Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 372 The trial is approaching
"Girl, as long as you live a good life, the old lady will be happy and happy, which is also the best reward for the old lady." Fang's mother comforted.

"Yes." Minglan nodded heavily.

The next day, most of the things in Minglan's room were moved, because it hadn't been decorated yet, and Minglan still lived in Shou'an Hall.

However, everyone in the Sheng family already knew that she wanted to take care of the house.

When Mrs. Wang heard the news, she was so angry that she threw things in the room.

In her opinion, Mrs. Sheng just wanted the power to manage the household, and asked Minglan to step forward out of concern for face. In fact, Mrs. Sheng was still in charge.

Mother Liu guessed a bit of Mrs. Sheng's intention, but she was worried that Mrs. Wang would cause something bad. Instead, she comforted her and said that as long as the housekeeping power did not fall into Xiaoniang Lin's hands, it would be a good thing.

This trick is really useful for Mrs. Wang.

When it comes to treating Lin Xiaoniang, Mrs. Wang is happy even if she harms others and does not benefit herself.

When Lin Xiaoniang learned that Mrs. Wang had been deprived of her housekeeping rights, she was so happy that she even drank two glasses of wine during lunch.

Minglan was actually a little unsure. After all, this was her first time as a housekeeper, and she didn't know what she would face.

But she didn't ask Minglan not to take care of the house. She was different from Lin Xiaoniang.

She understood Old Mrs. Sheng's intentions after a little thought, and naturally she would not object.

She thought that when Sheng Hong came back in the evening, the housekeeper's power would fall on her, but who would have thought that it would fall on Minglan.

……

After Li An learned about it, he had nothing to worry about.

It took more than a month for Minglan Butler to learn about it by chance.

After all, this kind of thing is not a glorious thing, and Sheng Changbai will naturally not say this to Li An.

Lin Xiaoniang was very angry.

With Wei Xiaoniang's advice, I felt confident.

Instead, she approached Sheng Hong and wanted him to give her the housekeeping rights.

But this matter was decided by Mrs. Sheng. How could Sheng Hong disobey Mrs. Sheng because of this matter? Instead, he scolded Xiaoniang Lin.

In fact, when Li An learned the news, Minglan had already arranged for Mrs. Wang and Xiaoniang Lin to monitor the troublemakers through her own means.

When Wei Xiaoniang learned that her daughter was the housekeeper, she was worried and called Minglan over to give her some advice.

Lin Xiaoniang originally wanted to ask Sheng Hong to check out the Qi family, but she didn't dare to say anything about it.

But Wei Xiaoniang knew that she was a concubine and Minglan was marrying a decent lady.

After all, housekeepers are capable of corruption, and she had tasted the benefits back then.

Lin Xiaoniang thought her methods were useful and wanted to hand them over to Mo Lan.

She asked Minglan to hide her clumsiness because she was worried that Minglan would be targeted. She didn't want Minglan to learn how she behaved.

Minglan is very smart, and she has been carefully taught by Mrs. Sheng, so she can naturally cope with it.

I'm just worried that Minglan won't be able to handle Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin's troubles.

Keep the Sheng family in order.

Time flies quickly, and the date of the test is getting closer.

Because the officials have already said that after the imperial examination, they will decide on the candidate for the crown prince. This imperial examination is attracting much attention.

Li An has already participated in the county and township examinations, so he has experience and is not too worried.

After all, he has a photographic memory and a very solid foundation. All he needs to do is write the article well.

There were still three days before the exam. On this day, when classes were dismissed in the afternoon, Zhuang Xuexue did not wait for everyone to salute before leaving as usual. Instead, he looked at a few people with a somewhat complicated expression. "There are still three days left before the examination. From tomorrow on, there is no need to come to the school to study. You can have a good rest for a few days and wait for the examination to begin. I am here to wish you all a bright future with your names on the gold list." Zhuang Xuexuan smiled. road.

"Thank you, scholar."

Everyone bowed, their expressions a little complicated.

They all knew that the teacher-student friendship with Zhuang Xuexue was over.

Regardless of whether they can pass the exam or not, Zhuang Xuexue will never teach them again.

In fact, even brothers Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng didn't know that Zhuang Xuexue had asked people to pack their things a few days ago and would leave Bianjing to return to his hometown when the joint examination begins.

In the past, Zhuang Xuexue might still care about his students' grades because it was related to his reputation.

But now he no longer cares about these false names.

Because he was worried that the students' mentality would be affected, he told Sheng Hong not to tell others and set the date for the exam.

"There is always a banquet in the world, why do you need to act like a daughter? With your knowledge, you all have a chance to be named on the gold medal list, but luck also plays a part in the imperial examination. You are all still young, so even if some of you fail, there is no need to be discouraged. If you fail the exam, Zhongyi showed his talents, served the country, and lived up to what he taught me," Zhuang Xuexue said.

"Students, please remember the teachings of academics!" everyone said in unison.

"hehe."

Xuexue Zhuang stood up, looked around everyone, smiled slightly, and left the school.

Li An and the others sat down, feeling a little disappointed.

"Okay, let's work hard and pass the exam, which is the best reward for academics." Gu Tingye said.

"Zhong Huai is right. We try our best to pass the exam, which is the best reward for academics." Li An nodded.

Zhuang Xuexue would only teach them until this test. This was something they had known for a long time, so they quickly adjusted their mentality.

After encouraging each other, they left the school.

"Zi Qian, everyone has been working on the topic these past few months, but you rarely participate. Could it be that you are already confident?" Gu Tingye asked as he walked.

"I won't participate, just because the question is too difficult this time. If I choose the question, it will be affected." Li An shook his head.

The original drama did not mention the examination questions that Gu Tingye and the others participated in.

However, after Gu Tingye followed Zhao Zongquan to suppress the rebellion and rescued the official family, he once asked the official family.

Why should he, like Yang Wuduan, be fifty years old before he can take part in the imperial examination just because he complained for Yang Wuduan?

The official said that he had read Gu Tingye's article and it was very good and he had the ambition to be an upright person.

Wen Zheng was Fan Zhongyan's posthumous title. Li An guessed that the questions in this examination were either related to the reform or something about officialdom.

Reform is unlikely. After all, given the current situation of the government, it is impossible to implement reform.

Although Li An couldn't determine the topic, he had a general direction.

But he couldn't say this, but Gu Tingye and the others also had similar questions, so he didn't need to remind them.

"What Zi Qian said is right. If you bet on the right question, it's okay. If you are wrong, you will be affected. If you are not sure, it is better not to bet." Qi Heng agreed.

Naturally, you have to prepare in advance for the questions. However, when you find out that you didn't bet correctly when the exam started, your work was in vain, which will definitely affect your heart.

"Zi Qian should be open-minded." Wen Yanjing said with a smile.

Many people understand this. In previous years, no one was confident enough to answer questions, only to find out that they made the wrong choice. During the final exam, their mentality collapsed and their performance was not even as good as usual.

Zhuang Xuexue also reminded them that it is a good thing to prepare for the questions in advance, but they should not rely too much on the questions. After all, opportunism is the trick.

But many people still enjoy it.
