lnmao.org, do you know the fastest update? Do you know? It should be the latest chapter of Green Fat Red Thin!
Just after the new year, Zhuangzi handed a message to Shou'antang, saying that Cuiwei's Laozi was not looking at her eyes anymore, pointing to her daughter to get married as soon as possible, so that she could be happy, and beg the old lady for grace; Cuiwei is in the family The old lady, brothers and sisters are already married, parents just can't worry about her, the old lady nodded, and told Mom Fang to allocate thirty taels of silver for her family's dowry.
Ming Lan got the letter and immediately pulled out twenty taels of silver from her room to add makeup to Cuiwei. Cuiwei didn’t push her hands: "Good girl, this can’t be done. Your Qianer has already given two gold and silver head jewelry and Five horses of satin, this is thick enough, thinking about the color hairpin in the wife’s room when she got married, the wife gave only twenty taels of silver, because I am an old lady’s room, this is thicker, girl you If you give it again, it will not look good at the wife's side, and the sister in the yard will get married again, how do you do it?"
Ming Lan was very touched, knowing that she was thinking for her own sake, she was a little bit silly: "I know the kindness of my sister, but... If it wasn't for you to worry about me, I would marry last year."
Cuiwei looked at no one on the left and right, then quietly closed the doors and windows, and lowered the curtains in the middle of the door, before saying: "There is something I wanted to ask the girl. This time I go, the girl must be promoted. The young ones have already watched. The girl has an idea?" Minglan had thought about this question a long time ago, and asked: "What do you think?"
Cui Wei said without hesitation: "If you talk about qualifications, you should be Yancao, if you talk about being sharp and capable, you should be Jiuer, if you talk about...the temperament, you should be Ruomei." Most of the dowry girls have to do the house for the uncle. Yes, Cuiwei thought of Ruomei and hesitated.
Minglan pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I want to lift the green branch."
Cuiwei was surprised: "Lvzhizui is not forgiving, how can a girl miss her?"
Minglan smiled without saying a word, and asked: "If you mention one, you will have to enter another little girl. Mother You has been recommending her daughter to me these days, what do you think?"
Cuiwei thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Mother You is not a worry-free, she is suppressed by the girl. Now if you get her family, wouldn't it be wrong again? It's better to go straight to the old lady, wife, or Big grandmothers and dignitaries seem to show that you respect your elders, and secondly, if there are things that happened in that year, I don’t think they will send anything inconspicuous.
Ming Lan nodded and said with a serious face: "Good sister, what you said is reasonable." She pushed the box of twenty taels of silver on the table and said solemnly: "Sister For me, I’m tired and offended a lot of people. You have to collect this silver. If you are afraid of attracting attention, don’t say anything and press it at the bottom of the box."
Cuiwei was a little choked, and the son of my own master rewarded people for gaining a good reputation. They all wished to talk about them. The six girls were kind-hearted and did not vain their efforts. Suddenly thought of Fang's suggestion that day. Cui Wei was very moved when she said that the sixth girl would marry in the future and let her family be a companion house.
Cuiwei was brought up by Fang's mother's direct line, and the news was transmitted quickly. The next day the old lady went to Minglan, and asked with a smile, "You want to mention that girl Luzhi? What do you think." /
Ming Lan frankly confessed: "Jiu'er won't be with me for long. Mother Liu will definitely keep her daughter, so it's useless to mention it; Yancao and Danju are both of the same temperament and lack of power; She became a little arrogant, but now she still looks down on this and she doesn’t dare to dare that. If she really mentions the big girl, she might get into trouble. In the end, the granddaughter thinks it’s better to have green branches. , Quite a bit of hatred and hatred, good training, it may not be unavailable;...I thought so at first."
The old lady said: "In the beginning? What about now?"
Ming Lan shook her head and shook her head like an adult: "After that, I thought about it. It's nothing to make their sisters feel resentful. Let's mention Yancao on the basis of seniority. She is thoughtful and kind, and keeps her by her side."- Benefit is not the focus, stability is overriding everything.
