Chapter 359: Gambling
Shou Antang.
"Grandmother Wan'an." Minglan slowly walked into the house and asked Mrs. Sheng for peace.
"Come, sit down and talk." Mrs. Sheng motioned for Minglan to sit down.
"Thank you, Grandmother."
As soon as Minglan sat down, Mrs. Sheng spoke: "In the afternoon, Mrs. Wu came to the mansion, guess, what is she doing in the mansion?"
"Mrs. Wu is here?" Minglan was surprised.
As the most ill-informed master in this house, if it weren't for Mrs. Sheng mentioning it, Minglan wouldn't have known that Mrs. Wu had come.
"Yes, the post delivered in the morning, I went to the door after lunch, and it was specially pointed out that I was going to visit the lord and mother of the Sheng family." Mrs. Sheng prompted.
It doesn't matter if Minglan is not well-informed, she has her own grandmother to help her.
Her ears are Minglan ears.
"Grandmother, Mrs. Wu came in such a hurry, it shouldn't be for her family Liulang, right?" Minglan said worriedly, and her mood was a little inexplicably irritable.
[In view of the general environment,
Among the three Lan, Minglan is the most intelligent, and Mrs. Sheng only gave a slight hint, and she got some clues.
But it was this thought that made her a little confused.
Liang Jialiulang She had met once or twice at the polo club, and the two had never even said hello.
But Mrs. Wu admired her very much, saying that she had her own demeanor back then, and her words and demeanors had hinted that Minglan was her ideal daughter-in-law.
This.... Lady Wu is here for her?
But she had already politely refused.
Mrs. Sheng observed the rare panic on her good granddaughter's face, and her face was a little complicated.
This granddaughter first stayed by Wei Xiaoniang's side for eight years, and Wei Xiaoniang taught her daughter the most is to keep her head down, be careful, and don't be strong in everything.
Later, she has served by her side so far, she closes the courtyard door all the year round, eats fasting and worships the Buddha without asking about the affairs of the house, and is pure and comfortable, although it has also forged the calmness of this granddaughter, but sometimes Mrs. Sheng will have a headache in private, this good granddaughter is too dull, and she is short of the lively vitality that this age should have.
Now that she is talking about marriage, she finally shows some panic and panic that a normal girl should have, and Mrs. Sheng is quite relieved.
But when she thought of Minglan and the few times she panicked, it was all because of one person, and Mrs. Sheng seemed to see her shadow in her.
Asking what the situation in the world is, the straight people are confused, lose their sense of proportion, and their hearts are filled with many sorrows.
"Mrs. Wu's visit is indeed related to marriage, but not for her family Liulang, but for Grandpa Zhang." Mrs. Sheng didn't play dumb riddles, and directly threw out the answer.
Without a pause, Mrs. Sheng said bluntly, "The Zhang family has taken a fancy to the four girls, and you."
"Me?!" Minglan stretched out her hand and pointed at herself, her face full of disbelief.
How could it be herself?
Sister Zhang clearly said that the little grandfather has a pair of sisters in his heart.
My sister is true and pure, and my sister is gentle and considerate.
Isn't that the fourth sister and the fifth sister?
Hey, that's not right!
Minglan recalled again and again that the sister of the Zhang family said that her sister was indeed her sister who was true and pure, and her sister was gentle and considerate.
True and pure, this clearly refers to the fifth sister.
Then her sister is not herself....
Minglan couldn't wait to hammer herself to death at this time, it turned out that Sister Zhang had already made it very clear, but she was confused when she heard the front, and subconsciously excluded herself, thinking that the pair of sisters were two sisters.
If this is the case, then after she was injured on the polo field that day, Little Grandpa Zhang was furious, not for Sister Zhang, but for her.
Thinking of this, Minglan face instantly turned from white to red, and there seemed to be heat rising above her head.
.........
Some rejoice, others grieve.
Even if it's a house blood
People who are connected by the vein, and the joys and sorrows are not connected.
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
"Winter!"
"Impossible! No way!"
In the Lin Qi Pavilion, the servants who were supposed to be busy with their respective tasks gathered together in twos and threes to talk, looking up at a room from time to time.
