The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 55 Mother, my daughter also wants to marry a duke!
Linxige

Compared with Wang Ruofu's elegant and quiet Weiruixuan, the decoration of Linqi Pavilion is elegant and luxurious.

If someone who doesn't know the truth compares them carefully, they may not be able to tell who is the principal wife and who is the concubine.

Lin Qinshuang was dressed in pink satin, with a few strands of hair tilted on her forehead, making her look particularly charming. She sat quietly in front of the dressing table, wiping her face and washing her hands while her maid helped her.

When she heard someone coming in, she tilted her head slightly and took a look: "Hualan is back home today, how is Mo'er doing?"

"Okay!"

It was Molan, who returned to Linqi Pavilion accompanied by her maid.

"What do you mean okay?"

"Sister Hualan is naturally closer to Ruolan, while Minglan and I are a little more polite."

"Oh? That's normal. After all, Rulan is her biological sister, born of the same mother. It would be strange if she could treat her equally."

Lin Qinshuang wiped her hands and asked curiously, "What did Hualan talk to you about today?"

"Sister Hualan gave some accessories and gifts to comfort the sisters. She said that after the imperial examination, Madam Wu of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion would organize a polo club, and she would take us to play then."

"Polo Club, what is that?"

"You are too ignorant. The polo club is a gathering for playing polo. There will be fishing, horseback riding, and hammering. I heard that all the talented people will go there to play.

Sister Hualan said that this polo club will be held once or twice a year, and she will take us to play and broaden our horizons. "

Molan picked up a cup of tea and felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.

"Well, my eldest brother-in-law seemed to have mentioned that my second brother, third brother, the young master, and Uncle Gu will take the imperial examination this year. My eldest brother-in-law is the chief examiner this year, so he gave some encouragement."

"What? Your brother-in-law is the chief examiner this year? What about Feng'er? With such a good opportunity, how can you not study hard?"

Lin Qinshuang's eyes lit up. This was a great opportunity to pass the imperial examination!

"Well, it seems like he went to a banquet or a feast."

"This evil!"

"By the way, what is Second Uncle Gu? Gu Tingye is the legitimate son of the Marquis after all. He keeps calling you Second Uncle Gu. How could the young Marquis be interested in you?"

Lin Qinshuang looked at her daughter unhappily. This young marquis is not bad. Can't he be a backup project?

"My dear, that Gu Tingye is a playboy. I don't want to marry such a useless son of a marquis."

"That doesn't mean we are too different in generation, right?"

"You don't know, but Gu Tingye and the young master are relatives. The young master should call Gu Tingye "Second Uncle". If my daughter doesn't call him "Second Uncle", then she and the young master are not of the same generation, which is not good."

Sheng Molan shook her head decisively. She didn't want to marry a mere marquis's son like Gu Tingye.

"Well, then you must seize this opportunity of being taught by Master Zhuang and try to make the young master fall in love with you."

Lin Qinshuang had never actually met the young marquis and the young master. Everything she knew came from her daughter's description, and she had no idea how far the relationship between her daughter and the young master had developed.

"Don't worry, young lady. The one who is close to the water will get the moon first. A few days ago, the young master praised my beautiful calligraphy! When I get along with the young master and he insists on marrying me, can Princess Pingning still refute it?"

Molan shook her head, looking disdainful of the legitimate son of a marquis.

"By the way, you said that the young master praised your handwriting. Was he praising your handwriting or the pen in your hand?"

Lin Qinshuang paid great attention to details and remembered the few pens of the young master that her daughter had obtained from the sixth girl a few days ago.

"Young Master, he is looking at the good words written by his pen on my hand!"

Sheng Molan also remembered something, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart, and her tone became a little heavier.

It turned out that Qi Heng had given two pens in total, both for Sheng Minglan, but the one in her hand was snatched away.

"Why did this young master give Sixth Girl such an expensive pen? Could it be that he has a crush on Sixth Girl?"

Lin Qinshuang looked at her daughter's expression and immediately felt a little sensitive. The young master gave the pen to Minglan, so she was afraid there might be something fishy going on.

"Minglan? She's a concubine's daughter, how could the young master possibly like her?"

Sheng Molan shook her head deeply, thinking of Sheng Minglan's weak and humble character, and felt that it was unlikely.

"But Mo'er, you are also a concubine's daughter!"

Lin Qinshuang frowned slightly, feeling more and more that something was wrong.

"I am my mother's daughter, the fourth daughter of the Sheng family. I live a more noble life than a legitimate daughter. How can Minglan compare with me?"

Sheng Molan was full of pride, thinking that a noble concubine's daughter was no worse than a legitimate daughter.

"That's good. The young master is not bad either."

