Chapter 596 Competition
Lin Yuzan's face almost broke in front of everyone. He pretended to be calm and replied, "Qingjie, Dad doesn't know any wild hermit. Return the unique copy to your sister Yan Ke."
Little Yining slowly lowered her raised hand and looked at her uncle with some grievance.
Wang Cheng stepped forward and held the kid in his arms, glancing at his old rival sarcastically: "Everyone knows this, why is Shunan pretending? Exchanging a rare copy for a painting, this is something many people dream of."
Lin Yuzan: (?? ?)
The two men who were unaware of the situation looked sideways at Lin Yuzan.
Wang Lin sneered, "Master Kuanglang is a good match for you."
Zhang Liangchuan repeated this several times in his mind, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Brother Lin, who is so elegant and easy-going, has such a bohemian heart."
At this time, Yan Ke also walked up to Lin Yuzan, bowed gracefully, and said carefully: "Father Lin, I accidentally lost the turtle turning over painting you gave to the princess's sister last time, but I really like your paintings. I want to use the only copy to ask for another one. Is it possible?"
"Yes, Dad, this is a unique copy of the book from the previous dynasty given to me by my sister Yan Ke's grandfather. It is so precious!" Little Yining held up the copy again and blinked desperately at her father.
Lin Yuzan glared unhappily at the kid who always caused him trouble, and thought in his heart that he was just a debt collector.
He took the rare copy and handed it back to Yan Ke, saying in a gentle voice: "Miss Yan, rare copies are rare, and it is not worth exchanging them for one of Lin's paintings. Of course, since Miss Yan likes Lin's paintings, Lin will give you one. But when the time comes, I hope Miss Yan will lend this rare copy to Lin for two days to appreciate."
Yan Ke's original disappointment over the return of the only copy suddenly disappeared, and he was overjoyed.
She raised a sweet smile on her face, and without hesitation, she took out a token from her body and placed it on the rare book: "Father Lin is really a man of high character. Don't worry, I will lend you this rare book when the time comes. Also, this token can be used to enter the secret room in my grandfather's library. If Father Lin wants to borrow books in the future, you can ask the princess's sister to send a message to me, and I will send this token to you and also inform my grandfather."
The three scholars present were all shocked by the generous words of the little sister.
If we say that the Nalan family's library is a holy place for scholars, it is a very convenient place for them.
The secret pavilion is the place that all scholars yearn for. It contains unique books collected by successive family heads, covering everything. Anyone who wants to go in and have a look must pass a series of tests. Even the emperor has to abide by this rule. Those who can enter the secret pavilion are all extremely talented.
But now, a mere painting is eligible to enter.
Even someone as open-minded as Zhang Liangchuan couldn't help but feel a little jealous at his friend's good luck.
Lin Yuzan was also moved by this condition. Regardless of whether the little girl's words could make the head of the Nalan family agree, he gave her a sincere smile.
However, just as he was about to nod in agreement, a discordant voice sounded beside him.
Zhang Nishang looked at the envious expression on her uncle's face and suddenly felt dissatisfied. She grumbled, "He really doesn't know what's good. He mistook fish eyes for pearls and jade. My uncle's paintings are many times better than his."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liangchuan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he quickly scolded, "Nichang, how can you speak without thinking?"
Zhang Nishang heard the blame, not only did she not feel remorse, but her eyes turned red, she stiffened her neck and loudly retorted: "I didn't say anything wrong, little uncle, you just draw better than him, everyone even praised you for it."
Yan Ke had already stopped smiling when she started talking. After hearing these words, he glared at her and said unhappily, "I'm talking to Father Lin. What does it have to do with you?"
"How can it have nothing to do with me? You don't even take my uncle seriously!" Zhang Nishang retorted.
Yan Ke immediately laughed in anger: "You are totally unreasonable, and you like to slander others. I don't even know your uncle."
