Chapter 143: Ming An was terrified, and Jin Ran persuaded him
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Jin Ran also became serious, and she took the list that she had read thousands of times again: "Okay, okay, I don't dare to embarrass Fang Tianji, okay, mother, I'll read it a few more times, okay?"
"Jinran! I'm coming for you! β
Jin Ran was concentrating on looking at the list, and suddenly a fiery figure rushed in, followed by the little maid who didn't have time to report.
"Ming'an! Why are you here?" Jin Ran sat up in surprise, she walked to Princess Ming'an in three steps and two steps, and couldn't stop laughing.
"Mrs. Sheng." Princess Ming'an didn't expect that the Zhang family would stay with Jinran, and now she has become the fiancΓ©e of Jinran's third brother, and she is a little shy about the Zhang family she was familiar with.
Zhang looked at Princess Ming'an, who saluted her, and she couldn't get enough of it, so she hurriedly stepped forward: "Princess, get up quickly, how can you salute me according to your position?"
"Mrs. Sheng, you don't have to think about it, you are my elder, where is there a reason why juniors don't salute their elders?" Princess Ming'an's face was slightly red, but she still insisted on finishing the salute for the Zhang family.
Zhang had no choice but to let her move.
Jin Ran smiled maliciously on the side: "Oh, or is it just Mrs. Sheng?" Isn't it time for you to change your tune? Why don't you have to change your name to mother?"
"You, you, you!" Princess Ming'an was secretly shy, she couldn't say a word of rebuttal in a hurry, so she could only be ashamed of herself.
"Ran'er, don't be naughty." Zhang saw that Princess Ming'an's shy whole person was about to explode, and she didn't feel funny, but she still spoke out to stop it. Don't come back and tell this ignorant child to scare her good daughter-in-law away!
"Okay, you two little girls get together to play, I'm embarrassed to hinder you here, you can go shopping wherever you want, I'll go first." Zhang thoughtfully left the space to the two little girls.
After the Zhang family left, Princess Ming'an was revealed, and she reached out and pinched Jinran's face in shame: "Okay, you, Ran girl, you are going to get married, you are amazing, even dare to look at my jokes, see if I don't clean you up!"
While saying, Princess Ming'an rushed up and began to scratch Jin Ran: "You bad girl, see if I don't scratch you a few times!"
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahahaha. I was wrong Ming'an, don't move. Jin Ran's smile trembled, she stretched out her hand and kept pushing Princess Ming'an who was lying on her side to the side: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it later." Just spare me. β
Seeing Jinran begging for mercy, Princess Ming'an withdrew her hand, she smiled and pulled Jinran up from the bed, and helped Jinran tie her unkempt hair again: "Okay, I don't care about what you just said about me." Hurry up, why don't you take me to see your dowry? β
Jin Ran glanced at her: "Dowry? Yo, my dowry preparation is just a few people in my family who know, why did you run with Babad? I see, my third brother told you, right? Hey, this traitor, obviously his daughter-in-law hasn't married yet, so he went to please people. β
Princess Ming'an punched Jinran again in shame, but she didn't leave her hand this time: "Sheng Jinran!" You, you, you give me a good talk! β
Jin Ran saw that Princess Ming'an was almost annoyed, so she reluctantly restrained her smile, and she was also afraid that she would tease her best and scare away her friend, who had been particularly shy since she got engaged: "Okay, I won't make trouble." I'm really not making a fuss. Facing Princess Ming'an's serious scrutiny, Jin Ran also raised his hands to show his innocence: "Don't you want to see what dowry I have?" I'll just show you. β
Jinran's dowry is usually piled up in a few empty rooms in Jinran's small courtyard, and the Zhang family was worried that someone would fight these jewelry and jewelry ideas, so he specially asked Fang Tianji to borrow a few reliable guards. Of course, after these guards came, the news in the barracks that the general had married a mountain of gold also spread.
There are two keys, one for Jinran and one for Zhang.
As soon as she opened the door, Princess Ming'an was blinded by the jewels in the house: "Oh, so much jewelry!" Although Princess Ming'an is also a princess of a country, all kinds of jewelry she has seen are in the sea, Rao is so, she is still startled by the boxes of jewelry hairpin rings in the house.
Princess Ming'an walked into the house and envied this and that: "Jinran, your family is really good to you." "The pearl gold chain is naturally nothing, and even the extremely precious red bracelet is packed in a small box, not to mention some calligraphy and paintings that are priceless. These are treasures at the bottom of the box in any family, but in the Sheng family, they can take away their married daughters as dowries.
Jin Ran said helplessly: "I don't want to take so much, but my father and mother are always worried that if I marry into the Fang family, the dowry will be less, and people will look down on me." "Although Fang Tianji is not such a person, the martial arts circle where the other party is located is not friendly to a family like the Sheng family. Now that Jin Ran is married, if the confidence given by the family is insufficient, it is inevitable that he will be bullied when he intersects with the relatives of those military generals.
Princess Ming'an couldn't stop nodding, she actually had some such considerations, but she had been worried about the impact on the relationship between Jin Ran and Fang Tianji before, and now Jin Ran took the initiative to mention her and said: "I looked at Mrs. Sheng and Master Sheng and thought right!" She pretended to be an old man and said: "You don't know how hostile those generals are to the nobles of the family, one by one, their eyes are above the top, if you don't give them some color to see, they don't know what they can do!" β
After Princess Ming'an finished speaking, she became nervous: "I watch, we are going to give those generals a dismount, and when the time comes, they will not dare to use any despicable means." β
Jin Ran looked at Princess Ming'an and said more and more dislike it, no matter how she looked at her last words, she was suspected of discriminating against the generals, so she had to interrupt her friend, who was gearing up with tears and laughter: "Ming'an, where is it so terrible as you say?" I'm here to get married, not to fight. Besides, why are they bothering me for no reason? "What's more, they came to ask for trouble, and their little general blocked her.
