Gathering

  Party of 28

  Yang Lan was slightly surprised, not expecting that she would be the first to help herself out of this situation. No matter what the reason was, she still felt grateful and immediately smiled: "I mentioned it to my mother a few days ago, and in a few days' time, my mother will invite some guests to come to the princess's mansion for a visit. At that time, I will also ask some ladies from noble families to come to the mansion to play together! My mother said that as long as we understand etiquette, she will let us attend together!" The implication was that etiquette must be learned well, and one cannot lose face in front of guests.

  The girls all showed joyful smiles, and they also understood that the eldest princess couldn't remember them, it must have been Sixth Sister who mentioned it, and their eyes all revealed some grateful color.

  The fourth girl couldn't help but laugh and say, "This little girl is always saying that our rules are not as good as hers! Sisters, let's hurry up and pull her ears, and make her apologize to us again!"

  The second girl jumped up and rushed over to grab Yang Lan's ear, Yang Lan begged for mercy, "Second sister, my ears! Alright, I was wrong, I'm just like you guys learning rules and copying books, not even pulling a single one all day! Spare me, good sister!"

  "Alright, I'll let you off this time since you seem sincere. But next time, don't even think about messing with us or you'll be sorry! Now hurry up and go, don't keep them waiting. Those noble ladies are all difficult to deal with, they have big tempers!" She said with a meaningful glance at Li Qianshuang.

  "This time San Gu Niang also helped speak up, 'Yes! Don't be late, come back and tell us about Le Zi, let us have some fun too!'"

  Yang Lan smiled happily, her face full of sincerity, "Mmm! Wait for me to come back and I'll buy you delicious food!"

  The old lady didn't say a word, but smiled and said: "Go! Be careful outside, have a plan in mind, don't let people say that our Yang family has no rules, that wouldn't be good!"

  Yang Lan nodded, understanding the old lady's meaning was to maintain the Yang family's reputation and think more for her other sisters.

  After saying goodbye to the old lady, I left with Second Brother Yang Mai and headed to the horse farm together.

  They are going to the royal horse farm on Huangzhuangzi, it's also understandable, these people are all noble ladies, who can't afford to offend anyone, if something happens, no one can bear the responsibility! At least in Huangzhuangzi, personal safety can be guaranteed, and they can have fun without being disturbed by others.

  Yang Lan arrived, and Zhou Ying had already personally welcomed her at the door. As soon as she saw her, she walked over and warmly took her hand, laughing: "You're late, you'll have to drink three cups of wine later! Today we have some fine Persian red wine, and the farm has contributed a lot of fresh fruit dishes. Although they're not particularly good, they win out for being new and having a wild flavor!"

  Yang Lan smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth, "Let sister work hard! I brought a few batches of Xiangyun silk, let sisters take it back to make a skirt for summer!"

  Zhou Ying's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately beamed with joy. "Ah! This is indeed extremely precious material! How did you manage to get it?! But it was worth the expense, they'll be overjoyed when they find out!"

  Yang Lan just smiled slightly, "You forgot that when my dad was in office in Guangdong, the rich merchants there also presented them to him, I don't know where they got them from, I'm just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha!"

  Yang Wei also jumped off the horse and looked around, nodding in satisfaction. "I didn't expect this horse farm to be so big, and it's well-maintained!"

  Yang Lan smiled and said, "What's wrong with the royal horse racing track?"

  Zhou Ying smiled and said to Yang Mei: "Today my brother and the others have also come, you go find them over there! I'll take my sister away, don't worry, I will take good care of Jing An!"

  Yang Wei smiled and nodded, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it was like someone had choked to death. "Mmm! If there's anyone who dares to be rude, just use the whip on them, sister! If the sky falls, brother will hold it up for you!"

  What I'm saying is that if someone bullies you, just fight back with a whip and don't worry about anyone causing trouble for you. In fact, I'll be the one to cause them trouble!

  Yang Lan glared at him with a bad temper, "You go! Where am I so stupid to be bullied by people!"

  Yang Mei glanced at Biyun and Lin Mama, seeing them nodding in agreement before feeling relieved to leave with the male guest to drink wine on that side. Yang Lan led a group of maidservants, matrons, and guards along with Zhou Ying to head towards where the female guests were, a crowd of people swarming into the manor.

  "Who is this? Zhou Ying, don't make a sound, let me guess. It can't be the Princess of Jing'an, can it?" A slender and gentle-looking young girl spoke first.

  The girl was wearing a rose-patterned cloud brocade jacket with crimson silk and gold-edged sleeves, tied at the waist with a pale yellow skirt embroidered with tea flowers, on her head was a crown of red gemstones and golden threads, and on her temples was a jade hairpin pressing down a begonia flower. She looked to be around 14 or 15 years old, and had an air of nobility about her.

  Yang Lan walked forward first, with a sweet smile and joyful air, bowing her head to pay respects, "Jing An greets Le An Gong Zhu!"

  Le An princess's eyes flashed a bright color, and she immediately retreated half a step back, smiling and returning the courtesy, "Le An greets her younger sister Jing An! I was so excited to see my cousin that I forgot my manners, please don't blame me for being rude!"

  Yang Lan was called Jing'an outside, Jing'an was the title given by the Empress Dowager and sealed by the Emperor's uncle. It could be used outside, but a girl's private name couldn't be spoken out loud, it would be too impolite.

  She looked at Princess Le'an with a casual smile, her eyes slightly narrowed and her face politely smiling. "Look what you said, we don't need to be formal outside, it's rare that there are so many people playing today, today you must teach me how to ride a horse! I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

  Le An Gong Zhu ranked sixth. Her mother was a noblewoman, with a relatively low position but no sons, so she was somewhat more relaxed, although not much favored but also relatively safe.

  "I've long heard the Empress mention my cousin, and I've always wanted to meet her! Now that I have the chance, I heard they're coming here to ride horses. I took the initiative to come myself without being invited, don't be annoyed with me! My horse riding skills aren't great either!" She said, covering her mouth and smiling shyly.

  Yang Lan then met with the two county masters, Zhou Ying introduced her to everyone, they were all girls of similar age, after a round of greetings and jokes, they quickly became cheerful.

  Zhou Ying had a banquet set up in the pavilion, with Zhuangzi bringing his own homegrown melons, fruits and vegetables. Although they weren't cooked by a great chef, they made up for it with their wild flavor, freshness and overall were quite good.

  Zhou Ying saw that everyone was laughing, and the atmosphere was not bad, so she spoke up first: "I'm telling you sisters, today Rong'an County's mistress brought several batches of Xiangyun silk to give to us as a gift for meeting, plus a box of Western-style filigree enamel small hand mirrors. Later, you can choose which pattern you like. I just took a sneak peek, and there are twelve patterns, aren't they beautiful? First, let me say that I want the one with the lotus flower pattern! Don't fight with me for it!"
