"Didn't I tell you, I'll go back alone, what are you doing?"
In the troika covered with azurite thin silk felt, Minglan held a tea can and asked in a low voice with a stern face.
Since the mother was not yet a month old, most of the three baptismal rites were attended by the female family members, and there was generally no big banquet. Wang only had a small lunch to entertain her. After lunch, she took a short nap, and the female family members of each family left one after another. Just as Minglan was also When it was time to say goodbye, Gu Tingye came. After chatting with Sheng Hong for a few words, the couple said goodbye.
Gu Tingye couldn't laugh or cry. Just now he went to the Sheng Mansion to pick up his wife. Minglan looked like a shy young daughter-in-law and hinted to him very virtuously - 'Mr., it's too tiring to ride a horse back and forth, so why not ride a carriage back home'.
Seeing Ming Lan's pink face turn red and her bright eyes like water, Gu Tingye's heart felt hot and he excitedly got into the carriage. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got on the carriage, he poured a ladle of cold water on his head...
"It's just a way, what's the big deal?" Gu Tingye looked at Minglan's forehead in amusement, his fingers were itchy for a moment and he wanted to pinch her.
"You think I don't know the way." Minglan felt that her IQ had been ignored, and immediately took out three teacups and placed them on the small table, "The imperial city is here, our family is here, my mother's family is here... Why are you passing by by 'just'?!"
In abbreviated scale, the Gu Mansion is roughly located in the first ring road, the Sheng family is in the second ring road, and Gu Tingye's workplace is in Zhongnanhai.
Gu Tingye looked at Minglan's bulging cheeks, arranging the tea cups as if a child was setting up a drawing board, and finally couldn't help but reached out and pinched Minglan's cheeks, and said with a smile: "I'll accompany Mr. Bo after the morning meeting." I went to the Xishan camp for a tour, and when it was almost time, I came to look for you... Wouldn't it be better to support you at my parents' house?"
"It's not very good." Minglan covered her cheek and said seriously, "You'd better be more distant from me in front of others. As long as you are polite in person, it's best not to have other concerns."
Gu Tingye stared at Minglan in surprise. He vaguely remembered that he didn't go to pick up Yu Yanhong from her parents' home that year. Later, she made such a fuss that the roof of the house was almost lifted off. In other words, the first marriage left him with Many profound lessons were learned.
"Didn't you just see the expressions on my wife's, aunt's, and sister's faces? They are as black as the bottom of a pot." Fortunately, there was a decent brother-in-law, Wen, who had an early break at the Hanlin Academy one day and went to the mountain gate to pick him up. His wife went to offer incense, so Rulan didn't react at all. After boasting a few words proudly, she only teased Minglan a few times.
Minglan looked at Gu Tingye with a surprised look on her face, and explained very patiently, "I was not born to my wife. I just married better than several of my sisters. I was granted a royal title, and I set up a house to live in another house. Now I still have to wait until I meet my husband." I'm good, don't I take advantage of all the good things? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? If there is any injustice, there will be resentment; if there is no injustice, it is true that I have to suffer some idleness in vain!"
This was the first time Gu Tingye heard this kind of truth about women. He thought for a moment and remembered the middle-aged woman with a sour face standing next to Wang. She seemed to be called "Aunt Kang". There was something vaguely hidden in the woman's eyes. Angry, Gu Tingye looked at Minglan and said in a deep voice: "Someone... is jealous of you? Is he bullying you?"
Minglan shook her head: "One more thing is better than one less thing. The so-called harmony is that we are a family. We all have the best life, so we don't want to appear too special. This is one thing. Secondly, if I look like I'm too dignified in front of you, but later on someone asks me to come to you for help. Why should I help or not recommend someone for promotion and performance evaluation?"
It is better for a married daughter to keep a low profile in front of her relatives. Don't show off. Even if you really have capital, don't brag. Otherwise, those who borrow money, those who borrow accommodation, those who ask for services, those who ask for this and that... will be in a bit of trouble.
If you don't agree, there will be a volcano of sarcasm waiting for you - who told you to blow it in the first place!
Gu Tingye was stunned for a while, then hesitantly said: "Therefore... I shouldn't be too close to you at your parents' house?"
"Exactly." Minglan saw that he finally understood, and she was happy, "It's better to look very stern and fierce."
Gu Tingye looked at Minglan and felt puzzled: "What about your face?"
"If my relatives and elders come to complain to you, will you come to reprimand me?" Minglan asked with a smile.
"No." Gu Tingye rejected it flatly.
"I manage household affairs, will you refute my authority?"
"I'm full and can't hold on?!" Gu Tingye laughed.
"I want to wear new clothes, buy new jewelry, and do what I want to do. Will you not allow it?"
"As long as you don't have evil thoughts, you can do anything!" Gu Tingye had a straight face, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Minglan waved her sleeves, hugged her husband's strong arm in a flattering way, and said with a smile: "Then it's over. I've got everything inside, so you can do whatever you want! From the outside, it seems that it's not easy for me to make a living under you, so maybe you'll treat me badly.
I'm better!"
Gu Tingye's eyes flashed slightly, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly, he dragged the cheerful Minglan in front of him, grabbed it with one hand, and said with a smile: "I'll give you a summary. What do you mean, you want to give me a break for my husband?"
Bring me some white and tender lamb skin so that you, a cunning little fox cub, can wear it tightly, right?"
Minglan's big clear eyes flickered, very naive and innocent: "My husband's command of the army should be compared to the art of war. It is said that 'the enemy is bright and we are hidden, and good is the best method'."
This has to do with the art of war! Gu Tingye was so angry and funny, he pulled Minglan into his arms, and with both arms, Minglan whined like an unweaned cub.
He struggled, then buried his head between her shoulders and neck, touching a soft and fragrant fragrance, and he just laughed muffledly.
When he raised his head, he smiled and said, "Have you finished your lunch?"
Minglan covered her temples and broke free from his iron arm, trying hard to put on her makeup: "When I go back to my parents' house once in a while, how can I eat like a starving ghost?" - not to mention that there was Aunt Kang sitting across from her with a bitter look on her face.
"That's good! It has been a 40-year-old rule of Marshal Bo that in the military camp, you must eat and drink like soldiers. I hid out under the pretext of seeing the armory. I haven't eaten yet! I'll take you to Tianxiang
Eat upstairs!" Gu Tingye laughed loudly.
Minglan had a joking look on her face, pointing her onion-like index finger at the man, a deep smile spread across her lips, and she deliberately said softly: "You are a dandy, you can't bear any pain, be careful to let Mr. Bo know about it."
, I’ll deal with you severely!”
