Chapter 305 Accompanying the Banquet

Xing Xing calculated the time. Bo Ge'er had told her that he had to deal with some business matters in the next few days, and they would leave for home the day after tomorrow. She would be able to accompany her third aunt to Wang's house the day after tomorrow, so she would have enough time!

Xing Xing also noticed that Wei San Niang and Jiang Meng Niang both wanted to attend the banquet. She was a very opinionated girl and responded readily: "Okay, there shouldn't be any problem."

When Bo Ge'er and Liu Ge'er saw Xing Xing agreed, the two brothers looked at each other but didn't say anything.

Wei Sanniang smiled happily: "With Xingxing accompanying me, I won't worry anymore!"

Jiang Mengniang also smiled and said, "Then Xingxing, come with us to go shopping tomorrow, and I'll buy you some jewelry."

That's how it's settled.

The next day, Xingxing accompanied Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang to go shopping.

Boger's subordinates placed a thick stack of investigation records in front of Boger.

After reading it, Bo Ge'er took the records in his hand and shook them, and said to Liu Ge'er: "...some of these are the intelligence we bought from Chaoyang Building at a high price a few days ago. Based on this intelligence, we also checked some things ourselves, and finally compiled them into this. Come, take a look too."

Bo Ge'er gave this information to Liu Ge'er.

After reading it, Liu Ge'er smiled faintly: "I didn't expect the Qin family's rise to wealth to be so exciting."

Bo Ge'er touched his chin and said, "Isn't it?... Now I am completely relieved. With these things in my hands, it's fine if the Qin family doesn't come out to make trouble. If they dare to show off in front of us, don't blame me for being rude."

The two brothers smiled at each other.

In the afternoon, when the Liu family's carriage took Xingxing home, Xingxing brought back a lot of things.

Xing Xing listed all the treasures on the table and showed them to Bo Ge'er and Liu Ge'er: "… this was bought for me by my third aunt, and this was bought for me by my cousin… I bought these by myself. My third aunt and my cousin tried to pay for me, but they couldn't beat me, so I just stuffed the banknotes into their pockets, haha."

Xingxing smiled with her eyebrows and eyes curved, obviously she was very happy.

She had previously put 20,000 taels of silver on Liu Ge'er, and the money she brought with her was almost gone. Both of her brothers, Bo Ge'er and Liu Ge'er, were scrambling to give money to Xing Xing.

Xingxing has to accept it, otherwise the two older brothers will be angry.

Seeing Xingxing happily buying so many things and smiling the whole time after getting home, the two brothers were very happy.

The third day was the day for the Osmanthus Feast.

Before leaving, Boger specifically mentioned the relationship between the Wang family and the Qin family to Xingxing. He didn't say anything else, only that in order to reassure them as brothers, he had transferred a girl from another place to Xingxing.

This girl was said to be the female leader of Boger's caravan, and she looked petite, pretty and slender. Then, in front of Xingxing, she smashed a brick with her bare hands.

Xingxing's little mouth opened into a round shape.

Bo Ge'er said earnestly, "I know you don't like to have maids follow you, but just think of it as a way to make us two brothers feel at ease and take Hu Ya with you."

Xing Xing looked at Hu Ya who was blowing the brick powder off her fist and nodded silently.

Brother Bo and Brother Liu personally sent Xingxing to Liu's house.

Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang both changed into their own new clothes, but they were both a little nervous and wore a lot of jewelry on their heads.

Xing Xing looked around, pulled out three gold hairpins from Wei Sanniang's head, and took off a heavy gold bracelet from her hand. Wei Sanniang looked a lot more refreshed.

Liu Yuanfeng slammed the table and said, "Mom, it looks much better this way!"

Wei Sanniang rolled her eyes at Liu Yuanfeng, then looked at herself in the mirror happily: "Our Xingxing is still good at dressing up."

Xingxing also put two jade combs on Jiang Mengniang's head and pinned a newly blooming rose picked from the yard in her hairpin, which made Jiang Mengniang's already pretty face even more charming.

Liu Yuanfeng's eyes widened as he praised her: "Madam is so beautiful!"

Jiang Mengniang glanced at Liu Yuanfeng with a moving look.

The family happily got on the carriage and headed for Huibei Alley.

Many female relatives came to the Wang family’s house today.

Xingxing and her friends handed the invitation to the doorman, who checked it and found nothing wrong with it, but told them apologetically that because the place at home was small, they could only bring a maid with them.

Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang didn't say anything and let Xingxing bring Huya in.

The Wang family owned a bank and had some assets. The scenery in the yard was nice, and Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang both enjoyed the view.

Xingxing is the most popular girl in the circle of wealthy families in Mapo County. Whenever someone holds a banquet, they like to invite Xingxing to attend.

Xingxing has met quite a few families, not to mention Old Lady Liu's Liu family villa.

In her eyes, the Wang family's courtyard was just okay.

But Xingxing is not such an impolite girl. She would never say such words to comment on anything.

She stayed obediently beside Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang and accompanied them to visit the garden.

"Ah, Yu Xingxing!"

An excited voice came from the corridor on one side.

Looking to the side of Xingxing is Li Lanzhu.

She waved to Li Lanzhu.

Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang also looked at Li Lanzhu.

Li Lanzhu saw Xingxing was too excited and couldn't help but call out. Only now did she notice that there was still a strange elder beside Xingxing.

A thought flashed through her mind: Could it be Yu Xingxing's mother and grandmother?

Isn't that Yu Er's...

Li Lanzhu's body froze.

Wei Sanniang didn't expect that Xingxing also had friends in the state capital. She exclaimed, "Ah," "Xingxing, is this your friend?"

Xing Xing tilted her head and thought.

Is she friends with that Sister Li?

Not sure.

"Probably... I guess." Xingxing replied hesitantly.

Wei Sanniang didn't quite understand what "should" meant.

However, seeing that the girl opposite seemed a little uncomfortable, Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang were tactful and asked Hu Ya to accompany Xing Xing to meet her friends. The two of them continued to stroll around the garden hand in hand.

Xing Xing walked slowly into the corridor, glanced at Wang Qian'er who was accompanying Li Lanzhu, and asked, "Sister Li, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?" Li Lanzhu tried to remain calm, but couldn't hide the blush on her face. "...those two people just now, was that you?"

"Oh," Xing Xing introduced, "They are my third aunt and my cousin."

When she heard that she wasn't Xingxing's grandmother, Li Lanzhu breathed a sigh of relief and became as lively and cheerful as usual: "You should have said so earlier!"

Xingxing was a little puzzled. What?

However, Li Lanzhu quickly passed over the topic. She asked Xingxing with great interest: "I haven't seen you in this state capital before. Is this your first time to come to the Wang family to appreciate the osmanthus flowers?"

She nodded her chin towards Xing Xing with some pride and said, "I can show you around."
