Chapter 55 Are You Minglan?

Polo is a popular sport in the whole Zhou Dynasty.

Minglan often played polo when she was in Yangzhou.

Wei Shuyi even taught her some details and ways of playing polo.

Although Minglan is still young and cannot ride a tall horse, there are ponies for children.

Sheng Family.

Minglan was about to follow Wang Ruofu to the polo field outside Bianjing.

Before leaving, Wei Shuyi could not help but remind her: "Your grandfather taught me how to play polo."

"Your uncle is also proficient in this. If you play today, don't embarrass your uncle. But if you meet the children of dignitaries, remember to give way to them and don't argue with them."

Minglan nodded, "I know, mother, I'm going."

Recently, she has been studying with Zhuang Xuejiu.

She couldn't stop herself from going out to play.

Wei Shuyi waved his hand, "Go find the Madam."

Then, Minglan went to Weiruixuan to find Madam Wang.

At this time, Rulan, Molan, Changfeng and others had been waiting here for a long time.

Minglan hurriedly ran to Wang Ruofu and said apologetically:

"Madam, Minglan is late."

Wang Ruofu smiled and said, "It's okay. Now that we are all together, let's go."

Because Sheng Changbai never liked playing polo and pitching pots, he didn't go this time.

When leaving Sheng's house, Molan said dissatisfiedly:

"My uncle is different when he gets the power. He made us wait for so long."

Minglan frowned slightly, "Fourth sister, please forgive me. I have never participated in such occasions and I am a little timid."

Wang Ruofu said, "It's okay, let's go."

Although she didn't get along with Molan's mother, she never took the initiative to make trouble for Molan in public.

Unless Molan did something excessive, or her biological daughter suffered a loss from Molan.

Because Wang Ruofu's personality is like this.

Even if you give her a knife, she won't think of killing people.

Soon, the Sheng family came to the polo field.

At this time, Rulan suddenly saw that there was a woman in red, who was heroic and brave, competing with some female relatives and women in the field.

"Minglan, look, that sister is so brave! Even the women can't help but feel happy when they see her!"

Rulan shouted.

Minglan looked up for a moment and found that the polo skills of the woman in red were not only very good, but the others seemed to be willing to let her go.

They didn't dare to compete with her.

After a while, the woman in red had scored many goals.

At this time, a woman stood next to the Sheng family and said:

"That's Zhang Guifen, the only daughter of the Duke of Ying. Who among the children of officials in Bianjing doesn't know her? Where did you come from? Even Sister Zhang doesn't know?"

In her words, she looked down on the Sheng family.

Indeed, who among the nobles or officials with some power has not seen Zhang Guifen?

Having not seen her only means that they have not reached that level of contact.

The woman's words and actions made everyone in the Sheng family unhappy.

However, Wang Ruofu did not say anything. After all, it was her first time in such an occasion. If she offended the children of a very prosperous family, it would be bad.

Suddenly, another woman came and bowed to everyone in the Sheng family:

"Everyone, this is my sister Yu Yanhong. She is still young. If my words and actions have offended you, please forgive me."

Yu Yanhong?

Granddaughter of Lord Yu?

Wang Ruofu smiled and said, "It's okay, children are just children, and they are not guilty of their words."

Yu Yanhong frowned deeply and said, "Yu Yanran, you are the good guy!"

Yu Yanran took her arm as if to please her, and said softly:

"Sister, it's all my fault, don't be angry."

Yu Yanhong didn't look at her, and suddenly saw Gu Tingye's figure, and ran over quickly,

"Brother Gu!"

Seeing this, Yu Yanran shook her head and looked at Minglan and others, "I'm really sorry."

Then, the wife of the Yongchang Earl saw the Sheng family team and waved to them, signaling them to come over.

Wang Ruofu said, "Let's go too."

It's called playing polo.

It's just a social gathering among nobles and officials.

Usually, the children of the family go out to play polo.

Many couples in Bianjing City met each other from this kind of polo club.

Wang Ruofu and his group sat at the end of the right side of the wife of the Yongchang Earl.

There are several baron's mansions, marquis' mansions, and even duke's mansions ahead.

At this time, Lady Wu, the wife of the Earl of Yongchang, was chatting with Lady Pingning, the wife of Duke of Qi, Lady Qin of the Marquis of Ningyuan, and others.

Wang Ruofu wanted to blend in, but few people paid attention to her.

This made her a little depressed.

At this time, Wang Ruofu happened to hear them talking about Zhang Guifen,

"The daughter of Duke Yingguo is really as good as a man, and she lives up to the title of a general's daughter."

"Yes, I don't know who will be so lucky in the future to marry Guifen."

"You don't know yet? The only daughter of Duke Yingguo has already been engaged to the newly promoted Earl."

"."

Hearing this, Lady Pingning, the wife of Duke of Qi, couldn't help but ask curiously:

"You are talking about Duke Yingguo's disciple, the tiger general Wei Yuan who killed 30,000 Liao soldiers?"

Lady Qin of the Marquis of Ningyuan took a sip of tea and smiled: "Besides him, who else can it be?"

Hearing this, Wang Ruofu smiled and said: "That General Wei has a relationship with our Sheng family."

Qin and others glanced at her, just nodded, and said nothing more.

Instead, Mrs. Wu said, "Really? When General Wei comes to the capital another day, you should invite him to come to my place and play polo."

Princess Pingning said: "I am a general who goes into battle to kill the enemy. How can I have time to play polo?"

