Chapter 226: Chapter 208, Flourishing and Magnificent_1
The Dong Family’s pleasure boat was large, with the first-floor cabin divided by screens into two parts, one side was for men to drink tea and chat, the other for the ladies to joke and have fun.
Going out for fun, the point was to be happy, and since everyone present was from acquainted families, people were less restrained than usual, making the whole cabin lively and bustling.
On the deck, Dong Jiancheng watched his eldest son come over with a group of spirited young men and said with a smile to Yan Zhigao beside him, “Youth really is wonderful, carefree and without worries, truly a joyful thing.”
Yan Zhigao smiled and nodded, “Indeed, the times of youth are always nostalgic.”
Dong Jiancheng’s gaze swept over the crowd and finally landed on the ‘young man’ leading the Ferghana horse, his eyes twinkling quickly.
The Little Prince really treated the Yan Family differently.
Ferghana horses are rare, not something money can necessarily buy, and yet one was just given to a young girl.
In the cabin, everyone also noticed the group of young men approaching them, with the ladies from various families starting to whisper and inquire about the origins of these young men, and the girls began to discuss quietly among themselves.
“Isn’t that Miss Dong? Why is she dressed as a man again?”
“She’s leading a horse, she must be going horseback riding.”
“The black horse she’s leading is so pretty, and the white horse and the chestnut horse being led by the two beside her, you can tell at a glance that they’re top-notch horses.”
“I heard there’s a racecourse behind the manor, are they going there to ride?”
“Isn’t that area restricted to outsiders?”
“Don’t you know? Brother Dong and Brother Su are the Little Prince’s study companions, they must have been taken there by the Little Prince.”
“Look quickly, aren’t the two young masters walking beside Brother Dong the ones who helped clear the boats at the port before?”
“Really, I wonder which family they’re from?”
…
“Brother Xiaoliu, take care of Daohua. After he gets on the boat, if he feels uncomfortable, feed him some grass,” said Zhou Jingwan, passing the horse reins to Qin Xiaoliu as she prepared to go meet the elders of the families on the neighboring Dong Family’s pleasure boat with Dong Yuanxuan and the others.
Qin Xiaoliu affectionately patted Daohua’s back and said with a smile, “Miss, don’t worry, I’ll make sure Daohua is well taken care of.” A Ferghana horse, after all, a splendid horse like this, he had to look after it carefully.
It was all because he followed the young lady; otherwise, he feared he might never see such a prized horse in his life, much less come into such close contact and take care of one.
Zhou Jingwan also handed her horse reins to the servants.
“Let’s go!”
Seeing that the two had finished their preparations, Dong Yuanxuan smiled and led the group to his family’s pleasure boat.
After boarding the boat, Dong Yuanxuan and the others first paid their respects to the male elders of the various families, with Zhou Jingwan following behind the older ones to perform the courtesies.
After the greetings, the elders began to examine Dong Yuanxuan and the others on their studies.
Dong Yuanyao found it boring, so she took Zhou Jingwan and another through the screens to the ladies’ side.
The moment the three entered, they were greeted with curious looks from the madams and misses of the various families.
“My, where did these three handsome young lads come from?”
Madam Dong, seated in the place of honor, looked at the three with a smiling expression.
“Madam Dong, you’re teasing again!”
Zhou Jingwan had visited the Dong Residence and knew Madam Dong, so she immediately joined in with a smile. Upon seeing her mother, Madam Zhou, she showed surprise, “Mother, what are you doing here?”
