Chapter 838 Sheng Family Academy

Li Zhan was chatting with Old Mrs. Sheng in Shou'an Hall, but within half an hour, Sheng Hong, who had just returned home, heard that Li Zhan was coming and arrived at Shou'an Hall after a while.

"Ziqing, what happened today?"

At this time, Sheng Hong was already at the fifth level, and he had been promoted to the first level in just a few months. This was because he was very close to Mr. Lu, the judge of the Ministry of Works. Mr. Lu admired him very much and had to People admire Sheng Hong's official skills.

The judge of the Ministry of Works was a senior official of the second rank. He was the chief official of the Ministry of Works of the Shangshu Province, which was later called the Minister of the Ministry of Works. Even in Bianjing City, he was a high-ranking official and played a very important role. He was in charge of farming and farming. Ministry, Ministry of Water and other matters.

After Li Zhan was promoted to secretary-supervisor, Sheng Hong no longer called Li Zhan Zhan'er, but instead called him Ziqing. Obviously, Li Zhan's change of identity put a certain amount of pressure on Sheng Hong, and he was a little more concerned about Li Zhan, his son-in-law who had risen through the ranks. Be very cautious and don't dare to overdo it.

"Father-in-law, I met Marquis Ningyuan today. He heard that the Sheng family invited Mr. Zhuang to teach in the mansion, so he wanted to ask me to help make arrangements for his second son Gu Tingye to study in the mansion!"

Li Zhan told Sheng Hong how he met Gu Yankai today. Sheng Hong looked a little confused and looked at Mrs. Sheng with a blank look on his face and asked.

"Mother, the martial arts Zi Qing practiced back then were the martial arts inherited from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion? Zi Qing actually worshiped Gu Yankai as his teacher?"

Sheng Hong knew about Li Zhan's martial arts practice at the time, but the specific details were not clear. This matter was handled by Mrs. Sheng, so Sheng Hong didn't know that Li Zhan had this relationship with the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, so he was very worried. Surprised.

"That's a secret that people keep secret. If you don't become a disciple, how could it be passed on to Zhan'er!"

Seeing that Sheng Hong didn't understand, Old Mrs. Sheng became a little angry. Sheng Hong was a thorough scholar and looked down upon warriors. She thought how could a brave warrior be noble, so there was a hint of questioning in her tone, which made Old Mrs. Sheng Noticed.

"But Ningyuan Houfu is a distinguished military general. How can Jiujiu be the master of Zi Qing? If this spreads out, Zi Qing will be embarrassed!"

Sheng Hong's words are not unreasonable. Today's atmosphere is that civil servants are noble and nobles are rich. Both parties can't stand each other. That's why Li Zhan severed the master-disciple relationship with Gu Yankai and changed it to uncle-nephew. This is a good thing for both parties. It's a good thing. Gu Yankai knew this and agreed happily.

"At that time, Zhan'er was seriously ill and almost died. If he hadn't practiced martial arts, how would he have a strong body? How could he continue to study and improve, and be the top pick in high school, so I couldn't care about anything else at the time!"

Old Mrs. Sheng recalled that Li Zhan's serious illness was caused by a sudden fright. At that time, she was also in a hurry and sought medical treatment. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, practicing martial arts with Li Zhan was not a bad thing, so she agreed to Li Zhan's proposal and went to Ning Yuan. The Hou Mansion acquired the martial arts passed down from his family and made many connections.

Sheng Hong was silent when he heard this. Indeed, if Li Zhan had not learned martial arts from Gu Yankai, how would he have a future today? Fortunately, Gu Yankai also has scruples now and agreed to sever the master-disciple relationship with Li Zhan. The two families Nowadays, even if we have contact, we don’t have any scruples.

When Sheng Hong thought of this, he stopped talking about the matter in depth and turned the topic to the Sheng Family Academy. He stroked his short beard under his chin with his palms and pondered for a long time before speaking to Li Zhan with some concern.

"I have heard of Gu Tingye's reputation, and I have met him several times. He is a well-known libertine in Bianjing City. He is ignorant, does evil things, and hangs around in popular places. If he goes to Shengfu Academy, he will ruin the atmosphere. what to do?"

"You also know that I invited Mr. Zhuang to my house in order to help Brother Bai and Brother Feng improve their knowledge, so that they can pass the imperial examination and be named on the gold list!"

Li Zhan looked at Sheng Hong with a worried look on his face and knew clearly that he had high hopes for Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng, hoping that they could become Jinshi in high school. Otherwise, how could he waste this opportunity to establish a relationship with Ningyuan Houfu?

Li Zhan picked up the tea cup next to him, took a sip, put it down gently, and then explained to Sheng Hong who looked worried.

"Father-in-law, please put your heart in my heart. Although Gu Tingye has a bad reputation, I have also met him. He is not as dandy as the outside world has said. Although he is not a perfect person, he is still willing to study and make progress, and he values ​​​​love. Yi is not a person who does evil things, so there is no need to worry about him leading Brother Bai and Brother Feng astray!"

Seeing that Sheng Hong still had concerns, Li Zhan spoke again.

"Besides, I heard that Gu Tingye and Bai Di are good friends. They had a close relationship when they were in Yangzhou. Now I don't see Gu Tingye leading Bai Di astray!"

Sheng Hong nodded. He also knew a little about the relationship between Sheng Changbai and Gu Tingye, which made him very confused. How could the rigid and stubborn eldest son become close friends with the wanton and dandy Gu Tingye.

"In that case, you can bring Gu Tingye here. But I want to make one point first. If he messes around in the school and ruins the atmosphere of the school, I will not obey him!"

Sheng Hong nodded in agreement with Li Zhan's request and said with a stern look on his face at the end. The studies of Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng were the top priority of the Sheng family. No one or anything could delay the future of these two people in the imperial examination. That's why Sheng Hong said this.

Li Zhan nodded and expressed his understanding. Although he believed that Gu Tingye would not act recklessly, he still kept it in mind and planned to talk to Gu Yan about the matter again. He also wanted to meet with Gu Tingye and give him a few words of advice, don't It violated Sheng Hong's taboos and taboos.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I understand that the studies of Brother Bai and Brother Feng are the most important, and everything else must come second to this matter!"

Sheng Hong nodded in agreement. He was most satisfied with Li Zhan. Li Zhan had general knowledge, knew how to advance and retreat, knew what to do, and knew priorities. Whether Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng could become Jinshi was related to the prosperity of the Sheng family for hundreds of years. Nothing else could compare with this. Comparable.

The next day happened to be the day when Li Zhan took a rest. He got up early, had breakfast with Hua Lan waiting on him, and seeing that the time was right, he went to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

"Ziqing, has something come to light?"

After Li Zhan and Gu Yankai met, Gu Yankai couldn't wait to ask Li Zhan about the results.

Li Zhan glanced at the eager Gu Yankai and the marquise Xiao Qin with a gloomy look on her side, nodded and replied.

"I went to the Sheng family last night. My father-in-law has already agreed that Tingye should go to the Sheng family to study. However, he has some concerns, so he said it first. Tingye is in the Gu family school. He is not allowed to mess around. He must study with peace of mind and make progress. If he leads to trouble, He will not tolerate the school atmosphere!"

Gu Yankai nodded, a stern expression appeared on his face, and he said in a cold voice.

"Of course, if the traitor dares to mess around, I will break his legs!"
