Fang's mother has been waiting for a reply since she was entrusted with the matchmaking. As soon as Minglan nodded, within two days, she brought Danju's aunt and uncle and the descendant of the Lu family to kowtow. Minglan looked carefully through the curtain.
But seeing the generosity, health and kindness in this life, I felt a little happy again. Then I saw Dan Ju beside me, who was overjoyed and shy, so I stopped delaying and decided to get married immediately. ~
The young man was so happy that he kowtowed to the ground, which made the floor tiles in the hall ring. This made the maids in the room burst into laughter, especially Lu Zhi, who laughed loudly. While laughing, he looked into the orange area behind the curtain.
There are not so many red tapes for getting married in a small family. It can take as little as half a year or as fast as a month. Since the descendants of the Lu family are older and it is difficult to delay, they set the auspicious date to five months later. The parents of the Lu family originally wanted to
I hired a well-matched Xiaojia Biyu for my son, but now that I saw Minglan’s handiwork and Danju Chuluo’s virtuous and beautiful appearance, the original regret in my heart disappeared.
After that, Danjue's aunt and uncle took care of all the matters one by one. Minglan handed the silver to Fang's mother. Under her eyes, she thought that they would not dare to spend money on household items. Waiting for a whole piece of high-quality bright red satin
When she was sent to the house, Minglan gradually reduced Danju's work and asked her to concentrate on embroidering the dowry, from mandarin duck pillowcases, dragon and phoenix wedding clothes, brand-new Chinese clothes, undergarments, embroidered shoes, and even embroidered shoes for her husband and parents-in-law after marriage.
The uppers of Lou's purses and shoes have to be made slowly and stitch by stitch by the bride.
Because Danju was always generous, all the maids in the courtyard were happy for her. Bisi was the most envious, but the happiest thing among them was Lvzhi. Since Danju slowly stepped down from the top position, she felt that it was finally her turn.
As Minglan became more and more important to Minglan's pride, she seemed to be carrying the wind even when she walked. Cuiwei talked to her several times before she cooled down.
"After Dan Ju is dispatched, it will be your and Xiao Tao's turn." Cui Wei deliberately joked.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi was born with a vigorous nature, and raised his head without shame: "To be honest with you, sister, I have made up my mind a long time ago that I will never marry outside, and I can still serve my wife for several years." If it is a marriage within the palace, the inner courtyard
Most of the eldest maids can be kept until they are twenty years old. Some of them are valued highly and the master is reluctant to let them go, so there are some who are kept until they are in their late twenties.
Cui Wei was somewhat surprised, and then smiled and said: "You are so stubborn now. In the future, my wife will find a good family for you and see if you change your mind."
Luzhi said: "Sister knows that my brother is honest and dull. Now that I am here, there are still those blind people who bully him from time to time. If I go out, I don't know what will happen to my brother." He sighed.
, "My father and mother died early, leaving only us brother and sister. If I don't take care of him, who will take care of him? Now I just hope to serve my wife well. In the future, if I get grace, I can be a kind and considerate good sister-in-law for my brother. I can be considered worthy of it."
My parents are still alive in heaven."
Cui Wei was quite moved and said: "My dear sister, I'm really sorry for you."
Some people were happy and some were worried. They heard that a good thing was coming for Dan Ju. Ruomei also came to congratulate her. They saw a bright red silk brocade box on the table and a half-cut red wedding dress hanging on the stand.
, suddenly felt very dazzling. Since that day when Dan Ju told her what Ming Lan said and tried to persuade her, she had been depressed for several days.
Seeing Danju's reddish face, shy Yanyan, and the indescribable joy and happiness in the corner of her eyes and eyebrows, Ruomei felt like a thorn in her heart. After chatting for a few words, she left Minglan's office. ~
"It's been a long time since I came to say hello to Madam. I'm very happy to see that Madam is still in good health." After the salute, Ruomei finished his speech dryly and didn't know how to continue.
Minglan's eyes wandered around her body. She was still well-dressed, but her complexion was not good, and her brows were dark. "Sit down, Xiaotao, go make a bowl of Lan'an Maojian. Remember what you like to eat."
