The winding corridors, section after section, seemed to take forever to finish. Ming Lan felt depressed in her heart, so she simply stepped out of the corridor and strode along the gravel road with scattered snow, but she always shook off the depression in her heart.
It's almost noon, the sun is getting higher, the sky is clearing, and the snow is getting better. Many trees and flowers have been planted near or far away, and the fragrance is as light as floating smoke. Accompanied by the cold ice and snow, it slowly penetrates Minglan's nose. Minglan takes a deep breath, and the cool fragrance fills her chest.
I felt a little more relaxed and then slowly slowed down.
Minglan was walking with her head lowered when she heard footsteps and then a very low male voice sounded above her head: "Miss Sheng...Sixth Miss"
Minglan was startled and suddenly looked up, only to see a man turning behind a thick old flower tree. He was wearing a dark red straight coat with dark golden velvet piping at the corners and a dark gold brocade piping with two finger widths on the corners. He was covered with a sauce-colored satin.
He took a few steps forward in the mink robe, his tall and slender figure, and the backlight blocked the entire huge shadow. Ming Lan was covered in it.
Minglan took a few steps to the side and finally saw his face clearly. He was about 20 years old, with straight nose and a small shadow on his fair cheek. His eyes were narrowed into a thin line. He was exceptionally long and graceful, but he showed a bit of sullenness.
Minglan's heart suddenly moved, and she finally remembered and tried: "Second...cousin." When the sisters of the Sheng family saluted, they called Princess Ping from the side.
The man nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are familiar with the eldest lady from Yu Ge's hometown." His expression was a bit joyful and angry, his eyes were like nails. Although the end of the sentence was raised, it was a question.
Minglan's heart was beating hard and she suppressed herself. An Gong said, "Mrs. Yu and my grandmother often pray together. Miss Yu often comes to my house." She didn't say anything.
The man sneered twice: "Old Mr. Yu Ge, who is so big and arrogant, is already engaged to the Duan family in Dali. Why did he write to ask about it? He had to wait for someone to come to visit before he 'remembered' the marriage." His tone was full of depression and anger @ Infinitely Good

Minglan lowered her head and thought quickly. She knew that it was Gu Tingye, the second son of Yuanhou, who proposed marriage to Yanran. Although he was infamous, he actually behaved himself when he proposed to marry Yanran.
Married as the eldest daughter and only gave her a second daughter by a stepmother
He was originally a good-natured person who had been holding it all in for a long time. He probably didn't understand it until now. He just relaxed a little and woke up, but then he changed his mind and married to Yunnan at a lightning speed.
"It seems that Yuge Laoguo is a trustworthy person! But why do you need to know that someone Gu is not hers!" Gu Tingye said sarcastically, punching the thick old branches of the flower tree and shaking the petals.
Minglan took a few steps back and felt that he was about to burst into anger even though he was trying to hold it back. She was frightened and looked at him with veins bulging out and fists. It was very unreasonable. She suddenly remembered the scene in the middle school textbook "Lu Tiha Punches Zheng Guanxi" and her heart trembled. She thought about it in her heart.
I know that using those words to fool Sister Lian in front of this man has passed the test.
She was silent for a while and then raised her head and said briefly: "On the first day of September this year, a woman named Mannian went to Yuyuge with a pair of young children. The old man vomited blood and fell ill. Later, it was reported that she was engaged to Duan of Dali."
In fact, it was not that serious. After Mr. Yu vomited the congestion, he became even more active. The Yu family kept the matter very tightly under wraps, but later Mr. Yu insisted on getting married and married his second daughter. Mr. Yu had always written to him before, but Mr. Yu obviously ignored it.
I didn’t shake it out and embarrass myself.
Gu Tingye's expression suddenly changed, and his voice suddenly rose several levels: "Seriously!"
Minglan nodded and took a few steps back. This guy's aura was really scary. Thinking that he would definitely go back and ask if Mannia was too talkative, she might be able to save it, so she added a few words: "I heard that the Duan family's young master seems to be...
If you have leg problems... Mr. Yu Ge is also like this."
Ami Tofu Tailaojun is as anxious as the law, hoping that no one will know that she has been intimidating in front of Mannia.
Gu Tingye lowered his head and looked gloomy, as if he was deep in thought. Minglan saw how quickly he blessed him and said respectfully: "Second cousin, I will come over right away. You... just reward me slowly."
