Chapter 718: Mrs. Qiao's heart was bleeding when she said this
Qiao Xuan was unhappy to hear her say this about Shao Yunduan.
She had to tolerate Qiao Wei, this idiot, before, so why should she tolerate it now?
"Sister, you are not quite right. My husband is not only a juren, but also a jieyuan! The first in our province! This is rare!"
"My husband is so capable, he must have a bright future!"
Qiao Xuan looked proud.
"You——" Qiao Wei was so angry, "Oh, you have a bright future?"
"Sister, don't you think that's wrong?" Qiao Xuan interrupted her before she could finish, "But father just praised my husband for his promising future!"
Qiao Wei: “.”
"He is still young, so he has a bright future. By the way, I have prepared some fabrics and jewelry for you!" Mrs. Qiao was afraid that Qiao Wei would say something unpleasant, which would be inappropriate if it reached Mr. Qiao's ears, so she smiled and continued. She ordered Madam Ling to get the things.
Mrs. Qiao's heart was bleeding when she said this.
She was reluctant to give her nice pieces of jewelry to Qiao Xuan, and originally planned to go out and buy them for herself with a few dozen taels of silver.
A few dozen taels of silver are enough to buy a set of exquisite silver jewelry and three or four pieces of better silk material.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan arrived too quickly and there was no time to buy anything, so they could only give away one or two items from their own stock.
She chose for a long time before she reluctantly picked out a gold hairpin inlaid with large pearls and a green jade bracelet of good quality.
These two things together cost more than three hundred taels of silver.
There were also two rolls of fine Hangzhou silk in bright colors, with the edging outlined with gold and silver threads.
After Nanny Ling brought the things over, not to mention Aunt Du and Qiao Kou, even Qiao Wei's eyes were filled with anger.
Why should such a good thing be given to a little bitch like Qiao Xuan? Before today, she was not even qualified to touch it!
Aunt Du and Qiao Kou felt heartbroken. They had never had such beautiful hairpins and bracelets. They must be worth hundreds of taels of silver, right? Even Madam Qiao and Qiao Wei didn't have many such things.
Aunt Du's most expensive pair of gold bracelets inlaid with small gemstones was worth less than 100 taels of silver, and was later looted by Madam Qiao.
This is called thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west. I'm so angry.
Qiao Xuan wanted to laugh when she saw it. It was rare for Mrs. Qiao's things to be in front of her.
She wouldn't be so noble as to refuse!
Even though she wouldn't wear it if I took it, it would be better to put it in the space out of sight. It would be nice to sell it for money in the future.
Although she didn't need such a small amount of money.
She was not short of jewellery and material for clothes.
She bought a lot of things in the provincial capital. There were both items suitable for current wear and items that were so beautiful and exquisite that people could not take their eyes off them at first sight. She bought them and kept them so that she could use them in the future.
Moreover, Madam Le Zheng gave her a lot of gifts!
That's the real good stuff!
Just a complete set of gold headpiece inlaid with rubies and sapphires is worth about five thousand silver coins.
There was also a pair of gold hairpins inlaid with pearls. The pearls were round and flawless, and one was as big as a longan.
In comparison, the one Mrs. Qiao took out was much more shabby.
Mrs. Qiao smiled with an appreciative expression on her face, and ordered Nanny Ling to hand the things to Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan thanked him with a smile, reached out to take it, and inadvertently revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist.
Mrs. Qiao saw this and froze slightly.
The others followed Mrs. Qiao's gaze and saw it, and were also stunned.
Aunt Du smiled and said, "Did the second young lady buy the bracelet on her wrist herself? It looks like it's quite valuable, right?"
