Chapter 845 The Sheng Mansion is embarrassed

Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of his eldest wife's struggles these days. He pressed his eyebrows and said with some distress.

"Your mother-in-law is absolutely crazy about Changbai's studies. She goes everywhere to pray to Buddha, trying to get a blessing for Changbai!"

Li Zhan thought about what Wang Ruofu did in his daily life, shook his head and smiled, and then spoke frankly to Sheng Hong.

"Changbai is diligent and studious, works hard, and has a solid academic background. It's obvious that he has put in the hard work. He will definitely be on the list this time, and he will be a Jinshi!"

Li Zhan paused and glanced at Sheng Hong, who was looking happy. He was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to comment on Sheng Changfeng.

Sheng Hong was also an expert at observing words and expressions. One look at Li Zhan's face and he knew that Sheng Changfeng might have a slim chance, but he still urged him.

"Ziqing, please speak out!"

Li Zhan saw that although Sheng Hong was a little disappointed, he was not nervous. He must also be aware of Sheng Changfeng's academic level, so he spoke.

"Chang Feng is frivolous and has an impure mind. He has not used it in his studies. I'm afraid there is no hope for him now!"

Li Zhan said this in a restrained manner. According to his opinion, Sheng Changfeng's academic performance at this time was simply in shambles. If he hadn't already been a famous scholar, Li Zhan doubted whether he could pass the examination. It seemed that he was from Bianjing. Sheng Changfeng was dazzled by prosperity and wealth, causing him to neglect his studies.

Sheng Hong sighed. He had actually seen Sheng Changfeng's performance just now, but he was partial to Sheng Changfeng. He was still holding on to luck, hoping to hear a different answer from Li Zhan.

"Chang Feng is spoiled by his little mother. He spends the whole day drinking and having fun with his friends. His mind is no longer on the imperial examination. We can only wait for him to fail this time and calm down before supervising his studies!"

Li Zhan nodded and expressed his agreement. Sheng Changfeng's personality at this time was too out of the ordinary. He was not doing academic work. Even when he was studying for the imperial examination, he studied hard every day, wrote non-stop, and never let go of the scroll. How could he be like Sheng Changfeng? Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.

Weng and his son-in-law finished evaluating the studies of Changbai and Changfeng in the study, and talked about the government affairs. When they came out, they met Wang Ruofu's mother Liu who came to report.

"My lord, my young master, the eldest lady from Yongchang Earl's Palace is here to visit. The eldest lady asked me to invite you two to come and entertain the guests!"

Sheng Hong and Li Zhan looked at each other, a little surprised. They didn't know why the eldest lady of Yongchang Earl's Palace was here, but since she was already here, she naturally needed to go and greet her, otherwise it would be too rude.

The two came to the front hall, and after greeting the countess, they sat down. Sheng Hong sat on the main seat. Li Zhan stood on the left side of Sheng Hong and looked at the countess, who was smiling happily, and the count's palace. Liang Han, the youngest Liulang in the family.

Wang Ruofu had already asked Liu's mother to notify Ru Lan and ask her to dress up. Now that the daughters in the family have reached the age of looking after others, Wang Ruofu hopes that his youngest daughter can marry a good family, so he is very interested in the Earl's wife. The arrival was very enthusiastic.

Who would have thought that the eldest wife of the Earl of Yongchang just asked Sheng Hong to call Sheng Changbai and get to know her, but she had no intention of meeting the girl from the Sheng Mansion.

Qi Heng was also in the front hall at this time. He was the younger prince-in-law of Qi Guogong and an old acquaintance with the Earl of Yongchang, so even though Sheng Changbai had retired, he still stayed here to reminisce with the Earl's wife.

Li Zhan was quietly listening to several people talking about boring content. He was not interested at all. He even yawned out of boredom, which attracted everyone's attention.

The countess looked at Li Zhan with pity and regret. When Li Zhan won the lottery, she happened to have a daughter of the right age in her house. She originally wanted to marry Li Zhan, but she never thought that Li Zhan would go back to Yangzhou and marry her. The eldest girl of the Sheng family got married.

"Master Li, haven't you had a good rest?"

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, then he quickly looked serious and replied with a serious face.

"As Madam thought, I had some business to handle last night and I hadn't rested yet, so I was a little tired. Madam, you are laughing!"

The earl's wife glanced at her son beside her, and then at Li Zhan, who was not much older than Liang Han. She sighed more and more in her heart and smiled.

"Master Li is currently busy with matters at the Yushitai. Naturally, he is busy with official duties, which is different from my incompetent family!"

As the countess spoke, she glared at her son fiercely. Liang Han glanced at Li Zhan innocently and had to admire Li Zhan. He was still relying on the honor of his ancestors to become a low-ranking official in the palace. And Li Zhan is already a third-rank official, wearing a purple robe and a goldfish bag. There is no way he can compare with him. Even the young master Qi Heng at this time can't compare with Li Zhan.

Li Zhan raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully. Hearing a faint movement, he remained unmoved and exchanged greetings with the countess.

Li Zhan is highly skilled in martial arts and has sharp ears and eyesight. He is naturally aware of what is going on behind the screen. Hearing his direct wife and sister arguing with Sheng Molan like a fool, looking like a carbon copy of Wang Ruofu and Lin Sushuang, he can't help but feel... He cast his eyes on Sheng Hong, who was sitting on the throne, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Sheng Hong naturally saw Li Zhan's strange gaze. Just when he was wondering why, Ru Lan's voice suddenly came from behind the screen. Sheng Hong's face darkened and he was about to get angry.

Seeing that Rulan had alarmed everyone in the front hall, Sheng Molan immediately took two steps back, reached out and pushed Rulan and Minglan out, directly crushing the screen.

Everyone's eyes turned to the screen, and they saw Ru Lan and Ming Lan who had fallen to the ground, and Sheng Molan who was already standing behind them with an innocent face like a white lotus.

Li Zhan looked at everyone calmly. Sheng Hong's face was red and angry. Wang Ruofu was worried and looked worriedly at Ru Lan who was lying on the ground. Not to mention Ru Lan and Ming Lan, their faces were full of fear. , looked at everyone timidly, Mo Lan's eyes flashed with a trace of resentment and joy of watching a good show, while the Earl's wife and Liang Han were shocked by the sudden change, but there was a trace of contempt and ridicule in their eyes.

But Qi Heng only had Sheng Minglan in his eyes, showing a trace of concern and worry, and he would go to help her as soon as her footsteps moved.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhan stood up directly, took the lead, walked to Ru Lan and Ming Lan, helped them up, then turned to the countess and said.

"My sister-in-law is naughty and makes my eldest wife laugh!"

The countess looked at Li Zhan, who had a calm face, and did not dare to be careless. Remembering the other party's identity, she did not dare to laugh at the joke, so she could only say goodbye.

"You're welcome, Mr. Li. I have some chores in the house today, so I'll take my leave now!"

Sheng Hong and Li Zhan sent them out of the front hall together, and then turned back. Qi Heng was still there in the front hall. Li Zhan frowned and said rudely to Qi Heng.

"Young Master, is there anything else?"

Qi Heng glanced at Sheng Hong, who had a dark face, and Li Zhan, who clearly didn't want to stay here, and said goodbye.