"Is there a dandy as brave and capable as me?!" Gu Tingye pretended to glare and said, "Stop talking nonsense, are you going or not?"
"Go, go!" Minglan said quickly, with joy on her face. "They say that the crispy pigeons and Buddha jumping over the wall at Tianxiang Tower are unique in Beijing, but I just haven't had the chance to try them." Tianxiang Tower is a famous restaurant in Beijing.
Specializing in entertaining wealthy officials, there is a special private room upstairs for the female family members to hold banquets. Mrs. Wang took Ru Lan there, Aunt Lin also took Mo Lan there, and Hua Lan thought about taking Minglan there after knowing about it.
, but when Hua Lan was about to go out that day, something happened to her mother-in-law, so she had to give up.
Seeing Minglan's face full of excitement and joy, Gu Tingye felt a little bitter in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He just hugged Minglan and smiled and said: "The capital gathers delicious food from all over the world. I will take you to another restaurant later, 'Fragrance from the Four Seas' Douban
The fish and spicy Sichuan pepper chicken are really delicious, as well as the Dongpo pork and honey-glazed barbecued pork from the 'Kouikou Pavilion'..." He listed all his treasures and commented gushingly. Minglan clapped her hands and applauded with a smile on her face, secretly thinking
Le - It's not unfair to call this guy a dandy. If I were not his wife, but his buddy, I guess he might have taken me to the red light district at this moment, and maybe he could even rate the famous brothels in Beijing.
Second and third class, by the way, they are ranked based on their service attitude, charging standards and supply quality.
"But..." Minglan suddenly remembered something and said hesitantly, "It's already this hour, are there still seats available in Xianglou that day?" If she were a man, she wouldn't mind sitting in the lobby, but in this world, how can a woman show her face easily?
I wonder if there are private rooms.
Gu Tingye was speaking with great enthusiasm. When he heard this, he sneered, raised his head and said arrogantly: "Who do you think I am? Even if I don't have it, I have to have it!"
This sentence had a bit of a flavor of the Funiu Mountain hero who robbed the rich and gave to the poor. Minglan suddenly realized that she could not be blamed for her lack of imagination. It was a pity that her predecessor had never seen a living powerful person, and then he died in the line of duty. After reincarnation,
Sheng Hong cherished his official reputation and never wanted to go beyond the limits. He never thought that he would be lucky enough to be a member of the privileged class.
She looked excited, her two chubby little hands fluttered on Gu Tingye's arms, her eyes were dancing with excitement, she leaned over excitedly and stammered: "Could it be that I, we...can drive away the guests of Tianxiang Tower?
Then sit in their seats?"
"I can drive away the chef of Tianxiang Tower and let you make fish soup there!" Gu Tingye chuckled, sneered, and rolled his eyes at Minglan, scolding, "Think about your identity, you have some potential!
"
Minglan's eyes lit up and she became even more excited. She tried her best to restrain her stammering: "Well, then...can we have a meal without paying?" Eating the Overlord's Meal is the second most compulsory course for playboys and bullies in all movies and TV dramas. The first is
What is the major item? No need to ask.
Gu Tingye almost choked on his saliva and stared at Minglan for a quarter of an hour before sighing: "Madam, can you be more promising, just a little bit?"
…
After that visit, Gu Tingye saw that Minglan enjoyed her meal, so she often brought some of the restaurant's signature dishes when she returned home. One moment it was grilled ginger ribs wrapped in green lotus leaves, and the other moment it was fish and mutton in bamboo tubes.
Three fresh soups, and even duck blood vermicelli soup and large wontons stuffed with wild mushrooms found at some nook and corner roadside stall. The game was fragrant and so delicious that Minglan almost swallowed the spoon. Gu Tingye
As expected, it lived up to its reputation and has never brought back a dish again.
Minglan sighed deeply while eating: There is indeed no shortage of beauty in this world, but what is lacking is the eyes to discover beauty - marrying a dandy is also beneficial, at least Brother Changbai can't find such a delicious burnt-flavored silver eel bucket.
Every time Minglan ate happily, Gu Tingye would watch her eating with a smile. Minglan was busy eating and didn't notice that there was a strange inquiry in her husband's eyes, which seemed to imply spying. When you are free,
In addition, the couple chatted all over the world, from anecdotes about the world to court affairs. Gu Tingye liked this warm and playful atmosphere very much. They often gossiped without a word, and the conversation was far away. He couldn't stay in the study for a long time.
Mr. Gongsun arrived and couldn't help but send someone to call Gu Tingye.
After several times, Mr. Gongsun couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Wei Dao Fang Weng's mother must divorce Tang Wan!" The relationship between husband and wife is too good, and men often forget to work hard and make progress.
Unexpectedly, Minglan's eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "I heard that the husband that Mrs. Tang married later was better than Lu You in terms of family background, talent and appearance. Is this true?" Yao Yi vaguely heard that
Go through this gossip.
Mr. Gongsun was about to speak when he saw Gu Tingye's eyes shining brightly on the side. He coughed lightly and said seriously: "It's absolutely not the case. Mrs. Tang Wan has been depressed and unhappy since her second marriage and misses Lu Wuguan all day long."
Gu Tingye smiled and refilled Mr. Gongsun's cup of tea.
Gongsun Baishi was originally from a middle-class gentry family in southern Shaanxi. After failing in the eight-part imperial examination, he simply turned to the mountains and rivers. Anyway, he had an elder brother who fulfilled his filial piety, and his family was rich, so he had no worries about livelihood. He visited celebrities all the way and discussed current affairs.
In the past twenty years, I have traveled to places of interest, but I have gone further and further off the beaten track. A few years ago, I encountered a group of unethical bandits in a remote wilderness. They not only robbed me of money, but also killed my mouth. Fortunately, Gu Tingye saw an injustice on the road and saved him.
One life.
Knowing that he could repay his kindness, Mr. Gongsun became Gu Tingye's master. Later, he heard that after the death of his eldest brother, his younger nephew Gongsun Meng did not like studying in the imperial examination. His grandparents could not discipline him, so they simply sent him here and left him to his uncle.
Education, and by the way, I followed Gu Tingye to practice some skills. It was just a leisure show, just for the intermission of the tour. Unexpectedly, Gu Tingye's fortune changed, and Gongsun Baishi also rose. Now he is the number one aide around Gu Tingye, and he is also well-known in Beijing.
.
After occupying a high position, Gu Tingye, who relied on his strong martial arts skills, was impatient to bring bodyguards. At Gongsun Meng's insistence, he was accompanied by military soldiers when he left the city.
Gongsun Meng learned some martial arts from the Tu brothers and read some books when he had time.
