Minglan knew very well that the advantage of living in Ji'antang was not only the increase in food and clothing, but also a comfortable pace of life. She did not have to rely on others to look at their faces, and could live a leisurely life. After living in Ji'antang for these years, Minglan had never
He had never been given any trouble by the Wang family, and he had never exchanged a few words with his brothers and sisters. He spent every day with Old Mrs. Sheng, reading, writing or sewing in front of her, and sleeping next to the old lady at night.
Every time Rulan feels unbalanced, she also wants to cause some trouble for Minglan. But if she wants to find Minglan, she must go through many hurdles, including the gate of Jian'an Hall, Mother Fang in the main room, and Mother Cui in the side room, waiting for her all the way.
She rushed into the Lihua Cupboard and caught Ming Lan. Old Mrs. Sheng was chanting sutras next door. How could she find trouble? She even asked Mrs. Wang to say hello, but the old lady excused her because she was young and in poor health.
Ever since she moved into Ji'an Hall, no one has ever looked down upon Minglan. Minglan is fully aware of all the protection Mrs. Sheng has given her, and she is extremely grateful. However, as Mo Lan moves into Wei Ruixuan, Minglan knows that this kind of
The happy days are coming to an end.
"...The girls are getting older and it's time to have their own house. Wei Ruixuan still has an empty place. It's better to let Minglan move there so that the sisters can get along with each other for a while. I don't know when they can get married later.
See you." One day after Changbai came back from the exam, Wang came to say hello and said to Mrs. Sheng with a smile.
Minglan was writing in the back room when she heard it, and her heart skipped a beat. She glanced at the person on the other side of the kang table who was helping her grind red oranges. She was also shocked. There was no sound outside for a while, only the low cough of Mrs. Sheng. At this time, Fang’s mother laughed.
Then he said: "Madam, yes. Yesterday, an old lady told me that it was time for Miss Six to live alone;... However, Madam also knows that thanks to Miss Six in recent years, this Jian'an Hall has become much more lively and lively.
Although my wife is feeling better, what if..."
Mrs. Fang's voice was drawn out, and Mrs. Wang looked a little embarrassed: "I was negligent. Of course the old lady is in serious health. I just let other people know that Minglan doesn't have her own room at home, and they thought I was being mean to Minglan..."
Fang's mother hurriedly took over the words: "What the madam said makes sense. Not only do the sisters have to have multiple relationships, the girls also have to learn to take care of their own house when they grow up. They won't be tired of growing up by their grandmother's side. So the old lady said, it's better to just
Clean up the empty row of houses on the east side of Ji'an Hall so that Miss Six can live there. Isn't it close to Ji'an Hall and Wei Ruixuan?"
This proposal was very harmonious. Mrs. Wang agreed and immediately ordered people to clean up the house. Minglan anxiously came out of the back room and walked to Mrs. Sheng. She lowered her head and took her grandmother's old hand, shaking it. Mrs. Sheng shook it.
The little girl pulled herself onto the kang bed, held her in her arms distressedly, and said for a long time: "You are always learning to live your own life, how to control your maids and mother-in-law, your money income and expenditure, and your interactions with your brothers and sisters... Grandma can't stand in your way for the rest of your life."
Minglan looked up at Mrs. Sheng's wrinkled face and gray eyes. She felt sour in her heart. She shed tears and buried her in her grandmother's arms: "...Minglan will be obedient and will not embarrass grandma."
…
The embroidered building where the lady lives is mostly a specialty of the south. Northerners like to be tall and spacious, so independent small courtyards are popular. The small courtyard on the east side of Ji'an Hall was originally just a courtyard for enjoying snow and lakes. It is less than half the size of Wei Ruixuan.
After cleaning it three times in a row, Mrs. Sheng didn't like it and said it was too simple and uninhabitable. After Sheng Hong found out about it, she immediately hired a mason and carpenter to renovate the small courtyard inside and outside, and repainted and repaired it.
