An Yushu was secretly proud and very satisfied with his position.

As everyone knows, An Yushu's position was originally Shao Jiacheng's, if it wasn't for Lu Changzhi's obstruction, how could Shao Jiacheng be sent to such a distant place.

Of course, Shao Jiacheng didn't know anything about this, and he vaguely felt that this arrangement was not right, but he had no right to raise any objections.

Shao Jiacheng was not in a high mood, and said that he had to bother his family to move around for his official position, but he didn't know if the family could spend money to get things done.

Shao Jiacheng depressedly took over the official seal and appointment letter, and secretly glared at An Yushu with a smug face.

Wan Lin has already lectured on the history of the scriptures for the emperor here, in addition to the guidance and guidance of the instructions and teachings when he was in the county school, he basically relied on his own groping to learn, he did not have a famous teacher to guide him, but he had solid knowledge, even if he was not clever and eloquent, he could explain the things that should be explained thoroughly and clearly, and he did not show his cowardice in front of the emperor at all.

The emperor admired him more and more, and when he finished speaking, the emperor praised him a few words, and then asked about last night's incident.

Wan Lin didn't hate him because he was framed by Xie Ziming, Wan Lin told a very considerable story, both anger and pity for Xie Ziming.

Wan Lin's calmness and objectivity impressed the emperor with him, and at the same time, he was shocked that such a thing happened.

Over the years since the establishment of the Hanlin Academy, there have been many intrigues even secretly, but it has not yet become like this.

Just now, in the early dynasty, in order not to make the Hanlin Academy too ugly, the emperor didn't comment too much on this matter, and now in front of Wan Lin, the emperor can also say something from his heart.

"Dali Temple has convicted Xie Ziming, seized all his fame and official positions, and imprisoned him for three years. After listening to the report of Dali Temple at that time, I thought that Xie Ziming's behavior of framing his colleagues was really hateful, and I wanted to let Dali Temple imprison him for a few more years, but I still thought about his youth, and I still felt compassion for him, and went by the judgment of Dali Temple. ”

Wan Lin knew that the emperor was a benevolent monarch, and immediately said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, if Xie Ziming can know your leniency towards him, he will definitely be grateful to His Majesty and change his ways." ”

The emperor shook his head, "No, I may not be kind-hearted. I even sympathize with Xie Ziming, will Wan Aiqing feel that I am too soft-hearted? I should be the master for you, and punish that Xie Ziming severely. ”

Wan Lin hurriedly bowed over and said respectfully: "It's just a trivial matter, why bother Your Majesty to be the master of the minister?" The verdict of Dali Temple is very fair, and there is nothing uncomfortable in the minister's heart, let alone feeling that His Majesty is soft-hearted. Your Majesty is indeed ruling the world with benevolence, so that the people of Dachen can live and work in peace and contentment, and only then can all nations come to court! ”

The emperor looked at Wan Lin and chuckled, "Hehe, if someone else suffers such grievances, when they can be alone with me, they will definitely confide in me about their grievances." But Wan Aiqing, you are a smart and knowledgeable person, and I admire you very much. By the way, I heard that it was thanks to your lady who discovered the secret door last night that you were able to get rid of suspicion and catch Xie Ziming. I've been wanting to meet your awesome lady for a long time. In this way, in a few days, I will hold a Qionglin banquet for you new science and technology scholars, and then bring your lady to be lively and lively. ”

Hearing that the emperor actually wanted to see Fu Xiaojiu, the first thought that flashed in Wan Lin's heart was not flattered, but a trace of inexplicable jealousy.

Since ancient times, there have been many things that kings have taken a fancy to courtiers and wives, and after Wan Lin came up with such an idea, he was taken aback by his own thoughts.

Wan Lin quickly dispelled the outrageous thoughts in his mind, and immediately thanked the emperor and said: "The minister has thanked Your Majesty for your majesty's grace!" ”

The emperor is indeed very interested in Fu Xiaojiu, and wants to see what kind of woman Fu Xiaojiu is.

Wan Lin was still relaxed after coming out of the imperial study, and felt that it was not difficult to lecture the emperor on the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he would also discuss knowledge and national affairs with the emperor, which benefited him a lot.

As soon as Wan Lin returned to the Hanlin Academy, Bachelor Zhu asked with concern how he behaved in front of the emperor, Wan Lin humbly said that he behaved decently, and everything that should be explained to the emperor was explained, and the emperor did not find fault with him.

Bachelor Zhu saw from Wan Lin's calm and calm expression that he should have behaved well, otherwise he didn't explain the scriptures and history to the emperor, and didn't make the emperor feel satisfied, wouldn't he have a pale face and trembling legs when he came back?

Master Zhu was relieved and felt that Wanlin was indeed unusual.

Wan Zhang and Shao Jiacheng chatted about today's appointment on the way home from the ministry, Shao Jiacheng had no taboos in front of Wan Zhang, and said that he was not as noble as him, and he really didn't want to go to such a far place to serve.

Moreover, Pinglong County is in the south, and he is very afraid that he will not be able to stand the hot and humid climate over there, and if the relationship between his family and his official position fails, he is afraid that he will go to work in tears.

Wan Zhang could only comfort him, but he couldn't help anything else.

As soon as the two of them got out of the carriage, they saw an old man standing at the door, who was all gray and well-dressed, but who was indeed dressed as a subordinate.

