Chapter 155 High School
"Brother, brother... here, here, you've graduated from high school, you've graduated from high school--!"
The shouts of the Sheng family servant brightened the eyes of the people who were watching the excitement. They all looked at the young man in white clothes who was looking around anxiously.
Hearing this voice, Sheng Changfeng immediately understood and a look of joy appeared on his face, but he did not dare to show it too much.
First, the incident of speaking out of turn that year taught him a huge lesson.
Secondly, after being married for many years, under the guidance and support of Mrs. Liu, he knew that one should not be too arrogant, especially for a family of officials like them who were always under the attention of others.
Therefore, Sheng Changfeng unknowingly developed the skill of not showing his emotions on his face, and his temperament was also tempered to be somewhat cautious.
"Everyone, I'll go take a look first, so I can feel at ease."
Sheng Changfeng clasped his fists and bowed slightly to his two brothers-in-law, then couldn't wait to come to the anxious servant of the Sheng family.
Following the direction of the other person's finger, I saw my name printed on a piece of paper on the tall wall.
"18th place, Sheng Changfeng, courtesy name..."
The moment he saw his name, Sheng Changfeng's heart, which had been suppressed for many years, became restless again, and he didn't even hear the compliments and congratulations from the people around him.
He just kept mumbling to himself: "I won... I won... I finally won..."
In addition, the first person that came to Sheng Changfeng's mind was the face of his mother Lin Qinshuang, who had passed away many years ago.
"Mother...if you were still alive...would you be happy for your child?"
"Mother...my son has finally graduated from high school. You don't have to worry about me anymore..."
After thinking for a long time, Sheng Changfeng seemed to make up his mind and turned to leave the crowd.
But it seemed that the noisy crowd was reluctant to see him go, and they all asked with smiles where he came from and whether he was ready for marriage.
As for these people, Sheng Changfeng smiled slightly and said that he was already married and they didn't need to bother anymore.
Then Sheng Changfeng left the crowd with joy and walked towards the woman standing in the corner of the street.
That was his wife, Liu, who had been supporting and encouraging him all these years.
"My lady..."
Sheng Changfeng walked slowly over, took Liu's slightly slender hand, and then, under the other's slightly caring gaze, said the words he had prepared many years ago.
"I graduated from high school! I finally lived up to my wife's expectations."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu's not-so-pretty face showed an expression of tears of joy for the first time.
"Okay! Okay!"
"As expected of my husband, I knew he was a man of great wisdom and strategy, no less capable than anyone else!"
Liu held Sheng Changfeng's hands tightly, tears slowly streaming down her face.
The two of them smiled at each other, savoring this rare and warm moment.
Unfortunately, things often don't go as planned. A charming voice sounded from behind the two of them, interrupting the lovemaking between Sheng Changfeng and Liu.
"Oh, Mo'er is here to congratulate Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law!"
Upon hearing this voice, Sheng Changfeng and Liu blushed immediately, let go of their hands, and looked around pretending to check the weather.
"Ahem...Molan, how can you have the leisure to sit here and listen to your third brother's affairs? Why don't you go and see if your fourth brother-in-law has graduated from high school?!"
Sheng Changfeng pretended to cough and changed the subject to establish his authority as an older brother.
"Humph, Fourth Brother-in-law will definitely win. Third Brother should hurry home and tell our parents the good news!"
Rulan stood up to support Molan, not afraid of Changfeng's so-called brotherly prestige at all.
At this moment, Sheng Changfeng, who was trying hard to maintain his image, was suddenly deflated and could only watch helplessly as his sisters huddled together with smiles.
In the end, it was Liu who stepped in and slapped the three silly girls on the head one by one, which finally stopped them from laughing.
"Go and tell your fourth and fifth sisters the news. Don't let them wait anxiously."
Although she stopped the girls from playing, Liu, as the sister-in-law, was still considerate enough to let her husband go ahead to test the waters.
"Well, I'll go right away. You must take care of yourself and don't work too hard."
It turned out that just a few months ago, Liu was found to be pregnant, which made Sheng Changfeng ecstatic. He studied hard day and night and worked even harder, preparing to pass the high school entrance examination in one go and give his wife and child a decent life.
Now that everything has come true, Sheng Changfeng suddenly feels that life is so perfect that there is nothing to say.
"Got it, we will take good care of Third Sister-in-law, you go quickly!"
Before Liu could answer, Molan supported her and urged her.
"Yes, yes, we are here. It won't be hard for Third Sister-in-law. Go quickly!"
Rulan girl hurriedly pushed Changfeng's back.
"Hey, hey, hey, you girls, once you have a husband, you forget your brother!"
Sheng Changfeng rarely jokes. Ever since he got into trouble by talking nonsense while drunk, he has kept his mouth shut and his temperament has become smooth, just to live his life in peace and stability.
Whenever Molan went back to her parents' home to see him, she would say, "If my third brother and I hadn't been so willful, perhaps mother wouldn't have had to work so hard to plan for you and me, and this disaster wouldn't have happened, and we wouldn't have been separated forever..."
