No one found that it was strange, when Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan did not show up in front of people. They would be too embarrassed to do so, and people could totally understand that.
At the Qiao Family.
Officer Qiao understood that it was not a very reasonable thing he did to have borrowed this much money from others. So, he stayed quiet and tried to avoid meeting people during this time.
He even told Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei as well as the others to remain at home, rather than attend any banquets… at least for the next few months.
Madame Qiao stayed at home, saying that she was practicing Buddhism.
Even if County Magistrate Qiao did not tell her to, she would not have gone out by herself. She knew that she would not be well-received after she got so much money from others.
Qiao Wei did not step out either.
She hoped that some of her girlfriends could come to the door and visit her. But no one showed up.
Qiao Wei felt quite cold in her heart. She sneered at them for pursuing the small benefits.
They should feel lucky to have befriended her. When she was back to the capital next spring, they would have no chance to suck up to her.
They would regret it deeply at that time.
Moreover, she was going to marry the Hou Mansion!
Those noble families were totally out of reach for these landlords’ children!
Qiao Wei was still dreaming without realizing that Qiao Kou was planning to set her up.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went to the mansion which the Yuezheng Family had given them, after they reached the Province.
It was spread across seven mu, with three corridors and a small garden. There was still a lot of space after the four of them moved in.
Yuezheng Xiao had learned that they would arrive within these few days, so he had already ordered servants to clean up the whole place, and left a couple to help with some house chores.
In this way, they would not panic.
The following day, Shao Yunduan asked the gate guard to pass on the invitation to the Yuezheng Family and Xie Jingrong. Then, he bought a pageboy in his teens, and named him Songshi.
Finally, someone was running the errands for him.
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong replied and said that they could have a meeting the following day.
First Madame asked Auntie Hua to send two maids to Qiao Xuan with some delicious food, saying that she was going to be invited to spend some time at the mansion.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan answered them happily.
They spend the first day at home, taking a break.
The couple came to the house for the first time, so they walked about and touched every corner.
The woman said that it was the First Madame who had supervised the decoration.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan could tell that it was very carefully decorated. Even the ingredients in the kitchen were all settled ahead of time.
There were many trees and flowers in the garden. Some were placed in small pots, and had been exquisitely taken care of.
At this time, the crape myrtle was in full bloom. Other blooming flowers included the Chinese trumpet vine, hydrangea, gardenia, rhododendron, jasmine, wisteria, etc. They cast down thick shade, and drove away heat.
There was a square pavilion in the northeast area of the garden, which faced a
huge rockery..