The door and windows of the room were closed, and there was a gloomy atmosphere, which made people dare not approach.
From time to time, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the sound of objects shattering, and the screams of women.
Sheng Changfeng walked into the yard angrily, didn't bother with these lazy subordinates, only a day after the accident of the little lady, he felt that the yard had completely changed.
It was as if a person's spine bones had been sucked away, and it was like a spirit that had been discharged, and overnight, this courtyard was so strange that he felt terrible.
Looking at the door of Mo Lan's boudoir, Sheng Changfeng raised his foot and kicked it.
The door was not kicked open as he had imagined, and a backlash came from the soles of his feet, and at the same time there was a sharp pain in his big toe, and he let out a sigh of surprise, and the whole person fell backwards to the ground.
The roaring in the room stopped abruptly.
After a while, there was a movement of locking the room, and then the door slammed open, and Mo Lan, who was distracted and the tears on her face were clearly visible, glanced at Sheng Changfeng who was rolling on the ground with her feet expressionlessly, and turned her head back to the house without saying a word.
Sheng Changfeng gritted his teeth and shouted at the long entourage behind him, "What are you doing there?!" Why don't you come and help me up?"
Chang Sui, who failed to eliminate his sense of existence, stepped forward to help Sheng Changfeng, and helped him into Mo Lan's room amid Sheng Changfeng's scolding.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw fragments of broken vases, as well as several overturned shelves, on which books and other items were piled up and scattered like garbage.
Swallowing his saliva, he lowered his head even lower, not daring to raise his head, for fear that if he raised his head, he would meet a pair of resentful eyes.
helped Sheng Changfeng to sit on the couch, and in the movement of the master's hand, he fled here with the soles of his feet as if fleeing, and did not forget to close the door before leaving, separating the world inside and outside the door.
"Peng!"
The sound of smashing things is heard again.
Sheng Changfeng said coldly: "You just smash it, if you have the ability, you can smash everything in this room!" It's a hopeless thing, and only you are daydreaming all day long, whether it's the Qi Mansion or the British Mansion, which one can you climb?
Now you are dead to this heart, and you will get rid of that thought!
Although my father didn't give a direct reply, you and I both know my father's character, and there is no possibility of refusal! Rulan's marriage into the British Mansion is already a foregone conclusion, just waiting for His Majesty to give her a marriage."
"You're talking nonsense!" Mo Lan rushed to Sheng Changfeng like a mad beast and roared, and his saliva sprayed Sheng Changfeng's face.
Sheng Changfeng pushed her away in disgust, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his face: "You say I'm talking nonsense? The Zhang family asked someone to come to talk about the marriage, and it was clear that the daughters-in-law of the Zhang family were Rulan and Minglan! There are only three daughters to be married in our family, and the two younger ones have been hit, but only you, the eldest one, are left. The facts are in front of you, and the little grandfather has never taken a fancy to you at all! Don't be sentimental all day long, talk nonsense, and even lie to yourself in the end!"
It wasn't the first time he had said something like this, but Mo Lan hadn't listened to it once.
Relying on Sheng Hong's preference for Lin Xiaoniang, he and Mo Lan, the sister of the same mother, have a lot of light, and the life of the concubine and the concubine is no worse than that of the concubine.
But that's just in this house!
The Sheng family's "good reputation" of spoiling concubines and killing wives has become a joke in many mouths in Tokyo, Mo Lan and Lin Xiaoniang are women, they can't go out of the door of the mansion all day long, and they naturally can't hear anything when they close the door, even if someone overhears some news, they don't dare to tell the master, otherwise they will be tired of living and asking for hardship.
But he was different, and followed a group of friends to mingle in the wine shops and teahouses in Bianliang City, and he also went to a lot of those fireworks places.
These mixed places are the most fond of talking about
These gossip anecdotes, a few cups of yellow soup in the stomach, the mouth is like there is no door, and you dare to spit out anything.
Just from the friends he made, there were people who liked to make fun of his family's affairs.
Between the lines, inside and outside the words, there is a sense of disdain and contempt.
Lin Xiaoniang is majestic in the house, and the eldest lady is out of breath, but outside the house, the reputation is so ugly and ugly, charming the lord, respect and inferiority....
