Only his cousin had influential friends? He had friends too! He was going to bring his friends home for him to take a good look at!
Shao Liulang left angrily.
After dinner, Eldest Uncle looked at Shao Yunduan with a confused yet long-sighted look. "Umm… Yunduan!"
Shao Yunduan looked at his father in a composed way, and Eldest Uncle subconsciously stopped himself.
"Dad, if you are going to talk about what happened today, you can stop right here. Brother Xie and Yuezheng are my very important friends, and they can't be troubled. Second Aunt keeps asking about their marital status whenever she runs into them. Do you think that is a proper thing to do? The Sixth Cousin is so arrogant that he thinks highly of himself. They didn't say a thing about it, otherwise it would look really bad on our family."
"If I pass the examination, there will be more such guests in the future. If they keep messing up time, do you think that I can afford to offend every guest? Not everyone is so good-tempered like Brother Xie and Yuezheng!"
"I am letting you know there is no next time. If they continue to act , will drive them away without any negotiation!"
Having said that, Shao Yunduan left with Qiao Xuan.
If his relatives behaved like that all the time, he would lose all his friends and have his reputation ruined. Also, if he passed the examination, the guests might not be here for real friendship, but just for connection and reputation, which should be regarded with even more care.
If those relatives kept behaving , something bad would definitely happen sooner than later.
Shao Yunduan did not care about their behavior in the past, but they kept giving him trouble again and again.
Eldest Uncle realized that his son was very angry this time, and he felt quite guilty and almost didn't say anything.
But when thinking about the whole family, Eldest Uncle felt perturbed so he added. "Yunduan is getting more and more irritable. Second Sister-in-law didn't behave well, but she loves her daughter. Anyways, I will speak with her about it. Liulang is also a learned person, and he was simply sitting there entertaining the guests."
Ms. Fang sneered. "Ms. Niu is totally shameless. If I had not stopped her, she would have taken Meiling straight to the two young masters! She even suggested that Meiling should take care of them. That sounds so horrible! I felt so embarrassed by her! How could she have done something like that? You have totally spoiled her. Let me tell you, if they ruin my son's business, I will kill them all."
Eldest Uncle's face changed. "How could that be possible?"
"Also, Liulang, honestly speaking, is so stupid and old-fashioned. He can't read or do any work, but he pretends as if he has read a lot! Who would even want to talk with him? Letting him receive guests? He came over without being invited and he drove Yunduan away because he thought he was the owner of the house. I got so disgusted by how he tried to suck up the two young masters. They could not even eat a comfortable dinner!"
"They love talking with you privately, so you can tell them that they should stop being so disgusting!'
He was both angry and sad. How could they behave ?
After the guests were gone, Qiao Xuan, Ms. Xu and Taotao started to make lip balms again.
They had little beeswax remaining, and they finished making lip balms within a few days.
After this, they were going to resume making lipsticks after the end of next spring, when they harvested honey and got the wax.
Qiao Xuan was not in a hurry. Rare things were always precious, and she had made it with her own special skills. No one would be able to steal her market even when she ran out of stock. Instead, people would crave for them more than before..
