Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 406: Gu Tingye protects his wife at the polo field
"Thank you for your kindness, Fifth Miss, but you are the eldest daughter of the family, and I am just a poor scholar with no fame. The teacher will not agree." Wen Yanjing said bitterly.

Why would he go if he knew that his proposal would be rejected?

What's more, although Sheng Hong was disappointed in him for failing the exam this time, he still asked him to come to Beijing a year earlier for the next exam, and Sheng Hong would teach him well.

If he were to come and propose marriage without being tactful at this time, it would leave a bad impression on Sheng Hong.

"How do you know that dad won't agree if you haven't been there? Brother Jing, I've thought about it. You go to our house to propose, and I'll make a little fuss. My mother dotes on me and will definitely agree." Rulan said excitedly.

Wen Yanjing's eyes lit up when he heard this, but soon dimmed.

He felt that no matter how much Rulan's parents doted on her, they would never agree to such a thing.

However, Wen Yanjing also knew Rulan's personality. If he rejected her directly, she would not know what to do. Therefore, he said perfunctorily: "Then I will find a good day and go to your house to propose marriage."

"Ah."

Rulan didn't think much about it, but nodded happily and whispered her melancholy to Wen Yanjing.

Although Minglan and Li An didn't know what the two were talking about, they both looked unhappy at first, but soon they started talking and laughing again, and the two saw it all.

"Brother Ziqian, why do I feel like I'm doing something wrong?" Minglan said.

Although I don’t know what the two of them talked about, seeing Rulan smiling happily, it was obvious that Wen Yanjing said something that made her happy.

But Li An had said before that Wen Yanjing had already planned to leave Bian Jing.

She suddenly realized that her help to Rulan this time seemed to have made her fall deeper and deeper.

Li An saw Minglan's worried face and said softly, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Regardless of whether Wen Yanjing promised Fifth Miss anything or not, it would be great if he did it. If he didn't, Fifth Miss would give up completely."

"But with Fifth Sister's temper, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it and might do something stupid," Minglan said worriedly.

"Don't underestimate the Fifth Miss. Although she looks careless, she has her own wisdom." Li An said.

Rulan appears to be careless on the surface, doing things without considering other people's feelings, as if she has no brains.

In the original drama, Gu Tingye came to propose marriage, and Rulan was upset, but in the end she accepted her fate.

It shows that she still has some sense.

When Minglan heard this, the words that Rulan had said to her last time came to her mind.

"I know that from childhood to adulthood, I am not as sensible as my elder sister, not as good at flattering as Molan, and not as likable as you. Not to mention my father, even my mother doesn't think highly of me."

All these words show that Rulan is not as careless as she appears to be. Just as Ang Lee said, she has her own unique wisdom.

Minglan wanted to say something when she heard a quarrel in the distance. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw an acquaintance. She said anxiously, "Fifth sister, you play over here. I have something to do and I need to go over there."

"What's wrong?" Li An asked doubtfully.

"I saw Sister Yanran. I don't know what happened. I'll go over to take a look." After Minglan said this, she lifted her skirt slightly and trotted over.

Li An was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly chased after him.

In a corner of the polo field, Yu Yanhong curled her lips and said, "You are about to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, and you want to snatch a hairpin from me?"

"Third sister, I'm not trying to snatch it from you. That hairpin is a relic of my late mother. I'd like to ask you to give it to me after you win it. I can pay you." Yu Yanran pleaded.

"It's not a big deal to be rich. Originally, I just liked the hairpin and felt itchy, so I wanted to have a fight. Now that you said that, I'm even more determined to win. I'd rather throw it away or melt it than give it to you!" Yu Yanhong sneered.

Old Master Yu knew that his son was of average ability, and he was very displeased with his son's second daughter-in-law, so he did not pave the way for his son.

Now he has retired and his son is only a sixth-rank official.

There were few stupid people among the wealthy families in Bian Jing. When Old Master Yu was in office, his sons did not hold high positions. After he retired, he had no support and no future at all.

This led to Yu Yanhong also reaching the age of marriage, but the real noble families did not look down on Yu Yanhong. Yu Yanhong did not like her sister in the first place, and now her sister was going to marry into the Marquis's house, which made her very jealous.

When Yu Yanhong heard that she wanted this hairpin, it was naturally impossible for her to give it to her.

"Third sister, I beg you." Yu Yanran pulled Yu Yanhong's arm and begged.

She knew that her brother and sister were very good at polo, and that those who came to the polo club were of a certain status. Even if someone took a fancy to them, no one would compete with Yu Yanhong for such a small prize.

Yu Yanhong went off the field, and her opponent was also a companion arranged by the polo field.

Unless she can personally go and fight with Yu Yanhong.

But she could only play barely, so she could never compete with Yu Yanhong.

For her mother's relics, she could only beg Yu Yanhong to give them to her after she won.

"Get off!"

Yu Yanhong directly shook off Yu Yanran's hand and said coldly: "Don't delay me from playing polo!"

"younger sister!"

Yu Yanran was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground by Yu Yanhong. Seeing that Yu Yanhong was about to leave, she cried and shouted, "I beg you, I can give you all my... "

"Sister Yanran!"

Minglan ran over and saw this scene. She quickly ran over to help Yu Yanran up, glared at Yu Yanhong and said, "Sister Yanran is your sister, how could you treat her like this!"

"I was wondering who it was. Turns out to be the illegitimate daughter of the Sheng family! As an outsider, you shouldn't interfere in my family affairs!" Yu Yanhong curled her lips.

"You..." Minglan became angry when she heard that.

"Sixth Miss, you should first find out what's going on."

Li An glanced at Yu Yanhong coldly and turned his head.

Minglan asked Yu Yanran about the reason. After learning what happened, she said coldly, "It's just polo. I'll go with you to win the hairpin back. You don't have to beg her!"

"Haha, then I'll wait for you!" Yu Yanhong said disdainfully.

There were not many women in Bianjing who could play polo. She often played polo and knew all the good ones, but she had never heard that Sheng Minglan could play polo.

"No need, I'll do it!"

Just then, an angry voice came.

Li An saw the person coming and smiled, "You don't need to do anything."

Seeing the person coming, Yu Erlang, who had been silent, suddenly changed his expression and walked up to him with a smile, saying, "Second Brother Gu, we are no match for you. We won't fight anymore."

"Our two families are almost becoming relatives. Logically, we should be polite when we meet. But you bullied my, Gu Tingye's fiancée today, which is a slap in my face. You have to play the polo game today whether you want to or not!" Gu Tingye said lightly.

Gu Tingye was very angry. Ever since he and Yu Yanran got engaged, he had asked people to inquire about Yu Yanran's situation.

He found that their situations had many similarities, the only difference was that she had been targeted by her stepmother since she was a child.

His stepmother praised him too much.

Especially when he walked over and heard Yu Yanran say that the hairpin was a relic of her deceased mother, he couldn't help but think of the time when Man Niang and her brother discussed selling his mother's relics.

If his mother's belongings were sold, he would probably want to kill someone.
