Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 230 Lin Xiaoniang’s Goddaughter

"Stop trying to scare me."

Mo Lan glared at Minglan and turned away.

"What are you talking about?" Ru Lan muttered.

"Okay, fifth sister." Minglan pulled Rulan and told her to stop making trouble.

Mo Lan acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't react at all.

It wasn't that she was afraid, but that she was in no mood to argue with Ru Lan.

Now she was thinking about how she could continue to study in school.

When Zhuang Xuexue arrived and the class officially started, she didn't even have the heart to listen and was distracted all the time.

It was not only Mo Lan who was distracted, but also Qi Heng.

Xuexue Zhuang asked Qi Heng to sit down and continued the class.

"Sit down."

Realizing that Qi Heng was distracted, he knocked on the table and said, "Young Master!"

"Don't be impatient for now."

"Rulan Minglan and Liu Waner are talking about it. Mom, you have to think of a way. My daughter wants to go to school," Mo Lan said.

Zhuang Xuexue nodded and said: "For the sake of your correct attitude, I will punish you by copying Mencius five times and hand it over to me after you finish your rest."

"Young Master, tell me what you think about the passage I just talked about." Zhuang Xuexue said.

If Qi Heng was punished as usual, Mo Lan would have to go over to comfort him during the break.

Qi Heng came to his senses, stood up and saluted, "Scholar."

Qi Heng bowed and said, "The student was distracted just now because he was thinking about other things. Please punish him."

Mencius has been read five times and is close to 200,000 words. Qi Heng probably has no time to think about it in the past two days.

Zhuang Xuexue didn't care whether the girls listened carefully in class, but he was still very strict with his brothers.

However, she was not in the same mood today. After finally waiting until the second class was over, she left the school without waiting for Yun Zai to pack her things.

All the way to Lin Qige, I saw Lin Xiaoniang's eyes turned red and she said, "Mom, I heard that my grandmother said that we will not be allowed to go to school in the future."

Lin Xiaoniang pulled Mo Lan and asked her to sit down on the soft couch.

Zhuang Xuexue has always punished people like this. It can definitely be completed, and it won't make you stay up all night without any time to rest, but it will definitely not be easy.

Then he sat next to her, picked up a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said: "Those few are not as good at reading as you, and they think it is hard to read. Maybe they are arguing not to read, otherwise why didn't I receive the message?"

There is still one day of classes tomorrow, and I will have a break the day after tomorrow.

Including the time after school today, that is more than two days.

"Very good attitude."

Lin Xiaoniang cried when she saw her daughter come in. She was about to ask, but she was surprised when she heard this: "Why don't you let me read it? I didn't hear the news either? Who did you listen to?"

"But I heard that it was my grandmother who told them to avoid something." Mo Lan said anxiously.

"What is taboo about studying at home? Don't worry, if it is really the old lady who said it, I will beg your father and he will definitely let you study." Lin Xiaoniang said.

"Mom, this is what you said. I have just made some progress with my young father-in-law. If I don't read, how will I have the chance to meet my young father-in-law." Mo Lan said.

"Have you made any progress with the young master?" Lin Xiaoniang looked at her daughter in surprise.

Mo Lan said proudly: "That's natural. Last time at the polo match, I talked with my young father-in-law about poetry for a long time. The young father-in-law also praised me for my good poetry writing and said that few Bianjing women are as talented as me. It’s mine.”

Lin Xiaoniang said happily after hearing this: "Then why didn't you tell me when you came back last time?"

She also feels this is a big progress.

After all, I am an example myself.

Didn't she also attract Sheng Hong through her talent in poetry? The two talked about poetry several times, and Sheng Hong was attracted by her talent and fell in love with her.

She felt that a young man like Xiang Qiheng, who was born into a noble family but loved to study, must also like that kind of talented woman. My daughter has learned a lot. She often talks about poetry with Qi Heng and shows off her talent. It is normal for Qi Heng to be attracted to her.

