Minglan was stunned for a moment, then she showed great joy and congratulated her repeatedly. ~

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang beamed with joy: "We have had good news for a long time, but the days are short, so we didn't dare to announce it. Now that the fetus is firmly seated, I will come back and let my family have a look. Speaking of which, the old lady is really worried about it.

As soon as I got the letter, I sent two useful mothers over, telling her to watch Ru Lan carefully and eat and rest carefully."

Mrs. Wang is such a disgusting person. It is obvious that her ancestors love her daughter very much and just accept it as soon as they get along, but she is pretending to be 13. At this moment, she is twisting her body and blaming Old Mrs. Sheng, saying: "Mother too! I know that you love me so much."

Son, I'm afraid my wife will be unhappy by doing this. I went to Wen's house a few days ago and saw that her face looked ugly!"

Haishi was a little embarrassed. Minglan was accustomed to lowering her head and pretending not to hear: Although the old lady believed in Buddhism, she was not a vegetarian. It was not that Wang had no Zhuangbibility before, but she basically ended up being struck by lightning.

Sure enough, the old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law's proud face with a faint gaze, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "I used to not get involved in these things for the sake of appearance, but now when I think of that kid Hualan, all I think about is,

My daughter's health is the most important thing. Even if she is rude to her in-laws, I can't care about it. If the girl's sex is not as good as Hua'er, if there is a quarrel in the Wen family, it will either hurt the harmony or hurt the family.

You might as well ask me to do this evil thing!"

Thinking of Hua Lan's sick and frail appearance, Wang's eyes wet and she lowered her head and said nothing. In fact, the old lady of the Wen family was not a good person, but the Sheng family had enough confidence and her son was devoted to Ru Lan. She didn't have any software or hardware to fight.

It just stopped.

The old lady put down the tea bowl and said to her daughter-in-law with a serious voice: "You are also blessed with children and grandchildren. Now that Hua Lan has two brothers by your side, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Not to mention the other girls, Ru Lan is your

Take care of it with one hand. I am getting older and there are things that I cannot take care of. You should take care of them more!"

"After all, she is someone else's daughter-in-law. Don't run to her mother's house all day long, and then accuse our Sheng family of being domineering. She must be considerate and courteous when treating her husband. She must not pretend to be a favor, unless she doesn't want to live in the future.

!Be kind to your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and you have to endure it! Don't treat the smallest thing as if you have suffered a huge grievance. Which daughter-in-law doesn't come here like this, but she is inlaid with gold and jade?

I think the fifth uncle is not a cold-blooded person. If Rulan doesn't go too far, even if she becomes rich in the future, she will be treated well by her." Old Mrs. Sheng's tone was not particularly harsh, but it hit the nail on the head.

The allusions, sentence after sentence, were like stabbing Wang's lungs, a breath stuck in her throat, and she couldn't reply even a single sentence.

"What mother said is that my daughter-in-law has remembered it, and I will talk to Ru'er later." Wang's neck stiffened, and it took her a long time to hold back these words.

Haishi lowered his head and imitated Minglan, counting the tea leaves in the bowl with a solemn expression.

The old lady looked at Mr. Wang's face and felt that she felt seventy or eighty percent happy. She changed the subject again: "If we make a mistake in etiquette, there is a huge reason to lose three points! And Ruo Rulan changed the etiquette by three points.

If you have done enough, no matter what the in-laws do wrong, the Sheng family will not be able to handle it!" As she said this, she felt a little angry. She felt bad for her beloved eldest granddaughter to suffer, but it was still considered a high marriage.

Yes, if someone who married young still had to compromise, the prosperous family would become a joke.

The so-called in-laws, of course, are the best if they are on equal terms, and they are not defrauding people of marriage. No one has to swallow their anger.

When Minglan counted the tea leaves for the third time, she changed the subject. She said to Haishi: "When will my sister-in-law plan to hold a full moon ceremony for Sister Hui? I've been waiting for a long time."