"But are you sure that the young master likes you? It is said that Princess Pingning has a domineering personality and is arrogant. I am afraid she looks down on illegitimate children." "If the young master is determined to marry me, can he really listen to Princess Pingning?"

Speaking of this, Sheng Molan looked very happy and contented.

"Yes, just like your father. If the mother's opinion is the same as hers, the son will say that he is filial. If it is different, the son will not listen to the mother. Back then, the old lady also refused to let me in, but in the end, didn't she let me in?"

"The young master is the best choice. If all else fails, choose the young marquis. The Marquis's Mansion is not bad either."

Lin Xiaoniang was very happy in her heart, and even fantasized about her daughter marrying into the Duke's mansion and living a rich life.

"Your elder sister is lucky to have met someone like Hong Ge'er who is hard to come by in a thousand years. Do you have anything to say?"

Old Mrs. Sheng held a cup of hot tea and looked at her little granddaughter who was eating snacks seriously below with a smile.

"what?"

Sheng Minglan was a little confused as she stuffed the snacks seriously. What did she want to say?

"Ming'er, at your age, you will be talking about marriage in a few years, so some things should be considered early and planned before taking action.

Not everyone has the luck that your elder sister has. With Hong'er's family background, even if he doesn't pass the imperial examination, he will still be rich and noble for the rest of his life, not to mention."

"what?"

Sheng Minglan's eyes moved slightly and she looked a little dazed.

"Ming'er, don't play dumb. Qi Dafeiou, you should know this clearly!"

Old Madam Sheng's tone became a little sharper. She knew very well what kind of person the princess of the Qi family was.

Not to mention that Princess Pingning is unlikely to allow her granddaughter to marry into the family. Even if the Qi family is interested in Hong'er's future, Minglan's life will not be easy after she marries him.

Minglan and Rulan are different after all.

Hualan is Rulan's biological sister, but not Minglan's biological sister.

There seems to be little difference here, but in fact there is a big difference in closeness.

This is also one of the reasons why big families marry legitimate daughters instead of illegitimate daughters.

A legitimate daughter can be tied to a family to a certain extent, and a concubine's daughter can also be tied to the family, but the hook is not strong.

Not to mention that Princess Pingning is very arrogant and not a good person. If my granddaughter marries her, she will probably have to serve her mother-in-law every day and spend her whole life serving others.

"Grandma, granddaughter and granddaughter don't know either."

Sheng Minglan's eyes flashed with hesitation. On one side was her closest grandmother, and on the other was the young master who had promised desperately.
"Ming'er, Qi Heng is a very handsome man with an elegant demeanor, and he is one of the most famous people in Bianjing. Although the Duke of Qi's Mansion has declined, his family is still one of the top ones in Bianjing City.

Qi Heng is determined to take the imperial examinations and is also an ambitious child. Anyone who sees such a young man will be moved by him. But the gap between the Qi family and the Sheng family is too big!"

"grandmother."

Sheng Minglan's somewhat calm gaze trembled slightly, and then she lowered her head.

“Before he was promoted to Yangzhou, your father had planned to marry your elder sister to the second son of the Earl of Zhongqin’s mansion.

However, the Earl's Mansion is the most declining family in the Earl's Mansion. Your elder sister, a legitimate daughter, cannot even marry into the Duke's Mansion, let alone the gap between you, a concubine's daughter, and the Duke's Mansion?"

"Now, although you have a brother-in-law like Hong Ge'er, you should know that your elder sister is the legitimate granddaughter of Old Master Wang. This status is something you can never compare to!"

Old Madam Sheng was concerned and anxious, her tone was a little heavy, "You have never seen Qi Heng's mother, you have only heard that this person is arrogant, grandma, I know what kind of person she is!
She was a princess who grew up beside the queen. She was second only to the princess in nobility. She was spoiled by everyone. How could she be so proud? How could she let you in? "

"Ming'er, think about it carefully!"

Old Madam Sheng sighed deeply and looked at her granddaughter earnestly. It is common for young people to admire someone, but the one they meet may not be the right one.

The princess has a strong personality, so there must be someone with a weak personality to tolerate her strong personality.

Who can tolerate this?

Qi Heng and his father, Duke of Qi.

Qi Heng is weak in character. Does he really have the courage to resist the princess?
Sheng Minglan listened, but only part of it. Qi Heng's promise was still vivid in her mind, and she was really willing to believe him.

Old Mrs. Sheng looked at her granddaughter's reaction and sighed slightly.

Wasn't it the same for her back then? Her heart seemed to be completely covered, and she loved that man almost unconditionally.
Well, if it rains, it will, and if my mother wants to get married, let it happen tomorrow!

After all, Ming'er is nominally the sister-in-law of the young cabinet minister, and her status has risen several levels compared to the past.

If it really happens, there will be someone to protect me tomorrow
