Chapter 87
Ming Lan was lying on the bedside, Dan Ju carefully applied a layer of lightly fragrant ointment to her palms, and whispered in a soft voice: "...Girl, the old lady got angry that day; what happened to you today?"
This is really inappropriate. The old lady always treats the girl like a darling. She has never let her lose her skin. Now the girl is..." Dan Ju sighed softly, "Why bother? Girl, just wait slowly.
Yes, the He family always has something to explain. (·~)"
Minglan had worked hard all day and was exhausted. She lay lazily and didn't want to move. When she heard this, she sneered softly: "Wait? How to wait? When to wait? How many years older will I be? When I have no choice.
When the He family comes to propose marriage, the old lady goes to ask, 'Can your cousin girl come in?' Or when I do, the Cao family comes back with snot and tears and forces me to let Miss Cao in?!" Minglan
There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of her mouth, "Besides, according to the old lady's nature, she will have to find another family for me within a few days." Minglan sighed softly again, as if she was speechless, "It's just that I'm not willing to give in.
Just forget it, that’s why I had an attack like this.”
Danju looked gloomy and gently put down the white porcelain herringbone medicine bottle. She took the gauze that had been cut into thin sections and slowly wrapped it around Minglan's palm. Then the curtains rang softly and Xiaotao came in carrying a tray with something on it.
She brought a few bowls to the bedside and said with a smile: "I saw that the girl didn't use a few chopsticks for dinner, so I begged Mrs. Lian in the kitchen to give her a bowl of three-fresh cat ear soup and the rolled noodles.
, It’s so strong, girl, eat it while it’s hot!”
There is a glazed blue and green bamboo cup on the black lacquered wood tray, and a bowl and spoon of the same color next to it. In the bowl are green green beans, fresh and tender bamboo shoots, thinly sliced chicken, and small pinched pieces.
The cat's ear noodles and the soup stock were fragrant, and Minglan became more interested in eating. She reached out to take the spoon. Xiaotao smiled and held the tray for Minglan to scoop out.
"Hmm!" Minglan took a bite and felt that it was salty and delicious, which made her index finger twitch. She raised her head and said to Xiao Tao, "The noodles made by Aunt Lian are indeed delicious. You can grab twenty or thirty dollars to thank her later.
.”
Xiao Tao nodded and said with a grin: "Every time the girl asks for something to eat, she will give me money. It's strange that when I go today, even the aunt will happily open the stove."
Danju was worried, but seeing Xiaotao not taking it seriously, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her: "You heartless little hoof! If the girl hadn't stopped you today, I would have sued you.
Mother Fang, I want you to have a good meal too! I dare to tell the girl about everything, whether it’s light or heavy!” Although he said it harshly, he kept his hands on it and found a handkerchief to tie around Minglan’s neck.
Xiao Tao stuck out her tongue: "Eating is as big as the emperor!" Then she turned to face Minglan, her big eyes fluttered a few times in excitement, and said softly, "Girl, I went to take a look. Yancao and Lvzhi are all sleeping.
Come on, old Huangtou and the concierge will find the roommate’s mother fine. Grandma and the fifth girl didn’t come to look for the girl today, so no one will know about our leaving the house.”
Minglan nodded and swallowed a mouthful of fresh and thick noodle soup. Danju looked at her and hesitated to speak. When Minglan was half full after eating, Xiaotao went out with the tray, and she poured it into the copper basin.
Throwing the wet handkerchief, he hesitated and said: "Girl, what if the He family agrees now and regrets it later?" Minglan said lightly: "Of course there is."
After a tiring day, Danju helped Minglan wash up, then put down the curtains and lit mosquito repellent incense sticks in a gilt copper incense burner. After turning out the lights, she quietly exited.
Minglan rolled up her loose hair and threw herself on the pillow. The more tired she became, the more she couldn't sleep, the more worried she became, and the more energetic she became. Minglan was not afraid of facing the fire-breathing dragon and gave it her all. She had no regrets if she lost, but God, this
This time, I gave her a little white-flowered opponent. It would be fine if it was a fake white-flowered real man-eating grass like Aunt Lin. Minglan could use all her energy to fight, and there would be no psychological burden in any method. But this time she encountered
What’s on it are genuine little white flowers.
Humble, haggard, and with a broken family background, her eyes when she looked at He Hongwen were full of desperate joy, like a ghost in the underworld looking up to the world. Anyone with a discerning eye could see why Aunt Lin hooked up with Father Sheng, but Cao Jinxiu didn't.
The difference is that she is sincere to He Hongwen; to be honest, it is not that Minglan has never shown pity to him, but for her own sake, she has no time to pity others.E
The most confusing thing in the world is this.
