Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 371 Minglan’s reluctance

After Sheng Hong left, Mrs. Sheng asked Fang's mother to call Minglan over.

After a while, Minglan came to the main hall and saluted: "Grandma, please look for me."

"Come and sit down." Mrs. Sheng called Minglan to sit next to her, and then told her about the housekeeper.

After hearing this, Minglan shook her head repeatedly and said, "Grandma, how can my granddaughter take care of this?"

"All the lessons I've taught you over the years have been in vain?"

When Mrs. Sheng heard Minglan's refusal, she felt a little resentful.

At first, she asked Minglan to be the housekeeper because Sheng Hong asked Wei Xiaoniang to take charge.

She knew that with Lin Xiaoniang's temperament, letting Wei Xiaoniang take care of the house would definitely arouse Lin Xiaoniang's jealousy.

But as Sheng Hong said, someone must take care of the affairs of the inner house.

Even if she were here, she wouldn't be able to help Minglan much after she got married.

Although she can protect Minglan, she is old after all, so she might leave one day.

The other mother is a beloved concubine, and her father likes her, and she also has an elder brother from the same mother.

Except for Sheng Changbai, none of the brothers and sisters in the family would be convinced.

Her original intention was to let Madam Wang calmly reflect. If she took over the power of the family, Madam Wang would just indulge in random thoughts, and there would be no way for her to reflect.

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Can't you take care of the house and make me look good?" Old Mrs. Sheng said.

But she still asked Minglan to take charge.

Minglan had nothing, and Wei Xiaoniang was not bad at all, but she was indifferent by nature and did not want to compete for favors. Her younger brother, who was from the same mother, was too young to help her.

The Li family has a simple staff. If Minglan can handle this situation in the Sheng family, she will be relieved after getting married.

Old Mrs. Sheng wanted to see how Minglan responded and calculated when faced with specific people and events.

Mrs. Sheng is not afraid of Mrs. Wang's overthinking, but Mrs. Wang is easily confused.

Because this is a good exercise for Minglan.

Mrs. Sheng knew that being the head of the Minglan family would inevitably face difficulties from Mrs. Wang and Xiaoniang Lin.

But the theory is just a theory, and she doesn't know how it will be used in practice.

Mrs. Wang already had a problem with Mrs. Lin because of what happened back then. If she took Mrs. Wang's housekeeping rights and took over on her own, Mrs. Wang would definitely think too much.

Therefore, Minglan can only rely on herself. Mrs. Sheng has been teaching Minglan the principles of planning and life.

Ming Lan is not like Lan and Mo Lan. One of them is a direct descendant and has an older brother and sister from the same mother to take care of her. She also has a generous dowry and a grandfather who is worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple. These are all she relies on.

And she didn't want to cause trouble by taking over the house.

Minglan saw that her grandmother was angry, so she stood up and lowered her head and said, "Grandma, don't be angry. My granddaughter is just afraid that if she doesn't take care of her well, she will lose her grandmother's face."

It can be said that Mrs. Sheng worked really hard for Minglan.

With a flash of inspiration, he offered to let Minglan take over.

"I…"

Minglan hesitated for a while and said, "Grandma, my granddaughter is willing to give it a try."

"As long as you are willing to try, Mama Fang, please bring someone to help her pack her things and let her move out later." Seeing Minglan's agreement, Mrs. Sheng's face softened and she ordered Mama Fang.

"Ah?" Minglan was stunned: "Why do you still want to move out?"

"You are already old now. You should have your own yard long ago. Rulan Molan has lived alone for a long time. Do you still want to stay with me?" Mrs. Sheng said angrily.

"Grandma~"

Minglan pulled her grandmother's sleeve, shook it, and said coquettishly: "You asked your granddaughter to take care of the house, and she accepted it, but can you not let her move out?"

"No, this matter is settled. I've already asked people to clean up the small yard next to Shou'an Hall. You will move there tomorrow." Mrs. Sheng said without any doubt. If Minglan stayed with her, he would make a habit of asking her if anything happened.

Mrs. Sheng made up her mind to let Minglan break away from her wings and face the wind and rain outside by herself.

"Yes." Seeing her grandmother say this, Minglan could only respond dully.

"Okay, go back and pack your things."

When Mrs. Sheng saw Minglan's expression, she couldn't bear it. She turned her head and waved her hand.

"Granddaughter, please leave." Minglan stood up, bowed, and left.

"There are few people in her room. You can bring someone to help clean it up." Mrs. Sheng waved her hand.

"Since the old lady is reluctant to let go, why do you have to be so hard-hearted? Then I think the Li family brother and the old lady are good. Otherwise, old lady, you wouldn't agree. Why is this so?" Fang's mother couldn't bear to see the sad look on the old lady Sheng's face.

She and Mrs. Sheng are called master and servant, which is actually the same as sisters.

In fact, she was no longer a slave. When she first got married, Mrs. Sheng returned the deed to her.

She had grown up children, married a wife and had children, and had no worries. She just felt grateful for Mrs. Sheng's kindness, so she returned to serve Mrs. Sheng.

So I don't have so many scruples when talking in front of the old lady.

She could naturally see what Mrs. Sheng was thinking.

According to Fang’s mother, there is absolutely no need to do this.

"Even if the Li family brother is good, his parents and sister-in-law are also good. But if the Li family brother passes the Jinshi examination, he will go out to be an official sooner or later. At that time, doesn't she have to take care of the housework and deal with the official family members? You go there "Don't tell her this." Mrs. Sheng said.

"Yes."

Fang's mother sighed inwardly, bowed and left.

……

When Fang's mother came to Minglan's room with a group of maids, several maids in Minglan's room were busy, while Minglan was sitting in front of the table, her chin clenched in a daze.

"Girl, Fang's mother is here." Cui Wei said.

Minglan came back to her senses, turned her head and looked at Fang's mother with a forced smile, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Fang's mother."

"Girl, you are serious."

Fang's mother told the maids to follow Cuiwei's arrangements and came behind Minglan.

"The old lady's feelings for the girl are as strong as ever. She did this because of her painstaking efforts. Don't think too much about it," said Fang's mother.

Hearing this, Minglan turned to look at Fang's mother and said: "Fang's mother, I don't blame grandma. In fact, I understand what grandma means. She asked me to be the housekeeper because she wanted to train me and let me move out. She was also afraid that I would be too much. Depend on her."

"The girl is very smart, but the old lady is worried too much and talks too much."

Seeing that Minglan understood Mrs. Sheng's good intentions, Fang's mother was a little confused and said, "Since the girl knows this, why are you still depressed?"

"I didn't feel much about the marriage before. This time my grandmother asked me to move out, and I suddenly realized that I couldn't stay in the Sheng family for much longer. I felt very uncomfortable when I thought about not being able to serve my grandmother in the future." Ming Ming Lan said.

She has always known how kind Mrs. Sheng was to her.

Old Mrs. Sheng used to be a vegetarian until she moved here. Old Mrs. Sheng saw that she was thin and every meal was very rich, so Old Mrs. Sheng also broke the habit.

Because of this matter, Mrs. Wang and Xiaoniang Lin were a little dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything.

However, Ru Lan and Mo Lan had heard their mother talk about how Ming Lan had been troubled by this incident.

Minglan was still young at that time and didn't understand it very well. Later she realized that Mrs. Sheng broke the precept because she wanted to live a few more years and protect her.

Fang's mother was silent when she heard this. Men should get married when they are young, and women should get married when they are young. After a woman gets married, she should put her husband's family first. No matter how close they are, there is no reason to run to her parents' house every two days.

This is an unsolvable question.
