"That's not something to joke about. Your daughter is not the same as your brother or your nephew," Lady Zhang said to Lian Manman.
Lady Zhang's thinking was quite realistic. Riding a horse is not the same as taking a carriage or walking; in the eyes of tenant farmers, it inevitably carries risks. If a boy falls off a horse, it might not be a big deal. But for a girl, it's different. If she injures her face, it could be a major issue. Even injuring her hands or feet could be serious.
Simply put, girls rely on their appearance, while boys do not need to.
Although Lady Zhang was easygoing, Lian Manman knew there was no room for discussion about riding horses, so she didn't bring it up again, instead commenting on the beautiful scenery.
