Chapter 719: Too Pretentious
"This," Qiao Xuan rolled up her sleeves slightly, revealing a section of her smooth and white wrist.
The crystal clear green jade bracelet contrasts with the snow-white wrist, which is pleasing to the eye.
"This is the jade bracelet given to me by Madam Le Zheng. Nanny Hua, who is beside the Madam, kindly told me that the current market value of this jade bracelet is at least ten thousand taels of silver. She specifically told me to be very careful with it, as it would be a pity if it was damaged! After all, this is a gift from the Madam! If it weren't for the great joy of my husband having Li Yuan, I wouldn't be willing to wear it."
Aunt Du and others gasped.
"What? Worth ten thousand taels of silver? You must be kidding!"
"Haha, I don't believe it!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "I was also shocked, but Nanny Hua wouldn't lie to me. Besides, ten thousand taels of silver is nothing to the Le Zheng family, so Nanny Hua can't lie like that."
Hearing Qiao Xuan casually saying "ten thousand taels of silver", as if she didn't care about ten thousand taels of silver at all, Mrs. Qiao and others secretly scolded her in their hearts for being so pretentious! Too pretentious!
She probably doesn't even have a hundred taels of silver. What a guy, she doesn't take ten thousand taels of silver seriously.
Even if you are the master, you don’t have ten thousand taels of silver!
Mrs. Qiao's attention was quickly drawn to the Le Zheng family. "You said this was given to you by Madam Le Zheng? Why would Madam Le Zheng give you such an expensive gift?"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "The Third Master of Le Zheng is very good friends with my husband and said that he is a very good person! Madam Le Zheng invited us to visit the Le Zheng residence and gave me this."
Mrs. Qiao's heart is bleeding
"Madam Le Zheng invites you to her house as a guest?"
She hadn't even been there! The Qiao family had never even stepped into the doorstep of Le Zheng's house. They tried every way to establish a relationship with them but it was unsuccessful. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had actually already visited them.
Is Shao Yunduan, the top scholar, really that valuable?
"yes!"
Qiao Xuan nodded, "The Lezheng Mansion is really big, with carved beams and painted buildings, and all kinds of exquisite furnishings are dazzling. The spices used in Lezheng's wife's room cost one hundred taels of silver. Their garden is also big, with many flowers and trees. There is an old camellia plant of the Eighteen Scholars, which I heard cost thousands of silver to buy. There are also many famous orchids, all cultivated in the glazed greenhouse, worth tens of thousands of gold."
Aunt Du and the others listened and watched in a daze, feeling somewhat numb.
Mrs. Qiao had to believe it a little. If she hadn't seen it at Le Zheng's Mansion, how could Qiao Xuan know about the Eighteen Scholars and the Glazed Greenhouse? These were things she didn't know.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan actually fell in love with Le Zheng's family!
In addition to being jealous, Mrs. Qiao was thinking about how to make good use of this matter.
The more Qiao Kou listened, the more unhappy she became. "So the glazed windows in your new house were all obtained from Le Zheng's family? That's not right. Your husband hadn't passed the imperial examination at that time, right? He was already on good terms with Le Zheng's family at that time? If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Qiao Xuan nodded openly: "My husband and I have known each other for a long time. Those colored glazes were given by the Third Young Master Le Zheng. They have a lot of useless things like that at home! My husband has always been modest and low-key. He and the Third Young Master Le Zheng are good friends because of their previous friendship. What's there to say?"
