Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 397 Don’t care about your deeds

"I'll make some tea for brother Ziqian to try." Minglan said with a smile.

"I heard that you learned it from the aunt in the palace, but I haven't been able to try it. I want to try it this time." Li An said with a smile.

"Brother Ziqian, please wait a moment."

After Minglan finished speaking, she started to work.

The tea leaves at this time were specially prepared and made into tea powder.

When making tea, you still need to stir constantly. The taste is definitely different from the direct brewing method in later generations. Li An was not used to it in the past, but he has gradually gotten used to it over the years.

Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but when you make tea, it is quite pleasing to the eye.

Minglan's movements were smooth and flowing. Li An smelled the orchid-like musk fragrance exuding from Minglan's body and her pleasing movements. He was stunned for a while.

He was originally the soul of an adult, and now that he was seventeen years old, he was at the peak of his youth.

"It's so delicious. This is the best tea I've ever had. Sister Six is ​​so ingenious!" Li An praised.

Minglan retracted her hand like an electric shock, lowering her head and not daring to look at Li An, her ears turned red.

A blush appeared on Minglan's face, her eyes lowered slightly, and she whispered: "Brother Ziqian, try it."

Li An coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, brought the tea cup to his mouth and took a sip.

"oh oh."

Now it seems that just as he thought, Ru Lan still likes Wen Yanjing.

After a long time, she made the tea and handed it to Li An, only to find that Li An was looking at her blankly, with a hint of fire in his eyes.

Minglan was very serious when making tea and didn't notice anything strange about Li An.

"As I said, you don't need to be so polite with me. If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Li An said.

Li An felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart, but fortunately he still had some sense and restrained it.

Li An was silent after listening. The last time he released the test results, he felt that Ru Lan was too concerned about Wen Yanjing.

To be honest, he didn't taste it at all, but that didn't stop him from praising it.

Li An came to his senses and reached out to take it, but his hand accidentally touched Minglan's hand.

"You asked me to ask Wen Yanjing what he thought because you wanted to test him?" Li An asked.

Minglan lowered her head when she heard this, pinched the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "Brother Ziqian, I came to you this time because I have something to ask you to help me with."

However, after coming to this world for many years, Ang Lee has understood that some things will not happen just because they are early or late.

"Cough cough..."

As Minglan spoke, she told Ru Lan that she liked Wen Yanjing, but was afraid that her family would not agree, so she had been pestering her to find a way.

Fortunately, Li An had already received the tea cup, otherwise the tea cup would have fallen to the ground in just this moment.

"It's about my fifth sister."

Although Wen Yan worshiped Sheng Hong as his teacher much earlier than the original timeline, Ru Lan still fell in love with Wen Yanjing.

"Ok!"

Minglan nodded and said: "The fifth sister is the legitimate daughter, and the eldest lady is more important to family status, so it is almost impossible to agree. But the fifth sister is devoted to him, and even said that she would become a nun. If Wen Yan Jing only values ​​the fifth sister’s identity so that the fifth sister can give up her mind as soon as possible.”

After hearing this, Li An pondered for a while and said, "Actually, you are overcomplicating things."

Minglan looked at Li An suspiciously after hearing this. Li An thought for a while and said: "Now that we are just the two, we don't need to worry so much about talking. I have been studying in the Sheng family for several years, and I know a lot about some things about the Sheng family. What do you think about Mrs. Wang marrying into the Sheng family?" Is home good or bad for her?”

Minglan was stunned and instinctively wanted to say no, but after thinking about it carefully, she stopped.

How is Madam Wang’s marriage to Sheng Hong going?

Seriously, it's not good, but it's not bad either.

Although Sheng Hong doted on his concubines, he was not considered a wife-killer. Mrs. Wang was simple-minded and had no scheming intentions. If she married into another family, she might not be as comfortable as she was in the Sheng family due to her temperament.

After hesitating for a while, Minglan said with some uncertainty: "Brother Ziqian, do you mean that it doesn't matter whether Wen Yanjing is sincere or fake? The most important thing is whether the fifth sister can live comfortably after marrying her?"

"That's right!" Li An nodded and said: "We have been classmates for many years, and I have some understanding of the temperament of the fifth girl. With her temperament, it is not suitable for her to marry high or to a well-matched family. On the contrary, it is suitable for her to marry low. is the best choice.”

Li An didn't know whether Wen Yanjing was interested in Ru Lan's family background or whether he really liked Ru Lan.

But in Li An's view, even if he is interested in Ru Lan's family background, as long as he treats Ru Lan well, it doesn't really make any difference.

Some people may think that Ru Lan has been living in a lie.

But as long as the lie is not exposed, what is the difference between it and the truth?
Although Sheng Hong dotes on his concubine, he never destroys his wife.

Maybe he's a little hypocritical, but does that matter?

This can be seen from Mrs. Wang and Aunt Kang.

Although Sheng Hong was a bit hypocritical, Mrs. Wang's life in the Sheng family was generally good, except for Miss Lin who was causing trouble for her.

And what about Aunt Kang?
Kang Haifeng was really good-natured and didn't like that Aunt Kang kept taking concubines without any pretense.

Aunt Kang was also very capable, keeping those concubines and concubines and concubines in good condition.

But when it comes to happiness, she is far behind Mrs. Wang.

Rulan's temperament can be said to be in the same vein as Mrs. Wang. To put it bluntly, she doesn't even have the brains of Mrs. Wang.

If she were to marry into a high-ranking family, even a well-matched family, with her temperament, none of her parents-in-law, sisters-in-law, or even her husband would like her.

As for marrying Wen Yanjing, even if he is pretending, for the help of the Sheng family, his future will be very good to Ru Lan.

Even if the Sheng family is no longer helpful to Wen Yanjing in the future, Wen Yanjing cannot abandon Ru Lan for the sake of reputation.

Chen Shimei's situation will only appear when someone has just started their official career, in order to have a backer to make their official career smooth.

But those who have reached a certain level of official status care more about reputation.

Minglan thought for a long time and understood what Li An meant. She opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute.

As a woman, she naturally does not want to live in lies.

As a sister, she didn't want to be like this.

But she had to admit that what Li An said made sense. No matter what the purpose, Wen Yanjing was very suitable for Ru Lan.

Li An knew that it was difficult for Minglan to accept this statement, and comforted him: "As the saying goes, there is no heart in terms of deeds, and there is no saint in terms of heart. Don't think so much."

Minglan nodded and said: "But they can't pass the test of the eldest lady, not to mention the eldest lady intends to promise the fifth sister to the Wang family. I heard that the Wang family has already agreed."

"So you shouldn't worry about this. I'll talk to Shigao later and see what he thinks." Li An said.

"Thank you, brother Ziqian." Minglan said gratefully.
