Small pond in the backyard of Sheng Mansion.

In a pavilion, Xiao Tao divided a part of the snacks she brought and stuffed them into the orange.

Dan Tang stretched out his hand to take it, and the two of them stood in a row, neatly stuffing food into their mouths while looking at their master.

Minglan leaned on the railing, holding her cheek with one hand, as if looking at the lotus leaves floating on the lake, but Xiao Tao and Dan Tang both knew that the master was in a daze again.

It's just a lotus leaf, how can you look at it for a quarter of an hour?

Xiao Tao Bar chirped the last snack, looked at the empty palm, and finally couldn't hold it back: "Miss, why don't you talk to the old lady and let you go back to the school to study?" ”

The girl's recovery from her injuries is like a different person.

After learning the knitting lady or the housekeeping course arranged by Mrs. Sheng every day, the girl will no longer chat with them as before to pass the time.

Always looking at one place in a daze, day after day, looking at her feels flustered.

Minglan didn't respond, she didn't even turn her head, what would she do in the academy?

He's not there.

Dan Tangerine's mind was exquisite, but he couldn't bear to watch his girl continue to suffer from these lovesickness, and persuaded: "Girl, do you want to talk to the fifth girl or Miss Zhang?" ”

Whether it is the five girls who inquire about the news of the little grandfather all day long, or the eldest girl Zhang who is the same as the little grandfather, it is not difficult to pull out some news of the little grandfather from their mouths.

Although it is not as happy as seeing a real person, it can also talk about the sorrow of lovesickness.

It seemed that the heavens heard her words, and before Minglan could react, a cheerful and crisp voice like the call of a lark came from far and near: "Sixth sister! Sixth sister! ”

Minglan turned around and stood up, and said to Rulan who rushed in front of her, "Fifth sister." ”

"Why are you hiding here, I've been looking for you for a long time, if it weren't for someone who said to me that I saw you coming this way, I wouldn't have been able to find you." Rulan complained in front of her.

Minglan, who had long been accustomed to Rulan's way of speaking, smiled slightly, diverted the topic and said, "Fifth sister is looking for me in such a hurry, but what's the matter?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm looking for you." Rulan nodded again and again, and just as she was about to open her mouth, she closed her mouth again, looked back at Dan Tang and Xiao Tao, and raised her eyebrows.

Dan Tang and Xiao Tao glanced at Minglan , Minglan nodded slightly, and then they retreated.

"Sixth sister, come and I'll tell you." When the two of them walked away and made sure that they couldn't hear what was being said here, Rulan pulled Minglan to sit down and said happily: "Just now my father and mother were talking, I served tea next to me, and my father said, Your Majesty said in front of the ministers of the court, saying that this time I could detect in advance that King Jing had the intention of rebelling, and Brother Gongjin deserved the first credit."

It is also said that Brother Gongjin broke Jingzhou City alone with only a thousand cavalry, captured King Jing with his own hands, and praised him for being both civil and military, and he was a pillar of the country. He gave him a lot of things, and his father also said that His Majesty intended to knight Gongjin's brother, but the central minister felt that His Majesty's title was higher and did not agree. His Majesty was unwilling to wronged Brother Gongjin, so the two sides were still at a stalemate.

According to me, those ministers are jealous, and they don't have such an excellent heir as Brother Gongjin in their own family, so they do everything they can to stop them. With such a big credit, the marquis is not a problem. ”

Hearing Rulan's words, Minglan was also very happy, but compared to the emotional Rulan, she still had to be rational: "Your Majesty Shengming, several ministers also have their own considerations, this is not something we can judge." If His Majesty crowns the little grandfather as a marquis this time, the little grandfather is twenty years old and has just embarked on his official career, and there will be opportunities for meritorious service in the future.

In the future, if you have made greater contributions, then Your Majesty will have to continue to add seals. Then after the crown prince succeeds to the throne, how do you want the new emperor to reward the little grandfather? ”

Rulan chick pecked the rice and nodded, although she didn't understand it, but listening to Minglan say, it seemed that His Majesty was thinking about Brother Gongjin, that was a good thing, then it would work.

