Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 193 Sheng Changjin

Lin Xiaoniang frowned and said, "That's true."

"Mom, please help me think of a solution." Mo Lan said anxiously.

"Why are you panicking? When there is news, I will mention it in front of your father. When your father asks you to go, it means that your father's orders cannot be violated, and no one can say anything wrong with you."

Lin Xiaoniang said: "Let's eat first. There are still many days before the polo match. In the past few days, my mother has asked people to make you a new suit. Then you can dress up beautifully and go to the polo match. If you can be attracted by others, It’s good to take a fancy to it.”

"Mom, what are you talking about? My daughter wants the young father-in-law, and she doesn't want others to take notice of her." Mo Lan curled her lips and said.

"My silly daughter."

Lin Xiaoniang said earnestly: "That young master is very good, but because of this, there are so many people watching, so we can't hang ourselves on a tree, right?"

If possible, Lin Xiaoniang would naturally want her daughter to marry Qi Heng.

But she didn't put all her hopes on Qi Heng.

Even if Qi Heng is not named on the gold list, with the Qi family's family background and Qi Heng's character, the daughter of a wealthy Bianjing family is not at his choice.

If Mo Lan can really marry Qi Heng, who in this family will dare to show mercy to her in the future?

With the Qi family's status, the possibility of marrying a concubine like Mo Lan as his wife was very low.

Lin Xiaoniang's attitude towards Qi Heng has always been that if he can achieve the best, it doesn't matter if he doesn't.

Seeing that Liu Waner had finished eating, Minglan finished the remaining food in the bowl and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Even with the Qi family's family background, she didn't need to care about the woman's family background, she still felt that Mo Lan's chances were not very good.

Mrs. Sheng is old and has a small appetite. She is usually the first to finish the meal.

Although she doesn't think her daughter is any worse than those wealthy daughters, family background is a flaw.

……

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's eat." Lin Xiaoniang came back to her senses and said.

Lin Xiaoniang was startled. She suddenly felt that what Mo Lan said made sense.

"Grandma, I'm done eating."

But these are not important. Anyway, if we get along day and night, it will happen.

"My mother has taught me since I was a child that everything must be the best. Which of these noble sons of Bianjing can compare with brother Yuanruo?" Mo Lan retorted.

Lin Xiaoniang thinks that the main reason for this is that Hua Lan married into Earl Zhongqin's mansion.

Those with low family status may need to improve their status by being named on the gold list, and are not in a hurry to propose marriage.

"Yes, no one of these noble sons of Bianjing can compare with the young master. I don't know how many people want to marry the Qi family. Didn't Princess Pingning not agree to it?" Lin Xiaoniang said.

But with the Qi family's family background, being named on the gold list is just the icing on the cake.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Xiaoniang felt that it was okay to let Mo Lan work hard for it.

Since coming to Bianjing, although Sheng Hong still loved her, it was far worse than when he was in Yangzhou.

"It is precisely because of this that it shows that Princess Pingning does not care about family status, otherwise she would have arranged a marriage for brother Yuanruo long ago." Mo Lan said.

With Liu Waner as a guest, Minglan naturally couldn't finish eating early. She would usually slow down her meal and wait for Liu Waner to finish eating first.

Otherwise, the host would have finished eating and the guests would be embarrassed.

"Well, come with me to have a conversation, and then go back to the room for a lunch break." Mrs. Sheng said and stood up.

Minglan and Liu Waner quickly stood up and helped Old Mrs. Sheng to sit on the soft couch outside. Then they sat down at the bottom.

"Grandma, let Sister Wan'er chat with you. My granddaughter wants to give some snacks to my mother and brother," Minglan said.

"Take them all. I'm old and have bad teeth. There's no need to keep them for me." Old Mrs. Sheng said.

Although Yongyi Houfu’s ancestral home is in Jinling, Mrs. Sheng has lived in Bianjing with her parents since she was a child.

I don’t think much about the dim sum over there in Jiangnan.

She knew that Aunt Wei was from Jiangnan, so she asked Minglan to take her there. "Um."

Minglan didn't refuse, stood up, bowed, and retreated.

But when getting snacks, she still left some behind.

Let Xiaotao hold the snacks and leave the Shou'an Hall, heading towards the yard where Aunt Wei lives.

Arriving outside the courtyard gate, the door opened as soon as it was pushed.

In the yard, a three- or four-year-old child was chasing a ball. He stopped when he heard the door opening. When he saw Minglan coming in, he ran over in surprise.

"elder sister!"

"Changjin, please slow down."

Minglan saw her brother staggering and was afraid that he would fall, so she quickly ran towards him.

This little boy is Minglan's younger brother, named Sheng Changjin.

Counting it all together, it will be four years old in two or three months.

Minglan picked up Sheng Changjin, looked at his smiling face, tapped his forehead, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't run so fast, what if you fall?"

"No, I haven't wrestled for a long time." Sheng Changjin said while hugging her sister's neck.

Minglan also wanted to teach her younger brother a lesson, but Aunt Wei and Xiaodie came out after hearing the commotion.

"Ming'er, why are you here?" Aunt Wei asked in surprise.

Although they are all in the Sheng family, Minglan usually has to study, not only do homework, but also practice as a female worker. In addition, she also has to learn housekeeping and accounting from Mrs. Sheng.

Later generations often say that women can hold up half the sky. In fact, women in ancient times also held up half the sky.

As the saying goes, men are the masters outside and women are the masters inside.

Men are only responsible for working and making money, while women take care of the house. In addition to reasonably arranging expenses according to income, they also need to think about increasing income.

For example, buy some shops, land or something.

The income of these industries needs to be calculated and verified.

Of course, the premise is that you have to become the head wife to be qualified to manage these.

Managing the house and accounting can be said to be an essential skill for a real wife.

Minglan would only visit her mother every three to five days on weekdays, and it was usually after school in the afternoon or when she was taking a bath.

I rarely come here at noon, that's why Aunt Wei asked.

"Brother Ziqian returned to Yangzhou to take the exam and gave his daughter some snacks from Yangzhou. My daughter brought some for my little girl to try," Minglan said with a smile.

"Just leave it to the old lady to eat. Why did you bring it to me? Put Brother Jin down quickly. He is very heavy now. Don't tire yourself out." Aunt Wei said.

"It's okay. If I don't hug her now, I won't be able to hug her if she gets older."

Even so, Minglan still put her brother down.

Sheng Changjin is almost four years old. Although he is not fat, he still weighs several dozen pounds. Minglan is only twelve years old. She is really tired after running for a while.

Aunt Wei asked Sheng Changjin to play in the courtyard and not go out, and asked Minglan to come into the house to talk.

Minglan took the snack from Xiao Tao and let Xiao Tao watch from outside.

"Mom, didn't the lady arrange a new maid for you?" Minglan asked.

Aunt Wei only had two maids, Xiaodie and Hongshao. She had hired a wet nurse when Sheng Changjin was born.

However, the nanny was from Yangzhou and couldn't let go of her family. When she came here before, the Sheng family gave her a lot of money, so she returned to Yangzhou two years ago.

Half a year ago, Hongshao was returned to her hometown by Aunt Wei and got married.

Now there is only Xiaodie as a maid.
