Along the road, Lantian walked with her lips smiling without stopping. In the house of Yang, she didn't understand why Caihong was angry with her all of a sudden. Now, she found out the reason behind it. Of course, she noticed Caihong changed her expression after the name of Yang Ying was put in - and this made her very happy.
'She is jealous.' Lantian thought with a big smile over her face.
Actually, when she had left her house, she had gone to a jewelry store and bought a thing for Yang Ying to thank her for helping Caihong. Because she missed Caihong very much, she had sent Xiaolan to take the gift to give to Yang Ying, and she quickly went to the girl's house. Since she didn't tell, that was why Caihong misunderstood her; but it was a very good misunderstanding. Now, Lantian realized in the heart of Caihong there was her too.
However, there was another person didn't not comprehend and felt stupid about the story.
"Miss," Xiaolan said, "if you want to know the birthday of young lady Yang, why don't you ask her directly? Why did you say that to her?"
Hearing this question, Lantian sensed that this young maid was slow. In fact, she didn't need to explain to her, but she should answer her questions.
"If I asked her directly, it would not have been stunning," she said.
Xiaolan shrank her eyes, "Just asking about birthday, why does it have to be stunning?"
"It's called a taste of romance. You are still a kid, you can't understand."
"I really cannot understand." Xiaolan shook her head.
"One day, you will. Now, get two horses."
"Miss, where do you want to go? Eldest madam told you to go back home."
"I remember. It's not evening yet. Hurry up. We'll go to the farm."
Xiaolan thought that her mistress was putting trouble on herself again, but still she could not do anything besides following her instruction.
After getting the horse, Lantian rode it fast towards the vegetable farm, with Xiaolan went after.
"Third miss," an elderly man bowed.
"Uncle, our farm has bat guano, doesn't it?" Lantian said.
"Yes, but we used it all."
"Why don't you get it more?"
"Usually, our workers went to collect it to use in the farm. But in the last few days, I saw the roof of the dining room was old, so I called some workers to repair it, however who knows, it was very old and tender; it broke making the workers wound."
"Are they fine?"
"They didn't get serious injuries. I informed the main house and third madam already sent the doctor to treat them."
"Good." Lantian wagged her head. "And other workers? Why don't you tell them to get the guano?"
"Most workers we remain are women. We still have a few men, but they don't know how to do it. So, we only have to wait for the wounded workers to get well, then I will tell them to get it."
"It will be late if we wait for them," Lantian stated. "I will go to get it myself. Xiaolan, you go to take the stuff and go with me."
Xiaolan said yes then went after the old man to get equipment and materials; after that, she jumped on the horse to accompany her young mistress.
While riding, she asked, "Miss, where are we going?"
"To the jungle to get the bat guano," Lantian replied.
"Why do you go to take it by yourself?"
"Don't you hear? The workers are wounded and the bat guano runs out of stock."
"But their injuries are not serious, they will be well soon."
"If we wait until they get well, Caihong's flowers will die."
"So, you go to collect bat guano for young lady Yang! I thought you do it for the farm, but in fact, you do it for a woman."
"My mother is the owner of the farm, she is a woman as well."
"But miss, how can we do it? We don't know and we don't have experience."
"There is a first time for everything. You don't need to be worried, just follow my lead."
After speaking, Lantian sped her horse, and Xiaolan had to push her animal to catch up.