It took a long time until the New Year for Old Mrs. Sheng to nod her head and tell Minglan to move there when the new year started. After all this trouble, everyone in the Sheng family knew that the sixth girl, Minglan, was the favorite of Old Mrs. Sheng, so everyone in the Sheng'an Hall moved out.
Don't dare to neglect or look down upon.
Because of this, Minglan was particularly depressed this year. When he kowtowed to his ancestors' memorial tablets, his eyes would well up with tears. He would shed two tears in vain while watching the fireworks. He would twist old Mrs. Sheng's hand every day and refused to let go. She would even sleep in her grandmother's house.
She often wakes up with wet face on her face. Every time Mrs. Sheng sees it, she sighs but says nothing.
After the first lunar month, the old lady chose a sunny day. Fang's mother gathered all the soldiers and horses, took care of Minglan's affairs, and moved in a big way. Minglan bid farewell to old lady Sheng, and took three steps at a time.
She turned around and left Ji'antang, her first and only safe haven in this world, where her grandmother cared for her completely selflessly and loved her. However, no one in this world could protect her from the wind and rain for the rest of her life. She had to go to this world by herself.
face.
The day before moving to a new home, Minglan went to Sheng Changbai with a newly made fan cover and asked him to give her a name for her small courtyard. In fact, she had a lot of good names, such as 'Xiaoxiang Pavilion', 'Hengwuyuan' and 'Qiu Shuangzhai'.
''Daoxiang Village'' and ''Luxue'an'' are each more sophisticated than the other. I just think of the fate of those unfortunate women and think it's better not to get into trouble.
Brother Changbai received the retouching fee, and immediately his thoughts surged, and he stroked his pen - Mu Cangzhai.
Mu Cangzhai has three large rooms facing north and south. In the middle, Minglan is used as the main hall, which serves as the living room, the left end room is used as a bedroom, the right end room is used as a study room, and there are two wing rooms on each side of the big house.
It is for maids and women to live; this place is very close to Ji'an Hall, and is basically surrounded by the garden outside Ji'an Hall. A corridor connects the two places. If Minglan screams here, Mrs. Sheng will immediately hear it and rushes to put out the fire.
Minglan was very touched by the old lady’s good intentions.
The basic equipment of the sixth girl of the Sheng family is Mother Cui, two eldest maids, four to six maids, and a handyman in the outhouse. The ostentation is far worse than that of Mo Lan Rulan, but Mu Cangzhai originally
Xiao, Minglan was afraid that there would be too many people and too much wrongdoing, so she was happy not to add anyone despite her modest reputation; besides, Sheng Hong always valued official status and refused to be arrogant and extravagant, so Miss Sheng's monthly salary was two taels of silver, but
This was done openly, but in fact Ru Lan was sponsored by the Wang family, Mo Lan was sponsored by Aunt Lin, and Mrs. Sheng also sent money to Ming Lan every month. It was tacitly understood by everyone.
On the day of the move, Mrs. Sheng sat in the main hall, and her brothers and sisters came to congratulate her. Brother Changbai gave a Ru kiln flower bag that was as moist as jade, with a few fresh red plums stuck on it; Ru Lan gave a carved flower and bird
A marble pen holder; Chang Feng presented a complete set of "Mountains and Seas"; Mo Lan presented a pair of calligraphy couplets and a hand-painted fisherman's fishing picture; finally, Chang Dong shrank and scooped out the gift, and Aunt Xiang personally embroidered a set of curtains for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
, in four colors of pink, green, blue and apricot, embroidered with colorful flowers, birds, fish and insects from all four seasons, it is very delicate. Looking at Changdong's embarrassed look, Minglan secretly leaned into his ear: "Tell aunt, I like it very much."
Xiao Changdong immediately beamed with joy.
Early the next morning, Minglan made an exception and did not sleep in. She arrived at Jian'an Hall early to say hello. She saw old lady Sheng with swollen eyelids. Grandparents and grandson hugged each other and had another good talk. Old lady Sheng looked at Minglan three times.
Over and over, it felt like my granddaughter had lost three kilograms of meat after sleeping outside all night. She kept asking whether the heating pavilion was leaking, whether the ground dragon was hot, and how about the kang bed?
