141 Banquet

After they had a simple breakfast, the sky was still dark, but the streets were lit. The reason was that there were many shops in the prefecture and they opened early. The candles under the corridor were all lit.

The group got into the carriage.

When Xiaowu was in Jin Ji, he always followed Shopkeeper Sun around to discuss business. He had come to the prefecture city seven or eight times, so he was familiar with the environment.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, so he did not take a shortcut. He sped along the main road and soon arrived at the side door of the Wang family.

Although the Wang family was a merchant family, their house was built in a more imposing style than that of the Qi family. Moreover, it seemed to have been renovated in recent years. The colors of the walls and eaves were very new and magnificent.

The Third Madam had already informed the servant at the side door. After Shopkeeper Sun introduced himself, the servant brought them into the manor and led them to the kitchen.

The Wang family had a total of three branches. The first branch was the direct descendant of Master Wang, and the second and third branches were borne by concubines. Today was the banquet for the first branch's direct grandson, and it was especially grand and festive.

The servants should have started work at midnight. The backyard was brightly lit.

As the servant led the way, he glanced at the siblings from time to time, mainly at Su Xiaoxiao.

It couldn't be helped. Even if Su Xiaoxiao lost dozens of kilograms, she was still a big fatty in ancient times.

However, compared to the dark fatty when she first transmigrated, she was now fair, chubby, and a little cute.

"Brother Qiu, who is it?"

Another servant asked the servant in a low voice.

The servant said in a low voice, "Third Madam hired a chef from Apricot Flower Town."

"From town?" The maid pursed her lips, clearly looking down on her. "What was Third Madam thinking?"

"Shh..." The servant looked around. "Don't let Third Madam hear this."

"I know, I know." The maidservant agreed and looked at Su Xiaoxiao a few more times. She was the most eye-catching among them, so it was impossible not to notice.

Su Xiaoxiao heard their conversation clearly. There was a chain of disdain everywhere. The people in town looked down on the countryside, and the people in the prefecture looked down on the people from town...

She would just do her part and not care about what others say.

Third Madam thoughtfully prepared a small kitchen for them and instructed the servants to try their best to satisfy any ingredients they needed. There was no need to specially report to her.

However, when the servant brought them to the small kitchen that had been prepared in the morning, he unexpectedly discovered that there were people inside.

They were unfamiliar faces.

The servant was stunned and asked, "Who are you? Which branch did you come from?"

A middle-aged man who was preparing flour on the stove said, "We are the pastry chefs hired by your residence."

The servant said, "That's not right. The pastry chef is here."

"What happened?"

A delicate female voice slowly sounded from not far away.

The speaker looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was covered in jewels. She looked extremely wealthy. She was accompanied by a maidservant and a maidservant. They were both well-dressed.
