Chapter 267 What kind of sensation will it cause in the capital?
Anyone with free time would attend the eldest princess's banquet, and the five people with the live streaming system naturally came as well.
The four young masters, who also had live streaming systems, were all alerted by their respective systems.
Xia Mo has a total of 148 points of luck value. If we can plunder it, it will be a huge achievement!
Clearly, there is competition among live streaming systems, and none of them are willing to give up.
"May I ask if I have the honor of getting to know the head of Anjia Township?" Young Master Li stepped forward with an elegant demeanor and gracefully clasped his hands in greeting to Xia Mo.
"My surname is Lan, and I am the fourth son in my family. I wonder if I would have the opportunity to meet the head of Anjia Township?" said the Fourth Young Master Lan.
"I apologize for being so disrespectful to my family. My surname is Zheng, and I am the eldest son of the Zheng family in the capital," Young Master Zheng said, cupping his fists to Xia Mo, his eyes filled with determination.
With her good looks, distinguished family background, and elegant talent, it's hard not to like her.
Xia Mo, wearing a face mask, simply nodded.
"My surname is Chen, from one of the eight great families," Young Master Chen said proudly, glancing at Young Master Zheng beside him before giving Xia Mo a gentle, spring-like smile.
Xia Mo simply returned a polite nod.
The four of them looked at Xia Mo, wanting to see which of them Xia Mo was more interested in.
In reality...
Huangfu Qian strode out of the Grand Princess's residence, radiating a chilling aura, causing the four young masters, who were displaying their talents like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, to gasp in surprise.
Huangfu Qian could have left directly, but he pretended to wait for the carriage and stood under the eaves outside the Grand Princess's residence.
With Huangfu Qian around, the four young masters, who were as flamboyant as peacocks displaying their plumage, didn't dare to make a sound.
"May I have the honor of getting to know the head of Anjia Township?" Huangfu Qian asked politely, but his voice was icy cold, and within that coldness, one could detect a domineering impatience.
When Huangfu Qian noticed that four well-known young masters from the capital were surrounding Xia Mo, he couldn't hold back his composure.
Xia Mo no longer simply nodded politely, but instead clasped her hands in a fist and said to Huangfu Qian, "Your Highness Jiang, you are too kind. It is my honor to know Your Highness Jiang."
Huangfu Qianying glanced at the four young masters of noble families without leaving a trace, indicating that they could leave. Didn't they see that Xia Mo's attitude towards him was different from that towards the four of them?
The corners of her mouth, hidden beneath the summer-end face mask, held an irrepressible smile, which also caused her eyebrows to curve slightly upwards.
I'm sulking because I'm jealous.
The four young masters, who had not received a formal response from Xia Mo, all looked rather unpleasant.
They didn't think their family background and status were lower than Huangfu Qian's, but Xia Mo still only gave Huangfu Qian a nice look, which showed that Xia Mo was the kind of superficial person who could only see the surface status!
The four young masters all showed varying degrees of disdain in their eyes.
The four of them thought they had hidden their contempt well and that no one had noticed.
"Little sister, the carriage is here." Xia Erge couldn't understand what was going on between Huangfu Qian and his little sister, so he simply pretended not to see it.
"My lady's carriage has arrived," Xia Mo waved to Huangfu Qian and followed the carriage.
Huangfu Qian: "..."
Xia Erge respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute to Huangfu Qian and then got into the carriage.
Huangfu Qian watched Xia Mo and Xia Erge leave with a cold face, and then he strode away as well.
Not long after Huangfu Qian left, Jiang Feng arrived in his carriage. Not seeing his master, he asked one of the guards at the Grand Princess's residence before driving off in the direction Huangfu Qian had gone.
The four young masters from prominent families exchanged glances.
Young Master Li said, "Whoever gets it will depend on their own abilities."
“That’s what I think too,” Young Master Zheng nodded in agreement.
The four people reached a tacit understanding.
Young Master Li boarded the carriage to return home, with his attendants sitting beside him, serving him tea and other necessities.
The attendant whispered a reminder: "Young master, although the lord of Anjia Township has a title, his family background and status are not commensurate with our Li family's."
"Even if I get her, she'll only be a concubine," Young Master Li explained coldly, nodding affirmatively to his attendant who reminded him.
Upon hearing that she was not to be married as a principal wife, the attendant said no more.
The other three young masters from prominent families shared the same idea as Young Master Li.

The next day—
Xia Mo led her father, mother, eldest brother, and second brother towards the Xia family's embroidery shop on the outskirts of the capital.
In the capital city, land is incredibly valuable, and even in the least valuable suburbs, not every family can afford to buy a manor.
The Xia Family Embroidery Shop is located here, covering an area of thirty acres, which is already a relatively large shop in the vicinity of the capital.
"Why does he share the same surname as us, Xia?" Xia's mother tugged at Xia's father's sleeve.
Xia's father had already thought of it, and the three of them turned to look at Xia Mo.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, this is one of our family's properties," Xia Mo said, taking out the Xia family's patriarch's token. The people in the manor respectfully welcomed the Xia family members into the manor.
The head of the manor stepped forward respectfully: "Greetings, Master."
Zhuang Tou bowed to Xia Fu.
Xia's father was startled.
Xia Mo handed the family head's token to Xia's eldest brother and said, "This is the true head of the Xia family's embroidery shop."
Zhuang Tou glanced at Xia's father quickly in surprise, then clasped his hands in greeting to Xia's elder brother again: "Greetings, Patriarch."
The village head's eyes were filled with doubt, and the question, "What's going on?" was practically written all over his forehead.
Brother Xia instinctively caught the thing his little sister threw to him, never expecting it to be the head of the family's order. He felt the object burning hot in his hand.
"Little sister..."
"I still have many things to deal with in the future, and I won't be able to care about the Xia family embroidery shop all the time. My eldest brother is the most suitable in our family. Father, Mother, Second Brother, don't you think so?" Xia Mo looked at her father and the others playfully.
Xia's father frowned and said, "Daughter, this should be kept as your dowry."
"There's no rush for a dowry. As long as my family prospers, how could I lack a dowry?" Xia Mo replied with a chuckle.
Although she was born in this world and her family is in this world, she has spent a thousand years in the Immortal Realm and has long since looked down on worldly money.
"Besides, only when my family is doing well can I truly be well, right?" Xia Mo asked with a smile.
Xia's father and the others thought about it carefully and nodded.
After thinking it over, Xia's father said, "Then let your eldest brother manage the embroidery shop. As for the future... we'll see."
Right now, Brother Xia is just like him, wholeheartedly devoted to his daughter. But what will happen after Brother Xia gets married and has children?
But these are all things for the future, and to bring them up now would be a bit like worrying about nothing.
The Xia family walked to a row of houses near the river, went inside, and were shocked by what they saw.
Mr. Xia and his family were stunned by the water-powered automatic loom and water-powered automatic spinning wheel. When they left the Xia family embroidery shop, they were still in a daze.
On the outskirts of the capital, in the southern district, at the market—
This street mainly sells fabrics, ready-made clothing, jewelry, and the like.
Xia Mo led them to the Xia Family Cloth Shop, which consisted of seven shops combined into one.
The fabric shop is all renovated and the staff has been hired. It's just waiting for the owner's order to open for business immediately.
"Father and Mother, let's pick a date for the opening of the Xia Family Cloth Shop," Xia Mo reminded them with a smile.
She was well aware of the sensation the opening of Xia Family Cloth Shop would cause in the capital, and she was even somewhat looking forward to it.
