The Lin Mansion began to prepare the items for entering Beijing from top to bottom, and it was lively and busy.

Lin Wan'er was quite dismissive of this, thinking that it was a good errand for a trip, and it would be good to bring enough silver, but she didn't expect it to be an extremely troublesome thing.

After discussion, Cordyceps decided to stay in Lanzhou. But Lin Wan'er didn't agree, saying that she must teach Lin Renzhong a lesson and let him know what it means to cherish.

Chen Xiaoxiao pulled Lin Wan'er aside and said comfortingly: "Sister Wan'er, Cordyceps Sinensis has made a decision, so don't beat the mandarin ducks." ”

Lin Wan'er snorted coldly and said, "Sister, it's not me who beats the mandarin ducks, it's that you didn't see the hateful appearance of the fifth child." Something that is too easy to get, men will not cherish. I took the cordyceps sinensis away and let the fifth child know that it is natural for no one in this world to be good to anyone. ”

In the final analysis, the Lin family is still Lin Wan'er's words, and in the end, Cordyceps sinensis still has to go to the capital with Lin Wan'er.

In addition, Lin Wan'er also encountered an even more troublesome thing, Chen Nuonuo in the capital set off a polemic, which involved philosophy and literature. Originally, this kind of thing like a pole and Lin Wan'er couldn't fight it, but Lin Wan'er was ready to carry the bench, serve the melon seeds, and watch the excitement. However, Chen Nuonuo named Lin Wan'er as the object of the debate.

When it comes to the word "polemic", it is a well-known word in the Great Wei Kingdom, no less than "Wenbang". This "polemic" refers to the verbal debate between the celebrities of the Great Wei, and there is no limit to the content and method. However, sometimes celebrities are geographically far apart, cannot communicate in real time, can only exchange letters, and the content of the debate is mostly confidential.

His Majesty the Emperor is also a person who loves to watch the excitement, and uses the post station to convey the content of the controversy, and then publishes the content of the controversy to the public, so that the common people also know about the controversy between celebrities.

The controversy has just risen, the supervision is not strict, and the short things in the parents can set off a debate, and the free public equipment such as the post station can be used to transmit information, why not, for example, the daughter-in-law of the second king next door gave birth to a big fat boy, why can't my daughter-in-law give birth to a boy? This kind of question can set off a debate with Wang Laoer.

Later, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't stand it anymore and ordered the Ministry of Rites to strengthen supervision, so the number and content of the polemics were also limited to a certain range, forming a unique cultural phenomenon. When Lin Wan'er first heard the word "polemic", it was easy to think of the former US presidential election, where the two candidates muttered a lot of things on TV.

However, several "polemics" played a huge role in promoting the development of the Great Wei State.

For example, the second prince Zhao Shuo and the general Xiahou Xiangyang on the Xiongnu defense line polemic, the second prince Zhao Shuo proposed the fort system, with the fort as a base to form a defensive system that connects the dots into a line, can attack, retreat can receive, and even if the Hun cavalry drives straight in, it can also form a "nail" stronghold behind the Huns. Zhao Shuo also put forward the theory of beacons, that is, even the shape and size of beacons are clearly described, about 10 meters high, about 9 meters long, and about 7 meters wide. General Xiahou first explained the cost of the fort system, and then proposed a large-depth defense system with a thousand miles of plains as the strategic depth. His Majesty the Emperor was very interested in this controversy, and the current strategy of the Great Wei State to defend against the Xiongnu was based on this controversy.

For example, the national chess players Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia used Go as the content of the debate, and explained in detail the mystery of the nineteen ways of Go.

Of course, there are also absurd and ridiculous polemics, the most absurd of which is the "Xiliang Polemic" at the beginning of the first year of the Great Wei Xiangfu. Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, was supposed to raise troops to fight against Xihu, but in the first year of Xiangfu, he withdrew all 300,000 Xiliang iron cavalry from the Xihu front and hoarded them in the Hetao Plain, the junction of Xiliang and the Central Plains, and the spearhead was directed at Shangjing.

Xu Xiao is known as the "Second Emperor", saying that this Xu Xiao is anti-minded, coupled with the act of hoarding troops, it is even more controversial, and countless people scolded Xu Xiao for being a rebellious minister and thief. However, His Majesty the Emperor reacted calmly and said a very rustic sentence: "Cut, Xu Tou, who are you scaring about?" ”

All the officials of the three provinces and six ministries were passionate, ready to ask the "Ten Questions of Xiliang", and were ready to ask Xu Xiao what his intentions were. The first question was that the Tongguò post station was delivered to Xiliang, and a few days later, the king of Xiliang replied: "Your grandmother has a leg." It is said that Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, was still eating when he said this, eating green onion rolls and flatbread.

