Chapter 55 Are you Minglan?
Polo is a sport that is very popular throughout the Zhou Dynasty.

When Minglan was in Yangzhou, he often played polo.

Even some details and gameplay of polo were taught to her by Wei Shuyi.

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

Sheng family.

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

Before setting off, Wei Shuyi couldn't help but remind her: "Your grandfather taught me how to play polo for my mother."

"Your uncle is also proficient in this. If you go on stage today, don't embarrass your uncle. But if you meet the children of dignitaries, remember to give way to them and don't cause any disputes."

Minglan nodded, "I understand, mother, my daughter is gone."

Recently, she has been studying with Zhuang Xuexue.

The desire to go out and play is unstoppable.

Wei Shu waved his hand and said, "Go find the eldest lady."

Afterwards, Minglan went to Wei Ruixuan to find Mrs. Wang.

At this time, Ru Lan, Mo Lan, Chang Feng and others have been waiting here for a long time.

Minglan hurriedly ran up to Wang Ruofu and said apologetically:

"Madam, Minglan is late."

Wang Ruofu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, now that we are all here, let's set off."

Because Sheng Changbai never liked games such as polo and pot throwing, he did not go this time.

When leaving the Sheng family, Mo Lan said dissatisfiedly:
"It's different that my uncle has gained power and made us wait for so long."

Minglan frowned slightly, "Fourth sister, I'm sorry, but my sister has never participated in such an occasion, and she feels a little timid."

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

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

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

Because Wang Ruofu's temperament is like this.

Give her a knife and she won't think of killing someone.

Soon, the Sheng family arrived at the polo field.

At this time, Ru Lan suddenly saw that there was a heroic woman in red in the stadium, playing polo with some female relatives and women.

"Minglan, look, that sister is so sassy! Even the woman can't help but feel happy when she sees her!"

Ru Lan shouted.

Minglan looked up for a moment and found that the woman in red was not only very good at polo, but the others seemed to want to let her down.

Don't dare to compete with her.

After going back and forth, the woman in red has scored many goals.

At this time, a woman stood beside everyone in the Sheng family and said:

"That is Zhang Guifen, the only daughter of the British Duke. Among us officials and children in Bianjing, who doesn't know her? Where did you come from? Even Sister Zhang doesn't know about her?"

There was a look of contempt for the Sheng family in everything he said.

Indeed, who among the nobles, or those from an official family with some power, has never seen Zhang Guifen?

I haven’t seen it before, which can only mean that I haven’t reached that level of contact yet.

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

However, Wang Ruofu didn't say anything. After all, it was his first time on such an occasion, and it would be bad if he offended any of the children of a prosperous family.

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

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

Yu Yanhong?
Granddaughter of Mr. Yu Ge?

Wang Ruofu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm a kid. I'm not guilty of any wrongdoing."

However, Yu Yanhong frowned deeply and said, "Yu Yanran, all the good people have done it for you!"

Yu Yanran held 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, but suddenly saw Gu Tingye's figure and ran over quickly.

"Brother Gu!"

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

Later, Mrs. Yongchangbo saw the Sheng family's queue and quickly waved to them, signaling them to come over.

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

Talk about playing polo.

It was just a friendship between nobles and officials.

Usually it is the children of the family who play polo.

Many couples in Bianjing met through this kind of polo club.

Wang Ruofu and his party sat at the end on the right side of Mrs. Yongchang Bo.

Counting ahead, there are several uncle's mansions, marquis' mansions and even the Duke's mansion.

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

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

It made her a little depressed.

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

"This daughter of a British prince is truly a woman who cannot be outdone by men, and she lives up to the reputation of being a tiger among generals."

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

"You don't know yet? The only daughter of the British royal family has already made an appointment with the newly promoted uncle."

"."

Hearing this, Princess Pingning, the Duke of Qi's wife, couldn't help but said curiously:

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

Mrs. Qin, the wife of Ningyuan Houfu, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Who else could be there besides him?"

When Wang Ruofu heard this, he smiled and said, "That General Wei has something to do 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 someday, you should invite him to come to my place for fun and play polo." Princess Pingning said: "I am going into battle to kill. How can the enemy's general 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 with 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, but 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.

When Rulan heard her words and deeds, she became very angry 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 power 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 immediately 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 get 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!"

Rulan 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 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: "Are you Minglan?"

After that, she came to Minglan, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, she held Minglan's hand affectionately and said with a smile:
"I have been busy these days learning how to be a female worker from the nuns in the palace. I didn't want to come here originally."

"But I heard that Mrs. Wu also invited your Sheng family. I guess you won't refuse when you first come to the capital."

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

 I have something to do tonight, so I will update a chapter earlier. 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 twelve o'clock in the morning. Please forgive me, it is so sudden. If something happens, I don’t mean to miss the update, but I will definitely make it up.
