Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The addition of Qi Heng to the school was just like adding three more screens. Chang Feng originally thought Qi Heng was a good person, but after hearing that Princess Pingning looked down on her sisters, he felt a little uncomfortable with Qi Heng. So when they met outside the school early in the morning, when Qi Heng asked Molan and Rulan to call him "Brother Yuanruo", he directly refused on behalf of Molan, saying, "Yuanruo is too anxious. It's okay for us men, but girls shouldn't call him so affectionately right away."

Molan secretly gave Changfeng a look of approval, and together with Rulan, she squatted down to greet Qi Heng, calling him "Hello, Young Master". This also successfully reminded Qi Heng of the rude and overbearing behavior of his mother, Princess Pingning. When Minglan arrived and also called him "Young Master", he knew that he had offended all the girls in the Sheng family.

Master Zhuang had already tested Qi Heng. Although he felt that Qi Heng was a little naive, at least Qi Heng did not have any of the bad habits of a young man from a noble family who looked down on others, nor did he have the slightest habit of bullying men and women. This was enough to make him happy.

Young people can't sit still, and for an older man like Zhuang Xuejiu, sitting for a long time is harmful to his health, so everyone has two breaks in the morning class. Changfeng and Changbai are just starting to grow, so they have to take this opportunity to have some snacks to avoid feeling hungry.

Qi Heng didn't have such a habit, but he had also reached the stage of growing up, so Changbai and Changfeng were happy to share some food with him and didn't worry about whether he could get used to it.

As for the three girls on the other side, Minglan was always taciturn, but Xiaotao beside her was now learning to read from Xi Que beside Rulan, so she was forced to bow her head to Rulan, and was considered to have initially integrated into the sisters.

As for Molan, she didn't care about all that. She just needed to agree with Rulan when she spoke.

Rulan murmured quietly, "That young master seems to be a nice person, but it's a pity that he has a mother like Princess Pingning."

Molan nodded and responded casually: "Yes, the young master is a good person, and Princess Pingning is probably very good to her family, but she is a little too much to outsiders like us. However, this is also human nature. Anyway, it is impossible for me to treat an outsider better than my family."

Minglan didn't dare to talk about Qi Heng and Princess Pingning casually. Thinking of Qi Heng's handsome face and gentle tone, she couldn't help but be distracted for a moment, but then she quickly came to her senses and lowered her head.

Rulan couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw Minglan's timid look, and her voice became a little louder: "Sheng Xiaoliu, what's wrong with you? Did my fourth sister and I bully you again?"

Molan quickly stopped her. Even if Rulan didn't do anything, it would still be misunderstood. "You, don't always talk about Sixth Sister like this. Sixth Sister just doesn't like to talk."

Minglan also knew that she couldn't conflict with Rulan, so she quickly followed Molan's words and said, "Fifth sister, I just don't know what to say..."

Seeing Minglan like this, Rulan became even more angry, but she knew not to really start a conflict. She calmed down a little, but still couldn't help but preach: "You have been with grandma for so long, you can't always act like a coward who has been bullied and can't say anything. Besides, who in this family has wronged you?"

Rulan's words were getting more and more outrageous, so Molan stopped trying to stop her and turned to Minglan and said, "Sixth sister, father and the eldest lady have indeed neglected you, but grandma is always thinking about you. Let's not talk about anything else, just take your current schoolwork as an example. You can only keep up with the progress because of grandma's tutoring."

"And isn't your father also providing you with the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones that you use now?"

Molan had no guilt in saying this. Although Sheng Hong did ignore Minglan, Lin Qinshuang was a good person, so at least Sheng Hong had prepared all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone for Minglan, and even took out the books he had used for his own enlightenment.

Minglan wanted to say that no one in this family cared about her except her grandmother, but now the things she used for school were indeed prepared by Sheng Hong, and even her maid Xiaotao could learn a few words from Rulan's maid Xique. She really had nothing to say.

Several young people at Changbai were talking about today's lessons. Everyone seemed to be getting closer, not knowing at all that the girls had a fight over there. But when she returned to the classroom, Minglan really didn't dare to make any cowardly moves again.

Rulan is a person who doesn't remember things. Although she got angry with Minglan once, she forgot about it afterwards. However, Molan couldn't help but tell Lin Qinshuang about Minglan after she returned home at noon.

Molan was very puzzled: "Minglan may have been treated badly in front of the eldest lady and father, but she is the sweetheart of the old lady. Judging from the situation, the old lady may even risk her dignity to plan for her in the future. But why does she always look like she is being bullied?"

Lin Qinshuang burst out laughing. Looking at Molan's frowning face, she was filled with pride. Her daughter was no worse than Rulan who was with the lady and Hualan who was raised by the old lady!

After the laughter was over, Lin Qinshuang explained to Molan: "First, maybe Minglan trapped herself and couldn't see the appearance of other people in the family; second, she is very scheming and put on this appearance to please you in front of the old lady and the young master."

Qi Heng had lunch at the Sheng family at noon on the first day. Chang Bai and Chang Feng had to accompany him. The three of them spent the lunch time just talking about homework. Qi Heng also got to know the Sheng family's dishes. He especially liked their desserts.

However, even though he wanted to write two poems praising the Sheng family's snacks, Changbai and Changfeng did not say that it was their younger sister's craft. After all, they were young people with clear likes and dislikes. They had no opinion on Qi Heng and even had some likes and dislikes. But they had some opinions on Qi Heng's mother, Princess Pingning.

After school in the afternoon, Princess Pingning certainly couldn't catch her own son and ask him what he thought of the girls from the Sheng family, but Qi Heng's personal servant could not escape Princess Pingning's questioning.

Although Buwei could see clearly that his young master was despised by the three girls of the Sheng family, he did not dare to tell Princess Pingning directly and cause trouble. He only said that the three girls were worthy of being daughters of civil officials, well-educated and well-mannered, and even though their young master affectionately said that he could call him brother, they only called him young master.

Princess Pingning was satisfied after hearing this, but Duke Qi felt that she had gone too far and could not help but say, "Well, now that you know that the Sheng family's family tradition is indeed clear and strict, you should stop causing trouble. Even if our family is not afraid of the censor's impeachment, you should think about your son. He still wants to be friends with the young masters of the Sheng family."

Princess Pingning was still worried, but she could only pretend that she was convinced by Duke Qi and keep the matter to herself.