"If there is peace, I won't be so troubled, but now the emperor..." Mr. Gongsun was worried, and the breeze blew in the pavilion. He held up a piece of white and hesitated to place it in front of the chessboard, "Dali Temple, Ministry of Punishment, Imperial Order
The prison is open day and night, and people are taken in for interrogation every month. Some... never come out again, and simply go to prison."
Minglan thought for a while and said: "King Jing rebelled and Jie Nu came to invade. At the critical moment, half of the three major battalions were mobilized unfavorably, which vaguely implicated most of the capital. Fortunately, the emperor had a backup plan. Fortunately, I had
It's a close call. I'm afraid the emperor won't let it go."
Mr. Gongsun nodded: "Liu Zhengjie is now in charge of the imperial guards. He was originally the captain of the Eighth Prince's Palace Guards. He was highly trusted by the emperor and acted most fiercely. The emperor used to keep filial piety for the late emperor and sent down a group of relatives and nobles.
It was originally meant to intimidate, but it was a pity that some people could not see clearly, but instead became more and more excited. Yesterday, the emperor only mentioned the faults of a few border officials, and there was a heated debate in the court, which showed that the water was deep below. Let's talk about the military camp.
When the governor first took charge of the army, he discovered unnecessary shortcomings in the army, such as empty pay, stealing military rations, occupying civilian land, using military pay as interest, privately opening border trade, and the inventory of equipment and equipment was mostly empty... All these and other things are shocking! "
Minglan smiled, as if he didn't care: "The late emperor was benevolent, took corvee lightly and paid little in taxes, was frugal and courteous, lived with the people, and treated all officials and relatives well, which was quite a literary and artistic style. Now the national treasury is full, and the people are still well-fed and well-fed.
"
"But the powerful are increasingly demanding people's wealth, only seeking personal gain and enriching their own pockets..."
"So if you loot the house, you will get twice as much profit!" Minglan quickly added, "You can get a lot of money! The wealth of an Anhui governor can cover half a year's salt tax. The two rebellious earls and a marquis
If the house is confiscated, the treasury will have a surplus for most of the year!"
Mr. Gongsun couldn't help laughing, and his beard flew up a few times as he smiled: "That's true! Even after being beaten with the cane twice, the treasury is still empty."
Minglan smiled and ridiculed: "In prosperous times, there are always some small flaws. The previous emperor's political platform was mainly benevolent, but the current emperor is resolute and courageous. He is relaxed and relaxed. This is the atmosphere of the prosperity of our dynasty. The 'Jingtan Rebellion' has caused disasters.
Three provinces and four places, but the emperor allotted the fields of several vassals and concubines to the people in one breath, and now they are gradually recovering." People who engage in politics always like to look worried about the country and the people, she added.
: "What's more, if the governor doesn't follow the emperor, what else can he do?"
Mr. Gongsun thought for a moment and could only nod with a wry smile - without the Eighth Prince, Gu Tingye would still be just a wealthy man.
"Just act cautiously and don't move forward too boldly. It's always bad to offend too many people." Minglan whispered. ChairmanMao said it well. Strategically, you should despise the opponent, but tactically, you should pay attention to it.
Mr. Gongsun smiled easily and said: "It doesn't matter. The governor is a man who is both rough and fine. Besides, he has made friends with all kinds of religions and is not a young man without a city."
After playing three games in a row, Minglan and Gongsun won one, lost one, and tied. Both sides were very dissatisfied. They thought they were chess masters. In spite of their dissatisfaction, the two agreed to decide the outcome one day! Old Man Gongsun
Relying on her good memory, she muttered some words and left empty-handed. Minglan became more modest and asked Xiaotao to go back to the room with the chessboard, intending to study the end game.
At this time, someone from outside came to report: Cui Wei came with her husband and children.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Cuiwei gave birth to a daughter. She gained a lot of weight, and her round and red face looked good. She cried when she saw Minglan, and she even held Xiao Tao Lv Zhi and cried together, talking for a while.
She smiled and said that she didn't think what everyone was thinking. The girls were all happy and asked about the current situation.
"I'm still an old lady and want to keep the girl for a while before marrying her. It should be next year anyway. Who knew that the girl would marry so early and I would not be able to return to Beijing in time!" Cui Wei wiped her tears and smiled.
"Who told our wife to be attractive? The master came to propose marriage early in the morning and was in a hurry to get married!" Luzhi smiled.
Cui smiled and glared: "You are so sharp-tongued, be careful not to get married in the future!"
Luzhi blushed for a while and went to hit the person angrily. Danjue looked sincere and immediately expressed comfort: "Sister Luzhi, don't worry, my wife will definitely find you a good son-in-law!" Luzhi became even more embarrassed and shouted at her.
They chased and beat him all over the place.
After a burst of laughter, the girls retreated, and Minglan called Cuiwei and his wife alone to talk. Cuiwei's husband-in-law was named He Youchang. He was the son of the housekeeper Lao He who stayed at the old house in Jinling. He had a round face and a clean face.
He is loyal and considerate; standing together, the couple looks quite similar.
"Your father belongs to the old lady. I have always trusted you. You are young after all. You will start as a concierge first, and then learn to be a manager. You will see how your eyebrows are raised and your speech is decent. At least you can figure out the affairs of the outer courtyard first.
Let’s talk later.” After the greetings, Minglan held a bowl of tea and smiled slowly, “Your children are still young, and Cui Wei couldn’t leave all day and night, so she first helped Liao Yong’s wife and watched some for me.
, she is a sensible person and knows how to do it.”
Cui Wei and He Youchang are both smart people and know a lot about the situation in the Gu family. Now that Minglan has no trustworthy person in the inner and outer courtyards, they have to be her ears and eyes to find out the details of each manager for her.
The mutual involvement between internal and external events will lead to promotion and rewards.
After the couple came out, they smiled and looked at the scenery of Gu's mansion while talking in a low voice.
"Madam is a nostalgic person. I heard that originally my wife wanted to send someone from another house to marry me, but she asked the old lady to force us to come from Jinling." He Youchang sighed. He was in his prime, so naturally
Knowing that there is a big difference between visiting an old house in Jinling and working as an errand in a powerful family in the capital, "It's also thanks to you."
"...We have to work hard and share Madam's worries." Cuiwei looked at her husband tenderly, raised her head and said, "When I went to her courtyard that year, she said to me and Danju and the others, 'Here you are.
Managing these little girls with authority is not only to restrain them, but also to test you. Now it seems that she may have noticed something wrong with Yancao early on; we must act with a sense of fairness, if we do it wrong, we will be ruined.
It's easy to say, if you let Madam know about her evil intentions... Madam's eyes are bright, but there is no sand in her eyes!"
