Comprehensive Film and Television: Starting from An Lingrong, becoming the king of rolls

While Mo Lan was taking housekeeper Ru Lan, Mrs. He came with her grandson He Hongwen.

The old lady called Hualan back under the pretense that she was ill.

As for Mo Lan, when Mrs. He and He Hongwen arrived, she went directly back to her yard, Songyingzhai.

She chose the name herself and asked Sheng Hong to put up the plaque.

In fact, if there were no cousin Cao, He Hongwen would be more suitable for Minglan.

But the old lady didn't adopt Minglan, so she naturally wouldn't think about marriage matters for her. After all, she didn't have deep feelings.

According to the rules, the matron should actually make the decision on the marriage of girls in the family.

Since the old lady doesn't have this intention, there will be no engagement between He Hongwen and Minglan.

Without the engagement, Gu Tingye would not have gone to great lengths to get Cousin Cao to He Hongwen.

Thinking about He Hongwen's gentle temperament, he should find a like-minded wife and spend his life peacefully.

As for Minglan... I don't know what will happen to her and her young father-in-law.

Mo Lan thought as she opened the account book.

When she saw the crooked handwriting on the account book entrusted to Ru Lan, she frowned.

"Go and invite the fifth girl."

This Rulan, she really wants to be taught a lesson.

Ru Lan has a silly and sweet temperament, very much like the eldest lady, but she is kinder than the eldest lady.

After all, in the original drama, the eldest lady poisoned the old lady at the instigation of Aunt Kang, but Ru Lan never had any bad intentions from beginning to end.

Even when the personal maid was being beaten, she tried her best to protect her from being beaten to death.

This alone is much better than Qi Heng, who was helpless and helpless to watch being beaten to death!

The only thing Ru Lan did wrong was to have a secret meeting with her foreign boyfriend.

So it can still be saved.

After all, it was Mo Lan who watched him grow up.

Ru Lan was invited over, sat down next to Mo Lan, and asked with a smile: "Fourth sister, what do you want from me?"

Mo Lan spread the account book in front of her and said calmly, "Is this the account book you kept?"

The moment Rulan saw the account book, her face fell.

"Fourth sister, please forgive me! This account book is too difficult! Why is the housekeeper so strenuous?"

Mo Lan nodded her forehead and thought she was too salty: "Housekeeping is something every lady must learn. If you don't learn it, what will you do when you get married? Don't you want servants to help you manage the house?"

She has done two missions, this is the third time, and it is the first time she has met someone who shows off salted fish like Ru Lan!

As the Juan King, Mo Lan didn't understand Ru Lan's salty mentality. Won't you get bored if you play around every day?

Whenever she has some free time, she feels like her bones are getting sluggish.

Rulan waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "I don't want to marry a noble family. It would be nice to find an ordinary family."

What’s so difficult about being a housekeeper in an ordinary family’s home?

Mo Lan looked her up and down, making her hair stand on end: "Fourth sister, you...why are you looking at me like this?"

"Oh... I'm just curious as to who gave you this strange idea."

Ru Lan pursed her lips and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Eldest sister is so powerful, she even shed tears when she was bullied in Earl Zhongqin's Mansion. With my temper, how can I possibly cope with it?"

So it turns out this has left a psychological shadow?

Mo Lan thought for a while and asked curiously: "Then even if you don't marry high, you can choose a well-matched family. Why do you have to marry low?"

Ru Lan replied with a smile: "Then if it's an ordinary family, it would be best to be under dad, wouldn't it be easier to handle?"

Mo Lan looked at her with difficulty, thinking in her heart: You are such a silly and sweet-minded person who got picked on when you married low, and was made things difficult by your mother-in-law, and you still want to take advantage of others?

"Do you remember Uncle Youyang Shengwei's daughter, Sister Shulan?"

Ru Lan nodded: "Remember, she got married a few years ago. It is said that the couple are harmonious and their relationship is very good."

Mo Lan said quietly: "Then do you know that she once visited a family and what the scene was like?"

As she said that, she told the story about Sun Xiucai, and said: "Such a poor family just got a scholar, and they didn't know how great the world was. They tried to deceive Sister Shulan, get her dowry, and humiliate her. Fortunately, Sister Shulan is smart and can see through his true colors. Otherwise, if you really marry him, you will be soaked in coptis water."

Ru Lan was stunned when she heard this: "This, can there be people with such evil intentions in this world?!"

She has a simple temper and has been extremely protected by her eldest lady since she was a child. The biggest injustice he suffered was just a quarrel with the original owner before Mo Lan came over.

Where have you ever seen such a thing?

"There are so many men in this world who want to take advantage of them. Do you really think that if you marry young, you will be cherished by the other party? Just like Sun Xiucai's mother, in her eyes, her son would only marry a princess. Just barely.

If Sister Shulan unfortunately gets married, she will not think that Sister Shulan is gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable and sensible, but will only think that her son is capable. Otherwise, why would Sister Shulan marry her son instead of marrying someone else? "

Ru Lan was stunned and felt incredible.

What kind of virtue is Sun Xiucai? Does his mother have no self-awareness at all?

Mo Lan saw her shocked look and handed over the tea cup in her hand.

Rulanmu took it blankly.

Before she could take a sip of tea, she heard Mo Lan say calmly: "The tea cup in your hand is just the most common utensil in our house. It sells for one tael of silver outside. You know that in ordinary people's homes, one tael of silver can make a living." How long?"

Ru Lan was stunned and asked tentatively: "Three days?"

It can't be longer, right? What can one tael of silver do? Even Yu Yanjiao’s moisturizing cream can only be purchased at the cheapest price.

Mo Lan sneered and called Yun Zai over: "Tell me, Miss Five, what can you do with one tael of silver?"

"Five girls." Yunzai said softly: "Outside, polished rice costs 70 cents per bucket, ordinary rice costs 65 cents, aged rice costs 55 or 57 cents. Pork costs 30 cents per pound, and mutton costs 30 cents. Five cents per catty. Beef shall not exceed twenty cents per catty, and biscuits shall be two cents each."

When she said this, she stopped talking.

Ru Lan's eyes opened wider the more she listened.

A bushel of polished rice costs only seventy cents? Wouldn’t that be enough to feed one person for half a month?

Mo Lan added: "Dad's salary is forty-five taels a month, but he has to support our whole family. If it weren't for uncle Sheng Wei's strong support, how could our family be so comfortable and afford such a living?" How many female servants are there to serve your mother-in-law? How much are the monthly wages for the female servants in your house?"

"If you married into an ordinary family, let's not talk about whether you can still maintain your current expenses. Even the things you use every day, others can't afford them. Do you even have to buy tea utensils yourself?"

"I...I can find someone from a good family!"

Ru Lan was a little unconvinced.

"If your family is well off, your expenses will naturally be high, so don't you want to learn to be a housekeeper?"

Mo Lan asked back, making her choked and speechless.

Rulan rubbed her face with a frown: "Fourth sister, I understand. I'm learning so hard that I won't be lazy anymore!"

It seemed that no matter what, she couldn't escape.

But Ru Lan understood a truth.

It's okay to marry low, but you can't marry a poor person, otherwise you have to bring your own tea utensils, which is terrible!