Ruomei carefully sat down next to the edge of the round stool: "It's hard for Madam to still remember."
After a while, Xiaotao came in with a small tea tray, her round face smiling: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but my sister is getting prettier, and her whole body is shining with golden light!" The tone was so sincere.
Ruomei's movement of holding tea stopped for a moment, with an embarrassed look on her face. Minglan looked at the roof speechlessly and said - Ruomei wears more jewelry, and it is true that these jewelry are more gold... But, should you be so honest?
.
After saying this, Xiao Tao, who was completely unaware, walked out of the room with brisk steps and waited outside. Ruomei slowly put away her embarrassment and whispered: "Sister Danju has already told me. I'm here, slave."
Thank you madam for your advice and love."
Minglan looked at her quietly, and saw that she was saying thank you, but her body did not move at all, and she was not even half-blessed. He knew that she actually did not understand, and she was still the same self-admiring Ruomei, "You know
Just serve Mr. Gongsun well from now on and help him as soon as possible. Both the Marquis and I will be generously rewarded."
Ruomei felt bitter in her heart. She had deliberately called herself 'slave' just now. She thought Minglan would say something, but who knew... She had no choice but to say: "Slave, please don't worry." After a pause, she mustered up her courage and said, "Slave is stupid.
, I always make my husband unhappy, I hope my wife will give me some advice, what should I do properly as a servant?"
Being able to ask this question meant that he was still salvageable. Minglan smiled, pointed to the doorway where Xiaotao had just left, and said, "I remember when we first came here, Xiaotao served in the outer room for a while."
Ruomei didn't know what Minglan meant, so she nodded and said, "Yes, sir, he also said that Xiaotao is very useful." At first, she was upset for a while, secretly unhappy about why she wasn't chosen, when she was obviously the most literate person.
.
"Actually, Xiaotao is not a smart person." Minglan slowly moved the tea leaves.
This is not unusual, I'm afraid no one knows about it from Mu Cangzhai to Jia Xi. Ruomei opened his eyes wide and waited for Minglan to continue.
"Especially since she has never served in the room. The Marquis and Mr. Marquis really suffered a lot at that time. They asked her to boil a pot of wine and it was either too hot or too cold. They asked her to organize the manuscript. She could give it to you page by page.
Take it apart and fold it up." Thinking of Gu Tingye's complaints when he came back during those days, Minglan couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"I remember that when I first arrived at Fang's mother's house, Dan Jue remembered one thing after being told it once. She had to tell her two or three times before she understood it." Ming Lan smiled, "I sent such a dull person to serve. I originally didn't know.
I was afraid that my husband would blame me. Who would have thought that my husband would praise her later." In fact, Gongsun Baishi was very fond of Xiao Tao and intended to extend the employment period. Unfortunately, Xiao Tao didn't have any good impressions of Fang, especially a creature like Master. Once someone arrived,
He took over and fled back as fast as he could.
Ruomei smiled dryly: "Sir, Xiao Tao is a loyal maid."
"Sir, your eyes are as bright as a torch." Minglan nodded, "I once told Xiao Tao not to reveal anything about what she sees or hears in the room to the outside. You have inquired about the room with her several times, and even you have become annoyed. She
Can you tell me anything?"
Ruomei was sad. At that time, she admired Xiang, but she was just asking about some unimportant matters. But even when she asked her husband what kind of tea he liked to drink, Xiao Tao refused to say a word. The two had a falling out, which lasted for half a month.
No words were spoken.
"Even so for you. The shop owner, An Po, has always loved Xiao Tao. She was too lazy to go check it out in person that day, so she secretly asked her if the silver charcoal in the room had run out, but she refused to tell her." Minglan stared at her closely.
Ruomei said, "Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of person you are. What matters is, what kind of person do you want, sir?"
Ruo Mei's eyebrows trembled slightly, she looked up at Minglan, and was speechless for a while.
…
Looking at Ruomei's leaving figure, Minglan shook her head.