"Mom, my daughter, aren't you embarrassed?" Mo Lanjiao said angrily.

"Is there anything you are embarrassed about? Mom tells you, this kind of thing needs to be struck while the iron is hot. Didn't you write a lot of poems in the past? You can show them to my young father-in-law and let him see your poems. Talent. You can also ask him for advice, and there will be more opportunities to get in touch with him." Lin Xiaoniang said.

"Mom, my daughter knows. I thought the same thing at first, but I felt that the previous poems were a bit lacking in meaning. I polished one carefully during this period and felt that it was very well written. I originally wanted to show it to my young father-in-law this afternoon. Then I heard the news. At that time, I was so confused that I couldn't think of anything like that. I'm going to show it to my young master tomorrow," Mo Lan said.

"Well, it's good that you understand. Don't fight with that girl Rulan in school all day long. If the young master sees it, it will affect her sense of you. Rulan is just like her mother, just take it easy, okay Very easy to deal with." Lin Xiaoniang said.

"Mom, my daughter has remembered it." Mo Lan nodded.

Lin Xiaoniang still wanted to give her daughter a few words, when a maid came in and saluted: "Miss Lin, the eldest lady just sent someone to tell her that starting from tomorrow, the girls in the family will no longer have to go to school to study."

"Mom, look at it." Mo Lan said anxiously.

"Okay, don't worry yet."

Lin Xiaoniang comforted her daughter and asked the maid, "Can you tell me what the reason is?"

"The servant asked, and the maid who came to deliver the message only said that it was the eldest lady who said it, and just let the younger lady do it." The maid said.

Lin Xiaoniang looked a little ugly when she heard this and said, "Okay, you can go down."

Upon hearing this, the maid bowed and retreated.

"Mom, what should we do now?" Mo Lan asked anxiously.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

Lin Xiaoniang's face was ugly and she said: "I will do what she asks me to do? It's really a dream for her to show off her reputation as a great lady in front of me."

After Lin Xiaoniang finished speaking, she looked at Xue Niang and said, "Go and find out if the master is back. If he is not back, have someone keep an eye on him in the front yard. Wait for the master to come back and ask him to come over."

"Yes." Xue Niang responded and retreated.

After a while, I came back to report that Sheng Hong had just returned, but he had gone to Shou'an Hall to say hello.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoniang could only tell Xue Niang to stare at Shou'antang and invite people over when Sheng Hong came out.

……

Shouantang

Sheng Hong went home and changed into his official uniform, then came to Shou'an Hall to say hello to Mrs. Sheng.

After Sheng Hong saluted, Mrs. Sheng asked him to sit down and said, "You came just in time. I have two things to tell you."

"Mother, please speak. My son is listening," Sheng Hong said.

"I told you before that I make the decision on Minglan's marriage, do you remember it?" Old Mrs. Sheng said.

"My son remembers it," Sheng Hong said.

"I have arranged a marriage for Ming Yatou, who is the brother of the Li family who is studying at home. He is from a lower background, but he has good knowledge and is promising in the imperial examination. He is worthy of Ming Yatou." Old Mrs. Sheng said.

Sheng Hong had some entertainment yesterday, and it was already very late when he came back, and Mrs. Sheng didn't wait for him.

Sheng Hong came over this morning to say hello, because he had to go on duty and didn't have much time.

Mrs. Sheng never had time to tell him about Lan.

"My mother's choice is naturally excellent, and my son has no objection." Sheng Hong said.

He didn't care that a concubine couldn't marry into a high family.

Besides, Li An is the head of the examination in Yangzhou County, which proves that he has good knowledge.

When Sheng Hong first heard the news, he felt a little regretful.

Li An saved Ru Lan back then and had a good relationship with Sheng Changfeng, who often came to his home to borrow books.

If he had offered to accept him as a student earlier, nothing would have happened to Liu Xuewen.

It's not bad to be the father-in-law now.
