The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Chapter 112, Invitation_1

The events that transpired at the Academy were unknown to the Yan Family.

As September arrived, Daohua became busier with each passing day; after finishing school, her time was consumed by the flower shop.

Now, her flower shop had gained a modest reputation in Xingzhou City for selling flowers that were not only beautiful to behold and resilient but also boasted large and vibrant blooms with a lasting fragrance. Sales were brisk every day.

With the Double Ninth Festival approaching, wealthy households were fond of hosting chrysanthemum viewing parties, and the chrysanthemums in her shop flourished beautifully, richly, and vibrantly. They sold out quickly as soon as they were displayed.

The entire Yan Family, seeing the success of Daohua’s flower shop, were all quite envious.

Yan Zhiyuan and Madam Sun, who had previously tried to persuade Daohua to give up the flower shop, now found it somewhat awkward to face her these days.

Even Madam Li was smiling and saying that she would also like to learn how to grow flowers next year.

One day, as Daohua was recording the flower shop’s earnings in Madam Li’s room, she saw Ping Tong walk in with an invitation, a joyful expression on her face.

“Madam, an invitation from the Zhou Family,” she announced.

Madam Li was surprised for a moment; since their arrival in Xingzhou City, this was the first time they had received an invitation from the Zhou Family. She briskly took the invitation, opened it, and saw that it was an invite to climb the mountain to admire the autumn scenery on the day of the Double Ninth Festival.

Laying down her pen, Daohua asked curiously, “Mother, why has the Zhou Family invited us?”

Madam Li passed the invitation to her. “They’ve invited us to cruise on the Dayuan River, followed by a trip up to Xiangxia Mountain to enjoy the red maple leaves.”

Daohua, upon reading the invitation, exclaimed, “The Zhou Family actually has their own pleasure boat!”

Madam Li: “That’s why they’re called an established aristocratic family. The wealth these families have amassed over generations is beyond our imagination.”

Excited about the opportunity to go out, Daohua asked Madam Li, “Mother, will all the women from our family be going?”

Madam Li thought for a moment and shook her head, “The Zhou Family will surely invite others too. Once there are many people, trouble is likely to arise. Being on a pleasure boat is the easiest place for accidents, such as falling into the water.”

Daohua nodded as she listened; indeed, stories of people being pushed into rivers were not uncommon in the novels of her past life.

“Our family has a shallow foundation in Xingzhou City, and we are not familiar with other families. It’s said that one shouldn’t harbor ill intentions but should also guard against them. Your father’s promotion to Prefectural Governor has already drawn the envy of many. In situations like these that could potentially cause trouble, the fewer people who attend, the better.”

It wasn’t that she was overly cautious, but rather that compared with other families, the Yan Family was simply too weak and lacked support; a single incident could lead to a major issue. Thus, even when going out for leisure, they had to be careful and vigilant.

Madam Li paused for a moment: “If we only bring one of you along, the others will inevitably gossip… Between Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile, who do you think would be the better choice to bring along?”

She didn’t even consider Madam Sun or the Wu Family at all.

Although Madam Sun was eloquent, her second brother was a commoner. If she sat among a group of officials’ relatives, disdain was inevitable, so why seek discomfort?

As for the Wu Family, they were still expecting at the moment.

Without hesitation, Daohua replied, “Naturally, whoever is the least trouble should be the one to take!” _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

“Yan Yishuang has been spoiled by her father and Aunt Lin, and if anything goes against her wishes, she tears up as if wronged. Her sulking face won’t please anyone.”

“And Yan Yile, she speaks without thinking, acting impulsively; she offends people with her words. Although she’s young, outsiders won’t be considerate of that and will simply think the Yan Family lacks discipline.”

“Compared to these two, the quiet and unassuming Yan Yihuan is more suited. She might not be of much help in a situation, but she surely won’t go looking for trouble.”

Madam Li smiled as she watched her daughter analyze the three young ladies of the household. Once she was finished, she nodded in agreement, “You see clearly enough. Let’s take Yan Yihuan, then. I’ll talk to your second aunt about it during dinner later.”

…

After dinner, Madam Li spoke of the Zhou Family’s invitation and told Madam Sun that she intended to take Yan Yihuan with them on the day of the Double Ninth Festival.

The reactions to this news varied among those present.

Yan Yihuan was initially stunned, and upon confirming that her great aunt was not joking, her heart was quickly overwhelmed with joy.
