Chapter 207 Ma's heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles
Yang Liang and his wife's faces turned red and white, and they slammed the gate of the yard shut.
"Ah! I'm so angry! I'm so angry! The Shao family is too much! I'm not done with them."
Tian was almost mad with anger and started cursing wildly.
There were some shrewd and curious people who wanted to watch the fun and enjoyed the show. They knew that Tian would not calm down, so they did not leave. Instead, they lay on the door of Yang Liang's yard and eavesdropped.
He heard clearly the series of vicious curses that Tian uttered in anger.
Then he rolled his eyes, spat in disdain, and happily went to share gossip with the villagers.
The Shao family's main house was lively and festive, and was not influenced by the Yang family at all.
Fang was a very thrifty person and she secretly added some money, so the wedding was very lively and festive.
There was plenty of melon seeds, peanuts, and tea, but candied fruits were more expensive. It was not that Fang did not have the money to buy them, but they were too eye-catching, so the candied fruit box was refilled every hour.
This time we bought four kinds of candied fruits: apricots, candied dates, hawthorn cake, and green and red shredded fruits. They were very popular and once the cans were filled, they were quickly taken away by adults and children.
Qiao Xuan followed Fang, and when relatives and friends came, she followed Fang to recognize them.
Everyone knew that she was the daughter of Lord Qiao, and she had attended her wedding banquet not long ago. The county magistrate's daughter was a rare thing for the country people, so everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
They were very polite, warm and friendly to her. No one dared to criticize her. Instead, they found many advantages in her that other girls and wives in the village did not have, and they talked about her in a low voice, such as her good manners, her polite manners, her manners in her speech and walking, and her good looks, as well as her different facial expressions and complexions.
Finally, everyone came to the conclusion: She is indeed worthy of being the daughter of Lord Qiao, she is better than others!
Then they couldn't help but express their envy: The eldest branch of the Shao family is really amazing, they are probably going to become very rich.
Shao Yunduan is already a scholar, and he married Mr. Qiao's daughter. With such a powerful father-in-law, he will definitely become an official in the future.
When people around heard these words, no matter whether they felt envious, sour, sentimental or jealous, they were all relatives and friends. So many people were here, and it was the day when the eldest branch of the Shao family was having a wedding. They would all praise and say some nice things.
Only Ma felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles after hearing this.
Shao Yunduan was just lucky, what's the big deal? Her son's knowledge was obviously much better than Shao Yunduan's, but he was not feeling well during the exam and failed to pass the exam, so Shao Yunduan got the advantage.
If Shao Yunduan had not been possessed by the scholar, even if he had saved Lord Qiao's daughter, how could Lord Qiao have married his daughter to him?
If his son passed the imperial examination, Shao Yunduan would be nothing. Even if Shao Yunduan saved Qiao Xuan, Master Qiao might let his son marry her. Since she was Master Qiao's daughter, his family would not despise her. Of course, she had to behave herself and be sensible after she got married.
How great it would be if that were the case!
By marrying into the Qiao family, his own son will surely become an official; and as for Qiao Xuan’s dowry, he can use it however he wants, right?
Moreover, during festivals or other occasions, I can also visit the county magistrate's house as a guest, and maybe I can also go to other wealthy families with my mother-in-law to have dinner.
The more wealthy people you know, the more connections you will have, which will always be useful in the future.
