Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 59 Zhang Guifen suddenly came to Sheng’s house to look for Minglan
Sheng family, Twilight Cangzhai.

Minglan looked at the gifts and murmured:

"Mom, this is too much, how should we return the gift?"

Wei Shuyi was also worried about this matter.

A dignified British government must have everything.

After a pause, Wei Shu asked casually: "How have you been practicing your calligraphy recently?"

Minglan said truthfully: "It's okay. I can only say it's barely watchable."

Wei Shu smiled and said, "Write a letter to your uncle, explain the Zhang family girl's gift to you, and ask your uncle what to do."

Minglan's eyes lit up, "I've been thinking about writing a letter to my uncle these past few days, but firstly I'm afraid that my handwriting will be too ugly, and secondly, mother won't let me do it."

Wei Shu said sympathetically: "No matter how ugly your handwriting is, your uncle will not blame you."

"I just feel for my mother. There is a war going on at the border. It is not the right time for you to write a letter at this time."

"But it's winter now, and I expect that the border will be peaceful and there won't be too many wars. It's a good time for you to write a letter."

Minglan nodded happily and started writing immediately.

This was the first time she wrote to Wei Yuan.

In the past, it was Wei Shu who wrote it. She wanted to say a lot, but her mother could only mention one or two sentences in the letter at most.

Now, I can say that what I want to say and write is vividly written on the paper.

Without paying attention, six or seven pieces of paper were filled.

It ranges from the daily situation of Brother Mu, Minglan playing with others, to the big events such as Mrs. Zhang coming to Sheng's house.

In short, Minglan wrote almost all the things that make people happy.

Wei Shu looked at it and couldn't help but said:

"Why do you even write about trivial things? How many goals did you score at the polo field, and what kind of praise did you get from Zhuang Xuexue? There is no need to write about such things."

"As a general, your uncle has a lot of things to do every day. How can he have time to read so many trivial things you write about."

Minglan curled her lips, she wanted to continue writing, she still didn't finish her thoughts, but
Afraid of being taught a lesson by his own mother.

I can only put down my pen in a reluctant state.

The next day.

As soon as the letter was sent, Minglan was already looking forward to her uncle's reply.

The Sheng family temporarily opened a school.

Minglan read the book absentmindedly and didn't listen to what Zhuang Xuexue said.

Suddenly, Rulan pretended to cough twice.

Minglan remained unmoved.

Finally, Xuexue Zhuang frowned and said to Minglan:

"Minglan, do you know what I mean by what I just said?"

Minglan realized it later, came to her senses, stood up in a hurry, and said "Ah".

Ru Lan whispered: "A gentleman walks according to the Tao, and only half-studies and wastes it. I can't do it anymore. I just said this again as a scholar."

Minglan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so she could only say truthfully: "Students don't understand."

Zhuang Xuexue snorted, "Since you don't understand, why don't you listen carefully?"

Minglan lowered her head and remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Zhuang Xuexue recalled that Minglan had cooked some delicious food for him on weekdays, so he had to shake his head and give up.
"Sit down, listen carefully to the lecture, and don't be distracted. Otherwise, you will be punished to copy "The Doctrine of the Mean" once today."

Minglan nodded quickly.

After class.

Qi Heng noticed that the Four Treasures of the Study used by the Sheng brothers were all from the imperial court, and he said curiously:

"These fine Hu brushes are truly exquisite. Only a few dozen of them are sold to the public every year. The rest are used as tribute to the imperial court."

"I wonder where you two got it from? Although the officials will reward my family with some every year, after all, it is too little, and I am reluctant to use it."

"If Brother Changbai and Brother Changfeng have connections, I will buy some and store them."

Hearing this, Sheng Changbai looked at Minglan who was sitting on the other side and said with a smile: "We can use the four treasures of the imperial study, thanks to Sixth Sister."

Sheng Changfeng took over the conversation and told the whole story.

Qi Heng suddenly realized, "No wonder."

"If Uncle Gu were here and saw such a good Four Treasures of the Study, he would definitely be moved."

A few days ago, Gu Tingye decided to leave the capital and wanted to study abroad.

Sheng Changbai smiled and said, "Young Master still doesn't understand Brother Gu. How could he be interested in these Four Treasures of the Study?"

"He loves weapons more than the four treasures."

Qi Heng smiled and said: "After all, he comes from the generals."

Now if there is no Princess Pingning in the Duke of Qi's mansion, it would be Qi Heng's mother who is supporting it.

The entire palace is probably in decline a long time ago.

Even the current Duke's Palace of Qi cannot compare with the British Duke's Palace.

Because for now, the Great Zhou Dynasty can live without the Duke of Qi, but it cannot live without the Duke of England.

A few people chatted for a while and then dispersed.

Mo Lan then left Qi Heng and hurriedly chased after him, saying: "Young Master, if you like the Four Treasures of the Study, I also have a set here. I haven't used it yet. Can you take it and use it?"

