Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 122 A Humorous Tale
At this moment, Gu Tingye had long lost his former innocence and gentleness. Now, his face showed more of an unruly attitude, as if he were the most important person in the world, and all that remained was the demeanor of Gu Laosan.

No, it should be described as momentum!

This kind of aura can instill fear in people from the bottom of their hearts, and make them think that this person is a bad person!
Unfortunately, in the eyes of "respectable families," Gu Tingye was nothing more than a spoiled brat.

"Humph!"

"What Gu Lang says is always so true that it's hard to tell how much of it is true and how much is false?"

The beautiful woman raised her glass to Gu Tingye's lips, her red lips slightly pouting, curving into a beautiful arc.

"Besides, people say, 'A man's mouth is a lying devil!'"

"You can't trust Gu Lang's words at all!"

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing the beauty's coquettish complaint, Gu Tingye immediately drank it down in one gulp, and then burst into loud laughter!

This immediately attracted the attention of several noble sons in the vicinity.

"Erlang, what are you and Wei, the head of the guild, talking about?"

"Why are you so happy?"

Wei Xingshou is the title of a beautiful woman.

The head of the line, the head of the line, even though it is only the profession of brothels and entertainment venues, it can still be seen that this person is very famous!
"Yeah yeah!"

"Let's have a good laugh if we tell you!"

A group of like-minded brothers from the brothels and theaters immediately started shouting.

"Hey! Hey! Everyone, watch out!"

Gu Tingye deliberately frowned, pretending to be unhappy, and said insincerely, "Just now, Chief Wei said that all men's words are lies, and now you are still making such a fuss?"

"Isn't this deliberately making Chief Wei's impression of us bad men even worse?"

"Oh~~"

"So, we're all bad guys after all~~"

Everyone drew out their voices, looking at Wei Xingshou with amusement, as if hoping she would show some shyness.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhinan, as the head of the guild, would never grant these despicable men's wishes.

"What, are you all completely unaware of your own reputations?"

Wei Xingshou raised her head slightly, rolled her eyes at everyone, and said coquettishly, "With your bad reputations, it's no wonder you scare away a lot of girls!"

"Do you really think you're so great?"

"Ha ha……"

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, everyone disagreed and instead burst into laughter, their faces beaming with smugness.

However, while others were genuinely pleased, Gu Tingye's smugness was feigned.

His laughter was a tearful laugh, a laugh filled with sorrow.

"Gu Lang?"

Wei, the head of the business, understood Gu Tingye best. Seeing his expression like that, she felt a pang of heartache for a moment.

However, she was ultimately just an actress in a brothel!

He was called the head of the gang, but he was nothing more than a lackey!
What can she possibly do?

……

"Almost there, almost there!"

Shen Li lifted the curtain inside the car and kept looking outside, his face full of excitement!

To be honest, Sheng Changquan can hardly remember what he looked like when he first met him. Back then, he was honest and simple-minded. How come he's like a husky that's been let loose now!
"Ah~"

Sheng Changquan felt deeply sorry for Shen Li's family. How could he have let Shen Li's true nature slip out with just a few words?

How strange!
……

Although she was sad, Minglan was not the type to blame fate or others, nor was she the type to remain immersed in sadness.

She stopped crying first, cupped Yanran's red, tear-stained face in her hands, sniffled, and tried her best to encourage her, saying, "Sister Yanran, you must be strong!"

"Don't forget, you also have your grandparents!"

"And I'm here too!" Minglan was afraid that Yanran might do something foolish in a moment of despair, so she racked her brains to persuade her, "Besides, Grand Secretary Yu and Madam Yu are getting old, and you are the most caring person for them. You must take good care of them!"

"Minglan!"

Although Yanran is gentle, she is not the kind of fool who can't understand anything. In fact, thanks to Grand Secretary Yu's teachings, she knows more and is smarter than others!
As intelligent as she was, she naturally understood Minglan's subtext and knew the meaning behind her words.

"Minglan, don't worry, I won't choose to do that!"

"My mother's only wish before she passed away was that I could live a good life and marry well!"

"Therefore, I will not go that far!"

Yanran took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, then regained her strength.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about me anymore!"

Yanran sighed, relieving some of the pressure in her heart, and then took Minglan's hands again, changing the subject: "Tell me about yourself!"

Is your mistress, Lin, still causing trouble?

The two sisters knew each other's family situations very well, so there was nothing they didn't know.

"Ok!"

Minglan nodded, somewhat helplessly.

"Our family is still the same as always, but fortunately, we've been preparing for my second and third brothers' imperial examinations these past few days, so things have finally calmed down a bit at home!"

"Oh, you've really suffered, Minglan!"

Yanran first stroked Minglan's hair with pity, like an older sister comforting her younger sister, and then said enviously, "But you're lucky, you still have your own brother Changquan to rely on, unlike me, I don't even have any brothers or sisters!"

Thinking about her own situation, Yanran couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.

"Sister Yanran."

Minglan didn't want the other person to remain in such a sad state, so she smiled and said, "If you really envy me for having a younger brother, why don't you adopt a younger brother too!"

"I think Changquan should be able to do it!"

"Ok?"

Yanran was somewhat tempted, thinking that it might not be a bad idea!
After all, she and Minglan were like sisters, and she was also quite close to Sheng Changquan, at least much closer than her nominal half-brother!
"Oh, that's not right!"

Minglan's eyes darted around, and the smile in her eyes deepened even more!
"This younger brother is only in name; there's no blood relation, so he can't really be considered a good one!"

"Minglan?"

Yanran couldn't help but call out, her tone slightly urgent, as if she wanted to understand the meaning behind her words.

"whee……"

Minglan smiled as she looked at her good friend across from her, who looked nervous and confused. A smile played on her lips as she whispered, "Since you haven't arranged a marriage yet, Sister Yanran, why don't you let my little brother have a good match?"

"This way, we can become even closer, and truly become sisters!"

Minglan laughed happily, and was also very clever and mischievous.

"Yeah~!"

Yanran was startled, and a large blush quickly rose on her face!
“Minglan…you…you…”

After stammering for a long time, Yanran was completely speechless.

At this moment, a man's figure slowly appeared beside Minglan and Yanran—

Qi Heng approached and walked over.

……

"Here we are, right here!"

Upon arriving at their destination, Shen Li once again reverted to his previous calm demeanor.

He straightened up, concealing his excitement, and pointed to the "straw mat city wall" in front of him, explaining, "That enclosed area inside is the polo field hosted by the Yongchang Earl's Mansion!"

"Oh? This is it?"

Sheng Changquan looked in that direction, but in his mind he began to think about his plan to make a name for himself.

"It seems we can begin the first step now!"

That's what he thought to himself.

Someone asked me if I dared to? Of course I wouldn't!
How can I add extra chapters if I don't have any drafts saved up? How can I get it published?
