Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 295 Celebration
Gu Tingye reached out and took Mannia's hand, comforting him: "Don't be afraid, I'll find a place to settle you down when we get to Bianjing. After I get my name on the gold list next year, I can ask my father's permission to let you in."

"Erlang, as long as I can be with you, I don't care if I can enter the Gu family." Mannia looked at Gu Tingye affectionately.

Gu Tingye was moved and held Mannia in his arms, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will give you a title no matter what."

"Ah."

Mannia leaned in Gu Tingye's arms, nodded slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Okay, I'm going to see the child. You tell people to pack things, and I'll ask Shitou to find the boat tomorrow." Gu Tingye said.

"Well, you go ahead." Mannia nodded.

Gu Tingye went to the backyard to look after the children. After Mannia ordered her servants to pack things, she went out through the side door.

Mannia looked back from time to time along the way. After spending a stick of incense, she came to a small courtyard.

Knocked on the door, but after a while there was no response. Mannia patted the door hard, a little anxious.

"Hey, sister, you must be too careful. Who is Gu Tingye's background? How could he go to the kind of place I go to?" Zhu Dazhi said without caring.

"Why not? You gave birth to two children for the Gu family. It's impossible for the Gu family to not want the Gu family blood, right?" Zhu Dazhi said.

Although Zhu Dazhi was a little impatient, his future prosperity and wealth would depend on his sister, so he naturally did not dare to make her angry.

"Things are not as simple as you think. With our backgrounds, do you think that a family like the Gu family would allow me to come in as a concubine?" Mannia shook her head.

"Remember your words, if there is a next time, you will never ask for money from me again." Mannia snorted coldly.

"That's great. When he is named on the gold medal list next year, he will be able to admit you into the house." Zhu Dazhi said excitedly.

"It's me, open the door quickly!" Mannia shouted.

After a while, the courtyard door opened, revealing a slightly fat man in his twenties.

She and Zhu Dazhi were originally singers and belonged to the lower class. It was not easy to get into a wealthy family like the Gu family.

Mannia saw that the man was disheveled and smelled of alcohol, she frowned and said, "Let's talk after we go in."

"Squeak~"

"Even if he doesn't go, what if he meets you on the road? Then all our years of planning will be in vain." Mannia said with a cold face.

"Okay, okay, I listen to you and I will never go there again."

"Sister, why are you here? Did Gu Tingye pass the exam?" the man asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, I will definitely remember it. By the way, did Gu Tingye pass the exam?" Zhu Dazhi said with a smile on his face.

"He has passed the exam. He said that he will return to Bianjing soon and has no plans to return to Jiangzhou. I am here to inform you that you should go back to Bianjing first and find a place to settle down." Mannia said.

The man quickly stepped aside, allowing Mannia to enter the courtyard, looked around, and closed the courtyard door.

After a while, he looked at the man who walked in and frowned: "Did you go fooling around again last night? I told you, Erlang often goes out to eat and drink with some classmates during this time, so please be honest." , don’t run around, what if you get hit?”

"Who!"

There was a reaction in the lower courtyard, an impatient male voice came, and footsteps sounded in the courtyard.

Mannia entered the courtyard, went to the main hall, and sat down.

"He's just a bastard. How could the Gu family care? But Erlang only cares. I asked you to return to Beijing first because I want you to find a way to find out about the Gu family so that I can think of a solution." Mannia said.

"Sister, it's not difficult to get information, but it costs a lot of money. This money..." Zhu Dazhi looked at his sister with a smile on his face.

Mannia said angrily: "I've given you more than a thousand taels in the past few years, and it's all spent so quickly?"

"Sister, this is Bianjing, and the people who are inquiring are the Gu family's mansions. Do you think ordinary people can know the news about the Gu family? This little money is not enough." Zhu Dazhi said aggrievedly. Mannia knew that although what Zhu Dazhi said was a little watery, it was also true. She took a bracelet from her hand and said, "Erlang said this bracelet is worth three thousand taels. I don't have anything else. You can use it sparingly."

"I know, I know!"

Zhu Dazhi was about to pick up the bracelet with a happy face.

However, Mannia grabbed the bracelet and did not let go. She stared at Zhu Dazhi and said, "If I can enter the Gu family, I will naturally find a way to resolve your matter in the future. When the time comes, please ask Erlang to help you find a job. Maybe my brother You can become an official in no time. Brother, don’t mess up big things because of petty gains!”

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely handle the things you asked me to do." Zhu Dazhi quickly promised.

After hearing this, Mannia let go and said: "I can't come out for a long time, I have to go back. Remember to find someone to keep an eye on the dock. Wait for me to get to Bianjing and find an opportunity to contact me."

"I know, don't worry." Zhu Dazhi said quickly.

……

Li An won the election, which made Li Nan and Liu very happy.

When they got home, they set up a table of delicious food and asked Li An to invite Shi Lin and his son, Liu He, and Liu Xuewen's family over, and they had a great celebration.

When Liu Xuewen and his family arrived, Li Nan and Mr. Liu expressed their gratitude to him repeatedly.

"Haha, you are too polite. To be honest, although I accepted Zi Qian as a student, I really didn't teach him anything. He just followed Zhuang Xuexue." Liu Xuewen said with a smile.

Liu Xuewen also admired Zhuang Xuewen's ability to teach students.

Putting aside Wen Yanjing, all the brothers who studied with Zhuang Xuexue were successful.

He was ashamed of himself for this ability.

Although there are some people who are really talented, Zhuang Xuexue's teaching also deserves a lot of credit.

"Master Liu is being humble. A Niu has already said that you have taught him a lot over the years. We at the Sheng family are also very grateful and are planning to visit us tomorrow to say thank you." Li Nan said with a smile.

When the Li family was celebrating, the Sheng family was also celebrating.

The eldest of the two sons, Sheng Changbai, is only eighteen years old this year, and the younger Sheng Changfeng is only sixteen this year.

Being able to win the lottery at such an age can be said to be a promising future.

If both brothers can get on the gold medal list in the next year's examination, then the Sheng family will be able to prosper for decades if they have three Jinshi.

At that time, the Sheng family was truly a scholarly family.

At noon, the Sheng family held a family banquet, and the whole family gathered together.

According to the rules, concubines are not eligible to attend, but Sheng Changfeng was born to Lin Xiaoniang, and now he has passed the imperial examination. In Sheng Hong's words, Lin Xiaoniang has contributed to the Sheng family and should be able to attend the family banquet.

Because of Xiaoniang Lin's appearance, the atmosphere of the entire family banquet was not as harmonious as expected.

When Mrs. Lin's family was in decline, Mrs. Sheng took her in and tried her best to find a good marriage for her. However, she disliked the fact that Mrs. Sheng's family was too low and she didn't like her at all. She secretly talked to Sheng Hong. illicit sexual relations.

For the sake of the Sheng family's reputation and Sheng Hong's pleading, she had no choice but to let Lin Xiaoniang in.

But he said that he would never see Lin Xiaoniang again and would not allow Lin Xiaoniang to come to Shou'antang.

Now Sheng Hong asked Lin Xiaoniang to attend the family banquet. If today was not a big day, she would fall out.

Even if he couldn't hold back his anger, he still had a bad look on his face.

The other one was Mrs. Wang. She was already very unhappy because Sheng Changfeng had won the imperial examination. However, during the family dinner celebration, Miss Lin made trouble for her, which made her mood even worse.