He Youchang respected his wife and said with a smile: "It's natural! Before we went out, my father lectured me for two whole nights; he said that it would be best to meet a good and understanding master, but as long as one has a loyal heart, he will not
You will suffer a loss."
In fact, Minglan hoped that Cuiwei would not be too busy. Not only did her daughter have to take care of her when she was young, it would be better to have more children while she was young, so that she would have hope for the future. There was no way, in ancient times. For example, if Haishi and Hualan had only one boy,
Minglan's choice, she would choose to let Hua Lan have a son and Hei Shi have a daughter. Without it, Hua Lan's situation would be worse, and Hei Shi's life would be comfortable.
A few days later, someone came to report that Hua Lan had given birth to a baby.
In order not to be late, Minglan got up early on the day of the third bath and dressed up early. She simply wore a plain moon-white engraved silk-embroidered dark pattern Baozhuang flower long coat, and a crimson elastic patterned dark-patterned armor on the outer cover. There was a slanted horse tied on her head.
The bottom of the bun is looming with three or four large, round and bright pearls about the size of a thumb, and then a very delicate large red gold butterfly hairpin with colorful inlays and purple treasures is placed on it. The butterfly's emerald tentacles can't help trembling. The little peach is freshly cut in the hand.
Minglan picked a magnolia flower as big as the mouth of a cup and inserted it sideways on her temples. She looked into the mirror and saw the lingering fragrance, freshness and beauty.
It adds even more beauty.
Minglan sighed deeply for the nth time, and thought wildly: This appearance is really wrong! If we were to go back in time to troubled times, it would not be a big problem to be a demon concubine, but I don't know whether she will end up with the Hunjun, or continue to be the new monarch.
Serve.
Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion is located in the Third Ring Road. Minglan drove around in the carriage for almost two hours before arriving. Xiaotao climbed into the carriage and arranged Minglan's makeup before the master and servant got out of the car. Wang was very excited when she saw Minglan coming.
Morning, with a smile on her face, Aunt Kang still had a sinister look. As soon as Rulan saw Minglan, she pulled her sleeve, leaned into her ear and smiled: "My husband will come to pick me up today!"
After finishing, he glanced sideways at Minglan, smiling, looking proud of showing off.
Minglan almost looked up and was speechless. She gritted her teeth and leaned into her ear: "It's not in vain that you ran out to meet him in the middle of the night. ~"
Rulan's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Minglan hatefully. She tilted her mouth and couldn't hide the intention of laughing, so she had to twist Minglan's arm twice. Minglan couldn't help but whisper softly, "Oh, what happened yesterday?"
The one pinched out by the alpha wolf is not healed yet.
Mo Lan only watched coldly.
When she saw Hua Lan, Minglan was immediately shocked. She saw Hua Lan lying on the bed, with a spring brocade handkerchief wrapped around her head. Although she had tidied it up deliberately and her clothes were clean and tidy, she still couldn't hide her expression.
Sallow, haggard and thin; compared to Heide's white, plump and round figure, Hua Lan hardly looks like she has given birth to a baby, but rather looks like she is suffering from a serious illness.
Mrs. Wang hurriedly rushed forward and screamed "baby" one after another. Hua Lan just smiled and said: "...This pregnancy is not good, just take it easy and it will be fine." She spoke weakly and couldn't help but gasp for breath.
.
Looking at the little baby, he was also very sick. He was so thin that he couldn't even hear his cries. After taking off his clothes and washing him for three hours, he whimpered a few times like a sick cat and stopped moving much.
Minglan remembered that when Haishi's daughter took her third bath, her fat little hands and feet started to struggle, splashing water all over the floor, and she was so excited!
Everyone present looked suspicious. They turned to look at Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They saw that Mrs. Yuan seemed a little embarrassed. She lowered her head to talk to her mother-in-law, Aunt Zhang, but Mrs. Yuan looked calm and did not see other people's eyes.
Confused, he actually wrote lightly: "I have told my second daughter-in-law that this pregnancy is not good, so we need to be more careful, but she just..."
While talking, Hua Lan actually scolded Hua Lan for not coming, and the other female relatives couldn't talk to each other, so they just smiled and listened. Wang secretly resented that because there were so many people present, she couldn't question him on the spot, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Mo Lan calmly lowered his head and drank tea, feeling quite happy.
Minglan turned slightly to look at Hualan, but saw her lowering her head, with a hint of resentment in her eyes. Minglan felt sad. She sat on the head of Hualan's bed and gently stroked the back of her thin hand. Suddenly, it felt hot, and all she could see was the back of her hand.
Put a drop of moisture on it.
Minglan felt sour and bitter, and held her hand tightly.
Ru Lan was very nervous and reacted slower than others. It was difficult to see that something was wrong with Hua Lan. Once she found out, she immediately got angry. She stood up and said loudly to Mrs. Yuan: "Why is my sister so thin?"
, are you sick?"
As soon as these words came out, the room immediately became quiet. Sometimes the arrogant ones are afraid of being arrogant. Ru Lan stared and looked straight at Yuan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Mrs. Yuan's face immediately darkened: "Why are my aunts talking? This woman's family
There are good and bad consequences to having a baby! You will know after you give birth to a baby yourself!"
These words are effective for blocking ordinary young wives, but unfortunately Ru Lan is not the same. She is the contemporary Cui Yingying who climbs the rocks in the middle of the night to have a tryst. Sure enough, she took a few steps forward and said louder: "No need to wait, I'm here to say hello to you."
Oh! Did you stuff a lot of concubines into my sister's room again?" - This was Mrs. Yuan's masterpiece when Hualan had her first miscarriage.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Mrs. Yuan's face turned red, the tea bowl in her hand kept clinking, and the surrounding people were laughing.
"That means you forced my sister to stand upright for you with her big belly again!" Rulan's finger almost pointed to the tip of Mrs. Yuan's nose - this was Mrs. Yuan's idea when Hualan Huaizhuang was a child.
"How presumptuous! You are too deceptive!" Mrs. Yuan was trembling all over, and the mocking glances of the female relatives became more and more explicit.
"Or are you forcing my sister to take care of the house for you while pregnant?" Mrs. Yuan is not Sheng Hong, so Ru Lan is not afraid at all - this is a new trick that Hua Lan Huaishi only used when he was a child.
"You, you, you..." It was the first time for Mrs. Yuan to meet such an outspoken and aggressive woman. She didn't know what to say for a moment, and Minglan secretly cried out in joy.
Among the ladies and ladies present here, except for Mrs. Shoushanbo who returned to her hometown for business but could not come, and the married Yuan Wenying, many of them are female relatives who often interact with Uncle Zhongqin's house. There are quite a few who know the details of the Yuan family, and most of them smile to themselves. Only a few frowned slightly.
