Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 265 Undercurrent
After entering the gate, Xiaotao and Minglan walked to Shou'antang.

Walking to a deserted place, Xiao Tao smiled and said, "Girl, Mr. Li is so kind to you."

Although Xiaotao reacted slowly and seemed a bit naive, she was not really stupid.

Li An spoke so clearly that she would be stupid if she still couldn't understand.

"Okay, Xiaotao, do you dare to tease me?" Minglan turned around and glared at her.

"How dare you, my slave? Look, girl, I didn't even notice that the girl likes those pearl earrings. Mr. Li found out. He bought them specially and gave them to the girl." Xiao Tao said.

"That's because you're stupid."

Minglan rolled her eyes at her, but her heart felt sweet.

"Girl, why am I so stupid?" Xiao Tao said unhappily.

"Okay, okay, you're not stupid." Minglan said, "Remember not to tell anyone else about this, okay?"

In the past, Minglan was raised by Mrs. Sheng and she was very doted on.

The butterfly effect may affect some things, causing them to be somewhat different from the original ones. But there are many things that cannot be affected by humans at all.

Only Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong knew about the engagement between Li An and Minglan.

Many people think that Mrs. Sheng will help her choose a good family.

……

If Xiaotao goes around talking about how good Li An is, she doesn't know if Lin Xiaoniang and her daughter will be angry.

Unexpectedly, he was destined to be born in a poor family without even any fame.

"Girl, why?" Xiao Tao asked puzzledly: "I don't know how many people in this mansion are laughing at you. You should let them know and make them angry to death."

Even if she is a concubine, there is no problem in marrying the legitimate son of a small official family.

"Oh." Xiao Tao nodded confusedly.

"Let them laugh at their jokes. Anyway, remember not to say anything and don't argue with those people." Minglan warned.

What happened at Tang's jewelry store today made Li An understand that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Some things must happen depending on a person's character and the circumstances at that time.

It wasn't until Liu Xuewen and his wife brought Li An to the door to give gifts that the news completely spread throughout the Sheng family.

Ang Lee always thought that his time travel would lead to changes in the plot.

At night, Li An was lying on the bed, thinking about today's events.

Li An has been studying in the Sheng family for several years. Everyone in the Sheng family knows everything about Li An's family background.

No matter what she is, she is still a young lady from the Sheng family. If there is no one to instruct the servants in the house, how can they dare to discuss and laugh at her in private, no matter how bold they are?
Apart from Lin Xiaoniang, only Mo Lan would do this in the Sheng family.

But with the personalities of Lin Xiaoniang and her daughter, they will definitely not like her. I don’t know what methods they will use next.

The servants of the Sheng family often talked about jokes. After all, although the Sheng family was not a big deal in Bianjing, Sheng Hong was at least a sixth-rank official.

No matter how bad it is, there is still no problem in marrying a new scholar.

Faced with the wooing of Zhao Xian and Zhao Tong, Li An may not have been unmoved.

After all, I know the plot well, and if I help any party, I will most likely help them ascend to the throne.

When the time comes that I have mastered the power of following the dragon, I will be able to lie down completely.

But what happened today completely dispelled Li An's thoughts.

Judging from today's events, it is estimated that Princess Yong will still attack Rong Feiyan to vent her anger on her daughter.

There is a high probability that things will develop as they did in the original drama.

Even though Zhao Xian and Zhao Tong both tried to win over him, the reason why they win over him is not because he has anything worthy of winning over, but because of his relationship with Liu Xuewen.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to win over Liu Xuewen through him.

Even if Li An could persuade Liu Xuewen to agree to help one of them, he would not be able to influence the decisions of King Yong and King Yan.

In this way, things are still going the same way as in the original work. If you get involved in it, wouldn't you be courting death?

Thinking of this, Ang Lee smiled bitterly. In his previous life, he had read some time-travel novels. The protagonist used his understanding of the future to change history and become famous.

But it doesn't seem to work when it comes to him.

Li An suddenly remembered a passage from later generations. The development of history is not accidental, but inevitable, and will not change with the will of a few people.

Thinking wildly late at night, Li An fell asleep in a daze. …

While Li An was thinking wildly, people with some status in Bianjing were trying to figure out what the officials were thinking.

What happened in the Tang Jewelry Shop quickly spread throughout Bianjing.

But the results of the official handling of this matter are very thought-provoking.

Seriously, this matter is not a big deal, but it is a move after all.

Although it was only a maid who did it, word spread that Lord Jiacheng County had beaten Rong Feiyan.

In any case, the Rong family is Concubine Rong's natal family, so the Lord Jiacheng's actions somewhat slapped the official family in the face.

Zhao Tong went back and told King Yong completely about the matter, and King Yong also knew the seriousness of the matter.

At Zhao Tong's reminder, King Yong immediately went to the palace to plead guilty to the officials.

The officials only reprimanded King Yong a few words, but did not impose any actual punishment. Even the head of Jiacheng County was not punished at all.

Some well-informed people even got the news. Concubine Rong went to the officials to cry, but she was scolded by the officials instead.

The official family has no choice but to do this. The official family does not want to establish a heir apparent now.

From the official's point of view, only if the two of them maintain a relative balance can he hold off without establishing a reserve.

Once the balance is broken and one party gains an advantage, it will be forced to establish a reserve.

Because of the incident in Yangzhou, King Yong, who originally had the advantage, fell into a disadvantage.

King Yan was already very capable and took this opportunity to win over many people.

Fortunately, the balance has not been completely broken yet.

If King Yong is punished at this time, the balance will be completely broken.

Therefore, even if the officials were angry again, they had to endure it and did not punish King Yong.

Those who can serve as officials in Bianjing, regardless of their ability, are very good at understanding people's hearts.

In dealing with the Yangzhou incident and this incident, the officials were a little too lenient towards King Yong.

Many people are speculating whether the official family is more biased towards King Yong.

Many of those who were still vacillating had their thoughts on siding with King Yong.

After all, Conglong's contribution is greater than the founding of the country and the expansion of territory.

Regardless of whether he is the founding hero or the pioneer of territory, his achievements can easily shock the emperor and arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

But it is different from Long Zhigong. After all, when the new king succeeds to the throne, he needs his confidants to control the court.

Not only will they not be suspected, they will also be reused.

They wavered before because the situation was unclear, but now the situation has become 'clear' in the eyes of some people. If they don't take sides now, they may not have a chance in the future.

Bianjing seemed calm for a while, but in fact there was an undercurrent.

……

Li An didn't know this, because he went to bed late at night and rarely got up late the next day.

Read a book in the morning and practice calligraphy in the afternoon.

In the evening, I took a carriage to the Su family, met the Su family and his son, and went to Jingxian Tower to participate in the Shangyuan Poetry Recital.

Jingxian Tower is not in the inner city, but in the northeast of the outer city, almost not far from the outer city wall.

In total, it is already very remote.

The reason for this is that high-rise buildings cannot be built in the inner city. According to regulations, buildings in the inner city cannot exceed three floors, and even the height is limited.

The only exception in the entire inner city is Fan Tower, which is why many people suspect that Fan Tower is a royal property.

The Jingxian Tower is five stories tall and is also a restaurant.

The reason for this name is that Jingxian Tower was built to hold various poetry gatherings from the beginning.

If there are any poems that have been passed down through the ages at the poetry meeting, they can be carved on the wall of the attic for the world to admire, and it will have the reputation of being amazing.

This shocked immortal was not the immortal, but the poetry immortal.
