Chapter 1644 Arrogance
Lixia and Liqiu helped Qiao Xuan get off the carriage. When everyone entered the yard and the main house, this was the scene they saw.
Guanzhou Cheng Zhou Zheng had an apologetic look on his face: "I'm really sorry, Master Shao, this - when the previous prefect left, he took all the furniture away or sold it. Those were all bought by him. This - how about I send someone to the store to buy them?"
"No need, these are just small matters, I can handle them myself!"
"Well, that's fine. Your Excellency must have good taste, and the things you choose yourself will be more to your liking. I will not interfere. I will have someone take your little brother to the market later."
Shao Yunduan did not comment, "Thank you for your hard work today, Guanzhou Cheng. After everything settles down, I will host a banquet to entertain you all. In the future, there will be many places where you will need Guanzhou Cheng's help! Guanzhou Cheng, please don't think I am annoying."
"No, no, no, my lord, you are joking!" Guanzhou Cheng smiled with wrinkles on his face and waved his hands. "Alas, I am your right-hand man and obey your orders! If you need me for anything, just ask. I will tell you everything I know and help you share your worries!"
"...I dare not trouble you to spend money. Once you are settled, I will hold a banquet for you, hahaha!"
Shao Yunduan smiled and exchanged a few polite words with him, and then Guanzhou Cheng left.
However, just when Guan Zhoucheng was about to leave, Qiao Xuan suddenly called him, with a slightly arrogant tone: "Guan Zhoucheng, right? When will Madam Guan come to pay her respects? If it's too late, tell her not to come today and come tomorrow! I'm also a little tired and want to rest early!"
Guan Zhoucheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on a smile and apologized repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I was not feeling well today, so I did not show up. Please forgive me, Madam Shao. I will come to pay my respects to Madam Shao tomorrow when I feel better!"
Qiao Xuan didn't appreciate his apology at all, and snorted, "Feeling unwell? What a coincidence!"
This statement was almost as if she was pretending.
Even though Guanzhou Cheng was eloquent and good at speaking, he was still caught off guard by Qiao Xuan's words.
In his opinion, everyone carries the sedan chair, you praise me and I praise you, everyone gives each other face, it's good for you, it's good for me, it's good for everyone, and everyone is happy!
Such an arrogant and hard-nosed person, really, really——
However, Guanzhou Cheng was indeed a smiling Buddha. He was caught off guard for only a moment, and soon his face was full of smiles again.
That smile was extremely kind and amiable. "Haha, Madam Shao is really good at joking... My wife has never been in good health. She was still talking about Madam Shao a few days ago and was looking forward to meeting her soon!"
Qiao Xuan's expression eased a little, she glanced at him and said nothing more.
Guanzhou Cheng said a few more polite words before really leaving.
Song Shi sent away the two male and two female maids who were originally serving in the yard, closed the yard door, and everyone started moving luggage and assigning tasks.
In the main room, there was a Luohan bed, an octagonal table, a chair on each side of the table, a long table, and an antique shelf partition that could not be removed, and nothing else.
Shao Yunduan quickly embraced Qiao Xuan, and told Lixia, Liqiu and others to quickly spread the Luohan bed, and helped Qiao Xuan sit down: "Madam, take a rest. Lixia, go to the kitchen and boil some hot water. Find the snack box and put it on the table. Let Madam fill her stomach first..."
