Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 380 The cheating Ru Lan

No matter what, the children in the family will still have to take the exam again in the future.

If you know where you went wrong, you can avoid it in the future.

Those children from poor families have no personal connections and don’t even know where they went wrong.

Qi Guogong and his wife went directly to Han Da Xianggong and learned from Han Da Xianggong that Qi Heng's article was not bad, but it was too gorgeous and lost its steel.

If you put in a lot of effort, you still have a chance to pass the exam.

In the Gu family, Gu Yankai learned that Gu Tingye failed the exam and scolded Gu Tingye.

In fact, he didn't have much hope that Gu Tingye would pass the exam. What made him angry was that Gu Tingye looked devastated after failing.

Xiao Qin persuaded her for a long time and proposed to ask the examiner.

Gu Yankai said he didn't want to embarrass himself, but in fact he was still very concerned about it.

"It's just a matter of protecting your knees." Ru Lan said.

……

Gu Tingye was already upset when he failed the exam, and being scolded by his father made him feel even more unhappy. In the evening, he made an appointment with Li An and Sheng Chang to have a drink at Baifanlou.

"Fifth sister, why are you looking at me like this?" Minglan was a little embarrassed by Rulan's look.

"I overheard it when I was passing by the garden that day."

In the Sheng family, Mu Cangzhai, and Minglan's boudoir, all the maids were sent away at this time, except for Rulan and Minglan.

Minglan said solemnly: "Fifth sister, you know that dad intends to marry fourth sister to Wen Yanjing."

After being persuaded by Xiao Qin for a while, he impatiently agreed to ask tomorrow.

Rulan's expression darkened and she said, "I know."

Minglan could naturally see that Ru Lan didn't like Qi Heng at all, and was just trying to fight Mo Lan.

Minglan was stunned and asked in surprise: "But why? Didn't you say that Wen Yanjing's family was poor and his mother was mean?"

But in the past, Ru Lan and Mo Lan's competition was just a matter of getting together and talking.

"Tell me, how did you know?" Rulan asked.

"Sixth sister, I am not fighting with Mo Lan this time." Ru Lan shook her head.

But this time it was different, they were both old enough, and the two of them had secret contact, which was no different from a private meeting.

In her opinion, the same is true for Wen Yanjing.

Ru Lan also knew the news, and she had laughed at Wen Yanjing and Mo Lan at the beginning.

"You know this but you still do this? Fifth sister, I know you and fourth sister don't get along, but it's not worth risking your own reputation just for the sake of fighting." Minglan advised.

Although this matter has not been announced, it is not a secret in the Sheng family. She heard her grandmother tell it.

Li An and Sheng Changbai also knew that Gu Tingye was feeling uncomfortable, so naturally they would not refuse and agreed.

"What do you know? Why can't I understand what the fifth sister is saying?" Minglan said blankly.

It's not that she looked down on Wen Yanjing, these words were said to her by Ru Lan.

She really couldn't understand why Ru Lan suddenly fell in love with Wen Yanjing.

After hearing Minglan's words, Rulan immediately retorted unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't know how nice Brother Jing is!"

Minglan patted her forehead, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Fifth sister, have you ever thought about it, maybe he just wants to climb higher." Before Minglan could finish her words, Rulan stood up suddenly, her eyes wide open and glaring. Zhu Minglan said: "I know what you mean. You just want to say that I have no talent or appearance, but I have a powerful family background. Brother Jing is attracted by my family background, not because he likes me."

Minglan opened her mouth, not because she was a villain, but because she was speculating maliciously, after all, Wen Yanjing was chosen by Sheng Hong for Mo Lan.

Even though Sheng Hong didn't tell him, Wen Yanjing was a scholar and should know etiquette.

But he had contacted Ru Lan privately. Didn't he know what the consequences would be if word got out?
That's why Minglan suspected that Wen Yanjing was interested in the Sheng family's help. After all, there was a big difference between a legitimate daughter and a concubine.

Ru Lan pinched the corner of her clothes, lowered her head and said, "I know that since I was little, I have not been as sensible as my eldest sister, not as good as Mo Lan in fawning over, nor as good as you in being lovable, let alone dad. Even my mother doesn’t think much of me, but there is one person who likes me and likes me. He said that he doesn’t like delicate and weak girls. He likes strong and lively ones who can run like me. It dances and smiles like the summer sun, making people feel comfortable.”

Minglan looked at Rulan in surprise, as if she was meeting this sister for the first time.

In her mind, Rulan was the kind of person who was spoiled and had no scheming.

This is why even though Ru Lan bullied her before, she was not angry and still got along well with Ru Lan.

"But have you ever thought about it, even if he passes the exam this time, it is impossible for dad and eldest lady to agree." Minglan reminded.

It was unclear whether Sheng Hong would agree to her, but Minglan knew clearly that Mrs. Wang would never agree.

Mrs. Wang attaches great importance to family status. She doesn't even look down on the eldest son, let alone a poor scholar like Wen Yanjing.

Not to mention that Wen Yanjing failed this time, even if he was a second-ranked Jinshi, Mrs. Wang would not be able to agree.

The most important thing is that Wen Yanjing was originally chosen by Sheng Hong for Mo Lan. Madam Wang would be very happy when she found out.

As a result, Wen Yanjing wanted to become her son-in-law. Mrs. Wang found out about it. She was afraid that she would be as disgusted as eating a fly, so how could she agree to it?

"If I'm not allowed to marry Brother Jing, I'll kill myself, or I'll cut my hair and become a sister-in-law!" Rulan said.

Hearing this, Minglan patted her forehead and said, "Fifth sister, please stop saying such angry words. If you are so brave, can father and eldest lady let Wen Yanjing go?"

Wen Yanjing was no match for a civil servant, so it would be very easy for the Sheng family to deal with him.

Moreover, if Ru Lan really made such a fuss, it would spread to the Sheng family that it would be embarrassing, and Wen Yanjing's reputation would also be ruined.

Ru Lan burst into tears when she heard this.

"Fifth sister, don't cry." Minglan said anxiously.

"Sixth sister, I know you are smarter than me, can you help me think of a solution? I bullied you before, and I apologize to you." Rulan wiped her tears and looked at Minglan pleadingly.

She didn't know what to do now, and she didn't even dare to tell anyone.

Now that Minglan knew it, she couldn't care so much and could only ask Minglan for help to find a solution.

"What can I do about this!" Minglan said speechlessly.

She also wanted to help Ru Lan, but what could she do about this kind of thing?
If it was just Sheng Hong's problem, she could still think of a solution.

But the biggest obstacle is Mrs. Wang.

With Mrs. Wang's temperament and personality, it is easy to find solutions to some things, but she has no solution at all for this kind of thing.

"I do not care."

Ru Lan scoundrel said: "I am my sister. If I don't become a monk, you can't get married. If you don't help me, I won't get married. You can't marry your brother Ziqian either."

Minglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "Fifth sister, I really can't help it."

"I won't listen!"

Rulan covered her ears and kept shaking her head.
