After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

Looking at Ma Hong's red eyes, staring at her but not taking any action, Shen Li knew that although Ma Hong looked crazy, in fact, she still knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

"Brother, let's go."

Shen Han nodded, then looked at the people in the village and said, "Thank you all for coming to see Shen. We will leave now, and please go back."

After saying this, the group left Heike Village.

When they arrived at the mansion, Zhang Wang handed an invitation to Shen Li.

When Shen Li opened it, it turned out to be Lan Xueyan, who invited her to her house to appreciate the flowers. She also cleverly mentioned Shen Han and Guan Wenyi, wanting her to take them with her.

She then understood that he just wanted to make friends with his elder brother and Guan Wenyi, and it was probably the intention of the prefect Ruan Mingde behind this.

She showed the invitation to Shen Han and Guan Wenyi.

"Brother, are you going?"

"You have to go. Your business will be in this prefecture in the future. It will be much more convenient if you are on good terms with the prefect. It's a good opportunity to meet him now so that I can support you."

Shen Li naturally knew that this could not be refused. She looked at Guan Wenyi again. He did not like socializing. If he really didn't want to go, then she would not let him go.

But before she could speak, Guan Wenyi nodded.

What else could she say?

Early the next morning, Shen Li took the two of them to a clothing store and bought two sets of suitable clothes, and she also bought a more complicated dress for herself.

After the three of them had packed up, they took a carriage to the Ruan Mansion.

This time the banquet was held in a pavilion. On one side of the pavilion, there was a shelf that was indeed filled with blooming flowers.

The table in the pavilion has been set for the banquet.

Lan Xueyan saw Shen Li and the other two and hurriedly came out from the pavilion to greet them: "Shen girl, you are here." She then looked at Shen Han and Guan Wenyi beside them: "These two are the top scholar and the third scholar, right?"

Shen Li pointed at Shen Han: "This is my elder brother Shen Han." He then pointed at Guan Wenyi: "This is Guan Wenyi."

"Ah! These two look very young. It's true that heroes emerge from youth. Please take a seat."

After Shen Li and the other two sat down, Lan Xueyan said to the maid next to her, "Go, call the master and the young master over." Turning around, she said to Shen Li, "Girl, look at these pots of flowers I have. Are they doing well?"

"Yes, look at how gorgeous it is. You can tell it took a lot of thought to grow it. And this, we've never seen it here." Shen Li was pointing at a pot of pink tulips, which were indeed not seen here.

"You have a really good eye. This flower is called turmeric. We don't have it here. I got the seeds from a man who always sails overseas. It took me a lot of effort to grow it until it blooms like this."

"Otherwise I would say that Madam has really wasted her time."

At this time, Ruan Mingde and Ruan Heng entered the pavilion.

Shen Li and the other two stood up and bowed to Ruan Mingde: "Greetings, Your Excellency the Prefect."

"No need to be so polite. This is just a private banquet. There is no need for so many etiquettes. These two are this year's No. 1 and No. 2, right?"

"My name is Shen Han, and I am the top scorer in this year's exam."

"I'm Guan Wenyi, and I'm the top scholar."

Ruan Mingde smiled and nodded, then looked at Shen Li: "I have seen this person before, is this Miss Shen?"

"Sir, it is me."

Ruan Heng stood aside, glanced at Shen Li, and then bowed to Shen Han and Guan Wenyi.

"Okay, everyone sit down." Ruan Mingde said.

Shen Li and the other two sat down again.

"I heard that Shen Zhuangyuan won three prizes in a row? He is truly a talent of our Qi Dynasty."

"Your Excellency, I am too kind. It was just luck." Although Shen Han had made great achievements, he had not yet been appointed as an official. In front of the prefect, his words and actions were still very polite.

Ruan Mingde could see it, so he looked up to Shen Han even more: "Don't be modest, my son Ruan Heng is about the same age as you, and he is also a scholar now."

Ruan Heng kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, he heard him mentioned, and said, "Dad, I study very hard too."

"Serious? Look at the two people sitting in front of you. They are about the same age as you. One is the top scholar and the other is the third scholar. What about you? You still have the nerve to say you are serious?"

Ruan Heng curled his lips and said, "They are awesome. People like me are normal, okay?"

When Shen Li heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh. What Ruan Heng said was actually quite right, and he got the point right this time.

"Shen Li, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just think I'm stupid. If you want to laugh, just laugh. Why are you holding it back?" Ruan Heng said unhappily.

"Mr. Ruan, I definitely don't think you are stupid. On the contrary, I think what you said is very right."

Ruan Heng was suspicious: "Do you really think what I said is right?"

Shen Li nodded affirmatively: "Really, absolutely true."

"Dad, look, is there anyone who has the same idea as me?"

Ruan Mingde said with a straight face: "Alright, it's embarrassing, why are you making excuses for yourself?"

Lan Xueyan hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Master, we have guests here today, so please stop talking to your son."

Ruan Mingde didn't continue, but started chatting with Shen Han and Guan Wenyi.

At this time, Ruan Heng stretched his head towards Shen Li, and whispered: "Shen Li, after Yanyan left, I felt very boring, but I think you are a good person, why don't we be friends, I will go to play with you when I have nothing to do."

Shen Li also whispered: "Mr. Ruan, I may not have time. I am usually very busy."

"How can you be so disloyal? That's not what you said when you asked me for help."

"I'm not trying to be polite to you. I'm really busy. You know my business."

Although Shen Li and the other person spoke quietly, they were at the same table, so how could they not hear it?

"Girl, Heng'er really doesn't have any friends he likes, but it seems like he gets along very well with you." Lan Xueyan said.

Ruan Mingde and the other two on the side heard what was said here and stopped talking.

"Madam, Mr. Ruan is a good man with a strong sense of justice."

"You think it's good too? Girl, excuse me, are you married now?"

Shen Li's heart was moved. What was going on? But this kind of thing couldn't be concealed. Once he asked, he knew: "Not yet."

"Then what do you think of my son Ruan Heng? I see that you two can get along well and I think you will have no problem getting along with each other. How about considering getting engaged?"

Even though Shen Li was mentally prepared, she at most thought that Lan Xueyan would try to match her up with Ruan Heng like she did last time. She never expected that she would directly discuss the marriage.

Shen Han and Guan Wenyi were also shocked, especially Guan Wenyi. He tensed up and clenched his fists unconsciously in his sleeves.

"Madam, this... is too sudden. I remember that you seemed to have a daughter-in-law in mind?"

"You mean Jingxian? Alas! I wanted Heng'er to marry her before, but the two of them just don't get along. I'm sure you know something about it. Heng'er doesn't like her, and I can't really force them."
