Chapter 278 She Would Never Admit She Was Wrong

Bird's nest, ginseng, silk, brocade and several boxes of exquisite pastries.

There were ten gift boxes of various sizes.

Fang smiled and apologized repeatedly: "You two gentlemen are so polite! This is too polite!"

Qiao Xuan understood the rules of these wealthy families, and hurried back to her room to prepare red envelopes. Each red envelope contained about one penny of silver, and she smiled and gave them to the coachman and Qu Shan and Xie Dong who came with them as rewards.

The three of them didn't expect to receive a reward for sending gifts to a country family like the Xie family. They were all very happy and thanked them with a smile on their faces. They had a good impression of the Shao family.

Qu Shan also told Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan that their master would send people to pick watermelons in two days, and they would probably arrive at dawn, so they were asked to open the door then.

Shao Yunduan agreed.

Yesterday, a distinguished guest came to the Shao family's main house in a horse-drawn carriage, and many people in the village saw it. Today was even more coincidental, and even more people saw it.

Several people were still outside the yard, craning their necks to look inside.

When they saw that it was a gift for the eldest branch of the Shao family, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement and discuss it with envy.

"The eldest branch of the Shao family has become very prosperous!"

"Hey, it's different when you marry a good daughter-in-law."

"Yun Duan is also promising. He passed the imperial examination and may pass the imperial examination next year. Oh, then all the people who come to the Shao family from now on will be rich people!"

"That's right!"

"Why!"

Widow Sun also saw the familiar carriage enter the village, and could not help but follow it. Naturally, she was also among those standing at the door looking in and whispering.

Hearing these words, Widow Sun felt jealous and angry. She pouted, snorted and walked away.

She would never admit that she actually regretted a little. She regretted not marrying the eldest daughter of the Shao family.

If I had known that Shao Yunduan was so promising, had passed the imperial examination and made so many rich friends, and that Fang had become so strong, this marriage would have been a great choice.

However, she suppressed the thought as soon as it came to her mind.

She would never admit that she had made a mistake.

"That's nothing. He's just a scholar. There are many poor scholars who can never pass the imperial examination. Humph, is it so easy to pass the imperial examination? What are you dreaming about?"

After complaining a few words, Widow Sun felt better.

When she looked up and saw Niu, her heart was moved, so she went forward with a smile and greeted her, saying with a smile: "Your nephew Shao Xiucai is getting more and more successful now. Yesterday, two rich young men came to visit the main house in a carriage, and today he sent servants to give gifts to the main house. Oh, my, there are more than ten big gift boxes, and two people can't hold them all! To be honest, those two young men who came yesterday, I happened to meet and take a look at them. Oh, they are so handsome! And the clothes they are wearing, you can tell at a glance that they are not from ordinary families!"

Widow Sun winked and nudged Niu with her elbow. She lowered her voice and said with a smile, "Hey, isn't your Meiling going to talk about this person? With this ready-made one, why don't you ask your nephew to help? After all, you know him and know him well. He's so young and handsome. Oh, it would be a pity if you missed him!"

Widow Sun really wanted to sell her daughter away, but she knew it was impossible.

Unless I catch the opportunity when those two come again.

She had just had a fight with Fang, how could Fang allow someone to introduce such a good family to her daughter? However, instigating Niu to stir things up would also help her vent her anger!
