Chapter 277 Both of them are disgusted
Qiao Xuan also secretly gave Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi one hundred taels each.
If they hadn't accompanied me into the mountains, I wouldn't have been able to get the top-quality teas like Golden Bud and Purple Heart.
Shao Taotao and Shao Xiaoqi knew that their fifth sister-in-law was generous, and since she said it was for them, they just took it and thanked her happily and generously, each adding to their own little coffers.
Thinking that Le Zhengxiao would send people to pick the watermelons in three days, Qiao Xuan took the time to go to the garden twice more, using her special powers to help the growth, making the watermelons grow better and faster.
In the county town, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong returned to the inn. The attendant who stayed behind presented them with a note: it was sent by County Magistrate Qiao, who sent Master Lu.
Invite the two to have dinner at Yanhelou in the evening.
Both of them were disgusted.
Le Zhengxiao said with a smile: "Master Qiao is well-informed. I didn't expect him to know about our arrival so quickly."
Xie Jingrong felt a little nervous and asked hurriedly, "Does he know where we are going?"
Xie Xi, who stayed at the inn, said hurriedly, "Of course I don't know. I only said that the young master and Young Master Le Zheng went out to play."
The two of them went out for fun, and Lord Qiao didn't expect them to be suspicious of this, and he didn't dare to send anyone to investigate and track their whereabouts.
"That's good."
Le Zhengxiao's expression also changed slightly: "If we send people to Shaoding Village, we still have to be careful!"
Xie Jingrong also nodded.
They are no strangers to family fights. If Lord Qiao knew that they were familiar with Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan and her family would never have a peaceful life.
Not to mention that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan are so good at making money.
Since they treat them as friends, they should not implicate their friends or bring trouble to them because of their own reasons.
Le Zhengxiao threw the invitation in his hand aside and said with a lazy smile: "Since Lord Qiao is hosting us, let's go. If we don't go tonight, we can still go tomorrow night. After all, he is the leader of this place, so we have to give him some face."
Although the Le Zheng family is engaged in business, they are powerful and are a well-known wealthy family in the provincial capital. They have a close relationship with a general in an important city in the northwest border. Le Zhengxiao does not think highly of a small county magistrate like Lord Qiao.
Naturally, there is no respect for him when speaking of him.
Besides, this Lord Qiao is really not a respectable person.
Xie Jingrong frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he realized that this made sense, so he didn't refuse.
In the evening, Qian, Wang Yan and Lou attended the banquet. Lord Qiao, County Magistrate Zhang, Mr. Lu, President Meng of Minghua Academy, and two local wealthy sons were all there, and they entertained the two of them warmly.
Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong looked at the table full of greasy dishes, but couldn't help but think of the lunch they had at Shao's house at noon. It was light and refreshing, yet full of flavor, much better than what they had in front of them.
Lord Qiao was very attentive, and Xie Jingrong and the other two responded perfunctorily.
Lord Qiao asked the two men indirectly, smiling, if there was anything they needed his help with.
He didn't believe that they came to Heshan County just for sightseeing.
He failed to seize the opportunity last time regarding Polygonum multiflorum, but now that the opportunity has come again, he certainly cannot let it go.
The two of them were even more disgusted and passed it off vaguely.
Le Zhengxiao thought that he really had to be extra careful when contacting the Shao family in the future.
The next day, Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong prepared generous gifts again and sent them to Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan along with a thank-you note.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were both a little surprised. These two people were too particular about courtesy.
