Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 285 Mrs. Wang doesn’t support the idle spirit
After sending Ru Lan away, Minglan returned to the room, picked up the unfinished clothes, and prepared to continue making them.

But I unconsciously thought of Li An, calculating the time and the provincial examination should be over early the day after tomorrow.

I don’t know if Li An can pass the exam this time.

Minglan actually doesn't care whether Ang Lee has any fame or not.

However, her father and brother are both scholars, and she knows how much scholars value fame.

Minglan was a little confused for a while. One moment she was worried that Li An would starve and freeze in Gongyuan, and the other moment she was worried that Li An would be hit if he failed the exam.

"girl!"

Cui Wei walked into the room, saluted and called Minglan. Seeing that Minglan was lost in thought and did not respond, her voice became a little louder and she shouted: "Girl!"

Minglan came back to her senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Girl, the old lady sent someone to call you over for dinner." Cui Wei said.

But neither of their exams were in Ren District.

But seeing Minglan so happy made her feel very happy.

Now that she has a grandmother, when she picks her up the day after tomorrow, she can go to Li An's parents first.

Although there was no evidence that Sheng Changjin fell into the water before, Sheng Hong knew in his heart that this incident must have something to do with Lin Xiaoniang.

……

Lin Xiaoniang knew Sheng Hong's temperament very well. She lay dormant for a while. When Sheng Hong's anger completely dissipated, she found an opportunity to play some emotional cards and wiped away some tears. Sheng Hong softened his heart and forgave her.

Minglan was delighted when she heard this and said, "Grandma, my granddaughter knows."

When Mrs. Sheng saw Minglan being so happy, she said in her heart that the female university was not allowed to stay.

In the evening, Sheng Hong came back from duty and went directly to Linqige.

In addition, there were many people rushing to see off the exam that day, so it was not easy for her to find Li An to see her off.

For this reason, Lin Xiaoniang was left out in the cold for a while.

……

"I didn't...thought of anything."

On the day they entered the examination room, she also went to see Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng off.

During this time, Mrs. Wang, because her son was taking the provincial examination, ate fasting and prayed for her son every day.

Minglan put down her clothes, tidied up briefly, and took Xiao Tao to the main hall.

Old Mrs. Sheng didn't expose her when she heard this. She took a sip of soup and put down the bowl. She picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. She said, "Early the day after tomorrow, your second brother and the others will come out of the examination room. Then you will also pick them up." Take it. Brother Li’s parents have been worried a lot during this time. If you meet him then, please remember to take care of him.”

Sheng Hong couldn't bear this, so he had been living in Linqige these days.

"Oh, I'll be there right away."

Minglan's face turned red and she said, "Isn't this Sister Wan'er asking me to embroider a hundred-year-old picture for her? I'm thinking that my grandma will celebrate her sixtieth birthday this year, so I plan to embroider one for her as a gift."

"What are you thinking about? You are distracted while eating!" Mrs. Sheng frowned.

"Lord!"

When the maids standing in the room saw Sheng Hong coming in, they all saluted.

"Ah."

Sheng Hong nodded, handed the official hat to Xue Niang, and asked doubtfully: "Where is Xiao Niang Lin?"

On weekdays, when he comes, Lin Xiaoniang will come out to greet him and change his clothes. Now he doesn't see Lin Xiaoniang, which is a bit strange.

"Go back to my lord, my lady is in the inner room." Xue Niang said.

When Sheng Hong heard this, he felt something was wrong and walked inside.

Entering the inner room, he saw Lin Xiaoniang sitting on the Arhat bed with red and swollen eyes, wiping tears.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Is it because Mo'er went to school to study? Didn't I say that Wen Yan Jingxiang will go back after passing the exam? When Mo'er wants to study, just let her study. "Yes." Sheng Hong came to sit next to Lin Xiaoniang, and looked at Lin Xiaoniang's pear blossoms with rain, and his heart was full of pity. The reason why Sheng Hong likes Lin Xiaoniang is not just because Lin Xiaoniang is beautiful.

Marry a virtuous wife, keep concubines and enjoy sex.