The old lady listened and nodded slightly and said: "I didn't think it was right, now it's good for you to think so, hey...some things can be cured by doing nothing,... after all, it's bigger." The tone was quite emotional. Looking at Ming Lan's fair and beautiful face, she remembered the delicate and tender little fat doll, and now she can take care of things and think carefully, and the hen is in a good mood.
After the first lunar month, Hai’s father, Mrs. Hai, was leaving Beijing. Before leaving, Mrs. Qianhai came to Shengfu specially, took her daughter to give a lot, and talked with Wang for a while. Words, the tone was all modest and gentle, but Minglan and the few went out to meet and went back to the room. The three Lans met and ate tea in Minglan's room as usual.
"Mrs. Hai is really kind, and she speaks so politely and decently." Mo Lan is very envious of the noble demeanor. "I heard that Master Hai is now the third-rank chief minister to participate in politics."
Rulan smiled and said: "Naturally, in-laws."
Mo Lan glanced at Rulan, blew the tea bowl, and said: "That's not necessarily true. Last time we went to Zhongqin Bo's House, the big sister's mother-in-law was not as good at talking, so she sat for a long time before serving snacks and tea."
Rulan will stare again.
Damn, you will die if you don't fight one day! Minglan sighed and turned off the topic, pretending to be curious: "Hey, is it really not allowed to take concubines at home? Then the sister-in-law's sister-in-law are not very comfortable."
Rulan was bypassed, and proudly said: "The family is a scholar of generations. I don’t know how many scholars and appointees have come out of the family. The rules are strict; but because of this, there are more powerful and powerful people who want to marry into the Hai family. I'm gone, they are more careful in choosing a daughter-in-law than the best scholar in the sage. They want character, talent, appearance, and family background. They are not married or married!"
The last sentence was long and dragged, and I deliberately said it to the other two Lans. Ming Lan was thick-skinned, and it was nothing. Knowing that she was just a half-hearted copycat daughter, she just sighed; Mo Lan was angry. He rushed up and said with a sneer: "What great house rules? Yes! You can't take a concubine, but you don't have to pay less for the house, oh, and there are people who set up a house outside, huh, it's just for fame and reputation. /
"Really?" Minglan realized that her intelligence system was too backward.
Ru Lan Qiang argued: "When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and those branches of Haimen have a complicated population. How can we manage it?"
Ming Lan watched with trepidation as Mo Lan put her beloved cup on the table. It was dangerous and not broken.
I only heard Mo Lan sneer and said: "I didn't say anything, but I think it's really difficult to be famous. It can't be held, and what is it for such a big name?"
If Lan is half dead, Ming Lan feels nothing. Looking for monogamy in ancient official houses is as difficult as looking for innocent men in stallions. Since you are an ancient woman, you have to look a little bit more and don’t be embarrassed. Yourself.
A few more days later, Cuiwei said goodbye to the old lady and Minglan, and asked the family to pick them up. Yancao was promoted, and the sisters congratulated them together. Then a little girl named Cuixiu came from Shou’antang to fill the vacancy. Eleven or twelve years old, clever and smart, and soon got acquainted with the girls from Mu Cangzhai. Minglan saw that everyone was happy, so she asked Danju to wring two or three taels of silver with copper scissors to give to the mothers in the kitchen. I bought two tables, and put a bolt on the courtyard door earlier, so that the girls would have a few drinks, and they were also happy.
"The girls are kind too. Even if these little hoofs are happy, they are all drunk and awkward. Thanks to your mother's absence, otherwise they may gossip; now they are all on the kang, so I Don't worry." Dan Ju only toasted a glass of wine, then came out to look at the room, "It's nothing more than Yancao, but Xiao Tao's carelessness did not come to guard the fire; still if the eyebrows wink and did not drink A few cups, now I’m carrying a lantern to check the house."
