Do you know: I am Qi Heng

Chapter 28 My least favorite poems are those by Li Bai

Minglan is a woman, and when she gets married, the relationships between mother-in-law and sister-in-law are much easier to handle than those between sisters.

She knew perfectly well that Sheng Hong had other reasons for sending his daughters to school.

She knew that Minglan was caught in the middle, not only in a dilemma but also likely to be bullied, but she still agreed.

This is a great opportunity for Minglan to grow.

"My granddaughter understands!"

Minglan finally understood her grandmother's good intentions, her eyes reddened slightly, and she nodded.

"Good that you understand." Old Mrs. Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Grandmother, the food is getting cold. Let's eat first," Minglan said with a smile.

Grandma Sheng said, "No rush, there are still guests who haven't arrived yet."

"Guests?" Minglan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Just then, a maidservant came to report: "Madam, the young master has arrived!"

Grandma Sheng waved her hand, and the maidservant withdrew. A moment later, Mama Fang led Qi Heng in.

"Greetings, Madam Sheng!"

Qi Heng bowed and said, "Greetings, Madam!"

"Young Master, there's no need for such formalities!"

Grandma Sheng smiled and invited, "Come on, sit down and have your meal!"

"yes!"

Qi Heng responded with a smile, cupped his hands in greeting to Minglan, and said, "Greetings, Sixth Miss!"

Minglan quickly returned the greeting, not daring to meet Qi Heng's gaze.

Although Rulan and Molan have always been at odds, like needles clashing against wheat awns.

But she had a vague feeling that Qi Heng was also involved in their fight today.

She couldn't quite figure out the connection yet, but her instincts told her to stay away from Qi Heng.

Qi Heng sat to the left of Old Madam Sheng, while Minglan sat to the right.

"Young Master, please don't be so polite. See if it suits your taste," said Old Madam Sheng with a smile.

"Madam is an elder, you can just call me Yuanruo. You keep calling me 'Young Master,' it's really too much for a junior like me," Qi Heng said with a smile.

"Then I will call you Yuan Ruo."

Grandma Sheng smiled, picked up her chopsticks, casually picked up some food, and gestured for Qi Heng to start eating.

Qi Heng didn't stand on ceremony and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Although the Sheng family lived near the east gate of the inner city, the Duke of Qi's mansion was located in the core area of ​​the inner city, and was not close to the Sheng family.

If I go home for lunch, there won't be much time for a nap.

Therefore, he had lunch at the Sheng family's house.

As the matriarch of the household, Madam Wang occasionally had to entertain the wives of officials or attend banquets.

Therefore, he would have lunch at Shou'an Hall.

Qi Heng ate three bowls of rice. After the meal, he chatted with Old Madam Sheng for a while before taking his leave.

"Grandmother, will Young Master Qi continue to have lunch at Shou'an Hall?" Minglan asked.

Grandma Sheng asked, "Yes, that's how it is for now. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, my granddaughter just finds it a bit inconvenient," Minglan said.

Grandma Sheng said, "You're still young, so it's nothing. We'll see later."

…………

In the blink of an eye, Qi Heng had been studying at the Sheng family for several months, and the weather was gradually getting warmer.

As time went by, I gradually became familiar with Sanlan.

Mo Lan often tried to talk to Qi Heng during breaks under various pretexts, and Ru Lan followed suit.

Whenever Mo Lan tries to talk to Qi Heng, she will come over and try to make things difficult for Mo Lan.

The sisters' subtle rivalry added a touch of fun to their otherwise dull school life.

The two of them changed their way of addressing Qi Heng from "Young Master" to "Brother Yuanruo".

Minglan remained indifferent to him. Although he had lunch at Shou'an Hall every day and should have had more contact with Minglan, the two of them barely spoke to each other except for greeting each other when they met.

Qi Heng felt that the reason why the original Qi Heng liked Minglan was probably because of Minglan's attitude towards him.

A young master from an excellent family background and with outstanding character, he was the brightest star among his peers since childhood.

When I usually meet women of similar age, there aren't many as obviously beautiful as Mo Lan, but there are some.

But there are almost no girls like Minglan who completely ignore him.

Minglan's uniqueness naturally attracted Qi Heng, who was originally her lover.

But the Qi Heng of today is not the original Qi Heng. Having lived two lives, he could not possibly fall for a little girl.

To be honest, he actually found Rulan, who was simple-minded, to be more interesting.

There is a small room on the side of the school, which is Qi Heng's room for his afternoon nap.

That day, Qi Heng woke up from his afternoon nap, and after washing his face with a basin of water, he went to the school.

"Brother Zecheng, why are you here so early today?" Qi Heng asked, somewhat surprised.

"Zhong Huai has sent a letter."

Sheng Changbai took out an unopened letter and handed it to Qi Heng, smiling slightly, "This is for you."

"My second uncle has been gone for several months. Apart from the initial letter that let us know he was safe, he has finally replied to us again." Qi Heng smiled as he accepted the letter.

After Sheng Changbai left the capital, he sent them a letter saying that he had arrived at Bailudong Academy.

Qi Heng and Sheng Changbai wrote him several letters, but received no reply.

"Yes, if he doesn't reply soon, I'll think something has happened to him."

Sheng Changbai said, "When I reply to him later, I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind!"

"He deserves to be scolded!"

Qi Heng nodded in agreement and opened the letter to read it.

The letter was short, inquiring about Qi Heng's recent situation and recounting some interesting stories about himself at Bailudong Academy.

It's clear from his words that Gu Tingye has been in a good mood lately.

Qi Heng guessed that Man Niang had probably already found Gu Tingye by now.

He now somewhat understood why Gu Tingye had been deceived by Man Niang.

Gu Tingye believed that Gu Yankai was responsible for his mother's death, and unable to face him, he chose to run away.

My heart was filled with not only indignation, but also great distress.

Manniang's appearance helped him emerge from his gloom. His gratitude towards Manniang outweighed any romantic feelings.

Gu Tingye's upbringing instilled in him a deep longing for care and attention.

Therefore, Madam Qin treated him well, and he regarded her as his own mother. When Manniang was in the most distress, she accompanied and comforted him.

Therefore, he had complete faith in these two people.

"We'd better work harder!"

Sheng Changbai laughed and said, "Zecheng said in his letter that the Bailudong Academy has a very good academic atmosphere, and he is studying hard. Let's hope he passes the imperial examination before we do!"

"Haha, then we'll wait and see."

Qi Heng wasn't particularly concerned about taking the imperial examinations, but he also didn't intend to just drift through life.

With the fusion of the two souls, and the fact that Qi Heng himself was also very diligent in his studies, he felt that his studies during this period were not too difficult.

Whether or not one passes the exam is irrelevant; being able to personally participate in the imperial examination and experience it firsthand is a rare and valuable experience.

"What made Big Brother and Brother Yuanruo laugh so happily?"

At this moment, Mo Lan walked in, a slight smile on her face, and curtsied.

"It's nothing, Yuan Ruo and I were just chatting," Sheng Changbai said.

Mo Lan didn't pay any attention to what she heard and sat down in her seat.

"Recently, I've been reading Li Bai's poems. Du Fu once praised him in a poem: 'Bai's poetry is unparalleled, his thoughts soaring and extraordinary.' After reading it, I felt that was a bit conservative. Li Bai truly deserves the title of 'banished immortal,' and his poems are completely unlike those of ordinary people."

Mo Lan smiled and asked, "I wonder which of Li Bai's poems Brother Yuanruo likes the most?"

"Actually, what I dislike the most is Li Bai's poetry," Qi Heng said.

"Well…"

Mo Lan's face stiffened upon hearing this.
