Chapter 1016 Return to the Provincial Capital
The prefect even specially ordered a table of food and invited several minor officials and legal advisors from the yamen to entertain them warmly.
Although Shao Yunduan is only a seventh-rank editor now, he has a promising future. He is still so young, who knows how far he will go in the future?
Moreover, he was a Beijing official, so naturally he was more honorable than local officials.
Moreover, he was the top scholar from this province, so the prefect was proud of him and was more willing to give him face.
The prefect originally wanted to ask his wife to entertain Qiao Xuan, but Shao Yunduan thanked him for the kindness and said that Qiao Xuan had gone to visit Madam Le Zheng, so the prefect gave up.
Naturally, everyone in the provincial capital knew about Shao Yunduan's winning the top prize.
Madam Le Zheng, Le Zheng Xiao, Xie Jingrong and others were all happy for him.
Madam Le Zheng was even more envious, and couldn't help but grab Le Zheng Xiao and scold him a few times: She didn't dare to think about winning the first place, but it would be good if she could win the juren! At least it would make her proud.
Le Zhengxiao's scalp tingled after hearing this, and he quickly found an excuse to slip away!
I heard that the top scholar had returned to the provincial capital to worship his ancestors. Madam Le Zheng was full of doubts and didn't know whether the news was true or not. She was sending someone out to find out more about it when Qiao Xuan came to her house with Lixia and Liqiu, smiling.
Lady Le Zheng was overjoyed and went to greet him in person.
Qiao Xuan also felt very friendly when she saw her, and the two of them talked and laughed like mother and daughter.
Qiao Xuan first went to pay her respects to Madam Le Zheng and presented her with a gift. The old lady was also very happy, and she was also a little polite in her happiness. She smiled warmly and talked to her for a long time.
The old lady had to admit that the eldest wife had such good taste in making friends.
When they went to Lady Le Zheng's place, Jin came over to say hello and they talked for a while. Qiao Xuan gave out rewards, and everyone in Lady Le Zheng's courtyard and those who came with Jin got a share, and they were all very happy.
Since Qiao Xuan had arrived, she naturally stayed at Madam Le Zheng's place for dinner.
Qiao Xuan talked to her about the scenery along the way and what she had seen in the capital, and they got along very well.
After dinner, Qiao Xuan dismissed her attendants and told Madam Le Zheng about what happened with the Tian family.
Fang didn't understand these things. She had no female elders to ask for advice, only Madam Le Zheng.
This matter had not been reported to the local authorities. Madam Le Zheng was shocked when she heard what Qiao Xuan said, and she was also trembling with fear and worried for her.
After hearing this, he couldn't help but put his hands together and chanted: "It's really Buddha's blessing! Buddha's blessing! Your luck is really amazing!"
Qiao Xuan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Maybe it's because I'm in the middle of a situation, I don't really think so."
"Do I need to tell you how dangerous this is?" Madam Le Zheng reproached, "Fortunately, Shao Zhuangyuan has a conscience. Otherwise, he would have joined hands with the Qiao and Tian families in the capital, and you would be alone and helpless. It would be really hopeless. Even if you disappeared in the capital, you wouldn't be able to make a splash. It's really too dangerous!"
Qiao Xuan was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was indeed the case.
I didn't think much of it at first, but now I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing it.
She forced a smile and said, "It seems that I am lucky. I didn't make a mistake about my husband."
Madam Le Zheng also laughed and said, "That's right! There are probably not many men like Shao Zhuangyuan in the entire Qin Kingdom! So, you are blessed!"
"It's just that - you two have no foundation, your father and stepmother have already gone to the capital, and when you return to the capital, there will definitely be trouble again. And the Tian family may not be willing to give up, so you still have to make plans early and pay more attention!"
