Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 297 Lovers eventually become brothers and sisters

Sheng Hong did not accept Wen Yan as his student on a whim.

Ever since Wen Yanjing entered the Sheng family to study, Sheng Hong had noticed him and wanted to take him on as a disciple.

The reason why I confiscated it at that time was because I wanted to see Wen Yanjing's performance in the provincial examination.

Wen Yanjing ranked higher than Sheng Changbai in this provincial examination, so Sheng Hong was naturally very satisfied.

Sheng Hong accepted Wen Yanjing not out of love for talent, but because he was optimistic about his future, which was considered an investment.

In fact, it would be safest to wait for Wen Yan to be named on the gold medal list before accepting him as his disciple.

But recruiting students is just like the venture capital companies of later generations. Sheng Hong can only be regarded as a small company with average connections and funds, and can only invest in potential stocks that have not been noticed by others.

If he really waits to be named on the gold list, it won't be his turn.

In order to accept a disciple this time, Sheng Hong invited some official friends to come and watch the ceremony.

The Shengjia Garden is not small, and now in March and April, when the flowers are in full bloom, the scenery is pleasant.

"With Zhong Huai's talent, it should be no problem." Li An said with a smile.

"That's it. Do you think we can really win Xixia if we follow what you wrote in your article?" Sheng Changbai asked.

"By the way, I have been comparing the map and studying your article these days, and I have a lot of feelings. Ziqian, judging from what you wrote in the article, you seem to know the situation in Hehuang very well?" Sheng Changbai asked.

He knew that Gu Tingye not only passed the provincial examination, but also got a top spot in next year's national examination if his stepmother and Gu Tingyu hadn't plotted against him.

Juniors like Li An basically have no right to speak and can only stay by the side.

Li An was silent for a while and said: "As the saying goes, timing depends on people, and success depends on God. I'm not sure about this either."

From time to time, people would praise Ang Lee and his young talents, but they would still have to smile and say a few words of modest thanks.

"Yes, my worries are unfounded. Zhong Huai said before that he will return to Bianjing whether he wins or not this time. It won't be long before we see each other again." Sheng Changbai said with a smile.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Yeah." Li An nodded.

Li An was startled, then shook his head and said, "It's not like I understand it. There are many businessmen in Bianjing who travel to Hehuang and Xixia. I heard many of them from their mouths."

The main hall of the Sheng family was very lively. Those who came to watch the ceremony were sitting or standing, chatting in groups.

"Let's go and sit in the garden pavilion for a while, otherwise it won't be good if others see us." Sheng Changbai said.

In later generations, many people compared Ping Rongce and Longzhong.

"Me too." Sheng Changbai said.

Li An felt very bored and gave Sheng Changbai a look, and the two of them found an excuse and left the main hall.

"Yes." Li An smiled and nodded.

"It's finally out." Li An smiled.

After the two came to the pavilion and sat down, Sheng Changbai said, "I don't know if Zhong Huai passed the exam."

Li Nan and Mr. Liu didn't like this kind of occasion, and their status didn't suit them to stay longer. They thanked Zhuang Xuexue, gave them a gift of thanks, and went back.

This point must be an exaggeration. After all, when Zhuge Liang proposed the grand confrontation, Liu Bei had always been dependent on others and did not even have a piece of territory.

The grand confrontation not only gave Liu Bei a foothold, but also achieved a three-legged situation.

There is still no comparison between Pingrongce and Longzhong.

But Ping Rongce is indeed a good way to deal with Xixia.

But in fact, the Pingrong policy was implemented in history. The Song Dynasty occupied Hehuang and opened up territory for more than two thousand miles.

Later, the Song Dynasty also launched a five-pronged expedition to Xia, but in the end, it still failed to succeed.

There are many factors for failure, but the biggest problem is internal.

However, Ang Lee is just a small person. Even though he knows the future trend, he does not have the ability to influence the general trend of the world.

"Second Young Master, Young Master Li."

At this moment, a maid came over and saluted.

"What's the matter?" Sheng Changbai frowned. "The old lady asked Mr. Li to go to Shou'an Hall," the maid said.

Li An was stunned. He didn't know why Mrs. Sheng had sent someone to find him. However, Mrs. Sheng was an elder, so he had to go there. He said to Sheng Changbai, "Ze Cheng, I'll go over first."