Cui Zhiyao saw her classmates arguing, so she quickly stepped forward and stood between them, acting as a peacemaker: "Sister Zhang, we knew Uncle Lin earlier, so we should naturally look for someone we know well first if we want to ask for a painting."
Zhang Nishang didn't listen to this talk at all, and said bluntly: "You are clearly in cahoots with each other. Seeing that Lin Yining became the princess, you tried every means to flatter her. My uncle was born in Yanjing, and her father is from the countryside. How could you have known her father earlier than my uncle?"
Zhang Liangchuan's face turned pale, and he shouted sternly, "That's enough! Nichang, stop talking nonsense and apologize to your classmates and Uncle Lin!"
"No, I'm not wrong!" Zhang Nishang still insisted.
This scene made the other little sisters lose their temper and they all stared at her with resentment.
Little Yining was so angry that her face puffed up and she glared at Zhang Nishang.
Wang and Lin were really surprised that things would turn out like this. They looked at each other tacitly and complained about the other: This person is even more trouble-making than Sister Qing!
Lin Yuzan had no choice but to step forward and gently persuaded him, "Brother Liangchuan, if you don't discipline your child outside, you can slowly explain the right and wrong to your niece when you get home."
At this moment, the noise here has attracted a lot of people's attention.
Zhang Liangchuan had already lost his mind in the arguing. He nodded in agreement when he heard his friend's words, "Brother Lin is right. I'll teach you a lesson when I get home. I'll teach you a lesson when I get home! I'll apologize to you another day."
As he spoke, he grabbed his niece's arm and hurried out, "Come home with me, don't embarrass yourself here."
Zhang Nishang could no longer suppress her forced expression, she burst into tears, choking and saying loudly: "Uncle, I quarreled with them because of you! You clearly wanted to go to the secret chamber of Yan Ke's maternal grandfather's house, and you also wanted the rare book from the previous dynasty."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped hard in the face.
"Have you had enough of this?" Zhang Liangchuan roared.
The garden was quiet for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, someone exclaimed, "A rare copy from the previous dynasty!"
Things got out of control, and many people couldn't help but gather around Zhang Liangchuan and Lin Yuzan, asking questions all at once.
The sudden situation frightened the little girls so much that their blood turned pale in an instant. They quickly hid behind three male elders they were familiar with, and looked timidly at the noblemen who were excited about the rare copy of the previous dynasty.
Wang Lin, who had been silent the whole time, frowned unhappily when he saw this, glanced at Lin Yuzan, and cursed: "You really know how to cause trouble!"
After saying that, he took a step forward, swung the long whip from his waist extremely arrogantly, and hit the ground heavily.
With a crisp "pop" sound, a deep scratch was left on the ground and grass debris flew everywhere.
He shouted angrily: "Get lost, stop scaring the kids!"
Lin Yuzan: ...
Everyone: …
Children and sisters: (???), wow, Uncle Wang Er is so awesome!
For a moment, the noisy crowd fell silent.
Lin Yuzan and Wang Cheng looked at each other speechlessly, shook their heads and sighed at this violent act of stopping the riot.
The effect of Wang Lin's whip lasted only a few breaths, and then a fierce backlash broke out in the crowd. Several noble sons of wealthy families united to accuse Wang Lin of being a rude and uncouth man who bullied others by taking advantage of his power, and even threatened to report it to the emperor and seek justice.
Each accusation made Wang Lin's already terrifying face even more chilling.
Wang Cheng felt helpless, and stepped forward with the child in his arms, saying kindly, "I advise you to keep quiet. My second brother did this for your sake. Princess Le'an is still young. If she is frightened by you, I'm afraid that the censor will present your names to the emperor tomorrow."
As he spoke, he patted the kid's back soothingly.
In an instant, Xiao Yining seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and he burst into tears: "There are so many bad guys here, I want to find my uncle and arrest them all! Wow..."
Everyone:......
