Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 207 Punished
"Minglan has a few words to say to brother Ziqian." Minglan leaned forward and said.

Li An pointed to the pavilion not far away and said, "Let's go over there and talk."

Minglan nodded without objecting, and Li An walked directly to the pavilion upon seeing this.

Minglan and Xiao Tao followed. When they were approaching the pavilion, Xiao Tao stopped.

Li An and Minglan came to the pavilion, sat down on the stone bench, and said, "Sixth sister, do you have anything to say?"

Minglan looked at Li An complicatedly and said, "I want to ask what the letter means?"

Seeing that something was wrong with Minglan's expression, Li An thought that Qi Heng did not reveal his identity in the letter, making Minglan mistakenly think that it was written by him, so he quickly explained: "Yuan Ruo asked me to deliver the letter to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li An reacted.

They had been classmates for several years, so it was impossible for Minglan not to recognize their handwriting.

Minglan asked: "Does Brother Ziqian know the content of the letter?"

Minglan's face turned red, she stood up suddenly and said, "It's time to go to class soon, I'll leave first."

After the words fell, he and Xiao Tao hurried away.

After saying that, he turned and left the pavilion, walked a few steps, stopped, and without looking back, said: "At that time, I didn't even know that the letter was given to me by my young father-in-law."

"I don't know, but I can guess a little bit."

Li An didn't know how to answer this for a while.

Minglan turned to look at Li An and said, "Brother Ziqian, if my young master asks you to deliver a message again, don't agree anymore."

"I never made it clear to him." Minglan said quietly.

After a moment of silence, Li An said: "I think it's better to explain many things clearly as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Li An nodded repeatedly, hesitated, and said, "Miss Six, when I wrote you a letter yesterday, I saw some joy in your eyes."

Li An originally wanted to say that Qi Heng asked him for help, but he couldn't refuse.

There was a roar in Li An's mind, and he stared blankly at Minglan's leaving figure.

Minglan looked away from Li An, looked at a tree with yellow leaves outside the pavilion, and said, "Since brother Ziqian guessed it, why did he still send me a message for him?"

"Uh…"

But when the words came to my lips, I felt that it was inappropriate to say so.

Indeed, Minglan kept a distance when facing Qi Heng and did not give Qi Heng any hope.

When he gave the letter to Minglan yesterday, he actually regretted it.

Li An shook his head. He really didn't know, but it wasn't hard to guess. It was just some words of confession.

He wanted Qi Heng to retreat when he saw the difficulty, but Qi Heng kept stalking him.

However, when Minglan saw the letter, her eyes were bright and joyful, and she was obviously very happy.

After all, Qi Heng's expression of love is not a good thing for Minglan, but a trouble.

"I…"

It wasn't until the sound of bangs sounded that Li An came back to his senses and hurried to the school.

Li An came to his seat and glanced at Minglan when he sat down.

Minglan put her right hand on her head, and her face was blocked.

At this time, there were slight footsteps outside, and Li An could only sit down.

After class, Li An had no intention of listening to what Zhuang Xuexue said. He kept thinking about Minglan's words.

Minglan didn't know that the letter was from Qi Heng, but she showed joy when she received it.

In other words, she mistakenly thought that the letter was from him, so she showed joy.

Although Li An has never been in love in his life, he is not a straight man. How could he not hear Minglan's words that seemed to be a confession?
Li An's mind was in chaos. How could Minglan like him?
Regardless of his appearance and family background, he is far worse than Qi Heng.

In addition to helping her mother when she was having a difficult childbirth, she also went to Jiangnan on the same ship last time.

Usually in school, he and Minglan didn't interact as much as Qi Heng.

Could it be because he helped her when she was most helpless and she regarded gratitude as love?
Thinking so, it doesn't seem impossible.

Although Minglan is very sober and has a strong personality, in the final analysis she is just a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. However, Ang Lee soon denied this speculation. After all, Gu Tingye also helped her in the original drama, and Minglan was not moved by Gu Tingye because of this.

Li An thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why Minglan liked him.

It is said that one must marry a virtuous wife.

Li An occasionally thought about the candidate for his future wife.

Whether you know it or not, Yu Yanran, Zhang Guifen, Minglan and Hai Chaoyun are all ideal candidates.

Not only are people virtuous, but their family backgrounds are also good.

Among these people, the possibility of marrying Zhang Guifen is undoubtedly the lowest.

There were rumors that when the first prince of the Guan family and the Queen was born, they intended to get engaged to the British family.

As the saying goes, there is no storm without fire, and the Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs. In order to appease the generals, the emperor chose the concubine for his eldest son from among the nobles.

Generally speaking, the eldest son is basically the future prince, and as the concubine, he is the future queen.

It's a pity that the prince died young, otherwise Zhang Guifen would probably be the future queen.

Of course, this is just a rumor, and the prince died young.

However, the British government was not something he could reach.

Yu Yanran and Hai Chaoyun have a good chance.

Both families are from scholarly families. In comparison, family status is not that important. As long as they can be named in the gold list and their ranking is not low, they still have a chance.

Moreover, the two families have considerable influence among the civil servants, unlike the British government whose influence is all in the military.

Minglan is the one with the worst family background.

Minglan is a concubine, and Sheng Hong is only a sixth-grade girl.

Mrs. Sheng also had no contact with her natal family.

It can be said that marrying Minglan and the Sheng family will not be of much help to him in his career.

But in Li An's mind, Minglan's bright smile always appeared on the polo field.

"Boom boom boom!"

Xuexue Zhuang knocked on the table and said, "Zi Qian."

Li An came to his senses, stood up and saluted, "Scholars."

"Tell me what you think about the paragraph I just talked about." Zhuang Xuexue said calmly.

"Uh…"

He was distracted the whole time, so he didn't know what Zhuang Xuexue was talking about.

"Sit down. The provincial examination is not far away. It's best to be more serious in class." Zhuang Xuexue said.

"Yes, the student realized his mistake." Li An said with a look of shame on his face.

Zhuang Xuexue said nothing more, picked up the book and continued talking.

Li An didn't dare to think nonsense now and listened seriously.

After class, Xuexue Zhuang looked at Li An and said, "If you were distracted in class, you will be punished by copying the "Book of Rites" once and hand it over to me in three days."

After that, he took the book and left the school.

Li An: "..."

There are forty-nine chapters in the Book of Rites, with a total of nearly 100,000 words.

Three days, which means I have to write more than 30,000 words every day.

"Zi Qian, you usually take class very seriously. What happened today?" Sheng Changbai turned around and asked.

"It's nothing, I just got distracted thinking about something." Li An shook his head.

"Once Zhuang Xuexiu has said it, there is no room for change. And according to Zhuang Xuexiu's consistent request, the punishment must be calculated on the same day, and the handwriting must not be out of shape." Sheng Changbai said with a sympathetic look.
