Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 27 Linjiang Immortal

Su Yun smiled. There was no need to refuse as this was something he had planned in advance.

It is actually not that easy for Jiangyou Su Lang alone to increase Linjianglou's turnover tenfold.

But it’s different with a good poem.

Su Yun smiled and said to the crowd, "Writing is a natural thing, it is something that happens by chance. It is not something that can be written just by saying it."

"Eh!" Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Your sentence is very good. The writing is natural and the author has done it by accident. It's wonderful, wonderful, Su Lang, you said you can't write poetry! You wrote two excellent poems as soon as you opened your mouth!"

Now everyone in the restaurant lobby became excited. These two lines were easy to remember. Even those who didn't understand poetry thought they were well written and started shouting.

"Su Lang, hurry up and write, don't let us Jiangyou people feel disappointed!"

"Yes, write it, write it. Huangzhou has been unknown in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years. It's time to become famous."

"Su Lang, I heard that your uncle and nephew are having a hard time in Huangzhou. You should write some poems quickly. If they are good, I am willing to give you a hundred acres of good farmland! I said this, and everyone present knows that I, Zhou Zhan of Huangzhou, keep my words!"

"Ah, it turned out to be Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou is a famous landlord in Huangzhou. His family owns tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. What he said is indeed credible."

"Su Lang, Su Lang, hurry up and write it. Mr. Zhou is willing to donate the land. Don't worry, just write it down. If Mr. Zhou doesn't admit it, we will all spread this matter and make him infamous!"

"Bah! When have I, Zhou Zhan, ever broken my word? It's just a hundred acres of fertile land. I'm not reluctant to give it up."

The crowd was excited. Xu Jian whispered to Su Yun, "How about writing something? Look at the atmosphere that has been created."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, your ancestors are really blessed to have you meet me."

Xu Jian: “…”

Xu Jian didn't understand.

At this time, Su Yun laughed loudly and said, "My fellow villagers, we were sitting by this window, and the view was very beautiful, which immediately triggered a lot of emotions in me.

My uncle and I traveled all the way from Bian Jing to Huangzhou. We lived a poor and lonely life in Huangzhou. Seeing my uncle depressed every day, I also saw through many things in my heart.

Today I came to Linjiang Tower and drank with you all, and I suddenly felt that life is just like this. No matter whether you are a hero or a mediocre person, in fact, you are just like the surging river flowing eastward.

All the right and wrong, success and failure will be gone in the blink of an eye. It is better to have a few pots of wine, talk and laugh, and everyone can be considered happy to meet each other.

Come, let's have a drink together!"

As he spoke, Su Yun raised the wine glass in his hand, slowly poured it into his mouth, and immediately there were cheers from all over the building.

Some people with better cultural literacy pondered Su Yun's words carefully. This kind of artistic conception... seems to be really good and worth making clear!
But Su Yun drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then grabbed the pen on the table and wrote quickly on the paper.

Someone who was close by immediately explained: "What Su Lang wants to write is... Linjiangxian! Wow, Linjianglou writes Linjiangxian, is there anything more appropriate than this?

The first sentence…hiss! What a good word, what a good word! It’s really a good word, it’s worth making it public!”

"Hey, what are you writing? Stop drinking!"

At this time, someone chanted loudly: "The Yangtze River flows eastward..."

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped. This beginning was extremely powerful!
Look outside the window, isn’t that the Yangtze River flowing eastward?

"…The waves wash away all heroes, and success and failure are all in vain!"

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped again.

The Yangtze River rolls along as it flows eastwards, its waves wash away all heroes, and success or failure becomes nothing in the end!
Such a magnificent beginning is really shocking.

The Riverside Tower on the bank of the Yangtze River and the Half-Quaye Riverside Fairy have already shocked everyone.

But the shock didn’t stop there.

"…The green mountains remain, and the sunsets are still red!"

Someone read out another sentence, and the whole room burst into applause.

But it wasn't over yet. Someone shouted out the last half of the poem in one breath: "White-haired fishermen and woodcutters on the river bank, accustomed to seeing the autumn moon and spring breeze, happily meeting each other over a pot of muddy wine! So many things in the past and present, all turned into jokes!"

Suddenly, a generous, tragic and meaningful atmosphere echoed in the hall. Someone recited it loudly back and forth, which was extremely moving.

Xu Jian was trembling all over. He finally understood why Su Yun said to him, "Your ancestors are so blessed that you met me." Yes, it was because of the blessings of his ancestors that there is such a Linjiangxian Tower. It is just a matter of time before Linjiang Tower surpasses Wangjiang Tower. Linjiangxian will also become a world-famous tower like Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi, Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei, Yueyang Tower in Yueyang, Hunan, and Guanque Tower in Yongji, Shanxi!
Wang Bo wrote the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, and the Pavilion of Prince Teng became a famous pavilion that scholars and poets of all dynasties must visit.

Cui Hao's poem "Yellow Crane Tower" made the Yellow Crane Tower a famous tower throughout the ages. Even Li Bai went there to lament the poem written by Cui Hao on it.

Fan Zhongyan's poem "Yueyang Tower Inscription" made Yueyang Tower a holy place for literati in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Zhihuan's poem "Climbing the Stork Tower" makes the Stork Tower still a place that scholars yearn for today.

And today, after Su Lang sang Linjiangxian, everyone knows that there is a Linjiang Tower on the bank of the Yangtze River!

As long as Que Linjiangxian exists, Linjiang Tower will still remain in people's memory even after a thousand years.

Xu Jian held Su Yun's hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Su, can you please write it down and give it to Xu Jian, the owner of Linjiang Tower? If it's not written in vain, I can pay you 10,000 strings of cash!"

"No!"

Someone shouted, "Linjiang Tower is all yours, and you still want this reputation! Su Lang, write the six words "To Mr. Zhou of Huangzhou" and I will give you ten hectares of top-quality farmland!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole building fell silent.

How many acres are ten hectares of good farmland?

One hectare is equal to 320 mu, and ten hectares are 3200 mu. One mu of the best farmland in Huangzhou can be sold for ten strings of coins. That is to say, as long as Su Yun writes six words, he can get farmland worth thirty-two thousand strings of coins!
Xu Jian immediately became furious and cursed, "Zhou Zhan, Young Master Su wrote Linjiangxian in my Linjiang Tower, what does it have to do with you? And you are trying to steal the title from my Linjiang Tower!"

Zhou Zhan sneered and said, "Linjiangxian has been written in your Linjiang Tower. From now on, Linjiang Tower will be one of the famous towers in the world. Are you afraid that no one will recognize you, Xu Jian? Do you still need to grab this name?"

Although he said so, Xu Jian knew very well in his heart that with Que Linjiangxian, Linjiang Tower would still be there a thousand years later. No matter whether it was destroyed by war or collapsed naturally, someone would rebuild it again. However, the same could not be said for the Xu family.

If the three words "Xu Jian" were not written on it, perhaps in a few years or even ten years, Linjiang Tower would have quietly changed its owner.

But if the three words "Xu Jian" were written on it, at least Linjiang Tower could be guaranteed to belong to the Xu family for a hundred years. Which was more important? Xu Jian was not a fool, so how could he not understand?
