Chapter 2315: Comparing with Qiao Xuan
But Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Wei were both strongly opposed!
What's interesting about the mother and daughter is that when it comes to choosing a son-in-law, they both insist on comparing him with Qiao Xuan.
What's the point of marrying a scholar who may not even pass the imperial examination in the future? Isn't it just laughable?
If I run into Shao Yunduan in the officialdom in the future, wouldn’t I be inferior to him if I happened to meet him one day?
Lord Qiao couldn't persuade the mother and daughter, so he had to give up in anger.
After all, Mrs. Qiao has always loved Qiao Wei. If she disagrees and Qiao Wei refuses, he can't force his daughter to marry.
Naturally, this young master of the Miao family was not on the list of Madam Qiao and Qiao Wei at the beginning.
It's true that the Miao family is wealthy, but they are a merchant family. Mrs. Qiao doesn't think highly of them at all, and neither does Qiao Wei.
But this Mr. Miao is so smart. He wants to marry Qiao Wei. As long as he marries the county magistrate's daughter, it will be of great benefit to him and the Miao family.
He also heard that Lord Qiao came from the capital, which was no ordinary person, and he would lead the Miao family to a higher level in the future.
So Mr. Miao began to pursue Qiao Wei passionately.
Originally, Guangdong was much more open than the Central Plains and the capital. There were not so many rules and restrictions between men and women. As long as there was no extramarital affair or anything shameful or dishonorable in secret, open pursuit was normal.
Sometimes it even becomes a legend!
Where had Qiao Wei seen such a scene before?
Some people pursued her and expressed their admiration in various ways, which greatly satisfied her vanity.
Especially when she thought that Qiao Xuan had never enjoyed such treatment, she felt even more satisfied.
After a few interactions, Qiao Wei was moved!
Mrs. Qiao loved her daughter dearly, and was also delighted by Mr. Miao's flattery, so she felt that the Miao family was a good family.
The Miao family is wealthy and powerful, what's wrong with that?
Even if Mr. Miao does not pursue a career in politics, will he definitely be able to succeed?
Besides, when they have children in the future, if they educate them well from childhood, and their children pass the imperial examinations, won’t they be able to be proud and bring honor to the family, and let those short-sighted people take a good look at them!
Anyway, no matter what, Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Wei are right.
Lord Qiao was no match for the mother and daughter, so he had to agree to the marriage.
When the news spread that Shao Yunduan had successively captured Hangzhou City and Jiangning and occupied a large area of prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, the servants of Lord Qiao's family became nervous and spread the news to the whole world to prove their master's identity. The Miao family also became nervous.
Although some careful people secretly wondered, Lord Shao has been independent for a long time, right? Why didn't they hear what Lord Qiao and the Qiao family said before...
However, no one dared to ask the Qiao family such questions at this time. They would only inquire secretly.
But Nanyue is too far away from the capital, and the world is in chaos. Few people dare to travel far away easily, and it is even more difficult to find out any news.
If you ask around locally, or even go to Yuzhang to ask, what you can find out is limited, but you will know something at least.
Even so, more people don’t know it.
More and more people tried to curry favor with the Qiao and Miao families, and the Miao family took advantage of this to rise in power and did many things in a domineering manner.
After the people Shao Yunduan sent over made inquiries, what could they not find out?
Shao Yunduan was so angry that he laughed. He ordered people to collect evidence secretly. He was waiting for Lord Qiao and his family to knock on his door.
