Chapter 105: Cabinet Examination

"How could you be like this, how could you be like this!"

Late at night, Song Mingzhang's heartbroken voice was still echoing.

Scolding, crying...

...

Li An also learned some things:

After Song An Ning's appearance was restored, she spent the whole day hanging out with young people in the city, both men and women.

Two months ago, the young people in the city organized a spring outing and hunting, and she naturally went.

During that spring outing, the Ninth Prince of Tianyang Palace was also there. After the spring outing and hunting, the Ninth Prince invited her and several other ladies to have a small gathering.

According to Song An Ning, they drank too much at the time and didn't know what happened, but when they woke up, it was already a done deal.

Li An has seen a lot of such things. In his previous life, he relied on his status and identity as a cultivator family... In fact, he also did such beastly things.

It is normal for upper-class children to play like this.

Moreover, according to his guess, Song An Ning may not really be completely unaware of the details - she was radiant in those days and seemed very happy.

Several maids even privately discussed that Song An Ning could become a prince's consort in the future.

But Song An Ning had no status, no spiritual talent, to put it bluntly, she just had a good figure and face, and a skin bag. How could it be so easy to be a princess?

The little prince got tired of playing with her.

Her dream of becoming a princess was shattered, and she was pregnant...

In the next few days, Song Mingzhang was very worried. First, he found a magic medicine for abortion, and then asked the maids to take care of Song An Ning's daily life.

At the same time, he went around and tried every means to suppress the news of this matter, and issued a gag order to the maids in the mansion.

He didn't have much life to live, and after this incident, he became even weaker.

For three months, Li An ignored this matter and pretended not to know.

One day, Song Mingzhang found Li An.

"Friend Zuo, you have read most of the books in my study, and now your knowledge has surpassed mine..." He looked at Li An and said, "Study for practical use, have you ever thought about the future?" Li An was stunned, pondered for a long time, and said, "I really haven't made many plans." Song Mingzhang said, "I have an opportunity here, I wonder if you are interested..." "Please speak, senior." "My time is coming to an end. Before I die, I can recommend someone to enter the Treasure Pavilion as a treasure appraiser. With your talent, you will definitely pass the assessment... I wonder if you are willing?" Li An was stunned for a moment and said, "Treasure Pavilion..." After that, he was immediately moved: "If you can enter the Treasure Pavilion, you can gain more knowledge and increase your knowledge. If you are helped by the senior, Zuo Wendi will go all out!"

Song Mingzhang nodded, "In addition, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

"An Ning has received your great favor twice, you know her inside out, and now she has made a mistake, I want to ask you to save her again..."

"You are over a hundred years old and have not married yet. I intend to entrust An Ning to you. I wonder what you think?"

There was a humiliating and sad look on his face, "She is already a fallen woman, I don't have to hide this from you... If you don't want to, I will never force you."

Li An sighed slightly in his heart, he had thought of this a long time ago.

In fact, after Song An Ning's appearance was restored, Song Mingzhang must have wanted to find a better family in his heart.

But who would have thought that Song An Ning played too crazy and was killed by someone.

The upper class in the city is well-informed, who would marry her?

It would be better to let her marry Li An. Li An is a foundation-building cultivator after all. If she can successfully enter the Treasure Pavilion in the future, Song An Ning will have no problem living a life of wealth and glory.

"Zuo is already a 100-year-old man, and Miss An Ning is still young... I'm afraid Miss An Ning doesn't want this?"

"You are her lifesaver, there is no reason for her to be unwilling!"

Song Mingzhang said earnestly: "Zuo Xiaoyou, you might as well tell me directly whether you dislike her? If so... it is not impossible for An Ning to be a concubine."

Li An sighed and said: "Zuo Wen is willing to take Miss An Ning as the main person. If she is willing to marry Zuo, Zuo will be more than happy. If she is not willing, she can always choose another good man. How about it?"

Song Mingzhang nodded with relief.

...

After this conversation, Li An also visited Song An Ning from time to time, feeding her medicine and water, and taking good care of her.

Song An Ning should have known about this, but when facing Li An, she showed an uncontrollable disgust in her eyes from time to time.

After all, she had seen many young men and dandies outside, who were young, rich, and dressed in fine clothes.

In comparison, Li An, who was already a hundred years old, had gray hair and beard, wrinkles all over, and was beginning to show his old age. He was also dull and only knew how to read all day. How could he be worthy of her charm?

Li An was very indifferent to this.

If Song An Ning really liked him, it would be quite troublesome. Her disgust was exactly the reason why Li An agreed to Song Mingzhang!

Now that Song Mingzhang was still alive, she naturally dared not say anything, but after Song Mingzhang died, Li An would not interfere. With her personality, she would never be willing to marry Li An.

Respect the fate of others!

…

"Zuo Wen, pack up and go to the Treasure Pavilion with me tomorrow."

That day, after the three of them had dinner, Song Mingzhang spoke.

Li An's heart moved.

…

The next morning, Li An and Song Mingzhang set off in a carriage. It wasn't long before we arrived at the Treasure Pavilion. The building was magnificent and surrounded by a powerful formation. We got off the car and went inside. There were even more treasures. Magical instruments, materials, and elixirs were displayed in the display cabinets.

Song Mingzhang took Li An into a quiet hall.

The hall was heavily guarded outside, and there were already many people sitting inside.

There were many young people, but there were also some middle-aged people who were a little older. At a glance, there were more than a dozen people.

There were two kinds of people in the hall, the treasure appraisers that the Treasure Pavilion had cultivated since childhood, and Li An, who was recommended by the current treasure appraiser.

This was an assessment.

Song Mingzhang had already told Li An before he came that treasure appraisers could only recommend, so that Li An had the qualifications to participate in the assessment.

Whether he could become a treasure appraiser depended on his own ability.

"Is this the one recommended by Master Song Mingzhang?"

Among them, there was a man and a woman, and both of them looked at Li An.

Li An heard from Song Mingzhang that the young man was named Lu Hua and the woman was named Zheng Xiaoxiao. These two people were the direct descendants of other treasure appraisers.

They were Li An's biggest competitors!

There were only two vacancies for treasure appraisers in the Treasure Pavilion this time.

"This person is so old, what is he still doing here..."

"I heard that Master Song recommended him. His son died early, leaving only a granddaughter. What is his relationship with this person?"

Some other young people were also whispering.

"Be quiet, don't talk anymore!"

After a while, a middle-aged beautiful woman with a serious face came in. She glanced coldly and said, "The treasure appraiser assessment is divided into two levels, object theory and treasure appraisal!"

"In the boxes sent to you now, there are a test paper and ten items of various types. After finishing the test questions, you can write down the origin, nature and value of these ten items one by one."

"It takes half an hour!"

She waved her hand, and someone next to her immediately handed down many wooden boxes. Everyone who got the box opened it hastily and started marking the papers.

Li An also opened it, took a look, and then picked up his pen to answer.

Not far away.

Lu Hua and Zheng Xiaoxiao got the papers, both looked happy, as if they had it all figured out.
