Chapter 150 A female hero who is as brave as a man
Princess Pingning thought: This girl is too jumpy! Too unruly! She is so shameless to speak wildly in public! Not good! Not good! Then look at Minglan. Although she is lively, she is dignified, generous, polite, and beautiful.
The more I look at her, the more satisfied I am. Qi Heng thought: Isn't Minglan in the palace? Why did Miss Yun say that she met Minglan in Yuzhou, and said that she fell in love with Uncle Gu at first sight, and Uncle Gu came back? What's going on?
Wang Ruofu thought: Don't just stand there, the girl said so much, you guys should respond, aren't you all good at talking!
Changbai: Miss Yun knows Zhong Huai! Zhong Huai? Zhong Huai is back in Bian Jing!
Chang Feng: This girl is really troublesome, but she is a good match for Second Brother Gu. I wonder what my future wife will look like?
Chang Zhang: Sister Yun is amazing! Sister Yun is amazing! Starry eyes!
Old lady? The old lady didn’t think!
Finally, it was the old lady who broke the silence. She smiled and praised: "Miss Yun is really as brave as a man. She is carefree and straightforward. She must have her own destiny. Miss Yun and Minglan also met by fate."
"Miss Yun, come with us to the main hall to rest for a while. You and Ming girl can tell us about your journey!" The old lady was helpless. Her children and grandchildren only listened but not took it to heart. She had to come down personally, ask questions one by one, and guide them in detail.
Entering the main hall, the two of them did not have time to wash up, so they sat down impatiently and told the twists and turns of the journey in detail. Everyone was moved.
Mingxi was heartbroken. When he saw Minglan wearing this outfit before, he thought she was just taking a temporary measure to avoid the rebels, but he never thought she was going to be a heroine. After many twists and turns, the heavy responsibility of delivering the imperial edict finally fell on Minglan's shoulders. It was a thrilling journey, and Minglan must have suffered so much! Mingxi held Minglan tightly in his arms, feeling very emotional: Minglan has grown up, and he is confined to the inner house, and it is difficult to protect her from wind and rain. Fortunately, Minglan has been trained to be so tough that she can protect herself!
Everyone in the Sheng family looked at Minglan, their eyes full of pity, doting and pride. Especially Rulan and Changzhang, their faces were filled with admiration. Their Xiaoliu (sixth sister) was such a heroine who was as brave as any man!
The reaction of the Qi family was even more complicated. Duke Qi praised Minglan's youthful spirit and heroic style, and sighed endlessly. Princess Pingning looked at her daughter-in-law and became more and more satisfied with Minglan. She originally only expected her to be a sensible and well-behaved wife of the clan, but she didn't expect that this daughter-in-law was a heroine who could be loyal to the country, which made Princess Pingning happy.
Qi Heng looked at Minglan with a mixture of heartache, pride, and admiration. He was worried that she had suffered along the way. Although she never complained, the pressure and test of being ordered to do something in a critical situation can be imagined. How many people can remain calm? But she not only did it, but also did it very well. This tenacity and wisdom shocked him deeply. In Qi Heng's eyes, Minglan is more and more like the sun, shining brightly anytime and anywhere. Qi Heng looked at her with admiration. He was proud of her and felt honored.
In the evening, Sheng Hong actually brought Gu Tingye back with him.
Everyone was very happy to meet again after a long separation. Seeing Gu Tingye coming, Yun Jinyan stopped sticking to Minglan and went directly to Gu Tingye's side, with a kind of meaning that Jiao was inseparable from Mengmeng.
"Zhonghuai followed the prince from Yuzhou to rescue the emperor, and he made a great contribution this time. Because he came back in a hurry, he didn't have time to buy a house, so he will live in our house for the next few days." Sheng Hong said to everyone in the Sheng family.
Everyone also knew about the things between Gu Tingye and the Gu family, and no one said much.
When the Sheng Mansion was about to open a banquet, the three people from the Qi family politely said goodbye, saying that they had waited until now to confirm Sheng Hong's safety. Now that they knew that Sheng Hong was safe, it would be inappropriate for them to stay any longer. They had been bothering for a long time, and it was time to go home. While they were being
polite and accepting each other's position, the doorman came to report that Lord Gu had come to visit them in person. The atmosphere froze instantly at this news, and the main hall fell silent for a moment, with everyone looking at Gu Tingye's expression. Gu Tingye's expression was indistinguishable, as he had complicated feelings for Lord Ning Yuan. He longed for his father's love and recognition, but it was difficult for him to let go of the past, and he didn't know how to face the Gu family because of what happened before.
Duke Qi, mindful of his old friendship with Marquis Ningyuan, was the first to break the silence and console Gu Tingye in the manner of an elder: "Why not meet him and give your father a chance to atone for his sins? After all, everyone needs a chance to make amends, and your father is no exception."
Sheng Hong followed closely and echoed: "Marquis Ningyuan still tried to clear your name after you left. He is a kind father.
" The Duke and Sheng Hong only know one side of the story, so they can still stand on the side of Ningyuan Marquis and say a word of comfort for him, but Changbai, Qi Heng and other young people know clearly what Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion did to Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye has suffered so much since he was a child. They know that these pains cannot be easily soothed by words. As friends, they can't say anything to persuade him to forgive.
Gu Tingye hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't make a decision. Yun Jinyan stood beside him, quietly accompanying him. Seeing the helpless look on his face, Yun Jinyan felt distressed.
Yun Jinyan suddenly spoke up and shouted to the doorman, "Please ask Lord Gu to go back. When he thinks it through, he will go to Lord Gu. Please give him some time."
The doorman glanced at Sheng Hong and waited for his instructions. Sheng Hong looked deeply at Gu Tingye, knowing that he could not make a decision today, so he nodded and agreed and asked the doorman to reply.
Lord Gu looked particularly old as he left, his back was a little hunched, as if he was carrying the burden and helplessness of the entire Gu family. It was sad. It seemed that the affairs of the Gu family really exhausted him.
After this, the Qi family no longer mentioned the resignation, and everyone had a dinner at the Sheng family.
Everyone sat together, and since they were all close friends, they spoke without reservation and started talking about court affairs.
The old lady was concerned about family affairs, and first asked Sheng Hong about the reason for his late return: "Master, you came home very late today. Could it be that you were busy dealing with many matters related to the aftermath of the rebellion?"
Sheng Hong sighed lightly and said slowly: "Although the rebels attacked swiftly, they did not invade the six ministries. There were only a few officials on duty today, and we colleagues found a safe place to hide together, and we were all fine. When the news came that the rebellion was quelled, we were relieved. Originally, when it was time to get off duty, we all went back to our homes, but unexpectedly, His Majesty sent a verbal order, ordering us to stay where we are, so we were a little late."