Qi Heng frowned, "What do you think I lack? Although it is precious, it is not a problem to come up with a few sets in my house." Mo Lan looked embarrassed, "I didn't mean that."

Qi Heng said with a smile: "I understand Fourth Sister's wishes."

Seeing Mo Lan's posture, Ru Lan couldn't help but snorted coldly,
"Who are you? Taking your things and turning around to give them to others."

Minglan remained silent.

The two sisters were quarreling, and Minglan always wanted to stay out of it.

Occasionally, he would also help Ru Lan to say a few words to Mo Lan.

Perhaps because of Mo Lan's mother, Minglan didn't like her very much.

After all, Minglan still remembers the scene when Wei Shuyi gave birth that day.

If Wei Yuan hadn't made arrangements in advance, I couldn't imagine the consequences.

After Mo Lan said goodbye to Young Master Qi, she came to pack her things and said to Minglan along the way:

"Sixth sister, you don't blame me, do you?"

"My young master is a guest in our Sheng family. I saw that he was interested in the four treasures of the study that Sister Zhang gave you, so I thought it would be for the sake of our Sheng family to give him my useless set."

"After all, Sixth Sister gave me such a good thing, but I would be reluctant to use it on weekdays."

Ru Lan snorted dissatisfiedly, "Hypocritical."

Minglan said with a normal expression: "Of course, it's just that it's not good for the fourth sister to turn around and give away her sister's heart to others."

"I'm afraid that if my sister has any good things in the future, she won't dare to give it to the fourth sister. If the fourth sister gives it to someone else, wouldn't she be betraying her sister's good intentions?"

Mo Lan was obviously taking advantage of her.

She called Zhang Guifen aunt.

Are you calling Sister Zhang?
Are you familiar with me?
Mo Lan smiled and said: "Sixth sister, you made all the mistakes, and they are all my fault. Don't be angry."

Rulan took Minglan's arm and said, "Minglan, let's go and ignore her."

While talking.

Suddenly, a young woman in red came here. When she saw Minglan in the school, she immediately waved and said:
"Minglan! Minglan!"

Sanlan couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this.

It turned out that Zhang Guifen, the only daughter of a British prince, came here.

"Uncle and aunt? Why are you here?"

Minglan stepped forward quickly.

Mo Lan also followed closely, "I've met Sister Zhang."

Zhang Guifen glared at her, then turned to look at Minglan with a smile.
"What? Are you surprised that I'm here? Or are you unhappy?"

Minglan shook her head quickly and was about to say something.

Then I heard Mo Lan say from the side: "I was too quick to talk. Minglan called you aunt. I am her sister, so I should also call you aunt."

"I was just surprised to see you suddenly arrive. I overstepped the etiquette for a moment. Please forgive me."

Zhang Guifen ignored her and still looked at Minglan,

"I heard that you study with an old scholar and have to read until noon every day. You are only free in the afternoon."

"So I came here uninvited. Come on, I'll take you to Fanlou to eat something good."

The latter quickly shook his head and said: "Aunt, today I promised my mother that I would accompany her."

"How about I cook you some special dishes and have dinner at my mother's place today?"

"Are you having dinner at your mother's place?" Zhang Guifen suddenly seemed at a loss, "But, I didn't bring any gifts for your mother this time."

Minglan smiled and said: "You have already given us a lot of gifts. If you give more, we will be embarrassed to accept them."

Zhang Guifen still felt embarrassed, "How could you not express your feelings when you meet the eldest sister for the first time?"

Minglan took the initiative to hold her arm and said, "Auntie, meeting gifts and so on are too vulgar. If we become a family in the future, will you still want to see others like this?"

Upon hearing the words 'family', Zhang Guifen felt as if honey had been applied to her heart and said with a smile:

"Then it's up to you. It's my fault for not thinking carefully. I came to find you today because I must have met your mother. It's all my fault."

Nowadays, in Zhang Guifen, nothing is more lethal than a family.

Of course, this family refers to the Zhang family and the Wei family.

"Minglan, you don't want your own, it sounds weird."

Zhang Guifen finally agreed to Minglan's request.

She came to Sheng's house today just on a whim.

Mo Lan said from the side: "You're right, we are all a family from now on, why do we need to see each other outside?"

It's okay if she doesn't speak.

As soon as she spoke and mentioned those three words, Zhang Guifen instantly felt unhappy. She frowned slightly, which made Mo Lan's heart tremble.
"Minglan and I were talking quietly, and it seems inappropriate for you to eavesdrop and interrupt like this openly, right?"

Who can whisper? It must be a family.

Who uses the term eavesdropping to describe someone? It must be an outsider.

Mo Lan looked embarrassed and didn't dare to stand here anymore, so she quickly left here.

When Ru Lan behind her saw someone saying a few words, she suppressed Mo Lan tightly and couldn't help but smile.

She was not as shameless as Mo Lan. When she saw Zhang Guifen, she just bowed slightly and left.
