Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 97 Visiting to express thanks
  "Mom, I can take care of myself." Minglan said quickly.

Aunt Wei touched Minglan's head and said softly: "Be obedient tomorrow, you don't want my mother to worry about you, right? Besides, your grandmother is old, and you are serving her there as a filial piety. You can come back to see your mother at ordinary times." .”

She didn't know what methods Lin Xiaoniang would use next. If Minglan could be raised by the old lady's side, she would undoubtedly be very safe.

If possible, she would even want to send her son there.

"Oh." Even though Minglan was a little reluctant, in order not to make her mother angry, she still nodded in agreement.

"It's really weird tomorrow. After you go, remember to listen to your grandmother, you know." Aunt Wei warned.

"Well, don't worry, mother, I've written it down." Minglan nodded.

……

Early the next morning, Mo Lan and Ming Lan first came to Wei Ruixuan to pay their respects to Mrs. Wang, and then, under the leadership of Mrs. Wang, they went to Shou'an Hall to pay their respects to Mrs. Sheng.

"Grandma, my granddaughter is willing to stay with her and serve her."

After seeing the ceremony, Sanlan wanted to say that she would stay and serve Mrs. Sheng.

In the end, Mo Lan took a step forward and spoke first.

Although Ru Lan agreed, she was still a little reluctant. When she saw Mo Lan speaking, she hurriedly said, "Grandma, my granddaughter is also willing."

Seeing that Ru Lan was trying to snatch her away, Mo Lan felt a little unhappy and said, "Fifth sister, the eldest sister is married. I am the eldest among the girls in the family. As the older sister, I should serve my grandmother."

Ru Lan was unhappy when she heard this and said, "I am still the legitimate daughter, so I should serve her."

"Cough cough cough~"

When Mrs. Wang heard Ru Lan talking about her concubines again, she coughed a few times to interrupt her words. She smiled at the old lady and said, "Mom, when I went home last night, Ru Lan said that she was afraid that her mother would be lonely, so she wanted to come and take care of her. , and couldn't bear to leave me, so she didn't say anything at that time. The daughter-in-law thought that it was good for Ru Lan to be so filial. In addition, the daughter-in-law also had to take care of the housework and had no time to discipline her, so why not let her mother serve her by her side, and she could accompany her when she had nothing to do? Just talk to relieve your boredom."

Mrs. Sheng glanced at Mrs. Wang and said nothing.

Mo Lan and Ru Lan were obviously reluctant yesterday, but today they suddenly said they were willing to stay with her. It was obvious that someone taught them after they returned yesterday.

Although she longs for family affection, her strong will is not sweet. The two of them are unwilling to be together, and she doesn't want to stay.

Mrs. Sheng withdrew her gaze, glanced at Mo Lan and Ru Lan, and finally stopped at Ming Lan and said, "Girl Ming, both of your sisters want to stay with me to serve, why don't you speak up?"

"Back to grandma, my granddaughter is also willing to stay by your side to serve you, but the two sisters have spoken. My mother told me the story of Kong Rong giving the pear to me before, so my granddaughter doesn't want to fight with the two sisters. No matter which one of us stays Serving grandma represents the filial piety of father and our grandchildren, which is the same," Minglan said.

When the old lady heard this, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes. Just when Mo Lan opened her mouth, she realized that Ming Lan also wanted to speak, but Mo Lan got there first, so she didn't speak.

If Minglan wants to stay, someone must have taught her. But what she just said didn't seem like someone had taught her.

Minglan was able to say those words, which shows that she was taught well by Aunt Wei.

Mrs. Sheng was silent for a while and said, "Just let girl Ming stay with me."

Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard this and said: "Mother, Minglan is the youngest, why don't you let Ru'er serve you again?"

"As I said yesterday, children are the parents' favorites. I didn't want to do anything that would cause separation of flesh and blood. But after all, it's your filial piety. If you think about it carefully, let's keep one. Tell it to Hong'er. A name of filial piety."