Mrs. Wu said: "That's right. If General Wei can come this time, the polo field I worked so hard to build will definitely become popular in the whole capital."

The ladies were sitting together chatting.

The children are not idle either.

I saw only a few female relatives chatting around Rong Feiyan, the daughter of Uncle Fu Chang.

It stands to reason that a woman from an earl would never be sought after by so many people.

However, Rong Feiyan had a sister who was Zhao Zhen's beloved concubine.

Therefore, Rong Feiyan's status has also risen.

For a time, there was a faint tendency to compete with Zhang Guifen.

Sheng Jia Molan came to the polo club for only one purpose, and that was to make friends.

Ru Lan was sitting at the Sheng family's table.

Suddenly she saw Mo Lan chatting happily with several women, and even served them tea and water. She was furious and thought that she had lost all the Sheng family's face.

He quickly took Minglan with him.

Minglan didn't want to go. To her, it didn't make much sense to scheming with those women.

But unable to withstand Ru Lan's bitter words of persuasion, Minglan could only follow her thoughts.

The woman sitting next to Mo Lan was Yu Yanhong. When she saw Ming Lan and Ru Lan approaching, she looked unhappy.

"It's true that anyone can come and join in the fun here."

When Mo Lan came over, she felt a little uncomfortable.

However, in her opinion, Mo Lan was a sensible person. At least he came with a very low posture, serving tea and pouring water.

It’s just children from a little-known family, one is enough, and they all come to join in the fun here, is it worthy?

Although Yu Yanhong thought so, according to her status, she could only sit on the periphery of Rong Feiyan.

Rulan became furious when she heard her words and deeds, and said angrily: "Is this how your family taught you?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Yanhong stood up angrily and said, "How dare you scold me?"

Ru Lan said: "Which of your ears heard me scolding you?"

Yu Yanhong tilted her head, "I'm too lazy to compete with you for the advantage of words."

She sat back down.

Minglan and Rulan sat aside.

She looked at Yu Yanran and said gloomily: "Whose sister would remain indifferent when seeing her sister having a verbal dispute with her?"

Yu Yanran said in a good voice: "Sister, my father said that we are not allowed to have any disputes with her."

Yu Yanhong snorted.

Yu Yanran looked at everyone and nodded, looking embarrassed.

Yu Yanhong and Yu Yanran are half-sisters.

After the latter's mother passed away, his father remarried, and Yu Yanhong was born.

Although they are both legitimate daughters, Yu Yanhong relies on her mother's support and often makes things difficult for Yu Yanran at home.

Minglan was very curious about the relationship between their sisters. She lowered her voice and said to Rulan:

"I have never seen a sister afraid of her sister."

Unexpectedly, these words happened to be overheard by Mo Lan.

Later, Mo Lan came to Yu Yanhong again and made a fuss.

Yu Yanhong was furious and stood up again.

"You, a little concubine, dare to talk about my Yu family's affairs?"

Obviously, it was Mo Lan who revealed Minglan's identity, but he didn't tell her that there was an uncle behind Minglan.

Mo Lan said hurriedly: "Miss Yu, please don't be angry. My sixth sister was just speaking out of curiosity. I will apologize to her for your fault."

"Sixth sister, why don't you get up and apologize?"

With that said, she walked to Minglan, turned her back to Yu Yanhong, and whispered,

"There are a lot of people talking here. Someone told her what you just said."

Then, he loudly said: "Sixth sister, be obedient and just apologize to Miss Yu."

Minglan is confused now, what did I say?

Wasn't it just out of curiosity that he said it and then left it at that? He never discussed the affairs of the Yu family.

Even Rong Feiyan was attracted by the situation here.

Yu Yanhong said angrily: "I'm talking to you, why are you so stunned? Apologize!"

Ru Lan said dissatisfied: "What are you apologizing for? Who is talking nonsense, what does it have to do with us?"

Yu Yanhong gritted her teeth and said, "Today, I must make your two sisters look good!"

After that, he walked towards them and stretched out his hand to hit Minglan or Rulan in the face.

Naturally, the two of them would not sit still and wait for death, and just wanted to avoid it.

Then I saw a woman in red came here and asked everyone, "Who is Sheng Minglan?"

After that, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Yu Yanhong secretly said:

"Sister Zhang? Minglan Sheng Minglan? Could it be that Sheng Minglan, who spoke ill of me behind my back, also offended sister Zhang?"

"Now, if you offend Sister Zhang, there will be no place for her in the capital!"

Then, pretending to look aggrieved, he came to Zhang Guifen and said:

"Sister Zhang, you have to make the decision for me, they are bullying me!"

"She! She is that Sheng Minglan!"

Yu Yanhong pointed at Sheng Minglan.

At this time, Minglan was pounding in her heart. Before coming, her mother had told her not to offend others.

But now.

For a moment, Minglan didn't know what to do.

Unexpectedly, the next moment.

Zhang Guifen looked at Minglan, her eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "You are Minglan?"

After that, she came to Minglan, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, she held Minglan's hand affectionately and smiled:

"I have been busy learning housework from the maids in the palace these days, and I didn't want to come here."

"But I heard that Madam Wu also invited your Sheng family. I guess you will not refuse since you are new to the capital."

"So, I came here early to wait for you."

I have something to do in the evening, so I will update a chapter early. If I come back late at night, it may be gone, but I will make up for it tomorrow. I will try my best to update another chapter before 12 o'clock in the morning. Please forgive me. I really have something to do suddenly. I didn't mean to owe updates, but I will definitely make up for it.
