Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 178 The aura of the eldest lady of the Jinghaihou Mansion (ask for a monthly ticket!!!)
"Oh, Mrs. Yu, your sister Lan is so cute, no wonder Lord Hou loves her so much." Wang Ruofu praised with a smile.

Yu Yanran shook her head for a while: "Miss Wang, don't praise her anymore, this girl has always been open-minded, and Master Hou won't let me discipline her."

When Sister Lan heard her mother scolding her, she pouted and ran to Qin Hao to seek comfort. Qin Hao directly hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Your mother is duplicity, I don't know how much she loves you , I’m just embarrassed in person.”

"Really?" Sister Lan blinked her big round eyes and looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao scratched his daughter's nose, and said dotingly: "Of course, when did Daddy ever lie to you?"

Only then did Sister Lan beam with joy.

Seeing this, Hua Lan couldn't help being dumbfounded. In the past, she only heard that Qin Hao treated her daughter like a jewel in his palm, but now that she saw her, she realized that what she said was true.

"The gift from the elder is irresistible. Since it was given by Lord Hou, you can accept it." Yuan Wenshao said to Sister Zhuang, thinking that he would also prepare a gift for Sister Lan later.

Only then did Sister Zhuang put it away happily: "Thank you, Uncle Qin."

"Haha, no thanks, no thanks, from now on, you little sisters will move around more and come to my house more often." Qin Hao said as he put his daughter down and let the little sisters go out to play.

Children in ancient times were pitiful enough, especially girls, even if they were born in official families, they could not escape growing up in a small environment. Most of the brothers and sisters around them were half-brothers, and there was a competitive relationship between them. It is difficult to make friends, and there is no kindergarten for them to make friends.

Sister Lan said to Sister Zhuang: "Sister, can you come to my house tomorrow? Daddy said that there will be a temple fair in Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow. It's very lively. Let's go to a juggling show together?"

Sister Zhuang subconsciously turned her head to look at Hua Lan and Yuan Wenshao, Hua Lan nodded after thinking about it, and Sister Zhuang happily agreed.

During the meal, men and women sat at the same table. Qin Hao sat at the table with Sheng Changbai, Sheng Hong, Yuan Wenshao, Rulan's husband Wen Yanjing, Wang's uncle, and Lord Kang. Except for Yuan Wenshao, they were all literati, and the atmosphere of the chat was harmonious. Qin Hao occasionally chatted with Wen Yanjing about some military matters, so that Yuan Wenshao would not be too boring.

But the atmosphere at the women's table is a bit weird. Yu Yanran doesn't look down on Kang Wang's family at all, and basically doesn't talk to her. Although she doesn't mind Qin Hao taking a concubine, but Kang Wang's behavior of stuffing people into her house in private, Yu Yanran has already put her on the blacklist.

Minglan didn't bother to talk to her, and when everyone was toasting, she used the excuse of being pregnant to wait for them to drink a cup of tea.

Mrs. Kang felt aggrieved in her heart, and said in a strange way: "It's different after climbing a high branch, but I don't know if this married daughter still recognizes her mother's family."

Minglan hadn't refuted yet, Rulan was straightforward, and took the lead to ask: "Auntie, look at what you said, although you have been married all these years, have you ever forgotten the Wang family? I'm afraid you have troubled uncle and aunt a lot."

The lady of the Wang family suddenly fell in love with this girl Rulan. Although these words were not pleasant, they definitely spoke from her heart.

How many times the Wang family has wiped Aunt Kang’s buttocks these years, I can’t even count. It was for her husband, but she was defeated by her sister-in-law early on, otherwise her husband wouldn't have returned to Bianjing after so many years.

Wang Ruofu gave Rulan a reproachful look: "Why did you kid talk to your aunt?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smoothed things over and said: "Hehe, don't worry, everyone. My daughter and granddaughter have been used to joking around since childhood. We are not outsiders, so it's okay."

Although Kang Wangshi and Ru Lan didn't like each other, it was not easy to turn their faces in this scene, so they could only stare at each other and nodded reluctantly.

Minglan couldn't help admiring Mrs. Wang, one sentence not only resolved the embarrassment, but also gave others a sense of intimacy without treating everyone as outsiders. It really is like having an old man like a treasure.

When the meal was almost finished, Mother Fang, who was next to Mrs. Sheng, came: "The old lady would like to invite Miss Ming, Mrs. Yu, and Marquis of Qin to Shou'an Hall."

