Chapter 10: The Fire Pit
Minglan looked up, Qingxing retreated to the side, and then saw a girl wearing a jade-colored embroidered folded branch pile flower skirt walk in, her skin was like clotted fat, her face was like a peach, as if the snow was sunny, and her eyebrows were bright and delicate like a green mountain, pretty and lovely.

The person who came was Gu Liu's girl, the concubine of the third room, Gu Rulan.
Although the third room is a concubine, the relationship between Gu Shi and the third master is very good, the two were born a month apart, when the eldest master was enlightened, the fourth master was still in swaddling clothes, Gu Shi and the third master usually play together, and the relationship is no worse than that of the eldest master and the fourth master.
In addition, because of the sister of the third master, Mrs. Jian'anbo, and the aunt and grandmother of Jingningbo Mansion, the relationship between the two rooms is even more intimate.
It can be said that among the sisters of the Gu family, except for Gu Ronglan and Gu Yunlan, who are compatriots of the same mother, Minglan and Gu Rulan have the closest relationship.
Seeing that Minglan was still eating, Gu Rulan glanced at the table with a pair of smart eyes, and knew that Minglan had just eaten, so he smiled, "I'm still worried that my second sister's knee hurts, and it's inconvenient to go out, so I'm bored staying in the house, so I'm here to accompany you to relieve your boredom, but it seems that I've come too early, should I go out for a walk and come back?"
Although she said to go in circles, her footsteps did not stop, she walked to the side of the chaise longue and sat down, and took the book on the small table and opened it with her hands.
She is a frequent visitor to Liushuang Garden, and if she can play freely, it will be like her own house, and Minglan will be the same with her.
She turned two pages, then looked up, and saw that Minglan had been looking at her and didn't speak, but her eyes were three points redder than when she entered the room, she blinked her eyes and said, "Why do you look at me like this?"
Minglan glanced over, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat some more?"
Gu Rulan shook his head and smiled, "No need, I ate a lot in the morning, I ate now, I can't eat lunch." ”
Minglan just looked for a topic to say, and she asked her why her eyes were red, and she said, "Then you will eat at Liushuang Garden at noon, and I will let the big kitchen make your favorite sauce crucian carp and send it." ”
"Okay," Gu Rulan replied briskly.
Looking at her bright smile, Minglan's heart was sour.
In her previous life, everyone who had a good relationship with her was unlucky, and Gu Rulan was no exception.
She has just passed her fourteenth birthday now, but who would have expected that four years later, she would die.
The second aunt and grandmother guarded the matchmaker, the old lady married her to the Zhou family of Xinzhou Wang, when she said it, the eldest young master of the Zhou family was both talented and beautiful, had both ability and political integrity, had the talent of the champion, and was clean and self-conscious, and there was not even a warm bed around her, but it was a pity that her daughter had a marriage contract, otherwise she would let her daughter marry, thinking that her mother's Gu Rulan had no one to do, she ran back to the house and informed the old lady.
At that time, they all believed it to be true, and the third wife was reluctant to marry her daughter far away, but the second aunt and grandmother said that it was only temporary, and the young master Zhou had the talent of the champion, even if the rumor was slightly exaggerated, if he didn't have any real skills, he wouldn't dare to pass on such a reputation, and the top three would definitely not be able to run away.
If he is really going to high school, can he stay in Kyoto, won't Gu Rulan go back to Kyoto at that time, but it is only a year or two apart, what is there to be reluctant to.
Even if you marry into another family, you can't see each other every day, and you have to take a long-term view.
The second aunt and grandmother were clever and eloquent, and the old lady agreed, and the third lady was reluctant, but for the sake of her daughter's good, she finally nodded.
But as a result, the eldest young master of the Zhou family, not to mention the talent of the champion, can be considered a lifter, or hang at the end, just like this, he was still forced by the Zhou family to study hard every day, and bought the examiner and went through the back door.
The second aunt and grandmother said that he was clean and self-conscious, and he didn't even have a bed warmer around him, but after getting married, he didn't know that he not only had a bed warmer, but even a concubine!
Gu Rulan felt that she had been deceived, and on the day of the tea ceremony, she didn't go because she was unhappy, and the Zhou family was unhappy, and her life was even worse.
After the middle move, Young Master Zhou knew that he was hopeless to enter the Shi, and he refused to study anymore, and the Zhou family also felt that he couldn't support the wall with mud, and the more he forced him, the more he liked to drill into the Qinglou Restaurant.
Usually correspondence, these things, Gu Rulan never mentions, never reports good news and not bad news, everyone thinks she is doing well, who knows that she is depressed all day long.
Later, Master Zhou went to Beijing and Qiuqiu, and the students next to him studied hard day and night, but he lingered in the Hualou restaurant, drunk several times, and later saw her, knowing that Mrs. Zhao was the examiner, and wanted her to read that he was the sixth brother-in-law, helping to probe the mouth, and wanted to cheat through the back door.
She refused at the time, he didn't give up, prepared a gift, and went directly to Zhao's house to visit, and said that she agreed, which made Mrs. Zhao angry and implicated her.
As scheduled, Young Master Zhou fell off the list, he didn't have to study hard, but he miscalculated that he was not admitted to the Jinshi on her and Gu Rulan's heads, and felt that the family of sisters had always had a good relationship, and they refused to help with such a little favor, what kind of good sisters.
After falling off the list, he took Gu Rulan back, and since then, he has not received any more letters from her.
Half a year later, the news of her death reached Kyoto.
Now, I can still see her sitting here talking and laughing with her, Minglan's heart is warm, and her nose is sour.
If all this is not a dream, in this life, she will never let her marry far away, and she will never let her second aunt and grandmother send her into the fire pit.
Minglan secretly swore in her heart, but Gu Rulan heard her breathing with some crying, hurriedly put down the book in her hand, sat opposite her, held her hand, and said worriedly, "Are you okay, is it that your knee hurts badly, the ointment doesn't work, you must ask a doctor, don't bear it." ”
Minglan squeezed out a smile, held her hand and said, "I'm fine, it's just that I had a nightmare last night, dreaming of my big sister, dreaming of myself, and your ......." ”
When Gu Ronglan was mentioned, Gu Rulan also had a sad look on her face, she snorted, interrupted Minglan's words, and said, "It's okay, dreams are all reversed." ”
Minglan choked up and said, "I also hope it's the opposite, in the dream, we all have no eyes, pick the wrong husband, and marry the wrong person." ”
Gu Rulan's face flushed, she had no concept of marrying someone and marrying the wrong person, she always felt that it was too early to marry, but she just said that dreams were all reversed, didn't she say that she married the right Lang Jun?
She pushed Minglan and said angrily, "Marriage events are all the words of the matchmaker at the behest of our parents, how can we pick them ourselves, it's their fault, it's their fault, you eat quickly, it's cold." ”
She got up, sat back on the couch and flipped through the book, for fear that Minglan would still talk about getting married.
Minglan was in a trance, Zhao Yi was picked by herself, and she married the wrong one, and the sixth sister was picked by the elders, and it was still wrong.
Do they want to live, only if they don't marry and always accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha?
She could, but ...... What about the sixth sister?
She needed to think about it.
