Chapter 661: Husband is fully prepared, everything will come naturally
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were not short of the ten thousand taels of silver. Even though it disgusted Xiaomi, they still had to save the eldest lady's face.
I wanted to return the silver to Le Zheng's family, but how could the eldest lady accept it?
"Since the prefect has made such a ruling, this is what you deserve. Just accept it. If you don't accept it, it would be disrespectful to the prefect!"
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan both laughed at this, and they thanked him and accepted the banknotes.
Qiao Xuan smiled and tried to persuade her to stay: "This is your first time here, so why don't you stay for lunch? I'll cook a few dishes for you!"
As for Xiaomi, she naturally did not want to stay here any longer. She apologized reluctantly and gave the ten thousand taels of silver notes with a painful heart. She did not want to look at these two people again and left first.
The eldest lady couldn't help but show some interest and said with a smile: "That's great, I'll stay and try Xiaoxuan's cooking!"
Shao Yunduan chatted with him for a while, then went back to the study to continue reviewing. Although he had already reviewed everything he needed to review, there were still several days left, so he would always read some and practice calligraphy.
Qiao Xuan accompanied the eldest lady to visit the small garden, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
She knew that the eldest lady liked light taste, so she asked Lixia to prepare the ingredients just now. Now was the perfect time to cook it.
Crabs are on the market at this time. Remove the crab roe and crab meat and fry them into crab roe. Pair it with soft, tender and smooth tofu to make delicious and smooth crab roe tofu.
The glutinous rice soaked in meatballs is steamed in a steamer, and the crystal clear glutinous rice meatballs are ready. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, which is fragrant and pleasing to the eye.
Chop the pigeon into four pieces and stew it with ginkgo nuts, lotus seeds and wolfberries.
For the chicken, we choose newly grown young hens, which have particularly tender meat. After being processed, they are served on a plate and drizzled with the prepared scallion oil. It becomes a scallion oil chicken with a blend of scallion and meat aromas, and tender and delicious chicken.
Then cook a dish of eel with soy sauce and two dishes of seasonal vegetables.
During lunch, Shao Yunduan was eating in the study alone, so Qiao Xuan stayed with the eldest lady.
Madam Le Zheng didn't expect Qiao Xuan to have such skills. She was really surprised and praised Qiao Xuan for a while.
Especially the scallion chicken and glutinous rice meatballs, she had never tasted them before. The taste of the eel and crab meat tofu also seemed different from what she had tasted before. It was obvious that Qiao Xuan's was better.
No wonder the girl she valued and wanted to adopt as her goddaughter was smart and dexterous!
With this skill, Qiao Xuan will not have a bad life.
How blind is her father to not see any good points about her?
The more the eldest lady understood Qiao Xuan, the more she felt moved.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the autumn examination.
Even though they had great confidence in Shao Yunduan, on that day, Qiao Xuan and her servant were still a little nervous, and Shao Yunduan himself was also slightly upset.
"My wife, wait for me at home. I will definitely pass the exam!"
"Well, my husband has made all the necessary preparations, so everything will come naturally and be successful immediately!"
They looked at each other and laughed.
Shao Yunduan raised his hand and gently brushed Qiao Xuan's hair, whispering: "Even for you, I must pass the exam."
"Huh? What?" Qiao Xuan raised her eyes and looked at him with a little confusion in her clear dark eyes.
She didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing," Shao Yunduan smiled, "Wait for me to come back!"
"good!"
Shao Yunduan got on the carriage and soon disappeared into the night before dawn.
Only when the sound of horse hooves disappeared did Qiao Xuan, Lixia, Liqiu and others return to the yard.
