Chapter 719: So Young, Such Seniority

The He Family quickly made plans.

Except for the second couple, Mr. He and Mother He booked train tickets for the fifth day of the first lunar month with the others.

The children were on holiday too, so they all decided to go together.

This made the daughter of the second couple, He Jiahui, extremely jealous, with displeasure written all over her face, as it was the first time she held a grudge against her parents.

She felt that if they hadn’t offended Third Uncle, she could have gone to the Capital with her cousins.

While the He Family started preparing for their visit to the Capital, the Han Family was busy with engagement preparations.

Han Jingchen didn’t hesitate this time and informed everyone he had a good relationship with, calculating that they would need about ten tables.

He just wanted to formally introduce Gu Wanqing and Xinyan to everyone.

Gu Wanqing and Xinyan didn’t stop him. The times were different now, and even if someone wanted to cause trouble, it probably wouldn’t work out.

Xinyan had previously approached Han Jingchen, telling him that she would arrange for the ingredients for the engagement banquet.

Han Jingchen didn’t object, and soon coordinated with the restaurant about it.

Once the date was set, Xinyan made a trip to her master’s place, first to give New Year greetings to Master and Mistress, and second to inform them of her engagement date.

As soon as she entered, she saw her senior and second senior brothers with their families giving New Year greetings to Master and Mistress: "Master, Mistress, I’m here, happy New Year."

Mr. Du, seeing Xinyan enter, glanced behind her: "Why are you alone?"

Xinyan deliberately asked, "Master, who should I have come with?"

Mr. Du saw her being playful and reached out to tap her: "Where’s Jinxuan? Today, all your senior brothers and sisters are gathered, and they’ve all brought their families. You are about to get engaged, so it’s a good opportunity to meet everyone."

Upon hearing the Master’s words, Xinyan asked, "Master, do you mean the fourth senior brother is also coming today?"

She hadn’t met the fourth senior brother, Qian Wanning, who, according to the Master, was currently working at the Southern Military Region Military Hospital.

Mr. Du nodded, "Yes."

Xinyan smiled broadly, "Master, my engagement is on the sixth day, I wonder if the fourth senior brother can attend?"

Mr. Du, upon hearing Xinyan, regretfully said, "Your fourth senior brother has a train on the morning of the sixth, so he’s afraid he can’t make it to your engagement banquet."

Saying this, he quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hello, please transfer me to XXXX."

After waiting a while, the other side picked up: "Happy New Year, I’m looking for Wan Ning."

After waiting another moment, someone on the other end said: "Hello, this is Qian Wanning, who is this?"

Mr. Du, recognizing the voice of his fourth disciple, said: "Wan Ning, it’s me."

On the other side, Qian Wanning, hearing his master’s voice, said: "Master, I was just about to head out, why did you call?"

Mr. Du glanced at Xinyan: "Your little junior sister came over, mentioning she’s getting engaged on the sixth, so I’m letting you know in advance."

When Qian Wanning heard that his little junior sister, whom he hadn’t met yet, was getting engaged, he quickly understood the purpose of the master’s call: "Master, I understand, thank you for reminding me. I’ll be there shortly."

After hanging up, Mr. Du noticed the little disciple giving him a strange look, and he cleared his throat: "What kind of expression is that? Who am I doing this for?"

Xinyan laughed even more: "Thank you, Master, for being considerate of your disciple."

Mr. Du jokingly scolded her: "Alright, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and go help your Mistress in the kitchen."

Xinyan laughed and said, "Got it, I’ll go right away."

After speaking, she turned around and greeted the families of her senior and second senior brothers: "Happy New Year, everyone."

Saying this, she took out the red envelopes she had prepared in advance from her bag and handed them to the two grandsons of her senior brother: "These are red envelopes from your Auntie Master, take them."

Having said that, she blushed a bit, as addressing in this way was quite overwhelming, but that’s the reality.

Her senior brother was already a grandfather, making her feel so high in rank despite her young age.

The senior brother’s wife, Wang Rong, whom she had met once before, was also an outgoing person.

Seeing Xinyan’s expression, she laughed out loud, urging her two little grandsons: "You little ones, hurry up and greet her."
