Chapter 169: County Magistrate Qiao was stunned
The little brother and sister: “.”
Shao Taotao became excited: "Fifth sister-in-law, I, I will definitely study hard! I promise not to tell anyone else! Promise!"
Qiao Xuan smiled: "Well, Fifth Sister-in-law believes you!"
Shao Taotao was very happy, full of energy and confidence.
It was like a dream, she never thought that this day would come.
No wonder my mother always says that Fifth Sister-in-law is a lucky star. Isn’t Fifth Sister-in-law the lucky star of our family?
Such a big deal has been concluded and we have made a decent amount of money, so of course we have to celebrate in the evening.
So Qiao Xuan bought some more pork to cook. When she saw the pork liver, pork kidneys and other internal organs, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten these things for a long time, so she bought some as well.
I also bought a lot of ingredients for making braised dishes, such as fennel, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, licorice, tangerine peel, etc., and went back to boil the brine and make a pot of braised dishes.
Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi's eyes lit up: "Fifth sister-in-law is going to make delicious food again!"
After Qiao Xuan and the others returned home, Xie Jingrong immediately sent his entourage to the county government office to announce to Magistrate Qiao that he would leave Heshan County the next day.
He originally came here to look for the 500-year-old Polygonum multiflorum. Now that he has got it, it is time for him to go back.
Grandma is still waiting for the Polygonum multiflorum to be prepared as medicine.
County Magistrate Qiao had entertained him before, so now that he was leaving, he should naturally say hello to this official.
Le Zhengxiao also wanted to go back quickly. He had to go back and arrange the lipstick business properly.
He intends to treat this business as his own private business and not to mix it with the public.
Every family has its own troubles, and their Le Zheng family was not very peaceful either.
When County Magistrate Qiao heard the news, he was stunned.
Why are you leaving now?
He discussed it with Master Lu for a while, and Master Lu hurried to visit him at the inn.
Master Lu asked indirectly why Xie Jingrong suddenly decided to leave?
Aren't you here to look for 500-year-old Polygonum multiflorum?
Xie Jingrong did not hide it from him and smiled reservedly: "I am lucky this time. I have found the 500-year-old Polygonum multiflorum. Naturally, I should go back."
Master Lu was shocked like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
"Mr. Xie is really lucky! But I wonder where did Mr. Xie get this Polygonum multiflorum? Ah, haha, I don't mean anything else, but this, this poor mountain and bad water has many unruly people, I am worried that Mr. Xie might be cheated. After all, our master is the local official, ahem, it will be safer for the master to come forward to investigate, what do you think, Mr. Xie?"
Master Lu is worthy of being Lord Qiao's confidant. He is extremely dedicated and works very hard for Lord Qiao!
Even so, he was still able to rack his brains to find an opportunity to get a piece of the pie for his master.
But he did not think about it. As the eldest grandson of the Xie family's eldest branch, Xie Jingrong had received an elite education since childhood, even though he had not yet taken part in the imperial examination. Could a legal advisor like him easily deceive him?
If he was so useless, how could the Xie family let him go? Otherwise, who knows how much trouble it would cause to the family.
Xie Jingrong saw through Master Lu's plan at a glance. Didn't Master Qiao just want to share some of the credit and make the Xie family owe him a favor?
How can you say such shameless words? It's really despicable!
How could Miss Qiao have such a father?
"No need." Xie Jingrong said only three words, not wanting to say another word to Master Lu, and politely sent the guest away.
