Chapter 1665: Keep a Note on Qiao Xuan
So the two masters of the Fan family hastened to apologize to their mother and sister, and said that they would definitely think of a solution.
Only then did Old Mrs. Fan and Fan Ruyin become happy again.
When coming to the banquet today, Fan Ruyin was determined to take a good look at what Mrs. Shao looked like.
No, she was ready to be critical, but after meeting Qiao Xuan, she found that there was nothing to complain about.
This Mrs. Shao, so young, beautiful, gentle and elegant, dressed in gorgeous but not vulgar clothes, sitting among the crowd like a star, is a presence that will make people's eyes linger on her for a while at first sight.
Fan Ruyin felt a little confused, and couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or not.
In a rush of excitement, she didn't know why she took the initiative to smile and show her goodwill to Qiao Xuan. Perhaps it was out of curiosity, exploration, or perhaps she wanted to know some gossip about the truly powerful royal families in the capital.
After all, although the prefects of Anze Prefecture changed like a revolving lantern, none of them had ever come from the capital!
Lord Shao is the first one.
But even though she took the initiative to show her goodwill to Qiao Xuan, I don’t know whether others noticed it or not, but Fan Ruyin herself had a superior and condescending attitude.
In her opinion, since she, the aunt of the Fan family, one of the three major local families, was willing to take the initiative to show her goodwill to the new prefect's wife, the new prefect's wife should be surprised, happy and grateful.
However, Qiao Xuan's reaction had nothing to do with surprise, joy, or gratitude.
Although she had a smile on her face and spoke in a gentle tone, she was treated no differently than others.
This made Fan Ruyin feel depressed and she felt that she was being neglected by Qiao Xuan.
When Fan Ruyin picked up the teacup, her expression was not very good. She made a note of Qiao Xuan in her heart and said, "Just wait and see!"
Qiao Xuan was completely unaware of all this.
People gradually arrived, and it was almost noon.
Mrs. Guan smiled and wanted to ask Qiao Xuan for her opinion on whether to have the banquet first and then watch or listen to a play.
Qiao Xuan naturally had no objection, and she politely smiled and expressed her gratitude to Mrs. Guan.
Mrs. Guan smiled even more gently and generously, repeatedly saying that this was all she deserved, but in fact she cursed countless times in her heart.
The banquet was served. Madam Guan invited Qiao Xuan to sit at the main table. She then smiled and asked everyone to sit down. She looked up and said to Qiao Xuan, "Today, I asked people to prepare all the famous specialties of our Anze Prefecture. Madam Shao is a distinguished guest. You must taste them carefully later! Our Anze Prefecture dishes are delicious and have always been very popular among the locals!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Yes, the food in our Anzezhou is very unique!"
"Mrs. Shao must try it to see if she likes it!"
"Mrs. Shao will definitely like it!"
Qiao Xuan glanced at everyone calmly. Her smile was a little weird. She wondered what kind of dark dish Mrs. Guan had specially prepared for her?
She was actually quite interested.
If Mrs. Guan thought this would scare her into making a fool of herself, she would be disappointed.
The strange and bizarre things she had seen and eaten were probably things that many Mrs. Guan had never seen or heard of.
The first dish served had a foul odor before it was even served.
When she was seated at the table, the only people serving her were Lixia and Caiyue. Caihua, Liqiu and Qiaoqiao were in another place, together with Madam Guan's capable maids and servants, greeting the maids and servants who came with the ladies and daughters of various families.
