Chapter 1145 Kindness
If Shao Yunduan also comes back, then we need to send an invitation to a banquet to invite him to a meeting.
Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful to the local official. Although the county magistrate would not say anything openly, he would definitely be unhappy in his heart. Maybe in the future, when the Shao family needs help with something, people would intentionally or unintentionally take advantage of them.
It gets dark early at this time of year. When Qiao Xuan and her group entered the provincial capital, it was already completely dark. They drove straight to Le Zheng's mansion as if they were familiar with the route.
There were two rows of large lanterns hanging at the gate of Lezheng Mansion, illuminating the entrance.
Nanny Hua, who was beside Madam Le Zheng, was standing on the steps at the door with two maids, looking into the distance. When they saw the carriage approaching, they smiled and went forward to greet it.
"Mrs. Shao Wu is here. Our Madam is worried about you! It's getting dark early today. Did you have a smooth journey, Mrs. Shao Wu?"
Nanny Hua smiled as she stepped forward to help Qiao Xuan out of the carriage.
Seeing that it was her, Qiao Xuan felt a little embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. My journey has been smooth. How dare I trouble you to wait on such a day? Auntie, you are too polite!"
Nanny Hua smiled and said, "Madam thought you were almost here, so she sent me out to check on you. I don't deserve your words! Come in quickly. Madam has already ordered dinner to be prepared for you!"
Qiao Xuan giggled and said yes, "Once the sun sets, it gets very cold. When I think of the hot meals prepared by my aunt, I immediately feel warmer and more energetic!"
Madam Hua laughed out loud, "That's what the Madam said too. On a day like this, we should have a hot meal and a bowl of soup! We've prepared everything!"
The two of them went in chatting and laughing all the way.
Nanny Hua really liked Qiao Xuan more and more. It would have been fine in the past, because she and Shao Yunduan both came from small places and their family conditions were not very good. It was inevitable that she was polite in front of him at that time.
But now she is the wife of the top scholar and the wife of an official. Shao Zhuangyuan is so young and has such great knowledge and a bright future. It is rare that Qiao Xuan can still treat her as she did in the past.
Ma Hua has seen many people who become arrogant after gaining power!
Madam Le Zheng was waiting for Qiao Xuan. When they saw each other, they smiled and talked affectionately. Madam Le Zheng asked with concern, and ordered someone to bring a hot towel to wipe her face and hands, and brought her a sip of hot tea to warm her body. She talked about the weather incessantly, and they were as affectionate as mother and daughter.
After resting for a while, Madam Le Zheng ordered the meal to be served, and the two sat down opposite each other and ate together.
The meal was served at Madam Le Zheng's place. Six dishes and one soup were placed on the small redwood Ruyi-style round table. There were crab meat and pork belly, warm mixed kidney, hosta pork tenderloin, braised mutton, casserole tofu and fish head, bamboo fungus and black chicken soup. For Le Zheng's family, these were all very common dishes, but they were made very delicately, served in white bowls and plates, steaming hot, bright and attractive, and very soothing to the stomach and heart.
After dinner, they drank tea in the small flower hall and chatted about family matters.
Qiao Xuan also talked to Madam Le Zheng about the family affairs. She was far inferior to Madam Le Zheng in terms of social skills. If there was anything wrong, Madam Le Zheng could give her advice in time.
Qiao Xuan was filled with emotion when she heard that her eldest brother from her husband's family, who was so honest and kind, was being plotted against.
