Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 186 Sansu
Li An returned home and took a quick bath. While Haitang was cleaning up the house, she asked, "Master, Miss Cai'er has settled down. I wonder where Master plans to have her serve?"

Li An thought for a while and said, "Let her take care of the study."

"Yes."

Haitang felt happy, taking care of the study, which meant that she was not serving in the courtyard, but she was still the only personal maid.

How did Li An know that the little maid had so many thoughts in her heart, and asked: "During my absence, no one came to look for me, right?"

"Yeah~"

Haitang Jinghu said: "Last month, a man named Su Shi came to see the young master. He left when he heard that the young master was not there."

"Su Shi?"

Li An was startled. It had been three years since Su Shi left Bianjing. It was indeed time to come back.

He met Su Shi not long after he arrived in Bianjing. At that time, Su Shi had passed the Jinshi examination for some time and was waiting for his appointment in Bianjing.

Haitang thought for a while and said: "I remember that he seemed to say that when the young master comes back, you can go to the old place to find him."

Li An could have found someone to build it privately, but he was worried about getting into trouble, so he got a long stick to use as a gun.

After a long journey, Li An was also very tired. He blew out the candles and fell asleep not long after going to bed.

Because I am used to the weight of the Shi family's ancestral spear, I always feel a little uncomfortable.

"When did Ziqian return to Bianjing?" Zhang asked in surprise.

At that time, Li An was made famous in Bianjing by plagiarizing four sentences from Hengqu, and was promoted to prose official by the government. Unexpectedly, Su Shi came to him one day to discuss knowledge.

Speaking of which, Su Shi was also unlucky. His mother passed away just after he was appointed an official. He had no choice but to resign and return to his hometown to observe filial piety.

Su Shi didn't look down on him because he thought he didn't live up to his name. After going back and forth, the two became good friends.

Because Li An comes often, going to Liu's house is like going back to his own home.

"Didn't he say anything?" Li An asked.

"Yes." Haitang bowed, hugged Li An's clothes and retreated.

After washing up and having breakfast, Li An found the gifts he had brought for his master and his wife and Liu Waner, asked Wei Xiao to hitch the carriage, and took the gifts to Zhang's house.

Now I am practicing with a long stone gun. Since I haven’t used it for a while, I was a little uncomfortable at first.

At that time, An Li had only been studying for less than two years. Even if he could never forget anything, he had no talent for learning.

After practicing it once, I slowly regained my feeling. I practiced it again dripping with sweat and felt refreshed.

"Master's wife!" Li An saluted.

As soon as they arrived outside the front hall, Mrs. Zhang learned the news and came out.

Swords were also controlled knives in ancient times and could not be bought and sold at will, let alone long guns.

The carriage stopped, Li An got off the carriage, Desheng followed behind with his things, asked to open the door and went in.

"Okay, I understand. You should go back and rest early." Li An said.

The next day, Li An got up when it was slightly light, picked up the gun and started practicing in the yard.

"Back to Master, I arrived in Bianjing yesterday afternoon..." Li An replied.

"Come in, why do you bring so many things?" Mrs. Zhang complained as she greeted Li An into the front hall.

"Hey, they are all worthless things. My wife likes to eat snacks and dried fruits from the snack shop in Dongcheng, Yangzhou, so I brought some to my wife," Li An said.

"Bring whatever you want, your teacher brought it all when he came back."

Although Mrs. Zhang was complaining, she couldn't stop the smile on her face.

The things are indeed not expensive, but the kindness is very rare.

Unlike Pan Shan…

Mrs. Zhang invited Li An to sit down and ordered her servants to serve tea.

"I heard from your teacher that you were the first in the case. It's amazing. Your teacher was very happy." Mrs. Zhang praised.

"hey-hey."

Li An was a little embarrassed and said: "It's just a fluke." "What a fluke, your teacher was not the first to be charged that year." Zhang said with a glare.

She only has one granddaughter among her children and grandchildren, and she completely regards Li An as her own grandson.

"By the way, Master, where is sister Wan'er? I even brought her a gift." Li An asked.

According to the time for bathing in Shengjia Academy, today should be the time for bathing.

"That girl went to the British Duke's mansion after dinner early in the morning. The marriage of the adopted daughter of the British Duke has been decided and she is going home to get married. Miss Zhang San can't get along with those girls from noble families in Bianjing. Go, the British princess asked Wan'er to talk to Miss Zhang San to relieve her boredom when she has nothing to do." Ms. Zhang said.

To say that I felt no emotion after hearing that Luo Yun's marriage was settled would be a lie.

To say it's hard is not a stretch.

Li An's mentality at this time was quite similar to that of seeing a very beautiful beauty on the street, but she was holding the hand of a man, and felt that the good cabbage was eaten by the pig.

Ms. Zhang was usually bored at home alone, so it was rare for Li An to talk to her, which made her feel very happy.

He was talking to Li An about how Liu Xuewen came back and was promoted this time, and became the censor of the sixth rank.

As a result, people are busier than before, and it is almost impossible to come back until it gets dark.

Li An chatted with Mr. Zhang for more than an hour and then said goodbye.

"Why are we leaving? It's almost noon. Let's eat before leaving." Madam Zhang said displeased.

"Master's wife, I just came back. I will go to school tomorrow and have a lot of things to deal with." Li An said.

"Since you have something to do, I won't keep you here. Remember to come home for dinner when you have time." Mrs. Zhang said.

"I would have come even if my wife didn't tell me. It's been a long time since I've eaten the food cooked by my wife, so I'm worried." Li An said with a smile.

"Haha, come anytime you want to eat." Mrs. Zhang smiled.

……

After coming out of Liu's house, Li An did not go home, but went to find Su Shi.

The old place Su Shi mentioned was actually the house where they lived when they came to Bianjing last time to take the exam.

The Su family's hometown is in Meishan, Shu region. Although they are not considered a wealthy family in the area, they are still considered wealthy.

The last time the father and son came to Bianjing to take the exam, they rented a small courtyard. Su Shi won the gold medal and ranked first. He became famous in Bianjing and was favored by many people. At that time, he was very likely to stay in the Imperial Academy. Su Xun So he bought the house.

Li An was not sure whether Su Shi was still in Bianjing at this time, so he always wanted to go and have a look.

Arriving at the Su family's house, Li An showed a smile when he saw that there was no padlock on the door.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Squeak~"

After a while, the door opened, and a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing plain clothes, came out.

"Zi Qian!"

"Ziyou!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Zi Qian, I heard that you have been convicted of the crime, congratulations!" Su Che said with cupped hands.

"Brother Ziyou, are you congratulating me or mocking me? You two brothers were named on the gold list at the same time, and you are both ranked first. I am the first in the county examination case, what does it matter?" Li An said with a smile.

"Eh~ That's wrong. As the saying goes, a building with ten thousand feet is built from the ground. If you win the first prize today, you will naturally win the first prize in the next year, and maybe you will be the number one in the future." Su Che said with a smile.

"Then I'll borrow the good news from you." Li An said with a smile.

"Haha, please come inside." Su Che turned sideways and asked Li An to come into the room.

"Where's brother Zizhan?"

Li An walked into the yard and asked.

Su Che smiled bitterly and said, "He's still sleeping. I'll wake him up."
