In the original work, Changbai and Qi Heng are both the same window and close friends! Chang Bai did not like to get acquainted with the children of Lord Quan in his heart, Qi Heng was an accident, the two were not only lifelong friends, Chang Bai also helped Qi Heng pursue Minglan, and even secretly arranged for the two to meet.
The seven brothers and sisters of the Sheng family, Changbai's feelings for Minglan are more like brothers and sisters, usually take more care of Minglan, and when they encounter problems, they are more protective of Minglan, especially when Qi Heng sends Minglan gifts, Changbai's credit is the greatest!
01 Help Qi Heng send Dafu dolls to Minglan
Qi Heng was once a student of Mr. Zhuang, although Mr. Zhuang did not look up to the children of the powerful, but especially liked Qi Heng, Mr. Zhuang was hired by the Sheng family, Qi Heng learned that he immediately went to the Sheng family to visit Mr. Zhuang.
Qi Heng decided to study at the Sheng family's private school, and the lord of Pingning County personally came to the door to thank him, and asked the daughters of the Sheng family not to study with Mr. Zhuang. The purpose is to let the daughter of the Sheng family not get close to Qi Heng, and the lord of Pingning County can't look at the Lintel of the Sheng family!
This didn't matter to Minglan, Mo Lan and Ru Lan were sad, especially Mo Lan, she could no longer wrap her arms around Qi Heng in a bright way!
But Qi Hengdu likes to tease Minglan, and after he has eaten a few meals in the courtyard of Mrs. Sheng, he likes to tease Minglan even more, and always wants to send gifts to Minglan! Minglan is worried that the sisters will find trouble for her, and all kinds of excuses to shirk!
So there was such a scene: But what Fan Minglan wanted, he was relieved in front of Changbai, and Qi Heng would send it under various excuses!
This time Qi Heng returned to Dengzhou from the capital with his parents, so he asked Xiao Wei to give a gift, Minglan refused, qi Heng could not come to the door to pinch Minglan's ears, and it was very uncomfortable to hold his breath, so he found a good friend of Changbai to say something.
Just as Minglan went to find Changbai to deliver something, Changbai looked at her and asked, "Sixth sister, a few days ago, Brother Qi returned to Dengzhou to go to school, and I heard that he asked someone to send something to you, but you stopped him outside?" ”
Minglan cleared his throat and said, "There are clouds in the Book of Rites, men and women are seven years old, and our sisters are getting older, so we should avoid suspicion and not accept foreign men's things at will." ”
Chang Bai persuaded: "That pair of Wuxi Da'afu came from the south, and it is not worth much." ”
Minglan shook his head: "Neither sister has any, there is no reason why I have one." Then the principle of men and women being intimately extended a bit. Chang Bai remembered Qi Heng's complaints and requests for her, and said, "That pair of Big Ah Fu looks very similar to his sister." After a pause, he added: "There are also swirls in the corners of the mouth." ”
Minglan continued to shake his head: "Brother think about it for me, turn around and let the fourth sister and the fifth sister know, what should I do?" The brother and the brother of the Qi family read together, and talked to him about the truth. ”
Chang Bai looked at Minglan quietly for a while, only to see her eyebrows and lips, bright teeth and bright eyes, and there seemed to be a pity in her eyes, and she groaned for a while, and nodded slowly: "Yuan Ruo has no brothers and sisters since childhood, and it is also pleasing to look at her sister, but now I should avoid suspicion, I will go and talk to him." ”
Minglan smiled and thanked her and left, Changbai looked at her slender back, and suddenly had a thought: If Minglan and himself were born as a cell, then it would be fine.
Did Chang Bai really not understand Qi Heng's heart for Minglan? It is precisely because Changbai understands that he will secretly help Qi Heng to send gifts to Minglan.
Chang Bai actually hopes that Qi Heng and Minglan can be together, but unfortunately, family lineage and identity are the biggest gap between the two. Therefore, Changbai would secretly hope that Minglan would come out with him.
To say that the Sheng family is good to Minglan, except for the old lady Sheng is Changbai, it is a pity that many things cannot be forced!
02 Remind Qi Heng
Qi Heng and Chang Bai participated in the scientific expedition together, and after the scientific expedition, Qi Heng pulled Chang Bai to gather with several friends, and inadvertently talked about marriage during the banquet.
One of them had already negotiated, and it was said that the other party was a person of high moral character, and it happened that the man himself had wrapped up a play.
Therefore, Chang Bai persuaded: "Since I came to marry a wife and marry a sage, I often heard Yuan Ruo mention Brother Tai, and I know that Brother Tai is a person with great ambitions, so I have to think carefully, and the back house is restless, but it is a big taboo." ”
Qi Heng saw his friend's entangled look and retorted, "This is not necessarily true, if I wait for myself to fight for myself and can make a future, I may not be able to stay with my beloved woman!" ”
Chang Bai looked at Qi Heng quietly: "The legislation is strict, only hope that the beloved woman, do not have to lay a good future for the lover." ”
Chang Bai's words were to remind Qi Heng not to easily say his beloved woman before he did not have enough ability, otherwise it would only cause irreparable harm to the woman.
Chang Bai knew that Qi Heng had feelings for Minglan, but Chang Bai understood even more that the lord of Pingning County did not look up to the Sheng family, the lord of Pingning County was high-spirited, although Qi Heng's father was born in the Duke of Qi, he was the second son, according to the rules, the old Duke and his wife were gone, and the big house naturally took over the Duke of Qi!
