Chapter 180: Chapter 162, Viewing Lanterns at Chong Building_1

“Xiao Yeyang is in the provincial mansion?” Daohua looked at Zhao Ergou in surprise.

Zhao Ergou nodded, “Miss Yan, the flower parade is about to start. How about we head over to Chong Building first? If you have any questions, you can ask them after we get there.”

There were simply too many people on the streets, and the Little Prince had only mentioned that Miss Yan and the Yan gentlemen might be on Zheng Street watching the lanterns. He did not know the exact location, so he led his men from shop to shop, and it took them the better part of the day to find the group.

“This…”

Daohua was very tempted; to stand atop a tall building and overlook the parade of floats would undoubtedly offer an amazing view.

But if she and her two brothers just left like that, it wouldn’t be right to leave their uncle’s family behind, would it?

Li Xingchang seemed to know what Daohua was thinking. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he smiled and said, “Daohua, you should go quickly, don’t keep others waiting.”

Daohua looked at her uncle and aunt, then at the Li Family’s cousins, and asked Zhao Ergou, “Can I bring my cousins with me?”

Zhao Ergou glanced at Li Chenyi and the others and nodded, “Of course.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xingchang and the others all showed delighted expressions. Li Chenyi and the youngsters were also excited.

Watching the parade from Chong Building was something they had never even dreamed of.

Li Xingchang smiled and said, “Go on then. Wenxiu, your cousins haven’t seen much of the world. Help take care of them, alright?”

Yan Wenxiu immediately assured, “Uncle, don’t worry.” freeweɓnøvel.com

Then, Daohua, holding one cousin’s hand, followed Zhao Ergou and his men towards Chong Building.

It wasn’t until they left the restaurant that Li Zixin came back to her senses. Clutching Daohua’s hand, she excitedly said, “Cousin, are we really going to Chong Building to watch the parade of floats?”

Daohua nodded, “Yeah.”

Li Zixuan was also excited but her brows were knit with nervousness, “The ones allowed in Chong Building are all nobility. Is it really okay for us to go?”

Daohua squeezed Li Zixuan’s hand, “It’ll be fine. Just follow me when we’re there. Do as I do.”

Li Zixin immediately nodded, “Then you must take good care of us.”

Back in the restaurant, Li’s uncles and aunts finally relaxed when they saw Daohua and the others well-protected in the center of the bodyguards, preventing anyone from accidentally bumping into them.

Fan Family’s Madam, seeing her daughter tightly holding onto Daohua’s hand and her youngest son with his neck encircled by Wenkai’s arm, said with a smile, “Daohua and the others have not been cared for in vain. Even with good fortunes, they did not forget about their cousins.”

The Jian Family’s Madam also followed with a smile, “Yes, little sister always mentioned in her letters how warm-hearted Daohua is. Now I’ve finally experienced it for myself.”

She had seen everything clearly. When that bodyguard came to call them over, Wenxiu and Wenkai seemed to want to include Chenyi and the others, but they seemed hesitant and didn’t speak up.

Only Daohua, the young girl, had taken the initiative to speak.

From the look of things, she seemed to want them all to follow along at that moment.

Seeing both his elder sister and daughter-in-law looking happy, Li Xingnian smiled and said, “Alright, you’re both so excited. They are close cousins after all; of course, we should look after them. Haven’t our children been playing happily with the three from Daohua’s family these past days? Affection is mutual; if we’re good to them, naturally, they will be good to us too.”

The Jian Family’s Madam gave Li Xingnian a playful glare, “You always know what to say.”

After Daohua and her party left, the restaurant began to stir. People on the first and second floors were all eyeing the private room where Li Xingnian and his family were seated.

The bodyguards brought by Zhao Ergou had a different bearing and dress compared to the usual protector or bodyguard of common families. Merchants, having honed a keen eye for detail, immediately recognized that these men were extraordinary.

Sun, the head of the merchant association, even came down from the second floor and shamelessly took a seat in Li Xingchang’s private room, “Brother Li, I just saw your esteemed family’s young masters and misses leaving. Where might they be going?”

Li Xingchang raised an eyebrow—just a moment ago he was addressed as ‘Manager Li,’ and now he was ‘Brother Li’!

He glanced at everyone eyeing their private room, knowing that today’s events could not be kept secret, so he smiled and said, “My two nephews are studying at Wangyue Academy, aren’t they? It just happens that their classmates are watching the lanterns from Chong Building. When they found out my nephews were here too, they came to invite them over to enjoy the lanterns together.”

Sun, the merchant association head, felt a jolt in his heart.

Chong Building was a place open only to the relatives of high officials of the provincial mansion.

“Please forgive my ignorance, Brother Li, but your nephews are…?”

Li Xingchang smiled, “The sons of Prefectural Governor of Xingzhou.”

Sun immediately responded with a smile, “I thought so. How come those two young masters looked so distinguished? It turns out they are sons of the Prefectural Governor.”

Mrs. Sun also came downstairs, and without any ado clasped Madam Fan’s arm with a smile, “The first floor view is somewhat lacking after all. I’ve made room in a private box on the second floor. You must grant me this favor and go up to watch the lanterns.”
