Comprehensive film and television praying for life

"During the examination period, the courtyard will be locked for three days, and no one else will be allowed to enter or leave. No pedestrians will be allowed to stay within a hundred steps of the gate of the Gongyuan!"

Candidates all entered the tribute courtyard, the gate was closed, and a row of guards with swords stood at the gate, looking very serious.

"Ming Lan, let's go, I'll pick them up in three days." Xu Nian took Ming Lan's hand, and the two got into Xu Nian's carriage.

For this reason, Xu Nian went out of his way to talk to the eldest lady of the Sheng family, asking Minglan to help her embroider a fan.If only Ming Lan was invited to play in Duan Wang's Mansion, but Ru Lan was not invited, what would the eldest lady of the Sheng family make up?

After visiting my grandmother, the two came to Xu Nian's courtyard, and the maids left after serving refreshments.

"Listen to the rain, get some refreshments, and take Danju to play in the garden. You don't need to wait here."

"Thank you girl!"

"They're all gone, and we're the only ones left." As soon as the maid left, Xu Nian immediately lay down on the soft couch without a proper attitude, and even pulled Ming Lan to lie down with her.

"Hey, what should I do if my clothes and hair get messed up later?" Ming Lan was not as strong as Xu Nian, so she was pulled to lie down.

A girl who has not left the cabinet, if she goes home with disheveled clothes, she will inevitably receive bad rumors, and in this ancient era with strict rules, rumors can kill people.

"It's okay, I'll let Tingyu iron the clothes for you soon, just relax, it's okay." Xu Nian's voice was full of laziness, and Ming Lan felt inexplicably relaxed when she heard it. She lay beside Xu Nian , Two people sleep on a soft pillow.

They looked at each other, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This was the first time Ming Lan had grown up and lay down in broad daylight, and it was really a novel experience.

Girls always gossip about each other's feelings when they are together.

Xu Nian was the first to ask, "Minglan, do you like my second brother?"

"What nonsense?" Ming Lan glared at Xu Nian, but did not deny it.

"Anyway, I know that my second brother likes you very much. He also said that after this imperial examination, he will..." At this point, Xu Nian suddenly covered his mouth and stopped continuing.

"You're not shy, how can you say that you like it? Didn't you say that Princess Lao Duan invited you to educate you with the most powerful nuns in the palace? Why didn't she teach you well?" Ming Lan joked In the end, he still couldn't hold back, and asked with red cheeks: "You haven't said what you want yet?"

"Rules are for outsiders to observe. For our own people, there are so many rules." Xu Nian said indifferently, "As for my second brother who said that after the imperial examination, you have to..."

Xu Nian deliberately elongated the tone and hung Minglan, seeing her looking at him earnestly, said with a smile, "I won't tell you!"

"Yao'er!" Minglan got up and began to squeak, and the two rolled into a ball on the soft couch laughing.

"Good Minglan, I said I said, stop squeaking, hahaha..." It turns out that she is so ticklish, and it was the first day Xu Nian knew it. Tears came out from laughing, and she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. If Qi Heng saw this appearance, he probably wouldn't need to stay in the bed, and could directly enter the bridal chamber.

"My second brother won't let me tell. I can only tell you that it's a surprise."

Ming Lan straightened the hair that fell from her temples, and lay down again, "Is he going to my house to propose marriage?"

Xu Nian was really surprised this time, "How did you guess that?" She didn't say anything.

Ming Lan lay face up quietly, "If you like someone, your eyes can't deceive you. When he looked at me before entering the examination room today, I had such a bold idea in my heart. But, how is it possible? "

"Why is it impossible? My second brother is planning to wait for this high school, so he will ask a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage. The matchmaker has been found, and she is my aunt." Now that Minglan has guessed it, Xu Nian has nothing to hide that's it.

Xu Nian ruthlessly cast aside her second brother in her heart: How could his second brother's husky handle such a high-end surprise thing well!She really thinks so highly of him.

"I'm just a concubine of a fifth-rank official family. My mother died early and I'm not favored at home. He's the son of the Hou family. Is that possible?" Ming Lan murmured in a low voice.

"How is that impossible? Our Shen family doesn't value family status, but character." Xu Nian comforted Ming Lan while holding hands, "Actually, I'm quite surprised that you like my second brother, as you know, He has a carefree personality, with a bit of childish innocence, he thinks about fighting the sword every day, but he has a sincere heart, and if he takes care of it, he will spend his whole life."

Minglan listened to Xu Nian's words, the corners of her lips raised unconsciously, and she turned to look at her, "Did you say that about your brother?"

"Ha, before she became my second sister-in-law, she started protecting me and my second brother." Xu Nian also teased her with a smile.

The two of them spent the whole afternoon lying on the couch. Xu Nian finally told Ming Lan and the others about the family motto of the Shen family, "Our Shen family has been passed down for four generations, and my second brother's generation is not the only one. Word: A man in a normal family can take a concubine only when he is [-] and has no children. The sons of our Shen family are all single-minded and good men, and all of them are monogamous. The eldest brother is, and my second brother must be too!"

After Minglan returned home, she told the old lady Sheng about this, and the old lady happily embraced Minglan in her arms, with tears in her eyes, and patted her on the back, "God has eyes, my Ming girl I finally have a good home, and even if grandma goes right away, she can feel at ease."

