Among Sheng Hong's four daughters, only Mo Lan and Ming Lan have a scene of getting married, and there is a sharp contrast between the two scenes. Minglan dowry process was very lively and festive, which left a deep impression. Mo Lan's dowry process was cold and silent, more like a funeral. It wasn't until Mo Lan went out that the eldest lady reminded that there were still guests to entertain, so they put on a standard smirk and went out. In the process of Minglan dowry, Sheng Hong, who has always been indifferent, also had tears in his eyes, and his grandmother was reluctant to Minglan when he finally shouted "Ming girl", Sheng Hong cried even more painfully, and he was clearly seen wiping his tears with his sleeve under the camera, looking like his true feelings.
Minglan is actually the least favored of Sheng Hong's four daughters, why did Sheng Hong cry sadly and cry so emotionally? In fact, this tear is far more than just guilt. When she was a child, Minglan was smart and clever, Sheng Hong once loved her, but Wei Xiaoniang had a taciturn personality and was unwilling to compete with others for favor, so Sheng Hong naturally cared less. Later, Mo Lan wanted to compete everywhere, but Minglan was not convinced, and always fought against her. After Minglan's mother passed away, although she hid her talent, she was still implicated by her two sisters and punished by Sheng Hong several times. After Minglan found out the truth about Wei Xiaoniang's dystocia, in order to protect Lin Xiaoniang, Sheng Hong resolutely refused to mention this matter, which made Minglan feel chilled.
At the polo meeting, Minglan won the golden hairpin for Yanran, but Mo Lan sowed discord, Sheng Hong was indiscriminate, regardless of Minglan's identity, and punished her to kneel at will. In fact, Sheng Hong knew that Minglan was calm and well-behaved, and she was not a troublemaker, but every time she was punished, Sheng Hong always knew that she was innocent and never understood. At least for Minglan , he can't be counted as a good father. Compared with Sheng Hong's preference for Mo Lan, his doting on Hua Lan and his helplessness towards Rulan, her indifference to Minglan undoubtedly hurt her the most. But why did Sheng Hong feel so sad and cry when Minglan got married? This cry is far more than guilt.
At the beginning, Mo Lan disregarded her shame and fornicated with Liang Han, and threatened the whole family with Lin Xiaoniang. This incident not only gambled on the family's reputation, but also made Sheng Hong's love for their mother and daughter over the years a laughing stock. The eldest lady had no choice but to ask for a kiss, and even the old lady had to show her face and go to the Liang family in person, and finally succeeded in covering up the matter, but the gossip humiliated the Sheng family. These painful memories are still vivid, and the wedding of Mo Lan and Ming Lan is almost a matter of front and back, and this hatred is still there. Looking at Minglan in front of her, she was asked to marry by Gu Tingye with red makeup, the official family gave the marriage, the queen gave the dowry, and she took care of all aspects very thoughtfully, which can be said to give the Sheng family and Minglan a lot of face.
Sheng Hong has always attached great importance to the family's reputation and his career, Minglan married Gu Tingye definitely very high, not only glorifying the lintel of the Sheng family, but also a boost for the future of the Sheng family. Sheng Hong felt very relieved and proud in his heart. In fact, Sheng Hong is a very cold person, and among all the children in the family, only Hua Lan, Mo Lan and Changfeng have been loved by him. Hua Lan is the eldest daughter, her family was not wealthy when she was born, and she is gentle and sensible, so she naturally received Sheng Hong's special care. Mo Lan and Changfeng, because of Sheng Hong's love for Lin Xiaoniang, also got their love.
Changbai has a stable personality and doesn't need too much care, while Rulan is reckless and irritable, and often fights with Mo Lan, Sheng Hong doesn't like her, and Mo Lan suffers a lot because of this. Minglan is the youngest daughter in the family, without the love of her biological mother, without the love of her father, and her mother-in-law has no intention of taking care of her, she can only rely on her elderly grandmother to survive. Sheng Hong was not a good father, but he taught his children to be sensible, encouraged them to study, and was very cautious in marriage. Although he chooses sons-in-law not all of them are rich and noble, he has his own standards, and his vision is still good. Except for Hua Lan and Mo Lan, Sheng Hong almost didn't show too much fatherly love, but his upbringing of his children was quite qualified. It's just that many times, he ranks these feelings behind the face of the family. Several daughters are married one after another, including the youngest Minglan , and he realizes that his daughters are no longer the children under his protection and can no longer bear the love of their father. Even a cold person like Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel sad. This kind of sadness is not only for Minglan , but also for the lost father and daughter time.
The biggest difference between Minglan and the other three daughters in the dowry process is that she married a high-ranking husband. Although Rulan and Mo Lan's dowry is also good, even if Hualan is in good condition, she is still not treated well by her husband's family after marriage. Minglan replaced Rulan to marry Gu Tingye, because Gu Tingye actually asked to marry his daughter. Although he agreed to retreat and marry Minglan second, Minglan was not very happy to marry him. Whether their married life is happy or not is not only related to them personally, but also to whether the Sheng family will be blamed, so Sheng Hong needs to do something. When a daughter gets married, the celebratory atmosphere must be set off just right, and Sheng Hong, as a father, naturally needs to show the image of a loving father. His performance in the process of Minglan dowry was to tell Gu Tingye that he also loved Minglan and married his beloved daughter to him, which was the importance and value of him.
This is not only to warn Gu Tingye that the Sheng family is Minglan is the support and needs to treat her well, but also to show Minglan value. Through such a performance, Gu Tingye will help and promote the Sheng family more attentively.
If he obviously didn't pay attention to Minglan , it would appear to be too casual and indifferent to Gu Tingye. Although Gu Tingye cares about Minglan very much, and he is also very aware of Sheng Hong's character, in the case that Sheng Hong does not know the truth, he needs to maintain a cautious and solemn attitude towards this matter to show respect for Gu Tingye. Therefore, Sheng Hong's affectionate tears are not only out of guilt, but also to create a warm and touching wedding scene. This wedding is the most enjoyable scene for both families, so both parties are happy to cooperate. On the whole, Sheng Hong's affectionate tears are not too much for Minglan except for a trace of guilt. In fact, it's just a hypocritical show.