"Hua Lan is married, and Changbai is living in a separate courtyard. If I ask for Ru Yatou again, people will say that I am a mean mother-in-law. The same is true for Aunt Lin, but Aunt Wei has just given birth. Not only has she suffered a lot, but she is also busy taking care of the children. Ming Yatou can make her feel more relaxed by staying here. When Brother Yang is older, I will let Ming Yatou go back." Old Mrs. Sheng said.

She knew that Lin Xiaoniang and Mrs. Wang were both concerned about her now. If she didn't leave them alone, there would be a lot of fuss over this matter.

Sheng Hong is going to Bianjing soon, and she also wants you to be quieter in the back house.

Moreover, Lin Xiaoniang is becoming more and more bold now. Keeping Minglan behind can also make Lin Xiaoniang restrain herself and not dare to attack Aunt Wei easily.

When Madam Wang saw the old lady saying this, she couldn't say anything else.

She thought about it carefully, and she was really reluctant to let Ru Lan stay here. It was better for the old lady to keep Ming Lan than to keep Mo Lan.

After breakfast, the old lady asked Fang's mother to arrange for someone to move things with Minglan. "Grandma, my father asked me to go and thank my brother Li a few days ago. I was originally planning to go there on the last day of the Yangzhou Academy's holiday. When people inquired, I found that brother Li had taken leave the day before and returned to his hometown. Today. It's another day for the Yangzhou Academy to have a holiday, and my granddaughter wants to go and say thank you first, and then move in when she comes back," Minglan said.

"It's a good thing to repay kindness. It was indeed thanks to the Li brothers that day. Mother Fang, please prepare one more thank you gift, which I will give to you, and then you accompany Ming Ming." Old Mrs. Sheng ordered. road.

"Yes." Fang's mother responded.

"Thank you, grandma." Minglan said gratefully.

On the other side, Mo Lan left Shou'antang and returned to Linqige angrily.

"what happened?"

Lin Xiaoniang asked: "Did the old lady leave Ru Lan behind?"

"No, grandma left Minglan behind. I can't say no. If you insist on letting me go, everyone will be embarrassed." Mo Lan cried out in grievance.

"what?"

Lin Xiaoniang's face turned ugly when she heard this. When she heard Mo Lan crying, she shouted: "Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry. I asked you to speak up earlier. Who do you blame if you don't tell me?"

"I was the first to say it, but grandma just kept her. What can I do? I told you that grandma doesn't want to see you, and she doesn't want to see me either. You insist on letting me go." Mo Lan finished yelling. , ran out crying.

"you…"

Lin Xiaoniang's chest heaved violently with anger, and she almost fainted without taking a breath.

"Don't be angry, little girl. The sixth girl is being raised by the old lady. It will be difficult to deal with Aunt Wei." Xue Niang said.

Lin Xiaoniang took a deep breath and said coldly: "Humph, she wants to fight me, but she's still far from it."

……

Mrs. Liu was cleaning the shop when she saw a carriage stopping at the door of the shop. She put down the broom and walked out in confusion.

I saw several servants following the carriage on both sides, carrying many things in their hands.

An old woman opened the curtain and got out of the car, and then helped a seven or eight-year-old girl out of the car.

Mrs. Liu always felt familiar when looking at this little girl, but she couldn't remember who it was.

Minglan got off the carriage, saw Ms. Liu, and bowed: "I've met my aunt."

When Mrs. Liu saw Minglan salute her, she returned the salute wildly and said, "Miss, my shop hasn't opened yet."

"Auntie misunderstood. I'm here to see Brother Ziqian. He helped me before and came here to express my gratitude." Minglan said.

"Oh, I'll call him out right away." Mrs. Liu said and ran in quickly.

"Aniu, Aniu, come out quickly!"

Li Anzhen was reading in the yard. When he heard his mother's call, he put down the book and walked out.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"There is a little girl outside looking for you." Ms. Liu said.

"Little girl?"

Li An was stunned, walked into the store, saw Minglan, and said in surprise: "Miss Six, why are you here?"
