Chapter 94: Gold Mine (Enigma Nixi and Shi Bi 3+)

  Seeing Niu Xiaoye was like a completely different person, Sheng Siyan initially thought it was because she had been injured too badly and had lost a lot of weight, so she let out a soft sigh.

  "Didn't expect Seventh Young Master to say with a smile, 'Father's medical skills are not bad, right? Niu Xiaoye's kidney meridian was damaged, so she had been obese. This time she got injured, but fortunately, it allowed me to diagnose her illness, and by using various methods, not only did her injury heal, but she also truly slimmed down.'"

  Of course it's not as thin as the beauty standard of the Great Xia Dynasty, but looks plumper than ordinary.

  But it's no longer a round and plump weight, but has a chest, waist and hips.

  Furthermore, Niu Xiaoye is three years older than Sheng Siyan and has already reached the age of wearing hairpins, her height surging rapidly, making her a striking young woman in everyone's eyes.

  Sheng Siyan said, "The Niu family is just a merchant family, even if they are imperial merchants. There are countless imperial merchants in Daxia, and it's rare for them to shuttle between aristocratic families like they do."

  Sheng Qiye wasn't very familiar with the Niu family either, but he also knew that their strength was extremely formidable.

  In these two years in Beijing, he has been making a big show of his wealth and power, not only obtaining the rights to operate salt and iron businesses, but also opening many rice shops and oil shops, and it is said that he will soon open a gold shop.

  "...Niu Datong is very interested in our Sheng family's Tianxia Pharmacy, and has mentioned several times that he wants to cooperate with us to help our Sheng family's Tianxia Pharmacy reach new heights." Sheng Qiye sighed, "He's really a formidable young man, a formidable young man indeed..."

  Sheng Siyan didn't say a word. Perhaps it was because she had been influenced by the first impression, but she held a reserved attitude towards the sudden rise of the Niu family and wouldn't have thought that it was due to Niu Dapeng's personal talent.

  And she had past life experiences. At that time, although she was mostly in bed, she was enthusiastic about reading books and newspapers, and later liked to surf the Internet.

  The strength of the Niu family. Sheng Siyan knew a thing or two about it when she first met Niu Xiaoye at Rongnuo Girls' School.

  It is absolutely impossible to become rich enough to rival a country in just five or six years.

  Unless they struck gold in their backyard over the past five or six years.

  But thinking of their relationship with Wang Ergou and the noble person behind him, Sheng Siyan's lips couldn't help but curve upwards.

  The Niu family really did strike gold...

  The father and daughter got off the bus laughing and chatting.

  Niu Dapeng is a businessman who has always been observant and attentive to all sides, with a talent for smooth talk.

  He was greeting various officials and nobles he knew when he suddenly saw the large carriage of the Sheng Guo Gong Fu, and hastily led Niu Xiao Ye over.

  "Lord Sheng!" Niu Datong bowed deeply on the ground, paying his respects to Lord Sheng. "I've been saying I'd bring Little Ye to visit your esteemed residence, but every time I sent a visiting card, it was said that someone in your household wasn't feeling well and couldn't receive guests. I don't know how things are now. If you need any help, just let me know."

  Niu Xiaoye looked at Sheng Sihuan's body and saw that she was still as chubby as a barrel, smiled with curved eyes, walked up to her, and said intimately: "So many days without seeing you. Do you miss me?"

  It's as if they never had any disagreements between them, always being good friends.

  Then Niu Xiaoye grasped Sheng Siyan's hand again.

  In an instant, Niu Xiaoye was stunned.

  Probably due to her plumpness, Sheng Siyan's small hands were soft and boneless, with a full body of tender flesh. Holding them in the palm of one's hand was smooth and slippery, truly warm, fragrant, and jade-like.

  Sheng Siyan let out an "aiyo" and pulled her hand out of Niu Xiaoye's tight grip, smiling lightly: "Your strength is really great, you're squeezing me so hard I can barely breathe."

