Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 71 Argument
"My fourth sister's poetic talent is naturally good, so why do I need to give her guidance?"

Qi Heng wanted to refuse, but he didn't want to say it outright.

His excellent family upbringing prevented him from acting in this way.

Qi Heng smiled slightly and finally accepted the letter from Mo Lan, but he only glanced at it casually, his mind already wandering elsewhere.

"Oh, right!"

Qi Heng glanced at the line of girls next to him and noticed that only Sheng Rulan was there, slumped over a table, pouting as if she were gathering her strength. A thought struck him, and he asked casually, "Fourth Sister, why is there only Fifth Sister over there?"

"Where is Sixth Sister?"

The person with a guilty conscience, seemingly afraid of having their "ill intentions" discovered, quickly added, "Right now, I think the time is almost up. If Sixth Sister hasn't arrived by the time Scholar Zhuang arrives, she'll probably be punished by him."

"If that's the case, it's bound to be unpleasant. I wonder about this sixth sister?"

Looking at Mo Lan, Qi Heng showed great brotherly care for his sisters, especially his sixth sister.

Yes, it's definitely just a pure "brother-sister" relationship!
Although Sheng Minglan was always the last to arrive, she was never late.

The most dangerous time was when she arrived just in time. Moreover, even then, Sheng Minglan arrived before Zhuang Xuejiu!
But this time is different. In about half a cup of tea's time, Scholar Zhuang will probably be here, but Sheng Minglan is still nowhere to be seen.

"Sixth Sister?"

Mo Lan was stunned!
If Qi Heng hadn't asked, she probably wouldn't have noticed that someone was missing from the family school.

"this?"

Mo Lan wanted to say she didn't know, but she was afraid that Qi Heng would secretly blame her for not being a proper older sister and for not caring about her younger sister. So she stammered, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Rulan, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, was secretly delighted!
"I know!"

Having long since given up on maintaining the dignity of her family's legitimate daughter, Sheng Rulan suddenly sat up, turned around excitedly, and said to Qi Heng, "Brother Yuanruo, I know about this!"

"Oh?"

Qi Heng was also delighted and quickly asked, "Fifth Sister, do you know what's going on?"

"Humph!"

Rulan glanced triumphantly at Molan beside her, and said with a slightly strange tone, "Yes, Brother Yuanruo!"

Rulan glanced at Molan meaningfully and said seriously, "Among the sisters in this family, the sixth sister is the youngest. Shouldn't we, as the older sisters, care more about our younger sisters?"

"you!"

Mo Lan was furious, but she could only secretly tear at her handkerchief, keeping her expression unchanged, so as not to lose face in front of her brother Yuan Ruo.

Rulan, who had subtly belittled Molan, felt much better. She smiled brightly at Qi Heng and said, "Brother Yuanruo, you don't know this!"

"Sixth Sister was taking Quan-ge to the family school, which is why she was delayed."

"However, Brother Yuanruo, you don't need to worry about Sixth Sister, because Father will come with Sixth Sister and Quan Ge'er to find the scholar, so the scholar won't punish Sixth Sister."

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, a thought suddenly occurred to her: "Is Quan-ge'er coming to study?"

At this moment, Mo Lan, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up.

"Fifth Sister isn't wrong, is she?"

"Is Quan-ge'er also coming to study?"

Mo Lan looked at Ru Lan as if she were looking at a liar: "Fifth Sister, if you don't know, you don't know. Why do you have to make up a reason and tell such a joke?"

Before Rulan could reply, Molan said eloquently, "How old is Quan-ge? How many words could he possibly know?" "He probably can't even write his own name right now, so why would he want to come here to study?"

"You can't expect the old scholar to ignore Brother Yuanruo and the others who are about to enter the examination hall, and instead teach a little kid who can barely read a few words, can you?"

"I think, let alone being a scholar, even my father probably wouldn't agree, would he?"

Sheng Molan looked down on Rulan's intelligence, staring at her with an expression as if she were an idiot.

"you……"

"what do you know?"

"Father said that Quan-ge'er has already started his studies, and now is the age for him to go to school!"

Sheng Rulan was furious!

However, just as Ru Lan was about to scold Mo Lan, she suddenly saw Qi Heng looking at her, seemingly agreeing with Mo Lan's judgment. Only then did she suppress her urge to yell at him and turn to the person next to her for help.

"Second brother, come and be my witness!"

"Didn't Mother say that Father questioned you?"

"Come and judge for yourself, tell me if what I said is right or wrong?"

At this moment, the students in the private school also became curious. They all stopped what they were doing and turned to watch the two Lans arguing, as if they also wanted to know the answer to this matter.

Oh, right!

These "several" did not include Sheng Changbai. He was sitting at the very front, still holding the book in his hands, reciting it constantly, swaying his head, and looking very serious.

"Snapped!"

Upon hearing his younger sister's plea for help, Sheng Changbai finally had no choice but to put down the book in his hand.

He didn't turn his head or get up; he simply managed to utter a single word.

"Ok!"

Just a faint word.

However, although Sheng Changbai spoke little and did not react much, the effect was surprisingly good.

"Look, that's what my second brother said too!"

Ru Lan was overjoyed and presented the best evidence, smiling happily, while Sheng Mo Lan paused, then fell silent.

"It's actually true?"

Leaving aside the others, Sheng Changfeng, who was sitting at the very back, was taken aback!
"For someone as young as Quan to be able to study here, he must be truly remarkable!"

Thinking about his second brother Sheng Changbai's behavior, Sheng Changfeng felt that this matter must exist and could not possibly be something his fifth sister made up.

"Alright! Fourth sister, fifth sister!"

"Stop arguing, everyone! The scholar has arrived!"

Seeing that the two Lans were about to start fighting, Qi Heng quickly stepped in and tried to mediate between them.

After all, he had already gotten the answer he wanted, and it wouldn't be right for him to be so ungrateful and cause his two younger sisters to quarrel.

Moreover, Mr. Zhuang did indeed walk over from not far away.

Of course, besides Zhuang Xuejiu, there were also figures of one adult and two children following closely behind, walking over indistinctly.

That doesn't make sense. How could I suddenly owe so much?
