The past that cannot be returned is the ancient times filled with memories. I imagined that there was a meandering river, weeping willows, and peach blossoms. It was so beautiful that it couldn't be imagined. The retreat of the setting sun is the lasting glory. There is no sadness, not even worry. The happiness continues there, and the brightness remains the same.

But the world is ultimately contrary to mine. In ancient times, under the feudal patriarchal system, monogamy and multiple concubines were practiced. There is no limit on the number of people for other services such as common rooms. The daughter born to the first wife is the legitimate daughter. Children born to other than the main wife's side chamber, side chamber, or concubine are called concubines. And Sheng Minglan is such an inconspicuous concubine of the Sheng family, and there is nothing wrong with being humble.

Fortunately, the dark clouds will not block all the sunshine. The shimmer in the cracks can also sparkle. As the saying goes: A single spark can start a prairie fire. Because she met Mrs. Sheng, the foundation of this big family and her only sweetness in this strange world. Under the protection of Mrs. Sheng, Minglan grew up healthily and became more and more dazzling.

In recent days, because of Changbai's marriage, Sheng Hong said with a smile: "The elder wrote a letter saying that this wedding must be attended by Sheng for a banquet. If he doesn't go, he will come to invite me in person. Yesterday I After discussing with the old man, we will set off for Youyang at the end of the month. I have official business and cannot go. My term as magistrate will expire at the end of October. Changbai will go to the capital to tidy up his residence in the near future. Changfeng will prepare for the Qiu Wei exam. Changdong She is still young, Minglan will grow old with her, Mo'er, Ru'er, are you willing to go?"

As parents of older men and women, the potential of planning a marriage is unlimited, Sheng Weihe The Kang family hurriedly prepared everything, and the wedding was scheduled for the end of September in the crisp autumn, so that the new daughter-in-law could go to the ancestral hall at the end of the year to offer New Year's Incense to her ancestors. Sheng Hong got the letter, so he went to the Yamen later that morning to bring his children together. Get together and talk.

Rulan silently turned her head and glanced at Minglan. In fact, Minglan was also very surprised. She originally thought that based on Sheng Lao's always cold and tiresome personality, Minglan thought that she would definitely not do it this time. I would go, and I was thinking of helping to find an excuse, but I didn't expect that this time Mr. Sheng agreed. Now it was Minglan's turn to be confused.

Minglan is willing to go out to play, because she has never been out since she came to ancient times. But when he thought of riding a carriage again, he said with a sad face: "Dad, you said the opposite. I am the only one who gets dizzy when seeing a carriage. It would be nice if you don't look at me too tiredly. How about I walk?" Sheng Hong looked at Minglan's sad face and thought it was funny, so he said with a straight face: "With your short legs, you can only catch up with the Full Moon Wine if you run out!" Taking advantage of the atmosphere in the room to relax, everyone laughed. When she got up, Minglan was even more worried: "How about I don't go too?" Sheng Hong looked at Minglan's fair and beautiful little face, liked it in his heart, and said: "Go! Take this opportunity to meet your relatives at home, and then go There are incense sticks in the ancestral temple. If your brothers and sisters have any gifts to send, you can bring them with them. "Although Minglan doesn't want to go, her father's instructions are here. Even if she is reluctant, she still has to go. .

Actually, maybe it’s not just Minglan, I don’t understand either. In her later years, Mrs. Sheng had no desires and desires, was cold and world-weary, so why did she have to go back? And you have to take Minglan with you. But if you think about it carefully, if there is anything else that deserves attention for Mrs. Sheng, it must be Minglan.

I am like a bright orchid, confused and unclear. It wasn't until I came to Youyang and met him that I suddenly understood. He was a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, with a fair face, slender eyebrows and handsome eyes. He was not as beautiful as Qi Heng, but he had a strong bookish air, and his behavior was dignified and steady. The He family had an aura of wealth, but he only wore a plain clothes. She was wearing a fine satin straight dress, with no accessories on her body except for a jade pendant tied with a Ruyi sash around her waist. This was Minglan's first impression of him.

It turns out that Mrs. Sheng’s good intentions were finally understood by me. For that distant era, marriage matters were usually "the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers." For the unpopular concubine Minglan, it was difficult for her marriage to be taken seriously. Without a mother, her grandmother started her own 'plan' early.

However, I always feel that the He Hongwen in front of me does not really like Minglan.

Minglan's love should be as bright as Qi Heng's. Otherwise, I would never have seen He Hongwen again. The first time I saw him, I thought of Qi Heng, that beautiful young man who amazed time. If you weren't in the Sheng family? What if she is not a concubine? What if you weren't born in that era?

I remembered that a few months later, when I returned to the capital to reunite with Sheng Hong’s family, someone once asked Minglan what kind of person He Hongwen was. Minglan thought for a long time and answered: Good person. Presumably, it's because you don't have a big feeling that you will issue a good guy card. But when you capture the details of two people together, you will also taste the sweetness. It is the green beauty of the first love, and the sweetness of careful touch.

I remember that He Hongwen's melancholy enveloped the autumn colors like a gauze, slowly fading away. The young man's words were gentle and his eyes were warm, just like the last ray of light golden sunshine slowly creeping up Minglan's face in the late autumn when the coolness begins, making Minglan's face feel a little hot.

Think about the person that Mrs. Sheng likes, how could it be wrong? So how bad? The He family belongs to a famous family. The old man of the He family founded Baishitan Academy and became the first scholar in the world. He has been a leader for decades. Although his descendants are not as prosperous as their ancestors, they are still rich and powerful. Mrs. He married into the He family. On a side note, her third son died young, leaving only one son, He Hongwen, who was favored by his grandparents. With a simple family background and a wealthy family, it will definitely be a good destination.

Mrs. Sheng’s sincerity and painstaking efforts moved me and infected me. Minglan is happy and lucky. She deserves a grandmother who is dedicated to her.

I deeply hope that everything can be happy. I hope the autumn wind will bring your wishes! I remember that this was a sentence written by Li Qingzhao. She used her wisdom and talent to describe the leisurely and free life of an ancient aristocratic woman. I like this kind of life very much, very comfortable and lazy. I hope Minglan can be the same.
