A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 426: Starting with Art

Lin Chong hurried out of the brothel and headed straight for the Wuyue Tower. Lu Cheng also stood up and followed behind with Lai Fu.

Not long after, they arrived at the foot of the Wuyue Tower. Looking up, they saw several people dressed as servants forming a circle in front of them. In the middle was a short and fat man in gorgeous clothes, who was chasing a dignified-looking young woman in her twenties.

"Little lady, don't run away, let me kiss you."

"Help me! How can you flirt with a decent woman in broad daylight?"

"Don't be afraid, young lady. I won't take your life. I just want your body."

When Lin Chong saw the scene in front of him, he immediately became furious. He pushed away the servants who were surrounding his wife and walked up to her in three or two steps. He grabbed the short and fat man who was teasing his wife, clenched his right fist, and was about to hit him in the face. However, after seeing the other person's face clearly, Lin Chong's clenched fist could not fall.

When the beautiful young woman in her twenties saw Lin Chong coming, she immediately hid behind Lin Chong and looked at the short and fat man with some fear.

The little maidservant at the side quickly squeezed into the crowd and supported her wife.

At this moment, a servant nearby said, "Master Lin, don't do anything. This is Gao Yanei."

Seeing that Lin Chong's fist had not fallen, Gao Yanei relaxed, took a step back, and looked at Lin Chong with a smile on his face: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Master Lin. Why are you meddling in my business? I flirted with a young lady, what does it have to do with you?"

When Mrs. Lin saw that Lin Chong's fist did not fall, she called out weakly, "Sir."

Gao Yanei turned his head to look at Mrs. Lin, then looked at Lin Chong, and was also stunned.

Several servants nearby hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Master Lin, this is all a misunderstanding. Our lord didn't know that this young lady was your wife."

"Yes, yes, yes. If he had known that the young lady was the wife of Master Lin, the lord would never have done anything."

Gao Yanei chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding. Don't blame me, Master Lin."

After saying this, Gao Yanei patted Lin Chong on the shoulder, turned around and left with a group of servants.

Lin Chong's face turned red, and he clenched his fists, but then put them down.

At one side, Madam Lin hugged her little maid and cried sadly, not knowing whether it was because she had lost face today or because of her husband's behavior just now.

Lin Chong paused for a moment before comforting his wife: "My wife, Gao Yanei is the adopted son of General Gao, and I work under General Gao. This time, I will spare him for General Gao's sake. Let's go home."

Mrs. Lin just nodded, and followed Lin Chong home with her maid.

Not far away, Lu Cheng, who witnessed the whole scene, also shook his head slightly. This Master Lin was unworthy of calling himself "Leopard Head".

In the original novel, Gao Yanei molested Mrs. Lin many times and framed Lin Chong, but Lin Chong had no intention of resisting at all.

Even when he was about to be beaten to death by two guards in the Wild Boar Forest, Lin Chong just begged them with tears in his eyes to spare him. If Lu Zhishen had not appeared, I am afraid that Master Lin would have received a box lunch.

If the same experience happened to Wu Song or Lu Zhishen, they would probably have killed people all over the place with blood all over the ground.

If he had not been almost burned to death in the hayfield and heard the conspiracy of Lu Qian and others, Lin Chong probably would not have risen up in resistance.

Moreover, Lu Zhishen saved Lin Chong in the Wild Boar Forest and wanted to kill the two officers, but was stopped by Lin Chong. At that time, Lin Chong was still thinking about returning to the officialdom. The two officers failed to kill Lin Chong and were worried that they would not be able to report back, so they asked about Lu Zhishen's background indirectly. Lu Zhishen knew that the other party would take revenge after returning, so he did not tell his name and origin.

Afterwards, Lu Zhishen escorted Lin Chong for thousands of miles, which took seventeen or eighteen days. He finally brought Lin Chong to a place less than 70 miles away from Cangzhou City. Along the way, he did not let the two officers know his background.

But as soon as Lu Zhishen left, Lin Chong casually said, "He pulled out even one weeping willow tree in Xiangguo Temple," directly revealing Lu Zhishen's background.

As for what is called an unintentional mistake, any normal person would know what not to say. Lin Chong is not stupid, so how could he not be able to tell the difference?

As a result, as soon as the two officers returned to Bian Jing, they reported the matter directly to their superiors. Gao Qiu immediately sent people to capture Lu Zhishen, forcing Lu Zhishen to leave Xiangguo Temple and become a bandit.

So, after seeing Lin Chong's performance, Lu Cheng turned around and left, feeling really sorry for Mrs. Lin.

As soon as Lin Chong was exiled, he immediately wrote a letter of divorce to divorce his wife. Mrs. Lin begged him, but her father, Zhang Jiaotou, had already said that he would take his daughter back to her parents' home, not let her go out, hide from Gao Yanei, and wait for Lin Chong to come back. But Lin Chong still insisted on writing the letter of divorce, even though Mrs. Lin fainted from crying on the spot, Lin Chong did not change his mind.

It is hard to say whether Lin Chong did not want to implicate his wife, or was trying to compromise with Gao Yanei in order to distance himself from his wife. Perhaps only Lin Chong himself knows.

Judging from his appearance alone, this Master Lin looks like a fierce Zhang Fei, and his weapon is also a Zhangba Snake Spear. But his personality is really hard to describe.

In comparison, Lu Cheng still felt that Wu Song, Lu Da, Shi Jin and others were more approachable.

For the next period of time, Lu Cheng entered the Imperial College and was a good student for a while, as if he had returned to the university in his previous life.

Not long after, Shi Jin escorted Xia He, Qiu Lan, Jin Cui Lian, Pan Jinlian, as well as several maids and cooks, to Bian Jing City to serve Lu Cheng.

There are many courses in the Imperial College, including the Four Books and Five Classics, Classics, History, Philosophy and Literature, Laws of the Song Dynasty, State Governance Strategies, as well as calligraphy and painting courses opened up by Emperor Huizong of Song.

Although Lu Cheng did not study hard for ten years like other students, studying the Four Books and Five Classics and how to take the imperial examinations, Lu Cheng's knowledge, experience, and cultural literacy were definitely enough. In addition, his mental strength was high enough, and his learning and comprehension abilities were extraordinary, so he quickly understood all these things in the academy.

After several lifetimes, I would occasionally learn some calligraphy and painting. After hundreds of years of accumulation, my calligraphy and painting skills are above average.

He is not proficient in everything, but at least he is good at everything, and he is particularly professional in playing the zither.

With his knowledge, experience, and money, Lu Cheng quickly became friends with the students of Tai College and had a good relationship with the teachers. He received the best evaluation in the first month.

Unfortunately, the president of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, Song Huizong, did not come to the Imperial Academy to attend classes recently, and Lu Cheng has not met the emperor yet.

However, Lu Cheng was preparing to finish the sketch and make a portrait to become famous.

Lu Cheng didn't want to study hard for a few years, fight monsters and level up in Taixue College, and finally be assigned to a ninth-rank official and slowly make his way forward.

The fastest way to get promoted is to start with the artist emperor.

The artist emperor is not accessible for the time being, but the emperor's woman is easier to approach...
