Chapter 1043 Being a Guest
Taotao agreed happily and asked with great interest and in great detail.
Qiao Xuan naturally would not keep anything to herself. As soon as her consciousness checked the system in the space, she knew the habits and characteristics of strawberries clearly, and explained them to Taotao in detail.
Taotao has become more careful and steady than before, and she is also serious and meticulous. Qiao Xuan couldn't help but be a little dazed. Before she knew it, she is already sixteen years old this year.
Sixteen years old is the time to talk about others.
But the better the family's current conditions, the harder it is to find a marriage. It's difficult. I don't know which family will be the cheaper one in the future.
After Qiao Xuan's explanation, Taotao happily asked for help and left with the flower pots. These were the precious seedlings that were hard to come by. They were given to her by her fifth sister-in-law, so she had to take good care of them.
I heard from my fifth sister-in-law that the strawberries are bright red, with plump, soft and juicy flesh. The fruit has a sweet taste with a slight hint of sourness, and is especially delicious!
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to visit the Xie family. Fang was still nervous. She kept choosing clothes and felt that none of them were suitable. Those clothes that she liked very much on weekdays suddenly seemed to be out of place in every way.
In the end, it was Qiao Xuan who picked out for her an indigo blue jacket with a grape-twig pattern and a tea-white long skirt. Her hair was neatly tied up and pinned with a silver hairpin. The finishing touch was an elegant gold hairpin with the pattern of five blessings holding longevity. It was neat, clean, decent and elegant without losing its true nature.
Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked left and right, and everything seemed to please her. She smiled and said, "After all, they are from the Qiao family. They are different. Their vision is much better than that of us peasants!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Taotao had been taken to dress up by Qiao Xuan early in the morning. The bun was just right for a girl like her, making her look cute and lively.
Her hair was pinned with a newly opened pink rose and a Cordyceps and Kingfisher hairpin inlaid with pearls and rubies. Her eyebrows were lightly drawn and she applied a little lipstick, which did not cover her already excellent complexion, but made her look even more radiant.
She was wearing a light pink jacket embroidered with primroses and an ivory pleated long skirt, and she was as graceful as a delicate flower.
When Taotao came to Fang's place with Qiao Xuan, Fang, Yang Xiaoni and others were stunned and praised them continuously.
Taotao's pretty face flushed with praise, she lowered her head in embarrassment, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she was obviously very happy in her heart.
How could a girl of her age not like to dress up beautifully?
Once everything was ready, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, aunt and sister-in-law went out with Chunyu, Chunfen and Xiaoman and drove to Xie's house.
After seeing them off, Xu and Yang Xiaoni were free. They called Uncle Shao and made an appointment to go out for a walk together.
Shao Yunduan was invited by the largest local academy to be a guest today, so he had already left.
Madam Xie specially entertained Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law today. She knew that Fang came from the country and might not be used to it, so she didn't invite many guests, only the wives and daughters of five relatives and friends who were very familiar with her and had a very good relationship with her.
The Xie family is a true family of scholars and officials. Their mansion is neatly laid out, spacious and solemn. The servants in the mansion are well-behaved and behave themselves in a proper manner. When people enter the mansion, they become subconsciously nervous and dare not even breathe.
If it weren't for Qiao Xuan's company, and if it weren't for the fact that she had been to the Lezheng family before - although the Lezheng family and the Xie family had completely different styles, at least she had gained some experience, Fang would probably have been so nervous that she wouldn't know where to start.
