Chapter 725: If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place?
Fang made Qiao Xuan laugh: "Oh, how can this be possible? I'm not used to it!"
"It will work, mother. There will be even greater things to come in the future! Your blessings are still to come!"
Fang laughed loudly: "Well, we are all the same, equally blessed! Fortunately, with you here, mother is not so scared anymore!"
Qiao Xuan took the lead and smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, mother, I will take care of these trivial matters!"
Shao Yunduan watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking with gentle eyes and a gentle smile on the corners of his lips.
As Qiao Xuan expected, as the official adviser and eunuch came to report the good news, the news that Shao Yunduan had won the first place in the provincial examination was officially announced, and the Shao family's main house immediately became lively!
Countless people came to congratulate him, and the village head and clan elders led Shao Yunduan to open the ancestral hall and offer sacrifices to the ancestors, with tears streaming down their faces, filled with pride.
Shaoding Village had never had a juren, let alone a jieyuan. Shao Yunduan was the first. He was the glory of the entire Shaoding Village.
Those who came to congratulate included villagers, relatives, friends, and some gentry. It goes without saying that Qin the shopkeeper and Xiao Dong, the steward representing the Lezheng family, as well as many wealthy gentry and gentry, also sent visiting cards to visit and make friends and get to know each other.
Qiao Xuan had attended many banquets with Madam Le Zheng and was familiar with all the basic etiquette rules. Fortunately, she brought Yang Xiaoni and Taotao along, which gave them some experience.
With the presence of maids such as Li Qiu, everything was in order, with all the rules and etiquette being in place. This made many gentry who originally looked down on the Shao family unconsciously correct their attitudes and become more polite.
Even though the Shao family is just a farming family, they are so well-mannered and have good rules. In addition, Shao Yunduan was the top scorer in the provincial examination at a young age and has a bright future. It is obvious that the Shao family's blessings are still to come.
If you don't make friends now, when will you?
Most of the guests were men. Shao Yunduan brought back Song Shi, the servant he had used before, to help entertain the guests together with Shao Sanlang and Xiao Qi. Manager Xiao Dong even brought his waiters to offer to help, which Shao Yunduan was more than happy to do. Manager Xiao Dong and his waiters simply stayed at Shao's house temporarily.
When three teachers and many students from Minghua Academy arrived, Shao Yunduan behaved very calmly and entertained them politely.
But that's all. If we were to say that we were too close or that I admired and respected my husband too much, that's not the case. Everything was just right.
It is enough for everyone to say polite words calmly.
In his heart, only people like Mr. Yun who are both virtuous and talented are worthy of respect.
The people in the academy were of average academic ability and even worse character, but they were teacher and student after all. Even if their friendship had disappeared when they framed him and drove him out of the academy, there was no need for him to break this window paper.
When the three gentlemen in the academy saw Shao Yunduan's attitude, they all felt relieved.
They originally thought that they would be subjected to some ridicule or trouble, but they didn't expect that to happen at all.
This made them feel relieved but also a little ashamed and regretful.
If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?
They didn't have the nerve to stay too long, so after two cups of tea they politely said goodbye and left.
County Magistrate Qiao also sent his legal advisor to come with great fanfare, giving Shao Yunduan enough face.
The Shao family's main branch entertained all the relatives, friends and guests well, except for two families.
