Chapter 467: Sharing the Beauty of the Moon from a Thousand Miles Away

Yu Yongbai thought that he probably knew where Zhou Yunyi got the silver to buy the three pieces of warm jade.

Did you really borrow it from Gong Qingniang?

This Mr. Zhou is truly a remarkable man!

Zhou Yunyi left angrily, and Wang Jiajia naturally left in a hurry as well.

Yu Yongbai couldn't help but look at Gong Qingniang, but Gong Qingniang didn't take the farce seriously at all. She just looked at the sugar figurine on the ground with a look of regret, muttering: "This sugar figurine is so cute, it's perfect for Xingxing! Damn Zhou Yunyi, he only knows how to ruin good things!"

Yu Yongbai's silence was deafening.

Xing Xing just happened to go with Yu Yongliu to the stall in the alley to buy some printed comic books. When she came back and heard what had just happened, she puffed up her cheeks in anger and sighed, "The wife of the Marquis of Weibei is such a good person, how could she have such a troublesome grandson."

Xing Xing then asked Gong Qing Niang: "Sister Gong, do you want to wait here for Zhou Yunyi to come back and pay the money?"

Gong Qingniang laughed: "Why wait for him? It's a waste of our time. If he can't pay back the six thousand taels in one day, he has to pay me one hundred taels of interest. He should be the one who is anxious. Let's go and have our own fun. Don't let that scoundrel ruin our fun."

Xingxing deeply agrees with this.

The four of them continued walking forward happily.

Unexpectedly, he met Cen Yueyi's cousin Song Shouqing, who came from Suyang and had previously sent Xingxing home.

Song Shouqing called out "Sister Yu" excitedly, holding a rabbit lantern in his hand, and ran over like a gust of wind.

Song Shouqing was indeed a young man from a family of scholars, and he was very polite. Although he ran like a gust of wind, when he was still a few steps away from Xingxing and the others, Song Shouqing stopped and bowed to Yu Yongbai and Yu Yongliu in a serious manner:

"Second Brother Yu, Third Brother Yu."

Very well-educated.

Having just met Zhou Yunyi, a man of noble birth but extremely rude and rogue, now meeting Song Shouqing, a handsome and well-mannered young man, the contrast was so terrible that Zhou Yunyi was directly crushed into the mud.

Even Gong Qingniang showed an expression of approval towards Song Shouqing's courtesy and nodded.

"Are you out here to play by yourself?" Yu Yongbai asked Song Shouqing.

Song Shouqing said solemnly: "Yes, I originally came out with my cousin, but by chance, I ran into Brother Yu at the entrance of the alley... Anyway, I am not a child anymore, so I brought my servants with me."

Understood, everyone understood, and they smiled knowingly at each other.

So, Xingxing and her team had one more member, Song Shouqing.

Yu Yongbai and Yu Yongliu's faces gradually turned unhappy - it was because Song Shouqing kept hanging around Xingxing, asking her if she liked the lantern, then buying some snacks and asking her if she wanted to eat them, and after a while, he started talking to Xingxing about the Lantern Festival in Suyang. It happened that Song Shouqing came from a scholarly family, and his stories were very fascinating, so Xingxing's curious eyes never left this bad boy.

Gong Qingniang couldn't help but hold back her laughter when she saw Yu Yongbai, whose face was no better than the bottom of a hot pot.

Looking at Yu Yongliu, he wasn't much better.

The smile that had been on his face had now faded and could no longer be seen.

The two older brothers pursed their lips.

Gong Qingniang's shoulders were shaking from trying so hard to hold back her laughter.

When it was getting late and everyone was going back home, Song Shouqing still felt a little reluctant to leave and wanted to make an appointment with Xingxing for next time.

Yu Yongbai and Yu Yongliu said in unison: "We'll talk about it later!"

Song Shouqing didn't understand what he meant, but he still nodded politely and said "OK".

Gong Qingniang held back her laughter and pinched Xingxing's little face.

Xingxing hadn't grown up yet, but she was already so beautiful and had a very likable personality. She didn't dare to think about how many pigs would want to eat this little cabbage if Xingxing grew up and reached the age of marriage.

By then, Yu Heixin’s face would turn so pale!

Thinking of this, Gong Qingniang couldn't help but look at Yu Yongbai and smiled meaningfully.

Yu Yongbai: “…”

Although he didn't quite understand why Gong Qingniang suddenly stared at him and smiled, he always felt that she seemed to be holding back some bad intentions.

Yu Yongbai, however, talked about serious matters with Gong Qingniang.

"You had an unpleasant quarrel with your brothers and sisters at home because of the flower lantern incident... Is it really unrelated?" Yu Yongbai asked Gong Qingniang.

Gong Qingniang's smile faded a little, and she said with a bit of indifference: "Let them be."

She was obviously a little annoyed when she thought about this, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

Yu Yongbai hesitated to speak, not knowing how to persuade her.

When he had been having a hard time with Gong Qingniang before, he had naturally done some research on the Gong family's affairs.

It is said that the Gong family was originally a prominent family with great wealth and status.

Later, his descendants failed to live up to their expectations and the family fell into decline, eventually to the point where they had to sell the family property for a living.

But the Gong family still thought they were a century-old prestigious family. Even though they were poor, they still put on airs. They did not produce anything and had no income. It was said that they lived in great poverty for a long time.

Later, after the eldest son of the Gong family died after being bedridden for many years and with no medical help, the only daughter of the Gong family, Gong Qingniang, stepped forward and went out to do business. She started with a small shop, and slowly, the Gong family's life got better.

To put it bluntly, the entire Gong family was raised by Gong Qingniang.

When Yu Yongbai heard what his subordinates had found out, he just thought that the Gong family was a little ridiculous and didn't have much other feelings.

Now that I have more contact with Gong Qingniang, when I think back to what I investigated before, I feel somewhat mixed emotions.

After parting with Gong Qingniang, Song Shouqing and the others, Xingxing's face was still rosy, and the Fengzhu that Yu Yongliu had helped her hold was back in her hand. The little girl held the lantern, and the starry sky and the lanterns hanging on the street were reflected in her eyes. For a moment, she didn't know whether the stars were brighter or the lanterns were more charming.

"Brother Yan and the old Taoist priest are living in seclusion in the mountains. I wonder if they have lanterns." Xingxing murmured.

Yu Yongbai touched Xingxing's head and asked, "Are you thinking about Shiyan?"

Xing Xing whispered, "Yes. It makes me sad to think that on such a wonderful festival, Brother Yan can only be alone in the mountains with the old Taoist priest."

She looked at the Phoenix Pearl in her hand and suddenly asked Yu Yongliu, "Third brother, you won this Phoenix Pearl for me. It is the most beautiful lantern in the capital. Can I send it to Brother Yan?"

Yu Yongliu smiled and said, "This lantern has already been given to Xingxing, so it naturally belongs to Xingxing. Xingxing has the final say."

Xing Xing exclaimed, "Wow!" "Third brother is so nice!"

Xing Xing looked at Yu Yongbai eagerly again: "Second brother, is your caravan going back to our hometown soon?"

Yu Yongbai smiled helplessly: "Yes, Hu Ya is going to lead the team back. Don't worry, I will let Hu Ya personally deliver it to Shi Yan."

Xingxing let out a small cry of joy and happily walked home with her brothers.
