My wife is fierce and 92 years old, joking around

  The one who spoke was the daughter of the Bu Zhengshi from the south, Jiang Yan'er. Her father had some ability and was promoted to an official position in the imperial city's noble circle. At first, when Jiang Yan'er came, she was very popular. She came from the south and knew a bit about life there. Her family was from Jinling, and their food and clothing were more exquisite.

  She started telling interesting stories about the south, which were very popular among the noblewomen in the capital, and she received some attention for it, making her feel quite proud. However, as time went on, it got old, after all, she was just a woman from a boudoir, raised deep within the inner chambers, and there was only so much to talk about, having only seen things while traveling by boat along the waterways.

  These noble ladies, although not leaving the capital city, have a deep foundation of education and upbringing. Ordinary things cannot attract them, so hearing something interesting and rare is just enough, they won't take it seriously after all. The Jiang Yan'er family's roots in the capital are still a bit shallow.

  No one paid attention to her anymore, far from the enthusiastic welcome she received when she first arrived. The little girl was being ignored for the first time and felt very resentful, always thinking of finding an opportunity to regain face. Yang Lan returned home, but she didn't understand the situation clearly and thought it was nothing special, so she rushed forward impulsively.

  Regardless of the seven twenty-one, thinking that they had finally caught the noble ladies' handle and mistake, they recklessly opened fire at Yang Lan, and sarcastically ridiculed her with a sentence.

  Yang Lan simply raised her head and glanced at her, the golden peach blossom hairpin, the rose-red embroidered shallow yellow chrysanthemum on the lake's dense slanting collar, the lower hem of the garment tied with a tangerine-yellow middle-waisted skirt, a red five-fu tassel hanging from her waist, dressed very elegantly.

  Yang Lan didn't explain, she just smiled casually and said: "Whatever you say is fine!" Thinking to herself, I don't even know you, no need to explain anything to you. She turned her head and continued chatting with others.

  Many noblewomen couldn't help but burst out laughing, completely disregarding Jiang Yan'er's intentions. They didn't take her seriously at all and didn't even bother to explain things to her.

  Jiang Yan'er was extremely indignant, and without thinking, she impulsively spoke out, "What? Not going to explain? I thought the noble ladies of the capital were all kind-hearted, but it turns out they're no better than this!"

  The eldest daughter of the Zuo family, Tao Rufen, didn't want the banquet to become too ugly, so she made a roundabout remark with a smile: "As for this, I know a thing or two about it. Let me say something. I've heard my father say before that when doing good deeds, there must be a limit. Helping the poor is not necessarily a blessing, but may bring disaster instead. It's not beautiful to arouse other people's envy. I think Jing'an also meant this. Buying cured meat and giving a few copper coins is much better than directly giving silver. Some poor families can use five taels of silver for a whole year!

  "You gave him ten taels of silver, saying that tomorrow their home would be robbed! Instead, it harmed them. Giving more copper coins and exchanging them for silver themselves would be better. The copper coins I gave for five taels of silver are also just copper coins. A handful of copper coins is still just copper coins. Outsiders don't know how many strings of copper coins they got, but the cured meat can be counted and seen, so others won't think wrongly."

  This explanation is just what Yang Lan meant. However, she didn't want to argue with Jiang Yan'er, and before figuring out which side she was on, it wasn't good to offend her too much. But neither could she lose face, so she simply ignored her and that was the end of it.

  Jiang Yan'er wanted to say something more, but was pulled back by her cousin Lu Shuijing, who shook her head secretly. Jiang Yan'er could only hold it in and didn't make another sound, but her eyes were red-rimmed, and she looked wronged.

  Lu Shuijing felt a bit helpless and secretly blamed Jiang Yan'er for not understanding the ways of the world. Which girl from a good family in the capital was easy to get along with? Although they didn't go out, their vision and experience were far more formidable than theirs. The depth of their family's background was very deep, and they had been taught by professionals. How could those who came to Beijing halfway compare to them?

  She silently sighed, her cousin was still too naive, young and spoiled by her family, couldn't bear any grievances. Unaware that these noble ladies' social interactions require some tolerance! Who made you need to fawn on them?!

  Not everyone in the capital can be called a noble lady, only the eldest daughter of a first-class old family can be called a noble lady. The rest are those who have connections with the royal family, and they are naturally the pride of heaven. Who else can compare to them?

  In her heart, she secretly decided to go back and tell her mother about today's events. She didn't know if the Princess of Jing'an would blame them or not. If she did, it wouldn't be good. It was all because her cousin was too impulsive, who starts offending people as soon as they meet?

  She's not an ordinary character, even the dignified princess can't compare to her favored status. In the noble circle, she is also a first-rate figure. Her parents are talented and she is the emperor's niece and the empress dowager's granddaughter. She is in the prime of her life, enjoying great favor. Why did you offend her for no reason?

  The road is quiet, the more I think about it, the more anxious and uneasy I become. No, when I get back, I must have a good talk with my elders about my cousin, otherwise, isn't this going to lead to trouble?!

  Yang Lan didn't pay attention to the two of them again, but was instead surrounded by a group of noblewomen who chattered nonstop, asking her questions. As it turned out, she had a broad perspective and although she hadn't married or been in love before, her experiences in life were quite extensive. Her temperament was also cheerful and gentle, with an air of confidence and pride that caught the eyes of the noblewomen. With a simple story, she spoke eloquently, making it seem so interesting and vivid, with a sweet smile that seemed to radiate light, making it impossible for anyone to ignore her sunny and carefree beauty.