  Niu Xiaoye covered her mouth and giggled, "You're still as spoiled as ever! Not a bit changed!"

  Sheng Siyan said: "You've changed a lot. You're so thin, I almost can't recognize you." His gaze swept across Niu Xiaoye's towering chest.

  It's true that girls need fat during puberty in order to satisfy certain developments...

  Niu Xiaoye proudly puffed out her chest, "Thanks to your father for helping me with my illness, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to lose weight." Then she went to pay respects to Sheng Qiye.

  Sheng Qiye smiled and said: "Alright then. Are you still taking that medicine?"

  "Eat, I don't dare forget for a whole day." Niu Datong hurriedly answered on behalf of his sister.

  Sheng Siyan couldn't help but feel a little envious of those who had brothers and sisters. As an only child, she couldn't wait for the arrival of Wang's baby.

  "It's delicious, but it'll take a year to finish eating." Sheng Qiye gave two sentences and saw Zheng Lao Yezi and Wu Lao Yezi walking towards him, so he hurriedly went up to greet them.

  Sheng Siyan took this opportunity to hastily bid farewell to Niu Xiaoye, saying "excuse me", and then followed behind Sheng Qiye.

  "Hey! Wait for me!" Niu Xiaoye habitually wanted to follow Sheng Siyan.

  Niu Datong hurriedly pulled her back, "Where are you going? The people from the four families are talking, wait a bit."

  Niu Xiaoye pouted, staring intently in the direction of Sheng Siyan, watching her chat happily with Zheng Yuer, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family. She felt a bit unhappy and muttered: "Won't she forget about me? I even saved her..."

  Niu Datong glared at her, "How dare you say that?! That matter was our fault towards the Sheng Guo Gong Fu. The Sheng family didn't hold a grudge and even helped you treat your injuries and cure your illness, yet you don't thank them but instead say such things?!"

  Niu Xiaoye shut her mouth and turned away, sulking.

  "...... Xiaoye! Come here, we were just guessing the other day when you would recover and come out to move around." Some familiar young ladies from the Niu family beckoned her over.

  Niu Xiaoye saw that the position of Sheng Siyan and Zheng Yuer was very close, so she put on a smile and walked over to chat with them.

  While talking, she perked up her ears and listened to what Sheng Siyan and Zheng Yuer were saying.

  Only after she heard clearly did she feel at ease.

  Sheng Siyan and Zheng Yuer should be just acquaintances.

  They were talking about the weather, flowers and grass, as well as new styles of clothes and jewelry, completely not the kind of topic that close friends would discuss in depth.

  Niu Xiaoye was in a great mood, and her laughter sounded especially bright and clear.

  Sheng Qiye bowed to Zheng Lao Yezi and Wu Lao Yezi, greeting them, and wished Zheng Lao Yezi good fortune like the East Sea, longevity like Mount Nanshan, may every year have today, and may every year have this morning.

  Old Zheng laughed with his mouth wide open and after teasing him for a bit, asked: "Are you here alone? What about your wife and daughter?"

  Sheng Qiye said: "The lady's pregnancy is already quite advanced, I don't dare to disturb her. However, Sheng Siyan has followed me here." He then called out for Sheng Siyan to come and pay his respects.

  Sheng Siyan walked over, bent his knees and paid respects to Old Man Zheng and Old Man Wu with a smile.

  The smile dazzled Zheng Lao Ye Zi and Wu Lao Ye Zi's eyes.

  Old Mr. Wu exclaimed, "Indeed, it's been three days since we last met and now I have to take a second look! It's only been a few days since we last saw each other, but your daughter has become even more beautiful!" If she weren't so chubby, she would be on par with his family's precious granddaughter, Juan.

  Sheng Qiye smiled and glanced at Sheng Siyan, then looked at Zheng Yuer who was standing behind her and said: "Siyan is still young, the two of you are overpraising. The eldest daughter of the Zheng family, Yu'er, is truly exceptional."

