Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Lady Yingguo saw two girls coming towards her from afar and asked with a smile, "Isn't this Yanran from Old Master Yu's family?"

She didn't meet Minglan, she only greeted Yanran.

Yanran bowed respectfully to Lady Yingguo and introduced her, "This is Minglan, the sixth daughter of the Sheng family in Jiying Lane."

Minglan also bowed to her and greeted her. Lady Yingguo nodded in return and asked Yanran, "You haven't come to my house to play with Fen'er for a long time. So you found someone else to play with?"

The Duke of England was over 30 when she had this daughter. She treasured her like a baby and took her with her wherever she went. She also kept a close eye on her daughter's close friends, fearing that they would lead her astray. Therefore, she knew very well how long Yanran had not visited Guifen.

Yanran's face flushed. It wasn't that she didn't want to play with Zhang Guifen, but every time she came back from the Duke of Ying's mansion, her third sister and her daughter would laugh at her for climbing up the social ladder. After being told so many times, she didn't like to go anymore. But how could she say this reason?

Minglan came to Yanran's rescue and said, "Madam, Sister Yanran has been embroidering a large painting of birds paying homage to the phoenix at home recently. If I hadn't helped her frame it, I would have missed seeing her."

The Duchess of England nodded, then frowned and asked, "Why are you embroidering that?"

Yanran: "My mother wanted it."

Lady Yingguo knew Yanran's rough life and sighed, "Why don't you ask Lingjinyuan to do such a complicated embroidery? Why do you have to let your daughter work so hard? How can you be a legitimate mother?"

She loved her own daughter, so she also cherished other people's daughters and could not bear to hear girls suffer.

Yanran felt warm at heart when she heard this and smiled gratefully at the Duchess of England.

The Duke of England's wife realized that there was a reason why she didn't come to see Guifen, so she stopped blaming her and pointed to a seat nearby and said, "Fen'er has gone to change her clothes. You guys sit down and she will be back soon."

Sure enough, within half a cup of tea, Zhang Guifen came back in a hurry, holding a bow and arrow, ready to go hunting. Seeing Yanran here, she was surprised and asked, "Why are you here!"

She had never thought as much as her mother about Yanran's long disappearance. Although the Duke of England was angry in her heart, she did not tell Guifen about her suspicions, so Guifen was even more relaxed and allowed her friends to come and go as they pleased, very casually.

Yanran learned the art of speaking from Minglan and said to Guifen, "I've finally finished the embroidery of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. Now I have time to go out for a walk."

Guifen said cheerfully, "You actually made this kind of embroidery yourself? I want to see it some other day!"

Yanran: "I know you don't like these, otherwise I would have shown them to you a long time ago."

Guifen raised her eyebrows: "I don't like female workers, but I like to look at good-looking female workers!" Her eyes fell on Minglan and asked: "Who is this?"

Yanran introduced her again, and Minglan said, "Miss Zhang is very heroic and must be a good polo player!"

Seeing that Yanran had been beating around the bush with the mother and daughter of the British Duke and didn't dare to ask for help, she had to speak up herself.

Gui Fen said, "I can't say I'm a good player, but I can definitely win a few points."

Minglan took a step closer and said, "Sister Yanran's late mother left a legacy, which is now the prize on the polo field, a nine-turn golden hairpin. Sister Yanran wants to win it back, but her own brother is with her third sister and also wants to win the hairpin."

Guifen knew that Yanran had always been bullied by her two younger brothers and sisters. She snorted and said, "As long as I'm here, they can't win."

She looked carefully at the people on both sides of the field who were preparing, and then asked, "Why do they look like a male and female team?"

Minglan: "That's right."

Gui Fen frowned: "I'm not a man, how can we fight?"

Minglan leaned close to her ear and whispered for a long time. Guifen couldn't help laughing: "Sheng Minglan, you are so smart!"

The Duchess of England became a little anxious when she heard this: "What have you come up with?" She stared at Minglan threateningly.

After Guifen told Minglan her idea, the hostility of the Duke of England's wife immediately turned into a smile, and she nodded in approval to Minglan.

The assembly drum sounded for the third time on the field.

Minglan and Guifen each came on stage holding a horse harness, followed by two guards from the British government.

Miss Yu San was startled and said to Mr. Yu Er beside her: "Brother, they are not going to let those two guards go into battle, are they? They are guards of the British public, they can fight in the battlefield, right?"

Master Yu also broke out in a cold sweat and tried to comfort him, "He is just a guard. He should... he should not be good at riding a horse..."

Madam Wu stepped forward and said to Zhang Guifen, "Oh, my dear Miss Zhang, there are so many good guys on the field, why do you still want two guards to team up with you?"

Zhang Guifen smiled and said, "We were originally thinking that the two of us could play, but since the rules are so irregular, we'll just bring two people in to make up the numbers. Madam, please rest assured, we won't let them play."

Madam Wu looked at the petite Minglan beside Zhang Guifen and couldn't help laughing: "You guys? Go up by yourselves?"

Zhang Guifen pulled Minglan's hand and said with a smile, "Madam Wu, do you think we are still looked down upon?"

How could Madam Wu do that? She was the best at winning people over, and she immediately said in a serious tone, "What are you talking about? What British dukes don't have to show off? I'm just worried that you'll get tired playing against two people. Just go to the court and call me whenever you need me. My skills are also pretty good."

Guifen and Minglan bowed and thanked Madam Wu together.

After a while, Minglan and Guifen came on the court each holding a golf club of a different color. The golf clubs that matched them were held in the hands of two guards, but they just stood beside the horses and did not enter the court.

Mrs. Wu returned to the center of the arena and lit the incense sticks herself. The singer standing by understood and gestured to the leader holding the gongs and drums on the other side.

The gong clanged and the competition began.

Guifen and Minglan were like two firecrackers, fired out of the gun with a whoosh. The wind they created blew the grass on the field into all directions. The other contestants were stunned for two breaths before they spurred their horses. Minglan and Guifen were already driving the ball close to the goal.

"Sheng family's Xiaoliu, you can do it!" Guifen was very excited. She rarely met a woman who could compete with her on horseback.

"Miss Zhang, thank you very much!" Minglan was also very happy. In her previous life, her favorite thing was to ride horses with Guifen.

The two of them were trying to force each other to hit the ball. Suddenly, Minglan loosened her grip and used the round end of her cue to kick the ball along with Guifen's force. Just as she was about to swing and hit the ball, Guifen got there first. The gong rang again, and the chanter said loudly:

"Blue team, one point!"

Guifen laughed at Minglan and said, "This is what they call the devil is one foot high, but the way is ten feet higher!"

Minglan pretended to be angry: "Master! Don't be too happy too soon!"

The two of them were laughing and scrambling for the ball back and forth, and the other people on the field couldn't even touch the shadow of the ball.

Madam Wu cheered loudly. Qi Heng pointed at the court and stared in astonishment: "She...she...when did she learn to ride a horse? Didn't she know how to ride a horse?"

Gu Tingye was so engrossed in watching that he ignored her. Chang Feng answered while drinking, "She has been able to do it since she was a child. Her grandmother taught her."
