"I'm not blaming Madam." Wu Yunlin hugged Wang Hanlan and comforted her softly. He swallowed those questioning words after seeing Wang Hanlan's reddish eyes.
"Now madam, there is no need to worry. The eldest brother-in-law has just met me and I think he must be the number one scholar this year. We are brothers-in-law. I will ask the eldest brother-in-law to enlighten Brother Bai in his spare time. I think the eldest brother-in-law will not refuse." Wu Yunlin's face was filled with joy. He was still worrying a few days ago about what kind of gift he should give to invite this year's top pick to enlighten Brother Bo.
Now Liang Cai has won two yuan in a row and is at the top of the provincial examination. When he wins the first prize in the imperial examination, he will win three yuan in a row. And with his brother-in-law, it would be a good thing to hire such a talented person to enlighten Brother Bai.
"Madam, I am busy with work and have no time to visit at the moment. Why don't you visit my brother-in-law at his home some other time? It is also a good time to say hello.
When I go to Xiu Mu, I will prepare a generous gift and ask my brother-in-law to enlighten Brother Bo. If the eldest brother-in-law wins the first prize, he will definitely go to the Hanlin Academy. It will be enough to give some guidance to Brother Bo in his spare time. "
The more Wu Yunlin talked, the more excited he became. As the saying goes, once a teacher is always a father, Brother Bo would have a bright future if he could have such a knowledgeable first teacher. When the time comes, entering an official career will be regarded as a glorious achievement.
It is rare to have such a top scorer in three consecutive prizes. If it weren't for his brother-in-law, Wu Yunlin wouldn't dare to think that he could hire such a person to be Bo Geer's first teacher.
When I think about it, if Liang Cai becomes a high-ranking official in the future, Brother Bo will be able to learn books and etiquette with such a teacher, and his knowledge will be outstanding. Wu Yunlin felt his face light up just thinking about it.
Wang Hanlan was held in Wu Yunlin's arms, with her head lowered and a sinister expression on her face. The tears on her face had long since dried and she still looked a little aggrieved.
Wang Hanlan knew in her heart that she had provoked and pushed Wang Hanwei, who was pregnant, not long ago. There was no news about those killers, and she was too afraid to inquire.
I only know that Wang Hanwei is still alive, but I don't know whether the child has been saved.
If the child is gone, then Wang Hanwei and Liang Cai will definitely hate her to the core. She came to visit her just to die, so it would be strange if the couple didn't cut her alive!
Wang Hanlan's heart sank when she thought of the misery in the yard when she left that day. She didn't even dare to come to the house, so how could she possibly invite Liang Cai to be Brother Bai's wife?
No matter how arrogant and arrogant Wang Hanlan is, she would not dare to think like this.
Moreover, Liang had just kept his mourning for three years, and now he had a child with Wang Hanwei, but she pushed him away. If Liang Cai came to be her husband, what would he teach? What if he takes revenge on her brother?
Wang Hanlan just thought about it briefly and the image of Brother Bai covered in blood appeared in his mind. The whole person became excited.
"No, we must not let Liang Cai become Brother Bai's wife!" Wang Hanlan looked crazy, sat up straight and left Wu Yunlin's arms. His eyes were full of fear.
Wu Yunlin was talking about what gifts he wanted to send to congratulate him, but he was stunned by Wang Hanlan's sudden movement.
"Madam, what's going on? My eldest brother-in-law is very knowledgeable. If he won the first prize, how many people would beg him to enlighten their children. If we weren't related by brother-in-law, I, a minister, wouldn't even dare to think about it."
Wu Yunlin was really puzzled as to why Wang Hanlan suddenly had such a big reaction to such a good thing.
Wang Hanlan came back to her senses when she saw Wu Yunlin's expression, but the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't let Liang Cai get close to her brother Bai.
"I, I'm not saying that the eldest brother-in-law is not knowledgeable, it's just, it's just..."
Wu Yunlin's eyes were slightly impatient, "Just what? What does such a good gentleman have to worry about? If you don't invite Liang Cai, how can you still invite the second place candidate?"
Although Wu Yunlin respects Wang Hanlan, he attaches great importance to the upbringing of his children. He comes from a poor family. It was only when he came to the capital that he learned about the etiquette and upbringing of those aristocratic families, so he wanted to teach his children well. Not off the tongue.
Wang Hanlan knew in her heart that there was really no better candidate than this, but she would never trust her child to Liang Cai. Brother Bai was her support, her child!
Wu Yunlin looked at Wang Hanlan intently, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
"I know that the eldest brother-in-law is indeed the best candidate, but husband, after all, people's hearts are different, and you all come from poor families. If Your Majesty reuses the eldest brother-in-law, your husband's chances will be reduced." Wang Hanlan seemed to have thought of a good excuse. , he was apprehensive when he spoke, but as soon as he said the words, he seemed to have convinced himself.
"Husband, I know you admire the eldest brother-in-law's knowledge, but I don't know that the reputation of the eldest brother-in-law in Anyuan County is harmful. Otherwise, how could the knowledge of the eldest brother-in-law be revealed now?"
Seeing that Wang Hanlan was getting more and more outrageous, Wu Yunlin couldn't help but interrupt with a straight face, "That's enough, what did you say? You are a villain trying to judge a gentleman's heart. Liang Cai took the imperial examination now because he wanted to provide for his parents." Keep your filial piety. If your words get out, I will stop being an official.
How can anyone arrange for others to observe filial piety? "
Wang Hanlan felt a little guilty when she saw Wu Yunlin was angry, but she was not afraid. Instead, she pulled Wu Yunlin's sleeves aggrievedly.
"Husband, we have been married for many years, don't you still understand me? Am I a person who talks without proof? After my eldest brother-in-law got engaged to my eldest sister, he used the Wang family's money to blatantly pursue another girl in the academy. He was beaten and thrown out of the academy. , causing the death of the two elders of the Liang family.
My husband only sees that Liang Cai is knowledgeable and talented, but he doesn’t know him. Liang Cai was also a well-known romantic in Anyuan County at the beginning. If Brother Bai is handed over to him, he will be influenced by what he hears and what he sees..." Wang Hanlan did not Wu Yunlin was given a chance to speak, and after he finished speaking, he started crying in aggrieved manner.
Wu Yunlin was stunned and subconsciously stretched out his hand to comfort him. He was also surprised when he thought of Wang Hanlan's words.
"Husband, is what Madam said true?"
Wang Hanlan became more and more aggrieved, and her voice was choked with sobs when she spoke, "Brother Bai is also my child. I am a concubine, so I shouldn't talk about my eldest sister's affairs, but I am really worried because the child is still young and there is no certainty.
My husband is upright and generous, but not everyone is like that. There are only a few opportunities for promotion. If Your Majesty reuses Liang Cai in the future, what will happen to my husband? What should Brother Bai do? "
Wu Yunlin patted Wang Hanlan on the back and fell silent for a moment.
He was also temporarily dazzled by the surprise, and he didn't even know that there was such a thing. Moreover, although Wang Hanlan's words are straightforward, they are not unreasonable.
In the officialdom battle, his talent is not as good as Liang Cai's. If His Majesty no longer values him, he may only be a minister with mediocre qualifications.
People's hearts are unpredictable. If he handed over his legitimate son to Liang Cai again, wouldn't he be giving away his weakness?
Wu Yunlin didn't understand the truth of the matter. He believed in his married couple more than an outsider. Therefore, after hearing Wang Hanlan's words, I couldn't help but give up my thoughts.
