From the red building to penetrate the heavens

Chapter 250 Another World 10: Calculation

Hearing that Minglan was not doing well, Wang Ruofu immediately felt much better, and said angrily: "I didn't realize that Minglan is also dishonest and has a shady mind."

Mother Liu agreed, "No, the fourth girl seems to be quite clever on weekdays, but the result is that the sixth girl, who has always been quiet, didn't give in too much. As soon as she made a move, the fourth girl suffered a big loss. If not for the fourth girl, she still had a little bit of trouble. You must be smart and react in time, otherwise the fourth lady would be kneeling in the ancestral hall right now."

Wang Ruofu shook his head and sighed: "A biting dog doesn't bark. This girl Minglan was raised by an old lady. She has the same sinister streak. I thought I got along so well with the officials back then, but the old lady couldn't see it. Lin Sushuang came out to poke my heart."

"Mother, what do you mean by this? Why does this have to do with grandma? Didn't you say that Lin Sushuang is all charming?" Ru Lan asked in confusion.

Suddenly someone interrupted, and Wang Ruofu was startled. He followed the sound and saw that it was Ru Lan, and then felt a little relieved.

"Why are you here?"

Rulan walked to Wang Ruofu and sat down next to her, saying, "I forgot to ask how Minglan was doing in the ancestral hall, so I wanted to come over and ask."

Wang Ruofu smiled and said: "Oh, I don't know you yet. Let me tell you, your father will personally see your big words, so you'd better be honest."

"I know." Rulan said.

"By the way, mother, what about what I just asked you?" Rulan asked.

Wang Ruofu didn't want his daughter to see those dirty things, so he opened his mouth to change the subject. Seeing this, Liu's mother persuaded: "Madam, just talk to Gu Niang. The girl is already hairpin now and can't pass the third grade." She will be leaving home in two years, and there are some things she always needs to know. Only in this way can she not suffer disadvantages in the future."

This last sentence can be regarded as speaking to Wang Ruofu's heart. Seeing Ru Lan's heartless appearance, Wang Ruofu sighed and recounted the past.

"When Lin Sushuang first came to join us, I was a newlywed. Your father treated me very well. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are very affectionate. Your eldest sister came here at that time."

"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. The old lady didn't want to see the good relationship between me and the official, so she pushed that bitch Lin Sushuang out. From now on, the official's thoughts are no longer with me."

Rulan tilted her head, frowned and asked, "That's not right, my mother didn't say that before."

Wang Ruofu raised his lips and smiled softly. While arranging Ru Lan's hairpins, he said: "Silly boy, Lin Sushuang was only ten years old when she first entered the house. She was alone. All the people around her were arranged by the old lady. How can her every move escape the eyes and ears of the old lady? As long as the old lady intends to stop her, the official and that bitch Lin Sushuang will definitely not be able to do it. "

When Ru Lan heard such an inside story for the first time, her eyes widened in surprise, "No way?"

Mother Liu sighed and added: "Also, if the old lady really wants Lin Xiaoniang to marry outside, she will never let her have too much contact with the master. Just like the countess brings Mr. Liang to the door, the master will not let her go easily. It’s like a girl going out to meet and entertain guests.”

Rulan's brows furrowed tightly, somewhat understanding, yet a little confused, "Why would grandma do this?"

Wang Ruofu said angrily: "What else can I do? I just don't see the deep relationship between me and the official."

Mother Liu then added: "After all, the old lady is not the master's biological mother, so there will be some gap between them. In addition, the eldest lady and the master were in good terms at that time. The master would also go to the old master for advice when encountering any problems. After going back and forth, it was inevitable that the old lady was a little neglected." "Later, maybe the old lady had a different idea, so she thought of arranging Xiaoniang Lin in the master's room, whispering in her ears, saying good things, and easing the relationship between her and the master. .”

Ru Lan said thoughtfully: "What happened next? I don't think the relationship between Lin Xiaoniang and her grandmother is very good."

Wang Ruofu said proudly: "Huh, who knows how careful your grandmother is, I can see it at a glance. The old lady plotted against me, I will take revenge and go back, alienate them, and call the old lady The plan fell through.”

Mother Liu's mouth curled up slightly, with a smile on her face. She was reluctant to expose Wang Ruofu, so she just nodded in agreement with a smile.

After understanding the ins and outs, Rulan suddenly remembered that not only was the relationship between Lin Sushuang and the old lady tense, but so was Wang Ruofu's.

"No wonder."

Wang Ruofu was sitting next to Ru Lan. Hearing Ru Lan's slight sigh, he asked in confusion: "What's the wonder?"

Rulan blurted out: "No wonder grandma doesn't like Mo Lan; no wonder Minglan can ride a horse, play polo, and so many things, but the eldest sister can't. She learned tea tasting and flower arranging with us later. She didn't learn it." It would be a joke to my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law in the Yuan family..."

Hearing this, the faces of Wang Ruofu and Liu's mother suddenly darkened. Seeing this, Ru Lan did not dare to say the next words.

Wang Ruofu gritted his teeth and swallowed the depression in his chest, held Ru Lan tightly in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Ru'er, remember, if you encounter a situation like mine in the future, you must be more vigilant. Take precautions before they happen. Don't wait until they have feelings in private before dealing with it. By then it will be too late! Look at Miss Lin, and then look at me, a living example."

Ru Lan realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded seriously, "Okay."

Jia She, who had nothing to do and used his mental strength to check everyone's situation, noticed this and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid the old lady really had such a plan.

For example, in the screen case, Lan Minglan was punished by Sheng Hong to kneel in the ancestral hall. Wang Ruofu went to the old lady to find a solution, but the old lady didn't tell her clearly. Wang Ruofu didn't understand the meaning of her words. He was angry and went outside. He said that the old lady was not Sheng Hong's biological mother, so she didn't love Minglan. Her previous love was just a show.

It was just a complaint to a close attendant. When King Ruofu came to the door again and begged the old lady to find a way to save Rulan Minglan, the old lady took the lead and spoke out in a strange way.

At this time, the old lady had not been in charge of the family for nearly twenty years, and she was still so well-informed, which shows her methods, let alone back then.

Anyway, Jia She didn't believe that a person like the old lady could not cure a little orphan girl raised under her knees.

In the same way, the old lady and Wang Ruofu were also inseparable from the death of Minglan's mother, Wei Shuyi.

From Naji (the man notifies the woman's parents of the good news in writing or orally after the marriage, this stage is also called "contracting") to Nazheng (the man sends the bride price to the woman's home, this stage is commonly known as the betrothal. After the betrothal, the woman usually will Return part of the betrothal gift, or prepare another gift as a return gift to the man), which usually takes three to two months.

In other words, from the date set by the Yuan family for the appointment to the official appointment, it will only take three or four months at most, not more than half a year.