  I don't know if it's because of the quietness of the road or her own sensitivity, but after a meal, she felt that everyone seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally keeping their distance from her. Even when they spoke, there was a hint of politeness in their tone. Some girls who had previously been on good terms with her now seemed to have a hint of estrangement, which made her feel secretly wronged and implicated.

  Wan Rou also walked over from that side, hugging Le An's shoulder and smiling sweetly: "How was your meal? Do you need anything else? If there's anything not to your liking, just order the servant to get it for you, just don't be polite with me!"

  Le An looked at everyone staring at the two of them, feeling a sense of being valued and respected, which made her heart very happy. She smiled lightly and said: "Look what you said, today's preparations are all good, very proper, we're having a great time!"

  Wan Rou seemed to feel more at ease after hearing this, and she smiled casually as she asked: "Oh, what do you guys talk about? I seem to see Jing An telling you all sorts of things. Don't let her deceive you, that little mouth is formidable! She can make the dead sound alive!"

  "Hahaha! Not all of us were fooled by her and left stunned!" Mingyu also covered her mouth with a handkerchief, laughing loudly.

  Yang Lan was very unconvinced, sticking out her neck and raising her head to smile and retort. "Where did I cheat you? It's all true! You've never been outside, how would you know how interesting it is?"

  Zhou Ying laughed and leaned on the table, unable to straighten her waist, pointing at Yang Lan and scolding: "Quickly go and tear her mouth, this is burying us for being unrefined and having no vision! Just because she has a lot of experience, she tramples all over us, just showing off her ability, sisters, take care of her!"

  Whoa, several girls jumped up and surrounded Yang Lan, pinching her face, pinching her waist. One of them also took the opportunity to touch her chest.

  Yang Lan let out a loud shriek, "Who is this? How dare you take advantage of me! Believe it or not, I'll strip your clothes off! Ah! Don't tug on my clothes! I'm telling you... You women don't understand what's called feminine virtue! You should be sent back to school for reeducation. Oh no! Don't...don't strip my clothes, I was wrong, sisters please spare me!"

  It wasn't until she begged for mercy that the group of girls let her go, and the crowd dispersed. Yang Lan also had a helpless expression on her face, with her hair disheveled and her hairpin fallen out. Her collar was torn open, and she looked like a beggar with some tattered cloth strips added to her clothes!

  "Hahaha!" The girls looked at each other in delight, pounding the table and watching Yang Lan laugh uncontrollably. They laughed so hard they were doubled over, extremely happy.

  At this time, the gentle brother on that side brought Chu Yu and Rong Yi together to come over here, looking at the lively scene over there to take a look. Happened to see this scene.

  At that moment, the three boys burst out laughing, and Chu Yu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. Pointing at Yang Lan, she asked: "Hey, what's going on? Why has she become a crazy woman! It should be painted to commemorate it!"

  Yang Lan's face suddenly turned black, and she adjusted her collar. She sat there calmly, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes staring at Chu Yu, her voice cool as she spoke, "Sixth Uncle, tomorrow when I see my uncle, should I suggest to him that he should give you more homework? You seem to be having it too easy!"

  Yang Lan's face was dignified, but her hair was disheveled and a strand had fallen down. The hairpin on her head was askew, and her eyebrows were painted like a picture. Her pale face had a few hints of red from laughing, and the dimples on her cheeks added two parts of elegant beauty, causing the three young men to gaze at her face unceasingly.

  Chu Yu's face turned brilliant in an instant after being squeezed by Yang Lan, with a look of gloom and entanglement, wanting to beg for mercy but unable to lower her face, wanting to laugh but afraid that she would really provoke this little lady, she dared to go and report.

  Rong Yi couldn't help but smile when she saw Chu Yu looking pitiful, and said: "Jing An, why don't you go fix your hair? The braid you did today looks elegant and refined, it really suits you! Are you trying to impress Liu Ye?" After saying that, she also couldn't help but take a few more glances, the little girl has grown up!

  Chu Yu saw her brother-in-law helping her out, and immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "That's right, my sister looks great today, this dress is also beautiful, it makes your skin look good!" Flattery is free, isn't it!

  Yang Lan stood up, glanced at the two of them with a slanted eye, rolled her eyes and said, "No good deed goes unpunished! Hmph! Go get your hair done!" And with that, she turned around and left to get her hair done.

  Chu Yu's face turned bright red, with a helpless yet very tolerant expression.

  Wan Rou couldn't hold back, lowering her head, wanting to laugh but not daring to, afraid that Yang Lan would really blow up, so she quickly instructed someone to take her to her own room to tidy up.

  Yang Lan re-tied her hair into a "ten-character" bun, re-inserted the hairpin and tidied herself up before sitting back down on the couch, only to find that these three people hadn't left yet?

  "Can't help but wonder: 'You three big men, why haven't you left yet? Are you planning to have dinner with us girls together? That's not allowed, just take a look at the beauties and that's it! Can't get too much of it!'"

  Chu Yu was speechless after being teased by Yang Lan, but she still wanted to talk to her cousin, speaking freely and openly without hiding anything, reacting quickly with a clever and sharp mind, understanding things at once, with bright eyes, unlike some girls who just stared blankly at him with wolf-like eyes, which scared people.
