Minglan let go of her brother Changshu's hand and smiled lightly. The smile was very gentle.
She stood in front of Jia Lan and smiled at him: "Xie Yuanlang helped me last time. Sister Yanran and I will never forget it."
"It's just a little effort."
Jia Lan smiled back and looked at Changshu, Minglan's younger brother, and saw that unlike Changdong, who was slightly dull, Changshu's eyes were bright and lively, much like his sister Minglan.
At this time, Sheng Changfeng couldn't wait to interrupt: "How can it be considered a small effort? I have heard that Xie Yuanlang won consecutive battles, and even allowed the envoys of the Chen Kingdom to return in defeat, showing off the prestige of our country!"
Compared with the aloofness when they first met, Sheng Changfeng now seems to have become a little fan of Jia Lan. He is as excited as if he has met a celebrity, and he keeps chatting with Jia Lan about the polo match. p>
"It's a pity that the Master said that I was not doing well in my studies and forcibly left me to study, causing me to miss a grand event..."
Sheng Changbai glared at his younger brother: "At least I stayed with you that day."
Chang Feng immediately shrank his neck.
Jia Lan blinked, and as soon as his eyes came into contact with Ming Lan, the two of them curled their mouths in tacit agreement, showing a look of laughter.
In fact, Chang Feng completely understood it wrong.
Minglan is thanking Jialan for Yu Yanran.
This has two meanings.
First, everyone including Sheng Changfeng thought that Yu Yanran was thanking Jia Lan for winning back her late mother's hairpin at the polo match.
But besides that, there is one more thing.
What Yu Yanran is most grateful for is that Jia Lan made suggestions and arranged the belongings of her late mother for her at once.
I won the hairpin for Yu Yanran that day, but the worry between her brows did not lighten much.
She knew that this time it was finally over with the help of Minglan and Jialan, but what about next time? What about next time?
Seeing that Yu Yanran was still depressed, Jia Lan asked and learned the whole story.
From the perspective of a bystander, the solution is actually very simple.
Since Yu Yanran can't take good care of it, she should find someone who can take good care of it for her.
It's just that except for Minglan, her best friend, Yu Yanran has no other friends she can rely on, and it's not a problem to store things with Minglan.
Even if Minglan is willing, Yu Yanran doesn't want to trouble the other party to carry the burden for her.
After hearing this, Jia Lan made a suggestion and asked Yu Yanran to pawn all the things.
As soon as these words came out, Yu Yanran and Minglan were immediately shocked.
But Jia Lan pursed his lips and smiled: "Just give me the whole pawn."
The secured party he proposed turned out to be Leng Zixing’s pawnshop, the original antique shop.
Yu Yanran used the method of pawning to exchange for a pawn ticket with a face value of twelve taels. The pawn ticket detailed the list of items to be deposited. The pawn period was eighteen months. After the expiration, the principal and interest were paid, the items were redeemed and then pawned again.
, so that all these items can be properly kept in Yinzipu’s dedicated warehouse.
As for the pawn ticket, Yu Yanran solemnly handed it over to Minglan for safekeeping at Jia Lan's suggestion, and the latter readily agreed.
This formed a closed loop, and Yu Yanhong could not find anything she wanted no matter how hard she tried in the Yu family.
In the end, Jia Lan specially spoke to Yu Yanran, telling her not to reveal anything in front of her sister. It was best to insist that all the things were lost, and then beg Yu Yanhong to return the things to her.<
/p>
This matter was instigated by Yu Yanhong from beginning to end. She absolutely did not want to make the matter bigger, especially if it brought the matter to the old couple Yu Ge, this matter could only end here.
For Yu Yanran, the best ending can only be this.
She has a meek and cowardly temperament, and it is impossible to expect her to take decisive action to counterattack the opponent.
Minglan is happy that her sister Yanran can let go of a huge problem in her heart, and she is also attracted by Jialan's resourcefulness.
Minglan is sincerely happy to see Jia Lan again today.
But Minglan also knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the garden, so she could only suppress her emotions and put on a false mask for herself.
On the contrary, Jia Lan behaved very freely and spoke to Minglan openly. Of course, he also talked about a very safe topic - asking the old lady of the Sheng family how she was doing.
Jia Lan's appearance did attract a lot of attention, and countless eyes were focused on Jia Lan.
One of them was hiding under the winding corridor in the distance, staring at Jia Lan with sinister eyes.
This person is Fang Tangjing, who has not appeared for a long time.
As for his literary talent, Fang Tangjing was only a child, but his family was a wealthy local family in Hejian. It was difficult for others to get an invitation letter, but it was not difficult for his family.