Minglan lay on her back on the bed, hugging her quilt and sighing softly: She is indeed a conscientious person.;
There is also He Hongwen, and Minglan's mood is also very complicated. Cao Jinxiu can't compare to him in terms of appearance, talent, knowledge, and family background. If He Hongwen still chooses Cao Jinxiu, Minglan might
Very depressing, but I admire him very much - no matter ancient or modern times, few men can give up real interests for the sake of emotion and compassion. (·~)
Yao Yiyi's immediate boss, the old lady official, once said something meaningful: Men should be soft-hearted. This sentence caused a lot of sneers from the little girls in the office. Unexpectedly, several other middlemen in the team
Both the young grandma and the elderly grandma nodded repeatedly; although soft-hearted men are easily abducted, they are also reluctant to let go of the family they have run for many years. Although they are confused by the new love, they are also reluctant to let go of the old love. As long as the woman can hold on, time will
, on my wife’s side.
There was a daughter of a rich man in the office, and she nodded in agreement after hearing this. Her indestructible mother had survived countless turmoils like this, and had the last laugh. Now that her father is old and his body can no longer bear it, he misses the warmth of his family.
.
In fact, hard-hearted men are more dangerous than soft-hearted men. When they like you, they are obedient and firm-minded, but once they change their hearts, they will fall out of love faster than reading a book. They will divorce you without leaving any affection.
Classic case: Xu Zhimo.
Later, the longer Yao Yiyi worked in the civil court and the more joys and sorrows she saw, the more she felt that the old lady Guan was indeed someone who had been there and her words were reliable.
Minglan was so upset that she tossed and put pancakes on the bed for more than an hour. Her head hurt from sleeping, so she got up and walked a few steps in the room. She felt depressed again, so she simply put on her clothes and left.
Going out, passing through the screen partition, I saw Danju sleeping deeply on the painted bed in the outer room, with a deep frown on his face when he fell asleep, and a tired look on his face.!
Minglan relaxed her hands and feet and moved as slowly as possible. Fortunately, it was getting colder at night. The doors and windows of the buildings on both sides were closed. The little maids were all asleep, so Minglan was able to sneak out of the hospital.
The night sky at the end of summer was extremely quiet, reflecting the gloom in the garden. A pale crescent moon loomed, like a pointed orchid finger, crystal clear with a touch of ambiguity that lingered, Minglan slowly followed the path.
As we walked, the vegetation in the garden was quiet, and the sweet-scented osmanthus on the branches and the lotus in the pond were exhaling their faint fragrance, which was cool and fragrant.
Minglan felt much better. To say that this miscarriage was a mistake, Mrs. Sheng's vision for investing in HEHE real estate was very good. It was not easy to have such a small garden on the ground in the capital.
I don’t know how long they walked, but all the suffocation in Minglan’s belly disappeared. The air was humid at night, and Minglan felt chilly. When she saw a cluster of lush and beautiful hostas on the edge of the rock not far away, Minglan felt happy.
Now that the hosta flowers are starting to fade, I want to pick a few and go back to sleep. But as soon as I take a few steps closer, I hear a rustling sound.
Seeing her suspicion, Minglan lifted up her dress and quietly moved over. She squatted down next to the cluster of hostas and looked in. At first glance, she was shocked and saw a tall tree nestled under the rocks.
Two figures, one short and one short, were talking affectionately in a low voice!
Minglan immediately paused there, unable to move - O God, what kind of auspicious day is this? Two rapes were caught in one day!
Minglan could raise three fingers and swear to the great Saturn that she absolutely supports free and sincere love. Although trysts are not advisable, the spirit of chess is commendable. These days, girls who don't worry about crawling into the bed of the master and the young master are always respectable.
Later, she asked her sister-in-law to let a group of older girls out and tighten the access control. So after being stunned for three seconds, Minglan decided to retreat. Who knew, at this moment, a familiar voice came from the other side of the mountain rock?
Female voice: "...Brother Jing...I, I..."
The voice is soft and graceful, and full of affection. When Minglan hears it, it is like a thunderbolt from the blue!
Ru Lan actually became Rong's sister?!
Such a surprise, Minglan took a step back suddenly, and suddenly there was some noise; there was an exclamation from the other side of the rock, and the two people seemed to say something, and then one of them left in a hurry, and the other headed this way.
Come here.'
After a while of pulling at the grass, Ru Lan stepped over the bushes and saw Ming Lan with an embarrassed face among the hostas. Her skirt was caught on the branches and leaves. Ru Lan suddenly raised her eyebrows and put her hands on her hips: "You are doing it here.
