Jia Lan looked at Yu Yanran with some confusion, who had obviously cried. Since he didn't know this person, he had to turn around: "Sixth sister? And this one... who are you?"
Minglan hurriedly said: "Brother Lan, I'm here to find you. There is really something I can only ask you to help me with."
After saying that, Minglan introduced the woman beside her to Jia Lan, the granddaughter of Yuge's hometown who returned home after serving as an official.
"Mr. Yu Ge?" Jia Lan looked at Yu Yanran with a strange expression.
The girl in front of me was so elegant and elegant, and she looked like I felt pity for her. She seemed very different from the other girl from the Yu family I just met.
Looking at the people walking around and their eyes focused on her, Minglan gradually hesitated to speak.
"You two, please come with me."
Seeing this, Jia Lan simply led the two of them up the steps to the Jia Mansion to sit down.
Although Minglan and Yu Yanran were anxious, they still did not dare to forget the etiquette, and first met with Sister Feng and others separately.
Daiyu looked at the two of them curiously with her beautiful eyes.
"Sister Yanran comes to see me if she has something to do. Let's go to the side and talk in detail."
"Just say it here." Yu Yanran said at this time.
"Sister Yanran?" Minglan's eyes widened slightly.
"That's it." Yu Yanran, who had calmed down a little, said a blessing to Sister Feng and others: "I'm ashamed to say that Yanran really has something to ask for when I come here this time..."
It turns out that Yu Yanran is the eldest granddaughter of Mr. Yu Ge. Unfortunately, her mother died after giving birth to her.
A year later, his father got married and gave birth to Yu Chengsi and Yu Yanhong, the brothers and sisters of the Yu family who had just been by Wu Shenyan's side.
Yu Yanran's stepmother is either not easy to get along with, or she doesn't want to see Yu Yanran who is doted on by the Yu Ge couple, so Yu Yanran's life is a bit difficult.
Especially the relationship between siblings, Yu Chengsi is better. Taking advantage of her sister's soft temper, Yu Yanhong often bullies Yu Yanran in different ways. The latter feels sorry for her grandparents because they are old and can't stand the trouble, so they just tolerate it.
Don’t say anything.
The people in the house also served food to others, so Yu Yanhong naturally became the target for the servants and ladies to vent their anger.
I'm missing some pocket money today, and I'm going to lose some items tomorrow.
In less than seven or eight years, half of the dowry left by Yan Hong’s mother was gone.
What made Yu Yanran even more heartbroken was that a jewelry box left by her mother was turned out by Yu Yanhong. There was a gold and ebony hairpin filled with water, which Yu Yanhong took out and said that it was just the right time to donate it to the Beginning of Spring.
The jackpot of a football game.
Sister Feng Danfeng narrowed her eyes slightly: "So, do you want Brother Lan to help you retrieve the hairpin?"
Yu Yanran nodded: "Because it is the property of her dead mother, Yanran tried every means to get it back. Today I have no choice but to ask my brother Jia..."
After listening to Yu Yanran's words, everyone had different expressions.
"That's too much..." A drop of crystal flashed from the corner of Daiyu's eyes, "That's your mother's..."
Having lost her mother in her early years, she has some sympathy for Yu Yanran's experience.
After hearing this, Sanchun's face all looked sad, Xiangyun's eyes were also red, and Jia Huan was so angry that if Tanchun hadn't been holding him down, he would have cursed immediately.
Only Baoyu stared blankly at Yu Yanhong, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jia Lan also sympathized with Yu Yanran's experience, frowned and thought for a while: "The difficult thing now is that since the lottery has been presented, there is absolutely no way to get it back."
Baochai on the side also said: "That's right. If it is an ordinary item, at most you can spend a sum of money to redeem it later, but now it looks like this... Miss Yu, have you ever seen that hairpin?"
, is it really in the lottery?"
Yu Yanran nodded: "I just saw it with my own eyes."
"Then this will be difficult to handle." Baochai sighed: "Go and get it back at this time, the face of the imperial court and the face of the Yu family..."
"I just worry about my elderly grandfather and grandmother, so I don't want things to get out of hand." Yu Yanhong wiped away tears again as she thought about her sadness.
Baochai looked at Yu Yanran with sympathy on his face, but for the time being, he really didn't have any good ideas.
"That's all we can do now!" (Sister Yanhong, I have a way!)
Jia Lan and Minglan suddenly spoke at the same time. Yu Yanran was startled, looked at Jia Lan, and then at Minglan.
Time was running out, so Jia Lan said: "Let me say it first, we only have one way at the moment, and that is the next game..."
"Win the hairpin back!" Minglan said with surprise in her eyes, and then finished the words perfectly.
Jia Lan looked at Minglan in surprise.
Sister Feng laughed, looked at the two of them and said playfully: "This is indeed a method. You two figured it out at the same time, so you are a match."
Daiyu looked at Minglan, who had bright eyes and white teeth, and then at Jia Lan, and she gritted her teeth unconsciously.
"However..." Sister Feng stretched out a finger and shook it: "If you are in such a hurry, where can you find someone who can play polo?
Lang Geer, this is not what it used to be. When your aunt and I were five or six years old, the polo team of Ningrong's second mansion was a winning team in Beijing!
But over the years, the good masters in the mansion have been getting old and gone, and now there is no one left.
Where are you looking for it now?"
Hearing this, the hope that had just risen was extinguished again, and Yu Yanran looked sad.
At this point, she also knew that the matter was no longer manageable, and there would be no change if she continued to struggle with it.
"No, there is still hope." Jia Lan looked at everyone.
"We can really try to win the hairpin back in the next game."
Sister Feng looked at Jia Lan: "Even if you have good skills, polo is not a one-person sport."
Jialan smiled: "Of course you can't win a formal game, but if it's just a four-person polo match..."
Minglan's eyes lit up.
Yes, we definitely don’t have enough people for a formal eight-person competition, but for a small four-person competition, maybe...
Jia Lan turned around and looked at Jia Baoyu, who had been silent.
"Uncle Bao, I wonder if you would like to play the game with me?"
Although Jia Baoyu was full of emotions in the past, he was also a descendant of martial arts who could ride a horse and draw a bow.
Although the accuracy of the bow and arrow is not to be praised, Baoyu's riding skills are impressive.
Moreover, as far as Jia Lan knows, Baoyu can also play polo, and his personal servant Mingyan's polo skills are quite good.
Everyone immediately focused on Baoyu.
"I don't want it!"
To everyone's surprise, Jia Baoyu immediately shook his head, with a look of reluctance on his face, and refused resolutely.
"Second uncle, my nephew begs you to lend a helping hand. Time waits for no one." Jia Lan cupped his hand.
Headed by Tanchun to welcome the spring, Xiangyun successively spoke to persuade Baoyu to help.
Daiyu, on the other hand, remained silent, her gaze always fixed on Minglan's face.
Feeling Daiyu's gaze, Minglan looked over, blinked curiously, and smiled at Daiyu.
Daiyu smiled back, then looked at the bustling crowd and sighed in her heart.
[It seems there is no hope...]
【Oops!】
Jia Lan also reacted at this time and shouted in his heart that it was not good.
Sure enough, given Daiyu's understanding of the phoenix egg, several people's advice in turn aroused Baoyu's rebellious psychology.
[Nonsense! You want me to play polo with Jialan, no way.]
Jia Baoyu was very repulsive about cooperating with Jia Lan, and no amount of persuasion was in use.