Sitting aside, Ms. Wang was holding a tea bowl with a somewhat complicated expression. She had been a good daughter-in-law for a while when her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't have a falling out in the early years. In fact, Mrs. Sheng was quite difficult to take care of. She had an arrogant and cold nature.
Noisy, be more attentive, she feels annoyed, be more caring and considerate, but she feels interfered with, even when Aunt Lin was raised by her side, she was not very warm, because the Wang family did not want Ru Lan in the first place
She came to Ji'antang and received a cold reception, but she didn't know which way these six girls burned the incense to be so favored. When Liu Kun's family reminded her that Minglan should be moved out, she didn't take it to heart, but it made sense when she thought about it.
If Minglan must be recorded in his name in the future, then he will have to pay for his legitimate mother's money. If he needs to cultivate feelings, he should cultivate feelings, and if he should teach, he should teach; and when the girl's family is old, she is always in Ji'an Hall, so
It's not good to be involved in Qi Heng's comings and goings; the important thing is that recently, I suddenly discovered that under the old lady's education, Ming Lan behaved well and became a good scholar. On the other hand, Ru Lan was still naive and straightforward. Zhuan Hui and Mo
Lan was so vindictive that she made no progress at all, so she moved Minglan out so that Rulando could have some good influence with her. Finally, the Wang family also had a good reputation outside.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang felt much better. She picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. The three daughters looked more grand than the two.
On the second day after moving into Mucangzhai, Minglan actively fulfilled her obligations. After having breakfast in Ji'antang, she asked Danju to look after the house, and took Xiaotao and Yancao to the main courtyard to pay respects to the Wang family. She saw that her two sisters had already
Sitting in the room, with a brocade-paved cotton kang bed in front of them, Mo Lan and Ru Lan sat face to face on both sides, looking at each other coldly from time to time, like a tortoise and a peacock.
Minglan sighed secretly, and her thoughts finally began; she walked to the middle and said with a smile: "Hello sisters, it seems I'm late." As she said this, she calmly sat down next to Rulan, but the old lady pulled her.
He asked her to say a few more words. Ji'antang is far away from Wang's place, but if she could use her 800-meter standard skill, she could arrive in time. Unfortunately, these days, the young lady can't even take a big step, which makes her just
I can secretly do radio gymnastics and yoga to exercise behind closed doors.
Mo Lan immediately sneered: "Sixth sister is the old lady's pet peeve, so what does it matter if she is a little late? How dare the madam punish her for being so late?"
Minglan touched her sleeves and smoothed the skirt, as if to soothe her mood, and said slowly: "Fourth sister was very angry early in the morning. I heard from my sister that if my wife doesn't punish me, she doesn't have the guts. If she does, she won't punish me."
The old lady would feel unhappy if she ignored me, and my sister was talking about two elders with just one sentence."
Rulan opened her eyes wide and turned to look at Minglan. Her eyes were full of disbelief and secret joy. Molan was also choked. As a time traveler, Minglan may not remember much, but Molan remembered it clearly.
Before she was five years old, Minglan was so cowardly and easy to bully. She ordered her around more than once, and Rulan also yelled at her countless times. But after that, after Minglan was brought into the She'an Hall, they didn't get along with each other for several years.
When we met on weekdays, we would only say a few polite words. All I remember in my impression is that Minglan was very honest, cowardly, and stupid.
Mo Lan's eyes suddenly became sharp: "What...what did you say? Why are you so slanderous!"
Ming Lan secretly laughed in her heart. Just like Aunt Lin, Mo Lan was indeed weak on the outside but strong on the inside. In fact, if she was really weak, how could she be so prosperous today? Ming Lan smiled lightly: "Oh, it seems I misunderstood. It turns out that the four
My sister doesn’t want my wife to punish me.”
Mo Lan was hurt internally. Ru Lan opened her mouth and was overjoyed. Xi Zizi took Ming Lan's arm and said affectionately: "Sixth sister was not in good health before, so she asked the old lady to skip greeting her mother. Today she is late for the first time.