Yu Yanran was a little puzzled, it was fine for Mrs. Sheng to invite her, why did she invite her husband too.

Qin Hao didn't explain, but smiled: "It's rare that the old lady wants to see us, so let's go and say hello to the old lady together."

After talking, the three of them went to Shou'an Hall.

Yu Yanran didn't know what was going on until she arrived at Shou'an Hall.

The old lady Sheng said gratefully to Qin Hao: "This time the Yongyihou's mansion can be preserved, thanks to Jinghaihou's mercy."

Qin Hao shook his head with a smile: "The main thing is that the brave man was able to repent and help us capture the master of the Manichaeism in Jinling City. The merits and demerits are equal."

The old lady Sheng didn't say anything more when she heard the words. She knew that this kind of matter should not be put on the surface. The problems of the Yongyi Hou Mansion this time can be big or small. How the officials deal with it depends entirely on how Qin Hao said in the memorial. Write, but it is a trivial matter for Qin Hao to say a bad word about Yongyihou's mansion, lose his official position, and exile is possible.

Although she had a falling out with the Yongyihou's Mansion back then, it was her former home after all, and her feelings were still there.

"Oh, I think how heroic my father was at the beginning, but the descendants are so disdainful, and they have fallen to this level."

The word "brothel" is too embarrassing for a person with a noble character like Mrs. Sheng to say it.

Qin Hao persuaded: "Don't worry about it, old lady, Yuehua Building has been taken into government property, and it has nothing to do with Yongyihou's Mansion from now on."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your help." The old lady Sheng said that she was about to salute Qin Hao.

Qin Hao hurriedly helped her up: "Old lady, you can't do this, you are an elder, this is to shorten my life."

Seeing Qin Hao's firm attitude, Mrs. Sheng could only sigh, and did not mention this matter any more. She did not say thanks for her great kindness, and she could only hope that Sheng Changbai would repay this favor in the future.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit too serious, Ming Lan coquettishly held Old Madam Sheng's hand: "Grandmother, I saw Aunt Kang at the banquet just now, and I didn't even eat enough. Do you have anything else to eat here?"

Old Madam Sheng was really in a good mood, and said with a smile: "You little hozen, you are already a mother, but you still escape like this, you really deserve to be beaten."

Having said that, Old Madam Sheng still asked someone to set up a banquet, and Yu Yanran also smiled and echoed, "I'm a little hungry after being told by Minglan, this body is troublesome."

Old Madam Sheng happily watched the two sing together, laughing so much that the wrinkles on her forehead became more obvious.

After a while, Sister Lan took Sister Zhuang and Brother Ming and ran into the Shou'an Hall. It was hot summer, and Sister Lan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Qin Hao hurriedly wiped her with a handkerchief, Minglan called Zhuang to her to wipe her sweat, and Yu Yanran pulled her precious son to her to prepare hot towels.

Sister Lan excitedly said to Qin Hao: "Daddy, Sheng Mansion also has a lake, and there are fish in the lake. I saw many of them."

Yu Yanran looked at Minglan and said with a smile, "That's your aunt Minglan's treasured place."

Ming Lan had a look of reminiscence on her face. When she was young, she often fished there, and even caught bastards. It was one of the few places in Sheng Mansion where she could let go of everything. Because Ru Lan couldn't bear her temper, Mo Lan felt that fishing Too vulgar to be associated with.

Yu Yanran pulled her son and daughter to present to Old Madam Sheng, the two little fellows obediently followed suit, and Sister Zhuang also sweetly called out: "Great-grandmother."

Old Madam Sheng couldn't close her mouth from smiling when she saw the cute appearance of the three little guys. Among them, the one that Old Madam Sheng liked most was not the quiet Sister Zhuang, but the lively and active Sister Lan.

Seeing that old lady Sheng kept praising Sister Lan, Minglan couldn't help but coquettishly said: "It turns out that grandma likes girls who are more noisy. I should have known that I would have made trouble back then."

Old Madam Sheng laughed loudly, and pinched Minglan's cheek dotingly: "You have the nerve to say it, you didn't cause too many troubles back then?"

Minglan blushed a lot.

After the laughter, the old lady Sheng said with emotion: "You guys, don't keep the children all the time. Children of this age are just at the age where they like to play around, especially girls. They can live a comfortable life for a few years. Think back to when you were girls, didn't you also want to live a more relaxed life?"