Haishi was bright-eyed and immediately smiled and said: "Because I was not in good health when I was pregnant with my sister, my mother felt sorry for me, so she decided to have a double full moon ceremony for Hui'er and me. This way, Hui'er and I can be energetic whether meeting relatives and friends or having a drink.

Somewhat."

Mrs. Wang nodded, glanced at her daughter-in-law with satisfaction, then turned to Minglan and said, "That's exactly what happened. By then, your eldest sister will be pregnant, and Ru'er will be pregnant, so we can

Get together as a family."

Minglan looked at the old lady sitting upright, and saw that she was fiddling with the dried tangerines on the plate calmly, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips. Minglan suppressed a smile and said to Mrs. Wang: "In the end,

You are my wife, you are knowledgeable and considerate. As juniors, we need to learn more." A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Mr. Wang, her words were sincere and her expression was sincere. Minglan was used to doing this skill, even if she was used to it.

No matter what Wang said was outrageous, she could express her 100% agreement without blinking an eye.

Mrs. Wang lightly covered her red lips, and in order to appear modest, she changed the topic: "Speaking of your eldest sister, I went to see her a few days ago. Although she is thin, she is in good spirits."

"That's great. When I looked at my eldest sister during the shower last time, I just felt that the clothes were swaying on her body." Minglan was worried, and she didn't know if the 'ingenious plan' would work.

Mrs. Wang couldn't suppress her pride and said with joy: "Ha! Mrs. Yuan has too much time to take care of herself now. Your eldest sister is feeling much better today, and she still misses you. If you have nothing to do, you can go and see her when you have time."

"Too busy with yourself? What happened to the Yuan family?" Minglan's heart skipped a beat, feeling excited and uneasy at the same time.

Mrs. Wang was about to speak, but unexpectedly Mrs. Sheng coughed heavily, and she came to her senses, thinking that it was not easy for her to talk about other elders in front of her juniors. How clever Haishi was, he immediately smiled and said: "It's nothing.

, but Uncle Yuan, the loyal uncle in front of the battle, welcomed a new aunt into the house. Mrs. Yuan thought that the newcomer did not know the rules and could not take care of his uncle's daily life, so he had to teach him a thing or two, so she got a little busy." Look,

In the same words, with this level of speaking, Ms. Wang, you will continue to learn and live.

Minglan seemed to have heard it for the first time and responded slowly: "Eh..." Oh yeah!

Although it is unethical to put a concubine in the middle of a husband and wife, people will not be punished for themselves. The old woman always torments her Hua Lan. She almost stuffed a women's volleyball team into Hua Lan's room. Now let her have a taste of it.

Damn! Minglan doesn’t have any psychological burden at all.

"...Mrs. Yuan is so virtuous." Minglan's eyes were pure.

Mrs. Sheng glanced at her granddaughter with a half-smile. Minglan suddenly felt guilty, her face turned red, and she lowered her head.

After Brother Quan was put on the Arhat's bed by his wet nurse, he kept playing with the ancient jade finger ring strung with a red string on his chest. One chubby finger was put in, but it was too wide. Two fingers were put in, but it was still too wide. Finally, he stretched out his little chubby finger.

With a fleshy fist, I pushed four fingers in. Wow, my little palm was stuck in the ring finger! The ancient jade was warm and it didn’t hurt much. Quan Geer shook his little arm repeatedly, but he couldn’t shake it off, and he couldn’t break it off.

When he came down, he raised his fists and dug into the old lady's arms, asking for relief. ~

Mrs. Sheng had no choice but to coax him to help him take off the ring. At this time, the maid outside loudly announced: "The master and the third master are here."

All the female relatives in the hall, except the old lady, all stood up, folded their skirts and saluted. Sheng Hong and Chang Feng entered the room one after another. At this time, brother Quan was leaning on the old lady's shoulder and he was smiling. He opened his short arms and shouted happily at Sheng Hong.

When the middle-aged and fat dad Sheng saw his little grandson, his heart immediately softened. After saluting the old lady and saying hello, he smiled and hugged Brother Quan, sat on the seat next to the Arhat bed, and placed the little fat boy on the bed. Knees teased.