"Grandmother, what are you talking about? You will live a long life, take good care of your granddaughter, and don't let anyone bully you." Minglan said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, grandma, please take care of me, and see that our girl Ming is living a happy, safe and smooth life."

On the day when the rankings were released, seeing Shen Yujun ranked second and Qi Heng ranked third, and Sheng Changbai from the Sheng family also passed the exam, everyone was very happy.

Some are happy and some are sad, Sheng Changfeng and Gu Tingye are not in the list.

"Yao'er, I've won, I've won! Thank you!" Qi Heng moved closer to Xu Nian, looking at her earnestly, with smiles in his eyes.

"Congratulations, Brother Yuan Ruo!" Xu Nian said happily, her smile was so bright, just like the sunshine in this bright spring day.

Shen Yujun also came to Minglan's side. Although he was two years younger than Minglan, he was a head taller than Minglan. Standing together, Minglan looked very petite, "Minglan, I will go to your house to propose marriage tomorrow. I don’t want to wait any longer.”

Minglan looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so she smiled sweetly at Shen Yujun, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

"You agreed? You agreed?" Shen Yujun was so happy that it made him happier than he was in the list. He hurried to Xu Nian and said excitedly to Xu Nian, "She agreed, cat , she agreed! Did you hear that?"

"Second brother, calm down! Your Minglan is going back home with her aunt." Xu Nian was also very happy for the two of them. Minglan had suffered so much before, and the rest of her life was finally going well.

Shen Yujun wanted to go forward, but was held back by Xu Nian, "Second brother, in public, you should pay attention to influence, it doesn't matter to you, but what about Minglan?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I want to pay attention to the influence, pay attention to the influence." He raised his eyes to look at Minglan, she was about to get into the carriage, Shen Yujun looked at her, showing a bright smile.

This smile is enough to surprise the time.

Xu Nian and Shen Yujun are twins, their appearances are [-]% similar, Shen Yujun's facial features are tougher, which shows how handsome he is, and he is dressed in a water-blue robe with large sleeves, which makes him look a little fairy The air is fluttering.

Minglan lowered her head and got into the carriage with blushing cheeks, but her shy appearance was deeply imprinted in Shen Yujun's heart and became a good memory in his life.

The matter of Shen Yujun going to the Sheng family to propose a marriage went very smoothly. Although the eldest aunt has a gentle personality, she is also a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, so their marriage was settled so smoothly.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the weeping willows by the lake have grown new green. Qi Heng has already gone to work in the court every day. He is now a sixth-rank privy secretary, which is equivalent to the combination of the organization and discipline inspection departments under the State Council.

As for Shen Yujun, he went to take the martial arts exam again. He was both civil and military, and he was in the limelight for a while. Because of Shen's father, he is now a servant by the emperor's side.

Ever since Minglan and Shen Yujun got engaged, Xu Nian often asked her to come to Zhenyuanhou Mansion. After all, this is where Minglan will live in the future. After getting married, she and Shen Yujun will definitely live in Zhenyuanhou Mansion.

The two sat in the octagonal pavilion by the lake, the stone benches were covered with soft cushions, and fruits and snacks were placed on the table. They listened to the rain and made tea before retreating.

Everyone around Xu Nian knew that she didn't like a group of people always surrounding her, so she left two servant girls standing ten meters away to serve as servants, and the rest of the people could do other things.

"Minglan, have you heard?" Xu Nian poured Minglan a cup of hot tea, and pushed a plate of Dongpo crisps in her direction.

"What?" Ming Lan said as she picked up a piece of snack and ate it in small bites.

"Although it's cold recently, Mrs. Wu from Yongchang Bo's Mansion is having a polo meeting by Mingchi outside Xinzheng Gate. At this time, all the officials and ladies from the noble families near Longmen Gate and Changhe Gate have passed by. The venue is surrounded by felts. , where you can run horses and hit balls, and the goal is lowered by half, which is very fresh and interesting, Mrs. Wu also said that she will use precious jewelry as a lottery, are you going to play?" Xu Nian also picked up a piece of chestnut cake and ate it.

"Okay! I haven't been to the left and right. Eldest sister went back to the mansion yesterday and said this on purpose. For this reason, the eldest lady was upset. She said such a good thing, but closed the door. Okay, why bother to bring me and Fourth Sister with me. The eldest lady treats me well, and Fourth Sister she can't get used to, doesn't want Lin Xiaoniang's daughter to follow suit." Ever since she got engaged to Shen Yujun, Ming Lan's temperament has indeed become lively. Less, but also a lot bolder. In the past, she would not complain about anyone, and she had to bear it silently.

This is good, the whole person is more lively.

"Then let's go together! I received the invitation a few days ago, but my second brother probably won't be able to go. He is now a servant at the official's side, but it's not easy to ask for leave." Xu Nian explained to Minglan.

"It's okay, business is important." Minglan is really not angry at all. This guy Shen Yujun really has a way of falling in love. When he saw something delicious and interesting on the road, he immediately listened to the words and sent it to Minglan. When I go out of the city, I can pick wild flowers and give them to Minglan.Looking at her sweet smile, you can tell that the two get along very well.
