Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 146 Exam starts

"I have inquired clearly. When the Lord left Wei Ruixuan, Miss Six did go to see the Lord, and talked for a while in the study before leaving." Xue Niang said.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoniang showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth: "This sixth girl is usually very secretive. I thought she was as smart as her sister, but I didn't expect her to hide it so deeply."

"Could it be taught by the old lady?" Xue Niang guessed.

Lin Xiaoniang frowned slightly when she heard this, thought for a while, shook her head and said: "It's not possible. I understand the old lady. She is a kind-hearted person. She usually likes to preach. Generally, she doesn't do this kind of thing. Remember, we will only talk about the pros and cons after the fact.”

She had been raised by the old lady for many years and thought she knew the old lady very well.

I feel that with the temper of the old lady, it is impossible to give Minglan any advice. I will let Minglan do it by herself, and then tell Minglan the pros and cons.

"Miss, you can't say for sure. The old lady is very dear to the sixth lady. The old lady has always been fasting. When the eldest lady was in the old lady's room, the old lady would at most ask someone to add some dishes to the eldest lady alone, but since the sixth lady After going there, the old lady didn't even eat. The food in Shou'antang is so good that it can't even be compared to the one in the master's wife's courtyard." Xu Niang said.

"Hmph! It's not like Mo'er failed to live up to expectations." Lin Xiaoniang snorted coldly.

However, after Xue Niang said this, Lin Xiaoniang was a little unsure for a while whether there was any shadow of the old lady behind this incident.

Although Minglan was hidden deeply, Lin Xiaoniang did not take her seriously.

In her opinion, it was only her failure to notice Minglan before and her negligence that allowed her to succeed this time.

But it would be a bit troublesome if the old lady was behind Minglan to give her advice.

If she targets Minglan, she is tantamount to fighting against the old lady.

Lin Xiaoniang knew very well that even if she was favored by Sheng Hong again, the old lady was her legitimate mother, and Sheng Hong would not dare to be disrespectful to the old lady.

Once you get into trouble with an old lady, you will always be the loser regardless of whether she is reasonable or not.

If the old lady really gets violent, Sheng Hong won't be able to protect her.

Lin Xiaoniang knows very well that in this Sheng family, the old lady and Sheng Changbai cannot be messed with.

Mrs. Sheng represents filial piety, and Sheng Changbai is the future of the Sheng family in Sheng Hong's eyes.

Over the years, she had made trouble as much as she wanted, but she never dared to target these two.

Originally, Lin Xiaoniang was ready to make a plan to take revenge on Minglan for letting her know how powerful she was.

But after Xue Niang said this, she was a little unsure for a moment. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Have someone tell me to keep an eye on her first."

"Yes." Xue Niang responded.

"Also, ask someone to keep an eye on Aunt Wei's movements."

Lin Xiaoniang sneered: "If I can't deal with you for now, then I'll take it out on her biological mother."

……

In the eighth year of God's blessing, September 15th will be the day of Yangzhou County Examination.

A few days in advance, Mrs. Liu prepared the things Li An needed for the imperial examination.

County examinations usually last for five days and four nights, during which time they are held in a closed environment, with food and accommodation provided inside.

Not only do you need to prepare your own pen and ink, but you also need to prepare your own food, drinks, and toiletries.

As for those who didn’t bring them, they would just have to go hungry.

The night before the exam, Mrs. Liu sent Li An back to his room to sleep early. He and Zhang Qing checked the prepared things several times.

They kept working until late at night before going back to their rooms to sleep.

However, Ms. Liu lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply sat up and leaned against the wall, listening to Li Nan's snoring next to her, which made her feel even more irritable.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of Li Nan turning over made Liu, who was lost in thought, jump.

After a while, the snoring came again, and Mrs. Liu was so angry that she couldn't help but kick Li Nan.

"Ok?"

Li Nan woke up in a daze, and saw a figure at the foot of the bed through the moonlight, and he woke up completely with a jolt.

"What are you doing sitting there without sleeping at this late hour? You scared me."

Seeing clearly that it was Mrs. Liu, Li Nan breathed a sigh of relief and said with some complaint.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep, you know how to sleep. A Niu will take the county examination tomorrow, and you, the father, don't worry about it at all." Mrs. Liu said angrily. Li Nan looked at the position of the moon outside the window and said, "It's just the right time now, and the county examination room will be entering at about nine o'clock. How can I have the energy to see Aniu off if I don't sleep?"

"I always feel that something is missing. You woke up just in time. Let's check again." Ms. Liu said.

Li Nan: "..."

Why did you wake me up? Wasn't it you who kicked me awake?

But he also knew that he couldn't reason with women, so he got up directly, lit the lamp in the dark, picked up his clothes and put them on while urging: "Hurry up."

By the time Madam Liu got dressed, Li Nan had already lit the lantern, yawned, and walked to the front hall with Madam Liu carrying the lantern.

"Please keep your voice down, what if you wake up your son?" Mrs. Liu said in a low voice.

"A Niu is separated from us by a courtyard. How could I disturb him by yawning?" Li Nan said speechlessly.

"What if?" Liu said.

Li Nan: "..."

The couple came to the front hall and waited for Li Nan to light the lamp. Mrs. Liu unpacked the large package and began to inspect it.

"The mattress is too thin. It's a bit cold at night now. It will be even colder if it rains. Please change it to a thicker one."

"The braised pork is a little short. I have to take the exam for five days. I can't find enough to eat. Let's get some more."

……

Mrs. Liu talked a lot eloquently, but Li Nan was smart enough not to say anything against it.

Liu does whatever he says, and the main thing is obedience.

After the tossing was over, the two packages, which were already large, became even bigger.

Ms. Liu still felt uneasy about this and was ready to check it out again.

Fortunately, Li Nan reminded her that it was time to cook, so she gave up.

Li Nan heard Yin Shi's wake-up call coming from outside and said, "I'm going to wake Aniu up."

"What's the hurry? Our house is close to the examination room. Let Aniu sleep for a while." Ms. Liu stopped him.

There is nothing Li Nan can do about his wife's double standards.

……

In Li An's room, when he heard the sound of Yin Shi's banging, he opened his eyes, got dressed by the moonlight, and went to the yard to box.

Just as he was talking, the door to the next door opened and Shizhu came out.

"Zhuzi, I'm sorry for disturbing you in your sleep." Li An apologized.

Usually when they practice martial arts, they get up after midnight, which is around five o'clock in the future.

But today is the day when the county examination starts. He went to bed early last night and got up an hour earlier than usual.

"Brother A Niu, I slept early last night and was not tired."

Shi Zhu smiled innocently and punched at the side.

After a set of punches, the person becomes completely energetic.

After washing up, the two of them left the yard.

When he came to the front hall and looked at the bright lights in the hall and the faint voices of his parents talking, the corners of Li An's eyes were a little moist.

In my previous life, I remember that I was admitted to college. The day before departure, my mother came back.

Because he had to catch a train, he set off relatively early. When he got up that morning, his mother had already prepared breakfast for him.

Later he found out that his mother didn't sleep that night.

The situation then was so similar to today.

Li An wiped the corners of his eyes and walked in with Shi Zhu.