After saying that, when the man opened his mouth, Minglan walked away and dared to run. She could only lift her skirt lightly and move her short legs as frequently as possible. What did Sister Lian just say? The stage was set up to the west of Hou. Minglan looked at the sun.
Although she was a road-crazy, she was a direction-crazy and hurried to the west.
The potential of human beings emerges from the danger. Minglan was not confused by the twists and turns of the forest corridor. She just headed west. When she saw the crowd growing, she grabbed a maid and asked for directions, and was safely taken to the stage.
Just listen to Hu Qin's mellow singing of the female actor. It's obvious that the play has begun. Minglan immediately walked to the theater shed.
It is said to be a theater shed, but it is actually just like a large hall with open doors and windows. The lobby is crowded with people, and the room is filled with jewels. The female guests have taken their seats in the middle. Naturally, Princess Ping and Princess Six are sitting in the middle. Then they drive to both sides. There are many benches and high chairs placed in rows down.
There are several square tables carved with crabapples and lacquered Ruyi. Among them, seven or eight maids with green and blue brocade patterns are interspersed to refill the tea or add fruits and snacks to the female guests.
Ming Lan turned her eyes to the crowd and saw Mrs. Wang sitting at the fourth table on the right. A woman wearing pink and purple makeup with wide sleeves and a kerchief was talking next to her. Mo Lan was sitting with a group of girls; she looked back and saw Sister Lian.
Er Rulan was sitting in the corner of the first row on the left, closest to the stage but farthest from the center of the seat. Two girls, one holding a tea bowl and the other holding a handful of melon seeds, were looking at the stage with relish and saying a few words.
Minglan quietly moved over and sat next to them, pretending to be fine and said, "Oh, I'm still late. It's been going on for a while."
Even my sister, who was looking at her in awe, replied: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I just sang a good song and I haven't come out yet."
Rulan turned around and frowned: "Wash your hands, why did it take you so long? Where did you wash your hands?"
Minglan forced a smile and said: "If I wash it myself, Hou Ruiju, the little girl, carries water, scoops out the fragrant soap, and looks for a dry handkerchief."
Rulan snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "You have a lot of things to do. Now you should stay well and run around to avoid embarrassment..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud, long and charming laugh that passed across the entire lobby. Die-hard theater fan Lian Jieer was interrupted and Yue turned around and said, "Who is laughing so loudly? Boss Hu, I didn't hear the last sentence clearly!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw Princess Ping sitting next to County Princess Jiacheng, talking affectionately like a mother and daughter. County Princess Jiacheng raised her chin high and looked proudly like a colorful phoenix while she was talking and laughing.
Sister Lian frowned and turned back to continue watching the show. Rulan pouted and leaned into Minglan's ear and said, "I see that the county master is too unruly. If Auntie Kong is here, she will teach her a lesson. This is still a royal family."
I heard that the Sixth Princess came from a related family and originally her family was a butcher..."
Minglan smiled in her heart. This dynasty clearly ordered the children of the concubine to be in the imperial court. If they entered the court, they could be above the fourth rank, while Princess Shang's consort could only be given a title with a false title. Therefore, most princesses married into the families of meritorious lords or hereditary military commanders. Anyway, the children of these families
They are also eager to take the imperial examination, but the real officials and ministers are just the opposite. They are afraid of the princess because once they marry the princess, it means the end of their political career.
I heard from Mrs. Sheng that fifty years ago, there were two princesses. One looked at Na, who was ranked second in the exam, and the other looked at the first minister of the dynasty. The two young ladies were handsome and both came from noble families. Even the Queen Mother was attracted to her. But when those two families heard that,
As promised, they quickly took action, and a "marriage on the fingertips" immediately appeared in the family. The in-laws immediately spread the word that the son was a horoscope for the wife; the marriage had to be abandoned, but anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
It can be seen that the princess is a flashy high-end consumer product. It is like a high-end Swarovski crystal decoration. It looks beautiful but is of no use. Royal family affection is weak. How many emperors will care about their sisters. If they are from the same mother and concubine, they have never even seen those honors.
Marrying a princess is the icing on the cake for your family. The prince-in-law can take in a concubine and sleep in the same room, but he still has to worry about it. The mother-in-law and sister-in-law in the family have to look at her face and be polite and tiring.
