Lin Qinshuang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Sheng Hong leave. She first pulled open his clothes and checked Chang Feng's body.

After all, Sheng Changfeng was already quite old, and being stripped of clothes by his mother made her feel very uncomfortable. He quickly refused and said, "Mom, I'm fine. When Dad kicked me, I used my arms to protect him."

Lin Qinshuang looked carefully and found that there was no big problem. Then she pinched Chang Feng a few times and said dissatisfiedly, "You damn child, you are courting death in broad daylight! Hurry up and put on your clothes and come out in a while."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly left the courtyard and headed towards the main hall of Linqi Pavilion.

She hasn't realized where the problem lies, but she thinks it's not a big deal. She just needs to use some tricks, and she is very confident in this regard.

Sheng Hong was angry in the main hall when Molan Wenxun came over. She looked at her angry father and pretended to be scared and asked, "Dad, what's going on here?"

Of course Sheng Hong couldn't tell his daughter, so her brother Bai Ri Xuan Yin suppressed his anger and said seriously, "I have already decided that you will go to Lan Garden to study with Madam Kong, but this was originally invited by your grandmother for Minglan. You three should follow her and not cause trouble for her."

After hearing this, Molan was very unhappy, but she did not show it. She just said very obediently, "Don't worry, Daddy. I just want to learn more rules so that I can bring honor to our family in the future."

Sheng Hong felt relieved when she saw how well behaved Mo Lan was. She said sternly, "Don't learn from your brother. He is becoming less and less capable now!"

Just at this time, Lin Qinshuang rushed over. After hearing what Sheng Hong said, she pretended to be very aggrieved and said, "Honglang, I have already scolded Feng'er well just now. I will send Ke'er Mei'er away another day and will never let him mess around again."

In fact, when Sheng Hong went to Chang Feng's room, Lin Qinshuang knew something had happened. She called Molan over first, just like she did in the past, and then she came over to persuade them. This trick worked many times, and every time it made Sheng Hong no longer angry.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Sheng Hong said angrily, "You are too pampering him. You should be stricter with him in the future. And he is so young, why does he have so many maids around him? Change them all to men."

He paused for a moment, then changed his words and said, "Find me some ugly ones, and don't let them affect his studies. You have to know that the imperial examination is about to begin. If he continues to be like this, it will be a pipe dream for him to pass the exam!"

Seeing what Sheng Hong said, Lin Qinshuang knew why Sheng Hong was so angry. She also felt that she had to be strict, so she nodded and said firmly, "Husband, don't worry. If Feng Er dares to do anything wrong again, I will break his legs without you having to do anything."

Chapter 197: Grandma Kong’s small classroom is open!

Sheng Hong really wanted to say that Lin Qinshuang might not be able to do it, but he had no way to arrange Chang Feng to go somewhere else.

He hesitated for a moment, then said sternly, "From today on, Mr. Zhuang will have to teach me the lessons he assigned me every day! If there is any mistake, beware of his lackeys!"

Lin Qinshuang nodded quickly and said excitedly, "Honglang, if you are worried, ask Dongrong to come and take Feng'er over tomorrow."

Sheng Hong felt relieved when he heard Lin Qinshuang say this, and then he told Lin Qinshuang about Nanny Kong's course.

Sheng Family, Wei Rui Xuan, Changbai Courtyard

When Changbai saw Wang Yue coming, he complained, "Cousin, why are you so slow?"

Wang Yue sat on a chair and drank a cup of tea, then said unhappily, "I went to see Minglan first, and when I was about to come over, I ran into your father. You can't blame me for this."

After hearing this, Sheng Changbai said unhappily, "Don't scare me with my father. I'm not that kid Changfeng. So, isn't it time for Zhong Huai to come back?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said calmly, "I'm afraid he won't come back. He listened to my advice and is going to Yangzhou to take the exam, so you don't have to worry about it. He can't come back now."

Sheng Changbai said incredulously, "How is that possible? Is he really going to take the exam in the name of the Bai family?"

Wang Yue nodded and said seriously, "Zhong Huai hasn't been back for two or three years, but there are still rumors in the capital that he is looking for women from time to time. Do you think this is normal?"

Sheng Changbai opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. This Gu family was really too weird.

The Gu family's eldest son has such a bad reputation, and not only does no one help to cover it up, but it seems that there are always people helping to maintain it, as if they are afraid that someone will forget that Gu Tingye is a playboy.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked anxiously, "I'm afraid this is not a good idea. What if he encounters problems during the imperial examination?"