What?!"
Minglan was dumbfounded. You, the fifth lady, was the one who was caught and raped, okay? This line should be hers!
"I, I, I... I've eaten too much at night, so I need to take a few steps to eat. [Ye*] [*]" Minglan wanted to slap herself in the face. She didn't have any guilty conscience, so she immediately raised her voice and stared at Rulan.
Said: "What is Fifth Sister doing here again?"
Ru Lan's fierce face actually had two sleeve clouds flying: "What does it have to do with you?!"
"Oh, that's it. Sister, keep going for a walk." Minglan tried to go over, but was caught by Rulan. Minglan had never been her opponent in a show of force, and was dragged back on the spot.
"Be careful of catching cold at this late hour. Let's go back quickly!" Rulan dragged Minglan away like a dog to death.
"I'm going by myself, I'm going by myself, please let me go first!" Minglan's arm was pinched so much that it hurt, and she was gasping for breath, but she didn't want to make any noise, so she had to give in.
Minglan wanted to go to Shou'an Hall to report the unexpected situation, but Rulan insisted on taking Minglan to Taoran Hall. When they met in a narrow road, the brave would win, and the more sturdy Rulan won the final decision (KDKDKD...,,power.
When they arrived at Taoran Pavilion, all the other maids were asleep. Only the little magpie was in the room, waiting hard by a dim lamp. When she saw Rulan coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know that she was still following him.
Minglan, her face turned pale now, and she was so anxious that she almost cried. Minglan couldn't bear it. If such a thing happened, Rulan might be fine, but the little magpie would shed its skin even if it didn't die, so she comforted: "
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, actually I didn't see anything."
As soon as these words were said, the little magpie really cried. Ru Lan was getting annoyed and shouted impatiently: "Why are you crying?! I'm not dead yet! I don't care about you!" After sending the little magpie away with a few words, he caught
Following Minglan, she went straight to the back room.
After entering the room, she pressed Minglan on the edge of the bed and looked at her condescendingly. Her face was majestic and menacing, but her slightly twinkling eyes betrayed her mood. After thinking for a long time, she just growled: "You, don't tell anyone.
!”
Minglan was very funny: "Sister, I didn't see anything." Rulan's face was filled with darkness. She swallowed her saliva and glared at Minglan. Minglan also looked back with a smile. The two sisters looked cross-eyed.
After a long stalemate, Ru Lan said angrily: "Anyway, I don't recognize what you said. There's no such thing!"
Are you acting like a rogue?! Minglan was very surprised and said with a smile: "It's nothing, my wife meant this. Why would my sister be like this? If it really spreads, wouldn't a good thing turn into a bad thing?"
Since what happened to Mo Lan, Haishi has become more and more strict with the concierge. Anyone who can enter the Sheng Mansion at night is definitely not an outsider. Minglan thought for a while and immediately thought that the only omission in Haishi's defense line was the one outside the back garden.
It's a coincidence that there is a group of young talents living in the Pai Xue Hall right now, isn't it? The Qiu Wei exams are divided into three days. Unlike the Spring Wei students who have to be detained until the exams are over, the Qiu Wei students can go back after each day of exams.
Minglan deliberately made her eyes look at Rulan, which only made her face heat up. Minglan smiled and said: "No matter who you are in the academy, they are all noble officials from good families. After passing the exam, you can propose marriage to your wife."
"
Minglan tried her best to recall which name among the five schools could match 'Brother Jing'. After thinking about it for a long time, Minglan complained in annoyance that she had a pig brain and couldn't remember it at all.
Unexpectedly, after Rulan heard this, Yanxiu's face turned pale and she whispered: "No, it's not them."
Minglan was surprised and blurted out: "Who is that?"
Ru Lan refused to say anything at first, she just lowered her head and sat on the edge of the bed gloomily. Minglan didn't ask any further questions. She knew something was wrong just by looking at Ru Lan's face. The more she knew, the more trouble she would have, so she still ran away now.
That's great; but Ru Lan finally said quietly: "He... is Wen Yanjing, and he is also living in the academy now." - It turns out that it is not Brother Jing, but Brother Jing.
Minglan covered her chest and stopped breathing for a beat. She felt that the fright she received today was too much. Her heart protested a little. After taking a few breaths with difficulty, she exclaimed in a low voice: "Fifth sister, you are crazy! He, he
...It belongs to the fourth sister..." After thinking for a long time, she couldn't go on, so Minglan had to pull Rulan's sleeve: "My wife won't agree!"
