The little girl inside the carriage, hearing the lively conversation below, lifted the curtain to look at Manbao. Seeing that she was even younger, she beckoned and said, "Come over and keep me company with some chatter."
Manbao ran up immediately and glanced at the horse wagging its tail before asking, "May I touch your horse?"
The little girl was clearly taken aback by the request, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded, "If you like, go ahead and touch it."
Manbao ran to the front to pet the horse while the little girl's attention shifted forward. She said, "Why don't you come up and talk to me in the carriage?"
The coachman was about to pick up Manbao when Wulang, who had been watching the situation, quickly stepped in to block him, pulling Manbao behind him, "There's no need for her to climb aboard; we can talk just like this. What's the need to get on?"
