Chapter 1716 Rich Family Assets
In the east courtyard, Qiao Xuan ordered people to place a reclining chair so that she could sit back and relax.
She seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, but in fact she hardly missed a beat of the chatter and laughter in the garden.
Although the various sounds may sound a bit noisy, a lot of useful information can be collected from them.
She listened for a while, until she felt a little tired, then she smiled, stood up, took Caiyue's hand and went back to the house, and ordered someone to put away the recliner.
The banquet that day was a great success.
Not only did the dishes at the banquet receive rave reviews from everyone, but the fragrant tea that was specially served for the opera afterwards was the famous Golden Bud, which also stole the spotlight!
This is genuine, premium golden bud. No other restaurant is so generous as to be willing to serve it to guests without any regret!
Most of the ladies present had never drunk Golden Buds. Only a few had, but the amount was very small. How could they afford to drink it casually on weekdays? Only when entertaining guests would they be willing to brew a little, and their family members would taste it by the way.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Shao didn't take the golden sprouts seriously at all!
Some people have seen that what they drink at the beginning of summer and the beginning of autumn is also this golden sprout.
Looking at their expressions, it seemed as if this was just a very ordinary little thing!
This made everyone feel even worse.
I couldn't help but feel a little more respect for Lord and Mrs. Shao.
To be able to spend so much money, it is definitely not just because of a rich family. There must be other connections that are unknown to others.
You have to know that wealth and honor, when you are rich to a certain level, is definitely inseparable from nobility.
Without the protection of the noble, this wealth may not be kept! The same is true in reverse. If you are not rich enough, you can't make friends with the noble...
Before, everyone thought it was a joke that Lord Shao went to Anze Prefecture to take office and try to "achieve great things", but now, no one can laugh.
Who knows? This Lord Shao is indeed different from other prefects, and so is this Mrs. Shao. The wives of the previous prefects, who dared to go head-to-head with the three major families? This one dared.
Didn't you see that the two girls, Lixia and Liqiu, dared to announce the names of the dishes with a smile, making the old lady from the Fan family so angry that her face turned blue and white?
From this point of view, I have to be more careful in my future actions, so as not to be pushed out as cannon fodder by the three major families. Especially the Fan family, they are arrogant and ruthless...
The banquet ended and everyone left one after another.
Lixia and Liqiu took Qiao Xuan's place to see her off.
Someone asked with a smile if they wanted to say goodbye to Mrs. Shao, but both of them refused.
Everyone knew what was going on and stopped talking about it.
The Fan family was the last to arrive and was almost the first to leave.
When she left, Fan Ruyin's face was still ashen.
When they got home, Mrs. Fan asked how the banquet went. Fan Ruyin's eyes turned red and she raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears, feeling very aggrieved.
Mrs. Fan was shocked when she saw this. She quickly comforted her daughter and scolded her two daughters-in-law: "What's wrong with you? How can you watch your sister being bullied and do nothing? Yin'er is so wronged, but you are just fine! I haven't even closed my eyes yet, and you are targeting her and despising her like this! What will happen in the future!"
Old Mrs. Fan was so furious that she scolded her daughters-in-law, one over 40 and the other over 30, until they couldn't even raise their heads.
Mrs. Fan II couldn't help but try to explain, but just as she opened her mouth she was rebuked by Mrs. Fan even more angrily.