Qi Heng can only rely on his own ability to fight, and the unwilling Lord of Pingning County can only start in terms of finding a daughter-in-law, and the best way is to find a high gate to help Qi Heng.
Chang Bai could see clearly, and Minglan could see it even more. The brothers and sisters were unexpectedly in agreement!
Just like Gu Tingye said to Minglan, "Earlier, I heard that Qi Heng and the county lord had quarreled many times over the marriage. ”
"So what?" Minglan asked rhetorically, "When I was in Dengzhou, the old lady took me to the countryside to escape the summer, I have seen the cage used to sink the pond, and I have seen the woman who was locked up in the ancestral hall of the clan. If Qi Heng really has the ability, don't make me afraid and marry me obediently. If not, he will not be able to make a fuss about it, and a 'private grant' will be able to kill me! ”
As sober as Minglan in the human world, he would ask Qi Heng not to mention it again, let alone let anyone know when facing Qi Heng's confession!
Changbai is even more sober, so Changbai reminds Qi Heng not to speak easily, instead of saying big words here, it is better to take action, real action!
Not sweet words, but real actions, let the lord of Binh Ninh see his determination, see that he can work hard for the beloved woman, so that he can meet the requirements of his parents, but also marry the beloved woman, why not! Qi Heng's performance can only be said to be regrettable.
I once read a sentence: "Some people only do two things in their lives, disobey, and strive, so they are getting better and better." There are also people who only do two things in a lifetime, wait, regret, so the more mixed the worse. ”
Whether it is feelings or what, we all hope to be able to get the consummation, but often it backfires, so why not give it a go, at least do not leave regrets for yourself!
Qi Heng did not dare to give it a go, nor did he dare to disobey his parents, just like an angry sandwich biscuit, he could only helplessly watch his beloved girl marry someone else! Regret day after day!
In 2003, the elderly Qi Heng asked to marry Sheng Xiaoliu, and Changbai fulfilled his wish
When the elderly Qi Heng returned to the capital to visit Changbai, he saw Sheng Xiaoliu, who resembled Minglan, and even hired Sheng Xiaoliu as a granddaughter-in-law to Changbai.
Chang Bai knew that Qi Heng was still worried about Minglan in his heart, or refused, and the reason given by Chang Bai was: "What if the girl is not good enough to mistake the family of her best friend." ”
So in the following years, Changbai had been secretly observing Sheng Xiaoliu's character until he was sure that she was mellow in nature, and only then did he agree to this family affair!
To say that Changbai can still see people's hearts, Changbai knows that Minglan is a heart knot of Qi Heng, but because of this heart knot, seeing a child who resembles Minglan, he casually agrees to this family affair, after all, Sheng Xiaoliu is the granddaughter of Changbai Shu.
Such an identity is married to Qi Heng's second-room grandson, that is Gao Pan, not to mention that the second room still has only such a child, if Changbai is really greedy for wealth, he may immediately agree.
In fact, Changbai was a person who obeyed the law of etiquette, and with the attitude of being responsible for his best friend, he was stunned to observe his granddaughter for several years before he relaxed his consent.
Changbai can be called Qi Heng's true best friend, when he was young and ignorant, Changbai helped Qi Heng pursue happiness; when his career was small, Changbai warned Qi Heng to be cautious in the face of feelings; when he was old, Changbai was willing to fulfill the regrets in the hearts of his best friends, and only hoped that his close friends could resolve the regrets.
Speaking of Changbai is the most transparent person, he knows Qi Heng's thoughts about Minglan, when Rulan got married, Qi Heng went to the Sheng family to drink, a little drunk, Changbai directly arranged Qi Heng in his study.
Changbai's study is the connection between the outer courtyard of the Sheng family and the inner house, I don't know if it is unintentional or coincidental, Qi Heng took advantage of the moonlight to walk away, really met Minglan, and asked the words that had been hidden in his heart for many years!
"Sixth sister, over the years, you have not understood my intentions for you, but you always pretend to be stupid and cold to me. I'll say it to heaven today, but if you have half a point to respond to my heart, I will fight to the death! But from the very beginning you felt that I was the overwhelmed, that I would trouble you and avoid me like a poisonous snake and beast. ”
Minglan smiled bitterly: You are too good, you want to do the best in everything, I can't afford it, your heart is too big, and you can't put it down.
With such a dialogue, Qi Heng's heart was less unwilling and less obsessive. In fact, the fact that two people can meet is also due to the credit of Changbai.
Chang Bai saw the obsession in Qi Heng's heart, and also saw the bitterness in Minglan's heart, and he couldn't let the two of them talk about it in a fair and bright way, the only thing he could do was to secretly arrange a chance encounter between the two people!
If Changbai really does not want the two to meet, there is no need to arrange Qi Heng in the study, only need to arrange in the guest room to prevent two people from meeting, generally the guest rooms are in the outer courtyard, and the foreign man cannot enter the inner house casually.
To put it bluntly, Changbai still hopes that the two people will not leave a regretful life, which is the only time that Changbai has disregarded the etiquette, and hopes that the two will open their hearts to each other.
Although Chang Bai in life does not smile, he has friendship in his heart, whether it is Qi Heng or Minglan or Old Lady Sheng, he treats it with sincerity! I hope they can live freely without being bound!
Unfortunately, even with the help of Changbai, Minglan and Qi Heng are still like two parallel lines that cannot intersect!