Qin Hao has actually said this more than once, every time Yu Yanran will have something to wait for him, now that Mrs. Sheng also said the same, she has no way to refute, and can only nod reluctantly.

After staying in Mucangzhai for more than an hour, Qin Hao saw that the old lady Sheng was a little tired, so he took the initiative to leave and took the children away.

When they arrived at the front hall, everyone also said goodbye one after another. When they came to the door of Sheng's house, Sister Lan did not forget to tell Sister Zhuang.

"I will send a carriage to pick you up tomorrow, so you must come."

It made everyone laugh again.

The next day, before Yu Yanran got up early in the morning, Sister Lan crawled to the bedside to urge her, and Yu Yanran angrily grabbed her girl's soft face.

"You, you are the last one to get up on a normal day, and you have the nerve to rush me. Besides, sister Zhuang must not have gotten up yet."

Then Sister Lan started thinking about it, and after a while, she was going to ask what time it was, which made Yu Yanran unable to sleep at this time, and had to get up.

By the way, he also picked up Minglan who was lying under the covers, Minglan was in a daze and didn't know what happened, after she woke up, she couldn't help complaining: "Sister Yanran, how old are you, and you still play like this?" Boring trick."

Yu Yanran snickered: "Who told this girl not to let me sleep, don't be lazy, get up and have breakfast, Hou Ye will be back in a while, and take us to the temple fair."

Considering that the two are pregnant, they must not get out of the carriage when visiting the temple fair, and can only sit in the carriage to watch the fun, but even so, it is happy enough for the two who rarely get out of the house.

After a while, Sister Lan got into the carriage and headed to Earl Zhongqin's Mansion. She didn't let Yu Yanran follow, and sat alone in the carriage of the Hou Mansion, acting like a young lady of the Hou Mansion. Not to mention, she really looked like that. thing.

When we arrived at the gate of Earl Zhongqin's mansion, Sister Zhuang was not there. Sister Lan thought she was not up, so she asked the cleaning servants.

"Where's Miss Zhuang from your family? I have an appointment with her."

When the servants saw the emblem on the carriage, they knew that this was the eldest lady of the Jinghai Hou Mansion, and they didn't dare to neglect at all, but their tone was hesitant.

Sister Lan stared at him dissatisfied: "You don't want to deceive Miss Ben because she is young. Be careful that I will let Uncle Yuan hit you."

The servant was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Little noble, spare your life. How dare the villain expire. It's just that today Miss Zhuang was punished and locked up in the ancestral hall. I'm afraid I won't be able to travel with you."

If it was someone else, she would definitely have left, but Sister Lan went straight into the Earl of Zhongqin's mansion, followed by several guards. These are Qin Hao's personal guards. He had seen blood, and he had a murderous look on his body, and the servants along the way did not dare to stop him at all.

Sister Lan pressed the doorman to lead the way, all the way to the backyard, an old woman stopped in front of her.

"Whose little doll is this, do you know where this is? Just go in, is there any education?"

Sister Lan folded her hands behind her back, raised her head and held her chest up like a young adult: "You are not worthy to ask Miss Ben's name, Uncle Lu, this old lady is so annoying, you put her aside and tell her to shut up."

"No." Lu Huwei dutifully completed the eldest lady's explanation. If he said throw it away, he would throw it away. If he told her to shut up, he directly tied her up with her belt, tore off the corner of his clothes and stuffed it into her mouth.

Only then did Sister Lan take the man away with satisfaction, and the old woman whined there for a long time before someone saw and helped her untie.

The old lady ran to Madam Yuan in the Earl's Mansion in a mournful manner, crying, "Madam, you must be the master of this old slave."

Seeing her desolate appearance, Mrs. Yuan was also very angry. It depends on the owner to beat a dog, not to mention that this is the Earl of Zhongqin's mansion: "Who dares to be so presumptuous?"

The old woman pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall. She was a four-year-old girl with a few guards behind her. She didn't pay attention to the Earl's Mansion at all. The old slave just didn't let them enter the backyard, so she was beaten like this .

"Ancestral hall?" Mrs. Yuan was angry and anxious when she heard the words. The ancestral hall is the most important place in the family. What if someone disturbs the ancestors' heroic spirits and does not protect her eldest son?Hurry up and take someone over there.

At this time, Sister Lan had already arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall. There were two rough envoys in charge, but she was easily dealt with by the guards.

