Chapter 735 Zhao Guangyin had to prepare for the worst
After returning to his own courtyard, Zhao Guangyin dismissed his attendants and left only his wife to talk.
"Pack our valuables and money into two or three boxes and send them back to your mother's house quietly for safekeeping. Remember, don't tell anyone about this."
Not only that, he would also find a way to move some silver bills out of the public treasury and keep them separately.
Madam Quan was stunned: "Is this - so serious?"
"It's hard to say," Zhao Guangyin sighed, "If the Shao family came to our house to make trouble, it would be better. Let them vent their anger, and we apologize and pay compensation, and this matter will probably be over. But the Shao family has not made any move so far, but has a tough attitude towards our family and clearly refuses to make peace. This is probably..."
Madam Quan was a little flustered by what he said, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't my sister on good terms with Miss Qiao? Mother and Madam Qiao also had a very good relationship in the past. Do you want to ask mother and sister to go to the Qiao Mansion? If Madam Qiao and Miss Qiao come forward to mediate, the Shao family will always give them some face, right?"
Zhao Guangyin's heart moved. Although he didn't feel very sure, he decided to give it a try.
So I agreed.
Unexpectedly, the visiting cards from Mrs. Zhao and her daughter couldn't even be delivered to the backyard of the Qiao family.
In short, they could no longer see Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Wei at all.
Now, Zhao Guangyin had to prepare for the worst.
At the Shao family's main house, a banquet was quickly held with great enthusiasm and lasted for two days.
There were still people coming to the feast from Zhangjia Village, but the Zhang family didn't come. The Zhao family didn't come either.
Wouldn't it be better if you knew what to do earlier? You have to start a fight to make yourself look bad.
Look at Yangjia Village. Yang Liang and his wife didn’t dare to come, but many other members of the Yang family in the village came.
Yang Liang and his wife have now become a complete joke in the village. They are so depressed that they are too embarrassed to go out and see people.
After the wedding banquet, the Shao family finally returned to their daily peace, but Shao Yunduan still had to continue preparing for the imperial examination next spring.
Fang led Yang Xiaoni, Qiao Xuan, Taotao and others, and finally had time to sort out the various gifts received.
Seeing that there were too many things, Qiao Xuan made two booklets, registering the various items by category, and then stored them in the warehouse one by one according to category, making it easier to check and find them later.
Fang thought this was a good idea, but Qiao Xuan was the only literate woman in the family, so Fang simply let Qiao Xuan be in charge of this matter.
The total amount of silver received as a gift alone was two thousand three hundred taels, and there were also many gifts, including clothing, jewelry, tea, tea sets, spices, calligraphy and paintings, inkstones, paperweights, stationery, jade and porcelain bottles, fans, screens, and so on.
Fang was very happy to see this, but she didn't quite understand why, so she asked Qiao Xuan to pick out some and distribute some to the family members to make everyone happy, and then put the rest into the warehouse.
Qiao Xuan picked out six bolts of cloth, three or four pieces of jewelry for each of the women, and three or four pieces of furnishings for each room. Shao Sanlang, Xiaoqi, Taotao, and Shao Junyan each had a set of four treasures for the study.
"How about this, mother? Keep the other things first. When it's Chinese New Year or someone's birthday, I want to give something to someone, and then I can take it from the storeroom. When I take something, just make a note in the book!"
When the new house was first completed, everyone's room was equipped with a complete set of brand new furniture, even a complete set of tea sets, with nothing missing.
Fang was very happy and praised Qiao Xuan for doing the right thing.
