Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 216 Cui Wei
A girl who has not left the court goes to take care of a man.

Once word spreads, Minglan will not be able to marry anyone else except Li An in her life.

And there will be a lot of gossip.

This was the reason why she didn't let Minglan visit Li An before.

And care is more serious than visitation.

After all, Li An saved Sheng Changjin and asked Sheng Changbai to accompany him to thank him, which was acceptable.

"Grandma, granddaughter understands." Minglan said.

"You understand yet..."

Mrs. Sheng stopped here, looked at Minglan in surprise, and said, "Have you already been interested in Brother Li?"

There are many ways to repay a favor, and there is no need to involve yourself in it.

But she still nodded, because she knew that if she didn't admit it, Mrs. Sheng wouldn't let her go.

"My granddaughter doesn't know either." Minglan lowered her head and whispered.

The reason she didn't say it was that time was because she wasn't sure whether Li An's figure had been deeply imprinted in her heart that night.

With Minglan's intelligence, it is impossible not to think of this, but still do it. This is the only possibility.

The darkness of the alley was like Minglan's heart.

Facing Mrs. Sheng's inquiry, a blush appeared on Minglan's face, and she felt very shy.

That night, the bright moon was hidden behind the clouds, and there were only a few stars hanging in the sky. The alley seemed very dark and quiet.

In fact, she has recently begun to think about Minglan's future.

When her mother had a difficult childbirth, Xiaodie asked her to go out through the dog hole to find a doctor.

Mrs. Sheng frowned slightly, her expression changing.

Exiting from the dog hole is an alley. It was night and the moon was in the sky.

However, Minglan felt very at ease when chatting with Li An.

Mrs. Sheng frowned and said, "When did it happen?"

It's just that she was only eight years old at that time and didn't know what feelings were. She only knew more about gratitude.

Mrs. Sheng knew that Qi Heng was interested in Minglan and had been worried that Minglan would be attracted to Qi Heng, but she did not expect that Minglan would be attracted to Li An so early.

And Li An was a ray of light in the darkness, saving her mother and brother and allowing her to walk out of the darkness.

The two of them didn't talk about any profound issues like life ideals, they just chatted casually.

Minglan felt that the time when she really liked Li An was when she and Mrs. Sheng returned to Youyang's hometown last time. On the way, they were blowing air on the plywood at night, and every time they met Li An and chatted with him.

However, since then, when she dreams at night, she often dreams about what happened that night. She has no fear, only a sense of peace.

She loved this feeling.

Although Minglan is only over twelve years old, and the girl is fifteen years old and has hairpins, she seems to be more than two years old. But it takes time to select people and inquire about their character.

Mrs. Sheng didn't want Minglan to marry into a family that was too high.

No matter how good the character is, it is not a good thing for someone with a high family background.

The higher the family status, the larger the population, and the more rules. When a new daughter-in-law enters the house and faces difficulties from her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, she has to deal with them by herself.

Just like Hua Lan, marrying into the Earl's Palace seems to be noble.

But how many grievances have you suffered over the years?
Mrs. Wang is screaming fiercely. Does she dare to go to the Yuan family to cause trouble?

It's not that Mrs. Wang doesn't feel sorry for her daughter, it's just that she doesn't dare.

As the saying goes, it takes many years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law.

The word "endure" shows that many wives come here like this.

If Mrs. Wang is going to cause trouble, others will not think that the Yuan family is wrong, but they will think that the Sheng family girl is too pretentious. In doing so, not only will the reputation of the Sheng family girl be damaged, Hualan's life in the Yuan family will become even more difficult.

What's more, she was wronged by Minglan. She can help Minglan stand up, but what if she is gone?

Old Mrs. Sheng hopes that Minglan can marry into a family with a lower family background, good character, a well-off family and a simple population.

If you have good character, you will be kind to Minglan. The family is well off and will not suffer hardships.

The population is simple, so there is less trouble.

Li An is consistent in all aspects, but his background is a bit different.

However, Li An is very knowledgeable and is still very likely to be named on the gold list in the future.

In this way, the problem of family origin is eliminated.

Mrs. Sheng's brows slowly widened, she pondered for a long time, and then said, "Even so, it won't work."

She thought about it carefully and found that Li An was indeed suitable and Minglan also liked it, so it was not impossible.

But Minglan is still young, and she also wants to examine Li An carefully.

If Minglan really takes care of Li An, there will be no room for regret.

Mrs. Sheng has a tough temper and never considers her options, but she doesn't want Minglan to be like her.

"grandmother…"

"Stop talking. If you still recognize me as your grandmother, just listen to me."

Minglan wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Sheng interrupted her directly and looked at her seriously.

"Grandma, can I let Danju stay there and take care of me? The servants in brother Ziqian's family are all bought at will. Usually he doesn't let anyone serve him personally. That maid is not very good at serving others." Minglan said.

Mrs. Sheng wanted to refuse, but looking at Minglan's pleading eyes, she finally relented.

He sighed and said, "I really owed you something in my previous life."

When Minglan heard what the old lady said, she knew she had agreed. She smiled and stepped forward to hold the old lady's arm, shaking her and saying, "I knew my grandmother loved me the most."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Old Mrs. Sheng said angrily: "You will shake my old bones to pieces."

"Then let me squeeze it for grandma."

Minglan let go of her hand and came behind the old lady. She squeezed her shoulders.

"You only have two personal maids by your side. If Dan Ju is left to serve you, there will only be one Xiao Tao left."

"It's okay, grandma, there is a second-class female envoy here." Minglan said nonchalantly.

"How many people do you have?"

Mrs. Sheng looked at Fang's mother aside and said, "Tell her how many people I had to serve before I got married."

"At that time, the old lady had eight personal servants, and more than twenty second-class servants and rough ladies," said Fang's mother.

Minglan said in surprise: "Isn't there more than thirty people? All of these people serve my grandmother?"

"Of course. In addition, there are dedicated coachmen and escorts for outings. There are still fifty people in total." Fang's mother said.

Minglan was speechless for a while, then came back to her senses and said: "I am different from my grandmother. My grandmother was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family at that time. I am just a concubine, and a few maids are enough."

"Officials have different grades, and there are rules for the servants who serve around wives, concubines, and children at home. In the past, I was still young, but now I have grown up. In the future, I will go to birthday banquets with the eldest lady more often. Going out means a grand occasion. The face of the family is not something you just say you can do."

Old Mrs. Sheng said to Fang's mother: "Go and call Cui Wei."

"Yes." Fang's mother responded and said to the maid standing beside her. The maid bowed and left, calling for others.

"Grandma, you have already given me a tangerine, how can I ask for the maid next to you." Minglan said quickly.

"This girl is just for you. I bought it when I came to Bianjing. I have been trained by Fang's mother. During the Chinese New Year, my family will have some maids for you. You probably won't be able to get a good one, so I'll give it to you." I have prepared one." Old Mrs. Sheng said.
