Chapter 765 Mid-Autumn Festival Gift
They have the same attitude, but the Qiao family has a completely different attitude.
Lord Qiao's old face was full of wrinkles from smiling. When he saw Shao Yunduan, he called him "virtuous official" all the time and acted very friendly to him.
Qiao Xuan also received a warm reception from Madam Qiao, which was not sincere but very respectful. The servants were also extremely respectful and flattering, which even Aunt Du and Qiao Kou could not compare to.
Qiao Wei couldn't help but look at Qiao Xuan again. She was wearing a bright red satin jacket with primrose and butterfly patterns, and a light apricot-colored long skirt, which made her look slim and petite. Her black bun was neat and tidy, and her pearl-inlaid gold hairpin and kingfisher-painted pomegranate and magnolia hairpin were luxurious and exquisite.
Qiao Xuan didn't have many decorations on her body, but her clothes were luxurious and decent, making her look elegant and decent just right.
Qiao Wei couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart. She had to admit that the saying "clothes make the man" was indeed true. A humble and cowardly little concubine's daughter, who hunched her shoulders and hunched her back, looked so beautiful after changing her clothes!
She couldn't help but pay special attention to the bracelet on Qiao Xuan's wrist.
Very good, changed again.
This time, Qiao Xuan wore a pair of engraved gold bracelets inlaid with several pearls.
The oval gold bracelet was intricately and smoothly engraved with a number of thumb-sized snow-white pearls evenly inlaid. The edge of the bracelet was also inlaid with a circle of tortoise shells, which well suppressed the flamboyant gold color and made it look a bit restrained and luxurious.
Gold bracelets are not rare, but pearls of such good quality and uniform size are rare, and tortoise shell jewelry is even less common.
"It seems that Madam Le Zheng is really good to my second sister. Is this pair of gold bracelets also given to my second sister by her?"
Although she knew she shouldn't ask, Qiao Wei still couldn't help but feel sour.
After all, what young girl doesn’t like beautiful, exquisite and expensive jewelry?
Qiao Wei, who had specially bought new jewelry from the provincial capital, had wanted to show off in front of Qiao Xuan today, but when she looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist that she had spent several days to get and two thousand taels of silver to buy, she suddenly lost her confidence.
Qiao Xuan smiled: "Yes, Aunt Le Zheng is really very good to me. She originally said that she wanted to adopt me as her adopted daughter, but I felt that I was not worthy of her, so I declined. But she said that I was a good person, so she was still good to me!"
"What?" Mrs. Qiao was stunned. Her first reaction was to be heartbroken and want to teach Qiao Xuan a lesson. Then she thought, it's good that Qiao Xuan, this idiot, declined politely! Otherwise, wouldn't she be even more arrogant?
Subconsciously, Mrs. Qiao was led astray by Qiao Xuan along this line of thought. She naturally thought that since Madam Le Zheng was willing to adopt someone like Qiao Xuan as her adopted daughter, then of course she would be willing to adopt her own daughter as her adopted daughter.
After all, my daughter is much better than Qiao Xuan!
Anyway, Mrs. Qiao didn't mind at all that her daughter had an extra stepmother.
Although Le Zheng's family is a traveling merchant, they are not ordinary businessmen. They have a huge fortune and there are many benefits to be gained from it.
Only an idiot like Qiao Xuan would refuse!
Qiao Wei and Qiao Kou felt jealous and sour after hearing this. They couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking that Qiao Xuan might be lying.
Would Madam Le Zheng be interested in her?
She just blows it!
Qiao Xuan took the opportunity to disrupt their mentality, feeling a little better. She smiled and said that she was tired and wanted to take a rest. She wondered if there was a place to rest.
She didn't have much to say to them. They must have been forced by their scumbag father to show their hospitality. Since they were tired of each other, they might as well just live their own lives.
She just avoids it. Look how considerate she is!
Of course there is a place. Mrs. Qiao had asked Madam Ling to clean up a small courtyard.