As a concubine, good looks are the most basic thing.

Sheng Hong was a concubine. He was not valued by his father since he was a child, and his mother died of illness early.

After Mrs. Sheng adopted him under her name, she taught him carefully.

But Mrs. Sheng's character is very strict, and she is naturally even stricter when she teaches Sheng Hong.

Growing up in this kind of environment, Sheng Hong prefers women who are as tender as water.

In addition, most literati at this time liked the sentiment of red sleeves adding fragrance.

Madam Wang is not satisfied with these, but Miss Lin is.

Many times, Sheng Hong knew very well that Lin Xiaoniang was putting on a show, but he just stuck with it.

For example, now, when Sheng Hong saw Lin Xiaoniang's appearance, he guessed that she went to school because of Mo Lan.

But seeing Lin Xiaoniang's weak look, her heart softened.

"I'm not the kind of person who messes around. I'm working hard on duty. How could I bother me with such a trivial matter?" Lin Xiaoniang said while wiping her tears.

"Yes, yes, my Shuang'er is the best. Then tell me why you are crying like this."

Sheng Hong took the handkerchief from Lin Xiaoniang's hand and wiped her tears.

"Today Madam Wu from the Earl's Palace of Yongchang came to visit us, and she also brought her brother. She obviously wanted to see our girl, but Madam Wu didn't ask Mo'er to come over.

Master, I know that Mo'er is just a concubine and cannot reach the Earl's Palace of Yongchang. But the eldest lady can't just leave Mo'er alone, right?
Mo'er is about to have haircuts and is old enough to get married. When the girl in this family is old enough, she should be taken out to meet people to discuss marriage. This is what a eldest lady should do.

But the eldest lady left Mo'er behind because she didn't want to see my concubine. I was really worried that the eldest lady would find someone randomly, so I married Mo'er. "

Speaking of the latter part, Lin Xiaoniang burst into tears again.

"What? Is there such a thing?"

Sheng Hong was very angry when he heard this and said: "Don't cry yet. This is what I did wrong. I will give you an explanation. Don't worry, I have already told you. Although Mo'er is a concubine, I will give you an explanation." , but I have always loved her as my legitimate daughter, and I will definitely arrange a good marriage for her in the future.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoniang threw herself into Sheng Hong's arms and sobbed softly: "Thank you, Master, otherwise I really don't know what to do. I know that the eldest lady doesn't want to see me, but Mo'er is just a child, eldest lady How could you do this to her?"

The more Sheng Hong listened, the more angry he became with Madam Wang. After comforting Lin Xiaoniang for a while, he left Lin Qige angrily and went to Wei Ruixuan to settle accounts with Madam Wang.

Lin Xiaoniang looked at Sheng Hong's leaving figure with a sneer on her lips.

This incident gave her a reminder that as the legitimate mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang had a strong say in Mo Lan's marriage.

I don’t know how many such things will happen in the future.

Lin Xiaoniang also used the topic this time to save Mrs. Wang from making a fuss about Mo Lan's marriage in the future.

……

Sheng Hong came to Wei Ruixuan angrily. When he learned that Mrs. Wang was in the side hall, he went directly to the side hall.

On the wall of the side hall, there are portraits of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

The altar table was filled with offerings, and a stick of incense was stuck on the incense burner in the middle, which was half-burned.

Mrs. Wang was kneeling on the futon, clasping her hands and praying with her mouth.

Ever since Sheng Changbai took the provincial examination, Mrs. Wang has started to fast. She would come here to burn incense and pray before eating in the morning, noon and evening.

Wait until the incense burns out before going to eat.

Mrs. Wang doesn’t know how to chant sutras. You can hear it if you get close. She keeps chanting: "Bless my son to be successful in Changbai High School and be named on the gold list next year..."

Sheng Hong came to the door of the side hall. Mother Liu who was guarding the door quickly saluted and said: "Master, the eldest lady is here..."

She wanted to say that the eldest lady was worshiping Buddha, but when she thought of her eldest lady's strange operation, she didn't know what to say.
