The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 61 Molan in Action

Linxige

Lin Qinshuang had a strand of hair tilted as she looked quietly into the distance, frowning from time to time.

Sheng Molan didn't know if she was following suit, but her hair was also tilted a little on purpose, which gave her a more worldly and charming aura at this innocent age.

"Mother, Minglan is also a person with a miserable life. She has made a big joke this time."

Sheng Molan felt a little gloating.

Lin Xiaoniang also smiled happily, "Last time Princess Pingning proposed to Minglan, it didn't work out.

In order to reassure her, the old lady took her to Youyang. But this time, she came back from Youyang and the young master got married right after that? "

"Princess Pingning is a proud and arrogant person, so she naturally looks down on Minglan. Now, Prince Yong has many heirs, and the people in the court and the country are in favor of him. He may ascend the throne one day. It just so happens that the Princess of Jiacheng County has taken a fancy to the young master. Princess Pingning is not a fool, so she will naturally agree."

Sheng Molan shook her head helplessly. She had been hoping to marry the young master for some time, but the young master looked down on her and always had Minglan in his heart.

Therefore, she gradually stopped competing for the young master.

Lin Qinshuang gently stroked her daughter's hair and said, "Young Master Qi is also blind. He actually fell in love with a little girl like Minglan.

Although the Qi family is a duke's mansion, it has long been in decline. There is no shortage of wealth in Bianjing City, and my Mo'er doesn't have to hang herself on a tree. It's better not to marry this young master Qi!"

"Don't worry, mother. My daughter will marry a wealthy family."

Sheng Molan nodded seriously. She had heard a lot of stories about her father from her mother over the years.

The contrast between life in the bitter cold land and her current life is really huge. She has always been spoiled and doesn't want to live that kind of life.

After all, my father managed to survive from this bitter and cold land.

But behind my father’s glorious success, there are many other Jinshi who failed and spent their whole lives in hardship and coldness.
Since you don't want to live a hard and cold life, then marry into a wealthy family with no worries.

"It's good that my son has big ambitions." Lin Qinshuang smiled happily and pulled Sheng Molan up.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Sheng Molan was a little confused.

"Your father told me yesterday that Minglan and the young master's relationship has fallen through, right? The Liang family of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion has taken a fancy to Minglan, and Madam Wu specially organized a polo match for you sisters to play at, and by the way, she will let Liang Liulang and Minglan meet each other. You should quickly change into some nice clothes and go to the polo match together."

"What? Madam Wu from the Earl of Yongchang's mansion has taken a fancy to Minglan?"

Sheng Molan was a little surprised, and then a little angry.

She had fallen in love with the young master at the beginning, but was snatched away by Sheng Minglan.

Therefore, she had to make another choice.

When the old Ningyuan Marquis passed away last time, she took the opportunity to write a poem to attract Liang Liulang's attention, and also whetted Liang Liulang's appetite with her temperament as a lady from a noble family.

During the polo match, she took the opportunity to exchange glances with the Sixth Young Master of the Liang Family, and also took the opportunity to write poems and talk about him. She had already regarded Liang Liulang as a potential prey.

During this period of time, she has seen a lot and realized that marrying into the Duke's Mansion is really a bit too high.

The Earl of Yongchang's Mansion is one of the richest families in Bianliang, and is also a good choice.

Now, the backup candidate Liang Liulang naturally became the first choice.

Who would have thought that Liang Liulang's mother, Madam Wu, fell in love with Minglan again?
What good is there in something abandoned by a young master?

This Sheng Minglan is really a nemesis!

"Mo'er, calm down. Especially at this time, we can't let anything go wrong."

Lin Qinshuang had already anticipated her daughter's reaction and comforted her immediately.

"Mother, how can I be at ease and calm? This Madam Wu has been seen by others. If things go well, Sheng Minglan will marry into the Earl's Mansion and become the Earl's wife!"

"Last time, my father said he would find me a poor scholar. Who would want to marry a poor scholar? Without wealth, I might as well die."

Sheng Molan could no longer sit still and immediately paced back and forth anxiously.

"Silly child, that's why your mother wants you to take this opportunity to go to the polo club and meet Liang Liulang! This is a godsend opportunity!"

Lin Qinshuang immediately supported Sheng Molan's forehead, which made Sheng Molan's panicked heart calm down a lot.

"I won't go. Since Madam Wu has already set her sights on Minglan, what's the point of me going? I can't ask her not to marry Sheng Minglan, can I?"

"My silly Mo'er, a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother. Madam Wu likes Minglan, but Liang Liulang likes you!"

Lin Qinshuang stood up calmly, not panicking at all.

