Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!
Chapter 5 You haven't had breakfast yet
Gu Tingye was in a state of confusion as he walked towards the banquet hall of Sheng Mansion. He bumped into someone without noticing and a scroll of pictures fell from that person.
He looked down and saw a feng shui map of the border on the ground.
This atlas is extremely rare, and only those who are interested and spend a lot of effort can find it.
He looked up and found that the person he bumped into was the second son of the Sheng family.
Gu Tingye wanted to borrow the painting, and Sheng Changbai was annoyed that he ruined his wedding banquet. Gu Tingye repeated his apology to Minglan and swore in the name of his deceased mother that he would never gamble again. Only then did Changbai calm down.
The two of them got to know each other better after fighting, and they got along better and better as they talked. They talked about the situation on the border until the end of the party, and then went to Changbai House to chat until late at night.
When he came out and returned to his room, Gu Tingye was very dissatisfied. He felt that since the Sheng family could raise such a talented young man, they must not be a bad family and should not be bribed by Bai Dalang and his group.
But on second thought, if that’s the case, who did Minglan hear those stories about herself?
He recalled Minglan's words during the day one by one, and suddenly realized that she had mentioned "brother". She said that she and her brother should stay in the mansion and not go out.
But I only met Changbai after that. Could this girl really be able to predict the future?
impossible, impossible...
"She might be talking about Sheng Changfeng who played tossing pots with her. Yes, that's right, that must be the case. She probably thinks that brother and I can play together." Gu Tingye convinced himself with reason again.
……
On the second day, Changbai and Changfeng were the first to go to the old lady's room to pay their respects. After they left, it was the turn of Hualan, Rulan and Minglan. Hualan hugged Minglan and praised her again and again in front of the old lady. Rulan also held Minglan's hand and kept saying, "Sixth sister has done a great job this time!" The old lady was very happy to see the three girls hugging each other. She took out a basket of small crispy cookies and said they were made especially for Minglan.
Minglan held the basket with her face flushed with joy. She took out the shortbread and was about to share it with her eldest sister and fifth sister. Hualan and Minglan were used to eating good things and pushed them away, saying "no thanks". Minglan then carefully put the shortbread back into the basket and said to the old lady with sparkling eyes, "This shortbread smells so good. How come grandma's cooking is so good!"
Seeing that she had good things to share with her sisters, Mrs. Sheng felt even happier than yesterday. And seeing her praising her cooking skills like a greedy cat, she was even happier.
Hualan saw this and sent her two younger sisters away. Then she whispered to the old lady, "Grandma, I think Sixth Sister is doing well. She made you laugh twice these past two days. If you can let her stay by your side more often in the future, your granddaughter will feel more at ease. I asked Wei Xiaoniang about her opinion and she is in favor of it. This means that Hualan will be well taken care of by Grandma and she will feel more at ease."
Madam Wang herself was confused, but Hualan understood very well the intention of her grandparents in sending Wei Xiaoniang into the mansion, so she always helped Wei Xiaoniang in some ways, openly or secretly, and Wei Xiaoniang always spoke the truth to her.
Mrs. Sheng held Hua Lan's hand and sighed, "Grandmother likes her, but if I ask her to come to my side now, your father and Lin will probably make a scene."
Hua Lan understood and sighed slightly.
Everyone in the mansion saw it clearly. That day, Lin saw with her own eyes how high the dowry boxes and baskets that Old Lady Sheng gave to Hualan were. She was so stunned that she went back and "served" Sheng Hong well for several days. Then Sheng Hong began to mention Molan frequently in front of the old lady. Only the two of them thought they had concealed their thoughts well, but in fact, everyone in the mansion heard the sound of their calculations in their hearts.
If she wanted to bring Minglan to her side, Mrs. Sheng needed to find a suitable opportunity and make her biased son speechless.
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, Molan came late, holding a collection of poems.
Hua Lan felt upset when she saw her fourth sister who had been talking with her neck tilted since she was eight years old. She said unhappily, "Fourth sister, you are late."
Molan looked aggrieved and said, "Last night, my third brother was beaten by my father because of the matter of hiring geese. I was worried about him and closed my eyes until dawn. In the morning, I was thinking about reading the new poems I learned to grandma, so I reviewed them for a while and rushed here without even having breakfast. I hope that big sister and grandma will not blame me!"
Hua Lan snorted coldly: "Then you should blame me for not getting the pair of geese?"
Molan: "Big sister, no matter how wrong we are, it's all our fault, but Third Brother has been beaten thirty times by Dongrong, and Pinyan wasn't really lost, so please don't blame us for this anymore!"
What she said was actually hinting that Hualan was making things difficult for her because of the matter of hiring Yan.
He is less than ten years old, but he has already learned 80% of Lin Xiaoniang's skill of being a cunning but cunning person!
Fortunately, Hualan was not the eldest lady, so she was not led into the ditch step by step. She sneered, "Fourth sister, I am talking about paying respects to grandma now, you don't need to talk about other things. There are fixed times for paying respects to grandma every morning and evening, when to pay respects to grandma, when to pay respects to father and mother, that's all set. If all the brothers and sisters are like you, come whenever they want, will grandma still have to do other things? Will father still have to go to court?"
Molan was speechless and just lowered her head in silence. But after a while, she actually started wiping her tears.
Old Madam Sheng was really annoyed and just wanted to get Molan out of here quickly, but she felt it was not good to let her go out crying like that, so she said, "Doesn't the fourth lady have a poem to recite? It will be difficult for her to recite the poem if her voice becomes hoarse from crying." At the same time, she winked at Mama Cui.
Mother Cui lifted a stool and placed it at Molan's feet, coaxing her, "Stop crying, Fourth Miss. Sit down and read the new poem you learned to the old lady."
Molan then said aggrievedly: "Yes, Grandma."
Old Madam Sheng turned to Hua Lan and said, "You should go back first. You have a lot to do these days. You don't have to stay with me all the time. Take care of your own things first."
Hualan knew that her grandmother was going to deal with the annoying fourth girl herself. She glared at Molan and said, "Then please sit down and don't get tired. I will go back first and come back to serve you dinner later."
Molan had only recited half of "Spring River Moon Night" in front of Old Lady Sheng when she was interrupted. While burning incense, the old lady praised the author of the poem as a great talent, and also praised Molan for being as talented as Lin Xiaoniang. Molan was immediately happy.
But the next moment, Madam Sheng asked Molan to eat. Molan knew that this was an order to leave, so she was not happy and kept arguing with Madam Sheng. Madam Sheng didn't want to talk to her any more, so she looked up at her and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet."
The voice was gentle, but the eyes were cold.
Molan was stunned by this look. Before she could say anything else, Fang Mama and Cui Mama took turns to coax and pull her away.
Molan suppressed her resentment and went back to Lin Xiaoniang's residence, where she got very angry.
While Lin Qinshuang was trying to comfort Molan, she sent someone to inform Sheng Hong. After receiving the news, Sheng Hong went to test the old lady Sheng, but she just said to wait and see and didn't tell him anything.