"Marber? What are you doing here? ”

Shao Jiacheng was very kind when he saw the old man, and walked in front of him happily.

"Ma Bo, let me introduce you, this is my colleague Wan Zhang. Brother Zhang, this is our housekeeper Ma Bo. Ma Bo, did my father send you to see me, he shouldn't have received the good news yet, right? I passed the top three entrance exams, and I was just awarded an official position today, but the place where I went to work was too far away, and I still wanted my father to ......"

Shao Jiacheng was talking with great interest, and suddenly saw that Ma Bo's waist was not an ordinary belt, but a strip of white cloth two fingers wide!

This hemp rope did not match Ma Bo's satin clothes, and after seeing the white cloth strip on Ma Bo's waist, Shao Jiacheng instantly stopped his words, and his heart sank suddenly.

Ma Bo was really happy when he saw Shao Jiacheng talking about his gold list title and being awarded an official position just now, but his nose couldn't help but be sour, and when Shao Jiacheng noticed the white cloth strip around his waist, his tears instantly overflowed his eyes.

"Young master, master, he ...... He's gone! ”

After Ma Bo finished speaking, he covered his face and cried in a low voice.

Shao Jiacheng immediately took a few steps back, unwilling to believe Ma Bo's words.

"No, that's not true! You were obviously sent by my father and mother to see if I was messing around, you must be lying to me! Was it my father's idea? He just missed me and wanted to see me to let you say that! ”

Ma Bo wiped his tears, choked up and said, "Young master, the old slave didn't lie to you!" Master, he passed away more than half a month ago. It was the lady who asked the old slave to come and report the funeral to you in person. ”

The uninhibited and free and easy on Shao Jiacheng's face has been replaced by astonishment and sadness, he suddenly stopped talking, and stood in place in a daze, his hands hanging weakly at his sides, as if all his strength had been drained.

Wan Zhang saw Shao Jiacheng's depressed appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but he didn't know what to say to make him feel better.

Ma Bo temporarily suppressed his sadness, and said with relief: "Young master, you can be named on the gold list and be an official, you are the lintel of the glorious Shao family, the master will be very happy to know that you have lived up to the master's expectations of you." ”

Shao Jiacheng didn't listen to what Ma Bo said, he still couldn't accept the news of his father's sudden death, the whole person was stupid, but tears kept sliding from the corners of his eyes silently.

Wan Zhang's heart was also very uncomfortable, and he patted his back gently, and his voice was also dyed with sadness.

"Brother Jiacheng, if you want to cry, cry out quickly, you can feel better after crying."

Shao Jiacheng slowly raised his head, his eyes didn't know where to fall, and he suddenly burst into tears.

Ma Bo also cried loudly, and Wan Zhang's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

As soon as Shao Jiacheng's father died, he would have to go home for three years and would no longer be an official.

In fact, this is also a good thing for Shao Jiacheng, lest he go to Pinglong County to serve again.

The master and servant later helped each other into the courtyard, and the people of the Shao family were also very sad when they learned the news of Master Shao's death.

Shao Jiacheng cried for a while before accepting his father's death.

He instructed his subordinates to pack their luggage, then wiped his tears, and went to the official department accompanied by Wan Zhang and Ma Bo with the official uniform and official seal and appointment letter.

Fu Xiaojiu went to the tooth store after eating in the morning, and he didn't know that something happened to Shao Jiacheng's family.

She followed the shopkeeper of the tooth shop yesterday to see a few shops that were not quite satisfactory, after all, the capital is too big, and there are many shops, so she can't finish the shops in one day.

Choosing a shop to open a medical clinic is not as simple as choosing a place to live, she must consider factors such as rent, customer flow, distance from home, etc.

Under the leadership of the shopkeeper of the tooth shop, Fu Xiaojiu looked at five or six shops in the morning, and only one shop made her feel okay, but she was not particularly satisfied.

The shopkeeper of the tooth shop invited Fu Xiaojiu to eat a bowl of noodles in the noodle restaurant, and the two of them continued to look at the shop in the afternoon.

Fu Xiaojiu wants to book a shop within today, and then move to the newly bought house tomorrow.

Shao Jiacheng and Wan Zhang can stay in their previous house first, and when their appointment letter arrives, they should go back to their hometown first, and then go to take office.

Fu Xiaojiu finished lunch and continued to follow the shopkeeper to see the shop.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't want to look at the shops around the Hanging Ji Hall at all, she wanted to stay away from the Hanging Ji Hall, lest she watch the first Hanging Ji Hall in the capital crush her in all aspects every day, which would make her jealous and separate.

But after looking at it for another afternoon, Fu Xiaojiu was still in a shop diagonally opposite the Hanging Ji Hall, which met her mind.

Fu Xiaojiu said to the shopkeeper of the tooth shop: "Let's go back to the shop diagonally opposite Xuanji Hall to have a look, since I looked there, other shops can't get into my eyes." ”

Even if the shopkeeper of the tooth shop had accompanied Fu Xiaojiu for a day, he had no complaints, and said happily: "Okay, let's go back!" ”

The two of them returned to the shop diagonally opposite the Hanging Ji Hall, which was a pharmacy, and it was very convenient to transform it into a medical hall.

When the pharmacy shopkeeper saw that Fu Xiaojiu was back again, he knew that she had taken a fancy to this place, and his eyes were spinning, and he planned to start the price on the ground.