  "Zheng's family has produced a beauty! You're comparing Zheng's family to ours, aren't you looking down on our Wu family?" Old Master Wu pretended to be angry.

  "How dare you! How dare you!" The Seventh Master hastily cupped his hands and bowed, inviting a burst of laughter.

  "Ah, the kids have all grown up, and we've both gotten old!" Old Master Zheng sighed, stroking his mustache.

  "What's with you? You're getting more vigorous with age!" Old Mr. Wu said with a smile, and led Seventh Master Shi in together.

  Old Master Zheng instructed Zheng Yuer to treat Sheng Siyan well.

  Since the last time at Wu's family banquet, Sheng Siyan had a good impression of Zheng Yuer.

  Zheng Yuer was gentle and got along with everyone, she was indeed beautiful, although not as stunning as her younger cousin Zheng Xiangrong, but much more beautiful than ordinary beauties.

  She smiled and looked at Sheng Siyan again, saying: "Niu Daguang has lost weight, why can't you lose weight?"

  Next to her, a girl stared at Sheng Siyan and smiled with her sleeve covering her mouth: "Miss Sheng is still not thin yet. She's still fat now, and she's already surpassed us. What about when she gets thinner? We won't even have a foothold then!"

  Zheng Yuer hurriedly helped Sheng Siyan out of the situation. "Don't listen to Xiangniang's nonsense, she just likes to joke around and doesn't have any ulterior motives."

  The girl who just spoke was actually the granddaughter of Li Yongping, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, named Li Jinniang.

  "It's nothing. I know." Sheng Siyan smiled. Then she praised Xiangniang and said: "Sister Li says so, I would be ashamed. Look at Sister Li's icy skin and jade-like complexion, naturally fragrant and pure. When I was in the countryside, I heard that there is a Xiangniang in the capital city, who is a heavenly maiden descended to earth, born with fragrance!"

  It is said that when Li Ji Niang was born, the room was filled with a strange fragrance. When she was young, she loved the scent of gardenias the most. Whenever she cried and made a fuss, as long as she smelled the scent of gardenias, she would calm down. Therefore, her grandfather named her Ji Niang.

  This past event was what Li Ji Niang was most proud of, and she turned her scolding into joy, stroking the small face of Sheng Si Yan, "You're really clever, no wonder everyone spoils you. I also can't help but spoil you."

  Another girl next to her leaned over and grasped Li Xiangniang's shoulder, laughing: "Siyuan is much younger than us, no matter what, she can't snatch your beloved husband from you, what are you afraid of?"

  "Hum! Your Mr. Right is just a snatcher! Watch me tear your mouth to shreds!" As they spoke, the two of them started fooling around.

  Sheng Siyan hastily stepped back a step, tilting her head and smiling as she watched them tussle.

  As soon as there was a commotion here, some young men's eyes inevitably glanced over intentionally or unintentionally.

  The girls laughed even more happily, with more beautiful smiles and clearer voices.

  After everyone had made enough noise, Zheng Yuer pulled on Sheng Siyan's hand and smiled as she invited everyone in.

  Many noble ladies came today.

  The front gate of the Zhengguo Gong Mansion was even surrounded by a large area of streets with curtains.

  The noble ladies who get off the bus don't have to worry about being peeped by unrelated people anymore.

  Wu Chanjuan arrived with her parents a bit late.

  When they got off the bus, they saw that there were only a few people on the field and couldn't help but say: "Is it true that nobody came today?"

  "How is that possible? They must have all gone in." Zheng Suhui got off the carriage and looked around, pointing at the many carriages and fine horses for Wu Cuicui to see, "Look at so many carriages and horses, how can it be that no one has come?"

  What's more important is that next year will be the imperial examination, and Old Man Zheng is the one who sets the questions.

  When he celebrates his birthday, all the scholars under heaven would like to come and kowtow to him...

  "Old Mistress is back. Quick, this way, please!" A servant came running over and helped them drive the carriage away, while another led them inside.