Jia Lan had completely forgotten about Fang Tangjing, but the latter got into trouble and was still brooding about him.
Facing this new Jie Yuan, Jia's Qilin'er, who had shone in previous polo matches and was praised by the emperor, saw that the gap was getting farther and farther. Fang Tangjing felt powerless, jealous and inferior. Back then, when Jialande was the head of the case, he was still able to spread rumors and spread rumors that the other party had used the back door.
But Jialan's Jieyuan is recognized by the world as genuine.
The sentence "The sage's learning from the heavens keeps pace with the times" completely eliminated all doubts about his knowledge. How can someone who can write such an article be a sidetracker?
The less angry you are, the more jealous you are; the more jealous you are, the more you feel inferior.
Jia Lan's spiritual sense was keen, and he immediately noticed the clues of Fang Tangjing's unabashed malice. With his eyes moving, he quickly locked the direction of the malice.
Fang Tangjing was startled by Jia Lan's sudden turn of his head, and quickly turned around, feeling lingering fear in his heart.
Although they were far away, Jia Lan's eyes seemed to see through the person all at once, making Fang Tangjing tremble all over.
"Brother Lan, what are you looking at?" Qin Zhong asked.
"Nothing, let's go visit some gentlemen first."
Jia Lan said goodbye to Changbai Gong, and Mo Lan finally found the opportunity to take a step forward. She raised her pink skirt gently, put on a beautiful figure, and looked at Jia Lan with a charming face, congratulating her softly: "Mo Lan
I wish Jieyuanlang a brilliant performance in tonight’s poetry show.”
Ru Lan, who was juxtaposed with Mo Lan, was on guard against all odds, but she didn't expect that the little vixen would take advantage of her at the end. So not to be outdone, she interrupted the charming atmosphere created by Mo Lan with a clear voice, and greeted Jia cheerfully.
Lan smiled and said some blessings.
Only Minglan never spoke and smiled.
As two generations of people, Jia Lan is closer to Sheng Rulan, who has a cheerful personality, compared to Sheng Mo Lan's "tea-colored beauty", but he doesn't want to easily offend a little girl like Mo Lan, so he responds with a calm smile.
"Brother Bai, I want to go and see Mr. Shaoting first and say goodbye first."
Changbai nodded: "It's time to pay a visit, so as not to lose etiquette. It just so happens that I can discuss knowledge with the two seniors."
Liang Yong and Qin Zhong waved their hands modestly upon hearing this.
"Okay, see you later." Jia Lan smiled, leaving Wu Gui and Qin Shi behind, and walked all the way to the garden with Ban'er and Jia Yun.
Famous people gathered in Guiyuan Fuli Hall, and the top person among them was a Confucian scholar who was over fifty years old. People around him were extremely respectful to him.
Because of this, he is the owner of Gui Shou Garden. Kong Jirui, the first Confucian scholar today and the successor of Duke Yan Sheng, is known as Mr. Shaoting.
Kong Jirui is the grandson of the ancestor Yanshenggong Kong Yinhuan. His father died young, and his three remaining sons, Jizhen, Jifu, and Jirui, were raised and taught by his grandfather himself.
Ji Rui was the youngest and a dull child. He was often punished by his grandfather with a bamboo board. Ji Rui was punished silently. His grandfather was surprised and said to him: "Grandpa loves his grandson!" At the age of twelve, Kong Yinhuan was about to divide the property and hesitated while holding a land certificate.
, summoned Jizhen, Jifu, and Jirui in front of the hall and asked: "With Jizhen, Jifu will be damaged. What can I do?"
Ji Zhen and Ji Fu were silent, but Ji Rui responded: "You can harm me, but don't harm your second brother."
Yan Shenggong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Are you a stubborn person?" From then on, it became more and more joyful.
When Ji Rui grew up, he went on a trip and returned when he was forty years old. At that time, his two brothers both passed away. A few years later, Kong Yinhuan, the Duke of Yan Sheng, passed away. Ji Rui succeeded him in the title. It was the middle of the year of Emperor Jiayou. The emperor had heard that Ji Rui was a wise man.
He was summoned to Beijing to have an in-depth discussion with him, and he was impressed by Ji Ruicai and stayed as a doctor.
Guishuyuan is still nominally the property of the Confucian family, and Mr. Shaoting is the head of the Confucian sect. The momentum of the Guishuyuan Poetry Society is unparalleled in the world.
Kong Jirui was chatting with several old scholars around him when suddenly someone came to report that Xie Yuan of Shuntian Prefecture had come to see Mr. Shaoting. Kong Jirui, who had only heard the name of Jia Lan but had not yet seen his true face, was obviously a little curious.