"Sixth sister, you still know more and think more than me, if only I could have half as smart and clever as you. Don't you know, these days, my mother is looking for someone to teach me every day, learn those skills of hosting the feed, and let me learn the rules.

I studied day and night, and I had worked hard, but when I woke up, I always forgot most of it.

My mother said that if I didn't study hard, I would cut off my monthly money, take my jewelry, and not let me go out.

Why do you think there are so many rules in this world? At that time, the rules of her old man's tutoring were already cumbersome enough, but she didn't expect that it would be more troublesome to learn now. Rulan chattered.

When she returned from the racecourse outside the New Deal, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart when she learned that her sweetheart also had her in her heart, and she was happy for I don't know how many days.

Mrs. Wang looked at it and asked behind her, Rulan really couldn't resist, so she could only explain truthfully.

The news was both surprised and delighted, and under the surprise and emotion, Mrs. Wang almost fainted, and the doctor invited her.

Since then, Mrs. Wang has been in pain and happy.

It was a joy for her to marry into such a prominent family as the British Commonwealth.

But when she thought of the various rules and intrigues in the high-ranking family, she was anxious for this simple daughter, and she also complained that she was too spoiled by this daughter, and she was reluctant to suffer a little.

Mother Liu, who has served beside Mrs. Wang for many years, was twitching at the corners of her mouth and eyes at that time: ......

At the suggestion of Liu's mother, Mrs. Wang took out the money at the bottom of the box, and took a lot of favors, so she invited a famous teacher from outside to teach Rulan.

"Fifth sister, although you are complaining verbally, I see that you and Mama Kong are not at all different when they are here. Mama Kong taught you things, you shouted bitterness, and her subordinates were lazy, her old man said ten points, and when she came to you, at most only one point would go to your heart.

But now? No matter how much you complained, you didn't hear you say that you wanted to give up, and you remembered every word that the teacher invited by the eldest lady said. ”

"This time is not the other time. At that time, although I had Brother Gongjin in my heart, I also knew that with the lintel of the Sheng family, even a daughter like me would be difficult to climb the high branches of the British Mansion. I don't know how much the eldest sister is better than me, and I can only marry the second son of a powerless and powerless uncle, can I really hope that Brother Gongjin will marry me? I'm not a three-year-old.

But now I know that Brother Gongjin has me in his heart. If you have a person in your heart, then you are willing to do anything for him.

Although those rules are cumbersome and difficult to remember, I still have to memorize, I don't want to be ridiculed and lose face because I made a mistake and hurt Brother Gongjin.

I also have to learn those skills that can be used in the hosting, and I have to learn desperately. Brother Gongjin is tired enough to work for the court outside, and I don't want him to worry about things in the backyard. Rulan said with a serious face.

Minglan looked at Rulan a little stunned, obviously still with that childish face, but it exuded an intoxicating light, a little dazzling.

"Sixth sister? Sixth sister? Rulan screamed twice, and seeing that Minglan hadn't reacted yet, she raised her little hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and said, "I'm talking to you, why are you stunned again?" ”

Minglan came back to her senses, shook her head gently, took Rulan's hand and sighed: "I'm not in a daze, I just envy you." ”

"What do you envy me?" Rulan said curiously.

Envy that you can love brightly, you don't need to collect like her.

I envy that someone knows your affection, and I envy the reaction he gave, unlike her heart, which that person has not even noticed so far.

But how can these words be said to Rulan?

Minglan lowered her head and smiled slightly: "I envy the fifth sister's good life." ”

Rulan loved to hear this, and returned Minglan with a big smile.

"But there's one thing I'm not happy about." Rulan's tone changed, and she suddenly felt a little lost and depressed: "When I think that Brother Gongjin also has Mo Lan in his heart, I feel uncomfortable. I don't want him to be caught in the middle, thinking that if we both get married, he won't have to be embarrassed.

But even if I am a big lady and Mo Lan can only be a concubine, I still feel disgusted. ”

The more Rulan spoke, the more unlucky she felt, she was going to be entangled with Mo Lan for the rest of her life, right?

"Hmph, it would be nice if it was you who replaced Mo Lan."

A mindless joke was heard in Minglan's ears, but it was like a spring thunder on a sunny day, and after Rulan's words, she never heard a word again.
