Chapter 1411 Weird
Shao Yunduan thought about the attitude that seemed to be flattering, intentional or unintentional, and felt that his intuition should be correct... right?
After hearing what he said, Qiao Xuan was too lazy to think about it anymore and said with a smile, "Forget it, since he gave it to us, let's accept it. We can give him a big gift when he gets married in the future!"
I have already accepted this gift, so it is difficult to return it.
Moreover, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan both knew that even two hundred thousand silver coins were just a small amount of money for a real wealthy man like Zhao Shu.
It was not that he would be hurt if he gave him this valuable gift. If that were the case, he would not accept this gift.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shu seemed to be addicted to giving gifts. On the second and third day, Aunt Qing came to the house with a smile and gave gifts. They were either expensive things like the ones she had given before, or things she had bought in the capital.
The first day they delivered exquisite dim sum and premium bird's nests from Jinxiangzhai, and the next day they delivered eighteen kinds of dried fruit preserves and a box of sea cucumbers and abalone from Ruixiaju.
Qiao Xuan also felt that they were too polite and wanted to refuse, but Aunt Qing smiled and said that this was not a valuable thing, just a small token of her appreciation, and it would be too polite if she did not accept it.
It was not a good look to push and shove, so Qiao Xuan had no choice but to accept it.
Shao Yunduan became more and more certain that something must be wrong with Zhao Shu. He would wait and see what he would say...
On the day when Zhao Shu and his servant came to visit, Qiao Xuan specially prepared a table of delicious dishes. Buddha jumps over the wall, black-bone chicken with soft-shell turtle, longan and old duck soup, steamed ham, winter bamboo shoots with porcini mushrooms, stir-fried pea sprouts grown at home, etc. Although they looked homely, they actually took a lot of thought to prepare and used many high-quality ingredients.
Just to make a pot of stock, a lot of delicacies from land and sea are used.
Every dish served steaming hot will whet your appetite.
It is obvious to people whether someone puts thought into something or not.
"Mrs. Shao's cooking skills are truly rare! We are in for a treat today!"
Zhao Shu praised him endlessly.
Qiao Xuan smiled and joked, "I haven't even tasted it yet, but Master Zhao is already praising me like this. If it doesn't turn out well, don't be disappointed!"
Zhao Shu laughed and said, "No way! If it looks delicious, it must be really delicious!"
Qiao Xuan couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
There were no outsiders around, and as there were only a few people, there was no need to be so formal. The three of them sat down at a table, and Shao Yunduan, as the host, took the initiative to invite them.
Zhao Shu was courteous and polite, and his responses were measured and measured, making the meal a very enjoyable one for both the host and the guests.
After dinner, everyone drank tea and talked in the side room. The kang was lit and there was a large brazier, so the small room was very warm.
It dispels the chill in the chilly spring weather.
Zhao Shu seemed a little absent-minded, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Even Qiao Xuan vaguely sensed that something was wrong and was very puzzled.
Shao Yunduan was amused when he saw this. What on earth did this person want to say? Why was he so embarrassed?
If he keeps procrastinating like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to speak anymore.
No matter what happened, Shao Yunduan wanted everything to be clear and explicit. After all, they were partners. Especially since he and his wife would be going to Qingdi soon, he had to ask Zhao Shu to help take care of things in the capital, and he couldn't let him feel conflicted.
Although he has a close relationship with the Eastern Palace, Shao Yunduan is not so bold as to ask the prince to help look after his family's small assets.
Even if you ask the Crown Prince for a favor and he agrees, he will also ask the stewards of the Eastern Palace to look after it.
