Chapter 774: Keep up the good work
As long as we can get through this winter, I believe next year will not be a problem either.
She didn't put all her hopes on supernatural powers, so she asked Le Zhengxiao to help her buy a lot of straw. When the temperature dropped sharply, she spread the straw on the ground to keep the roots of the fruit trees warm. She also burned some smoke around them to fight frost.
It is not necessarily that we will do this at that time, but this is just a precaution.
The day before the Double Ninth Festival, when Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan and their family were traveling in the provincial capital, Madam Le Zheng received a visiting card from Madam Qiao.
When the lady saw the person claiming to be Qiao Xuan's mother on the visiting card, thanking her for valuing and taking care of Qiao Xuan and therefore coming to visit, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"This Mrs. Qiao is quite interesting!"
Aunt Hua was also speechless. She smiled and said, "I wonder if she knows that Madam Shao Wu and her family have come to the provincial capital."
Madam Le Zheng pondered.
Qiao Xuan never mentioned a word about Madam Qiao's coming, so Madam Le Zheng naturally had no interest in her.
With business reaching the level of the Le Zheng family, as long as they don’t want to, they don’t have to bother with a small county magistrate.
You have to know that Madam Qiao is a guest of honor of the prefect's wife. Not to mention anything else, just based on this fact alone, Madam Qiao is not good enough in front of her.
She can give this face if she wants to, and not give it if she doesn't want to.
"Mammy, go to Xiaoxuan and tell her about this. Ask her if she has anything to say."
The implication is that if Qiao Xuan wants to take the opportunity to take revenge or something, Madam Le Zheng will cooperate with her.
Nanny Hua smiled and agreed, and went there in person.
Qiao Xuan smiled when she heard this and said, "I forgot to tell my aunt about this these past two days. My stepmother did mention taking me to visit my aunt, but I didn't want to go with her, so I ignored her. I didn't expect them to come now."
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. This matter is meaningless to me. If you want to see them, then go ahead. If you don't want to, then don't. Auntie, don't worry about me. I know what I am doing."
She had already thought of an excuse before she dared to stand up Mrs. Qiao and her daughter.
It's just to let Lord Qiao see that they are not his puppets and they can't just do whatever he says.
If Lord Qiao can't stand it and his relationship with them deteriorates, that would be great.
If Master Qiao can endure it, well, then they should also pay attention and keep up the good work!
Nanny Hua understood what Qiao Xuan meant, smiled and nodded, and then said: "If she asks whether Mrs. Shao Wu has come to the provincial capital-"
"Then just tell her, Auntie. But don't tell her where we live, and don't tell her about the business between our family and Master Le Zheng."
Nanny Hua understood, nodded, agreed with a smile, and went back.
In the inn, Mrs. Qiao was both happy and unhappy when she received the reply.
Madam Le Zheng replied very politely, but said that she was not free on Double Ninth Festival and invited her to visit on the tenth day of September.
As a result, they could not go to Le Zheng's house to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival together.
Moreover, although Mrs. Qiao clearly mentioned Qiao Xuan, Madam Le Zheng did not say a single word about Qiao Xuan in her reply, which greatly surprised Mrs. Qiao.
Qiao Wei thought it was normal, and gloated and laughed, "I think that damn girl is just lying! If she was really good friends with Madam Le Zheng, why didn't Madam Le Zheng mention her at all?"
If Madam Le Zheng knew this, she would definitely say it. She didn't mention it because they didn't ask anything.
