Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 251 Disguise
However, Sheng Hong and the old lady had a tacit understanding, and they would often automatically ignore Madam Wang's thoughts at this time.

After all, Madam Wang was a woman of strong emotions, and it was inevitable that she would sometimes act without thinking things through.

As for Sheng Hong and Old Madam Sheng, one was Wang Da Niangzi's husband and the other was her mother-in-law, so naturally they had to "make decisions" for her.

……

Ever since Princess Pingning visited the Sheng family that day, the atmosphere in the entire Sheng family has been somewhat different.

Of course, this is only because Shouan Hall and Linxi Pavilion are different. As for Madam Wang's Weirui Pavilion, it has long since returned to its former peace.

Firstly, it was because of Sheng Changbai's good news of getting into the second tier of high school that Madam Wang unintentionally overlooked this matter.

After all, in her heart, the fact that her family's Bai Chang got into high school while Qi Heng failed the exam was enough to make her proud for a long time!

Doesn't this prove that I am better than this famous princess?

Madam Wang was quite pleased with herself for this.

As for the second reason why Wei Rui Xuan didn't make a move, it was because Ru Lan was open-minded and didn't take the Duke of Qi's mansion seriously at all.

Speaking of the Sheng family's daughters, apart from Hua Lan who married the earliest and whose future seemed uncertain, Ru Lan was the one who had the most insightful view of her future.

Mo Lan was raised by her stepmother Lin Qinshuang to be competitive and vain. Although she had some talent, she did not value it at all, but regarded it as her own ability.

This is a skill that can be used to gain entry into wealthy and powerful families!

As for Minglan, it was because of her experiences from childhood that she became very cautious. She neither wanted to marry into those high-ranking noble families and get involved in their intrigues, nor did she want to marry into a commoner family and suffer the hardships of daily life.

In her heart, the best thing would be to marry into an ordinary, middle-class family, where she wouldn't have to worry about daily necessities or infighting.

Qi Heng was her first and last willful choice.

However, after Princess Pingning's words, Minglan was completely awake and no longer had any other thoughts.

Finally, I must mention Rulan.

She has the most open-minded attitude because she only wants to marry the person she loves.

Of course, it's not that she would marry into a poor family regardless of everything; after all, she wouldn't consider a family with too much financial burden.

The reason she is said to have the most insightful understanding is because she only values ​​the other person's character and does not concern herself with external conditions such as family background.

Even those prestigious and aristocratic families were, in Rulan's eyes, a negative factor.

Because Rulan couldn't live in such a family. After all, she wasn't like her older brother and sister, who were scheming and full of tricks.

Ru Lan is practically another "Wang Ruofu".

……

Because of Sheng Changbai, apart from the old lady and Sheng Changquan, no one else in the Sheng family noticed Minglan's unusual behavior. After all, if Weiruixuan was happy, Linxige would definitely be furious.

Therefore, neither of them noticed Minglan's unusual behavior.

As time went by, Minglan's mindset gradually improved.

Although she couldn't completely return to her former appearance, it wasn't difficult for her to compose herself and forcefully maintain her usual demeanor. Therefore, when Minglan reappeared in front of everyone, no one could detect anything amiss.

……

The sun was shining brightly that day, and the temperature was just right.

Because it is between the cold spring and the hot summer, the climate at this time is just right for all things to revive and for all flowers to bloom in competition.

Unbeknownst to them, the three sisters of the Sheng family also came to the Sheng family garden together.

However, Minglan was brought here by Rulan, while Molan, feeling melancholy, unconsciously came to her favorite flower field.

At this time, the three had not yet met.

"Minglan, what's wrong with you lately?" "You seem a little strange."

Rulan brought Minglan out today not because she genuinely cared about her, but because she needed Minglan's help.

"No, Fifth Sister, you must be mistaken!"

Minglan smiled slightly and calmly rejected Rulan's doubts.

"is it?"

Rulan glanced at Minglan, feeling that something was amiss, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Fine, if Xiao Liu says no, then no!"

Rulan, who hadn't figured it out, didn't dwell on it and simply put the question out of her mind.

"By the way, Minglan, the reason I dragged you out today is because I need your help with something!"

Rulan was indeed someone who couldn't hold back her temper. The two of them had only just come out of Shou'an Hall when Rulan couldn't wait to "request" Minglan's help.

However, although she said "please," Ru Lan's behavior made it sound more like an order!

"Minglan, the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' embroidered for the eldest daughter of the Yu family last time was excellent. I liked it very much. Could you take some time to embroider one for me as well?"

"From now on, I'll use it as my dowry!"

Rulan grabbed Minglan's hands without any politeness and shook them vigorously.

"Fifth Sister, this..."

"I do not care!"

Before Minglan could finish speaking, Rulan abruptly interrupted her, saying, "Minglan, I'm your own sister! You can't just embroider for the eldest daughter of the Yu family and not for me!"

"If you embroider a piece for me that's just like 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix,' then..."

"Then from now on... I'll grant you one request!"

"And, as long as I can do it!"

Rulan added a sentence afterward.

However, seemingly afraid that Minglan wouldn't believe her, she quickly raised her right hand and swore, "If... if I break my promise, may I never be able to marry a good husband, and may I be bullied by my wicked mother-in-law for the rest of my life!"

Rulan doesn't say anything malicious; all she ever says are these typical girlish "harsh words"!
"Hehe, Minglan, my dear sister, will you say yes?"

Seeing that Minglan still seemed unwilling, Rulan immediately pleaded with her, hoping she would agree to the matter.

In the past, Rulan wouldn't have needed to be so humble, but not now, because Minglan's reputation for embroidery had spread far and wide. Many wealthy and influential families knew that the Sheng family had a daughter whose embroidery was of exceptional quality and who was considered a master.

While this reputation brought Minglan a lot of trouble, it wasn't entirely without its benefits. At the very least, it brought her to the attention of Sheng Hong, the head of the Sheng family.

It was precisely because of Sheng Hong's orders that Ru Lan dared not force Ming Lan to comply, and could only make unreasonable requests.

"Fifth sister, you..."

Just when Minglan was getting a little fed up with being pestered, Rulan's nemesis, Molan, arrived.

"hehe!"

"Fifth Sister, what are you doing?"

Having just heard some news, Mo Lan was in a bad mood, so when she saw the people from Wei Rui Xuan, she naturally wanted to vent her anger on them.

When facing Ru Lan, Mo Lan naturally has a sense of intellectual superiority.