After the guards opened the gate, Sister Lan climbed over the high threshold with her short legs.

In the original dim ancestral hall, Sister Zhuang was huddled in Hualan's arms, when she heard a noise outside the door, she turned her head and saw Sister Lan walking slowly from the brilliance.

"Sister Zhuang'er, didn't we make an appointment to go to the temple fair? Aren't you going with me?" Sister Lan said aggrievedly.

Sister Zhuang burst into tears: "I'm sorry sister Lan'er, today my sister offended my grandmother and was fined to kneel in the ancestral hall, so I can't go to the temple fair with you."

Hua Lan's nose was sore and she almost cried. It was because she was useless as a mother and couldn't protect her daughter.

She knew very well that the reason Mrs. Yuan punished them to kneel in the ancestral hall was because she heard that Sister Zhuang had made an appointment with Miss Jinghai Hou to visit the temple fair today.

Mrs. Yuan has always been partial to her eldest son, and she will be close to her first if she has something good. In addition, her eldest daughter-in-law is her niece, and she is afraid that the second wife will steal her eldest son's property, so she tries her best to suppress the second wife.

Naturally, she didn't want to see the second room befriend the Jinghai Hou Mansion, as that would undoubtedly threaten the status of her eldest son, so she found a random excuse early in the morning to punish Hua Lan's mother and daughter to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Mrs. Yuan brought people to the ancestral hall. Seeing Sister Lan, a four-year-old doll, she was relieved. Fortunately, no adults came with her, otherwise she would not have dared to confront the Jinghaihou Mansion.

"Hualan, Sister Zhuang, you are so brave. You made a mistake and asked you to kneel down in the ancestral hall. How dare you team up with others to trespass in the ancestral hall and disturb the spirits of the ancestors. Can you afford it?"

Hua Lan trembled in fright, and when she took off the big hat of unfilial piety, her mother-in-law took advantage of her, and could ask Yuan Wenshao to divorce her with a divorce letter at any time.

"You yelled as soon as you came in. If you want to disturb the ancestors, you should be the one who disturbed you, right?"

Madam Yuan's complexion changed and she looked over for her reputation, only to find that Sister Lan was staring at her with her hands on her hips and a pair of round eyes.

"Who are you? I haven't held you accountable for trespassing on the ancestral hall yet!" Mrs. Yuan asked with a sullen face.

With her hands behind her back, Sister Lan walked up to Mrs. Yuan with her short legs, and said sternly.

"My father is the Marquis of Jinghai, General Huaihua, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council. My mother is the second-rank wife of the court. Who do you think I am?"

It's funny to say, the reason why Sister Lan remembers Qin Hao's many official positions is mainly because of what others said when they flattered her. This child has inherited Qin Hao's good memory, and she will remember when others say a lot.

This series of official titles and titles instantly stunned Earl Zhongqin and the others, and Earl Zhongqin could not compete with any of these official positions.

Mrs. Yuan also retreated a bit, but in front of so many servants, if she was frightened by a three or four year old girl, how would she have the face to go out in the future?
"So what, the family members of the Marquis of Jinghai have no reason to barge into other people's ancestral halls?"

Sister Lan snorted, "Who told you to lock up Sister Zhuang'er and Aunt Hualan and not let them play with me, you villain!"

Mrs. Yuan almost vomited blood on the spot, she thought she had reason, but this little baby didn't reason with her.

Hua Lan listened to it so much that she wanted to laugh. After so many years, she finally saw her mother-in-law and she would be devastated one day.

Sister Zhuang looked at Sister Lan adoringly. Her grandmother always found an excuse to punish her and her mother, and now finally someone can restrain her.

While talking, Earl Zhongqin also came. He was furious when he heard that someone trespassed on the ancestral hall, but when he came to see it, it turned out to be a little girl.

Hearing the reason of the matter again, he immediately gave Mrs. Yuan a hard look.

"Since Sister Zhuang has an appointment with Miss Jinghaihou, let's go."

Sister Lan was not satisfied: "There is also Aunt Hualan."

Earl Zhongqin was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed loudly: "Okay, Hua Lan, you can go too."

"Thank you father."

"Thank you grandfather."

Sister Lan was happy, she took Sister Zhuang and Hua Lan's hands and walked out of the ancestral hall together.

Only the loyal Earl and his wife with gloomy faces were left behind, along with a group of dumbfounded servants.
