Chapter 410: For Now
Le An just went to the bathroom, and the master was in good condition, but who knew an accident would happen!
Sir, please be alright.
Qiao Xuan: “.”
Forget it, it’s a good thing that the other party didn’t unreasonably blame me.
However, after what happened, Qiao Xuan and Tao Tao no longer had the heart to continue shopping.
Besides, Qiao Xuan’s goal has been achieved.
After returning to the flower hall, a maid came in to set the table and invited them to have lunch. Qiao Xuan asked about Nanny Hua, and the maid politely replied that Nanny Hua was not free at the moment and had something urgent to do, so she would not come.
Please enjoy your lunch in peace.
Qiao Xuan guessed that the middle-aged man was the owner of the garden, and the eldest lady's husband. The eldest lady must have been taking care of her husband, so she worked herself into such a state of exhaustion, and she felt a little sympathetic for him.
The male host fainted, and as the female host's confidant, Nanny Hua was naturally busy at the moment.
Qiao Xuan tactfully stopped talking, smiled, exchanged a few polite words, and sat down to eat with Taotao.
If you want branches, it’s naturally not easy to mention it.
Although she felt a little regretful, she knew where the treasure was, so she could find a way later. If she couldn't do it, she still had Le Zhengxiao. The face of the Third Master Le Zheng should be okay, right?
The maids in the garden did not look down on Qiao Xuan and Tao Tao because they were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked unfamiliar, so they knew they were not important guests. They prepared six dishes and a soup for them, all of which were delicious, and they were not perfunctory at all.
The fact that the servants are so well-mannered and polite, and do not judge people by their appearance, must have been taught by their master, and the family tradition is upright.
Qiao Xuan developed a favorable impression of him. If she had the chance, she wouldn't mind curing the middle-aged man's illness in exchange for the precious trees.
She had to think of a way to use her wood power without exposing it or causing suspicion.
After lunch, Qiao Xuan and Tao Tao said goodbye.
After walking around for a while and returning to where the carriage was waiting, the two of them returned to the city together.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when the aunt and sister-in-law returned to the inn.
When dusk fell, Shao Yunduan and Xiaoqi had not returned yet.
They hadn't returned yet, and they didn't expect them to come back for dinner, so Qiao Xuan and Tao Tao simply ordered some food at the inn and didn't wait for them.
Sure enough, when the two of them came back, it was already night.
Shao Yunduan drank some wine, and Xiaoqi and Qu Shan helped him in.
Fortunately, his eyes looked clear and he was not very drunk.
No one would be happy about taking care of a drunk.
Qu Shan did not leave immediately after sending the person there. He and Xiao Qi took care of Shao Yunduan and helped him wash up and lie down before saying goodbye and leaving.
Qiao Xuan thanked him, gave him a red envelope of one or two taels of silver, and asked Xiao Qi to take him out of the inn.
Now I have time to ask Xiaoqi how the essay will go today?
Talking about today's event, Shao Xiaoqi's eyes lit up and he became very excited. He talked about it with Qiao Xuan and Tao Tao, even using gestures.
All in all, it’s extremely lively!
They were writing poems and articles in great style, and the atmosphere was very good. Although he could not understand much, he could feel the tense atmosphere in the midst of the excitement.
Qiao Xuan and Tao Tao were naturally more concerned about Shao Yunduan. Shao Xiaoqi was even more proud: "Fifth brother is very capable. Everyone praises his articles! Some people looked down on him at first, but later they were convinced! Especially when Mr. Xie said a few words of 'good', the way those people looked at Fifth Brother changed."