Hundreds of officials from the six ministries of the three provinces were angry, and they scolded Xu Xiao for being a scoundrel. The second question was sent to Xiliang more sharply, and a few days later, Xu Xiao replied: "Your grandmother has a mouth." ”

As soon as the "Ten Questions of Xiliang" reached Xiliang, Xu Xiao greeted every organ in the grandmother of all the officials of the three provinces and six ministries, and finally the Xiliang debate was over. In the end, His Royal Highness Shizi, the son of Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, also released cruel words: "If anyone is not convinced, even if you come to Xiliang, you can ensure good food and drink." Otherwise, report your name and home address, and this son will go to your house and wait. ”

All the officials of the three provinces and six ministries were dumbfounded, and the fool went to Xiliang, or reported his home. Maybe I went to Xiliang, and before I had time to drink saliva, I was fed to the dogs by the people raised by His Royal Highness the Prince.

And the controversy between Chen Nuonuo and Lin Wan'er is more like a dispute over the title of "the first talented woman of Great Wei", first of all, Chen Nuonuo asked: "Daxing does not care about the details, and the big gifts do not give up small ones?" ”

This question, which defines "great travel and great gifts", passed to the post station between the capital and the city of Lanzhou, and spread to the Lin Mansion.

The whole Lin Mansion looked at Lin Wan'er with blank eyes, hoping that everyone Lin could take the lead in this head-to-head confrontation with Chen Nuonuo and win this debate. Lin Fu must also have a light on his face, doubling his face.

Lin Wan'er didn't care about this, broke free from the encirclement surrounded by Chen Xiaoxiao, Cordyceps, and Xia Cao, and said helplessly: "Where can I argue, I have to pack my things, I will go to the capital in a few days, I am very busy." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao hated Sister Wan'er a little, and said: "Sister Wan'er, you just go back to Chen Nuonuo, she still thinks that there is no one in Lanzhou, so that the world looks down on Lanzhou." ”

Lin Wan'er wanted to find a chance to slip away, but was blocked by Cordyceps sinensis, seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Lin Wan'er sighed and said indiscriminately: "Regardless of how to call it a big line, how to call it a big gift." Okay, that's all it takes, I can go. ”

Chen Xiaoxiao and Cordyceps sinensis were like being struck by lightning, and Sister Wan'er's answer was really ...... Too...... It's wonderful.

The three of them grabbed Lin Wan'er, who had just walked over, and said, "Sister Wan'er, you have to ask one more question for Chen Nuonuo to answer." ”

Lin Wan'er had a bitter face, a lot of reluctance in her heart, tossing and turning, and even asked another question, this "polemic" is really annoying. Lin Wan'er shirked and said, "You let me think about it first, okay?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "No, you have to ask questions immediately." I'm afraid that as soon as Sister Wan'er leaves, I don't know where to hide again. ”

Lin Wan'er hugged her head, in great pain, thought about the three questions that had plagued many philosophers before crossing over, and said, "Who am I? Where am I from? Where are you going? ”

Chen Xiaoxiao was stunned again, Sister Wan'er is really powerful, these three questions are also very good, I think Chen Nuonuo should also be tired of coping.

Lin Wan'er's answers and questions were also transmitted to Shangjing through the guò post station, Chen Nuonuo seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Wan'er's answer, frowning slightly at Lin Wan'er's question, and fell into a predicament. Even Qin Tianjian's group of stargazers who watched the stars at night and pursued "truth" didn't know how to answer Lin Wan'er's question.

Chen Nuonuo did a lot of research, read a lot of books, and finally realized his answer from the sentence "A qiē has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such" in the Buddhist classics: I am me, I have never come out, and I want to go where I go.

Chen Nuonuo was very touched, and then asked Lin Wan'er, "Who are you?" Where are you from? Where are you going? ”

Lin Wan'er couldn't help but pout when she saw Chen Nuonuo's answers and questions, how could this polemic be so metaphysical, playing sharp everywhere, it was useless to have any substantive questions, and replied: "You are me, you have to go back and forth from where you have been." Lin Wan'er felt that her answer was very "hooligan", without any constructive answer, like a child quarrelling.

But Chen Xiaoxiao and several people looked at Lin Wan'er differently, in the past, they only knew that Sister Wan'er was brilliant, but they didn't expect Sister Wan'er to have such a deep attainment in philosophy, and there were many deep meanings between the words, and there were mysteries everywhere.

If Lin Wan'er's answer is consciously a bit "hooligan", then the question raised is a bit "hooligan-liu": "How many holes do socks have?" ”

When this question was delivered to Shangjing, Chen Nuonuo pondered for a while, smiled helplessly, and knew that Lin Wan'er had no idea of continuing the debate at all, so she had no choice but to stop it, and naturally there was no winner or loser.

The controversy between Chen Nuonuo and Lin Wan'er began with "Daxing disregards the details, and the big gifts do not give up", and ended with "There are a few holes in the socks", the whole process has no magnificent scenes, and it is unremarkable, but it is indeed the first contest between the two.

The time for Lin Wan'er to enter Beijing is getting closer and closer, and on that day, all the famous people in Lanzhou came to say goodbye, and at a glance, Lin Wan'er has become a symbol of Lanzhou City.

