Time is like running water and a leaping horse, fleeting and empty.
More than a month later.
Bianliang, Shengfu.
Shou'an Hall, Lihua Cabinet.
The bright and warm sun shines quietly on the flowers, green grass, strange rocks and ancient trees outside.
"Buzz~buzz~"
As the climate gets warmer and spring returns to the earth, countless elves have descended into the mortal world. The bees and butterflies caused by the scent of warm flowers are even more vying with each other and making noisy noises.
A ray of bright gold passed through the window paper and peacefully hit the face of the melancholy girl in the room, exuding a youthful atmosphere.
"Alas~"
Minglan sat quietly on a small round stool in the room, lying on the table, holding her chin and sighing lightly.
"Look at the time, my brother's childbirth examination should have passed long ago?"
"How come you haven't come back yet?"
With her crescent-like thin eyebrows furrowed, Minglan looked worried.
"girl!"
At this time, the only two girls closest to Minglan, Xiaotao and Danju, were busy in the room. After seeing Minglan's attitude, they felt the same and felt a little sad.
After all, the Minglan siblings were very kind to them.
In fact, apart from Xiao Tao who followed the Ming Lan siblings without much thought, Dan Ju was very well-intentioned.
In Danju's view, she was assigned to Minglan's house by the old lady, so she would follow Minglan from now on, and she would be the leader. The relationship between the two of them would be one of sharing weal and woe, and the relationship between the two would be one of humiliation and death.
In addition, due to Danju's own character, she has always been loyal to Minglan after following her, putting Minglan's interests first at all times. Sometimes, even the old lady's status is slightly inferior.
Of course, Danju did this partly because of her nature, and partly because she knew that doing so would be better for her in the future!
"girl!"
Compared to Xiao Tao, Dan Ju is more articulate.
Of course, it’s not much better than that!
"girl!"
Danju realized that Minglan was still in a daze, so she couldn't help raising her voice and called out.
"Ah? Danju, what's wrong?"
Minglan suddenly realized.
"girl!"
Danju put down the rag in her hand, washed the water on her hands, looked at Minglan and advised: "You have been working here for a long time, you should get up and move around!"
This was Sheng Changquan's instruction to Danju and the others, asking them to urge Minglan to carry out activities from time to time to prevent her from sleeping all day or... just sleeping!
After all, Minglan's only hobby is sleeping.
"Uh-huh!"
"Sister Danju is right!"
"Girl, you should get up and move around. Young Master Changquan specifically told me before he left that he wanted me to keep an eye on you and not let you sleep in all day long. You should go for a walk in the garden more often!"
As if recalling the knowledge points in her memory, Xiao Tao talked about a lot at once.
"Brother?"
Minglan's brows furrowed again.
"Xiao Tao!"
Dan Ju rolled her eyes at Xiao Tao and expressed her "hate" for this "pig teammate" - isn't this why she is talking about Sheng Changquan?
Danju gives Xiaotao a "death stare" and tells her to shut up!
"ah?"
Xiaotao realized later that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have said.
"puff!"
Seeing the interesting interaction between her two maids, Minglan suddenly laughed out loud.
"alright!"
"You two, please stop teasing me in front of me!"
Minglan stopped speaking and stood up: "Actually, I know everything. My brother is just going to take a scientific examination, not to fight. Nothing will happen to him!"
"It's just that this is the first time he has gone out alone, and he has been away from me for so long. It is inevitable that I, as a sister, will be a little worried about gains and losses!"
Minglan naturally knew what her current situation was. She was just a dependent sister worried about her only blood brother.
"girl!"
Danju walked up to Minglan and said, "This is human nature. After all, Master Changquan only has a sister like you!"
"never mind!"
Minglan thought for a while, but temporarily put aside the matter and started talking about other things.
"By the way, Danju, please help me find the polo skirt in my box now. I need to use it tomorrow!"
"whee!"
Xiao Tao smiled and spoke first: "Girl, Sister Danju has already prepared it!"
She thought that she had just been disliked by Dan Ju, but at this moment she was just showing off for Dan Ju in order to gain favor, so Xiao Tao said as she turned around and took out a water blue gown and polo skirt from the box.
This is the "war skirt" used by turnstiles for women's polo, which can better facilitate the owner's movements such as riding a horse and hitting the ball.
"hehe!"
When watching Xiao Tao's "clumsy" and silly actions, both Ming Lan and Dan Ju felt a little funny.
"This little peach!"
Minglan shook her head in her mind and stopped her attempt to unfold the polo skirt: "Okay, now that the clothes are folded, don't spread them out again, so as not to have to iron them with a fire iron again tonight!"
A fire iron is an iron with hot water in ancient times. It is a tool specially used to iron clothes and remove wrinkles from clothes.
"By the way, Xiaotao, have you asked Xinke if he can live his life?"
While talking, Minglan remembered Aunt Wei's coming to Beijing, so she asked, "How long will it take for Aunt Wei to arrive in Beijing?"
"girl."
Xiao Tao obediently put away her clothes and handed them to Danju next to her. Then she reported back: "I have already asked the letter guest. He said that it would take half a month at the fastest to get from Yangzhou City to Bianjing City. Woolen cloth!"
"However, those are all methods used by noble people to make themselves rich. Only by taking the waterway can you save time!"
Xiao Tao recounted all the information she had found out: "If it were an ordinary person's home, I'm afraid they would choose the laborious but cheaper method, which is to walk all the way by foot, which would take more than two months! "
Everyone in Minglan knew that Aunt Wei's choice should be the latter.
Because Aunt Wei is a self-respecting person, in these years, she has always been the only one to send things to Minglan, but Minglan has never subsidized her.
Of course, it’s not that Minglan won’t give it, but that Aunt Wei definitely doesn’t want it!
"In that case, Auntie should be arriving soon?"
Minglan looked surprised: "I just don't know if Adi can come back before auntie comes. After all, he has never seen auntie before!"
"girl."
Xiaotao suddenly realized that Minglan had made a mistake and reminded her carefully: "Have you forgotten, Master Changquan met his aunt when he was just born?"
"At that time..."
"Uh-huh!"
Before Xiao Tao could finish her words, she immediately received two "evil" eyes in the room!
"Forehead……"
Xiao Tao was dumbfounded, realizing that maybe... maybe... maybe... she had said the wrong thing again...
"Alas~"
"I don't know what Xiaotao will do if she leaves me in the future?"
Minglan let out a desperate sigh in her heart again: "Xiao Tao, you...you should prepare things for me for tomorrow's polo match at Mrs. Wu's house!"
In order to stop asking Xiao Tao to talk, Minglan simply assigned her a task to stop her mouth.
"Yes, girl!"
Xiao Tao herself agreed with some aggrievement.
