Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 301 Fateful encounter?
"I've met Mrs. Wang." Li An and Liu Waner walked into the tent and saluted.

"No need to be polite, are you here to see Minglan?" Madam Wang said with a smile.

"Well, I'm here to play with Rulan Minglan." Liu Waner said.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Rulan Minglan, who looked excited, and said, "I came out today just for fun. Since Wan'er comes to see you, you go ahead and remember not to run too far."

"Yes, mother (eldest lady)!" Rulan and Minglan responded.

"Brother Cheng, are you coming together?" Li An said with a smile.

"I won't go. I'll stay with my mother here." Sheng Changbai refused.

His personality didn't like such occasions very much. If Mrs. Wang hadn't asked him to come, he would have preferred to stay at home and read.

Li An didn't force her, and Liu Waner and the others bowed to Mrs. Wang and left the tent.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Sheng Changfeng and Mo Lan who were sitting there, and said calmly: "You guys should go and play too."

Sheng Changfeng and Mo Lan felt very uncomfortable being next to Mrs. Wang. After hearing this, they bowed and left the tent.

Mo Lan wanted to stop Sheng Changfeng, but when she saw that Sheng Changfeng didn't stop at all, she stamped her feet angrily.

Minglan was stunned, shook her head and said, "Let's forget it."

She didn't want to take Sheng Changfeng and Mo Lan with her.

Minglan and Li An stood aside waiting, holding the corners of their clothes with both hands, and whispered: "Congratulations to Brother Ziqian for winning the election."

Li An and Minglan could only follow behind and came to Chui Wan's place. When the round was over, Liu Waner and Ru Lan went over to play.

After leaving the tent, Sheng Changfeng looked around, said something, then left Mo Lan and ran away alone.

Li An smiled, glanced at the game going on on the polo field, and said, "Sixth sister, how about we form a team and play together?"

……

"Yes!"

After some hesitation, Mo Lan came under the tented stand and pretended to watch polo, hoping that Qi Heng would see her and come over to talk to her.

"Sister, I saw a few friends, so I went over first."

"what…"

Minglan was startled and looked at Li An with some confusion.

"Hey…"

On the other side, after Li An and others left the tent, Rulan and Liu Waner chatted for a few words and then proposed to play Chuiwan.

There are a lot of official family members coming today, and it is inevitable that some familiar ones will come and walk around in a while.

Mo Lan wanted to go over and talk to Qi Heng, but the people surrounding Qi Heng's tent were all unknown men. If she, a woman, went there, she would inevitably be gossiped about.

Li An looked at Minglan and said, "Do you still remember what I told you last time?"

Mrs. Wang was there over the tent, and she didn't want to go back, so she could only take Yunzai around.

After walking around for a while, Mo Lan's eyes lit up. She actually saw Qi Heng in a tent.

"I said, you can do whatever you like. If you don't like it, you don't have to do it. I know you like playing polo, so don't worry so much." Li An said.

He could tell that the reason why Minglan refused was not because she was worried about being talked about if she teamed up with him.

After all, the two are officially engaged, so teaming up to play polo will not cause gossip.

Nowadays, Zhu Neo's theory has not yet become popular, and women are not as close to home as they were in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

But even so, in most people's thinking, women should also be knowledgeable and polite, and learn tea arts, flower arranging, nvren and so on.

If you play polo on the field, you will inevitably be criticized.

In Bianjing, only a handful of official ladies end up playing polo.

The last time Minglan left the field to play polo, Li An heard afterwards that Minglan was said a few words by Sheng Hong after she returned.

Minglan hesitated for a while, then shook her head and said, "Brother Ziqian, thank you, but let's forget it for now."

Li An thought for a moment and roughly understood what Minglan meant. He didn't insist and said with a smile: "It's too noisy here. Let's go somewhere else."

"What about Fifth Sister and Sister Wan'er?" Minglan asked with some interest.

"Haha, you see how hard they play, they can't finish it for a while. Besides, this is a polo field, can people be lost?" Li An said.

"Yeah." Minglan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Li An, Ru Lan and their two maids said hello and took Ming Lan out of Chui Wan area.