Wang Yue had thought about it long ago, and said calmly, "I have already discussed this with Zhong Huai. He told the public that he was ready to inherit the Bai family. His grandfather's family has already lost the inheritance. Even from the perspective of filial piety, there is nothing wrong with Zhong Huai doing this.

After all, the Bai family only has one daughter, but the Gu family has three children, and all three are legitimate sons."

Sheng Changbai frowned and said uncertainly, "But if Lord Gu knew about this, I'm afraid it would be difficult to resolve this matter."

Wang Yue nodded and said solemnly, "Of course I understand. That's why this matter must be kept secret. I have already made arrangements and taught him a simple disguise technique to make him look different from before. Even his father would doubt if this was his son if he stood in front of him."

Sheng Changbai was relieved to see Wang Yue's careful arrangements. He said happily, "As long as Zhong Huai doesn't want such a title, this is indeed quite appropriate."

Of course, Wang Yue and Gu Tingye’s plan was not that simple. He also asked Gu Tingye to arrange many famous doctors and hired them to come to the capital from all over the place to treat his elder brother.

These are all famous doctors from all over the place. Although they may not be able to really cure Gu Tingye’s elder brother, they can at least help Gu Tingye accumulate fame, and at least leave a reputation of caring for his brother in front of Gu Tingye’s father.

According to the information Wang Yue received, Lord Gu now has a much better impression of his son, and he would even say a few good words for his son when he goes out to drink with others from time to time.

Therefore, the legend about Gu Tingye in the capital now has become that he is a playboy who loves his brothers and younger brothers. He is so much better than before.

Anyway, Gu Tingye is very satisfied with this arrangement now. He thinks that as long as his reputation can be restored, it will be fine. However, he does not know the deeper meaning of Wang Yue.

Once Gu Tingye's elder brother recovers, or can live another ten years, the Gu family will become very lively in the future.

Lord Gu is getting older and older. Just like the current emperor, he will sooner or later appoint a Prince of Ningyuan. As long as Gu Tingye’s elder brother is still alive by then, this Prince will definitely be Gu Tingye’s elder brother.

This stepmother who cooperates well with Brother Gu Tingye, although she is Brother Gu Tingye's aunt, may not give up the title, and may also have a falling out.

After all, there can only be one prince in the marquis's mansion!

……

Although Old Lady Sheng asked Madam Kong to teach several girls in the old house, she did not make things difficult for Sheng Hong. She arranged for Madam Kong to live in that courtyard and planned to take Dong Ge back to Shou'an Hall of the Sheng family to live, thus saving Sheng Hong's face.

Although she was just moving to a new place, as a junior, especially Minglan's fiancé, Wang Yue still had to accompany her.

Fu'an Hall

Seeing Old Lady Sheng moving back home, Madam Kong complained, "I wonder where your straightforwardness has gone. Why are you so hesitant now? Since you've already moved out, why do you want to move back home?"

Wang Yue knew that the old lady was considering Changdong. After all, Changdong had to go to Sheng's house to attend classes, and it was too tiring for a child to walk through the streets and alleys. It would be better for him to sleep more during this time.

He smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Madame Kong, the old lady is doing this for your sake. Now that she is gone, you have the final say in this courtyard. If any girl is disobedient, you can just beat and scold her, and don't have to consider the old lady's face."

Minglan heard Wang Yue's words and understood his meaning. She immediately responded, "Madame Kong, I think you should open a women's training class here like Mr. Zhuang did. I think other noble ladies will follow you to learn, but it is not convenient for them to come to my house to study."

Wang Yue waited for Minglan to speak before persuading her again, "Madame Kong, you just tried to persuade the old lady. You don't have many friends back home, so you might as well stay here with the old lady. If you are worried about having no one to take care of you when you are old, why not adopt two children and raise them so you don't have to go back and have to look after other people's faces?"

Old Madam Sheng understood that Wang Yue wanted Madam Kong to stay and be Minglan's helper. She agreed in her heart and said with a smile, "I have a small farm in the suburbs of Beijing. If you are willing to stay, I will give you this farm to live with. What do you think?"

Kong Mama originally planned to return home to live with her nephews, but after seeing the sincere invitation from Old Lady Sheng, Wang Yue and Minglan, she changed her mind. She felt that living in the familiar Tokyo City seemed to be not bad. She was also a straightforward person, so she smiled and said, "In that case, give me Xiao Tao who is beside Ming girl. I wonder if Sixth Miss is willing."

When Minglan heard this, she felt a little reluctant, but she thought this was also a way out for Xiaotao, so she suppressed her emotions and said with a smile, "It is a blessing for Xiaotao that Madam Kong likes her. Of course I am willing, but Xiaotao, Xiaotao..."

