Chapter 112: Ambition is hard to repay

Wan Lin sat up even more straight, and said respectfully: "Although the foolish brother heard about the dispute between the prince, he didn't know much about the affairs of the court, even if it was a fellow student, they heard the rumors from elsewhere. ”

"Hehe", Li Dalong chuckled, and still said to Wan Lin with appreciation: "Isn't the virtuous brother a little too humble?" There is still a month to go before the court exam, won't you express your opinion to the court in your article then? I'm not an official, let alone a classmate who is jealous of your talent, what do you think of the imperial court, even if you speak freely, I just hear it. ”

Li Dalong has said this to this point, and Wan Lin has no way to prevaricate anymore.

But he didn't quite understand why Li Dalong had to listen to his views on the imperial court, was Li Dalong going to test which side he was standing for?

Wan Lin quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then said with some sincerity: "Brother Li is the person who can see what is on my mind, I do have some concerns, I am afraid that I will make a joke by saying my foolish opinion." But since the eldest brother wants to hear it, then I'll talk about it, and if there is something inappropriate, please don't laugh at it. ”

Li Dalong nodded with a smile and motioned for Wan Lin to speak freely.

Wan Lin took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said, "Now people say that the third prince and the seventh prince are the most appreciated by the saints, and the matter of establishing the prince is a choice between them. I heard that the three princes are calm and careful, and the three princes studied under the elder of the Yuan Pavilion. The seven princes are smart and clever, they are the descendants of the founding father An Guohou, the two princes have their own strengths, and their ages are about the same, according to the humble opinion of the foolish brother, these two princes are suitable candidates for the prince, it is really difficult to choose, and it depends on the sage's own decision. ”

Finally hearing Wan Lin's opinion, a trace of unclear meaning appeared in Li Dalong's eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said with a smile: "Brother Wan really can't offend people!" However, the news you know about the third prince and the seventh prince is quite accurate, and these two princes are indeed suitable for the position of prince, and it is difficult for the saint to choose. It's no wonder that the saints teach their children well, and several princes have real talents and real learning, even those princes who are not adults are all diligent and self-denying, and they have not been cultivated into an arrogant and domineering character. ”

"Brother Li, it sounds like you know the saints and princes very well." Wan Lin said the words of the inquiry very naturally, and there was a little envy in his eyes.

Li Dalong waved his hand and said modestly: "I am also a cloth cloth, where can I learn about the affairs of the saint and the prince, I also learned about these things from letters with friends in Beijing." The matter of the establishment of the prince is the hottest topic at the moment, and almost everyone in Beijing is talking about it, so I am fortunate to know a little more. ”

Wan Lin nodded lightly, "It is said that there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, and it seems that there are people in Beijing who are also easy to do." The news that the eldest brother hears must be more reliable than our hearsay. ”

Li Dalong's expression suddenly became a little serious, and he said in a calm voice: "I think the Seventh Prince is more suitable for the prince, although he has just reached the crown, but he is noble, intelligent and unassuming, he has been very favored by saints since he was a child, and he is quite virtuous outside, if I am a saint, I will choose him as the prince." ”

Wan Lin was very surprised when he heard Li Dalong's words, he didn't expect him to be able to express his support for the Seventh Prince so blatantly.

Wan Lin didn't rush to follow him to make a statement, and said calmly: "Regarding the virtuous name of the Seven Princes, I also think that it should be worthy of the name. However, the third prince is low-key and calm, and he is a disciple of the old Yuange, and he still has a certain prestige in the court, and I heard that his mother Concubine Qi has always been favored by the saint. Judging from the current situation, the saint is really in a dilemma. ”

Li Dalong sighed, "Alas, yes, the saint must have a headache at this time!" ”

Seeing that Li Dalong looked like he wanted to share his worries and solve problems for the emperor, Wan Lin asked tentatively again: "Big brother, since you have someone in the capital, why don't you move around and see if you can find an official position in the capital?" ”

Li Dalong smiled bitterly, "Why don't I want to do this?" But the most important thing in the capital is the officials, even if I have thousands of family wealth, but in the capital I am just an inconspicuous ant, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to serve the court in my life. ”

Li Dalong said, pursed his lips, looked at Wan Lin with expectation and said: "Brother Wan, you concentrate on studying, if there is anything that you need my help with Li, just say, Li will definitely do his best to help you get to the top!" ”

Li Dalong's words frightened Wan Lin, and he had a feeling that he had been bet on, as if he would be finished if he couldn't get fame.

