Ms. Fang sneered and was eager to watch a good show.
She said to herself – just speak with him and see if he wants to listen to you.
Shao Liulang still believed firmly that Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong had treated him as a friend and that Shao Yunduan must have stopped him from joining them for the visit. But he did not know how to counter him, and he had no place to vent his anger.
The next day, Eldest Uncle could not stand it any more. But when he tried to guide him to the right path, Shao Liulang snapped at him and complained about Shao Yunduan, saying that Eldest Uncle should discipline Shao Yunduan so he would not dare to treat him like this in the future.
The Eldest Uncle finally got the chance to tell him what he had been prepared to tell him after a long while.
The moment Shao Liulang heard him, he interrogated Eldest Uncle about where he heard such a rumor. He shouted and asked who was trying to humiliate him!
“It must be Shao Yunduan who said that, right? He is lying, he is just jealous of me!”
Shao Liulang kept accusing Shao Yunduan aggressively but he did not dare to
confront Shao Yunduan about it. In the end, he ignored Eldest Uncle and left from there angrily.
Eldest Uncle was confused. He did not think that his son would lie to him but his nephew was also a literati who did not seem to be lying either…
After breakfast, Qiao Xuan sorted out the presents and gave a portion to each member of the family.
Qiao Xuan finally unpacked the gifts which the First Madame gave her.
She had been prepared that the First Madame must have given her many expensive presents, but what she saw was far more than she had anticipated.
Just the whole set of forty pieces of gold head and face jewelry inlaid with gold and jade were already dazzling her eyes.
The hairpins, the crown, the earrings… Everything was exquisite in workmanship and beautifully-made.
Qiao Xuan could not wear them outside right now, but each piece was so beautiful to look at. It made her feel happy.
First Madame apparently knew that this was for her to appreciate and collect, so she gave her twenty more pieces of jewelry which were well made and proper to be worn in daily life, beautiful but not too outstanding.
Apart from jewelry, she had received some exquisite garments, fragrance, cubilose, Donkey-hide gelatin and some other jadeware as well as some porcelain for flowers.
First Madame did not really take her as goddaughter for real, yet she seemed to treat her like one.
Qiao Xuan felt very moved. She had saved the Old Master’s life for sure, but First Madame also treated her with full sincerity.
After she put the precious things away, Qiao Xuan went to the garden to plant trees.
She needed to put her plan into practice quickly, and asked Qi and Taotao for help.
She planted those buds in a corner of the garden, but did not work on the twigs. She dug a hole and had it half-covered with the soil, and waited for the right plants for transplantation.
Transplantation did not actually work, but she needed an excuse to put these things into her space so she did the whole charade.
When the trees were planted, they checked the mushrooms inside the shed.
Snow fungus were all out and the fruits were growing, but they were not ripe enough to be picked yet. The mushrooms and wooden ears could be harvested though.
“Let’s just pick the mushrooms, wooden ears and snow fungus for sun drying today!’
Qi and Taotao nodded in agreement..
