Chapter 763: The Sister of One of My Good Brothers
Early the next morning, Mrs. Luo dressed up and smiled, and went to the pavilion outside the Xingxing Guest House to wait.
After the maidservant in Xingxing's yard said that the princess had woken up and washed, Luo held up her skirt and walked towards the main house with impeccable manners.
There was a table full of breakfast on Xingxing's table.
Mrs. Luo smiled politely and enthusiastically: "I don't know what the princess likes to eat, so I prepared some extra..."
Xing Xing said: "Your Majesty advocates frugality, so this is really a bit too extravagant and wasteful."
Mrs. Luo observed Xingxing's expression and added: "Princess, you don't have to worry about waste. In our house, the food that the master can't finish will be rewarded to the servants. The servants can also eat some good food. It can't be considered a waste."
Xingxing still frowned.
Even though the Yu family could be considered wealthy now, everyone in the family had lived a hard life. Although their breakfast could be considered plentiful, it had never been so extravagant and wasteful before, with always a little more than what could be eaten.
It's such a waste to fill up a big table like the one Roche had it set up.
Xingxing can't bear to see people wasting food.
She simply ordered three items: "This soup dumpling, shrimp wonton, and golden silk roll. These three items are enough for me."
Seeing Xing Xing like this, Luo quickly picked a few items and asked the others to leave.
Although the Yu family did not have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, Xingxing actually did not want to talk to Mrs. Luo. She sat there quietly and had her breakfast.
Luo also had breakfast with me.
Of course, during this process, she also secretly looked at Xingxing several times - Xingxing had previously played the role of the merchant girl Feng Yongyong, so her etiquette and posture would certainly not be like that of the capital.
Like now, Xingxing was deliberately trying to make Mrs. Luo unsure, so the postures she used while eating were all those she had learned specially in order to enter the palace.
In a nutshell, it can be summed up in two words: bluffing!
It's guaranteed to leave Luo stunned!
Sure enough, Luo's expression changed from time to time.
After Xingxing had breakfast, Luo said earnestly that Xingxing came to Anjiang as a princess, and besides her, many wives of local officials in Anjiang wanted to pay their respects to the princess. After all, yesterday was too busy, and the welcoming banquet was also rushed. She wanted to hold a good welcoming banquet for the princess, so as to give the wives of the officials a chance to meet the princess.
Xing Xing smiled slightly: "Mrs. Luo is too polite. My coming to Anjiang has caused a lot of trouble for Governor Pang and Mrs. Luo. The guest should follow the host's wishes. Mrs. Luo will make the arrangements."
When Mrs. Luo heard this, she was delighted and stood up to bow to Xing Xing, saying, "Then I would like to thank the princess for her kindness on behalf of all the ladies in Anjiang."
Putting aside the similarities between the two, Mrs. Luo is already wishing that Xingxing is the real Princess Fusui.
What kind of merchant girl Feng Yongyong is? It would be best if she died outside!
She was able to hold such a welcoming banquet for the princess. In a small sense, she was trying to please the princess, but in a big sense, it also showed that she had won the princess's favor. By then, who among the wives of officials in the entire Anjiang area could be more glorious than her?
Mrs. Luo was so overjoyed that she chatted with Xingxing for a while before she apologized and left, saying that she had to take care of the arrangements for the banquet.
Xingxing was too lazy to deal with Luo, so she just went with the flow.
After Luo left, Xingxing felt that the surroundings became much quieter.
She smiled as if relieved and called Qing Shuang: "Come on, let's take a walk around the mansion."
She had been to the prefectural government once before, but at that time she was a merchant girl named Feng Yongyong, and was "called" over by the prefect's wife, Mrs. Luo, to be looked at.
In order to be consistent with her character, Xing Xing did not wander around the prefectural government. She basically left directly after the banquet was over.
Right now, she is Princess Fusui, a distinguished guest that the entire prefectural government has to entertain with great care.
Xingxing didn't hesitate to take Qingshuang to the front yard.
The front yard of the prefectural government covers a large area, and the garden is built in an orderly and magnificent manner.
After walking around the garden, Qing Shuang lowered her voice and whispered in Xing Xing's ear: "Princess, there is something wrong with the rockery in this house. When I walked there just now, my footsteps didn't sound right. There must be a secret passage under this rockery."
Xing Xing nodded calmly: "Okay, I understand."
Qing Shuang stood half a step behind Xing Xing again and acted as a responsible maid.
Xingxing was a guest at the prefect's mansion. She had not been walking around in the front yard for long when she ran into Pang Jinkang. Xingxing was not surprised at all.
Pang Jinkang looked a little flustered. He didn't dare to look Xingxing in the face. He lowered his head, clasped his fists and bowed to greet Xingxing.
Xing Xing looked indifferent.
Previously, she and her fourth brother had contact with Pang Jinkang in order to obtain information from him.
But after Xing Xing discovered that Pang Jinkang was not treating her well, she was afraid that she had "cheated" on Pang Jinkang's feelings, and even claimed that she had a fiancé.
But Xingxing never expected that this seemingly honest little fat boy could be so cruel. He teamed up with his family members to pretend to be bandits and try to intercept her carriage!
You have to know that at that time, the little fat girl kept calling her fourth brother "Brother Feng" as if she wanted to treat him as a close friend who would become like old friends at first sight!
As a result, for a woman who didn't like him at all, he just ordered someone to kill his confidant!
What should Xingxing say? Should she say that he is cruel or vicious?
So at this moment, Xingxing was really reluctant to pay attention to Pang Jinkang.
Fortunately, Xingxing currently appears as a princess, so it is reasonable for her to be a little cold and arrogant.
Xing Xing looked at Pang Jinkang coldly as he bowed to her and said calmly, "Master Pang, please stand up."
Pang Jinkang stood up straight, standing aside somewhat awkwardly, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qing Shuang couldn't bear to see others like this. She wanted to ask again, what do you want to do by blocking our princess's way?
But Qing Shuang thought about it and realized that she had asked directly last time. Although the princess didn't say anything about her, it still seemed to have caused some small trouble.
Thinking of this, Qing Shuang shut up and looked at Pang Jinkang impatiently, indicating that if he knew what was interesting, he should get out of here quickly.
Pang Jinkang's hesitation finally gave him an idea.
Pang Jinkang gritted his teeth and took another step forward, bowing deeply to Xing Xing: "I haven't apologized to the princess yet--"
Xing Xing raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
Pang Jinkangzhang blushed and said, "Yesterday, I saw that the princess looked a bit like an old friend of mine. I was distracted for a moment and offended the princess. Please forgive me."
Xing Xing remained calm: "Old friend? What old friend?"
Pang Jinkang hesitated for a moment before whispering, "She is the sister of one of my good brothers."
