Chapter 59 Zhang Guifen Suddenly Came to Sheng's House to Look for Minglan

Sheng Family, Mu Cang Zhai.

Minglan looked at the gifts and murmured:

"Mother, this is too much. How should we return the gifts?"

Wei Shuyi was also worried about this.

The Duke of Ying's Mansion must have everything.

After a pause, Wei Shuyi asked, "How is your handwriting recently?"

Minglan said truthfully, "It's OK, I can only say it's barely passable."

Wei Shuyi smiled, "Write a letter to your uncle, explain the gift from Miss Zhang to you, and ask your uncle what to do."

Minglan's eyes lit up, "I've been thinking about writing to my uncle these days, but I'm afraid my handwriting is too ugly, and secondly, mother won't let me."

Wei Shuyi said, "Even if your handwriting is ugly, your uncle won't blame you."

"It's just that mother thinks that now that there is a war at the border, it's not the right time for you to write a letter."

"But now it's winter, and it's expected that the border will have a peaceful year, and there won't be too many wars. It's just right for you to write a letter at this time."

Minglan nodded happily and wrote immediately.

This was her first time writing a letter to Wei Yuan.

In the past, Wei Shuyi wrote. She had a lot to say, but her mother only mentioned one or two sentences in the letter at most.

Now, I can finally write down what I want to say and write.

Before I know it, I have filled six or seven sheets of paper.

From small things like Mu Ge'er's daily life and Minglan playing with others to big things like Mrs. Zhang coming to the Sheng family.

In short, almost all the things that make people feel happy and joyful are written by Minglan.

Wei Shuyi read it and couldn't help but said:

"Why do you write about trivial things? You scored a few goals at the polo field and got some praise from Zhuang Xuejiu. There is no need to write about such things."

"Your uncle is a frontier general and has a lot of things to do every day. How can he have time to read so many trivial things you write."

Minglan pouted. She wanted to continue writing, but

she was afraid of being scolded by her mother.

She could only put down the pen reluctantly.

The next day.

Minglan was looking forward to her uncle's reply as soon as the letter was sent out.

In a temporary school opened by the Sheng family.

Minglan was absent-mindedly reading the book, and did not listen to what Zhuang Xuejiu said.

Suddenly, Rulan pretended to cough twice.

Minglan was still unmoved.

Finally, Zhuang Xuejiu frowned and said to Minglan:

"Minglan, what do you mean by what I just said?"

Minglan realized it later, came to her senses, hurriedly stood up, and said "ah".

Rulan whispered: "A gentleman follows the way, and I can't stop if he gives up halfway. I just said this sentence again."

Minglan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so she had to say truthfully: "Xuejiu, I don't understand."

Zhuang Xuejiu snorted, "Since you don't understand, why don't you listen carefully?"

Minglan lowered her head and was silent, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Zhuang Xuejiu recalled the delicious food Minglan made for him on weekdays, so he had to shake his head and give up,

"Sit down, listen to the class carefully, don't be distracted, otherwise I will punish you to copy the "Doctrine of the Mean" today."

Minglan nodded quickly.

After class.

Qi Heng noticed that the four treasures of the study used by the Sheng brothers were all from the imperial court, so he asked curiously:

"This kind of fine Hu brush is really a fine product. Only a few dozen of them flow into the folks every year, and the rest are used by the imperial court."

"Where did you get them from? Although the government will reward my family with some every year, it is too little after all, and I am reluctant to use them myself."

"If Brother Changbai and Brother Changfeng have connections, I will buy some and store them."

Hearing this, Sheng Changbai looked at Minglan who was sitting on the other side and smiled: "We can use the four treasures of the study in the imperial court, thanks to the sixth sister."

Sheng Changfeng took over the conversation and told the whole story.

Qi Heng suddenly realized, "No wonder"

"If Second Uncle Gu was here, he would be tempted to see such a good four treasures of the study."

A few days ago, Gu Tingye decided to leave the capital and wanted to study abroad.

Sheng Changbai smiled and said, "The young master still doesn't understand Brother Gu. How could he be interested in the four treasures of the study?"

"He loves weapons more than the four treasures."

Qi Heng smiled and said, "After all, he is from a general family."

If the Duke of Qi's Mansion didn't have Princess Pingning, Qi Heng's mother, to support it now.

The entire mansion would have fallen into decline long ago.

Even the current Duke of Qi's Mansion cannot be compared with the Duke of Ying's Mansion.

Because for now, Da Zhou can do without the Duke of Qi's Mansion, but it cannot do without the Duke of Ying.

The few people chatted for a while before dispersing one after another.

Molan followed Qi Heng and hurriedly chased him, saying, "Young Master, if you like the Four Treasures of the Study, I have a set here that I haven't used yet. You can use it?"

Qi Heng frowned, "Do you think I need those? Although they are precious, it's not a problem for me to take out a few sets from my house."

