As for the other side, Sheng Changbai took the carriage back to the house alone, but he didn't encounter anything along the way, and returned to the Sheng Mansion smoothly. At this time, although the old lady and Sheng Hong had learned a lesson, and did not let too much noise to celebrate, Mrs. Wang still took a group of subordinates, pulling Rulan, Minglan, Mo Lan and Sheng Changfeng to greet Sheng Changbai outside the main gate.

After all, now Sheng Changbai is admitted to the Jinshi, for the glory of the Sheng family. That smart Lin Xiaoniang would not touch Sheng Hong's moldy head in this kind of thing, and when she heard Mrs. Wang let people shout, she would not pull Mo Lan and Changfeng to prevent them from going, but let them pretend to be happy for the glory of the Sheng family, especially in front of Sheng Hong.

Everyone waited in front of the Sheng Mansion for a while, and Mo Lan and Changfeng were a little impatient. I saw Sheng Changbai's carriage coming, and when the carriage was parked, Sheng Changbai just came down, and saw Mrs. Wang rushing over directly and pulling Sheng Changbai and said: "My son is really angry for his mother, and it is not in vain that I will give birth to you and raise you." ”

Seeing this, Sheng Changbai hurriedly helped Mrs. Wang and said with relief: "I finally lived up to my mother's expectations." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said: "Hugh wants to say this, you are the best, and I should treat you well today." ”

As he spoke, he took Sheng Changbai to the old lady's Shou'an Hall to say goodbye, and the rest of the people followed, on the way Minglan wanted to ask Li Hao what rank he was, but seeing that Sheng Changbai was being dragged by Mrs. Wang to talk, he didn't have time to ask.

When I arrived at Shou'an Hall, I saw that the old lady was already sitting on the Arhat chair in the main hall, and Mrs. Wang said: "Congratulations to my mother, Bai'er is now admitted to the Jinshi, and the title of the gold list is in the second grade." ”

After hearing this, the old lady said: "Okay, Bai'er has added glory to the lintel of the Sheng family this time, and the whole family will celebrate together when your father comes back." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang replied: "I have already ordered this to go down, let the people get ready, just wait for the master to come back, everyone will be happy and happy together in the evening." ”

After hearing this, the old lady said: "That's good, it's still the eldest lady's thoughtfulness." Then he paused and turned his head and asked Sheng Changbai: "There is one more thing, I don't know how many lists Brother Hao has won today." ”

Hearing the old lady ask, everyone also looked at Sheng Changbai, after all, everyone was curious about this. Then I only heard Sheng Changbai say: "Cousin Li Hao is the official family himself in the roll call today, and he won the third place in the first class, becoming the youngest Tanhualang in this dynasty." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone and the old lady were shocked. Mrs. Wang was even more surprised and said: "Really, that Brother Hao fell for Tanhualang, fifteen-year-old Tanhualang, he is much more powerful than the old lady." After speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked at the old lady's face, and he was relieved when he didn't find anything.

After hearing this, Sheng Changbai said: "How can this matter be fake, now the yellow list is still hanging outside the Donghua Gate." ”

Mrs. Wang said: "No, no, I just didn't expect that child to be able to explore flowers at such an age, and he has a great future in the future." ”

Sheng Changbai replied: "Although Cousin Li Hao is not very old, he has always learned significantly, and although it is a little unexpected to be able to explore flowers, it is also reasonable. In addition, when I first came back, I met my cousin, who said that he would visit his grandmother, father, and mother in the house after a few days of leisure. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said: "Okay, you also spent a few days with his classmates, and you should congratulate him then." Then everyone chatted for a while in Shou'an Hall. I heard the old lady say: "Today, Changbai has been busy in the palace for a long time, go back and rest first, and wait for your father to come back and celebrate in the family." Everyone else should go back to rest. ”

So everyone got up and took their leave. After everyone left, the old lady asked Minglan to stay, and then the old lady said to Minglan : "There are some things that I didn't want to mention now, but now I should ask." ”