Ming Lan Shicai also drank a few cups, dizzy, looking at the Danju that was busy making her bed and stacking quilt, and said leisurely: "This time the Chinese New Year is so busy, they are not happy. They are all at a playful age, so pitiful, so I just drank Cuiwei’s wedding drink. Oh, I don’t know how is Cuiwei? How good is the groom to her? Did you bully her?"
Dan Ju smiled back and said: "The marriage was seen by Fang's mother. It won't be bad." He was a little sad, "Being a girl can be as decent as Cuiwei's sister. It's good luck. Let's be a girl. The master is already a blessing. If those who ignore it, they might be ruined by others."
"...How's Keer?" Minglan asked suddenly.
Danju flattened the mattress, and put a blanket on the smoked cage to bake, and sighed, "Aunt Lin is really cruel. While the old lady went to Youyang, the lady was busy moving to Beijing. I actually paired such a delicate girl with the marinated son who was a wife at the front door. The man was drinking and gambling. It was a bit unbearable, but Ke'er was **** with his hands and feet and gagged. He was gone in less than two months. ."
"Didn't the third brother say anything?"
Dan Ju's always gentle face also showed some disdain: "San Ye cried hard, and after three or five days, he also opened his hands. Now his favorite is Rou'er."
Ming Lan was a little sad, and said softly: "The old lady is right, and my daughter's family is most afraid of greed." Ming Lan fell for a while, recovered and said with a serious face: "From tomorrow, you and Yancao Xiaotao They must restrain the words and deeds of the big guys, not allow them to chat and laugh with the outsiders at will, and be strict."
Dan Ju looked at Minglan's solemn expression and seriously responded.
Ming Lan is lying on the kang between the shoots, copying a larger script for the old lady. The old lady Sheng is sitting on the Luohan bed outside the main hall, and the mother and daughter Wang and Hualan work hard. The child stretched his neck and looked out. The old lady couldn’t stand it anymore. The laid-back old lady couldn’t stand it anymore, and she said: "Be safe. The He family lives in Huichun Hutong. Even if it’s not dawn, it’s not so fast to go out. I know I'm impatient, how can I keep it secret?"
Hua Lan sneered embarrassedly: "Grandmother, granddaughter, granddaughter... don't you want to trouble you?" The old lady gave her a white look and cursed: "I knew it was great earlier, so I won't delay it for many years. !"
The three of them were unclear, but Minglan inside also guessed what was going on.
While talking, the maid outside preached: The guest is here.
The old lady said in a hurry: "Hurry up and call out the girl in there." She was busy inviting people in.
There was a sound of people walking, Ming Lan raised the curtain and went out, and saw Mrs. He who hadn't seen him for a long time. A slender young man stood beside him. Mrs. Sheng said in a rare and affectionate manner: "You can be regarded as looking forward to you. , Please sit down."
Lao Mrs. He is still the same, with a rosy, chubby face and gray hair neatly curled up, and she uses a white jade auspicious four-dollar flat hairpin to live in. After a period of greetings between the two sides, she called the younger generation to see her. Hualan and Minglan kowtow to Mrs. He first, and then He Hongwen salutes Mrs. Sheng and Wang.
Wang took He Hongwen to the left and looked right, and praised: "Sure enough, he is a talented man. It's strange that the old lady will be full of praise when she returns to the capital." Then he asked He Hongwen mildly. The old lady couldn't help interrupting what books he read and what he liked to eat, and smiled: "Okay! Let the child sit down quickly. Are you asking someone or forcing debt!"
Everyone in the room laughed, Hua Lan stepped forward to hold Wang, and smiled back and said, "It's not surprising that Mrs. He, my mother likes it." Mrs. He shook her head and saw Ming Lan in a blink of an eye. Smiled: "After a year, Mingya'er has grown taller." The old lady smiled: "If this child is not long-minded, he knows that he is naughty."
Hua Lan's complexion glowed, and she smirked: "Grandma looks at you, she must be humble, and she can't hide the sixth sister like this, my sister is filial and sensible."
Wang also jokingly said: "This is the truth. Among my daughters, six girls are the most heartwarming."