When Madam Kong saw that Minglan was really willing to give up Xiaotao, she saw Minglan's sincerity and truly agreed to stay.

She smiled and said, "You mean Xiao Tao is stupid, right? That's exactly why I like her. If she's too smart, I'd be worried!"

Seeing that Madam Kong had made up her mind, Minglan pulled Xiaotao from behind and gently pushed her to Madam Kong's side, saying with a smile, "Since Madam Kong is satisfied, let her follow you from today. I will send her indenture contract over later."

She was not joking. Xiaotao's indenture had indeed been given to Minglan when she was adopted by Sheng Zong.

Xiao Tao was so confused that she didn't know that her fate had changed like this. Her cheeks were bulging with food, like a little squirrel. She looked at everyone in a silly way with a bit of panic in her eyes.

She didn't know why the young lady sent her to someone else, but she didn't dare to say it. She just saw that she stopped chewing, so she knew she was in a bad mood.

Madam Kong was very happy to see this, so she smiled and said, "Sell your indenture to me, and I will stay with you. You two have been together for so many years, and I think it will be hard for you to separate."

After hearing this, Xiao Tao nodded quickly. Her excited look made everyone in the room laugh.

After the matter was settled, the old lady returned to Shou'an Hall that day, while Minglan stayed in Lanyuan. However, she only stayed in a courtyard in the back house. The entire Lanyuan was completely managed by Nanny Kong, and she had the final say on all matters.

After Kong Madam's class started, Yu Yanran was indeed sent here by Yu Ge Lao and arranged to live in the courtyard next to Minglan. After hearing that both of them lived here, Madam Shengda was smart enough to send Rulan here as well, and of course, Molan as well.

At this point, there were four students in Grandma Kong’s small classroom, and this was just the beginning.

In the fifth year of Jiayou, the first month

Old Lady Wang and Wang Yue came to the Sheng family to pay New Year's greetings. When Old Lady Sheng saw Wang Yue coming, she called Minglan over and asked the unmarried couple to have a chat.

After all, they were an engaged couple, so of course they had to avoid other pedestrians when walking together. However, they didn't expect that only people shared the same thoughts as them.

The two of them walked along the corridor, but before they reached the garden, they heard footsteps ahead, but it was too late to avoid them.

Not knowing whether the person coming was a man or a woman, Minglan felt a little anxious. Could it be that she had to run away with Wang Yue?

Wang Yue saw Minglan's anxious look, so he smiled and comforted her, "What are you afraid of? The people who came to our house this time are all relatives. You've probably met them all. What's more, I'm here."

Seeing Wang Yue say this, Minglan felt relieved and followed Wang Yue. She stood in a pavilion, waiting for someone to come.

Not long after, a girl and several maids came towards this direction.

When Minglan saw the girl, she felt relieved. She said in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Yanran, why did you come here at this time? And you didn't send anyone to tell me?"

Chapter 198: Somewhat familiar!

Yu Yanran saw that Minglan was obviously a little shy. Of course, she knew that it was because she had ruined Minglan's date with her fiancé. She first bowed to Wang Yue to express her apology, and then teased Minglan and said, "Minglan, you make me so sad. As soon as I arrived at your house, I was anxious to come and play with you, but you despised me. Sigh."

Yu Yanran was not originally the type of person who could say such things, but she and Minglan had studied with Madam Kong for such a long time, and the relationship between them had become better and better, like good girlfriends.

In addition, she often ran into Wang Yue and Minglan dating. She was very nervous at first, but gradually got used to it, so talking to them became much more natural.

Minglan glanced at Wang Yue secretly. Seeing that Wang Yue was a little helpless but not angry, she quickly stepped forward and took Yu Yanran's arm, pretending to be angry and said, "When did you learn to be so unforgiving? I was just nagging you."

Yu Yanran heard Minglan still talking about her, so she asked excitedly, "What are you talking about me? Tell me quickly, is it good or bad?"

Minglan was originally trying to hold Yanran back, so she quickly blinked and said, "Of course it's a good thing! That's right, the wild goose I used for engagement gave birth to a few little wild geese. Do you want to go and see?"

Yu Yanran's attention was diverted after hearing this. She said in disbelief, "Really? This is the first time I've heard of this."

Minglan's face also turned red, and she said a little embarrassedly, "It's been a long time, hasn't it? She has given birth to several litters."

After hearing this, Yu Yanran still didn't understand and said, "But I heard that other families eat it right after they're done."

Minglan glanced at Wang Yue and said a little embarrassedly, "I was a little reluctant at the time, so I insisted on keeping them, so Yuelang went to catch two more and put them in the pot."

