Chapter 513 Where is Your Education
For example, cabbage with winter mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots is called Erdong Baixue; hair algae and tofu soup is called Baibi Qingyun; there are also silky rain clouds, lotus emerging from the water, Luohancai, thousand layers of white leaves, half moon sinking in the river, etc., all of which are carefully cooked with various vegetables and winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, tofu, and gluten, and the taste is no less than that of meat dishes.
Later, Qiao Xuan found out that the vegetarian banquet at Fuyu Temple was a fine dining meal, and a table of twelve dishes and a soup cost one hundred taels of silver.
In the afternoon, Madam Le Zheng accompanied Qiao Xuan to visit the plum forest on the back mountain. The plum blossoms in the big plum forest grew more wildly and extensively, but there were endless stream of tourists, and the noise and laughter were endless. Compared with the quietness of the small plum garden, it was a different kind of scenery.
After a day of fun, the two returned home with great pleasure.
Madam Le Zheng said with a smile, "Let's go out for a walk tomorrow. The weather is about to get warmer, and there are a lot of new clothes, fabrics, jewelry, and cosmetics. You are still young, so it's time to dress up. I promise to pick out the most suitable and appropriate ones for you, so you can wear them at home!"
There is no woman who doesn't like shopping, and it is even more convenient to have someone like Madam Le Zheng accompany you.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said yes.
Madam Le Zheng was satisfied, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, if you see anything you like, just tell me, and don't be polite to me!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Aunt, I will accept your kindness and will not let you down!"
Madam Le Zheng laughed: "That's good!"
When the two returned home, Le Zhengxiao sent someone to bring back a message saying that he would not be back for dinner.
Madam Le Zheng didn't care either. She asked the kitchen to cook a few homemade dishes for just her and Qiao Xuan.
Unexpectedly, before dinner, Xiaomi and Le Zhengting, mother and daughter, came over.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Aunt!"
The mother and daughter greeted Madam Le Zheng with a smile, but they seemed not to have noticed a living person like Qiao Xuan, and did not even look at her.
Xiao Mi smiled and handed an invitation to Madam Le Zheng, saying, "This is from Madam Jia, inviting us to go there to enjoy the flowers in two days. Madam Jia has always had a good relationship with our family, so I'm sure you won't refuse without a reason, right?"
She then glanced at Qiao Xuan and said with a smile, "This Madam Shao is quite close to my sister-in-law. I mentioned it casually, and Madam Jia even said that my sister-in-law should bring Madam Shao with her, so that everyone can see what kind of outstanding woman can catch the eye of my sister-in-law. Besides, it would be good for Madam Shao to meet the ladies and young ladies in the provincial capital. I heard that Madam Shao's family is also in business, so maybe there will be another way for her to make a living!"
Madam Le Zheng was very displeased to hear Xiaomi's words. Her tone was neither positive nor negative, and it was clear that she looked down on Qiao Xuan.
She was about to speak, but Le Zhengting blinked and said with an innocent smile: "Yes, Madam Shao, let's go together. Aunt Jia doesn't mind you inviting her specially. This is your blessing! After all, such an opportunity is rare for you. It's good to go there to broaden your horizons! Don't you want to go? Or do you dare not go?"
"Ting'er!" Madam Le Zheng scolded, looked at her and said coldly: "Where is your upbringing?"
Le Zhengting blushed slightly, "Aunt, there are no outsiders here, I am just telling the truth and speaking my mind!"
Xiao Mi also sneered angrily: "Why did sister-in-law scold Ting'er in front of outsiders? What did Ting'er say wrong?"
