Old friend

  This Bodhi bead necklace has been worn by Princess Ping'an for over 20 years, and she herself is also a blessed old man with good fortune and longevity. The intention of giving it as a gift is extremely good, so although this thing is very small, it represents the close relationship between Princess Ping'an and He Hui, which is unmatched by others.

  He Hui Chang Gong Zhu was taken aback and hastily declined: "Aunt, this is too valuable, how can a child like her accept it?!"

  Princess Ping'an smiled and nodded, "It's not for you, what are you in a hurry about! I just like this child, she's straightforward and generous. Whoever is sent to fetch the child can take her, and when they're free, come visit me often. I love girls like Shuixian, looking at them makes me feel younger too! Hehe!"

  Yang Lan looked at her mother, saw her slightly nodding, and then took it with both hands, bowed to thank her, "Thank you, Auntie, I'll definitely come often in the future, don't mind me bothering you!"

  "Good good good! You often come to Grandma's house, she only likes you!"

  Yang Lan leaned against Princess Ping'an, occasionally saying some funny and delightful words, selling cute and coquettish, and in a short while, she made Princess Ping'an laugh haha, and the relationship between the two became much closer.

  The girls in the Yang family were a bit shy, looking at Yang Lan being so calm and composed, they couldn't help but feel a little envious. The second sister whispered to the third sister: "I used to be jealous of sixth sister, thinking that I might not be much worse than my sister, today I see it, and I realize that mother's words were true!"

  "What's wrong?"

  "My mother said that Sixth Sister will be the most outstanding girl in our Yang family, and there won't be anyone in the entire capital who can compare to her. It will become even more apparent in the future!" After Second Sister finished saying these words, she felt much clearer in her mind. I don't necessarily have to compare myself with Sixth Sister; as long as I do my best, that's enough. Thinking this way made me feel a lot lighter too.

  The third sister looked at the second lady with a thoughtful expression, and unexpectedly found that the second lady had a dignified and elegant demeanor, as if something in her heart was about to emerge.

  They were soon led to a small hall to have tea, and during the meal, Princess Hui Chang was not with them. She had her own noble ladies and matrons to socialize with. As she left, she gave Yang Lan a glance, meaning take care of the Yang girls and don't make any mistakes. Yang Lan slightly nodded, indicating understanding.

  Yang Lan then took the Yang family's daughters to find a few girls of similar status, introduced them to several sisters to get acquainted, so that they could also make friends with several good friends in the boudoir, even if there were no suitable ones, seeing the world was also good.

  I heard that all the girls were playing around the flower beds in the inner courtyard, where the terrain is open and it's located in the best scenic spot of the inner courtyard. They gathered together in twos and threes, either leaning against the railing or feeding small fish in the lotus pond with fish food; some were drinking tea and composing poetry with a few girls, others were playing chess, and there was one who was intently painting. The girls wearing red and green clothes, with fragrant hair and youthful faces, each with their own unique beauty, formed a unique landscape line.

  On the other side, Zhou Ying beckoned to her from the cool pavilion. Immediately, a maid in a silver-red jacket came over, bowed to Yang Lanfu, and said with a smile: "I, Taohong, pay my respects to the quiet and peaceful princess. I beg to report to the princess that our young lady invites several ladies to come over for tea. Would you please grant us the honor of your presence and come over to play?"

  The girl's voice is crisp and clear, her smile is sweet and lovely, and she speaks logically, obviously a big sister.

  Yang Lan smiled and nodded, glancing into the pavilion, and also saw two or three unfamiliar girls sitting there. She casually asked: "I seem to see that the girl in silver red jacket next to Zhou sister looks unfamiliar, and the one next to her seems to be seen for the first time too, which family's young lady is she?"

  "As for the county master's words, that is the daughter of Li Daren, the Minister of Rites, and the one over there is the daughter of Ma Daren, the Minister of Revenue. All these are legitimate daughters, only the girl in autumn-colored clothes is the illegitimate daughter of Lin Daren, the Grand Master of the Central Government." After finishing speaking, Taohong closed her mouth and didn't speak again, but the expression on her face was somewhat subtle.

  Yang Lan's eyes rolled around and she smiled: "This fourth-rank official's family is quite interesting!"

  Tao Hong smiled suddenly, "Isn't it? You'll know when you go, there are plenty of interesting things!"

  "Oh! Then I must go and take a look at the excitement, sisters, let's also go and have a cup of tea!" Yang Lan walked ahead with a wave of her hand, leading the four Yang family girls to enter the pavilion together.

  "Jing'an, why haven't you been out of the house for several days? I got some top-grade spring tea the other day, come to my place tomorrow and I'll show you a thing or two, help me taste it!" Zhou Ying immediately grabbed Yang Lan's hand as soon as she saw her, and carefully told her about all the good things she had gotten over the past few days.

  "Did you see the jewelry I sent over earlier? Do you like it?"

  Yang Lan got some diamonds and gems of different colors the other day, made them into exquisite jewelry, and sent a few pairs to several good friends, including Zhou Ying.

  Zhou Ying immediately nodded, with a joyful face, "What kind of gemstone is that made of? It's actually emitting a dazzling light at night, and I've been fascinated by it for a while! Today I only wore this one bangle, don't you think it looks good?" She stretched out her wrist to reveal a cummerbund gold-inlaid gemstone bangle.

  On the table, there were inlaid different colored gems, a set of six, totaling nine sets. The inlaid patterns and gemstone colors were all different, and she had personally drawn the flower patterns herself. Her mother thought they looked good, so she had them made for her to play with.

  This ring, apart from the inlaid rubies, also has two small pink diamonds as embellishments, shining brightly and looking very elegant. Just by looking at Zhou Ying's reluctant-to-part-with-it expression, you can tell that she loves it extremely.

  "Looks good! This is called diamond, also known as adamant, it's a Western product, from Guangdong, the ladies there like this thing, I saw it shining and had some brought over."

  "Zhou sister, why don't you help us introduce ourselves? You're only concerned with chatting happily and haven't even let us take a look!" A gentle and beautiful girl next to her joked with a smile.

  The girl was wearing a crimson skirt with white jasmine flowers and a pale green silk underskirt, with a gold-inlaid white jade hairpin on her head, and she had a very dignified and elegant appearance.

  "Yes! Sister Zhou is so unfair, she's got a new intimate sister and has abandoned us!" A girl with a bright red "Fu" character apron and a yellow-edged underskirt playfully teased Zhou Ying.

  "Zhou sister, who is this younger sister? Why didn't you introduce her to us? It would be better for us to get to know her! How come we've never seen these sisters before?" The girl in the autumn-colored cheongsam had a slightly sharp tone and raised her chin slightly, clearly feeling a bit unhappy about being ignored.

  This girl is extremely beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows, a fair face, pink lips, and a pair of autumnal eyes that are full of emotions. She's really a little beauty. However, when talking to people, she raises her chin, looks at others with upturned nostrils, which seems to imply something, and appears to lack stability in her demeanor.

  Yang Lan took a glance and saw the temperament of several girls, then she had an idea in her mind. She immediately matched the names of the young ladies from the few big families that the maid had just mentioned with their faces.