The daughter of such a woman who grew up by her side is willing to be Grandpa Zhang, and it is impossible for the British couple to agree to let him marry home!
Sheng Changfeng looked at Mo Lan with a cold face: "A-Niang is not here now, and the people in this courtyard are all thinking about it, maybe one day someone will carry you and me to Wei Ruixuan's side." Whatever you do and say in this courtyard will be told to the other side. If it reaches my father's ears and disgusts him, what good fruit can you eat!
If Rulan and Minglan get married, your father will not keep you at home for long, and when the time comes, you will still count on your father and eldest lady to find you a better family, so that you can live a more comfortable life in the second half of your life.
Haven't you always been the best at thinking about yourself? I didn't think I needed to say much."
Mo Lan was pushed to the ground by Changfeng, and when her right hand was supporting the ground, she was accidentally stabbed by the fragments of the vase on the ground, and bright red blood oozed out.
But Mo Lan seemed to have lost consciousness, and Sheng Changfeng's words echoed repeatedly in her mind.
Did she lie to herself?
How can it be!
Brother Gongjin has her in his heart, and he must be stubborn and unable to resist his parents, so he was forced to choose Rulan's dead girl!
Mo Lan's palms were clenched, the fragments pierced deeper, and the blood flowed more happily, her eyes showed a fierce look, Rulan's dead girl was obviously inferior to her everywhere!
The appearance is just the posture of an ordinary person, a rotten wood head, and her figure is not as graceful as her, and she doesn't know those pleasing methods, how could she lose to this person!
Daughter-in-law!
Mo Lan almost gritted her teeth with hatred, and it was only because Rulan had the identity of this concubine that she could cross her and enter the eyes of the Zhang family.
God wants her to obediently accept her fate?
Don't!
"Sheng Changfeng! I'm your own sister, why can't you expect me to be good at all! You failed the imperial examination, and now you are just a small person, no one is promoted, and your future career will be good!
I'm a concubine, are you just a concubine? No matter how much my father is a lake, the things accumulated by the Sheng family for several generations will only be spent on Sheng Changbai's head, and what is left to you is some leftovers that you can't look down on over there, you can only pick up people's teeth and wisdom, and you will always be trampled under your feet!
Are you willing?!"
Mo Lan grabbed Sheng Changfeng tightly, as if she had grabbed a glimmer of life: "A-Niang doesn't know when she will be able to come back, only you can help me right now!" You have to help me! You and my brother and sister are one, and by helping me, you are helping yourself!"
The hand that was grabbed by Mo Lan felt a greasy sticky feeling, Sheng Changfeng felt disgusted, shook off Mo Lan, raised his eyes and glanced at the empty courtyard outside, Sheng Changfeng bowed his head and roared: "Help you? After I fell off the list, didn't you look down on me the most? Said that I fell off the list, and you were so laughed by the people over there that you couldn't raise your head? I'm an incompetent waste, and I'm too busy to take care of myself, so how can I help you?"
"As for A-Niang, you can't count on it now, Dong Rong is back, Xue Niang inquired from him and learned that A-Niang was sold on the day she was brought back by the tooth man, Dong Rong moved out of the name of the Sheng family and the Wang family, and the people in the tooth shop refused to reveal which family it was sold to."
Sheng Changfeng's head is not an ornament, the people in the tooth shop are so secretive, they would rather offend the Sheng family and the Wang family than reveal the seller, which can only prove that in front of the tooth people, the seller's identity and status are much higher.
In it, Sheng Changfeng smelled a smell of conspiracy, but he didn't feel that he had the ability to break the game.
He's just a concubine with no official or power!
Sheng Changfeng raised his head and got up, unwilling to look at Mo Lan again, and walked towards the door, the direction was Lin Yushuang's room.
"The fields that A-Niang took out to trade
The deed paper documents of the Zhuangzi are all on Wei Ruixuan's side, but I know that it is not all that Ah Niang, she still hides some, I know where it is. If you help me, then I'll tell you where they are hidden by Ah Niang."
Sheng Changfeng's footsteps stopped and glanced back at Mo Lan.
Mo Lan looked up and smiled at him.