It's nothing. Just after Aunt Xiang served my mother for breakfast, Liu's mother came to ask my mother for something. Several aunts also called her, and they haven't come out yet, so it's okay!"
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is the concept passed down to Rulan by the Wang family. On weekdays, she would lose seven out of ten times when she and Molan bickered. Now that foreign aid was dropped out of thin air, she immediately became energetic. How could Minglan not know the twists and turns in this?
It's a roundabout way, but the most taboo thing about choosing a side is that the grass on the wall is swaying unpredictably. With Aunt Wei dying in the front, she and Aunt Lin are not much better.
Rulan found her comrade-in-arms, and pulled Minglan to chat. One moment, she said that the meat in her new robe was delicious, and she would give some to Minglan. The next moment, she said that she had a new piece of "Nine-Nine Cold Relief Pictures" that she wanted to watch with Minglan.
: "Sixth sister and I lived together when we were young, but unfortunately we became less close to each other when we went to Ji'an Hall. It would be great if we lived together."
Mo Lan had already calmed down her anger. She gently stirred the tea leaves with the lid of the teacup and said jokingly: "The fifth sister is really joking. The sixth sister is eating and drinking in front of the old lady, but she is so beautiful. How can she come to Wei Ruixuan? Alas——
Speaking of which, I was unlucky and couldn't get into Jian'an Hall, but the fifth sister is much better than the two of us, why doesn't the old lady look down on her?"
When it comes to morality, Ru Lan is indeed not as good as Mo Lan. She is good at swearing, but this kind of delicate bickering often gets caught. This sentence was resisted, and Minglan's hand tightened immediately. Minglan mourned.
His arm ached, and he said: "Fourth sister is so funny. At first, fifth sister and my wife had a deep love as mother and daughter, and it was difficult for her to leave her. Fourth sister is very filial, but the old lady always wanted to break up the family's flesh and blood, so she chose
Got me."
Rulan was immediately reminded and burst into laughter: "Yes, the fourth sister is very filial and willing to let Aunt Lin go, but the old lady can't bear it!" Then she relaxed her hand, and Minglan hurriedly pulled back her poor fat arm.
Mo Lan stood up, looked at Minglan, and said word by word: "How dare you talk about your elders and sister like this?"
Minglan smiled and said: "How did I discuss it? The fourth sister would like to point out which sentence I said wrong, so that I can ask my sister to correct it." If you have the ability, find the fault in her words.
At that time, the old judge once said: The so-called court is the legal place for people to fight. During the debate, every sentence starts with clauses and clauses. It seems that it is about the matter and not the person, but in fact it is all about the person. When you fight a lawsuit, you are the person, and others can't say a word.
; Back then, the handsome lawyer Yao Yiyi admired could make the plaintiff angry to death, and he still had a sincere and serious look on his face.
Mo Lan unexpectedly stared at Ming Lan, her eyes wide open. Ming Lan looked back calmly. She didn't mean to fight with Mo Lan, but as soon as she walked in today, Mo Lan was unforgiving, aggressive, and hiding her harsh words in every word.
If Er Minglan shows too much weakness, not only will she be despised by Ru Lan, but she will also have to be prepared to be bullied every day in the future. She shows her claws just to let others know - I will not offend others unless they offend me. Although she does not have a biological brother or aunt, she can
It’s not completely unreliable.
The two girls looked at each other, and the sky was full of fire. Rulan was very excited, her eyes were shining. Minglan turned her eyes away slightly, pretending to be scared, stood up and walked to Mo Lan, she was so obedient, she said respectfully.
: "It's all my sister's fault. If it hadn't been too late, I wouldn't have been naughty with my sister. Fourth sister, don't be angry. My sister will apologize to you."
Rulan cursed in her heart that Minglan was really hopeless and her ability to withstand attacks was too poor. How long had she persisted? She immediately took off her sleeves and planned to join the war. At this time, the curtain outside the door was opened by Caihuan and said: "My wife is here.