"Get rid of you, rough father!" The little fat boy slurred his words and very skillfully scratched his grandfather's beard.

"Yeah! My good baby!" Sheng Hong smiled happily and let Xiao Sun scratch his beard.

The old lady was still holding the ring in her hand. Seeing the affectionate look between her grandfather and grandson that she hadn't seen in eight hundred years, she felt angry and funny. She laughed and cursed: "You have no conscience!"

Sheng Hong hugged Brother Quan and burst into laughter. Brother Quan threw himself on his neck and kissed half of his old face with saliva. Wang laughed and said, "They say they kiss each other in the next generation, and it's absolutely true." of."

After all, the juniors were all here, so Sheng Hong couldn't be too happy with his grandson. After teasing him for a while, he handed Quan brother back to the wet nurse beside him. The old lady said to Haishi: "This won't stop, don't go outside. He bounced around twice and refused to stop. The sun is nice today, so you can take him out to play some more."

Haishi responded softly. The little chubby boy in the wet nurse's arms was very smart and seemed to understand what he said. As soon as the wet nurse bent over, he kicked off his legs and landed firmly on the ground, happily He jumped out of the house, followed by three or five maids, chasing after him.

Heidegger was quite uneasy and said anxiously: "This child is so unruly..."

"It doesn't matter!" Sheng Hong looked at the door where Xiaosun was leaving with a smile and waved his hand repeatedly, "It's better for the boy to be strong-skinned when he was young. In the future, no matter how hard he is for ten years, he will continue to train in the military because he has a healthy body and bones."

"Exactly." The old lady liked it in her heart, but she said deliberately, "You are so strong. If he keeps hitting you in the future, we don't have to worry! Don't be like his sixth aunt, who is useless and slaps you in the face. I can’t stand it either!”

"Grandma!" Minglan was embarrassed and said angrily, "You, you, just once, you still...?!"

While the whole room was laughing, Haishi Fuli withdrew, and everyone sat down again according to their seniority; Sheng Hong and Wang were on both sides of the Arhat bed, and Minglan and Changfeng sat opposite each other.

"Where's the sixth uncle?" The old lady laughed a little and asked after taking a breath.

Sheng Hong was about to stroke his beard, but he only touched a clump of bird's nests that Sun had scratched, so he had to comb it instead: "After talking to me in the study, he went to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. The emperor has not been here these two days. In the palace, the morning court is exempted, but there are also errands for both young and old."

Minglan looked at her father. Although he had skipped work early in the morning, his expression was still very loyal and patriotic. Minglan was very cooperative and immediately said: "The Queen Mother of the two palaces is slightly ill. She is going to the Xishan Palace to recuperate. Your Majesty will leave in a few days." Just go and visit, be sincere and filial!"

Sheng Hong nodded with satisfaction. Among the daughters, Minglan was the most well-behaved and especially good at cooperating.

He was a veteran of the officialdom. He went to the Overwatch Council in the morning for a check-up. After seeing that nothing happened, he returned home. Anyway, there would be no urgent matter in the emperor's absence. Most of the people who were busy at this time were close ministers, important ministers and favorite ministers. Flow, such as the new sixth son-in-law who left in a hurry just now.

"What were you talking about, mother? I heard laughter from afar." Sheng Hong was in a good mood and respectfully joined in the fun with the old lady.

The old lady smiled and pointed at Ming Lan: "Hua'er has figured out the matter about the sisters, and Ru'er can now move around. I'll take advantage of Sister Hui and her son's two full moons to serve wine and invite the sisters to get together."

Sheng Hong also smiled and echoed a few words, but suddenly felt sad again and said softly: "Speaking of which, Mo'er got married earlier, why is there no news yet?"

These words immediately lowered the temperature in the hall. Wang curled her lips disdainfully and ignored it. Chang Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head, with a look of concern on his face. The old lady glanced at the father and said lightly. : "There is a cause in the past, and there is a result in the end. If she doesn't look down on my son's blessing, what can I do?"

