Chapter 278 What story is this? I can't understand it even though I know how to read
Therefore, Xie had driven Prime Minister Lan away for many days. At first, she would find excuses, but later she would just close the door and tell him to get out.
Prime Minister Lan complained to his concubine with a dark face.
He threatened that he was not willing to go yet.
Then he unilaterally started a cold war with Xie, waiting for Xie to come over and admit his mistake.
Xie was so happy that she finally had a quiet environment to write.
Even the extremely insensitive Aunt Ding could sense the disharmony in their relationship, so she went to the house to ask Xie about what had happened.
I wanted to hear some gossip and thank the other party for finding a good marriage for Lan Qing.
She had inquired about the other party privately. He was a country bumpkin. His parents died early, and he went to the battlefield and worked hard to build a career.
He has a clean family background, is an orphan, and most importantly, has no concubines.
Qing'er will be the mistress of the house after she gets married, and she won't have any difficult family relationships. The daughter she gave birth to is just like her, a little stupid and a little stagnant. If she marries someone with complicated family relationships, who knows how she'll be bullied.
Apart from being a bit rude, he has no other shortcomings.
Aunt Ding said a lot of nice words to express her gratitude to Mrs. Xie. She had someone write them down and memorized them overnight.
It's not that she is not sincere, but she is really uneducated and has no knowledge. Asking someone to write it down and memorize it is her greatest sincerity.
After Aunt Ding finished her words, she immediately began to ask insinuations, "I heard that the Madam had a conflict with the Master a few days ago. What happened? Tell me, maybe I can help."
Xie said casually, "I am not feeling well and cannot serve you, Master."
Aunt Ding held her handkerchief, a little confused, "Is it okay to say you're not feeling well?"
Xie knew what Aunt Ding was thinking at a glance, as her thoughts were always revealed on her face.
He was just thinking about how to get rid of Prime Minister Lan.
Prime Minister Lan was very fair and never neglected any of his wives and concubines. The days he visited their rooms were basically fixed every month.
But because Xie had rejected him these days, Prime Minister Lan had been staying in the rooms of Aunt Ding and Aunt Liu more often, mainly to complain about Xie to these two people.
It was fine for one or two days, but Aunt Ding couldn't stand it anymore because the visits came too frequently.
Prime Minister Lan snores and grinds his teeth at night when he sleeps, making a loud noise. She can never sleep well when he comes.
In recent days, her skin has deteriorated visibly and she has dark circles under her eyes.
She planned to follow the lady's method.
Aunt Ding glanced casually, not knowing what she saw. The next second she said in surprise, "Hey, haven't you been sleeping well these days? Why are there dark circles under your eyes?"
Lan Yunyu yawned and looked at Lan Zhile. They looked at each other in silence, and they knew what the other had done without having to guess.
She slumped in the chair, looking completely awful. If it had been in the past, Xie would have told her off long ago, but Xie had ignored her for many days.
Lan Zhile turned the transparent glass in his hand, pretending to be busy, and blinked his eyes.
Said: "Auntie Ding, what are you talking about? I can't hear you clearly."
Her eyesight is not very good, and her hearing is sometimes not very good either.
Aunt Ding understood, and she quickly changed the subject, then continued: "I heard that a story has become popular in the capital recently. I heard that it was written by a monster."
Lan Yunyu was about to speak.
Aunt Ding covered her mouth and laughed, "It must be another gimmick spread by someone, just to promote the storybook. Which fool would believe it?"
Lan Yunyu shut up.
Aunt Ding shook her handkerchief and said, "You shouldn't read too many of these books. They are all meant to fool young girls. They are all made up in a fancy way, but in fact they are just men's daydreams."
As she spoke, she pushed Lan Qing who was beside her, "Qing'er, you are not allowed to read this kind of storybook. If you want to read, read some good books. I am not smart to begin with, and if I read those books, I might become even dumber."
"What if it rains in the future and I don't know how to run home?"
Lan Qing: ...
The corners of her mouth twitched.
Lan Zhile was always outspoken and said directly: "Aunt, that storybook is different from other storybooks. If you think you are not smart, you may become smarter if you read it more."
Aunt Ding said seriously, "What's the difference? Aren't they all written by men? What good things can those men have in their heads? It's fine if they just daydream by themselves, but they write it down as a story for everyone to read."
She commented: "Shameless."
Lan Zhile said: "You will know once you read it. Don't you always say that you are not smart? Who knows, maybe you still don't understand it."
Aunt Ding said, "I don't understand what the story is. As long as you know how to read, there is no reason why you can't understand it."
She raised her head and said that when she first entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, she could not read a single word. Prime Minister Lan thought it was inappropriate for her to be illiterate, so he found someone to teach her.
Aunt Ding studied while crying. If she had known that becoming a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion would require hard study, she would have turned around and ran away long ago.
The next second, Lan Yunyu took out a book from her bosom and handed it to Aunt Ding, "Please read it."
Lan Qing asked Lan Zhile in a low voice, "Won't her mother punish her for taking it out so openly?"
Mrs. Xie forbad Lan Yunyu to read storybooks, so she read them secretly.
Lan Zhile glanced in the direction of Mrs. Xie and whispered back, "Can you help me see what expression my mother has? I can't see it."
Lan Qing: "...no expression, mother looks very tired."
Then she asked, "Have you and Fourth Sister read this storybook?"
Lan Zhile nodded and asked, "Do you want to see it?"
Lan Qing shook her head. She was not interested in the dialogue book.
Lan Zhile doesn't push it either.
After a while, Lan Qing came over again and said, "Why don't you give me a copy? I don't really want to be isolated by you guys."
Lan Zhile: “…”
Aunt Ding took the storybook with a look of disdain and started complaining about the cover of the novel.
"The rebirth of a legitimate daughter? What does it mean to give birth to another legitimate daughter? What does this name mean? Can't I look at a concubine's daughter?"
She pulled Lan Qing aside and said, "Go and read it. This author will be pissed off to death."
"..." No need to.
She opened the first page and read it word by word. It was fine at first, but after about ten pages, she stayed on that page for a very long time and kept turning back to read it.
Based on Lan Yunyu's experience of watching it several times, that part should be about the heroine's counterattack and explain the heroine's entire plan.
Judging from Aunt Ding's expression, she probably didn't understand the conspiracy and various reversals.
When she first watched this passage, she had to watch it two or three times before she could understand it clearly.
After fully understanding it, I was amazed at the cleverness of the protagonist and the cleverness of the author who designed this game.
As a reader who looks at the overall situation, it is easy for her to be confused.
Aunt Ding's expression has gradually become dreamy, and it feels like she needs a complete annotated book to understand it.
