Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Two days later, Zhan Yi came to the Tang residence again.

Tang Wan met Zhan Yi in the flower hall as before, opened the wooden box for Zhan Yi to look at, then closed the lid and said gently to Zhan Yi, "Thank you for your help, guard. Please tell the prince that everything is in order."

Zhan Yi presented the box containing the silver notes that the Prince had prepared with both hands: "This is what His Highness ordered me to give to the Second Miss."

Tang Wan took it, casually opened it, and glanced at it. It turned out to be a silver note. She smiled slightly, nodded, and accepted it.

Zhan Yi successfully completed his mission and bowed to take his leave.

That night, the bells rang.

The War King's deep voice rang out: "The items have been received. Thank you for your hard work, Wan'er."

"I'm glad you're satisfied," Tang Wan replied.

Tang Wan paused for a moment, then continued, "When I was counting, I noticed that the number of bells seemed to be slightly off?"

From the other end of the bell came a barely audible chuckle from the War King, who then said, "Wan'er is indeed meticulous; a pair is indeed missing. That pair of bells is still in the Northern Desert."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan smiled and replied, "Oh, I understand."

"However, I have already dispatched a fast horse today to send the pair of communication bells that you just blessed to the northern desert to replace the other pair. Once the old pair of bells is returned to the capital, I'm afraid Wan'er will have to go through the trouble of blessing them again," the War King explained gently.

Tang Wan naturally had no objection and softly agreed, "It's alright, you can arrange it."

Regardless of their current relationship, the subsequent enhancements were also planned in advance when the War King bought the bell.

Moreover, blessing consumes spiritual energy, but spiritual energy is not depleted after it is consumed, so it doesn't matter.

After finishing their discussion about the bell, the War King shifted the topic to the flower banquet: "How are the preparations for the flower banquet at the Duke of Anguo's mansion tomorrow?"

Tang Wan smiled and replied, "There's nothing to prepare. I'll just go with my mother and sister."

All that's needed to prepare are clothes, jewelry, and etiquette.

These past few days, while preparing, Mother Wang has been explaining to them some precautions for attending various banquets.

The mother was worried about the maidservants around her and gave them special instructions again and again.

Especially the maids around her and her sister, they had no experience in this area.

My sister didn't take her personal maid with her to the northern desert. I don't know where she is now. Her own maid, Zhuxi, was with her, but she was exiled just a few days after coming down from the mountain. She never attended any banquets outside, let alone her maid.

However, according to my understanding, it's not a big deal. As long as there are no mistakes in etiquette, I can be careful about the rest. It's best to go with my mother and sister; there shouldn't be any problems.

Hearing Tang Wan say this, the War King said, "Following your mother and sister is indeed a solution, but there will be many people and distractions at the banquet tomorrow, so it's best to be cautious."

The more she talked, the more uneasy she became. Although she could go with her mother and sister tomorrow, since those two had more experience at banquets, there were many people around, and she didn't know who they were. How could she feel at ease?

Although the Duchess of Anguo hosted the banquet for herself and Wan'er, others did not know this. The Duchess of Anguo would naturally not make things difficult for the Tang family or Wan'er. But what if there were some blind fools?

Tang Wan naturally sensed the War King's worry, so she smiled and comforted him, "I understand, don't worry, you know my abilities, don't you?"

Although I've never attended a flower banquet, everyone is the same, and I'm not incompetent. I can handle things as they come. I'll deal with whatever comes my way, and I shouldn't scare myself before I even encounter it.

The two chatted for a while longer, until late at night, before reluctantly hanging up the bell.

...The next day, as dawn broke, there was already movement inside the Tang family mansion.

Wang Shi attached great importance to the flower banquet at the Duke of Anguo's mansion today, and got up early to urge the preparations.

Tang Wan and Tang Jing were also woken up by the maid and helped with washing and dressing.

Wang was worried and came to see her daughters in person, carefully considering their attire.
After they were dressed, Madam Wang gave them another instruction, still worried: "When you go to the Duke of Anguo's mansion today, be sure to be careful with your words and actions. Old Madam Feng is a very knowledgeable elder, and the rules in her household are strict. Stay close to me, speak less and observe more. When you get along with the other young ladies, be polite, but don't be too casual."

"Yes, Mother, your daughter understands," Tang Jing and Tang Wan replied in unison.

After having breakfast, Wang took her two daughters and went out.

The Duke of Anguo's mansion is simple and quiet, but today, thanks to this flower-viewing banquet, it is more lively than usual.

There weren't many invited guests. Besides the Tang family mother and her two daughters, there were several other ladies from families that had been on good terms with the Duke of Anguo's family for generations or were related by marriage, who also brought their children of marriageable age.

In addition to the unmarried young ladies and young gentlemen of the Duke of Anguo's main family, there were more than twenty people in total.

When Madam Wang arrived with Tang Jing and Tang Wan, several other ladies and young women had already arrived.

After being informed, Lady Feng, the wife of the Duke of Anguo, had someone lead them over.

As Madam Feng was talking with two old friends who had arrived earlier, she saw Madam Tang and her party enter and looked over with a smile.

"Madam Tang has arrived, please come in." The Duchess of Anguo said in a gentle voice. Her attitude was friendly, and she seemed to know her very well, but in reality, Madam Wang and Madam Feng had not met much before.

Feng rarely went out to socialize, and the people she visited were mostly old acquaintances and people in the palace.

The Tang family is considered a newly wealthy family and doesn't have much interaction with these established noble families.

Madam Feng looked at the Tang sisters, nodded and smiled, "These two must be the young ladies of your household? They are indeed beautiful and have a refined demeanor."

She spoke naturally, her gaze sweeping over the two sisters, lingering a moment longer on Tang Wan, before turning to Madam Wang and exchanging pleasantries, asking if her journey was smooth and praising Madam Tang for raising her daughter so well.

Wang Shi, who had been on edge, relaxed considerably because of the natural and proper attitude of Lady Feng, the wife of the Duke of Anguo.

She smiled and greeted them politely, then introduced her two daughters to the other ladies she knew present.

Tang Jing and Tang Wan stepped forward politely, curtsied, and greeted the guests with graceful manners and appropriate responses. The ladies naturally introduced their daughters to each other.

The two sisters quickly integrated into the young ladies' circle.

Before long, the War King arrived.

He stood tall and walked with a steady gait, appearing exceptionally aloof and striking among the group of young men in fine clothes.

His arrival naturally attracted considerable attention, especially from the young ladies. Although they dared not openly stare at him, many of their eyes secretly drifted over.

The King of War first bowed and greeted Madam Feng, who was seated in the main seat, and several other elderly ladies with a respectful attitude.

Madam Feng naturally wouldn't let him be so polite, and quickly stopped him, saying with a smile, "Today is just for you young people to relax, enjoy the flowers, and have a chat. You don't need to keep this old woman company."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Madam Feng, the Prince of War was led away by the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo, who was also the eldest grandson of Old Madam Feng.

He had a mission today: to make sure he took good care of the person in front of him. (End of Chapter)