Wang's heart was so happy that Sheng Hong could only let out a long sigh. The old lady looked at him for a while, her heart softened, and she comforted her with gentle words: "You are a good father, and you have fulfilled your duty as a father. Girl Mo's path is She wants to live and die, and would rather hurt her parents and family than earn it, and now...she doesn't have to blame anyone."

Ming Lan lowered her head and said nothing. She had also heard about Mo Lan's life. Her life was not good, but it was not bad either. Although it was not as sweet as honey as a loving couple, she was not beaten, scolded or humiliated like the miserable Yingchun.

Mo Lan is good at face-making skills and can basically cover the inside and outside. She is probably above the level of mutual respect, but not enough to be favored.

Concubines are like weeds. Those who can survive well will not lose their vitality. Even Hualan, the eldest daughter who has been pampered and grown up, has endured it. How can they be more valuable as concubines? Maybe Without Aunt Lin's protection and wrong policy guidance, Mo Lan was able to earn her own place.

Do you want to be coquettish, willful, stubborn, and angry? Sorry, unless your background is as solid as granite and you have a family that supports you unconditionally. How many women in ancient times could achieve a successful marriage? The ideal level is just mutual respect and mutual respect. I'll take care of the concubines for you, and you'll be responsible for supporting the family, earning money, and supporting the family. We can all live together as partners.

Everyone is struggling to get by, and Minglan doesn't intend to sympathize with anyone.

The old lady didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore and said to Sheng Hong, "You are here today. Do you have anything to tell me?"

When Sheng Hong remembered what he meant, he couldn't help but feel happy again, and said with a smile: "Mom was right, today, I'm here to tell you a happy event. (·~)" He glanced at Chang Feng, and then said, "We weren't here a few days ago. Are you going to the Liu family for a banquet? Unexpectedly, Brother Liu suddenly came to see me a few days ago and said he wanted to marry my family."

The old lady's eyes lit up: "Which girl?"

Speaking of this, Sheng Hong was even more happy: "She is the second daughter, and she happens to be the third daughter."

Wang's mouth opened wide, and Minglan was also shocked. The old lady hurriedly asked: "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true! Brother Liu always speaks the truth." Sheng Hong stroked his beard and looked at Er on the side with a smile. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the jade tree stood in the wind and had extraordinary grace.

Chang Feng blushed and moved uneasily, lowering his head every now and then. Minglan sat opposite him, short and short, and when she looked sideways, she saw that he had a strange look on his face, as if he was shy, but also unwilling, and vaguely... With a sigh of resignation.

It is said that Mr. Liu Mingliu is one of the few who was a classmate, the same class, and the same year as Sheng Hong, and then became a colleague, and has been a close friend to this day. Now he is serving as the fifth-rank Zuosi Cheng of Dali Temple. Although. His rank and official position are not as good as those of Sheng Hong, but he is the official brother-in-law of the Liu family in Yanzhou. He is truly a scholarly official for generations, and a distinguished family that has lasted for one or two hundred years.

Since the previous dynasty, the Liu family in Yanzhou has never failed to be a member of the Jinshi family. There have been two juniors of the first rank, three seniors of the second rank, and countless younger brothers who have become officials. Although they have never been high-ranking ministers or feudal officials. But it is also a hairpin from generation to generation.

It is said that the official tablet placed in the Liu family's ancestral hall is more than enough to play Pai Gow. Although the power and reputation are not as good as those of the Hai family, they still have a foundation. Every time Sheng Hong talks about the Liu family, he can't hide his envy. At the same time, Two sighs.

At first, Sheng Hong had thought about letting the Liu family's children marry Ru Lan. Unfortunately, the Liu family had strong rules, so his grandfather directly agreed to marry him. However, how could such a legitimate daughter...? Ming Lan was not in a hurry and turned her head slightly. Wang, wait slowly.

"Why did they look at Brother Feng?" Wang really couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly, "Master, you have to ask carefully. Is there anything wrong in it?"

Sheng Hong was poured a ladle of cold water on her head and stared at her in shock. The old lady also frowned slightly: "The third girl of the Liu family? Why do I vaguely remember that she seems to be engaged?"
To be continued...
