Episode 23
Old Mrs. Sheng mentioned the dangers along the way, thanks to the company of a good granddaughter. The old lady took Minglan's hand to greet her, and Minglan seemed to be very popular.The eldest lady has two granddaughters. The eldest granddaughter Sheng Shulan is married, and the second granddaughter Sheng Pinlan is very naughty.Mrs. He intervened and said that there were rogue bandits in Youyang, so she asked Pinlan to call He Hongwen when they were playing with Minglan, and bring some family items, so that they could take care of them.Early the next morning, Pinlan came to wake Minglan up. Seeing her lying in bed, he took the porcelain doll from her hand. Minglan hurriedly obeyed and got up to wash up.
Gu Tingye went to Zhao Ceying to ask for a letter of recommendation to join the army, but was placed in the last Huangzi team by General Xie Bingde. Shitou wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Tingye.Sheng Changwu took Minglan and Pinlan out for hunting, but He Hongwen found a herb on the ground.Minglan was amused when she saw it. When the four of them were noisy, they found bandits in front of them, and they hurriedly hid.It turned out that this group of bandits was a big thief in the south. First he wanted to proclaim himself emperor, and then he came back to rebel again, so they broke out into bandits.
Gu Tingye was arranged by General Xie Bingde to dig a hole and bury someone. He suddenly felt that it might be wrong to ask Zhao Ceying for a letter. Because he was a descendant of Taizong, he might not be popular in the army, so he would not be taken seriously.On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Minglan and Pinlan worshiped the moon together, and each took a rabbit lantern to meet a visitor. The visitor was Shulan's mother-in-law. Although Shulan's husband, Sun Zhigao, was a scholar, he had bad conduct and had been pregnant since he was twelve years old.The scholar never made any further progress. Shulan married off with a generous dowry, thinking that she could live a better life in her husband's family. Unexpectedly, the Sun family's mother and son did not like to see Shulan. They took her dowry to live in debauchery and had a group of wives and concubines.Sun's mother was bragging in the hall that her son was a scholar and that he was the prime minister.He mentioned that his nephew and Minglan were a perfect match. When Minglan arrived, he took Minglan's hand and praised her, and immediately decided to settle the marriage between her nephew and Minglan.Everyone in the hall looked disgusted, but Sun's mother didn't care. Pinlan refuted, and Sun's mother retorted and called Pinlan a snobbery. Then she started scolding Shulan, saying that she coaxed her son to have no intention of studying and to hang out. In the end, it was Mr. Sheng whoThe wife just managed to deal with it temporarily because Minglan was still young.
Minglan was writing on the table, and the old lady asked her what she thought of He Hongwen. Minglan said that He Hongwen was gentle and humble. The most valuable thing is that he knows the suffering of women.Old Mrs. Sheng nodded. He Hongwen's father died young when he was young. It was Old Mrs. He who supported half of the family, so he developed He Hongwen's temperament. Old Mrs. Sheng intended to marry Minglan to He Hongwen, and asked Sheng Ming openly and secretly.Ming Lan's thoughts, but Ming Lan still misses Qi Heng and refuses to let go of this relationship.
At night, Gu Tingye and the Shitou patrol found clues. Gu Tingye concluded that the enemy was about to attack, and quickly went to report to Xie Bingde.Xie Bingde was too lazy to pay attention, so Gu Tingye had to ask people to wake up all the fellow villagers and soldiers, saying that this was the general's idea and that he could not care about false military orders. Everyone's lives were most important at the moment.As expected, the rogues then secretly approached the military camp, but Gu Tingye had already led his men to ambush outside. He trapped them with fire and seized the opportunity. After a fight, the rogues fell to the ground one after another. Xie Bingde came out wearing his coat and sawIn this scene, he thought he was about to escape but he won a complete victory. Gu Tingye led the crowd and shouted that the general was wise. Although he gave the military merit to Xie Bingde, he did not want to bear the consequences of falsely passing military orders.
On the day of Sheng Changwu's wedding, grandson's mother wandered around the banquet like a host, and the Sheng family didn't bother to pay attention.Who would have expected that Sun Zhigao drank too much and said that Sheng Changwu didn't take him seriously and started making trouble outside.Sun's mother was very angry when she saw it. She pinched Shulan's arm and asked her if she had made Sun Zhigao unhappy.When Mrs. Sheng saw this, she stood up and stood up for her. She had never seen a scholar be so unreasonable.Xiaotao came to Minglan and said that Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Eldest invited her over to see the wind and waves.
