"Don't waste your time here. It's not easy for you to get out. Just take a look around." Lady Hua Guo turned around and walked to the yard. But she stopped after a few steps. "I heard you are decorating the Prince Rui's mansion?"
Yun Shang nodded her head, "in fact, I don't really like the previous decorations. When Prince Rui is not around, I want to think about cleaning up the mansion and decorate it."
Lady Hua Guo nodded her head, and said softly, "if it's almost finished, you should throw a small banquet to celebrate it. You just came to the state of Xia not long ago, and I think that you may not know each other very well. But you'll gradually get familiar with the place, and you have to give yourself a chance to get familiar with it."
After a short silence, Yun Shang understood what Lady Hua Guo meant. If she wanted to get what she wanted, she should get familiar with the women in the backyard as soon as possible. Holding a banquet was also a good idea to get to know them.
"I will, grandma. But I'm not good at hosting a banquet before when I was in the State of Ning. And I'm afraid I'll have to bother you with it then." Yun Shang said with a smile.
"Give you some advices? Of course! Then I'm looking forward to seeing you often." As Lady Hua Guo waved to her maids, the maid helped her into her chamber.
Yun Shang thought for a while and walked out of the yard. There was still a bit of noise outside. It must be the servant who was packing up. When Yun Shang was thinking, she saw a little kid poking his head out from the pillar in the back of the corridor and staring at her with curious eyes.
"Fairy!" The little boy crooked his finger at Yun Shang. After a pause, he added, "Oh, no, my mother said
that I should call you aunt."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled softly, walked over, and bent down, "what's your name?"
The little boy laughed and said, "my name is Yan'er."
Yun Shang recalled the conversation she heard outside the chamber of Lady Hua Guo when she first came to the mansion of the state, and learned that the boy was the one who showed his character to Lady Hua Guo and said that his teacher praised him, but was disclosed by his sister.
"Why do you call me, Yan'er?" Yun Shang looked at him for a moment.
Yan'er said with a smile, "my mother said that my aunt's daughter must be as beautiful as my aunt. Could my aunt marry your daughter to me as my wife in the future?"
