Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Chapter 3 Grandma, how come you are so smart!

Everyone in the room looked at Minglan with their mouths slightly open.

Xiaodie was awakened by her words. All the past events came to her mind like raindrops falling from the eaves. The truth came to light and she was so stunned that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Wei Shuyi was surprised that Minglan could even see the key point of this, and felt as if he didn't even know his daughter.

Xiao Tao was simply frightened because her girl had just spoken with such authority.

Minglan remained calm and said, "Sometimes I would listen to Brother Changbai reading outside the house. I heard some stories about saints and sages, and gradually I understood our situation. We are surrounded by enemies on three sides, and only the old lady is a mountain that we can trust. That's why my mother repeatedly asked me to go to the old lady's room."

Wei Shuyi nodded with relief: "That's right. It's not that I'm cruel, I just want you to live well."

She secretly felt grateful to Changbai, and thought that if Changbai inherited the Sheng family in the future, the family would surely prosper. She said, "You must be good to your brother Changbai in the future, respect him and love him in every way, and never disobey him."

Minglan: "Yes, mother. I have always respected and loved Brother Changbai, not only him, but also Sister Hualan and grandmother. I will go and kowtow to Sister Hualan and talk to her, and then go to visit grandmother and serve her medicine."

Wei Shuyi's tears fell uncontrollably. He said yes repeatedly, helped Minglan dress, and said, "Today is your elder sister Hualan's wedding day. You should kowtow and then leave. Don't delay her business."

Minglan was stunned: "Is it today?"

Wei Shuyi: "Yes, I told you yesterday, how could you forget? Also, there are many people in the front yard now, after you see your elder sister and grandmother, just stay with the eldest lady and don't run around. If the in-laws ask to see you sisters when they meet, don't be impolite, and listen to the eldest lady in everything."

Minglan bowed carefully and said, "My daughter understands."

Seeing her mother nod in satisfaction, Minglan took Xiaotao out of the room.

I went straight to Hualan's house, but no one was there.

She went to the old lady's room again and heard Hualan crying to the old lady at the door. Her third concubine brother Changfeng used the betrothal goose sent by Earl Yuan's mansion to gamble with a young boy in a game of tossing pots, and was about to lose.

Hearing this, Minglan knew that Gu Tingye had arrived!

When she saw Changfeng surrender on the spot, she felt ashamed and was afraid that Hualan would really lose Pinyan and lose face, so she stepped out from the crowd and won the bet. However, because of her standing out, her mother was frightened for a long time.

This time, she has a legitimate reason.

Minglan had someone tell them that she was here to kowtow to her elder sister and grandmother. Hualan was getting irritated and cursed, "Don't make trouble," and wanted someone to send Minglan away. Grandmother said in a deep voice, "Your sister means well, and the more unfavorable the situation is, the more you must stay calm. Don't let others see you lose your composure."

Minglan entered the house and kowtowed before saying, "Grandma, I'll let you know."

The old lady nodded, and Minglan knelt down and said, "Grandma, big sister, Minglan is good at pitching pots, and I want to go to the front yard to win the betrothal goose for big sister. I hope grandma and big sister will agree."

Hua Lan's eyes lit up and she asked anxiously, "You can play pot-tossing? You are so young, how can you play pot-tossing?"

The old lady made a gesture to the housekeeper next to her, and she left the room.

Minglan nodded: "Minglan is ignorant and can't help with housework. She just loves to play. She plays pots in the yard every day and can throw all kinds of patterns. Xiaotao can testify to this."

Everyone looked at Xiao Tao eagerly, but the girl was so frightened by the scene that she couldn't utter a word.

Minglan sighed: "Don't blame me, big sister, Xiaotao is timid."

Hua Lan didn't pay attention to Xiao Tao and asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Minglan: "This is just my own trick for fun, how can I brag about it in front of my elder sister?"

At this time, the housekeeper brought in a three-mouth copper pot and a few feather arrows without arrowheads. She asked the maid to put the copper pot in place, and she took the feather arrows and handed them to Minglan, saying, "Sixth Miss, why don't you try throwing them now?"

Minglan took it with both hands, bowed to the two people sitting there, then stood up and faced the copper pot about ten feet away.

There was no wind in the room. She held the arrow in her hand to weigh it, measured the distance, and then threw it out.

With a thud, the arrow entered the pot's mouth, and she chanted, "Youchu, I got ten chips."

The old lady nodded: "Yes, she knows the rules."

Hua Lan, who was originally skeptical, breathed a sigh of relief.

The servants and maids in the room were all the old lady and Hualan's confidants. They were worried about Hualan, and when they saw Minglan succeed in her first move, they were instantly encouraged.

Minglan took out the second arrow and felt the weight and distance again - it was the same as the first arrow, which meant that these arrows were probably made by the same craftsman, with similar specifications, and the force used was also similar. She felt calmer and raised her hand to throw it out.

With a dull thud, the arrow passed through the pot's ear and hit the ground. Minglan said, "Piercing the ear, three points. Two arrows hit the target in a row, five points. The second arrow scored a total of eight points."

Hua Lan slapped her thigh and praised loudly, "Good!"

The old lady smiled.

The maids and servants in the room cheered, "Another hit!"

Minglan then threw another arrow, which went through the mouth of the pot, but there was no "thump" sound when it fell to the ground. The arrow was stuck in the middle of the pot, with the arrow head pointing directly at Minglan.

The old lady suddenly opened her eyes wide and said in a deep voice: "Dragon Head, Eighteen Chips!"

Hualan and the servants nearby were shocked by the word "Eighteen Cheats" and stared blankly at Minglan.

Minglan turned around and saluted to the old lady, blinking and smiling, "Yes, grandma, how come you are so smart!" As she said this, she gave the old lady a thumbs up.

The old lady didn't expect her to do this. She was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "You monkey!"

It’s always the elders who praise the younger ones for being smart. Where have you ever seen the younger ones praise the elders for being smart?

Everyone was silently worried for Minglan, but when they saw the old lady's reaction, they all burst into laughter.

The originally dull room was suddenly filled with cheers.

Seeing the old lady so happy, Fang Mama secretly praised the sixth girl as a savior sent by God. Ever since she knew Hualan was going to marry into the family of the Earl of Zhongqin, the old lady had been worried. Everyone was afraid of offending her, so they served her with extra care and no one dared to joke with her. She hadn't been so happy for a long time.

Hualan was also deeply touched. She knew that her grandmother was reluctant to leave her and that she had fallen ill for her. She thought about finding a few young maids to accompany her grandmother and talk to her, but she felt that they were outsiders after all and could not be as close as her own flesh and blood. But when she thought of Molan's fake behavior and Rulan's heartless appearance, she felt a headache and annoyed. Now, seeing that this smart and lovely Minglan seemed to be very pleasing to her grandmother, she had an idea in her mind.

The old lady had laughed enough, and had the copper pot and feather arrows removed. She "ordered" Minglan, "In ancient times, Mulan joined the army for her father. Today, Minglan is taking her brother Changfeng's part in the bet of Bai Jialang in the pot-tossing game. This is also a good story. Minglan is only seven years old, but she knows how to protect her elder sister and the family's reputation. This is great! But one thing is, you must not act like this when you grow up. If you become a big girl and still rush to the forefront of the storm, it will not be a good story, but will cause trouble."

Minglan picked up her luggage respectfully and answered, "Yes, grandma." Then she followed Fang Mama to the front hall.

No one noticed that she secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes several times after she went out.

"Grandma, I finally see you again!"
