The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742: Chapter 664, Killing Two Birds with One Arrow_1

On the fourteenth of August, Yan Zhigao and Madam Li took Yan Wenxiu and his wife along with Daohua to the provincial capital and stayed at the Li Family home. On the fifteenth, they visited the Yuan Family, neither too early nor too late.

Upon arrival at the Yuan Family, Madam Yuan was quite enthusiastic, taking the initiative to chat with Madam Li and the other ladies.

This was Han Xinran’s first visit outside since marrying into the Yan Family; after Madam Li introduced her to everyone, Daohua accompanied her throughout the event to meet the wives and daughters of other officials.

Daohua was already acquainted with the female members of the officials’ families in the provincial capital, and after making the rounds with Han Xinran, she had pretty much met everyone.

"Sister Su."

Daohua brought Han Xinran over to the Su family’s ladies and whispered in her ear, "Sister Su and my fourth brother are already betrothed."

Upon hearing this, Han Xinran immediately smiled warmly at Su Shiyu, extending her goodwill, "Miss Su."

Su Shiyu also returned the gesture affectionately, "Madam Yan."

Both took the opportunity to size each other up discreetly, and, seeing that the other was amiable, each breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, the three found a pavilion to sit in, where Daohua and Su Shiyu introduced Han Xinran to the family connections of those attending the banquet.

While the three were deeply engrossed in their conversation, Yuan Zhilei approached with a few girls, "Miss Su, Madam Yan, Miss Yan, what are you chatting about that seems so joyous?"

Daohua laughed, "We were just saying how delicious the tea snacks and mooncakes prepared by your family are today."

Yuan Zhilei smiled broadly, "Really? If you all like them, then I’m very pleased." Saying so, she and the other girls took seats in the pavilion.

After chatting for a while, Yuan Zhilei’s gaze lingered on the yellow jade sunflower hairpin worn by Daohua, and she couldn’t help but take a few extra looks before commenting with a smile, "Miss Yan, the hairpin you’re wearing is quite unique."

Daohua smiled, "Thank you."

The daughter of the Chief Secretary glanced at it and said with a light smile, "I think it’s fine. Although yellow jade is rare, if one really sets out to find it, it can still be found."

Yuan Zhilei chuckled, "I find it unique not because of the yellow jade, but because of the carved flower design."

With that remark, everyone’s attention was drawn to Daohua’s hair.

Yuan Zhilei continued to explain, "We rarely see sunflowers on the jewelry we wear, and today when I saw Miss Yan wearing it, I found it quite attractive."

As she spoke, she looked toward Daohua.

"Miss Yan, what made you think to have your hairpin carved into the shape of a sunflower?"

Daohua smiled faintly, "No special reason, I just like it."

Yuan Zhilei smiled, "Sunflowers were not very common in the past. I only know about it because there is a Sunflower Villa by Tangyu Mountain. Last June, I was fortunate enough to see the sunflowers in full bloom on the mountain, and the magnificent view is still vivid in my memory."

At this point, Han Xinran joined the conversation, "I also know that villa. We usually see things like plum or peach groves, but a sea of sunflowers is quite rare to behold."

Yuan Zhilei nodded in agreement, "Right? I’ve also heard that Sunflower Villa is associated with a beautiful legend."

"What legend?"

Seeing everyone looking at her eagerly, wanting to hear the story, Yuan Zhilei smiled, and without keeping everyone in suspense, she said, "The legend is that the sunflowers on the mountain were planted by a handsome young man for the woman he loved, just to win a smile from the beauty."

"Really?"

Many of the young ladies showed a look of longing.

Listening, Daohua couldn’t help but curl her lips slightly.

Upon seeing Daohua smiling, Yuan Zhilei asked, "Miss Yan, why do you smile?"

Daohua composed herself and said solemnly, "I just think the young man in the legend is quite romantic."

Su Shiyu glanced at Daohua, remembering that Yiyi had once given an entire sea of sunflowers to the Little Prince.

Was she praising herself?

Yuan Zhilei said, "Indeed, it’s romantic. However, some say that it was an old master who planted them to win over his lady’s heart. In any case, the rumors about Sunflower Villa have never ceased, and it’s hard to tell which are true and which are false."

"Many are curious about the owner of the villa, wanting to get a close view of the beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, like the neighboring Four Seasons Manor, the Sunflower Villa is mysterious, making it impossible to uncover the identity of the owner behind it."

Hearing this, Daohua raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked, "Are the two villas very famous?"

Yuan Zhilei nodded with a smile, "Of course, Sunflower Villa is quite well-known among those who enjoy flower viewing, but Four Seasons Manor has a much larger reputation."

Turing to Han Xinran, she asked,

"Does Madam Yan ever taste the fruits and vegetables produced by Four Seasons Manor?"

Yuan Zhilei and Han Xinran nodded in unison. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}
