"Xiaofeng, come here," Chu Qing waved to Xiaofeng, "This is Elder Xu, a senior. You should greet him for the New Year, and please ask him to take good care of you when you are in the Imperial Capital."
Xiaofeng handed the child in her arms to Xiaonian and bowed slightly to Elder Xu: "Xiaofeng wishes Grandpa Xu health, longevity, and all the best."
Elder Xu had assumed that Xiaofeng was from a small place and would be somewhat intimidated by his presence. Yet she stood opposite him, neither servile nor overbearing, her words easy and confident.
"Where are you from?" Elder Xu squinted, sizing up the young girl before him.
From her appearance, she seemed quite young, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old.
"I am from Xijiang County. I met my godparents there when they came for business, and we got along very well, so we recognized each other as family," Xiaofeng stood opposite Xu Xuezi. Xiaofeng wore no makeup, while Xu Xuezi had a light touch of makeup.