Rulan's expression suddenly became sad, her smooth oval face dimmed, and she said dullly: "I know,...but I like him, and he also likes me."
Minglan's mind was in chaos, and she couldn't figure out that these two unrelated people were actually in tune with each other at this moment. She pointed at Rulan, her fingers trembling: "You, you, you..." In the end, she just said
Choking out a sentence: "How did you... get along?"
Rulan raised her head slightly, her eyes were bright, and there was an unspeakable charm on her upright face. This is the kind of expression only a girl in love would have. She said intermittently: "... He has seen me before... Later
, gave me poems and notes..."
Minglan was furious when she heard this. She hated this trick of coaxing a little girl into becoming a disciple. She couldn't help but said loudly: "Do you believe in this method?! Could it be that he lost the marriage of the fourth sister and came to pester you?"
?!"
Rulan was furious, pushed Minglan away, and twisted Minglan's arm hard. Gui complained: "What do you know?! Brother Jing is a real gentleman! Besides, he saw me first!"
"Taking a breath, Ru Lan continued, "Do you still remember that time when Mo Yatou beat you and grounded your father?"
Minglan nodded, it was such a big scene, of course she would remember it.
"After that, dad decided to pay homage to... Wen Gong." As soon as she mentioned her sweetheart, Rulan blushed and blushed, "A few days after you and the old lady went to Youyang, dad and mother invited Wen Gong to come and have tea.
That day I happened to be pretending to be sick and got bored, so I secretly ran to the garden to play. When I passed the Wenzhou Highway, he saw me... He thought I was a little girl, picked up my handkerchief, and smiled at me; later on
, he came a few more times, and each time I was naughty in the garden, thinking I could say a few words, and he said... I am good-looking and energetic, and when people look at me, their hearts light up."
$ Rulan looked shy, her voice became lower and lower as she spoke, but her eyes were extremely sweet: "Later, he knew who I was and that the person his father wanted him to marry was Mo Lan, so he sent a letter saying that his father and brother
I was kind to him, and I didn't dare to disobey him. From then on, there was no news... Until what happened to Mo Yatou, he secretly sent someone to send me a letter the next day, saying that he was so happy that he didn't have to marry Mo Lan.
He said that when the exams start in the spring, he will come back with a name and then come to propose marriage in a dignified manner!"
Minglan was stunned, finally exhaled, and said with confused thoughts: "But didn't you say that... about a poor family, a mean mother, and a brother? Oh, by the way, by the way, and sex.
indecisive!"
Rulan regained her energy, grabbed Minglan, pinched her face twice, widened her eyes and lectured: "Don't talk nonsense! I don't know how nice Brother Jing is!"
Minglan was speechless and slandered: You are the one who said the good and bad things yourself.
After a while, Minglan leaned over gently, rested her chin on Rulan's shoulder, and said softly: "Fifth sister, have you ever thought about it, maybe... he just wants to climb higher..." Before she finished speaking, Rulan
Lan immediately stood up, eyes wide open, and glared at Minglan with murderous intent, almost slapping her to death. Minglan shrank in fear and laughed twice: "Hehe, hehe, sister is just talking."
Rulan sat down on a round stool as if she was angry. The poor stool shook twice. Rulan turned her back to Minglan and said hurriedly: "I know what you mean. You just want to say that I have no idea."
He has no talent, but he has a powerful family background, so Brother Jing just likes Shengfu, not me!"
Minglan was speechless and continued to slander: One day I marry my sister, and another I will marry my sister. This is what everyone thinks.
There seemed to be tears rolling in Ru Lan's eyes, and her tone was bitter: "I know that since I was a child, I can't compare to the splendor and dignity of my eldest sister, I can't compare to Mo Yatou's ability to fawn over, and I can't be as lovable as you; let alone dad.
, even my mother doesn’t think much of me!... But, there is such a person, he... He has taken a fancy to me and liked me since he never knew who I was... He said that he doesn’t like the delicate and delicate
For weak girls, he likes those who are strong and bright, who can run and jump like me, and whose smiles are like the summer sun, which makes people feel comfortable..."
Rulan's expression seemed to be sleepwalking, and she was talking like gibbering. Minglan looked at it and felt very moved in her heart. She couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Even if Wen Gong was admitted to the second rank of Jinshi, I'm afraid my wife won't agree. ." Mo Lan picks up the unwanted things, but Ru Lan treats them as treasures, Wang will go crazy.
Rulan's expression changed, and then she gritted her teeth with determination, punched her palm with a fist, raised her neck, and said in a loud voice: "If you don't let me marry Brother Jing, I'll kill you, or I'll cut my hair for a living." Go!”
