel notes were highly praised by the saints."
She introduced several of them, and seeing that Lin Zhiran seemed to have some understanding, she spoke to Lin Zhiyan again.
"The youngest man at the table closest to the stage is named Du Zizai. Both his parents are dead. He passed the imperial examination this year and is now the Imperial Academy Superintendent."
In terms of official position, it can only be regarded as average, but as a concubine of the General's Mansion, Lin Zhiyan can handle it if she marries into such a family. The main reason is that this person is good-looking, with a white face and bright eyebrows, so she is
As Lin Zhaoying’s priority introduction target.
Sure enough, Lin Zhiyan looked at it several times and nodded shyly to express his understanding.
"The person surrounded by people over there is the deputy commander of the Military and Horse Department. I also know him. He has a wild temperament, is generous and forthright, and has many friends."
Doesn't Lin Zhiyan like powerful people? This person looks majestic, calm, reliable and handsome.
In just a cup of tea, Lin Zhaoying introduced all the talented or good-looking unmarried people on the first floor. At the end, she also told them: "For the others who didn't come, I'll introduce them to you next time I meet them."
introduce."
The people she mentioned were all people who had been investigated and found out. They had no problems with their conduct, and they were all chosen based on what Lin Zhiran and Lin Zhiyan liked.
Just picking it up is hundreds of times better than Zhang Hanwen.
It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, whether you want to marry someone or not, the main thing is to divert the attention of the two sisters who were just frightened, and gain some insights by the way.
Three-legged men are hard to find, and there are many two-legged men in the world. Zhang Hanwen, for example, was just an ordinary man with barely good looks and talents.
Lin Zhaoying had finished what she said. She looked at Lin Zhiyan and Lin Zhiran and asked, "After reading so much, what do you two think?"
There are so many unmarried men in the capital, you can choose them one by one, and don't let others deliberately deceive you.
Lin Zhiran looked at the people just now, and then returned her gaze to Sister. She got close to Lin Zhaoying and replied firmly: "Not as good as Sister."
Lin Zhiyan nodded in agreement.
Lin Zhaoying laughed dumbly, her eyebrows stretched, and she said with a smile: "Okay, then when Aran and Ayan find someone, they will look like Ajie."
