The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Chapter 281, Really Don’t Recognize_1

“Who is the girl you’ve provoked now, following us all the way and even chasing us to the theater?”

Listening to his friend’s teasing voice, Feng Liangji rolled his eyes in response, “I am not like you, fond of flirting around. I don’t recognize the person below.”

Sun Yongyi waved his fan with a smile, “Don’t be so sure. Maybe it’s a young miss from a friendly family who has her eyes on you. Hearing that your engagement is imminent, she couldn’t sit still and perhaps will even find her way to our location later.”

Feng Liangji couldn’t be bothered to listen to his annoying friend and turned his gaze to his younger uncle sitting in the seat of honor, sipping his tea with his head down.

Speaking of younger uncle…

Actually, he was about the same age as Feng Liangji, and Feng was even older by months.

“Younger Uncle, I truly…”

Feng Liangji knew that the main Feng family greatly valued propriety and personal conduct. He intended to explain, but as soon as he started to speak, he was interrupted by a raised hand.

Feng Hao casually set down his teacup, and the flash of sharpness in his eyes made Sun Yongyi, the son of a merchant guild leader, dare not underestimate him: “You don’t need to explain such trivial matters to me.”

Feng Liangji gave a wry smile and said no more.

His family was merely a collateral branch of the Jiguang Feng family, and several generations removed from the main line at that. Now they could only conduct business in Zhongzhou under the shadow of their ancestors. Although there were annual greetings exchanged with the main branch, they were hardly considered close.

Some things, indeed, were better left unsaid.

His family wanted to be close to the main branch, but they were also aware that without the proper bargaining chips, the main branch wouldn’t bother with them.

He had never expected that the main branch would send someone to oversee his engagement to the Li Family, and to think it was the head of the fifth household no less.

Feng Liangji scrutinized the resolute-looking fifth master of the main branch seated before him with caution. He had often heard of his deeds; the man had shouldered responsibility for the fifth household at a young age after the death of his father.

Yet only eighteen, he was already a successful candidate in the imperial examinations and managed his family’s affairs impeccably, commanding respect from everyone in the main branch.

Every time he heard about him, Feng Liangji couldn’t help but admire.

Feng Hao paid no attention to the other two people in the private room, his gaze focused on the theater below, eyes glittering with sharpness.

The manners of this Zhongzhou girl are somewhat lacking, boldly coming to the theater!

…

Downstairs, Dong Yuanyao and the clerk argued for a while, but the clerk, still frowning, apologized, saying that all the reserved private rooms were taken today, and none could be vacated.

Daohua, seeing people in the hall begin to look their way and not wishing to draw attention, pulled on Dong Yuanyao, “Let’s just sit in a corner.”

Dong Yuanyao looked reluctant, but seeing the clerk had no other choice, she simply acquiesced with a ‘hm’.

Finally, Daohua and her group took their seats in the farthest corner of the hall.

As the clerk was serving the tea and snacks and getting ready to leave, he was stopped by Daohua.

Daohua placed a Silver Barley on the table and looked at the clerk, “I need to ask you something.”

The clerk glanced at the Silver Barley, then looked away and said with an ingratiating smile, “What would you like to inquire about, young master?”

Daohua, “Do you recognize the son of the Feng family?”

Upon hearing that the question was about him, the clerk swiftly pocketed the Silver Barley from the table, “I know him. Feng’s son is here at our theater today, listening to the opera in a private room right now.”

If the inquiry had been about the officials, he naturally would have refrained from saying much; but about a businessman, there were fewer scruples.

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao exchanged glances, “Which private room is he in?”

Turning his head to look at the second floor, the clerk pointed out, “There, that private room right by the side.”
