Han Ming, who was lying comfortably in his bed, holding a soft and delicate body in his arms and enjoying the warmth of home, was awakened by a loud noise.

Looking at the bewildered Jin Rui and Ju Cao, Han Ming smiled helplessly: "Who is it again?"

"It's the young master from the Lu family!" Ju Cao immediately reported.

"And there's the Sheng family's brother!" Jin Rui added.

Han Ming held his forehead and sighed silently as he looked at the smiling Yu Yanran: "Well, I owe them..."

"Okay~! Let's go and take a look, it's nothing..." Yu Yanran gently pushed Han Ming.

"But when did these two get together?" Han Ming stood up and changed his clothes with the help of Jin Rui and Ju Cao.

"Probably after the second son of the Gu family left Beijing..." Yu Yanran said uncertainly.

"Hmm?" Han Ming blinked, seeming a little uncertain.

"Zhong Huai left Beijing?"

"Yes, this is what Minglan told me. It was about a year ago, just one or two months after you went south, that the second young master Gu left." Yu Yanran nodded.

"Has anything happened to the Sheng family in the year since I left Beijing?" Han Ming still wanted to know if there was anything interesting.

"I don't know much about it, but one of the bigger events was the Fourth Miss Sheng's marriage to the Earl of Yongchang..."

Yu Yanran leaned over and whispered in Han Ming's ear.

"Huh? Still the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion? Nothing's changed?" Han Ming was a little confused. Didn't they say that person had changed his mind and seemed to have learned his lesson? Why did it still fall on Liang Han's head?

"Well, I heard that it was Madam Wu and Young Master Liang Liu who came to propose marriage in person..." Yu Yanran explained.

"I..." Han Ming wanted to curse. What is this? This is such a surprise!

"And not only that, I heard that the Sixth Young Master Liang has been trained by the Fourth Miss Sheng and has turned over a new leaf. He is now studying peacefully and is expected to pass the next imperial examination!"

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..." Han Ming said that the story development was a bit distorted.

"Anything else?" Han Ming calmed himself down and thought it didn't matter, the world was going to crooked anyway.

"Sir, please bow your head."

Yu Yanran seemed to have something to whisper that she didn't want Jin Rui and Ju Cao to hear, so the two of them sensibly retreated to the door.

"That Miss Lin from the Sheng family..."

Han Ming didn't know what expression he had when he came out of the room. He always felt it was incredible, but also felt it was reasonable.

Lin Qinshuang was a person who used her power to bully others. In the past, she relied on Sheng Hong's love to go against the mistress.

Now that there is no conspiracy and the Yuqing Temple "Grand Hotel" incident in the original drama, Molan married into the Liang family cleanly, and this young lady Lin is naturally very proud.

The so-called poisoning is not impossible. After all, Wang Ruofu chose to give it to the old lady even though she knew there was something wrong with the pastry. But in the end, she got into big trouble.

Han Ming would not be surprised by anything shocking happening in the Sheng Mansion.

The only thing I feel is that if Wang Ruofu were in the original drama, this would be considered a tit-for-tat.

However, according to Lin Qinshuang's methods, this matter should not be leaked.

"unless..."

Han Ming thought of a possibility, that is, there was a traitor in Linqi Pavilion.

"It seems like the Sheng family's backyard is really bustling. I wonder who this person is, hehe..."

Han Ming put his hands behind his back and walked towards the front hall while whistling.

Only Yong Zeng behind him did not understand his master's thoughts, and looked at Han Ming, who suddenly felt much better, with some surprise.

Two young men were sitting in the hall, drinking tea silently. They didn't feel embarrassed at all when they saw Han Ming pretending to have a gloomy face.

"Jingyuan!"

"Big brother!"

The two greeted Han Ming with smiles on their faces.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I need to go back to my room to catch up on some sleep!" Han Ming sat down on the chair and said unhappily.

"You are such a person. You have finally come back. I came here specially to see you, but you are still like this. Alas, I am sad. I am leaving." Sheng Changbai said as he stood up and was about to leave.

"Hey hey hey! You're trying to play tricks on me, right?" Han Ming wasn't angry at all, he was just teasing them on purpose, but Sheng Changbai ended up being the better of them.

"Sit down!" Han Ming stood up hurriedly and pressed Sheng Changbai down on the seat.

"Haha, see? I told you that your elder brother wouldn't get angry. He's such a nice guy. How could he do that?" Sheng Changbai smiled and praised Han Ming.

"Don't give me that! If anyone says that you, Sheng Changbai, are a gentleman in front of me, I will definitely spit back." Han Ming picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Sheng Changbai and Lu Haoqing laughed out loud in unison, and the strange feeling among the three of them after not seeing each other for a long time was completely washed away.

"It's just right that you're here, Zecheng. I don't have to go all the way to the Sheng family."

Han Ming called out to Yong Zeng, who immediately ran out of the hall and went to the warehouse.

Sheng Changbai looked puzzled. After a while, Yong Zeng came trotting in with a sandalwood box and handed it to Sheng Changbai.