The most wonderful thing about this Jiacheng county head is that as the only daughter of the Sixth Prince, if everything goes well, if her brother Xiaozong succeeds the great clan, she will have to bear all the taboos of the princess, but she can receive all the real benefits from the princess; her husband can still serve as an official butcher.
With great power in hand, officials and censors have no choice but to blatantly attack according to etiquette and law.
No wonder Princess Ping is so enthusiastic
"Ah!" Rulan suddenly whispered, pulling Minglan and pointing towards the princess, "Yuan... Brother Qi is here."
Minglan glanced at Sister Lian and saw that she was not paying attention and was watching the show, so she made a silent gesture to Ru Lan. Then she looked over and saw Qi Heng giving a gift to the Sixth Princess. The Sixth Princess was very affectionate and pulled Qi Heng to look to the left.
Looking right, Princess Ping said a few words with a smile on her face.
How could Ming Lan dub them? He must be praising how handsome Qi Heng is.
@Infinite good is all in Jinjiang Academy
Princess Ping had a strong nature and because she had no brothers to support her, she always had to compete with her sisters-in-law and uncles. When she was young, Qi Heng was very strict in her discipline. As a prince and grandson like him, she just went around watching cockfights and raising birds, but Qi Heng sat in the study honestly.
Whether in Beijing or Dengzhou, I can go back and forth to study in winter and summer.
Qi Heng has been handsome, fair, honest and filial since he was a child. When he goes around the house, no female relatives will ask him. Princess Ping is afraid that his son will be dazzled. He even lets him have more contact with girls from his relatives. In particular, he teaches his son to beware of those attentive girls in the house.
The master is like a guard against thieves. If he is frivolous at all, he will be beaten and punished, and at worst, he will be kicked out or even killed.
When we were in Dengzhou, Qi Heng said half-jokingly: "Sixth sister is probably the girl I talk to the most."
Rulan looked over and gritted her teeth gently and said sarcastically: "Look at how warm the Jiacheng County Master is to our family, but the one in our family is just average. Hey, how come the Qi family brother... looks like a body?"
Minglan raised her eyes to see what Princess Zhiping had said. She saw the county princess shyly standing next to her, smiling Qiaoqiao, but she did not avoid looking at Qi Heng with a look of longing.
But Qi Heng looked miserable. He didn't answer a word, his face was pale and his expression was melancholy. The ceiling was decorated with flowers, which shed mottled sunlight through the sunlight. Dark shadows fell on his face, which was as beautiful as jade, as gorgeous and delicate as a girl's flower.
Minglan was slightly lost in thought
When she was a child, he liked to pinch her hair. When she got older, he also liked to pull her ears; when Minglan was hiding in Ji'an Hall, he would go to greet Mrs. Sheng every night and bully her without anyone seeing her. Minglan moved into Mu
Cang Zhai, he dragged Chang Bai and looked for excuses to find her. She was greedy for life and afraid of causing trouble. She would lie to him and ridicule him, but he still came back.
Whatever she liked, she would send it to him in the name of Changbai within a few days after being exposed in front of Changbai. She returned each item and he continued to send it to him. Later, even Changbai helped him...
Minglan casually glanced over and saw that he was raising his eyes slightly over there. He didn't know what he was looking at. Through the noisy crowd, he suddenly looked at her. Minglan immediately averted his eyes and turned around to stare at the stage.
Qi Heng could only see Minglan's silhouette, her small chin, and her soft jaw. He dared to stop and look away immediately, but he felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of his head. The Lord of Jiacheng County was saying something to him. He didn't hear a word, and his pale face suddenly turned crimson.
Suddenly he stood up and bowed heavily to his mother, the Sixth Princess, then turned and left.
The Princess of Jiacheng County seemed a little embarrassed, and Princess Ping was a little embarrassed. The Sixth Princess was still calm. While the Sixth Princess was joking, the Princess quickly ordered people to follow him: "This silly boy must be tired from the feast these days. Go and tell him to be well."
Take a rest!" This sentence was said in a particularly loud voice, as if it was intended to be explained to all the peeping female guests present.
Before Qi Heng had walked a few steps, a large group of people gathered around him to greet him. The Sixth Princess even specially sent her own nun who was knowledgeable in medicine to let her see if it was okay.
Minglan lowered her head and sat down, her palms feeling cold.
——He stands among the stars in the middle of the crowd; while she is fragrant alone in a remote corner.
Let's go to each side of the road with the road facing the sky.