Ruomei is a smart person, how come she doesn’t know what kind of concubine Gongsun wants? It’s just eight words: ‘well-behaved, sensible, and law-abiding’. The most important thing is not to think about romantic affairs all day long. These days, Ruomei
What I envy is actually not Dan Ju's good marriage, but Dan Ju's full-hearted happiness.
"If you feel bad in the future, always think about why you married in the first place. Maybe it will make you feel better." - This was the last warning I gave to Ruomei. The future would depend on her own destiny.
In the following days, Danjue worked hard to teach the little maids, always giving instructions and carefully explaining things one by one. Time flies. More than a month later, her aunt and uncle came to pick Danjue back to prepare for her marriage. They said that the house at home had been destroyed.
The renovations have been completed, and we can hold wedding ceremonies as decently as possible. My mother who came with me also said that the furniture was in good condition.
Minglan rewarded Dan Ju with a red gold head and face, and several horses with good materials. She also gave Cui Wei another thirty taels of silver as a wedding gift, and asked Xiao Tao to secretly put two silver notes worth one hundred taels each in Dan Ju's cage.
Although Xiao Tao's mind is slow, his hands and feet are nimble, and he is most reliable in doing this kind of thing. Later, Mr. Shao rewarded her with a pair of gold bracelets with shrimp whiskers, and Qiu Niang also gave her a small gold hairpin.
Retreating everyone, Minglan burned a body deed in front of her, then stuffed a flat box into Dan Ju's hand, and warned softly: "It contains your household registration. The affairs at the government office have been settled, and you will live a good life in the future.
"
Danjue knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Minglan tried to persuade her for a long time before she stopped crying. Danjue stood up slowly, and when she was about to turn around, she suddenly turned around with tears in her eyes: "Girl, you always like to sit there."
On the pillars in front of the porch."
Minglan held back her tears and laughed: "You were afraid that I would fall, so you made a bag out of rags overnight and tied it to the railing."
"The bag was not made firmly and cracked, causing the girl to fall hard. When Fang's mother wanted to punish me and said that the master was wrong, I not only refused to persuade her, but also made mistakes."
"I lay in bed for three days, and you cried beside my bed for three days; when I got better, you fell ill.
"
"Girl, just promise me that you will never sit on the railing again."
"You still want me to pull the hook."
Danju couldn't bear it any longer and knelt on the ground with a plop, crying: "Girl, just ask me to kowtow to you again."
Then he knocked his head down hard. When he got up, his face was full of tears. He hugged Minglan's legs and said sadly, "Girl, I really can't let you go!"
The past events came to mind, and Minglan couldn't help feeling sad. Tears rolled down her face. She covered her sleeves with half her face and pushed her away with a hard heart: "Go, go, you will have children in the future and have a happy family for a long time!"
Let’s go, let’s go…”
Watching Dan Ju turn back and slowly move toward the door step by step, Minglan suddenly remembered the scene when they first met. At that time, there was only Xiao Tao beside her who didn't understand anything. Fang's mother led her to her. She was also like this at that time.
Turning back frequently.
"Miss Six, I'll get some snacks for you."
"Girl, please sit still. There are many empty rooms here, so don't wander around."
"My slave will be back soon. Sister Xiaotao, you have to keep an eye on the girl."
The little girl had a milky voice and a face that was gentle and considerate beyond her years. She chattered endlessly. Minglan felt a burst of sadness in her heart and turned her head away with all her strength, not to watch Dan Ju go out.
Xiao Tao walked Dan Ju all the way to the intersection and almost followed her to her house. When she came back, her eyes were swollen like big peaches. After entering the house, she buried her head in the bed and refused to come out.
When Gu Tingye returned to the house at night, Ming Lan still looked depressed. Gu Tingye felt distressed and said, "Since you are so reluctant to part with her, why not keep her in your house and give her to a promising young man."
Minglan wiped his wet hair with a cloth and whispered: "They were the first to follow me. I only wish them well, and they will not waste the fate of more than ten years."