Grandma Yuan hurriedly supported her mother-in-law and said in a sharp voice: "My dear aunt, please have some moral integrity. Is it possible that if my siblings behave badly, it's all our fault?!"
Who knows that Ru Lan has a natural look on her face: "That's natural! Anyway, if there is something wrong with my sister, it must be your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who bully her! Look at you two, you are so fat and white, your chin is double-layered, if you If you really treat my sister well, the person who looks after her should also lose weight!"
Minglan almost burst into laughter. When she met such an unreasonable person and Wang did not stop her, Grandma Yuan could only remain silent. She secretly touched her double chin, turned around and sat down with her head lowered in shame and anger. Hualan said weakly: "Ru'er, stop talking..."
Mrs. Yuan regained her breath and said sternly: "You girls from the Sheng family are so precious that our Yuan family can't afford to take care of them, so just take her back as soon as possible!"
When everyone saw what had happened, they knew it was not good and started to persuade Mrs. Yuan to calm down. Mrs. Yuan took Qiao with a cold face. Hualan was angry and anxious; Minglan stood up in shock and stared coldly. Mrs. Yuan: "The in-laws have explained it clearly! What does 'taking back' mean? The in-laws have to issue a letter of divorce!" Her tone was cold and hard.
Mrs. Yuan never expected in her wildest dreams that the Sheng family would dare to question her directly, and she would pretend that the Sheng family would say a few nice words, and then go down the steps to settle the matter.
Minglan narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze was sharp, and she said slowly word by word: "Mrs. Yuan has made it clear! Do you want to divorce your wife?"
With the current momentum of the Sheng family, although it is not as good as the Yuan family, it is more than enough. Mrs. Yuan knew very well that if Hualan was kicked out of the house, she would be kicked out as well. She turned her head angrily. ,not talking anymore.
When Aunt Zhang saw something was wrong, she quickly came over to smooth things over: "What angry words did my aunt say? What my elder sister meant was to ask my nephew's wife to go back to her parents' house to recuperate, so she can take good care of her, right?"
"I see." Minglan smiled with contempt in her eyes, "I misunderstood."
Minglan walked over slowly, pulled the angry Rulan to sit down, and said with a gentle smile: "Ladies and grandmothers, don't blame my sister for being speechless. She is the most outspoken and can't hide any doubts in her heart. of."
Minglan is now the second-grade imperial conferred official, and she has the highest status among the women present. All the female relatives can only fawn over, and there is no doubt. Some of them even laughed and said, "Yes, yes," Mrs. Yuan's back was filled with anger. Pass over.
Minglan smiled again and said: "No wonder my fifth sister made random guesses, but it's such a coincidence. Every time my eldest sister is pregnant, there are always some stories to come out. Those who know will say 'what a coincidence', those who don't know I also think that my in-laws are very mean to my eldest sister and prefer my niece! But we ourselves know that, and my in-laws will definitely not be like this!"
Nonsense! Even if the mother-in-law did it unintentionally, the daughter-in-law had to be careful after several accidents during pregnancy. How could she be so eager to find trouble? Mrs. Yuan's chest was rising and falling with anger, and her heart was about to explode, but she
She couldn't say anything; the female relatives around her were looking at her with all kinds of indifference or ridicule, which made her even faint from anger.
"My in-laws are indeed very sharp-tongued," Mrs. Yuan sarcastically said, "I am so lucky to marry a daughter of your Sheng family!"
Minglan smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just telling the truth. If this junior has any inappropriate words, please don't blame me. Just point it out and I will definitely change it next time!"
Mrs. Wang looked kind-hearted, secretly exhaled, and finally felt a little more comfortable, and said loudly: "My in-laws don't have to worry about my family. All the girls in my family, no more, no less, just got married last month! Now the Lao Sheng family
The only one who is waiting for marriage is my fat granddaughter who is more than ten days old, and she is still very early to get married."
After saying that, there was a burst of laughter in the room. Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed, the female relatives quickly started laughing and joking.
Mrs. Yuan looked at Ru Lan who was showing her teeth and was about to scold, and then at Ming Lan who had a warm look on her face. One of them was in a bad situation, and the other was a smiling tiger. She knew that she would never get away with it today, so she simply stopped talking; because she was angry in her heart, and she even
He didn't stay for lunch, he only complained that he had a headache and felt unwell. When all the female guests saw that the Yuan family had issued an eviction order, they all left one after another.
Minglan watched with cold eyes and saw that many of the female guests were slightly dissatisfied, and a few simply made sarcastic remarks, knowing that Mrs. Yuan's popularity was not very good.
As expected, brother-in-law Wen came to pick up Ru Lan. Ming Lan suspected that he had been secretly waiting nearby and came specifically to make Ru Lan look good. Under the envious eyes of everyone, Ru Lan left happily and proudly, just as Ming Lan was about to leave too.
, suddenly a boy from the Yuan family came to deliver a message:
"The second master said that he will come back with Governor Gu in a while. I just heard today that Mr. Bo's wife is ill, so I asked Mrs. Gu to stay for a while until the second master and the governor return home."
Visiting a sick person."
Bo Tianzhou has been in semi-retirement since he returned the military talisman. He has been living in a village on the outskirts of Beijing to take care of himself, which is close to Uncle Zhongqin's house. Minglan pondered for a moment, then went to see Mrs. Yuan and said with a smile: "This is amazing.
What to do?”
Mrs. Wang quickly added firewood: "If it's inconvenient for my wife, my Minglan can wait at the door."
Mrs. Yuan was very angry today, and she almost suffered from cerebral hemorrhage. If Minglan really waited at the door today, then the Yuan family would become the laughing stock of the whole capital tomorrow. She gritted her teeth again and again, and finally endured it.
He yelled at the girl next to him: "Why don't you prepare tea for Mrs. Gu!"
…
14th floor
Minglan walked slowly back to Hualan's house. Hualan had already believed it. She smiled and asked her sister to sit next to her. While asking the maid to serve tea and fruit snacks, she kept asking Minglan how she would be after her marriage. After Minglan heard
Hualan Napa covered the corners of her eyes and was happy for her. When Minglan mentioned the troubles, she gave her some bad advice. The two sisters talked affectionately for a long time.
Minglan looked around, motioned Cui Chan to go to the door to look, and whispered: "Sister, what's going on? Are you really not going to say anything? Since Mrs. He told you about important matters, are you going to
You will neglect yourself during pregnancy."
Hua Lan was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly moistened. Remembering that a mother who gave birth could not cry, she quickly held it back and choked out: "I knew...it's just other people, but you, I can't hide it."
"What's going on!"
