The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 255 Liu Mansion Birthday Banquet
He selected a shopkeeper, several waiters and cooks from Zhuangzi, and sent them to Zhoucheng to prepare for the opening the next day.

Pomegranate will naturally go there when it opens, but before that, she has to go to Liu's house to celebrate her birthday.

Although there was only one invitation, there was no stipulation on how many people could go. Shiliu wanted both her father and her eldest and second brothers to go together. It would be good to gain some experience. After all, this was the birthday banquet of the old man of the Liu family, and he came from an official shopping mall. There must be a lot of people there, and if you want to make a friend or two, it will be a worthwhile trip.

Even if you can't, go and see and listen. It's an experience, isn't it?
But Li Jihe had an honest temper and was a little frightened thinking about that scene. He waved his hand and refused, "I won't go. Let your eldest and second brothers go with you."

He wouldn't be afraid at all if he was asked to have a banquet in Shiliba Village, but the Liu family? He was afraid that when the time came, his legs would become weak and it would be a small matter to lose face to himself, but not to lose face to his daughter.

Speaking of this, Li Jihe also muttered, he has lived for more than thirty years, but he is still not as good as his daughter, a teenage girl. How can she be so unafraid?
When the clan leaders talked about it, they all said that Pomegranate was not an ordinary person.

Even if Dad doesn't go, Pomegranate won't force him to go. If he does force him to go, he will feel uncomfortable and it will make him suffer. If he doesn't want to go, just don't go.

Li Rongzong and Li Rongyu looked at each other and decided to go and get to know each other.

After all, they have been in the city for more than a year, and come into contact with a lot of people every day. The two brothers are no longer the time when they didn't know what to do with their hands and feet when they saw people dressed well. Although It's definitely a bit false, but I'm afraid they're not afraid. Even if they gain experience, they won't lose a piece of meat. How can they still be afraid?

After deciding to go, Shiliu took her eldest and second brothers to buy some clothes together. Now the family was not short of money, and the two brothers also made a lot of new clothes. Their daily wear was made of fine cotton.

But I have to go to the Liu family and organize myself more carefully, which is also a sign of respect for the family.

So Pomegranate directly bought the two brothers fine silk that they had not worn before, a finely crafted silk robe for the upper body, and then hung a jade pendant and a purse around the waist to decorate it, and her hair was tied high on her head with a jade belt. , Tsk, that’s a huge change. It’s very different.

She doesn't look ugly at all, but when she wears it like this, with her head held high and her chest raised, she looks energetic.

After packing their bags, the Shiliu brothers and sisters rushed to Fucheng one day in advance and stayed at the house in Lihua Hutong.

It’s been half a year since I bought the house in Lihua Hutong. Shiliu has come to Fucheng to live there a few times, but this is the first time for Li Rongzong and the others to come back. They looked at it inside and out and found it strange that living in this house in Fucheng is different. ah.

That night, after dinner, Shiliu asked them to have a good rest. They would go to Liu's house early tomorrow morning.

The Liu family is the richest man in Bingzhou, and the Liu family's aunt is the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion in Jing'an, the capital. It would be fine to say that she is just Mrs. Hou, but the granddaughter of this old lady is the empress of the palace, and the fifth prince she gave birth to is quite handsome. Favored by the Holy One.

Now he is in his prime, and there is no legitimate son in the palace. The position of the prince is still vacant. No one knows who will fall.

The Jing'an Marquis' Mansion in the capital was already very popular, and it was also someone who could not be fawned over, but wouldn't it be convenient for the Liu family to fawn over it?

Therefore, for Mrs. Liu's birthday, all the prominent people from Bingzhou came, which was a great event.

Shiliu and the others took a mule cart to Antaifang, where the Liu family's ancestral home was located. As soon as they arrived in Beicheng, they were caught in a traffic jam. There were countless carriages and horses lined up in front of them, like ants queuing up.

To be honest, it would definitely be faster to get off the car and walk there right now, but it's not necessary. It's still early and people are waiting slowly, so they just wait.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shiliu Shao Shao had to give relaxation lessons to the eldest and second brothers who were visibly nervous when they saw that they were about to go to Liu's house.

"Don't be nervous, relax, let's just think that we are going to some wealthy relatives' houses to celebrate their birthdays and have a banquet. There will be many guests from the Liu family today, and we won't pay much attention. When the time comes, eldest brother and second brother, you guys sit together and listen more to others. Just watch what others do. Seize the opportunity yourself. It’s good to make friends. If you can’t, there’s no need to be shy about trying to please anyone——

The Liu family must be in a big scene today. Let’s watch more and more. It will be a rare experience! "

Even if I can see Mr. Guan with my own eyes, it's not a loss at all. Li Rongzong and Li Rongyu just nodded and understood. Anyway, they just want to listen more and watch more, talk less and don't stand out. The clinking of a half-filled can of water attracted people's attention.

The long queue was slow and leisurely. When Shiliu and the others' car finally approached Antai Fang, the sun was almost rising into the sky. It was difficult to get on and off the horse and go back to the Fang. I was afraid of getting more jammed, so I got off the car at the entrance of Fangkou. , went inside with the birthday gift.

After not walking far, the main door of Liu's Mansion opened. There were countless people standing in front of the door to welcome guests. An endless stream of guests were welcomed in with birthday gifts.

The Shiliu brother and sister took the invitations and entered the door. They gave the birthday gifts to the steward at the entrance hall and registered them. Immediately, the servants of the Liu family came to lead them inside.

Naturally, the male and female guests were not in the same place. Shiliu watched as her eldest and second brothers followed the young man. She also took Fudong with her and followed a maid who was leading the way to the inner courtyard.

After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, we arrived at a large flower hall.

There were already many guests in the flower hall, all of them women, chatting and laughing, and it was very lively.

There were many guests who came in before and after Pomegranate, and the new face of Pomegranate didn't attract much attention. Everyone was busy socializing.

Pomegranate was quite happy. She didn't know anyone, so she found a corner to sit down.

Fortunately, there are all kinds of snacks and snacks available, so it’s not embarrassing.

While eating, she distracted her mind and listened to the conversations of the female relatives not far away.

After listening to it, I got a lot of information.

People kept coming in at the door, and suddenly, a group of figures came in, attracting Shiliu's attention.

The lady who was escorted in seemed to have a distinguished status at first glance. Shiliu looked at the lady who accompanied her in and it was clear that she was Liu Dong's wife, whom she had met before.

There were a few little girls following behind, and Liu Xi was among them. No one else noticed, but Liu Xi caught sight of the pomegranate in the corner and couldn't help but smile with her. When the reception was ready, Liu Xi walked towards her.

"Pomegranate, why are you sitting here alone? The girls from all the families are playing in the garden nearby. Come on, I'll take you there."

With that said, he took Pomegranate and went outside together.

When they arrived at the garden, the girls who knew Liu Xi came up to greet her. When they saw the pomegranate beside her, they were curious, "Which girl is this from? She looks strange."

Liu Xi introduced with a smile: "This is Miss Li."

Miss Li? There are many people named Li, but most of them know each other.

Seeing that Liu Xi didn't want to introduce him further, and seeing that Pomegranate was well dressed and had an outstanding temperament, he thought he might be a relative of the Liu family, so he didn't ask any more questions and just started chattering.

"I heard that Mr. Yan and his family are also here. Why don't you see Miss Yan coming?"

Liu Xi said: "Miss Yan is following Mrs. Yan, and they are still talking in the flower hall."

One girl joked: "She didn't ask Miss Yan, she wanted to ask Mr. Yan whether he was here or not!"