Gu Tingye held the son in his arms and kept tossing him gently, making Brother Tuan chuckle. Hearing Minglan's words, he was quite surprised. In his heart, the Lord is gracious to the slave, how can
Why is it not fate?
He put his son on the bed and let him crawl on his own. Then he pulled Minglan over and looked at her face carefully. He saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and he couldn't help but look dark: "You have always treated them well, now that you see the Lord treat them like this."
If you can’t bear it, you should ask yourself to stay. From this point of view, you are also heartless!”
Minglan opened his big hand with all her strength and said with a cry of displeasure: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Gu Tingye was slightly startled, then laughed and said: "Okay, okay, I'm not talking nonsense." Then he joked, "With so many girls, if you do this again for every girl getting married, how can you bear it?"
Minglan wiped her tears gently, and after hearing this, she laughed at herself: "It's just her and Xiaotao, the rest...well, that's all."
Gu Tingye slowly leaned back and asked, "Because these two people were the first to follow you?"
Minglan pondered for a moment and then said: "...Because at that time, the three of us were sincere."
After hearing this, Gu Tingye was a little moved and couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that the girls who serve you later are not sincere in serving you?"
Xiaotao was an unexpected prize when he was most unlucky, and Danju was an encouragement prize when his future was uncertain. Later, the old lady pampered him more and more, and he gained a foothold in the Sheng family, and his emotions began to get mixed up.
Minglan thought carefully and organized before replying: "When I am Mrs. Guhou, it won't matter whether I am sincere or not."
Gu Tingye looked at her quietly for a while, and suddenly said sadly: "It would be great if I met you at that time."
After hearing this, Minglan blinked her big eyes twice, and suddenly a very strange look appeared on her face. She stared at the man and her face gradually turned red. Gu Tingye didn't know it at first, but after a moment he thought of it. When Minglan was young and just able to run,
He is already able to beat a horse and parade through the streets, doing whatever he wants.
The couple looked at each other for a long time, not knowing what each other was thinking, but they laughed at the same time. Minglan swept away her previous worries, her smiling lips trembled slightly, and she tilted her head to recall her childhood: "When I was a child, one time I went to school with my father and grandmother.
I was watching the lanterns on the street, and there were a few young men in rich clothes riding fast horses passing by on the street. Mother Fang hugged me tightly and whispered to me, "Here, look, girl, this is a bad guy."
'!"
This scene was so realistic that Gu Tingye twitched the corner of his mouth and grabbed Tuan Geer who was about to climb on top of him, his face turned a little dark.
Minglan saw that his expression was not kind, so she quickly made up for it and changed the subject: "Today, the Duke of Qi came to deliver a note, saying that my husband will hold a birthday banquet in the near future. Seventy years of life are rare in ancient times, and it is rare for my husband to live as long as this.
.We held this sixty-ninth birthday banquet this year, and we won’t hold it again in the future. Therefore, we must be invited to go.”
By the way, Wang has known Princess Pingning for so long, but Minglan has never been to the Duke of Qi's mansion.
"So it's Hedong Mansion?!" After hearing this, Gu Tingye raised his eyebrows, his dark eyes showing a hint of joking.
Minglan was stunned for a moment: "What Hedong Mansion?"
"My wife is well-read and has extensive knowledge. Don't you hear the roar of the lion from the east of the river?"
The author has something to say:
On the day of the second company, I saw the legendary wind power station at a certain level. It is said to be a green and pollution-free energy source. It is as high as ten or twenty stories, maybe even higher. It has large snow-white fans. It is said that each one is
It cost more than 10 million RMB, and there were almost hundreds of them in one piece, which made a certain person tremble with fear.
The requirements for wind power generation are very high. It must have vast and flat land, and there are also requirements for air flow. In other words, there are only a few countries in the world that can generate large-scale wind power. I met a few tourists there.
During the trip to Korea, the expressions on their faces couldn't be described as 'envy, jealousy, and hate', which made a certain person very happy for a while.
The Mongolian colleague who accompanied me secretly told me that she had met Japanese tourists here a few months ago, and the expressions on their faces were even more colorful and exciting.