Hua Lan suddenly said loudly: "Cuichan, go and fetch Brother Shi, and then bring Sister Zhuang; Sister Yin, keep a close eye on the doors and windows!"
There was a response from outside.
Hua Lan held Minglan's hand tightly, her voice choked with sobs: "That, that... that damn old woman! She is so deceiving! Ever since I became pregnant, she has proposed that Brother Shi should be raised in her house.
!”
"Really?" Minglan exclaimed.
Hua Lan said bitterly: "In ordinary people, it is common for grandmothers to raise grandchildren; but, but...that damn old woman has been deliberately teasing me, how can I rest assured?!...Your brother-in-law also refused, so he just kept procrastinating.
It was so perfunctory that two months ago, this damn old woman suddenly pretended to be sick, and even found a Taoist woman. She kept telling her that Brother Shi's horoscope was very popular with her, and if she wanted to get better, Brother Shi must be raised in the house.
You can't be around her! How can your brother-in-law resist when the big hat of 'filial piety' is pulled off?!"
Ming Lan was silent, this move is so shameless!
The attack happened when Hualan was at her weakest. She didn't know whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl. Brother Shi was Hua Lan's only son. Taking Brother Shi away, Hualan had to worry day and night about how to take good care of the fetus.
"How dare she disobey her mother-in-law's orders?"
Hua Lan wiped her tears and continued with a sad expression: "I don't know how I spent those two months. Whenever I closed my eyes, I dreamed that something happened to Brother Shi. I couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep.
, almost going crazy!”
Ming Lan felt pity and held Hua Lan's hand and stroked it gently. Although she knew that Mrs. Yuan might not be harmful to her grandson, if there was an emergency, could she still ask her grandmother to pay for her grandson's life? It was just an oversight.
It's over, this mute will definitely suffer the consequences.
"About ten days ago, there was a sudden noise in the front yard. When I asked, I almost died." Hua Lan looked bleak, "The evil-hearted mother-in-law actually let Brother Shi take a nap alone without leaving anyone to watch. They
They all went outside to drink tea and chat! Brother Shi is now very good at crawling. After he woke up, he crawled all over the bed. There was a smoker placed next to the bed. The child didn't know it, so he knocked over the smoker and rolled it down.
Under the bed, the ashes from the incense burner fell on Brother Shi!"
"Ah!" Minglan exclaimed, "Are you hurt?!"
"My poor brother, I cried for a long time and no one paid attention to me." Hua Lan's voice was full of fear and she trembled, "Fortunately, Sister Zhuang..."
"What's wrong, Sister Guanzhuang?"
Hua Lan felt a sense of shame on her face: "...It's all my fault. I only cared about my brother Shi and neglected her. This child knew that I was worried about him, so he often left her wet nurse and sneaked to the front yard every day.
Look at her brother, she is young and not alert to others, so no one notices her. When her wet nurse came to complain, I was upset and scolded her severely. That day, Sister Zhuang ran away secretly again, and she heard
Brother Shi was crying in the room, so she quickly ran in and saw her brother rolling on the ground crying, with blisters all over his head and face! Sister Zhuang couldn't hold her brother, so she had to put her brother's body on fire.
All the ashes were dusted off, but her hands were burned in several places...Ah, come in quickly, Sister Zhuang, come and see your sixth aunt!"
A little girl ran in hurriedly. Minglan hugged her and kissed her hard on the forehead: "Good boy, ask aunt to look at your hands."
Sister Zhuang's childish face also showed the fear that only adults have. She timidly stretched out her two little hands. There were several dark rose-colored spots on the short white fingertips. The little girl retracted her fingers shyly,
A childish voice: "Aunt, I don't feel any pain anymore. My brother is so hot."
Minglan hurriedly looked at the boy in Cuichan's arms. He was sleeping soundly. On his delicate and fair face, he saw an alarming red swelling on his forehead, which should have come from a fall. Along his right eyebrow and down his cheek,
There was a row of tiny crimson burn scars, the most shocking of which was right on his right eyelid! If there had been an emergency, one of his eyes would have been damaged!
The boy seemed to be awake and whined twice. Sister Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and patted her brother twice, coaxing her baby in a sweet voice: "Be good, be good..." The little boy seemed to know that it was his sister's voice.
, fell asleep again.
Minglan felt distressed for a while and couldn't bear it anymore. She hugged Sister Zhuang hard and her tears couldn't stop flowing down. Hualan looked at the two children and felt sad. She lay on the bedside and cried muffledly.
After getting up, Cuichan quickly handed the boy to the wet nurse next to her, and hurriedly helped Hua Lan to wipe her tears, saying repeatedly: "Second Grandma, you must not cry, this will make you suffer for the rest of your life!"
Minglan quickly wiped her tears, picked up Sister Zhuang, and said with pride: "Good boy, you can take care of your mother's worries and save your younger brother. You are a very good daughter and a very good sister. Aunt Six is very proud of you."
You are happy! Don’t be afraid of bullying. You are the eldest daughter of the Yuan family and the eldest granddaughter of the Sheng family! Let’s see who dares to bully you!”
Sister Zhuang opened a small smile and nodded vigorously.
Cuichan took the two children out, and Minglan watched them go out. She turned around and said with a tearful smile: "My sister has raised her children very well. I will be lucky in the future! ... Well, what happened next?"
Hua Lan was also full of pride and smiled with relief. After calming down, she slowly said: "I feel guilty for being that damn old woman. Who would have thought that she would bite her back and say that Sister Zhuang knocked over the stove and was injured?"
It’s my brother’s fault! I’m going to punish Sister Zhuang!”
"Bullshit!" Minglan also swore, "Speaking of a thousand words, trouble will always happen when no one is waiting in the room. If someone is there, even if Sister Zhuang knocks over the stove, she won't be hurt.
Come on brother!"
"Who says otherwise!" Hua Lan smiled bitterly, "The house was in chaos. When your brother-in-law came back, he was so angry that he wanted to whip those women to death, but his mother stopped him and scolded him for being unfilial.
, and even said that he had to go to the ancestral hall to kneel to his ancestors! When the father-in-law found out, he immediately insulted those mothers-in-law and even sent them to the village to 'recuperate'; the mother-in-law didn't know where she learned the pickling trick, so she actually found a rope and wanted to hang herself.
, kept saying, 'There is no reason in the world to wait for a wife for the sake of a daughter-in-law', which made the father-in-law almost faint! This matter will be settled, and fortunately, I will finally come back..."
Minglan was speechless, and Hualan smiled slightly: "Your brother-in-law was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he saw Brother Shi's injuries. He was really angry and had nowhere to vent, so... haha," she laughed.