When the time comes, it will be much easier to open the door and release the general, which is much easier than going into battle by yourself. Fang Tianji's reputation among the generals, you don't need to ask Jin Ran to know a little bit about it, it is a fierce figure than a tiger.
Princess Ming'an was also embarrassed to feel that she was thinking too much, she hurriedly pointed to the box full of fur and asked, "You have a lot of dowry things, why are all the furs loaded?" How worried are Lord Sheng and Mrs. Sheng about you being frozen? There was a bit of envy in his words.
Jin Ran said with a smile: "Parents are the same all over the world, when you start preparing the dowry, presumably the emperor and the lady concubine will also have to prepare a full one hundred and eight dowry for you." When the time comes, when you marry into my family again, my parents will have to love you in my family. When the time comes, it won't matter what fur is. Jin Ran grinned and said, "Are you right, sister-in-law?" β
"Sheng Jinran!" Princess Ming'an's face was already flushed. She stomped her foot and ran out.
Jin Ran was not in a hurry when she saw that the general was gone, she slowly paced out, locked the door with her own hands, and chased after Princess Ming'an. This Princess Ming'an is quite small, but this speed is not slow. By the time Jin Ran caught up with Princess Ming'an out of breath, this Princess Ming'an had already run to the Huxin Pavilion in the Sheng Mansion.
Now that it is spring, the weather has slowly warmed up, and the white veil that originally surrounded the pavilion in the center of the lake has been removed. Princess Ming'an was sitting in a corner of the pavilion, her whole body leaning on the railing around the pavilion, her face that was always smiling in the past was a little confused and stunned at the moment.
Jin Ran walked to Princess Ming'an and sat down, she motioned to the maids waiting in the pavilion to step back before she spoke: "Ming'an, what's wrong with you?" How is it sullen? Is there anything that can still be embarrassing for our Princess Ming'an? β
Ming An lowered her head, she unconsciously played with the crumpled handkerchief in her hand, and the crumpled handkerchief revealed the little princess's chaotic heart: "I don't have anything to do, I just feel too fast." Princess Ming'an threw down the veil casually, she supported her cheek with one hand, her eyes looked at the lake surface that was particularly gentle and tranquil because of the afterglow of the sunset, and her bright eyes rarely flashed a trace of confusion: "This is too fast, it feels like a moment, an instant, you suddenly have a fiancΓ©, and I am about to get married." After you have made the ceremony, you will marry that Fang Tianji in a few days. And I'm getting married. β
Jin Ran remembered the meeting with Princess Ming'an in the palace, the little princess at the beginning was very similar to today's dress, they were all wearing a red dress like a hot flame, and the skirt was tumbling, as if the flame was burning.
"Yes, soon, you and I will soon marry into someone else's family." Jin Ran smiled slightly, and there was a bit of melancholy in his voice.
"Jinran, I'm a little scared." Princess Ming'an muttered to herself, she saw Jin Ran's surprise at her, and hurriedly added in a panic: "Ran'er, I'm not saying how your family is, the Sheng family is very good, and Lord Sheng and Mrs. Sheng treat me very well." I'm ......."
"It's fine." Jin Ran held Princess Ming'an's hand with her backhand, she touched Princess Ming'an's head comfortingly, and there was a little smile in her tone: "I know what you mean." I'm scared too. Jin Ran stood up slowly, and a breeze lingered on the lake in the evening, and the breeze with a faint floral fragrance gently blew Jin Ran's broken hair.
Her face was calm and quiet: "I'm also afraid, I'm afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, I'm afraid that my lover will change her appearance after getting married." I'm afraid everyone isn't what I used to be. β
Jin Ran's figure was a little transparent under the light of the sunset, Princess Ming'an suddenly had some heart palpitations, and Jin Ran seemed to be about to disappear suddenly. Princess Ming'an hurriedly grabbed Jinran, she held Jinran's hand tightly, and her heart palpitated: "What are you doing?" It's windy at night, so don't stand up and blow the wind. You're going to be in time tomorrow, and if you're sick, it's not fun. β
Jin Ran smiled, she sat down obediently to her friend's wishes: "Ming'an, do you regret it?" Jin Ran suddenly spoke.
Princess Ming'an was puzzled and asked: "Regret, what regret?" β
Jin Ran patiently asked: "Do you regret choosing to marry my third brother?" β
Princess Ming'an's voice became brisk: "I don't regret it!" She glanced at Jin Ran inexplicably: "Why did you suddenly ask me this question?" Your third brother is the only one I want to marry. If there is one thing in my life that I can't regret, it is the matter of choosing to marry your third brother. β
The corners of Jin Ran's lips were slightly hooked: "Then my third brother is your best choice, right?" β
Princess Ming'an was a little shy, but continued to nod: "Yes." There is no better option than him. Princess Ming'an remembered that when she went out with him, she encountered heavy rain, and the figure who protected herself firmly only felt a burst of sweetness in her heart.
"Now that you've made the best choice, let it be fate." Jin Ran smiled: "The best choice represents the best result, besides, the two of us are a county lord and a princess, do they dare to do anything to the two of us?" And, do you believe my brother would do something bad? β
"Just him?" Princess Ming'an said disdainfully: "If I give him a hundred dares, he won't dare to find me any concubines outside!" β
"If he dares, I'll break his leg with my whip!" Princess Ming'an said domineeringly.
