Chapter 121 The Lively Polo Match (I)

After hearing Mingxi's words, Minglan's hair stood up all over her body, and she hugged herself.

Mingxi saw how pitiful she looked, and was actually amused by her in this somewhat depressing atmosphere. Mingxi embraced Minglan and let her lean on his shoulder, hoping to give her some warm energy.

"Ming'er, don't be afraid. Our Chengxin Garden is like an iron barrel. She can't reach her hand in. Daddy and I will protect you. Besides, I think my daughter is lucky. No matter what happens, she will be able to turn danger into safety."

Minglan suddenly sat up, "By the way, I forgot to tell mother that I met a Taoist priest who called himself Xuanmiao Taoist today. He said that I am a person with great luck and will become a noble and prominent person in the future. I didn't believe it at first, but he said that he had been to our house when he was in Yangzhou, so he could see that there was a person with great luck in the northeast corner of our house."

Mingxi was stunned, thinking that this Taoist priest is really capable and seems to be a real master. Now Mingxi was no longer afraid. He was just worried that Minglan would lose her aura because of him. Now that the Taoist priest said that Minglan was the one with great luck, he was relieved and no longer panicked.

"It is true. When you were a child, I heard your father mention this mysterious Taoist priest, but at that time we were not sure who he was in our courtyard. Now, since the Taoist priest said that you have great luck, you can relax! Everything that happens is good for you!"

Minglan became happy again. "I've just thought about not attending the polo match the day after tomorrow, and I still feel regretful. Since mother said so, I can still go."х

"Go, how can you not go? The polo match hosted by Princess Yongning has extremely good prizes, you go and win them for mother. However, you'd better be careful not to get too close to Qi Heng. After all, it's a polo match hosted by Princess Yongning, and the Lord of Jiacheng County will definitely be there."

"I will avoid the Lord of Jiacheng County."

It's spring again. The polo match hosted by Princess Yongning is once again a grand scene. Horses are galloping on the green field, balls are flying, nobles gather, and laughter and joy are interwoven into a magnificent chapter of spring, showing the royal elegance and vitality of spring.

Wang Ruofu brought a group of Sheng family children to the stadium, and a familiar lady invited her to sit down. Hualan also waved her hand in the distance and greeted her younger brothers and sisters. Wang Ruofu went to exchange pleasantries with the woman next to her, and the Sheng family children went to find their eldest sister.

"Big sister, wherever there is a grand event, there is you!" Rulan teased Hualan with a smile.

Rulan's words were not exaggerated. Since the Earl of Zhongqin and Yuan Wenchun each took a concubine, the Countess and Zhang had gone to clean up the mess in front of their own door, and no one bothered Hualan anymore. Yuan Wenshao was still a good husband, and Hualan's life was prosperous. In addition, Hualan was humble and polite, and she had a very good reputation among the noble ladies in Beijing. Wherever there was a grand event, they would always remember to invite her.

"The little girl has grown up and knows how to tease her sister. Where is your young general Lin?"

Hualan was not to be outdone and went straight to the point, making Rulan blush. Her relationship with Lin Yunting was also settled, and the two families had exchanged engagement letters, but they had not set a wedding date. Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu and Mingxi had all discussed that for the sake of the girls, they should get married as late as possible.

"Big sister, didn't you bring Zhuang Jie'er, Shi Ge'er, Xin Ge'er and the others?" Minglan looked around and didn't see Hualan's children.

"I came out to relax, they still have to study at home, I told them to follow their uncle and aunt as role models and not to slack off, so they all stayed at home obediently."

"Big sister still brought them up well!" Molan praised Hualan.

"Big sister, why are you the only one who came to the Earl's Mansion? Where are the Countess and the First Lady?" Minglan asked curiously.

Hualan laughed and pulled her sisters to sit down. She also lowered her voice and said, "They dare not come out to see people! My mother-in-law is old, but in order to compete with Aunt Liu, she dressed like a little girl, painted her face white and put on red rouge. My father-in-law was so scared in the middle of the night that he kicked her out."

After hearing this, the sisters couldn't help laughing.

"There's more. My mother-in-law was injured, so my eldest sister-in-law and I had to go take care of her. I've been doing well in the mansion these years, and my mother-in-law doesn't dare to mess with me directly, so I'm at peace. But when we got to my eldest sister-in-law's place, something went wrong. The aunt and niece had a big fight. My eldest sister-in-law, who has always been doted on by my mother-in-law, was slapped twice by my mother-in-law, which really made me feel relieved."

"Why did they have a fight?" Rulan was curious.

Several sisters looked at her with wide eyes, and Hualan didn't keep it a secret. "Since my eldest brother took a concubine, he seemed to have discovered some secret. He realized the benefits of concubines. Whenever my eldest sister-in-law sent one away, he would bring another back. In recent years, my eldest sister-in-law has not only found fault with me, but she has not even managed her whole house of concubines. She is really pitiful. There are so many beautiful women in the house, and the couple in the first wife have had many quarrels over this. This is a bit good for me. Your brother-in-law has seen the first wife making trouble in the house, so he is not polite to the concubines. It is also because my eldest brother has taken away all the concubines one by one. Heartbroken after entering the mansion, the eldest sister-in-law gradually accumulated resentment. She went to take care of my mother-in-law when she was ill. Seeing that my mother-in-law had tortured herself for a concubine, my eldest sister-in-law complained a few words, roughly saying that my mother-in-law was so old, why was she still arguing with a concubine, and should just take good care of her son. My mother-in-law was just in a bad mood, and when she saw that her niece, whom she loved like her own daughter, did not speak for her, she got angry and said that my eldest sister-in-law could not give birth to a son. The two of them poked at each other's sore spots, and they started to quarrel.

"It's also the man's sin that has brought trouble to the woman." After listening to Hualan's narration, Molan spoke slowly.

"Who said it wasn't?" Hualan also agreed.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Minglan said: "Fortunately, big sister is no longer being tortured by them. They also asked for kindness and got it. Think about how they treated big sister in the past."

"That's right! I don't want to sympathize with them. If they were good, they would have tortured big sister." Rulan followed Minglan's words. "Let

's not talk about them. They ruined our interest. What's the matter between Molan and the Sixth Young Master of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion?" Hualan changed the subject. "

Oh~ Sixth Young Master Liang! I wonder which part big sister wants to hear?" Rulan said meaningfully.
