Do you know: I am the crown prince

Chapter 61 Flowers and Grass

Wei Xiaoniang was stunned and said in a panic: "Master, Minglan is not sensible. If she is sent to the old lady, it will inevitably cause trouble for her. Otherwise, let her stay with me."

"I think Ming is a sensible girl. Hualan is about to get married, and Rulan has a spoiled temper. Letting Minglan go to accompany the old lady can also keep Rulan company. Besides, Lin'er is still in his infancy, and you are too busy to take care of him. This matter is settled." Sheng Hong said.

"Yes."

Wei Xiaoniang opened her mouth, and although she was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving now." Sheng Hong said, and then left the yard.

"Little girl, little girl!"

Wei Xiaoniang stood there in a daze, until Minglan's call brought her back to her senses.

"What's wrong with you, little girl?" Minglan looked up at her mother and asked.

"I'm fine." Wei Xiaoniang shook her head, forced a smile, and said, "Didn't I ask you to look after your brother? Why did you run out?"

"My little brother woke up and was crying. Sister Xiaodie and Mother Li have gone to comfort him." Minglan said.

"Oh."

Wei Xiaoniang nodded and stretched out her hand, saying, "Come on, come back to the house with me. I have something to tell you."

"Ah."

Minglan nodded, reached out and held her mother's hand, then followed her into the house.

Wei Xiaoniang pulled Minglan to sit in front of Ruyi's table and said, "Your father just came over and told you to move to the old lady's courtyard tomorrow."

"No, I don't want it."

Minglan shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this, threw herself into Wei Xiaoniang's arms, and cried, "I don't want to leave Xiaoniang."

Hearing her daughter crying, Wei Xiaoniang felt bad, but she still hardened her heart, pulled her daughter out of her arms, squatted down, held her shoulders with both hands, and said seriously: "Minglan! This matter was decided by your father, you must go."

"I don't want to leave my mother anymore." Minglan burst into tears and kept shaking her head.

"Don't cry!" Wei Xiaoniang said sternly, "Whether you are willing or not, you have to go! If you act like that again, don't call me Xiaoniang anymore!"

Minglan couldn't take time to cry when she heard this, and said anxiously, "My dear, can't I go? Please don't leave me."

"This is a good boy."

Wei Xiaoniang rubbed her daughter's head and said, "Do you remember what I taught you before?"

"My daughter remembers everything." Minglan nodded.

"Then repeat it to me." said Wei Xiaoniang.

"Don't stand out in everything and don't get involved in your sisters' affairs. Keep a distance from them and don't quarrel with them if you are wronged." Minglan said.

"It's not enough to just remember it, you have to do it, okay?" Wei Xiaoniang reminded.

"My daughter has made note of it." Minglan nodded.

"Well, go and play." Wei Xiaoniang took out a handkerchief and wiped Minglan's face and said.

"My daughter is leaving." Minglan bowed and walked out.

After leaving the house, she did not stop, but walked directly out to the yard.

Xiaotao, who was waiting at the door, followed behind and saw Minglan walking faster and faster, so she started to jog.

"Girl, wait for me."

Minglan seemed not to hear anything and walked out of the yard and towards the garden.

The reason she knew about this garden was that she had written it down when Sheng Hong introduced it after they entered the garden.

Minglan entered the garden, saw a pavilion, walked in and sat down on the stone bench.

"Girl, why are you walking so fast?" Xiao Tao said breathlessly.

Minglan did not answer, but looked at the flower bed not far away and said, "Xiao Tao, there is not a single blade of grass in the flower bed, but there is one on the roadside. Do you know why?"

"I know. Because someone cleans it regularly, all the weeds have been pulled out." Xiaotao said.

"Do you know why it has to be pulled out?" Minglan asked.

"I don't know." Xiao Tao shook her head blankly when she heard that.

She had only been in the Sheng family for half a year. She had seen people weeding regularly before, but she didn't know why they weeded. "Because the weeds have grown taller and taken away nutrients from the flowers, so they have to be pulled out," Minglan said.

"I understand now. No one pays attention to the grass on the roadside because it doesn't compete with the flowers for nutrients." Xiao Tao said with a smile.

"Haha, it turns out Xiaotao is not stupid." Minglan looked at Xiaotao in surprise.

"I'm not stupid at all. It's the girl who keeps saying I'm stupid." Xiao Tao said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong."

Minglan smiled, turned her head and looked at the calm pond, and said sadly: "I originally just wanted to be a small grass by the roadside, but someone wanted to plant me in the flower bed. Why do you think this is?"

"Miss, why don't I understand what you are saying?" Xiao Tao said in confusion.

"That's right, you don't understand. If you could understand, I wouldn't tell you." Minglan said with a smile.

"Miss, although I still don't understand what you say, I always feel like you are laughing at my stupidity." Xiao Tao said stupidly.

"Haha, having you around makes me feel much better."

Minglan smiled and said, "Come on, let's go back."

"Oh." Xiaotao nodded and followed Minglan back.

When Minglan passed by the flower bed, she saw that the flowers planted in it had just turned green, and there were still some remaining grass in the soil.

At this moment Minglan truly understood that she had never been a grass outside the flower bed, but had always been inside the flower bed.

……

The next day, Sheng Hong went to the Ministry of Personnel to report, and Sheng Changbai went to the Eastern Palace to accompany him in his studies.

Minglan brought Xiaotao and several servants carrying gifts to Shou'an Hall.

When Lin Xiaoniang heard the news, she was so angry that she smashed all her favorite teacups.

After Sheng Hong and Old Lady Sheng reached an agreement, they never told anyone about this matter.

But now that Minglan has moved to Shou'an Hall, how could she not know the deep meaning of it?

How could she be willing to accept that she had worked so hard for so long, but Wei Xiaoniang and her daughter took all the credit?

However, even though she was extremely unwilling, since Sheng Hong was not at home, she did not have the courage to go to Shou'an Hall to make trouble. She could only vent her anger by throwing things in the house.

The East Courtyard where Old Madam Sheng lives is the largest courtyard besides the main courtyard, and it has many rooms.

Minglan came to Shou'an Hall, and the maid took her to her room and settled her down, and then brought her to the main hall of Shou'an Hall.

"Granddaughter meets grandmother." Minglan bowed.

"Yes." Old Madam Sheng nodded slightly and said, "You just came here and are unfamiliar with everything. If you have anything to say, you can tell me or Fang Mama."

"Granddaughter understands, thank you grandma." Minglan replied.

"You guys come with me."

Old Lady Sheng stood up and led Hualan and the other two to the side hall and began to teach them etiquette and rules.

Hualan and Rulan have learned all these, but Minglan is a newcomer.

So Mrs. Sheng corrected Hualan and Rulan's movements, let them practice on their own, and then taught Minglan alone.

Minglan studied very hard, but always made mistakes when doing it.

Rulan, who was practicing nearby, burst into laughter when she saw Old Lady Sheng scolding Minglan.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Rulan feels that she is smarter than Minglan.

With Minglan around, I will be punished less often in the future.

"What are you laughing laughing?"

Old Madam Sheng looked at Rulan sharply and said, "When you bow, smile. Your teeth are showing."

Upon hearing this, Rulan quickly put away her smile and kept smiling, not daring to think too much.