Molan looked embarrassed, "That's not what I meant."

Qi Heng smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Fourth Sister."

Rulan, who was standing by, couldn't help but sneered when she saw Molan's attitude,

"Who is this? You take your things and turn around to give them to others."

Minglan remained silent.

The two sisters quarreled with each other, and Minglan always wanted to stay out of it.

Occasionally, she would help Rulan to say a few words to Molan.

Perhaps because of Molan's mother, Minglan didn't like her very much.

After all, Minglan still remembers the scene when Wei Shuyi gave birth that day.

If Wei Yuan hadn't made arrangements in advance, I couldn't imagine the consequences.

After Mo Lan said goodbye to Young Master Qi, she came to pack her things and said to Minglan along the way:

"Sixth sister, you don't blame me, do you?"

"My young master is a guest in our Sheng family. I saw that he was interested in the four treasures of the study that Sister Zhang gave you, so I thought it would be for the sake of our Sheng family to give him my useless set."

"After all, Sixth Sister gave me such a good thing, but I would be reluctant to use it on weekdays."

Ru Lan snorted dissatisfied, "Hypocritical."

Minglan said with a normal expression: "Of course, it's just that it's not good for the fourth sister to turn around and give away a piece of her sister's heart to others."

"I'm afraid that if my sister has any good things in the future, she won't dare to give it to the fourth sister. If the fourth sister gives it to someone else, wouldn't she be betraying her sister's good intentions?"

Mo Lan was obviously taking advantage of her.

She called Zhang Guifen aunt.

Your name is Sister Zhang?

Are you familiar with me?

Mo Lan smiled and said: "Sixth sister, you made all the mistakes, and they are all my fault. Don't be angry."

Rulan took Minglan's arm and said, "Minglan, let's go and ignore her."

While talking.

Suddenly, a young woman in red came here suddenly. When she saw Minglan in the school, she immediately waved and said:

"Minglan! Minglan!"

Sanlan couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this.

It turned out that Zhang Guifen, the only daughter of a British prince, came here.

"Uncle and aunt? Why are you here?"

Minglan stepped forward quickly.

Mo Lan followed closely behind, "I've met Sister Zhang."

Zhang Guifen glared at her, then turned to look at Minglan with a smile.

"What? Are you surprised that I'm here? Or are you unhappy?"

Minglan shook her head quickly and was about to say something.

Then I heard Mo Lan say from the side: "I was quick to speak. Minglan called you aunt. I am her sister, so I should also call you aunt."

"I was just surprised to see you suddenly arrive. I overstepped the etiquette for a moment. Please forgive me."

Zhang Guifen ignored her and still looked at Minglan,

"I heard that you study with an old scholar and have to read until noon every day. You are only free in the afternoon."

"So I came here uninvited. Come on, I'll take you to Fanlou to eat something good."

The latter quickly shook his head and said: "Aunt, today I promised my mother that I would accompany her."

"How about I cook you some special dishes and have dinner at my mother's place today?"

"Are you having dinner at your mother's place?" Zhang Guifen suddenly seemed at a loss, "But, I didn't bring any gifts for your mother this time."

Minglan smiled and said: "You have already given us a lot of gifts. If you give more, we will be embarrassed to accept them."

Zhang Guifen still felt embarrassed, "Why didn't you say anything when you met the eldest sister for the first time?"

Minglan took the initiative to hold her arm and said, "Aunt, meeting gifts and so on are too vulgar. If we become a family in the future, will you still want to see others like this?"

Upon hearing the words 'family', Zhang Guifen felt as if honey had been applied to her heart and said with a smile:

"Then it's up to you. It's my fault for not thinking carefully. I came to find you today because I must have met your mother. It's all my fault."

Nowadays, in Zhang Guifen, nothing is more lethal than a family.

Of course, this family refers to the Zhang family and the Wei family.

"Minglan, you don't want your own, it sounds weird."

Zhang Guifen finally agreed to Minglan's request.

She came to Sheng's house today just on a whim.

Mo Lan said from the side: "You're right, we are all a family from now on, why do we need to see each other outside?"

It's okay if she doesn't speak.

As soon as she spoke and mentioned those three words, Zhang Guifen instantly felt unhappy. She frowned slightly, which made Mo Lan's heart tremble.

"Minglan and I were talking quietly, and it seems inappropriate for you to eavesdrop and interrupt in such an aboveboard way, doesn't it?"

Who can whisper? It must be a family.

Who uses the term eavesdropping to describe someone? It must be an outsider.

Mo Lan looked embarrassed and didn't dare to stand here anymore, so she quickly left here.

When Ru Lan behind her saw someone saying a few words, she suppressed Mo Lan tightly and couldn't help but smile.

She was not as shameless as Mo Lan. When she saw Zhang Guifen, she just bowed slightly and left.