"What do you think about Qi Heng's affairs. You have been raised by my side since I was a child, I naturally want you to be the best in the world, Qi Heng is good, and the family is good. But the family is too good, and the parents have a great future, and they are not coincidental with you after all. If you get married, one is that you may not be able to enter the main room, and the other is that even if you do enter the main room, I am afraid that it will be the day of sin, and you must think about these things clearly. ”

Minglan was also speechless after hearing this, and the old lady saw that Minglan didn't speak and continued: "Originally, I didn't want to mention this matter to you in such a hurry, but I think I can't help mentioning it now." ”

Then he asked directly: "What do you think of your cousin, if you were to marry him, would you be willing?" ”

After hearing this, Minglan hurriedly said: "Why does grandmother think so, I have never thought about it." ”

After hearing this, the old lady said: "Originally, this matter was not in a hurry, I planned to talk to your aunt first, but now that Li Hao has ascended to the Jinshi and won the Tanhua, there are many eunuchs in Beijing who want to marry him, and I think he may be suitable for you." ”

After hearing this, Minglan wanted to refute something, but was stopped by the old lady and said, "You listen to me first." Although I haven't seen Li Hao a few times, I look at Shang Wen Liang and frugality, your aunt and uncle are very well educated in this regard, and now that they have won Tanhua, they can be regarded as having a great future. Second, his family is always short of money now, and you can't live a hard life if you marry in the past. Third, it is also the biggest advantage of you marrying his family, that is, your mother-in-law is your aunt, you must know that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been difficult to get along with since ancient times, but your aunt has always been kind to you, if you marry, you will not be manipulated by your mother-in-law, if there is anything, she will naturally be towards you. ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that Minglan didn't speak, the old lady continued: "If you are willing, I will tell your aunt that if you want to come and kiss, your aunt will also agree, and if you inform your father about this matter, your father will never refuse." ”

After hearing this, Minglan subconsciously refused: "But even if my aunt agrees, my cousin may not be willing, this matter is not appropriate." ”

After hearing this, the old lady said: "Marriage has been the order of your parents since ancient times, and the words of the matchmaker are as long as your aunt and uncle-in-law agree." And how do you know that Li Hao will not disagree, my granddaughter is picturesque, beautiful and unspeakable, how can he not like it. Moreover, he is still young now, and most of his past time was spent studying and preparing for the imperial examination, where he has come into contact with any girl, and knows what he likes or dislikes. In the future, if you have more contact, you will naturally have feelings. And this is also a good thing, now he has no one he really likes, and secondly, your aunt has never arranged an inner house girl for him, if you marry, you will have no worries about the inner house. ”

Minglan lowered her head after hearing this, silent, but didn't say yes. Seeing this, the old lady said: "You think about it slowly, but in my opinion, Li Hao is more suitable for you than Qi Heng after all, so you should go down and rest first." ”

After that, Minglan left in a little silence, and Shou'antang slowly quieted down.

And Lin Qige's side was another scene, waiting for Mo Lan and Changfeng to go back, Lin Xiaoniang knew from Mo Lan's mouth that Li Hao was exploring flowers in high school, and her heart was tight, so she sent Mo Lan and Changfeng out and brought Zhou Niangzi.

Lin Xiaoniang said: "I didn't expect Li Hao to be able to explore the flowers, now his family is really prosperous, if they know how Wei Xiaoniang died, I'm afraid there will be no good end." ”

Zhou Niangzi said: "Actually, so many years have passed since the incident, and no one has investigated it, so it shouldn't be known, don't worry about it." ”

Lin Xiaoniang said: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, don't you know some ways for your man, let your man find an excuse to go back to Yangzhou to take care of things, or there is no accident." ”

Zhou Niangzi said: "Yes, don't worry about it. ”

Of course, Li Hao didn't expect anything from the Sheng Mansion at all, and at this time, he and the Zeng brothers were already on the way to Ouyang Mansion.
