Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 240 Yangzhou
After Li An and Minglan parted ways, they no longer had any intention of going to Sanqing Temple to offer incense.

After taking Desheng out of Sanqing Temple, he forgot where the carriage was parked in the square outside the temple.

Li An was walking when he saw Mrs. Wu getting into the carriage with the help of a young man.

"Is this Liang Han?"

Li An glanced at the young man and thought to himself: "Mrs. Wu came to Sanqing Temple for Minglan, right?"

But he didn't care at all. In the original drama, Liang Han failed to marry Minglan, but now he and Minglan are engaged.

Not to mention Liang Han, even Gu Tingye couldn't take it away.

So he didn't care at all.

Mrs. Wu didn't see Li An, and she got into the carriage with her son, and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage.

Liang Han straightened his clothes and said, "Mother, why were you so polite to people just now? Why haven't I heard that there is a Sheng family in Bianjing?"

Liang Han was stunned and said: "My child doesn't think there is anything special. Is it worth traveling all the way for my mother?"

Now that we have met by chance, I will wait until the next year to visit again. Although it is still a bit unexpected, I have an excuse.

Liang Han was a little disapproving. This happened many years ago, and Queen Jing'an had passed away long ago.

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "What you said is good, but not entirely right. To be precise, I came here for her granddaughter."

"Who said I didn't say anything? Didn't I say I would visit when I was free?" Mrs. Wu said.

"Hey, who do I think I am? Now that the Yongyi Marquis Mansion has changed its owner a long time ago and has even gone to Jinling, how can my mother be so polite to her?" Liang Han curled his lips.

Mrs. Wu was surprised: "Why do you think so?"

"What did you say?" Mrs. Wu asked without hearing clearly.

"You're not young anymore. You need to learn how to behave and don't fool around with those bad friends every day." Mrs. Wu said angrily.

"What kind of polo do girls play?" Liang Han muttered in a low voice.

The most important thing is that the Sheng family will also think more about it.

"What mother said, my child is not a fool. You have been going to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense in these years, but you have never been to Sanqing Temple. This time you suddenly came to Sanqing Temple and you didn't meet anyone else." Liang Han said.

"Mother came to Sanqing Temple this time, isn't she here just for Mrs. Sheng's family?" Liang Han asked.

"Just for this? As our family, we go to visit the Sheng family. It's too late for the Sheng family to be happy. Is it so expensive?" Liang Han asked puzzledly.

Mrs. Wu glared and said, "Don't talk nonsense outside. At that time, Marquis Yongyi only had this daughter, but she was so precious. People in the palace followed her many times, and she was very popular with the then Empress Jing'an."

"That little girl?"

"The Sheng family is not well-known in Bianjing, but the old lady just now is not simple. She is the eldest daughter of Yongyi Hou Mansion, and she was famous in Bianjing back then." Mrs. Wu said.

"Haha, my son has made great progress."

"What do you know? That girl is so good at playing polo. I was ashamed of herself when she was that old." Mrs. Wu said.

"It's nothing." Liang Han shook his head and said, "Since mother is here for her, why did we just exchange a few words and didn't see you say anything else."

She has no contact with the Sheng family, so it would be inappropriate to visit them rashly.

"Mother, are you going to accept that girl as your apprentice?" Liang Han changed the subject.

"What kind of apprentice do you want to accept? I am... I just think that girl is interested in me, and I want to invite her to the polo match next year."

Mrs. Wu actually wanted to know more about Minglan. If it suited her wishes, she would let Liang Han marry Minglan.

However, she saw that Liang Han didn't seem to like Minglan very much. If she said it now, Liang Han would definitely make trouble with her because of his temper.

And she wasn't sure yet, so she simply didn't say anything.

Madam Wu fell in love with Minglan because she knew how to play polo.

Although Liang Han was honest in front of her, he looked like a playboy when out of her sight.

Mrs. Wu has always wanted to find someone who can control her.

In Mrs. Wu's opinion, a girl who can play polo is at least not an artificial character.

In addition, what impressed Mrs. Wu the most was that Minglan was raised in front of Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Wu has also heard something about Old Mrs. Sheng. Old Mrs. Sheng can take a concubine to her name and train her to become a talented person, so she is naturally very capable.

