Chapter 453 Come Back Tomorrow

Qiao Xuan immediately perked up, stood up and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

Shao Yunduan gently pinched her wrist and whispered, "Let's talk about it after we get out."

Qiao Xuan nodded.

The two men said goodbye to the servant and left.

As they got in the car, Qiao Xuan asked Shao Yunduan eagerly, "Husband."

Shao Yunduan sighed lightly, as if he was a little frustrated, "Although I didn't meet the old gentleman today, this uncle is not simple either. He only took a rough look and said that my handwriting is too small, the strokes are erratic, and my character is not stable enough. In fact, I have the same feeling myself, but not as thoroughly as he said."

The servant's comments were quite sharp, blunt and impolite. Someone who didn't have self-awareness might not listen to them and might even mock the other person for pretending to know.

But Shao Yunduan is not such a person.

Although as a scholar, he felt a little hot on his face after hearing such comments, he knew in his heart that the comments made by this seemingly respectable servant were not wrong at all.

Qiao Xuan was stunned when she heard his detailed account.

She blinked and sighed, "So that old man I haven't seen is really capable?"

"I think so too," Shao Yunduan's eyes were also a little fiery, and he smiled and said, "The uncle asked me to come again tomorrow morning, and I should be able to see the old gentleman then."

Qiao Xuan's eyes sparkled: "My husband, keep your best efforts. If the old gentleman is really capable, I think it would be much better to get his guidance than to go to that low-class academy!"

The more Qiao Xuan thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible.

Shao Yunduan was also somewhat tempted, and nodded, "I'll come again tomorrow morning."

After they returned home, Shao Yunduan went into the study and silently pondered over a few articles, perhaps they would be useful tomorrow.

Qiao Xuan suddenly thought that if she went to visit Shao Yunduan again tomorrow, she would not go empty-handed. So, what gifts should she bring?

It turns out that the old man has a rather strange temper, so you have to think carefully about bringing gifts.

It can’t be too expensive, it’s inappropriate.

The best food is what is produced by farmers.

Qiao Xuan asked her mother-in-law for advice again. After some discussion, they prepared two pieces of bacon, a few slices of sausage, a bag of dried radish, a bag of pickled plums, a few fresh winter bamboo shoots, and a few salted duck eggs and preserved eggs.

There isn’t much of each item, but they are all homemade and carefully prepared, showing great thought.

In the evening, Qiao Xuan told Shao Yunduan about it. Shao Yunduan's eyes were gentle and he thanked her with a smile, "My lady, you are very thoughtful. Thank you very much!"

Qiao Xuan's face was slightly hot, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Mom also makes decisions, not just me!"

"Well," Shao Yunduan chuckled, "Mom is thoughtful too!"

After breakfast the next day, Shao Sanlang drove the carriage to take Shao Yunduan there.

Except for Qiao Xuan who was nervous, everyone else was unaware and just thought Shao Yunduan was an ordinary visitor.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Shao Liulang suddenly came to the house.

"Oh, uncle and aunt, this is terrible! My fifth cousin did something wrong and offended our academy's Dean Meng. Dean Meng was furious and kicked him out! From now on, he can no longer go to our academy!"

"Oh my, what shall I do?"

"What do you think Fifth Cousin did? No matter what he does, he can't offend Dean Meng! Dean Meng is a gentleman, he should be respected! He is too ignorant!"