Young people in love are the most fearless. Titanic hit an iceberg and was not scared away. The tragedy of thousands of people drowning only made Jack's infatuation, not to mention Ru Lan, who is even more sturdy. At this moment, he is It may not work if Sheng Hong brings his family to bear. Minglan feels that she has said everything she needs to say, so she adds a few words at the end: "But Wen Gong's family background...that...are you willing?")
Rulan understood the meaning of these words, wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, raised her head and snorted proudly, saying: "My eldest sister is married to a high family, and I haven't seen her live a comfortable life! My wife will give me a generous gift I have the support of my mother-in-law’s dowry, let’s see which one of the Wen family dares to chat with me!”
Minglan sighed, feeling that she had nothing to say. She didn't know if Wen Yanjing was a villain who wanted to follow others' influence, but if Brother Changbai could also like him, I guess there would be no problem with the book. Then, he would risk it like this With the risk of losing his reputation, if he dared to come to meet Ru Lan at night, he probably really fell in love with Ru Lan.
Well, everyone is in their own eyes, maybe this is the best thing to do to my brother.
Just as she was about to pat her skirt and leave, Rulan grabbed Minglan, clenched her fists and threatened: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened tonight! Otherwise, otherwise..."
"What else?" Minglan was curious.
Ru Lan pursed her lips, gritted her teeth fiercely, and smiled triumphantly: "Otherwise, I will turn around and say that you are meeting someone at night."
Minglan was not afraid at all, but clapped her hands and laughed: "Then it's good to be in love, so I'll just marry into the Wen family. My father's taste must be good."
Rulan was so shocked that she grabbed Minglan, panting heavily, wishing she could eat Minglan in one bite, and a few words popped out from between her teeth: "...How dare you?!" Minglan laughed repeatedly. He said several times: "Of course I don't dare. So my sister won't sue. There is no benefit in suing me. I don't want to marry Duke Wen."
Rulan's expression relaxed, and her tense nerves were relieved. She was slightly relieved, and she lowered her head shyly and said: "Sixth sister, don't blame me, I know you are a good person, and you have been willing to give in since you were a child. Me, if I get angry at you, you never take it seriously..."
Minglan thought silently: In fact, she took it to heart. Several times, Minglan was so angry that she pretended that Rulan's face was so painful that she flattened the pillow several times.
"You are different from Mo Yatou. She has a bad heart and a poisonous mind. She never cares about her family for her own happiness. Brother Jing is waiting for the exam to start in the spring, so you must not let your wife know about it now. Sister, you have always been... Letter, sister, I will give you some new jewelry from my wife to choose from!" After the coercion, Rulan began to induce.
Minglan waved her hand and sighed softly: "There is no need for jewelry. My sister didn't even see it... Why did my sister become interested in needlework? It turned out to be..." Minglan finally realized that what Rulan was wearing today Many questions have been answered."
After expressing her determination, Minglan was really tired and wanted to go back to sleep. Unexpectedly, it started to rain outside. Rulan was somewhat loyal and was willing to share half of the bed for Minglan to sleep on; Minglan was most afraid of rainy days.
The girls in the courtyard were restless when they went out but didn't want to disturb Danjue and the others in the middle of the night. After thinking about it, it was okay.
"If someone else asks why Miss Six sleeps here, what should she say?" The little magpie who came in to make the bed and folded the quilt was more cautious and decided to get it right first.
Minglan slipped into bed and said casually: "Just tell me, your girl and I watched the stars and the moon together last night and talked about poetry, songs, and life ideals. When we were tired from talking, we fell asleep."
Rulan glared at her and said to the little magpie: "Just tell me that I asked my sixth sister for needlework, but I went to bed late. Tomorrow morning, you can go to Mu Cangzhai to find someone."
Minglan was too lazy to talk nonsense. She was lying in the room and suddenly disappeared. How could such a bad excuse send Dan Ju away? Forget it, let's figure out how to make up the story tomorrow.
Minglan was extremely sleepy and fell asleep. She regretted that she should go back even if it was hailing outside! Rulan was sleeping in various postures, with one thigh lying horizontally on Minglan's belly, almost crushing Minglan.
Minglan, who had lost her breath and was gradually unable to breathe, woke up and used all her strength to move Rulan's thighs away! Sitting on the bedside, looking at Rulan who was sleeping soundly, there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth.
With bright saliva, Minglan rubbed her belly and thought bitterly: Well, you surnamed Wen, if you dare to imitate Zhang Sheng and have a tryst with a lady, you deserve to be crushed to death by Cui Yingying's thighs in the next few decades!
