Chapter 1075 It’s Time to Treat Me to Dinner
However, his two brothers asked him to promise that the Tian family would never vent their anger on the Qiao family, but he didn't dare to guarantee it!
In the end, he had to agree with his two brothers' opinions and pretend to be deaf and dumb for the time being, pretending that he didn't know that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had returned.
Mrs. Qiao was very angry when she found out.
But the main house is not the place where she can have the final say.
In the main residence of the Qiao family in Beijing, although she was a master, she was the least familiar master to everyone and the one with the least power. No one paid attention to her opinions.
The next day, Nanny Ling returned the four thousand taels of silver to Qiao Xuan.
So when Shao Yunduan returned home that night, Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Let's not cook dinner tonight. Let's go to a nice restaurant and celebrate!"
Shao Yunduan laughed loudly, "My lady is a good judge of vision. We have made a fortune for nothing. Shouldn't we celebrate it?"
The two of them then took Lixia, Liqiu and Songshi with them to go to Moya Pavilion, where the roasted whole lamb and beef head were the most famous.
I had a very enjoyable meal and didn't feel sorry at all for spending two hundred taels of silver.
Anyway, this money is like picking it up for free.
There has been no response from the Qiao family since Ling Ma'am's visit. Qiao Xuan knew the truth and said to Shao Yunduan with contempt, "Look, my husband, they keep silent when the Tian family is mentioned. The Tian family has really helped us a lot!"
Shao Yunduan smiled and did not mention the Tian family.
The Tian family cannot be mentioned. Anyway, he doesn't want to mention it.
He thought for a moment and said slowly, "We can't just let them do whatever they want. I should invite Qiao Hongxi and my colleagues from the Hanlin Academy to have a meal together."
Qiao Xuan blinked, not quite understanding what Shao Yunduan meant, "What does this mean!"
Shao Yunduan smiled and turned his head to talk to Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan's eyes flickered and the corners of her lips curled up, "My husband still has a way. It's time to treat you colleagues to a good meal. Go to a better restaurant, no need to save money! Anyway, there is no way to spend all the four thousand taels of silver!"
Shao Yunduan laughed: "My lady is right!"
Naturally, four thousand silver coins could not be eaten up no matter how much one spent. If Qiao Hongxi knew about this, he would probably vomit blood.
The next day, Shao Yunduan politely told his colleagues and several core superiors of the Hanlin Academy about inviting them to dinner. He invited about twenty people in total and asked for a large private room that could accommodate two tables.
Shao Yunduan booked Chunxilou, a mid- to high-end restaurant. A table of good food would cost about one hundred taels of silver, not including drinks.
Most of the Hanlin Academy members were so poor that they could not even afford meat every day. Some of them could only budget carefully and eat steamed buns with porridge and pickles at the end of the month, let alone going to a restaurant.
Even if invited by colleagues, they would always go to small hotels where a meal cost two or three taels of silver. Most people had never been to a place like Chunxi Tower.
As soon as Shao Yunduan said that he wanted to invite everyone to have dinner at Chunxi Tower, the mere mention of this place made everyone excited and they all had a good impression of him!
If someone else was treating, maybe some people would say something sarcastic to show off, but Shao Yunduan would not do that.
He had just received a reward from the palace before returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors. How much silver was that? The money must have been the reward for his dinner.
If everyone goes to this meal, it can be considered as a blessing. Maybe such a good thing will happen to you next time.