Weird, "That damn old woman sent seven or eight concubines to me. Your brother-in-law beat the two best ones that night, each with fifty blows, until they were half dead and threw away Uncle Zhongqin."
The gate of the mansion! Then they stripped the other two naked and made them kneel naked in the courtyard all night. They fell ill the next day and were moved out. The remaining ones are now very honest and even have their heads tied.
I don't dare to show it, for fear of making your brother-in-law angry."
Minglan laughed: "It's such a thing."
"After the dead old woman found out, she came to make another scene. I held a hairpin and pointed it at my throat. I said, 'If she dares to mention taking away my child again, I will die on the spot.'" She
I had no choice but to beat and scold her, until your brother-in-law's face was covered with injuries, and he couldn't go out to see anyone for several days."
After telling a thrilling story about the past, the two sisters were speechless for a long time, leaning head-to-head against each other, both feeling sad. After a long time, Hua Lan said: "When did this end? I'm scared all the time now.
What's wrong with her?"
"It's not that there is no way to cure it," Minglan said.
Hua Lan immediately stood up, her eyes were shining, she grabbed Minglan and shouted: "What can I do? Say it quickly! Say it quickly!"
Minglan was silent and silent. Hualan became anxious and kept asking questions, which made Minglan dizzy. Minglan wondered: "This is not a good thing, it's just a bad idea."
"What a bad idea! It's perfect for that old woman!" Hua Lan's eyes were blazing.
Minglan gritted her teeth, okay, the first large-scale conspiracy in her life had begun; she said: "Previously, I heard that something happened at home. My wife...she wanted to take a concubine for her eldest brother, and her eldest sister-in-law immediately asked
sick."
Hua Lan sarcastically said: "My younger siblings are so lucky. They are much better than me. They won't die even if they take concubines."
Minglan sighed in her heart, and could understand Hua Lan's mentality, and continued: "Not to mention that my brother was unwilling, my father also felt that my wife had nothing to do and was fooling around, so... ahem, he took in several girls from the same room."
Hua Lan seemed to understand a little and asked softly: "So...?"
Minglan spread her hands and said her final conclusion in embarrassment: "My wife has no time to take care of my sister-in-law now."
Hua Lan opened her eyes wide, she understood.
"Is this possible?" Hua Lan hesitated.
Minglan said calmly: "Is it possible that the Yuan family divorced your mother-in-law?"
Hua Lan sat down slumped, shook her head and said, "It's impossible. She has children after all. Uncle Zhongqin's house can't afford to lose this person, so the divorce letter is just to scare her."
"Then is it possible for your father-in-law to leave your mother-in-law in the manor to 'rest' for the rest of her life?"
Hua Lan's eyes were filled with despair: "That's not possible, let alone others; even your brother-in-law can't bear the thought of my mother-in-law suffering in the village forever."
"Then what else can you do?" - Actually, to put it another way, it is impossible for the Yuan family to divorce Hua Lan.
"That's right! That's right!" Hua Lan pounded the bed board and whispered, "To make her life so comfortable! It's time to give my father-in-law a few young and beautiful concubines! ... But, the concubines in the father-in-law's room
My mother-in-law is really looking at the whole room!"
Minglan shook her left hand, lowered her voice forcefully, and leaned forward and said: "Firstly, how can a daughter-in-law take a concubine for her husband? If it spreads, it will make people laugh to death; secondly, you don't have to take a concubine casually, your mother-in-law can't take one easily.
The concubine who was killed."
Hua Lan was so smart that he understood after thinking for a moment: "You want me to go find my eldest aunt?"
"Yes." Minglan said, "Go find Mrs. Shoushan Bo."
"Will she help me?" Hua Lan doubted, although she liked herself very much, but...
Minglan simply said: "I'm not helping you, I'm helping her own family! When she comes back from her hometown, she will definitely come to see you. When the time comes, you should shut down everyone and tell her everything. Let me talk about you first.
Pain, your grievance, show her the injured child and make sure the injury is serious! Then tell her the story of Zheng Zhuanggong and Gongshu Duan..."
"I know!" Hua Lan's eyes finally glowed, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Zheng Zhuang and Gong Shu Duan were also brothers from the same mother! However, because of Empress Dowager Wu Jiang's partiality, she favored Gong Shu Duan and went against the grain, which finally turned into a fraternal feud.
!at last……"
"In the end, Duke Zheng Zhuang personally killed his brother Gongshu Duan! To be honest, most of this was Empress Dowager Wu Jiang's fault!" Minglan added, "This is not just a dispute between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. You must know that if this happens again
If Mrs. Yuan continues to go crazy, the two brothers of the Yuan family will become separated if they are not separated from each other. By then, the Yuan family will have to fall apart."
As soon as these words were said, the whole matter immediately rose to a new level and became about maintaining family unity.
Hua Lan weighed the matter twice and felt that it was very feasible. Let Mrs. Shoushan Bo find a poor girl with an innocent family background, who is beautiful, gentle and clear-minded. She will know that the second wife is her helper. She can be the eldest sister.
My younger brother who is in poor health has sent a concubine to serve him. As long as the old man agrees, no one has the right to say anything. If Mrs. Yuan makes a fuss, she has committed the "seven outings" - she always likes to use this when she is giving her son a woman.
Come and block Hualan.
Uncle Yuan, who has lived in poverty for most of his life, will probably like that woman. Even if he gives birth to a concubine, it doesn't matter. Anyway, whether he has a concubine or not, the second wife will not get any property. After all, a mother-in-law can embarrass her daughter-in-law every day, but she can't.
The daughter-in-law should go to the father-in-law every day to complain about her misfortune; just put a strong pillow to blow the wind, and then Mrs. Yuan will still have the strength to pick fights every day!
The more Hua Lan thought about it, the happier she felt, and she felt so good that she almost wanted to walk twice.
Minglan looked at Hualan with a smile.
First, since Hualan doesn't mind his elder brother Bo having a concubine, Mrs. Shoushan Bo, who has a bad relationship with Mrs. Yuan, would not mind her younger brother Zhongqin having a concubine. Second, the Yuan family uncle is not good at studying or martial arts, and just likes to hide.
She had a lot of leisure, but Yuan Wenshao was smart and capable, and saw a bright future. Mrs. Shoushanbo should know which house she and her children could rely on in the future.
——This is the final key.
"Only three people can know about this matter." Minglan couldn't help but remind, "You, Mrs. Shoushanbo, after the matter is completed, you can also let your brother-in-law know. You and your husband have a good relationship, so don't get hurt because of this.
"
"I know what you mean. When someone comes in, I will tell your brother-in-law everything." Hua Lan smiled slyly, as if she had returned to her carefree girlhood, when her only
The homework is to give Aunt Lin a few stumbling blocks, "Don't worry! From beginning to end, nothing will happen to you."
