Chapter 22: Pondering
Minglan was holding her cheeks with her hands, and she was distracted, when she heard this, she hurriedly got off the couch and put on her embroidered shoes, and outside, Gu Shi had already opened the beaded curtain and came in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Minglan greeted him, smiling all over his face, "Why is Daddy here?"
Gu Shi saw that her face had red marks, and she knew that she had been looking out the window in a daze for a long time, and when he came over, she didn't see it, so she said curiously, "What are you thinking about just now, thinking so intrigued?"
Minglan pulled Gu Shi to invite him to sit, and then said, "I think about a lot of things, but no one believes me when I say it." ā
Gu Shi raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter, no one believes it?"
Minglan said while pouring tea for Gu She, "Everyone says that this year is a warm winter, and no one believes me when I say that it will snow heavily." ā
As she spoke, she looked up at Gu She.
Gu Shi smiled, and Minglan pursed his lips, "Obviously, Daddy doesn't believe it either." ā
Gu Shi coughed lightly, he really didn't believe it, he said, "Then why should others believe that it will snow heavily?"
Minglan was dumbfounded, she didn't know how to explain, she couldn't look at the big sun outside and say that a lot of people would die in the blizzard, her father would definitely be stunned by her, talking nonsense, maybe he would ask her for a doctor.
Gu Shi only thought that she had nothing to say, and said with a smile, "There is no need to force others to agree with what you think, others don't believe it, and you are distressed." ā
"What if this matter is very important, no one else knows, only I know," Minglan asked seriously.
This question really stumped Gu She, and he said, "Do your duty and listen to the destiny of heaven." ā
Such an answer is tantamount to no answer.
She just wants to do her duty, but if no one gives her a chance and obeys the destiny of heaven, then it will be the same result as in her previous life, and she won't have to struggle.
This topic can't continue, Minglan looked at Gu Shedao, "Daddy came to me, but something?"
Gu Shi nodded and said, "Qian'er, did the old lady give you a side inkstone?"
Minglan raised his eyebrows, "Yes." ā
Gu Shi said, "Can you give that Duan Yan to Daddy?"
Minglan raised his eyebrows again, "Is it Daddy's own use?"
Gu Shi looked at Minglan, "Why do you ask that?"
Minglan drew circles on the teacup in front of him after the rain and the early sunshine, and said, "I guess, it's definitely not Daddy's own use, Duanyan is my grandfather who wronged me and made up for me, even if Dad likes it again, he won't ask me for it, and the eldest uncle is in a hurry to be promoted, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is out of Ming's favorite Duan Yan, and the Duanyan is the uncle who wants to give it to the Ministry of Industry, right?"
Gu She's eyes were surprised, she didn't expect her daughter to think so clearly, without a trace of mistakes.
Now that she knows, it's easy to do.
Gu Shi was about to speak, when he saw Minglan shrug his shoulders and said, "It's late, I just gave that Fang Duanyan to my cousin today......." ā
Gu She's expression froze, Minglan saw it, and said in a humming voice, "Duan Yan is precious, I use it to waste, I can wash away my grievances, it all depends on the old doctor Wang invited by my uncle, my grandfather himself was reluctant to use Duan Yan, but he gave Duan Yan to me, I pondered, it must have been sent to my uncle as a thank you gift...... Daddy won't blame me for not giving the inkstone to my cousin, right?"
Gu Shi shook his head and smiled, "Your uncle and your cousin have always loved you, and the things they gave you are more than just one side. ā
Mu Zhen hurts Minglan, no less than his father, Minglan got a good thing and thought that he should have it, but how did he send it so coincidentally, he just sent it away today, and the eldest brother is counting on Duan Yan again, in case he can't find the other Duan Yan, the eldest brother will fail to be promoted...... Gu Shi has a headache.
Gu Shi didn't sit for a while and left, he had to hurry up and tell the old lady and the eldest master, lest they pin their hopes on Duan Yan and send out the things, how could they be embarrassed to come back?
In Minglan's mind, the eldest lord is far less important than her uncle Mu Zhen.
But Gu Shi is embarrassed, it doesn't mean that no one is thick-skinned.
Minglan was tired and planned to sleep for a while, when Gu Yinlan and sister-in-law Song Yuan came.
Minglan took off his coat, listened to the maid's advice, had to put it on again, and then smiled, "Why are you here?"
Gu Yinlan and Song Yuan sat down, and Minglan ordered the maid to serve tea.
Gu Yinlan looked at Minglan and said, "I heard from the second uncle just now, you gave Duan Yan to your cousin, and you also know that my father finally looked forward to such a good promotion opportunity, which cannot be missed no matter what, the matter of the Ministry of Industry, the words of the Ministry of Industry are the most effective, as long as he protects his father, his father's promotion will be nine out of ten, and he likes Duan Yan the most, you can find your cousin to bring Duan Yan back." ā
After Gu Yinlan finished speaking, Song Yuan said again, "We also know that it is not good to come back the things that were sent, but don't you often say that your uncle treats you like a daughter, and your cousin is your own brother, how can you be so different from your own brother, our long house is good, the uncle's house is good, and your cousin is not short of that side of the inkstone." ā
Indeed, it's not that there is no need for that party, but why should she ask for the things she sent out for the sake of the long house?
There is also a long house, the uncle's mansion is good, if her father follows behind and is also stained, she listens disgusting, the eldest uncle has been promoted, and the ambition to grab the title is even greater, she helps the eldest uncle is to pit her own father again, although her father also helps her brother pit himself.
Her father pays attention to brotherhood, but this brotherhood is a joke in her eyes.
But these words, she definitely can't say them, I'm afraid that if she really says them, she will definitely not only be punished for kneeling in the Buddhist hall for three days to reflect, but she is afraid that the family rules will be copied and she wants to cut off her hands.
Minglan hummed and said, "It's true that my cousin and I don't see each other, but this time it's different, originally that side of the inkstone, I was going to give it to my uncle, but my uncle was in a hurry to leave the house, I didn't have time to send it, and then I begged my cousin to ask you for a secret recipe."
He was angry, I changed my mind and gave Duan Yan to my cousin, he was not angry with me, he knew that Duan Yan was valuable, and said that he gave it to him, but he was not allowed to go back again, I was annoyed, I felt that he looked down on me, I was not so much that I couldn't afford to send Duan Yan, so I raised my hand and swore ....... ā
But if you swear that it must be some vicious words, Minglan looked at Gu Yinlan and Song Yuan, "I don't dare to ask Duan Yan back, but although Duan Yan is valuable, it's not that it can't be bought, spend more money, you will definitely be able to buy a better one, the eldest uncle's promotion is rare, and you can't lose a big one because of a small one." ā
Gu Yinlan was angry, she didn't expect Duan Yan to come back, but she swore that it had anything to do with her, who wanted her to send it to the Muyang Hou Mansion as soon as she had good things, even her own father would have to be at the back of the line, if it was given to the second uncle, where would there be so many things, she said, "Although Duan Yan can be bought, where can I buy it for a while, besides, even if there is, it can't be guaranteed to be better than the one that my grandfather gave you."
Father and grandfather are very anxious, this matter must be decided as soon as possible, otherwise the Ministry of Industry Shangshu received someone else's gift, and his father will not accept it if he gives it to him, your cousin, go back and buy a better one, and then give it to him, he is not so anxious. ā
