There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 453
Tang Shuwan heard something in Ming Lan's words, she was already generous, she didn't care about the heart palpitations caused by Ming Lan's teasing of the word "husband", she frowned and asked:
"You girl, you are so confused. Brother Shi is about to marry Tofu Xishi as his wife. I...how could I have the chance to change my words and call him...for..."

"Husband!" Minglan shouted for her with a smile.

"Stop being ridiculous. If you have anything else to say, please say it quickly." Tang Shuwan pursed her lips. She actually had expectations in her heart, but she was embarrassed to show it too obviously.

Minglan's little face smiled like a flower, and it was mysterious. After whetting Tang Shuwan's appetite, she continued:
"For his meritorious service, Mr. Su will soon be granted the title of Third-Rank Founding County Marquis!"

"From the third rank... the founding county magistrate?!" Tang Shuwan exclaimed again, and then she felt relieved. After all, Su Xian's military exploits this time are a bit big, and it is the only big victory in more than ten years. It is of great significance.

"Brother broke with the family, and he has come to this point with his own ability, he can be regarded as a leader, congratulations!" Tang Shuwan was sincerely happy for Su Xian.

Just happy, with a hint of melancholy.

Eh!
If Su Xian is really granted the title of Founding County Marquis, then when she marries Su Xian, she will not be marrying down. On the contrary, she will feel a little superior.

Although Tang Shuwan has no worldly attachment, she would be very excited if her future husband was a marquis. As a woman, she still has a little vanity.

Although there are lines such as "I regret asking my husband to seek a title", at first glance, the female poet who wrote the poem seems to regret urging her husband to seek fame and title.

But it's not.

This poem should be a "self-deprecating" show off, such as: "My villa has unsightly tiles, and I really regret it!"

Tang Shuwan was the legitimate daughter of the Tang family. She had read poetry and books since she was a child, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She also developed a first-class character and extraordinary knowledge. Marrying such a woman would bring blessings to three generations.

Therefore, it is impossible for her to have no requirements for her future husband.

"However, Mr. Su declined Princess Lanling's kindness and did not want to be named Marquis." Ming Lan said suddenly.

"what?"

Tang Shuwan was stunned again. What's the reason?
That's the Marquis!

Even if a little baron comes to their Tang family, the head of the Tang family does not dare to show any indifference and will treat him as a guest, let alone a marquis.

Minglan continued: "Master Su wants to use the opportunity of becoming a marquis to gain the status of an 'equal wife' for the sake of that tofu beauty."

Tang Shuwan was stunned again, then her face turned gloomy, and she sighed quietly: "Brother Shi did not hesitate to decline the opportunity to become a Marquis for the sake of that tofu Xi Shi. This shows that Brother Shi treats her..."

Before she could finish speaking, Minglan suddenly stared at her young lady with a strange look on her face and reminded her, "Miss, don't you even want to ask what an 'equal wife' is?"

Tang Shuwan was startled for a moment, recalled it, and hurriedly asked: "What is a flat wife?"

After Minglan explained clearly, Tang Shuwan's eyes widened inexplicably, a bright light flashed deep in her eyes, and her heart was beating wildly. She finally understood what the "opportunity" Minglan mentioned was.

Then, Minglan added that Princess Lanling would not only help Su Xian petition the marquis, but also help him apply for the status of his equal wife. In the end, everyone was happy.

"That's it. It seems that Princess Lanling values ​​​​the world brother very much." Tang Shuwan smiled sweetly and from the heart, sweeping away the sadness just now.

"Look, miss, let me tell you, your opportunity has come, and miss will soon change her tune and call Mr. Su her husband!" Ming Lan teased from the side.

"Damn girl, shut up." Tang Shuwan's reaction was particularly strong this time. She was originally gentle and calm, but she reached out to scratch Minglan's face, looking like she wanted to deal with Minglan severely.

"Husband! Husband!" Minglan didn't know it yet, but Tang Shuwan was stabbed in her heart this time. She was no longer the petty brawl she was before, so she ran away while laughing and continuing to tease.

"Stop, stop for me..." Tang Shuwan didn't care about maintaining her ladylike manner, and opened her legs to chase Minglan. The various accessories hanging on her body shook violently, especially the "forbidden step" fastened to her waist, which made a ring. The sound of jingle bells.

"..."

The two masters and servants chased and fought in the gazebo, turning around the stone table in the middle several times in a row.

Ming Lan finally realized that something was wrong. In the past, even if she teased Tang Shuwan, Tang Shuwan would only punch her lightly. It was rare for Tang Shuwan to chase her and not let go like today.

But Minglan was also a girl who refused to admit defeat. She rolled her eyes and an idea came to her mind. Then she waved to stop, lying on the stone table with her hands and panting.

Tang Shuwan felt tired after running for so long. She lay on the stone table with her hands and panted, staring at Minglan, not letting her go.

"The young lady reacted so fiercely. Could it be that she doesn't want to marry Mr. Su?" Minglan asked.

"I don't want to!" Tang Shuwan pursed her lips, duplicity. She actually wanted to marry Su Xian, but for some reason, she, who had always been so generous in the sunset, became childish about this matter.

"Hey, I don't know Miss. A Lang and his wife are discussing the marriage with Mr. Su in the living room of the main house. I wanted to take Miss to eavesdrop."

"Since the young lady doesn't want to marry Mr. Su, let's forget it. I'm going to tell Alang and his wife to give up the idea of ​​marrying Mr. Su."

As soon as she finished speaking, Minglan turned around and ran towards the main house with a bright smile.

Tang Shuwan was suddenly ashamed and anxious. She stretched out her hand, her long sleeves fluttering. She wanted to call Minglan, but she couldn't speak anyway, so she finally said one word:

"Eh……"

"..."

Fortunately, Minglan was upright after all. She stopped as soon as she ran out of the pavilion, and turned back to look at Tang Shuwan meaningfully.

Tang Shuwan withdrew her outstretched hand and stood there with her head lowered, her face flushed, she hesitated to speak, she was squirming, and she was no longer as generous as before.

After all, this matter is too important to her, and it involves the rest of her life, so she really can't be generous.

Minglan returned to the pavilion and stopped teasing her young lady. Instead, she took Tang Shuwan's hand and walked out of the pavilion while saying:
"Miss, let's go to the living room of the main house and eavesdrop!"

"But..." Tang Shuwan hesitated, but her steps began to move unknowingly.

"Oh, miss, it's too late if you go late. Don't you want to hear about Alang's arrangements?" Minglan said forcefully.

"It's not good..."

Tang Shuwan hesitated, but under Minglan's tug, she half-pushed, half-hidden, walked out of the garden, avoided the crowd, and sneaked into the main house.

The main house is the courtyard where Tang Ju and Mrs. Chen live.

Under Minglan's guidance and instigation, Tang Shuwan kicked deep and shallow, almost revealing her secret several times. She tensed her nerves and body, and finally arrived at the side door of the living room.

After entering through the side door, they tiptoed, like thieves, hiding behind a screen.

Fortunately for Minglan, she often does this kind of thing and is very familiar with it.

But Tang Shuwan is a lady after all, how could she ever be so wretched?As a result, I felt uncomfortable all over my body, my whole body was stiff and tight, I was gasping for air, and I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

"Su Xian is so shameless! He picked my peaches! They were two big, white peaches!"

Tang Shuwan and Minglan, who were hiding behind the screen, heard Tang Shujing's voice first.

Tang Shujing seemed very angry, gritted her teeth, and cursed loudly in the living room.