As the saying goes, great teachers make great disciples. Minglan has been trained by Mrs. Sheng since she was a child, so her abilities are naturally good.

However, in order to feel more at ease, she still planned to have more contact with Minglan to see her abilities.

"Mother, the polo match you held is not available to many people in Bianjing who want to participate. If you want to invite her, just send her a post. Is it so troublesome?" Liang Han said.

"What do you know? That girl is a concubine. If I send someone a message directly, the eldest lady of the Sheng family may not take her there." Madam Wu said.

Yangzhou
Shi Lin took his son off the boat and went directly to the original Li family's house at Yangzhou Pier.

After the Li family moved to Yangzhou, this house became vacant.

I originally planned to sell it, but because the business in Yangzhou was busy, I kept it.

Shi Lin's house in Lijia Village has long been dilapidated and uninhabitable. When he came back a few years ago, Li Nan asked him to live at home, but he refused, so Li Nan gave him the key and let him live here.

Later, the house was given to him.

Stone Forest was not accepted at first, but Li Nan said it was Shu Xiu who Li An had studied with over the years, so he had to accept it.

Now when they return to Yangzhou, they will naturally want to live here.

This house is made of brick and wood. Because it is relatively new, it does not leak.

Just because no one has lived in it for a long time, there is a lot of dust in the house and there is a musty smell.

Fortunately, the weather was good today. Shi Lin took out the quilt to dry it in the sun, and then took his son to clean up.

After working for a long time, I finally cleaned the house.

In the evening we had dinner at a small restaurant on the pier and then went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, Shi Lin and Shi Zhu took the gifts that Li An dragged him back to Yangzhou City.

When I arrived at Li's house, I knocked on the door and the concierge opened the door after a while.

This was not the first time that Shi Lin and his son came to Li's house. The concierge naturally knew them and led them in directly.

Li Nan and Li Ping, father and son, were in the hall counting how much money they had made this year. When they learned that Shi Lin and his son were coming, they hurriedly came out to greet them.

"Brother Shi, Zhu Zhu, when did you guys come back?" Li Nan looked behind him as he spoke.

Li An told them when he left that he probably wouldn't come back this year, but Li Nan was still a little disappointed when he didn't see Li An.

"We just arrived in Yangzhou yesterday." Shi Lin smiled.

"Then why didn't you come over yesterday? The house over at the dock has not been cleaned up. Come and stay at home for two days first, and I will ask someone to help you clean up." Li Nan said.

"No need, Zhu Zhu and I cleaned up yesterday." Shi Lin said.

"Dad, Uncle Shi, it's cold outside, go in and talk." Li Ping reminded.

"Look at me, I forget everything when I get excited. Come on, please come inside."

As he spoke, Li Nan called to Li Ping to help him unload the large and small bags carried by the father and son, and complained that Shi Lin shouldn't have brought so many things here.

Shi Lin smiled and told them that Li An asked him to bring these things back.

Entering the hall, Li Nan put down his things, asked Shi Lin and his son to sit down, and then ordered tea to be served.

"Aniu, too. I came back a few months ago and asked you to bring so many things. Isn't this a torment?" Li Nan complained.

"Haha, we are taking a boat all the way, and we don't have to carry it on our backs, so there is no hassle." Shi Lin said with a smile.

Although Li Nan complained about Li An, he still thought about his son after not seeing him for several months. Without saying a few words, he asked Shi Lin about Li An's recent situation.

"Brother Shi, what did you say? A Niu is already engaged?"

Li Nan exclaimed and froze when he heard Shi Lin say that Li An was engaged.

"A Niu is engaged? To which girl?"

Mrs. Liu rushed over after hearing the news. When she arrived at the door of the hall, she heard Li Nan's exclamation and quickly walked in and asked.

"Brothers and sisters, A Niu is engaged to be married to the sixth girl of the Tongjuan Shangsheng family in Yangzhou. Because the situation is a bit urgent, I am too far away to ask you for instructions." Shi Lin said and recounted the situation at that time.