"My Mo'er is so capable, how could she possibly marry a poor scholar or a poor Jinshi? Didn't the old lady try her best to prevent me from entering the Sheng family, but didn't I force my way in?"

Lin Qinshuang was not panicked at all, as she had experience with this kind of thing.

Moreover, it is the experience of successfully breaking through.

"Mother means to let me"

Sheng Molan was startled and realized something. "But the Madam will also be there. How can she allow me to get close to Liang Liulang?" "As long as you are brave enough and do it covertly, there will be no problem. I have asked someone to find out that every time Madam Wu finishes playing polo, she will stop by Yuqing Temple to pay her respects. If you seize the opportunity at Yuqing Temple, you will be able to succeed."

Speaking of this, Lin Qinshuang immediately whispered her experience.

Sheng Molan listened carefully and felt more at ease.

After hearing the latter part, she nodded repeatedly: "Young Master Liang regards me as a god in heaven, but that Madam Wu is a bit of a hindrance."

"You can only seek wealth and honor through risk. If you only think about these things, how can you expect to have a happy life after all the hardships?

As your mother, I was able to make my own decisions back then, knowing that your father was soft-hearted and easy to manipulate, which is why I have the wealth I have today.

You were born as the daughter of an official family, so you should step on the Sheng family's door lintel to climb up. The Earl's wife doesn't like you, does that mean the Earl's son doesn't like you either?"

"What Auntie said makes sense. I'll go!"

"Now you understand! I don't need to explain other things to you in detail, right?"

Sheng Molan didn't say anything, but just tightened her clothes.

"Come!"

Lin Qinshuang smiled happily again and put a light shirt on her daughter.

Sheng Molan immediately put on her clothes with confidence.

Before this, her father Sheng Hong had selected two young scholars as husbands for her, but she really looked down on a poor scholar and decisively asked her to refuse them.

In fact, because of her eldest brother-in-law, she could even directly catch a husband who is a Jinshi.

However, she also looked down on Jinshi.

It is extremely difficult for a scholar to become a high-ranking official and live a life of wealth and honor.

Although she longed to be as wealthy and carefree as her elder sister and preferred a civil service family, she was also aware of one fact: it was basically impossible to find a husband like her elder sister's husband among the civil servants.

It's not just a matter of the imperial examination ranking, but also of my eldest brother-in-law's original family, which is also a large local family in a wealthy place like Yangzhou.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if poor scholars struggled for ten lifetimes, they might not be able to achieve the wealth and power of such a local tyrant family.

Sheng Molan believed that she had made a lot of calculations and had weighed the pros and cons. She didn't want to be as foolish as Madam Wang and follow a husband through decades of hardship.

If you want to get married, marry someone who is ready-made, a noble family with no worries about wealth and status, and who has been wealthy for generations.

Civil servants need accumulation and dedication.

I, Sheng Molan, like to enjoy life but don’t like to make sacrifices!
Don’t worry, it must be a career!
I didn’t plan to accept Shulan, I just wanted to ask her if she wanted to show off.

My last two pictures are indeed a bit watery, but there is nothing I can do about it, this is a problem with the timeline of "The Story of Minglan".

The timeline of "The Story of Minglan" is outrageous.

Hualan got married in the first episode at the age of 10, while Minglan was . Hualan is years older than Minglan.

In episode 13, Changbai passed the imperial examination at the age of . Changbai is two years younger than Hualan and eight years older than Minglan.

At this time, Minglan was fifteen years old.

In episode 14 of the TV series, Old Lady Sheng mentioned Minglan’s coming of age, proving that the timeline was correct.

That is to say, there is a difference of nearly 1 years between episode 13 and episode 9!
And episode 13, or 10 onwards.

10-38, everything that happened between then and Gu Tingye's rescue.
Yes, just about a year.

The new emperor’s special examination made the young master pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.

Since Minglan had no trouble finding a husband at that time, it means he was at most a little over 16 years old, which was more than a year after Changbai passed the imperial examination.

If we calculate it by half, it would be just over a year.

That is, Minglan plays polo, breaks up with her lover, goes to her hometown in Youyang, Gu Tingye saves the beauty and plots against Molan.
These happened within more than a year.

This also means that the novel "Knowing Your Destiny" has to deal with 10 to 30 episodes of the plot that only covers more than a year.

So, I'm going to skip a few sentences.

But, after all, there are 20 episodes, and it would be a bit too harsh to just brush it aside.

I was thinking about whether or not to show off, and I was quite hesitant at the time, so I asked for everyone's opinions.

Sorry, sorry.

Don’t worry, career is definitely the main focus.

Once the Molan copy is completed, the new emperor will ascend the throne.

I don't dare to go into the water anymore, don't worry
