On the way, Minglan said: "Thank you very much for today, otherwise our family might not even be able to sleep well."

After hearing this, Li Hao smiled and replied: "It's not necessarily true that I saw it. The old lady may have already made up her mind. As for my cousin, I think my cousin is resolute and courageous, with a restrained edge, so she will not be intimidated by such a scene.

"

After hearing this, Minglan stopped and looked at Li Hao with some surprise. Li Hao also looked at Minglan silently. After an unknown amount of time, Minglan smiled lightly and said, "My cousin is

How can I tell? Even I don’t know that I am such a person.”

After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "That means my cousin doesn't have a comprehensive understanding of herself."

"Really?" Minglan said lightly, and then stopped talking. The two of them walked silently to the courtyard door. After Minglan sent Li Hao to the car and returned home, he looked at the direction the carriage left for a while.

Turn around and go home.

After Li Hao went home all the way, he saw that he had nothing to do, so he started playing with bows and arrows. It must be said that Li Hao did have some talent in martial arts. He didn't know how good he was in other things without trying it on the field. But with archery,

Not to mention that he could hit the target with a hundred steps, but he could definitely hit the bull's eye even from thirty steps away. Li Hao practiced for a while and then went back to his room to rest when he got tired.

After waiting for two days, Li Hao was eating breakfast at home when someone came to report that it was Sheng Changbai who came to the house with gifts.

Li Hao asked the general to lead him to the main hall. He hurriedly filled his stomach a few times, then asked people to collect his things, and then went to the main hall.

By the time Li Hao arrived, Sheng Changbai had already sat down in the main hall. Li Hao went in and said, "Cousin Changbai, why are you here today? Why are you bringing gifts?"

After hearing this, Sheng Changbai replied: "I have been looking for news outside the house the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect you to come here. I have to thank you for helping my family a lot. The gifts you brought were all specially prepared by my mother for me to send. In addition, my father

He also said he would come over in person to thank you later."

Li Hao hurriedly said: "How can this be so? This is what I should do. Moreover, my uncle is an elder, so there is no reason for me to go and see the elders. There is no reason for the elders to come and see me." After a pause, he continued:

"Let's do this. I'll go to Sheng Mansion with you later to visit my uncle, and I won't have to make this trip to my uncle."

After hearing this, Sheng Changbai thought for a while and said, "That's fine, then we have to go back quickly, otherwise we will easily miss it when my father sets off."

Li Hao said: "Okay, let's set off now. You and I will go there in a carriage and let my carriage follow behind."

On the way to the Sheng Mansion, Li Hao roughly heard from Sheng Changbai the details of what happened in the past two days. For example, the housekeeper's power was still handed over to Minglan, and Sheng Changfeng was beaten with dozens of canes and is now bedridden.

However, Li Hao thought about it after hearing this. Since he had been beaten once, he might as well give Sheng Changfeng another beating and settle the matter of being betrayed by him last time, so that Sheng Changfeng could be beaten twice.

Recover, otherwise it will be troublesome to lie down twice.

After waiting for Sheng Mansion, Li Hao followed Sheng Changbai into the main hall. After sitting for a while, Sheng Changbai was called away by the maid in his courtyard, leaving Li Hao alone waiting in the hall. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Sheng Hong to meet Mrs. Wang.

Came together.

Li Hao greeted the two of them and was motioned to sit down. Sheng Hong said, "I have to thank Brother Hao for helping me inquire the day before yesterday, otherwise my house would not have settled down so quickly." After that, he looked at Wang Da.

A look at the lady.

After Li Hao noticed it, he thought of Lin Xiaoniang and Mrs. Wang's mutual quarrel. He suppressed a smile and said, "Uncle, you are too polite. In fact, I didn't help much. I just asked for news."

Sheng Hong said: "This has been of great help. Originally, I planned to go to your house today to thank you, but unexpectedly you came over by yourself."

Li Hao said: "I heard from cousin Changbai, but you are the elder, I should always visit you, and you should not be allowed to go to me. This doesn't make sense."

"This is nothing, but since you are here today, take the gifts you prepared with you when you leave." Sheng Hong said after hearing this.

Li Hao refused and said: "Uncle, this is too polite. There is no need to be like this."

Sheng Hong said: "Etiquette must be followed. If you don't take it away today, I will have to go to your door to deliver it in person."

Li Hao had no choice but to say: "Thank you very much, uncle."

Seeing that Li Hao agreed, Sheng Hong said, "That's how it should be." Then Sheng Hong mentioned the sad experience of being detained in the palace, talked about how he was tired of Sheng Changfeng's drunken nonsense, and warned Li Hao in the future. As an official, you need to be cautious in your words and deeds.

Li Hao, who happened to find an opportunity at this time, pretended to be slightly hesitant and said: "There is something I didn't plan to say, but now that the situation is happening, I think it would be better to talk to my uncle."

Sheng Hong asked curiously: "What's the matter? Don't hesitate, just say it."

"After the examination, didn't some non-sergeants get together and cause trouble? Senior Brother Zeng and I were also involved. In fact, after thinking about Senior Brother Zeng, many people knew about it. This is not surprising. But I only went to Ouyang Xueshi's Mansion. Before Bachelor Ouyang was promoted to be the examiner of the general examination, and he basically went there alone, not many people knew about it, and even fewer people knew that Senior Brother Zeng and the others lived in my house." Haoden Li said. Then he continued:

"But those scholars reacted very quickly. If Brother Changbai hadn't learned from Gu Tingye and hurriedly came to inform us, we might have been blocked by those people at that time. Therefore, I'm worried that it was done by someone with ulterior motives who wanted to use this to trap us. Academician Ouyang and the others, so even though things calmed down afterwards, they still sent people to investigate."

"The result..." Li Hao pretended to be hesitant and said nothing.

Then Mrs. Wang answered: "What's the result? Tell me quickly."

After hearing this, Li Hao continued: "As a result, I found out that cousin Chang Feng was also involved, and the relationship between Senior Brother Zeng and me and Academician Ouyang was what cousin Chang Feng said. Of course, I believe cousin Chang Feng There must have been no malice, but he just blurted it out without careful consideration. I thought he just failed the exam and acted inappropriately, so I didn't tell anyone."

"But today I heard that my uncle was also detained in the palace because of cousin Changfeng's drunken remarks, so I thought of telling my uncle."

After hearing this, Sheng Hong's expression immediately changed and he said, "Okay, I just thought he was drunk and confused for a while, talking nonsense. I didn't expect that he was a repeat offender who refused to change."

Li Hao persuaded him at this time: "Actually, this is not a big deal, but I feel that cousin Chang Feng will always become an official in the future. If he makes such a mistake in the officialdom, it will inevitably bring harm to himself and even endanger him. Family, that’s why I wanted to talk to my uncle today, please don’t blame me for talking too much.”

After hearing this, Sheng Hong said: "What you said is for the good of my Sheng family. I should thank you. It seems that I was too indulgent towards him in the past. Today I have to make him understand what a disaster is." The truth comes from the mouth.”

Then Sheng Hong said: "You are here today. You haven't visited the old lady yet."

Li Hao said: "Not yet. I just came here directly with Brother Changbai. I will go to Shou'an Hall to see the old lady later."

Sheng Hong said with a smile: "Okay, then you might as well go now and let the lady take you there. I have something to do later, so I won't accompany you." After that, he left and hurried to the backyard. .

After seeing this, Mrs. Wang stood up and said with a smile: "Then I'll go to Shou'antang with you."