The two walked side by side, with Xiaotao and Desheng following far behind. "By the way, brother Ziqian, I heard from my aunt last time that they will return to Yangzhou after the results of the provincial examination are announced. I wonder when they plan to go back?" Minglan asked.

"My parents will go back tomorrow." Li An said.

"So urgent? Why don't you stay in Bianjing for a while?" Minglan asked in surprise.

"I stayed. They said they missed their grandson and had enough fun in Bianjing." Li An shook his head.

"Oh." Minglan nodded and said, "Then I will go see my uncle and aunt off tomorrow."

"Haha, my parents would be very happy if they knew about it. They like you as a wife more than me as a son." Li An said with a smile.

"ah!"

Minglan's face turned red with embarrassment and she said angrily, "Brother Ziqian, what are you talking nonsense about?"

"The marriage has been decided. You are nothing but my wife. Where did I talk nonsense?"

Li An thinks Minglan's shy look is very cute and likes to tease her.

"I…"

Minglan stamped her feet, not daring to look at Li An, and quickened her pace.

"Hey, wait for me."

Li An hurriedly caught up and said, "Sixth sister, you shouldn't be angry anymore."

Minglan lowered her head and whispered: "No...no, it's just that what Brother Ziqian said was too embarrassing."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Li An also knew that enough was enough, so he changed the subject and said, "I heard that Mrs. Sheng hired a nun from the palace to teach you the rules. My wife wants to send Wan'er to learn the rules. You can go back and ask Mrs. Sheng. mean."

"Well, this is a small matter, and grandma should agree." Minglan said.

"You should ask first. If Mrs. Sheng is willing, my wife will naturally go to the Sheng family." Li An said.

It's not good for Mrs. Zhang to come directly to ask about this kind of thing, otherwise it's hard for people to refuse if they don't want to. Even if they agree, they will feel uncomfortable.

When Ming Lan asked, Mrs. Zhang didn't come forward directly. Mrs. Sheng didn't agree, so everyone could live with it in terms of face.

The two of them walked around for about a stick of incense before going back to find Liu Waner and the others.

Ancient ethics were strict, and even if two people were engaged, they would not be allowed to be alone for too long, otherwise there would inevitably be some rumors.

However, in this short period of time, the relationship between the two has deepened a lot.

Since her engagement, Minglan has been shy and always very reserved when facing Li An.

Being alone this time made Minglan relax a lot.

The two returned to Chui Wan's place, and Liu Waner and Ru Lan were still playing.

There was a lot of sweat on both of their foreheads and they were having a great time.

Li An and Minglan looked at each other and could only wait nearby.

After the two of them finished, they still wanted to play again. Li An quickly interrupted: "You see you are all sweating because of the heat. Let's go back and drink some water first."

The two of them were indeed a little hot. As soon as Li An said it, he felt a little thirsty and agreed.

Because the Liu family's tent was closer to here, at Liu Waner's suggestion, she went to the Liu family's tent.

While walking, Li An saw Mo Lan, who was chatting with a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. The fan in his hand covered his face with a smile from time to time, and he seemed to be having a very happy chat.

"Could this be Liang Han?" Li An frowned slightly.

Li An was a little worried that Mo Lan would still have a private meeting with Liang Han like in the original drama.

Because of him, many things have changed.

In the original drama, Mrs. Wu fell in love with Minglan and went through a lot of trouble to get Liang Han to marry Minglan.

Although it didn't work out in the end, it was precisely because Mrs. Wu focused on Ming Lan that Liang Han never married.

When the secret meeting between Liang Han and Mo Lan was exposed, Liang Han was not engaged.

At that time, the Sheng family's family status had improved a lot due to the marriage with the Hai family. In addition, Mrs. Sheng came forward in person, and Mrs. Wu also considered the face of the Liang family, so she had to agree and let Liang Han marry Mo Lan.

But now that he and Minglan were engaged, Mrs. Wu naturally couldn't put any thought into Minglan.

I will definitely continue to look for a happy wife.

If Mo Lan and Liang Han still have a private meeting like in the original drama, and Mrs. Wu decides on Liang Han's marriage before the matter is exposed, it will be great fun.