"Well, I have to go back too." Sheng Changbai nodded.

……

Li An followed the maid to the main hall of Shou'an Hall, where he saw Mrs. Sheng and Princess Ping Ning sitting on the soft couch in the main seat, Madam Wang and San Lan sitting on the left, and Qi Heng sitting on the right.

Accepting a disciple is not a big deal, and none of the people Sheng Hong invited to watch the ceremony brought their wives.

After Princess Pingning came to the door, she was invited to Shou'an Hall and greeted by Mrs. Sheng.

Li An walked to the center of the hall and greeted everyone one by one.

"Haha, Princess, this is Zi Qian."

Mrs. Sheng nodded slightly to Li An, looked at Princess Pingning and smiled.

Princess Pingning looked at Li An and said with a smile: "What a talented person. I would like to congratulate Mrs. Wang on her wonderful son-in-law."

"Haha, thank you, Princess Pingning." Mrs. Wang smiled.

Princess Pingning looked at Li An and smiled and said: "I have always wanted to have a daughter, but unfortunately I didn't have that fate. Seeing how much the girls from the Sheng family liked them, they asked Heng'er to recognize them as their younger sisters. You and the six of the Sheng family The girl is engaged, and Heng'er is a classmate, so we can get closer and closer in the future."

Li An was stunned when he heard this. This scene was not the scene in the original drama where Qi Heng begged Princess Pingning to come to the Sheng family to propose marriage. Princess Pingning pretended to agree, but after coming to the Sheng family, she asked Qi Heng to recognize Minglan as his sister.

It stands to reason that now he and Minglan are engaged, and the engagement has changed. How come it still happened, and it happened in advance.

Li An glanced at Qi Heng, who was sitting aside with an ugly expression. Could it be that Qi Heng still didn't give up and begged Princess Pingning to come to propose marriage? Princess Pingning came to help the lovers finally become brother and sister?

Ang Lee soon denied this ridiculous speculation.

Even if Qi Heng did not give up, he would not be able to ask Princess Pingning to come to propose marriage when he knew that Minglan had already engaged.

After all, even if Princess Pingning didn't know about this and agreed to it, it would be impossible for the Sheng family to agree.

In fact, part of Li An's guess was right. Qi Heng did not give up, and Duo Minglan had always been thinking about him.

Although he knew that there was no possibility for the two of them, he still couldn't bear to miss her.

After he passed the exam, he told Princess Pingning by some strange means that he had been studying at the Sheng family for a long time and now that he had passed the exam, he should come to express his gratitude.

Princess Pingning didn't think much about it at first. Although Qi Heng, Tiandi Jun's personal teacher, did not formally accept Zhuang Xuexue as his teacher, Zhuang Xuexue had taught him a favor, so he should come to express his gratitude.

However, when she agreed, she found that her son, who had always been depressed, suddenly became much happier.

Princess Pingning didn't know that Qi Heng was a drunkard and didn't care about drinking.

After thanking Zhuang Xuexue and arriving at Shou'an Hall, she specifically asked to meet several girls from the Sheng family.

Through observation, he saw that Qi Heng had been peeking at Ming Lan, so he asked Qi Heng to recognize Ming Lan as his sister on the grounds that he had no daughter.

In order not to appear abrupt, and to cut off the thoughts of the Sheng family, she did not let Qi Heng only recognize Minglan, but brought both Ru Lan and Mo Lan with her.

With Mrs. Sheng's wisdom, she couldn't see what Princess Pingning was thinking, so she took the initiative to tell Minglan that Minglan had already decided to get married.

After hearing this, Princess Pingning saw that Qi Heng was not surprised at all, so she knew that Qi Heng had known about this for a long time.

This almost made Princess Pingning angry to death.

Even if Qi Heng fell in love with a concubine, he was already engaged.

If it weren't for the Sheng family, she would have cursed loudly.

Because of Qi Heng's anger, she asked to meet Li An, just to remind Qi Heng that Minglan had already made a marriage decision and make him give up.

Li An didn't know this. He came back to his senses and bowed: "That's what the princess said."

"Haha, Ziqian, sit down." Mrs. Sheng smiled.

"Yes!"

Li An bowed his hands and came to sit next to Qi Heng.
