Chapter 290 Going to the State Capital
Bai Xiaofeng wanted to follow, but Bang Ge'er was playing with his friends in the stream and slipped and fell into the stream. Although he was fine and was quickly rescued, he had a fever.
Xingxing prescribed medicine for Bangger in time, but even so, Bangger was still a little listless and not as lively as before.
People in the countryside call this a nightmare.
Xingxing prescribed sedatives for Bangger, but Liuger still persuaded Bai Xiaofeng to stay and take care of Bangger first.
"I'm going to take a test, not for anything else. I can't leave the examination room for nine days, and there's nothing to take care of." Liu Ge'er persuaded his mother.
Bai Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, and Bo Ge'er also said, "Second Aunt, don't worry. Our Yu Family Business also has a shop and a yard in the state capital. When Third Brother goes there, I promise to take good care of him, and not a single hair will be missing. Are you still worried?"
In the few years that Huai Ge'er was away, the children in the family grew up rapidly, especially Bo Ge'er, who almost single-handedly expanded the territory of the Yu family's store by many times.
Although Bai Xiaofeng said she didn't care about the family's money, she could feel that the family's conditions were getting better and better. This year, her parents wanted to buy a pair of oxen, and Mrs. Wei helped them buy two without saying a word.
Bai Xiaofeng knew all this clearly, and Bo Ge'er played a vital role in this.
Bai Xiaofeng was indeed relieved after hearing what Bo Ge'er said. She nodded and said, "Bo Ge'er, you can take care of your third brother. I won't go to the state capital."
Xingxing naturally has to go to the provincial capital.
My family is also very willing to this.
Xingxing is the lucky star of the Yu family. With a lucky star following Liu Ge'er, maybe Liu Ge'er can win the first place in the case again and become the top scholar!
So, in the end, Xingxing and Boger accompanied Liuger to the provincial capital.
Both Bo Ge'er and Liu Ge'er can ride horses. Although Xingxing can ride horses too, she is still young and has limited endurance. For safety reasons, Bo Ge'er arranged a carriage for Xingxing so that when Xingxing gets tired of riding, she can sit in the carriage and rest for a while.
The four guards from the Yu family store escorted Brother Bo, Brother Liu, and Xing Xing to the provincial capital.
The state capital was not too far from Mapo County. Even though Boger intentionally slowed down on the road, he still entered the city gate of the state capital on the third day.
Xing Xing was wearing a date red riding suit and breathable boots that were tight around her calves, making her look very heroic.
She rode her horse, slowly following behind Boger and Liuger, to the place arranged by Boger.
This is a small courtyard with two entrances that Bo Ge'er bought in the state capital, mainly for the Yu family to stay when they come to the state capital.
The yard was looked after by two maids.
When Boger and his friends came over, the courtyard had already been swept tidy.
The best part is that this small courtyard is not far from the venue of the provincial examination, and it only takes half an incense stick of time to walk there.
Xingxing felt that her second brother must have thought about it a long time ago.
Xingxing hadn't been to the provincial capital for a while, so during this trip, she was thinking about using her own pocket money to buy some things for her family.
——Speaking of this, if we were to ask who is the richest person in the Yu family, it would definitely be Xing Xing.
Xing Xing now has 50% of the profits of Yu's business in her hands.
Yes, fifty percent.
In the past few years, most of Xingxing's dividends were kept by Bo Ge'er for her, but in order to train Xingxing's accounting ability, Mrs. Wei let Xingxing manage part of the accounts herself since Xingxing turned eight years old.
Every year, Boger would give a portion of his dividends to Xingxing, and the money used to buy the mountain also came from this.
Xingxing now has several thousand taels of silver in her hands, not counting the jewelry she has, so she can be considered a wealthy woman. It is more than enough for her to buy gifts for her family.
Xingxing was taken by Boger's people to a jewelry store and bought some exquisite and beautiful jewelry.
Xingxing thought of the whole family and bought a lot.
She even thought of buying gifts for Grandma Daxi, Old Lady Liu, the old Taoist priest, and Wei Shiyan.
For a ten-year-old girl, she is very considerate.
When Bo Ge'er found out that Xing Xing used her own pocket money to buy gifts for the whole family, he was touched but also felt a little distressed.
——When he asked, it turned out that Xingxing didn’t buy anything for him.
Xing Xing counted on her fingers and said confidently: "My aunt gave me two sets of head ornaments before, but I haven't worn them yet. Master Liu has also given me several sets of jewelry before and after, but they are all in my box. I only have one head, how can I wear them? Wouldn't it be a waste to buy more?"
Bo Ge'er was very determined. Seeing that Liu Ge'er wanted to read at home, he pulled Xing Xing out and said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere. Just choose, I'll pay for you."
Xing Xing saw that Bo Ge'er was determined, and she smiled and said, "Okay, then I want to pick out a bracelet that matches my Buddhist beads."
Xing Xing raised her wrist, and her sleeves slid down, revealing the Buddhist beads on her wrist.
These Buddhist beads were given to her by the mysterious monk who saved Yu Luzi.
It has been seven years since she started wearing it when she was a little over three years old.
Xingxing was used to the Buddhist beads on her wrist, and she wanted to wear something else to match it with the beads to improve her mood.
Boger really likes Xingxing's character of accepting other people's kindness generously.
It makes people feel very comfortable in their hearts.
Bo Ge'er's smile widened: "Then let's go."
Boger brought Xingxing to an inconspicuous building.
The building looked like a teahouse, but as soon as Bo Ge'er entered, the waiter's eyes lit up and he came up to him with a smile: "Second Young Master Yu, long time no see."
Bo Ge'er nodded slightly and asked calmly, "Let's calculate the date. Is there a wedding this afternoon?"
The waiter smiled and nodded: "Yes, of course there is. Please, I will show you the way."
Xingxing was a little confused, but didn't say anything.
The waiter led Boger and Xingxing through a rustling bamboo forest in the backyard and came to a courtyard shaded by vines.
The courtyard looked a bit like a theater, and Xingxing looked around curiously.
The waiter respectfully brought Boger and Xingxing to a semi-open elegant room.
There were maids serving in the elegant room, helping to pour tea and bring snacks.
Xingxing sat down curiously, took a sip of the tea served by the maid, and her eyes lit up.
This tea is very good, slightly bitter at first, followed by a light sweet aftertaste.
"Second brother, are we here to drink tea?" Xingxing asked curiously.
Bo Geer smiled and pointed outside with his chin.
Facing these elegant rooms is a high platform in the middle that looks like a stage.
"You'll know in a moment." Bo Ge'er said with a smile.
Xingxing waited patiently.
Soon, a stone slab flipped down from under the platform through some unknown mechanism, and a man holding a golden box slowly rose from the stone platform.
Xing Xing's eyes widened.
