Chapter 1659 Welcome Banquet
"Mrs. Shao has been in Anze Prefecture for quite a few days now. I think she has rested well and recovered. A welcoming banquet is indispensable. I will host it. Mrs. Shao must give me this honor! Is it possible to hold it tomorrow night?"
Qiao Xuan had always remembered this matter. She also wanted to meet the wives of the local gentry and officials, and this opportunity was just right.
However, since she has already established her proud and arrogant personality in front of Mrs. Guan, she must continue to maintain it for the time being.
So she frowned, subconsciously showing a bit of disdain, and thought for a long time before reluctantly nodding: "Okay, then Madam Guan just make the arrangements, I will be there when the time comes."
Mrs. Guan almost choked to death with these words! She cursed in her heart: "I told you to put on airs! Put on airs!", "I told you to be arrogant! I told you to be arrogant!", "....."
"Okay, then the welcoming banquet will be held in the garden tomorrow. I will send someone to invite Madam Shao then!"
Madam Guan almost gritted her teeth as she spoke word by word, forcing a smile on her face as she stood up: "I still have things to do, so I won't disturb Madam Shao's rest. Goodbye!"
"Well, go ahead!"
“.…..”
Mrs. Guan's body swayed slightly, and she almost vomited blood. She turned around and left with a stern face.
Qiao Xuan and her servants had a good laugh.
Li Qiu said: "I should just piss her off. The people in the West Courtyard are so annoying!"
Caiyue, Mianmian and others felt the same way and agreed, talking at once.
The maids and servants in the West Courtyard always tried to get close to them in various ways. They often tried to find various reasons to run to the East Courtyard, trying to get close to them in order to find out about their masters.
It's really ridiculous. They are so short-sighted that I think I can appease them with some small snacks such as peanuts and melon seeds, an embroidered handkerchief, and two crude silk flowers. It's a nice idea.
Mrs. Guan felt that she had been greatly humiliated and insulted in front of Qiao Xuan. It was as if a fire was burning in her chest. She felt so disgusted that she couldn't help but vent her anger and cursed for a long time before the fire was gradually suppressed.
She subconsciously lowered her eyes to glance at her clothes. In order not to lose face in front of Qiao Xuan, she had dressed up carefully before meeting Qiao Xuan.
This dress was made of four-brocade tribute satin from the south of the Yangtze River. The patterns were beautiful and not vulgar, elegant and noble. The pair of gold hairpins inlaid with pearls and kingfisher feathers on her hair were also one of her most precious pieces of jewelry. The pearls on them were as big as thumbs, round and white, and the kingfisher feathers were even brighter and more gorgeous.
Who would have thought that after she had finally picked out a complete set of clothes, when she came in front of Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan didn't even look at her. The hairpins worn by the maids named Lixia and Liqiu beside Qiao Xuan, and the pearls on them were no different from hers.
She was so angry that her face turned hot.
When she inadvertently glanced at the green, emerald, and translucent jade bracelet on Qiao Xuan's wrist, which was as white as snow and frost, she couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself.
I know that not only my clothes but all my jewelry combined are not as good as this bracelet.
The best things do not need to be authenticated by experts. Even people who don’t know much about them will feel that they are extraordinary after taking a few glances.