With such a strong compliment, Ming Lan was a little dumbfounded, and a weirdness appeared in her heart. She looked at He Hongwen who was sitting opposite, and saw that his face was flushed and his eyes were dodging. When she looked over, he moved like a rabbit. Open your eyes.
Minglan’s heart rang loudly. She looked at the five old, middle-aged and small women present, and wondered: Is there anything they know, but they don’t?
Everyone said something again, and the old lady Sheng pointed to Hualan and smiled: "My granddaughter has brought a few thick piles for her use. I'll take a look at it and I'm about to give you some Go, why don't you come in and see, which one do you like?"
Mrs. He's wrinkled eyes smiled into a flower, a bit mischievous, and pretended to say: "Since your granddaughter sent it, it's better to ask her to accompany me."
"Go together, go together." The old lady Sheng smiled, Hua Lan seemed to blush, but she quickly stood up, and the two old ladies walked to the back room, and the servant girl from He Mansion followed. He also followed in with a fat box.
These few words are like a code, Minglan secretly said: As for, isn't it just an infertility specialist clinic?
At this point, I can’t get out, leaving the absent-minded Wang clan to talk to He Hongwen a little bit, and after a cup of tea, Wang clan has asked He Hongwen for the third time, "How good is Lingtang 'After that, she couldn't help it anymore, and smiled unnaturally: "I'll go look inside too."
Then only Minglan and He Hongwen were left. They sat across from each other, one holding a tea bowl carefully looking at the pattern on the head, and the other with both eyes facing the ground, as if a begonia flower grew on the stall; they knew each other Yes, I was joking a few times before, but this time Ming Lan clearly felt the atmosphere was strange, so she decided not to speak first.
The room was silent, and only heard the charcoal fire in the brass heater of the seven-story lotus platform beeping, or He Hongwen couldn't help it first, coughed slightly, and said: "How can this material be returned? Didn’t finish reading?"
Ming Lan also replied similarly: "There must be too much material."
"No matter how much material, it should be finished." He Hongwen was a little uneasy.
"The materials must be too good." Minglan was calm.
After a while of silence, the two looked at each other and laughed at each other. He Hongwen's handsome eyes grew like a spring lake. The people watching were warm and warm. He sighed heavily: "I'm not a doctor. It's easy."
"Why bother? Isn't it possible to look openly?" Ming Lan also exhaled.
He Hongwen smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Since there has been a taboo and doctor, let alone women, the word ‘malignant’ is the most hurtful, and your big sister is also helpless."
Ming Lan looked at him quietly and said: "Do you also think it is not easy for women?"
He Hongwen's eyebrows are warm, like a hot spring, and he earnestly said: "If grandmother was born as a boy, her medical skills must be known in the world, but she can only do housework in her boudoir. Teach me this incompetent grandson."
Ming Lan smiled: "No, how can you not become a weapon? I heard that you have opened a clinic, but since it is a medical pharmacy, I don't wish you a prosperous business, congratulations on making a fortune."
He Hongwen was amused. He glanced at Minglan's blushing and somewhat abnormal cheeks. After thinking about it, he straightened his face and said: "Since Meng Mizuan is a master, I will say something next."
"Please speak." Minglan didn't care.
"Don't drink cold wine, especially before going to bed."
"Uh--" Minglan covered her mouth reflexively, a kind of irritation that was pierced on the spot, and said vaguely, "You--" I was about to deny, seeing He Hongwen looking at herself with a smile. With a certain look, he recognized the counsel and said angrily, "You can see it too?"
He Hongwen pretended to sigh: "It can't be done, who told me to be so good."
Ming Lan held her sleeves and muffled softly, almost smiling and bending over.
Hongwen looked at Minglan on the opposite side, bending his mouth, revealing two cute white teeth, embarrassed and embarrassed, the green eyebrows reflected on the white, almost transparent skin, like a peacock blue Good color.
He got hot, he lowered his head, not daring to look again.
