Chapter 1071 Activities
Bai Shan was having trouble laughing at first, but when he saw Bai Erlang suddenly quiet down, he couldn't help but smile.
Manbao explained with a smile, "Because I became your disciple first, I am the oldest."
Bai Shan nodded.
Bai Erlang said, "No, I was the first one to study with you."
"We are talking about becoming a disciple." Manbao said bluntly, "I was the first one to become a disciple."
"Hmph, stop lying to me. I knew it a long time ago. The master didn't decide the ranking at all at that time. It was you two who were fighting for the first place, then you beat Bai Shan, and then you two came together to beat me up, and that's when the ranking was decided."
Yin Huo looked at them in surprise, "Your ranking was determined by fighting?"
Manbao and Baishan shook their heads together, only Bai Erlang nodded vigorously.
Although the odds were two to one, Yin Huo still subconsciously believed Bai Erlang. He felt that he was the one who would least lie.
Yin Huo smiled softly and asked, "Will you come to see me tomorrow?"
Bai Shan said: "It depends on the situation. If there is not much homework and nothing else to do."
Yin Huo frowned and asked, "Is this about the Duke of Pi's Mansion?"
Bai Shan shook his head, "That matter is in the past, what's the matter?"
"Don't have too much contact with their family after this," Yin Huo said, leaning against the bed. "You don't know, the Duke of Pi's Mansion is the prince's in-laws. The political situation is unstable now, so it's better for us to stay out of this kind of thing."
Yin Huo paused and said, "Zhang Jinghao has been very close to Wang Ju from the Imperial College recently. If you get close to the Duke of Pi's Mansion, you must be careful."
Manbao and Bai Erlang asked, "Who is Wang Ju?"
Bai Shan tilted his head and thought for a moment before asking, "Is it Wang Ju, the son of the Duke of Lu?"
Yin Huo nodded, "He is also the younger brother of the Third Prince's wife."
The three of them understood.
Yin Huo said, "Originally, Zhang Jinghao couldn't speak in front of Wang Ju, so Wang Ju probably wouldn't cause trouble for you because of him. But if you get too close to the Duke of Pi's Mansion, that might not be the case."
Bai Shan: "You know quite a lot."
Yin Huo smiled and said, "My sisters love to talk about these things, and at school, people don't really avoid me when they talk, so I always get to hear a lot."
He felt that Bai Shan was a little strange.
In his opinion, Bai Shan is not a person who seeks fame and fortune. When he first entered the Imperial College, he was very arrogant. If his classmates did not take the initiative to talk to him, he would definitely not take the initiative to maintain relationships.
But during this period of time, he seemed to have changed, but it didn't seem like he was doing it for fame or fortune.
Although Yin Huo was curious, he knew that everyone had their own secrets, like him.
So if they didn't say anything, he didn't ask, but just reminded them: "The prince has no children, his position is unstable, but he has many enemies, so if you want to find a backer, it's best not to look for him."
"Who should I look for?" Man Bao asked casually, "Can I look for you?"
Yin Huo shook his head slightly. "I can't even rely on myself, let alone you. Besides, my father is a lone minister, I'm afraid he can't help you."
It was the first time Manbao heard, "Your father is actually a lone minister?"
Yin Huo nodded, "Father said that our family would not marry anyone but Your Majesty. This is also the reason why my three sisters all married down."
He said, "I have three older sisters, who are only a few months older than me. They were originally going to be married off, but I have been in poor health for the past two years. My concubines wanted them to stay and marry into the family, so they kept dragging their feet and refused to arrange marriages. My father didn't force them, but I saw the invitations that came to our house this year, and it's very likely that they will marry down."
Manbao rolled his eyes and asked, "Which side is Duke Zhao on? Is he also a lone minister?"
"No, he has always supported the prince."
"Hey, isn't the third prince also his nephew? Why does he support the crown prince?" Manbao was puzzled.
"Because the Crown Prince is the legitimate heir," Yin Huo said. "Anyway, I know that when someone in the court expressed the intention to depose the Crown Prince, the Duke of Zhao strongly opposed it."
Bai Shan asked, "What about your father? Does he oppose, support, or keep silent?"
Yin Huo thought for a moment and said, "My father also disagrees with deposing the crown prince, but he only seconded the proposal and did not specifically write a letter."
Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other. Since Yin Li, the lone minister, opposed the dethronement of the crown prince, it meant that the emperor himself also opposed the dethronement of the crown prince.
As they were talking, Doctor Tan arrived.
He came here last night to make up for his son's mistake. After all, he diagnosed the problem but did not tell the host family. Instead, he stayed with the patient and concealed it from his family. This is a taboo in medicine.
The reason he came today was because Old Madam Yin came to invite him personally early in the morning, asking him to come out again to discuss Yin Huo's condition with Zhou Man and determine how many years he could live.
It can be said that Yin Huo grew up under the care of Old Doctor Tan, and it was also under his treatment. As an imperial physician, he saw Yin Huo more often than he saw any other prince in the palace.
So the feelings are naturally extraordinary.
His condition has taken a turn for the better now, and to be honest, he is quite happy.
In addition, with Zhou Man as a big carrot hanging in front of him, he was still itching to try, so he couldn't help but agree.
However, he still went to see Doctor Ji at his home first before coming here.
Manbao went to discuss the condition with the old doctor Tan, and Madam Yin sat beside them and listened. She didn't care whether she understood or not, she just pricked up her ears and tried her best to remember what they said.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang realized that they didn't quite understand what was being said, so they didn't go out to join in the fun and continued talking to Yin Huo in the room.
Bai Shan said, "We won't have a holiday for the next ten days. We won't have a holiday until the first day of September. Since the entire academy is going on a trip, we need to prepare in advance. Each student will have to pay one or two taels of silver for travel expenses. Do you want to go?"
Yin Huo nodded, "Of course I will go."
"Then give me the money and I'll pay it for you tomorrow." Bai Shan stretched out his hand to him.
After a moment of hesitation, Yin Huo called Changshou in and asked him to weigh out one or two ounces of silver for him.
Yin Huo thought the whole thing was very funny and said to Bai Shan solemnly, "Please."
Bai Shan: "Okay, okay."
Yin Huo turned around and asked Bai Erlang, "Are you guys going to climb the mountain too?"
"We have too many students, and there are quite a few in our grade. It's still noisy and undecided. But I heard that we will be separated, and the group will be decided by the same grade. We guess we won't go climbing, but swimming."
Bai Shan and Yin Huo were surprised. "Swimming? Is there a place to swim in the capital?"
"How would I know? They say they want to emulate the elegance of the Wei and Jin dynasties, but I see the water in the capital is rushing fast. Wouldn't the wine glass and cakes really be knocked over if they were put into the water?"
Not to mention Bai Shan, even Yin Huo couldn't help laughing out loud, which then pulled the wound and caused pain again.
It was the first time that Old Lady Yin heard Yin Huo laugh out loud like this, and she was stunned for a moment on the chair outside.
The next update will be around 9pm
