Chapter 425: A Close Call
These two dishes are not available outside.
Madam Le Zheng introduced the dish to the aunt and sister-in-law with a smile. Qiao Xuan and Tao Tao enjoyed the meal greatly and praised the dish highly.
It is undoubtedly a very pleasing thing for the person who invites guests to dinner to see that the guests like the dishes prepared by his request, especially since the eldest lady has been by her husband's side all these years due to his illness and has never been in a relaxed mood. She hasn't hosted others or attended a banquet for many years.
This was the first time she had entertained guests in all these years, and it had a special meaning.
I was sincerely happy to see that Qiao Xuan and the others liked my arrangement.
"Xiaoxuan, you guys are not in a hurry to go back, why not stay in Nanyuan for a few days? The chef in our house is quite skilled, it's a good opportunity to try some!"
How could Qiao Xuan have the nerve to stay like this?
He smiled and replied, "I shouldn't have refused my aunt's request to stay, but we have been away from home for many days and it is time to go back. We are building a house and reclaiming land at home, and we are worried about leaving for too long. Besides, my uncle is recovering and needs careful care, so we should not disturb him!"
"Next time you come to the provincial capital, you can come and see your aunt again!"
The eldest lady smiled and said, "In that case, then it's a deal. You must come here often in the future! When the weather warms up next spring, remember to come and enjoy the flowers! There are several places in the provincial capital that have particularly beautiful scenery in spring. I may not have been there for many years! It's just right for us to go together when the time comes!"
Qiao Xuan felt a little warm in her heart and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely come then!"
Master Le Zheng still needed more rest, so not long after lunch, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan and his party said goodbye and left.
The eldest lady repeatedly instructed Le Zhengxiao to treat them well and to arrange a carriage to take them back.
Le Zhengxiao agreed.
The next day, Xie Jingrong hosted the party again. During the meal, he mentioned that Master Le Zheng had recovered from his serious illness. Xie Jingrong was also very surprised and congratulated Le Zhengxiao.
Afterwards, Shao Yunduan accompanied Qiao Xuan, Xiaoqi and Taotao for another day of shopping, bought a lot of things, and planned to go back the next day.
Le Zhengxiao sent two carriages to see him off, one for passengers and the other for the various purchased items and gifts from Le Zheng's family.
Including the branches of the trees that Qiao Xuan wanted, as well as several medium-sized saplings that were found.
As for the other flowers and trees, Le Zhengxiao said that when their new house is completed and the spring is suitable for planting, he will visit them and deliver the flowers and trees to them.
Le Zhengxiao specifically explained about several brocade boxes of varying sizes, saying that they were gifts from his mother to his sister-in-law.
It was Qushan who sent them back again.
Since we set out before dawn, we returned to Heshan County quite early.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan booked two rooms in an inn in the city, and asked Qu Shan and others to take them home and then return to the inn to stay for one night.
The current situation at home is not convenient for hosting.
The two of them booked an inn and were about to get on the carriage when they suddenly heard a voice of "Hey!" coming from behind. Qiao Xuan was startled. Who else could this voice be but Qiao Kou?
She and Shao Yunduan looked at each other, and hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands and winked at Qu Shan and the driver who were sitting on the edge of the cart, secretly feeling lucky.
That was a close call!
Qiao Kou and Qiao Wei almost saw them getting on the carriage, and by then they would have no explanation at all.
Qiao Xuan turned around and saw Qiao Kou, who was riding in a carriage not far away, with the curtain opened. He was looking at her and Shao Yunduan with a smile and without restraint.
Next to her was Qiao Wei.
