After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 328 Why should the elders be invited to greet us?

"My lords, please come in..."

"congratulations……"

"Madam, please come in..."

In the capital city, today is the day of the full moon banquet for the two young masters of the Xu family. The Xu family's house is already crowded with guests early in the morning and it looks very lively.

The head of the Xu family had already come to discuss with Xu Qinghe and his wife in person, and would take advantage of today's good opportunity to record their family in the family tree.

As for the names of Xu Jinran's family, the third branch of the Ning Wang Mansion, they had long been erased with a black pen.

It was also Xu Qinghe's wish to be able to trace his ancestral roots in front of everyone, so of course he agreed immediately and invited many members of the Xu family to be his guests on that day.

In fact, even if he didn't invite them, the Xu family would not waste the good opportunity to get closer to them, so early this morning, the head of the Xu family came with a large group of Xu family members.

As for the female members of Prince Ning's Mansion, they arrived earlier than them.

With the old princess in charge in the backyard, and Princess Ning and the second lady helping to entertain the guests, Cui's life was much more relaxed.

As time passed, most of the guests had arrived, and the entire Xu family compound became completely bustling.

The eldest uncle of the Cui family has been running around with his two sons. All the guests are important figures. He also reminded his two sons to be careful with their words and actions and never cause trouble for their uncle Xu Qinghe.

"Dad, I just saw Li Xiao coming."

Cui Jiabo, the eldest of the Cui family, pulled on Uncle Cui's sleeve and pointed to a big tree outside and said:

"Maybe he saw that there were too many guests at the Xu family today, so he didn't feel comfortable coming in."

Uncle Cui looked over and saw a young boy standing behind a big tree, looking curiously towards the door of Xu's house.

"You kid, now that you're here, why don't you go in?"

Uncle Cui smiled and said that today was a big happy event for the Xu family, and everyone who came to the door was a guest, so naturally there was no intention of turning away any guests.

"Uncle Cui, I won't go in. Can you help us deliver this to the two young masters of Mr. Xu's family?"

Li Xiao felt a little embarrassed and reached out to take out a small package from his arms, which contained two sets of small clothes carefully sewn by his mother, Lin.

Lin specially selected the finest materials for these two sets of clothes and spent a lot of effort to make them, just to express her gratitude to the Xu family for their great kindness to them.

"Now that we are here, it would be great if you could send her off in person. Come on, follow me in."

People came over eagerly to give gifts. Regardless of whether the gift was valuable or not, it was a rare token of thoughtfulness after all. So Uncle Cui pulled the person directly in front of Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe was chatting and laughing with Lord Yao and the others. When he heard that Li Xiao had sent a gift, he was very happy. He called him over and asked him about the recent situation at home. When he learned that everything was fine, he felt relieved and had someone take him downstairs to wait for the banquet.

The capital city has a large population, so no matter what is done, it cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

These adults had already sent people to investigate all the major and minor events that had happened to the Xu family since they came to the capital, so they naturally knew about Li Xiao's affairs.

"It's a blessing for this child to meet the Xu family. I don't know how many lifetimes it took for him to do so."

Lord Yao sighed. He knew best what life was like for those people living in the north of the city.

Years ago, when he went to check on the construction of the kang, he had seen this young man. At that time, not only was he skinny, but even his spirits were not that good.

But after seeing her again for the past two months, she looked much more energetic, had gained some weight, and her cheeks were noticeably more rosy.

"They are all trivial matters that are not worth mentioning. This child is also diligent. It would not be bad to ask him to run errands or do something."

Xu Qinghe smiled naively. In his eyes, doing Li Xiao a favor was not a favor at all, but just an exchange in which both parties got what they needed.

While chatting with the adults, he would look towards the door from time to time.

Everyone just thought that he had guests who hadn't arrived yet, but they didn't know that the person Xu Qinghe had been waiting for was not someone else, but his own daughter Yuxiu.

When Yuxiu left, she said she would come back to attend her brothers' full moon banquet, but Xu Qinghe and Cui Shi waited for her for several days, but she didn't come back.

The banquet was already halfway through, but there was still no sign of the child.

He didn't believe that his daughter would forget such a big thing. Could it be that she encountered some difficulties that prevented her from getting back?

Xu Qinghe was very worried, and Cui in the backyard was also very anxious.

"Why hasn't Xiu come back yet? Do you want me to send someone to pick her up at the farm?"

When the old princess heard that her granddaughter had gone to the farm, she had looked towards the door several times.

That girl is the same. She goes to live in the farm in such cold weather. Isn't she asking for trouble?

"Don't worry, mother. Her father has already sent someone to pick her up."

Cui tried hard to suppress her anxiety. Just when she was about to ask someone to go and check, she heard the noise of maids and servants outside, saying that the eldest lady had returned.

"Is Xiu girl back?"

Before Cui could react, the old princess stood up quickly and trotted out to greet her.

"How can we ask the elders to greet us..."

Cui complained, but she was very happy in her heart.

"The old lady at home has been complaining for a long time, saying that Yuxiu no longer goes to see her grandmother. She must be very excited to hear that she has returned today."

Princess Ning couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. What a child! She is just like a child.

"Who said it wasn't true? The old lady always talks about her little granddaughter Yuxiu at home, which makes Le Wan even shout that her grandmother has a new granddaughter and has forgotten about her, the old granddaughter..."

The Second Madam couldn't help but laugh. When Xu Lewan was mentioned, Cui realized that the girl didn't come today.

"Since Le Wan is still at home, why don't you ask her to come over today so that she can have some fun with everyone."

Counting the days, Xu Lewan's confinement period was almost over, but she was not very satisfied with the Luo family's attitude in handling the matter. She was holding back her anger and was unwilling to go back.

"She just had that incident. If she came to such a festive occasion, it would be a bit unlucky..."

The Second Madam had a bitter look on her face. Before, the Old Princess and Princess Ning had both wanted to let Xu Lewan come over, but Xu Lewan herself was very cautious about these things, fearing that she would bring bad luck to Third Aunt Cui's family, so she refused to come.

"Since we are all a family from now on, what's the point of talking about bad luck? That's just nonsense."

Cui waved her hand and immediately called in the people waiting at the door, and asked the head maid Zi Su to go to Prince Ning's Mansion in person to pick up Xu Lewan.