Lin Wan'er sat in the carriage, holding Wu Meiniang, who had gained a lot of weight, Baoyu and Yubao around her, and the boxes at her feet contained the kittens. Chen Xiaoxiao and Dabao sat together, and Cordyceps sinensis sat and the two held hands, their eyes glancing at Lin Renzhong from time to time, wanting to say a few words but not knowing how to speak.

Lin Renzhong was still stunned and busy, and he was reluctant to part with the eldest sister in his heart, but the eldest sister always couldn't help but snort coldly when she looked at herself, thinking about where she was dissatisfied with herself, but Lin Renzhong examined himself several times, and didn't realize how he offended the eldest sister, so he could only pull Baoyu and Yubao to his side, and reminded: "When you go to the capital, you must be obedient, and you must not make the eldest sister angry." ”

Baoyu and Yubao nodded like onions, and said, "With us, we don't dare to bully the eldest sister." The fifth brother also has to take care of himself in Lanzhou, and we will come back in a while. ”

Lin Renzhong's heart was in a panic, his eyes were red, he touched the heads of the two little guys, turned his head and wiped his eyes. However, so far, Lin Renzhong has not said goodbye to Cordyceps.

When he went to the capital, Lin Renzhong bought more than ten carriages, hired a few bodyguards with good kung fu, and a few maids, for fear that the eldest sister would have something wrong on the road.

Lin Wan'er looked through the curtain and looked from afar, and Lanzhou, which had lived for five years, was left behind and gradually became smaller. The castle of Lanzhou gradually became blurred, and the waving Lin Renzhong also became a black dot, just like Van Gogh's abstract painting, each three-dimensional scene was transformed into lines, circling and staggering, the sun was no longer red, and the sky was no longer blue.

Lin Wan'er retreated to the carriage, grabbed Baoyu and Yubao's little hands, and asked, "I'm going to go to the capital, are you afraid?" ”

Baoyu and Yubao didn't understand why the eldest sister asked such a question, everyone said that it was good to go to Beijing, and the capital was extremely prosperous, and even the city walls were much higher than the towers of Shanzhou City.

The two shook their heads together and replied, "Don't be afraid." ”

Lin Wan'er felt that Shangjing'er and his trip to Shangjing City were not as simple as they seemed, Shangjing City seemed to open a big mouth of blood, and she was going to be more than lucky, as for why she felt this way, Lin Wan'er didn't know the reason, it was just a vague and clear feeling.

Chen Xiaoxiao saw the worry in Lin Wan'er's heart, and said softly: "Sister Wan'er, there is a tall person on top of the sky when the sky falls." ”

Lin Wan'er smiled and took out the jade pendant left by Zhao Qian in her arms, hoping so.

The convoy continued to go north, passing through Yangzhuang first, Lin Wan'er insisted on getting out of the car to take a look, Yang Xifeng personally went out to greet him, and said a lot of congratulatory words.

Lin Wan'er also responded one by one, and the first time she and Zhao Qian went out of Lanzhou to collect silkworm cocoons, the first thing she arrived was Yangzhuang. Zhao Gan, the scoundrel, won Yang Xifeng by playing chess, Lin Wan'er also gave a lesson in Yangzhuang's study hall for a day, and then Zhao Gan and Lin Wan'er went back to Lanzhou and stayed in a cave for a night, Lin Wan'er said a lot that night, Zhao Gan seemed to have said a lot of things, but Lin Wan'er couldn't remember clearly.

On this northward trip, Lin Wan'er deliberately let the convoy bypass the cave, and she didn't see it, so she didn't read it, but when she arrived in Yangzhuang, Lin Wan'er's memory was surging out like a flood.

Yang Xifeng looked at Lin Wan'er, who was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Cordyceps sinensis has long been used to it, and the Lin family often leaves alone in a daze, not knowing what they are thinking. The winter worm gently shook Lin Wan'er's arm and called softly: "Everyone Lin." ”

Lin Wan'er woke up suddenly, smiled a little awkwardly, and said, "Old Yang, is this Yang Erxi still there?" ”

Yang Xifeng couldn't help but sigh and said: "Last time, I went to Lanzhou with Zhao Gongzi, and when I came back, I said that I had caused a big disaster, it seemed that I had beaten Han Qingshan of the Han family in Lanzhou, so I wanted to go to the capital to hide, hey, I only carried a broken burden when I left, and I don't know what happened now." ”

Lin Wan'er remembered the first time she saw Yang Erxi, Yang Erxi scolded Zhao Gan for being a little white face, Zhao Qian was quite happy, and felt that the title of little white face was a great affirmation of her appearance.

Yang Xifeng continued: "Erxi is the thorn in the head of Yangzhuang, and everyone hates it very much, but after all, the surname is Yang, his parents died when he was a child, and no one disciplined him, and he grew up eating the food of every family in the village. Lin family, the old man begs you for one thing. ”

Lin Wan'er said: "Elder Yang, if you have something to say, just say it. ”

Yang Xifeng took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Master Lin, if you arrive in Shangjing City and you see Erxi, please give this letter to Erxi." ”

Lin Wan'er took the envelope and nodded in agreement.