Wan Lin immediately bowed his hand to Li Dalong and said politely: "Ah, Brother Li, what you said is serious!" The foolish brother doesn't dare to hope that he will be able to get into the department, but he has a clear conscience and does his best, if the foolish brother really has no literary and qu stars in his life, the foolish brother does not seek fame, and he will not be stubborn, delaying himself and dragging down his family. ”

Li Dalong also realized that he seemed to have put too much pressure on Wan Lin, I was afraid that Wan Lin was a little scared, so he also controlled it a little, and smiled easily, "Brother Xian, don't get me wrong, I'm not forcing you to get famous, I just think that Brother Xian, you are full of talent and talent, if you can't get into the department, I'm afraid you will bury your talent." If there is anything wrong with what my brother said just now, I hope that the virtuous brother will not go to his heart! ”

Wan Lin immediately said: "What did Brother Xian say, you and I are just discussing current affairs, you didn't think I was reckless in speaking before, how could I think Brother Xian spoke inappropriately?" ”

Wan Lin stood up as he spoke, and said to Li Dalong: "I have been delaying Brother Xian for a long time, so I won't continue to bother!" ”

Li Dalong still felt a little unfinished, and said reluctantly: "How long have you been here, why bother?" It's that I can't delay your study any longer, so go back, and if you have leisure one day, the two of us will have a good chat! ”

Li Dalong sent Wan Lin to the door, and after Wan Lin said goodbye to him politely, he walked quickly to his home.

As soon as Wan Lin arrived home, he saw a catcher just leaving his house, and Wan Lin immediately stopped the catcher a little nervously.

"May I ask why the official came to my house?"

Zhu Kuai replied very politely: "I'm here to inform your family, the secret passage of the organ found in the medical hall has been ordered by the master to fill in, and in two or three days at most, your medical hall will be able to operate as usual." ”

Wan Lin was shocked by such a notice, "What? The trap passage has been filled? Isn't that an important clue? Isn't there less clues to the murderer after being filled in? ”

Catch Kuai showed a look of embarrassment, "This is the master's order, and we can only obey it." But don't worry, if the secret passage is filled, it won't affect the normal operation of your home doctor's house, and we won't cause trouble to your family anymore. ”

But the words of catching fast not only did not make Wan Lin feel at ease, but made his heart more and more uneasy.

Because of this meaning, the county order does not intend to continue the investigation.

In fact, this is also what Wan Lin expected, Wan Lin had long thought that this case would definitely not be resolved, even if the county order was far away from the capital, but he always paid attention to the affairs of the DPRK and China, how could he not think of something?

Wan Lin thanked the catch, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a long line of patients, this scene was similar to when Fu Xiaojiu was in the countryside, Wan Lin looked at Fu Xiaojiu's busy appearance, and his heart was really distressed.

Fu Xiaojiu saw Wan Lin as soon as he looked up, smiled at Wan Lin, and said hello.

Wan Lin didn't bother her, smiled at her and the patient, arched his hand, and went to find Wan Pozi.

Wan Pozi was preparing lunch in the stove room, and when she saw Wan Lin, she hurriedly asked him how Wan Er's buddy was, Wan Lin said in detail, and Wan Pozi's heart was put in her stomach.

Wan Pozi said with relief: "It's really good, your second brother not only earns wages this time, but also has a place to eat and live, if he has time, I can also send him some of his favorite food." ”

Wan Lin smiled and said, "Lady, you still feel sorry for the second brother." You don't have to bring him food, if he is free, let him come home and have some food. ”

Wan Pozi said with emotion: "If they didn't think you were a drag on your study fees, they wouldn't have been in a hurry to break up." But you can still think about them so much, I'm ashamed of them both! ”

Anyway, Wan Da and Wan Er made trouble again, and it was still within Wan Lin's acceptance, he didn't want to tell Wan Pozi about their affairs anymore, so he asked anxiously: "Mother, I just saw that the catcher is coming, did he say that our family medical hall will soon be able to operate normally?" ”

Wan Pozi nodded vigorously, and repeated what Zhu Kuai said to Wan Lin, just like Zhu Kuai said to Wan Lin.

In front of Wan Pozi, Wan Lin was very happy, and Wan Pozi didn't think much about it, and continued to be busy cooking.

After Wan Lin came out of the stove room, he told Fu Xiaojiu that he had to go out again, Fu Xiaojiu was busy and didn't ask him, so Wan Lin hurriedly went out.

Wan Lin went to see the hospital.

As soon as he walked to the door of the medical hall, he saw the door staring at the wheelbarrow pulling bricks, and the official guarding the door knew Wan Lin, and Wan Lin walked towards the hut.

The passage had been filled with bricks, and the wall had changed a lot except that it had become a little thicker after being filled with bricks.

While the bricklayer was building the wall, Wan Lin came to the wall behind the medicine cabinet again, Wan Lin looked at the wall with his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that he was not too worried, and it was normal for the color of the wall to be different, so he just repainted.

But why did Lu Yong change his name to Li Chang? What else does he have that he doesn't know? ”

Wan Lin was thinking about it, when someone suddenly stood at the door and shouted at him.

"Uncle! Oh, it's really you! ”

Wan Lin was taken aback, and immediately looked at the door with a headache.