"It's a pity that I missed your wedding with Miss Hai. This is a specialty I brought back from Jiangxi as a belated gift." Han Ming looked at Sheng Changbai with a smile.

"What kind of person are you!" Sheng Changbai felt warm in his heart and chuckled.

As a result, when he opened it the next second, Sheng Changbai's hand shook and he almost threw the sandalwood box away.

"Is this 'Shadow Celadon'?!"

The so-called shadow blue porcelain, also known as blue-white porcelain, hidden blue, and covered blue, is a type of porcelain that is a transition from white porcelain to celadon.

The glaze is nearly white, with lake green cyan appearing only in the areas where the glaze accumulates. The cyan is barely visible, the body is white and delicate, the wall of the vessel is extremely thin, and it is translucent.

This is a treasure from Jingdezhen, Fuliang County, one of the six major kiln systems of the Song Dynasty.

"Take a closer look!" Han Ming smiled mysteriously.

Sheng Changbai immediately examined it carefully, stroking it and identifying it. After a while, he exclaimed, "What a great gift!"

"This is Yingqing porcelain produced by Hutian Kiln, representing the best craftsmanship."

Sheng Changbai kept watching, looking fascinated, and then suddenly came to his senses.

"You didn't get this thing by taking bribes, did you?!"

Sheng Changbai's words startled Han Ming, who was drinking tea, and he spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Come on, take your things back. My study is just in need of a flower arranger!" Han Ming immediately pointed at Yong Zeng and said.

Seeing Yong Zeng making some movement, Sheng Changbai hurriedly put the porcelain bottle into the sandalwood box and held it in his arms, with an expression that he would never give it to him.

"Okay, okay, I get it, I get it. Why are you so angry?"

"I, Han Ming, am that kind of person in your eyes?!"

Sheng Changbai didn't explain, he just happily held the sandalwood box and smiled awkwardly.

Seeing Han Ming giving Sheng Changbai such a good gift, Lu Haoqing stared at her cousin with a pitiful look.

"Big brother, where's mine?!"

Han Ming held his forehead in silence: "You're not married yet, what gift do you want?!"

"But I have completed the marriage proposal and will be married soon!" Lu Haoqing had a smug expression on his face.

"I wonder how you convinced my aunt." Han Ming was a little curious.

"Why do I need to persuade her? I just asked my mother to come over and visit the Sheng family. When she came back, she agreed to the marriage between the Lu and Sheng families."

Lu Haoqing laughed.

Han Ming looked at Sheng Changbai with a strange expression, and the other party nodded, indicating that what Lu Haoqing said was correct.

"Fifth Miss is so powerful? She can even win over my aunt?" Han Ming really wanted to learn how to read minds and see what these people were thinking.

"Ultimately, we think too much. There are some things that women's intuition and thinking are not that complicated."

Sheng Changbai seemed to be very emotional when he said this.

"So, you are here to tell me the good news and send me invitations?" Han Ming found a comfortable position and leaned back in the chair.

"Not only that, there are also some things happening on Guangnan Road." Sheng Changbai talked about business.

He talked about how Gu Tingye led his troops south to garrison Guangnan Road.

"They may have had ideas, but the timing wasn't right. The Jiangxi campaign has effectively brought out these hidden rebels and brought them down in one fell swoop."

"In the short term, the situation in Guangnan Road won't deteriorate too quickly, but it's indeed a good place for Zhong Huai to gain military merit."

Han Ming stroked the edge of the tea bowl, his expression lost in thought.

"Originally, the government's internal direction was still wavering, but your drastic reforms in Jiangxi were so rapid that you straightened things out in just one year."

"That's why we agreed to station troops in Guangnan Road to prevent Jiangxi from being attacked again by the rebels."

Sheng Changbai felt that these things would allow Han Ming to better assess the situation within the court.

"Given the current situation in Jiangxi, as long as normal progress is made, it will become a major tax collection area for Jiangnan Road. If the imperial court maintains stability, it will prevent a second rebellion in the area."

"Besides, I know the abilities of Cai Ting and Zeng Fengxian. No matter what happens again, it can be easily resolved." Han Ming took a sip of tea and felt very relaxed.

"Since you have a backup plan, we feel relieved. We will celebrate for you after the court meeting in a few days!" Sheng Changbai said with a smile.

"Well, this time your Sheng family has taken advantage of my silly brother!" Han Ming teased Sheng Changbai and Lu Haoqing.

Hearing this, Sheng Changbai felt somewhat relieved, but Lu Haoqing blushed slightly and felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the beauty.

"I have gifts, and I'm sure you'll have some on your wedding day. Just remember this: no matter what happens after marriage, focus on your studies!"

Unlike Han Ming, people like Lu Haoqing and Liang Han have not yet participated in the imperial examination. However, according to the three-yearly examination, the sixth year of Jiayou will be the time for them to come to the fore.

"Yes, I will remember your teachings, big brother!" Lu Haoqing bowed.

"When the time comes, we will all be serving in the same dynasty!" Sheng Changbai said with some excitement.

"Hahaha...."

The three of them seemed to be able to vaguely imagine this day in the future.