Yu Yanran knew that Minglan would not lie to her about this matter, so she said excitedly, "Where is it? Take me to see it."

"Sixth sister, in the middle of winter, you have wild geese here? Can I take a look?"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked and saw Qi Heng from the Duke of Qi's Mansion, who happened to walk over at this time, followed by his servant Buwei.

After he came over, he saw that everyone was looking at him, so he quickly apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't know where my handkerchief fell, so I hurried over to look for it, but I didn't expect that Sixth Sister and Miss Yanran happened to be in Dayan and wanted to come and see what was going on."

Of course, Wang Yue would not let Qi Heng follow Minglan to see wild geese, so he interrupted with a smile, "Young Master, you should find your handkerchief first. If you want to see animals, you can come to my place."

After hearing what Wang Yue said, Qi Heng suddenly remembered that his sixth sister was already engaged, and it would be inappropriate for him to go there like this.

He felt a little regretful, so he smiled and said, "Wang Hanlin is right. I will definitely visit you another day. I really want to know how the wild geese are kept alive in the winter. I have no other intentions. However, I really need to find the handkerchief today. I would like to ask Sixth Sister to help me find it."

Minglan understood what Qi Heng meant. She smiled and said, "I will send someone to inform the Madam right away. As long as the handkerchief was lost in our Sheng Mansion, we will definitely help you find it back."

Qi Heng bowed to Minglan and said simply, "Thank you, Sixth Sister!"

Minglan returned the greeting, turned around and left with Yanran. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were obviously hiding with their grandmother again.

After Minglan left, Wang Yue glanced at Qi Heng and said helplessly, "In that case, young master, come with me to the front hall?"

Qi Heng knew that he had disturbed others, so he apologized and said, "It's my fault, but this handkerchief is very important. If someone uses it to make a fuss, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to explain myself clearly."

Wang Yue shook his head and said disapprovingly, "If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be true. However, if it were the young master, I'm afraid the impact wouldn't be that big."

Seeing Wang Yue say this, Qi Heng asked with some displeasure, "Why did Lord Hanlin say that?"

Wang Yue looked at Qi Heng's indignant expression and said helplessly, "Everyone in the capital knows how powerful Princess Pingning is. You just need to tell my uncle about this. My uncle doesn't want his daughter to be someone else's concubine, so he will definitely help you get the handkerchief back."

Qi Heng heard the hidden meaning in Wang Yue's words, thought about it carefully, and then said in astonishment, "What does Lord Hanlin mean?"

Wang Yue quickly waved his hands and said firmly, "I didn't mean anything. I just reminded you, I didn't mean anything else.

There are only three girls in the Sheng family. If she wants to marry into your family, she must at least be a legitimate daughter.

But Minglan is already engaged to me, and will certainly not have any involvement with other men. Rulan has a more honest and straightforward personality, and is somewhat self-aware, so she would never consider marrying into your family.

You said that after getting rid of those two, no matter which maid picked it up, my uncle would definitely beat her to death and would definitely not let them ruin your reputation and involve the daughter of the Sheng family.

So, you didn't have to go looking for it in such a big way. It wasn't a big deal. Am I right?"

Wang Yue's words were very clear. Qi Heng bowed to Wang Yue and said admiringly, "Master Hanlin is indeed very thoughtful. Qi Heng has learned a lot! Then why did you let Sixth Sister go to inform Madam Sheng?"

As Wang Yue walked out, he said with disdain, "You are on guard against other women, so of course I have to be on guard against you. I have to get rid of Miss Minglan and Miss Yanran first, and then let you do whatever you want."

After hearing this, Qi Heng couldn't help but look at Wang Yue in surprise. He didn't expect Wang Yue to be such a person.

Although he was somewhat surprised, he still thought of another reason why he came today, so he quickly caught up with Wang Yue and asked, "Master Hanlin, I remember that the Su family's father and son are about to return to Beijing?"

Wang Yue nodded and asked in confusion, "Yeah, how do you know I have connections with them? And if you don't mind, you can follow Changbai and call me cousin."

Qi Heng smiled awkwardly, and then quickly said, "Of course I am willing. Cousin, please don't joke with me. Everyone in the Song Dynasty knows that you wrote two poems with Su Shi and Su Zhe when you were drunk."

Wang Yue's forehead was dark. He didn't expect that everyone was still thinking about this. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "I have received their letter. According to the itinerary, they will arrive in Kyoto in about ten days."

Qi Heng's eyes lit up after hearing Wang Yue's words. He said excitedly, "Really? I thought they wouldn't come until at least February or March, but now it seems they'll be here in early February."

In fact, the reason why the Su family's father and son came so quickly was because of Wang Yue.
