Chapter 35: The Western Conference

Lin Wu smiled and said, "Brother Yang said hello again. If I blame you, I don't need to come to the door. I will just give you instructions and punish you for next month's Mujin, haha!"

When the old man surnamed Yang heard this, he changed his miserable look: "Oh, Lord Lin, I know my mistake, don't punish the secret money, I'll just point to that little money to survive!" After not seeing each other for many days, the two of them quarreled with each other, and they cooperated very well. The servant next to him was funny and covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

The old man is Yang Xuan. Now he is the Western Palace hired by Lin Wu, and he is Mubin. The people in the mansion have always only known that this Western Palace is knowledgeable and respected by the master, but his origin is not very clear. Yang Xuan lives in the Western Palace of Lin Mansion and rarely goes out. He spends paper and ink with him every day, recites poems and writes. Occasionally, Lin Wu discusses with each other when he has something to do, and he enjoys it alone. In fact, Yang Xuan is not short of money. The two of them are just a joke.

Yang Xuanren was a mature spirit and knew that Lin Wu had come to the West Garden so late, so he must have something to discuss. So the two entered the house and sat down, and told the servant to cook tea and chat while drinking tea.

"What do Jingxuan feel about this trip to the capital?"

Lin Wu took a sip of tea and slowly put down the teacup: "I feel that there is something, it is prosperous, singing and dancing, and it is a prosperous era."

"Hmph!" Yang Xuan pinched his nose and snorted. "A peaceful and prosperous era? Don't say these unwilling words. Now that I have been fighting with the northern Rongdi for many years, I have been victorious on the surface, but in fact, even if there are occasional small victories, they are mostly miserable. Not only can I not hurt the fundamentals of the northern nomadic peoples, but it also affects the northern prefectures and gradually become deserted places, and the people are displaced. If they continue, they may hurt the foundation of the country!"

Lin Wu's expression also became serious. He nodded after hearing Yang Xuan's words: "Brother Yang said this very much. I am afraid that everyone is paying attention to the outcome of the war, busy receiving gifts and whitewashing peace. I can't see this..."

"Can't see?" Yang Xuan sneered. "Even if the person who can stand in the court is a little stupid, he can still see this thing clearly in a few days. Until now, the court has not taken any measures. I am afraid that most people are following the flow and busy praising this northern expedition. Even if someone can see it clearly, he is afraid that he will not dare to discourage the emperor's interest at this moment, so as not to be unable to protect himself..."

Lin Wu sighed and said, "Brother Yang said, "Originally, Lin Wu handed over a memorial when he arrived in the capital, but unfortunately he went there like a rock sinking into the sea. I think he was probably pressed somewhere. Now I can only hope that the court will wake up earlier, otherwise it will be too late to wake up next year."

After hearing Lin Wu’s comments on handing over the letter, Yang Xuan smiled helplessly: “I knew you were of this kind of personality for a long time, but I had a little selfishness before. Now it seems that I am a little persistent.”

Lin Wu smiled and said, "Others don't know me, Brother Yang always knows it. Although I, Lin Wu, are not honest and the rumors are a bit domineering, I never dare to be vague about major affairs of the court. Only by focusing on the general trend can we focus on the small things. If the general trend does not exist, we will lose our meaning as an official."

"You!" Yang Xuan took a sip of tea and pointed Lin Wu with his hands: "I see you fighting with you on weekdays, but I still have some scheming methods. Who knows that I still can't get rid of the enthusiasm of scholars in my heart! Alas! But this is also a good thing. If there are one or two more people like Jingxuan in the court, we don't have to worry here at this moment."

"Don't always say to me. If you say that, Brother Yang resigns from office and refuses to do it, but does not return to his hometown to take care of his old age leisurely. Instead, he comes to me to have a name for a Western Conference. Wouldn't he be much more angry than me?"

"Well... Yang saw that the place was excellent in feng shui and could have a meal at the dignified prefect, so he naturally couldn't drive him away..."

After a while, the two of them started to tease again. After a while, Lin Wu suddenly remembered something and said seriously: "Brother Yang lives with me for a while, which is really helpful, but there is one thing at this moment, I am afraid that I will have to trouble Brother Yang again."

Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Wu: "Okay, Lord Lin, in the past, I was eager to squeeze my whole body clean in my west garden. Why did he still want to say that he would have rested this time? Ah..." Yang Xuan suddenly remembered something and pointed at Lin Wu with his hand and said, "I guess it's probably Mr. Ling's business, right?"

Lin Wu was teased by Yang Xuan, and was not annoyed. He just smiled and nodded: "I knew that Brother Yang was very smart, so I guessed it right. Today, Japan wants to bring the dog to see Brother Yang directly, but...ah!" Lin Wu thought about his son's distant intention to him, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He didn't bring Lin Nan here today, but he felt sorry for his son's fatigue all the way and wanted him to take a good rest. But he was thinking that he didn't know if his son could understand it.

Seeing Lin Wu's expression, Yang Xuan couldn't help but wonder: "What? Is there something unspeakable? Didn't he say he was sure it was the eldest son?"

"It's not because of this..." Lin Wu said, briefly telling Lin Nan's situation. "I originally wanted the dog to worship under Brother Yang, but I think Brother Yang would not refuse, but the dog has grown up in the market since he was a child and is somewhat wild, so I'm afraid that Brother Yang will not be able to stand him..."

Yang Xuan did not answer when he heard this, and thought for a while with his long beard under his jaw, then said, "In this way, the young master's personality is probably unrestrained, but if he teaches the method and proceeds step by step, he will not be able to become successful. It is useless to say it now. It is better to bring him tomorrow. You have to take a look at it." Yang Xuan saw Lin Wu silent and said, "This is not a big deal, but the master and apprentice. The master naturally wants to choose the disciple. This is for you, but the disciples sometimes choose the master. As the saying goes, preconceived, if you look at each other, you will get half the result with twice the effort in the future. If you are born to twist your head, it will be counterproductive when you teach. In this way, good intentions will do bad things and delay the child..."

Yang Xuan and Lin Wu were close friends. They had a relationship for several years and had no need to hide their words. After hearing Yang Xuan's words, Lin Wu nodded and agreed with Yang Xuan's idea. After the two of them talked for a while, Lin Wu stood up and said goodbye.

At this time, Lin Nan was bathing under the service of two little maids and had changed into a new set of clothes. However, when combing his hair, he refused to comb the corners. In the end, the maid twisted him, so he had to tie his hair up.
