Chapter 640 Interception
Without sufficient ability to protect oneself, if one chooses to master this skill that can bring in huge profits, once it is exposed, not only will one not get rich, but will bring disaster or even death.
This is the same as a three-year-old child appearing alone in a busy city holding gold.
Qiao Xuan came to Madam Le Zheng's place and did not mention this episode to her. Madam Le Zheng's family was mainly engaged in the cloth and silk business, and her own dowry also had two large silk and silk shops opened together, with countless various silk and brocade fabrics accumulated over the years.
It happened that she was looking for and sorting things out today, so she didn't treat Qiao Xuan as an outsider. She took Qiao Xuan with her to see and introduced her to the characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of various materials.
Such an opportunity is not available to everyone. Qiao Xuan was very surprised and cherished it very much. She studied seriously with Mrs. Le Zhengda.
She was intelligent and had a good memory. She always asked questions that were on point. She could even inadvertently come up with some ideas and suggestions that Madam Le Zheng had not thought of, which moved Madam Le Zheng and touched her deeply.
I liked and admired her more and more.
However, Qiao Xuan felt a little unworthy of her praise. She was not from this era, and her vision and thoughts were not comparable to those of people from this era. It was not surprising that she could come up with some unique insights.
Lady Le Zheng was so impressed to see that she was neither arrogant nor impatient but rather very humble.
Before I knew it, half a day had passed.
Qiao Xuan had no choice but to stay at Madam Le Zheng's place for lunch.
Madam Le Zheng specifically instructed the kitchen to make sweet and sour squirrel mandarin fish, which is sweet and sour and delicious, and very appetizing in summer.
There were also light dishes such as steamed crab meat and lion's head, shrimp and tofu, cold-mixed wolfberry sprouts, beef and bitter gourd, and he ordered his maid to make ice jelly and sour plum soup, which were chilled with ice cubes, just right for cooling off after lunch.
After the two of them had lunch, Qiao Xuan knew that Madam Le Zheng was not that free. In such a big mansion, even with her daughter-in-law to share the responsibilities, she still had to make decisions on many things. After a while, she smiled and said goodbye.
Madam Le Zheng did not try to keep her, but just smiled and told her to come back in two days.
When he was counting and sorting the fabrics, he picked out a lot of them to give to Qiao Xuan, so he asked someone to pack them up and bring them over.
Qiao Xuan had taken so many good things from Madam Le Zheng, so she did not refuse and smiled generously.
Later, she would get more good things from her house and give them to Madam Le Zheng, such as Buddha's hand, various fruits, preserved meat, white fungus, golden buds, purple tea leaves, watermelon, etc., which were all good things.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xuan hadn't left Le Zheng's house yet, and coincidentally ran into Xiaomi on the way.
"Second Madam is well!"
Qiao Xuan stopped and greeted with a smile.
Xiaomi looked at her inconspicuously, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Isn't this Madam Shao? My eldest sister-in-law really loves Madam Shao. She is not so affectionate even to my eldest niece's wife! It's still early now, Madam Shao, come over to my place and sit and talk?"
Of course Qiao Xuan didn't want to go.
But she will visit Le Zheng's mansion many times in the future. She can avoid it on the first day but not on the fifteenth day, so there is no need to refuse.
"How dare I disobey the Second Madam's invitation? Sorry to bother the Second Madam!"
Xiao Mi covered her face with a double-sided embroidered fan and chuckled, "Don't bother me, don't bother me. Madam Shao is really good at talking. No wonder my sister-in-law likes you so much! Come with me!"
Xiaomi quickly took Qiao Xuan back to her own yard.