Minglan was relieved. It was always a pleasure to work with smart people.
In fact, as long as it does not threaten their own interests and status, most children in this era will not have any objections to their fathers taking concubines. What's more, when the time comes, Hualan holds the two children covered with scars and kneels in front of her husband.
Cry and beg, word it more tactfully and cleverly, and there will basically be no big problems.
After a while, Gu and Yuan came back. When Yuan Wenshao smiled and went to invite Minglan out of the house, he would never know that in just a short period of time, the arc of his life had slightly bent; for a long time
Later, he had a very obedient and loyal younger brother-in-law, and a very happy and peaceful rest of his life.
But Mrs. Yuan, who is sitting on the kang at this moment, cursing fiercely that her life is miserable, has no idea that her real life of misery has just begun.
At the gatehouse in the outer courtyard, Gu Tingye helped Minglan get into the carriage. Seeing that she was in a low mood and with an indifferent expression, he felt strange. He glanced at Yuan Wenshao who hadn't come out yet, so he got into the carriage and asked what was wrong. Minglan simply said
narrated the matter again.
Gu Tingye frowned slightly: "Brother Wen Shao is too indecisive. He is so foolish and filial. He not only wronged his wife and children, but also allowed the family to be uneasy."
"It's not about being indecisive, it's just about whether it's worth it." Minglan leaned against the car wall with an indifferent expression, "My brother-in-law naturally knows that my sister is having a hard time, but he thinks it's more important to be obedient to his mother; a man who has three wives and four concubines
Pretending to be harmonious at home is not because they don't know that their wives are sad, but because their romantic happiness is better than their wife's sadness... But this is not wrong. In life, naturally their own happiness is more important."
Gu Tingye looked at the strange Minglan with slight shock, and felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He suppressed this feeling and asked quietly: "What about you? What should you do if you are sad?"
Minglan didn't even think about it, she just smiled and said, "It's okay to be hurt...it'll be fine. I can get through it."
In this ancient time, I realized that the lifestyle of ancient women was the wisest. Manage your property well, ensure your material foundation, and then love yourself, your children, your kind-hearted mother-in-law, and occasionally love a little man, not too much, and the limit is up to him.
You won't feel sad about other women, as long as you can show your affection to them just right without feeling disgusted.
It is best not to feel disgust at every turn. It is a very unhealthy lifestyle to live helplessly with a man you deeply hate.
——Minglan is practicing hard. In a few days, when Gu Mansion is reorganized, she will have to hold a banquet to entertain relatives and friends. After that, she will have to go to Ningyuan Hou Mansion from time to time to pay respects to her elders. The vacation is about to end.
Okay, I hope everything goes well then.
"You dare to say anything?" Gu Tingye narrowed his eyes, implying a sharp look.
Minglan tilted her head and said quietly: "You said you like to hear the truth, not to mention... I can't hide it from you. If I ask you to force you to tell the truth, you might as well tell it yourself."
"You didn't point your finger at me?" Gu Tingye raised an eyebrow.
"No." Minglan broke her fingers and spread them out, "I pointed them at you, but..." Her calm eyes looked straight at the man, so clear that it made people sad, "If you change your mind, I can
any idea?"
Gu Tingye's eyes were dark, and he suddenly asked: "Then what will you do?"
Minglan propped up her chin and thought hard: "I don't know. I'll wait until then. I probably won't seek death."
Her initial expectation for her sisters is that they don't harm her. As long as this is met, Hualan Rulan will be her good sister; her only expectation for the Shenghong and Wang family is that they don't trade themselves for too much.
The good thing is, as long as they still consider her happiness in marriage to some extent, then they are good parents.
Now it seems that basically, Sheng Minglan's life is still happy; she will definitely find a way of life that makes her most comfortable, whether she leaves him or not.
Gu Tingye looked at Minglan without blinking for a moment. In the dim carriage, only a ray of light came from the curtain, which enveloped her face as white as jade. Her long eyelashes hung down, covering the dim crystal-like brilliance.
The curved neck leaned on weakly, fragile, depressed, and at a loss, with a helpless cynicism.
Such a breathtaking and beautiful creature, full of self-deprecating ridicule and sadness. She loves life, she despises life, she is optimistic and enthusiastic, she is decadent and indifferent. She seems to be affirming and denying all the time, a perfect symmetry of contradictions——
From the moment he fished her wet body out of the river, he had been curious about her. He had never been so fascinated by a person.
"What would you do if something like this happened to your sister?" the man suddenly asked.
Her silent eyes moved like beautiful ripples on the surface of a lake. She patted the small table and said with a playful smile: "The government is forcing the people to rebel, so it's a good thing! I'll go and bring two kitchen knives immediately, and hold one in hand."
He grabbed his own neck, grabbed that person's neck, and shouted - I won't let me live, and I won't make it easy for you either!"
Then she laughed and fell down on the scarlet ornately embroidered gold-threaded mattress, as naughty as a child.
Gu Tingye looked at her deeply. He did not smile. He knew that she was not joking. Her eyes were not smiling - it was like this several times. On the contrary, there was a strange absoluteness in her eyes; she was as beautiful as pounce.
A moth that flies away from the fire.
He dragged her up, grabbed her into his arms roughly and arbitrarily, and held her hard, holding her with all his strength until she almost died, and then slowly let go. Minglan raised her head and gasped for air, her face filled with suffocation.
She was red and almost breathless, looking at him numbly.
Gu Tingye felt that he was confused. He seemed very angry that she didn't trust him, but he had to admit that her concerns were right. In the end, he could only caress her beautiful eyelids, sigh softly, and say in a low and calm voice:
"No need for a kitchen knife. If you want to chop whoever you want, I will chop it for you." Anyway, his biological mother was gone.
Minglan was dumbfounded and at a loss as to what he was talking about.
He paused and added: "I'm better at cutting."
Minglan smiled blankly for a few times and agreed; Gu Tingye suddenly became furious again, violently overturned the small table in the carriage, and punched the wall of the carriage with his fist, causing the carriage to shake, and Minglan was frightened.
group,
Gu Tingye lowered his voice and said with hatred: "You little heartless one! It's not even a month since we got married, but you've been thinking about what kind of escape route you should find! You little bastard!"
As he said that, he lifted up Minglan's arm, quickly picked up her sleeves, and touched her snow-white and pink elbows. He took a big mouthful, leaving two neat rows of tooth marks.
Ming Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale, her mouth flattened, and she watched with tears as Gu Tingye turned around and got out of the car angrily!
The author has something to say:
This is a week's worth, I will go back and add 'the author has something to say'.
