Chapter 125 Don't worry, they have face
After a while, President Meng of Minghua Academy and Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wu also arrived.
The three of them had excited looks on their faces.
"I didn't expect that Lord Qiao would come today! Lord Qiao is in a good mood today, and he and County Magistrate Zhang are setting up a banquet in front, and asked everyone in our academy to go over and have some fun together. Let's go now! By the way, Madam Qiao and Miss Qiao are also here, you all should behave well, and remember not to lose your manners in front of Lord Qiao and Madam Qiao."
All the students were surprised and delighted when they heard this.
"Very good!"
"Oh, this is rare!"
"Don't worry, Dean and gentlemen, the students will definitely perform well!"
Everyone was excited, and more eyes inevitably fell on Shao Yunduan intentionally or unintentionally, and the envy and jealousy in their hearts deepened.
This guy is Mr. Qiao's son-in-law. Maybe Mr. Qiao invited everyone to come here just to honor him.
Everyone went over and Qiao Xuan followed.
Shao Yunduan tilted his head to look at her, his eyes earnest and filled with worry.
Qiao Xuan smiled at him and shook her head gently, "Don't worry, they have to save face."
They have to save face, so they will never do anything to her in public.
After all, Lord Qiao is her biological father. Now that she knows his family is here, it would be wrong for her not to go over and pay her respects.
Lord Qiao joined the common people in enjoying the race and led all the officials in the yamen to watch the dragon boat race. Naturally, he would not mingle with the common people, but occupied the best position. The yamen runners stood guard and drove the common people away.
That area is located at a high altitude with a wide view. It is neither too far nor too close to the river bank, so one can have a perfect view of the dragon boat race. It is lively but not crowded.
When everyone arrived here, their ears felt quiet and the noisy noise became much farther away.
Everyone came forward and bowed.
Lord Qiao's plump, white face was filled with a kind and amiable smile. He raised his hand to ask everyone to excuse themselves, exchanged a few polite words with Dean Meng, and then asked them to take a seat.
Qiao Xuan lowered her eyebrows and stepped forward to salute: "Dad, Mother!"
"You - you are here too? Well, okay, okay." Lord Qiao was stunned when he saw Qiao Xuan, and almost asked "Who are you?" Fortunately, he saw Qiao Xuan's appearance clearly and suddenly remembered that this was his concubine's daughter, otherwise it would be very embarrassing.
Lord Qiao was a little surprised. He felt that the girl in front of him seemed different from before. No wonder he couldn't recognize her at first.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind and he didn't think much about it. After all, he was not close to this girl before and he only saw her once every one or two months. He was not really familiar with what she was like in the past.
The expressions of Madam Qiao and Qiao Wei, mother and daughter, really changed, especially Qiao Wei, whose eyebrows were raised and her eyes were fierce. If Madam Qiao had not gently squeezed her hand under the long table, she might have started to scold.
Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Xuan'er is here too, that's good, come and sit over here!"
"Yes, mother!"
Qiao Xuan responded with a smile, and walked over calmly and gently, and sat down on the other side of Mrs. Qiao.
After sitting down, she looked up and met Shao Yunduan's concerned gaze, then smiled at him. Shao Yunduan felt a little relieved.
She was right. Mrs. Qiao had to save face in public.
Not everyone in the academy had a seat. Only Dean Meng and others who had the title of scholar had seats. Everyone else stood behind the group.
Only Shao Liulang is special.
There will be four updates tomorrow. I'm just being lazy today.