Although Molan's words contained self-blame, they were more of a comfort to Changfeng, whose temperament had calmed down.
But the brother and sister have been married for many years, and they have seen many things clearly, so they know where the root of these problems comes from.
Looking at Sheng Changfeng's somewhat thin back, Liu and Sheng Molan smiled at each other.
"It's been a long time since I saw your third brother so happy."
Molan felt something and smiled slightly: "This is good..."
"Well, that's good."
Liu stared at Changfeng's back, then gently stroked her slightly pregnant belly and muttered to herself.
. . . . . .
When Sheng Changfeng walked back to the crowd, the noise became even louder, with people walking out happily, arm in arm.
Among them was the calm and composed Lu Haoqing, the flushed and excited Liang Han, and of course the smiling Qi Heng.
"How is it? But..."
Sheng Changfeng asked cautiously without finishing his words.
"Yes, my son, my young master, and my brother from the Lu family all won!"
The servants behind Liang Han immediately answered with a smile on their faces. At this moment, they, the servants, felt proud.
"Oh, what am I? I'm only number twenty-first. Master Yao is the truly amazing one, the top three scholar!"
Liang Han looked at the young Lu Haoqing and felt uneasy. How did these people from scholarly families learn? They were all so abnormal.
In other words, anyone who is close to Han is not a kind and easy-going person.
Liang Han felt that when he married Molan, he was suddenly integrated into an indescribable behemoth of the future.
How can I describe this feeling...very good, pretty good!
"Where is the young father-in-law?"
Sheng Changfeng asked politely. After all, the relationship between Duke Qi's Mansion and the Sheng family was very bad now, and it was mostly a problem between Qi Heng and Sheng Minglan.
"Fifteen." Qi Heng suppressed his slightly excited tone, his eyes already drifting to a beautiful figure at the distant street corner.
"Then Chang Feng would like to congratulate the young master and his two brothers-in-law."
While congratulating, Sheng Changfeng moved lightly, cleverly blocking Qi Heng's gaze that was directed at the women of the Sheng family.
This subtle movement made everyone present look at it.
Everyone is a smart person and naturally understands the meaning of this. Sheng Changfeng is not satisfied that Qi Heng is still thinking about his sixth sister.
When Qi Heng saw the other party's action, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and stunned. He forced a smile and nodded to Sheng Changfeng.
As for Lu Haoqing, upon hearing Sheng Changfeng's address, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Changfeng, please don't say that. This will easily tarnish the reputation of the Fifth Miss."
Seeing that Lu Haoqing, who was about to get married next month, was still so cautious in her words and actions and paid attention to protecting the reputation of the Sheng family's daughter, Chang Feng nodded slightly, and couldn't help but glance at the uneasy Qi Heng, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
People are afraid of comparison. From this perspective, Qi Heng is still a little inferior to Lu Haoqing. It is no wonder that his sixth sister has completely given up on Qi Heng and is ready to find another good man.
Putting aside the confusion in his heart, Chang Feng chatted with Lu Haoqing and others with a smile, and even joked about Liang Han, a model of a prodigal son who has returned home.
"Don't let Fourth Sister wait in vain, go see her first!"
Chang Feng patted Liang Han on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
"Thank you." Liang Han bowed respectfully, lifted the hem of his robe, and walked quickly towards the elegant and beautiful Mo Lan standing in the distance.
Seeing the otherworldly Mo Lan in the sunlight, Liang Han's heart melted instantly, and the tenderness on his face was visibly revealed.
"Ma'am, I'm in high school—!"
Seeing Liang Han running towards her like a child, Molan couldn't help but smile elegantly, feeling that all these years of companionship and expectations had finally paid off.
"Maybe this is the meaning of husband and wife, and the meaning of life!"
A deep thought flashed through Molan's mind, and then, regardless of the envious gazes of the crowd, she threw herself into the arms of Liang Han who was running towards her.
In short, when Lu Haoqing and Liang Han's rankings were announced, the entire Sheng family was in an uproar.
You should know that both sons of the Sheng family were admitted to high school, and now even the two sons-in-law are on the list. Now, the reputation of the Sheng family is soaring in the city of Bianjing.
Many dignitaries in the entire city of Bianjing secretly wanted to marry the daughter of the Sheng family to bring honor to their family.
As a result, after inquiring, it turned out that there was only one illegitimate child, Sheng Xiaoliu, in the Sheng family who was still unmarried. The rest were either married or betrothed, and there was no second choice at all.
Now Sheng Minglan became the most popular woman in the entire city of Bianjing.
But they just forgot that Sheng Minglan had caused a lot of uproar in the city because of her affair with Qi Heng, the young master of Duke Qi's Mansion, and was unreasonably accused for a long time.
It is a pipe dream to want Sheng Minglan to marry into one of these families.
Now, not only the old lady of the Sheng family protects Ming girl, but even the brothers and sisters of the Sheng family will not let Minglan suffer that pain easily.
Anyway, with all these excitement, plus the marriage between the Lu and Sheng families next month, the oppressive atmosphere in Bianjing City caused by the shadow of war has eased a lot.
