These precious flowers and trees could only be obtained by famous and wealthy families. There were very few transactions of these kinds in the flower and tree market. After all, ordinary people could not afford these things. Only rich and powerful families could spend a lot of money to buy them and carefully cultivate them.
Money was not the initial condition.
It was just a method to get through.
The atmosphere seemed a bit strange as she went home.
Qiao Xuan turned to look at Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan smiled. "I was just about to fetch you. Brother Yuezheng has invited us to have a gathering of literature in the province after three days. Do you want to join us?
Qiao Xuan's eyes sparkled – of course!
She could hopefully find precious flowers, shrubs and trees there! She would be too stupid to refuse the invitation.
"Of course." Qiao Xuan nodded as she smiled. "Young Master Yuezheng mentioned that the gathering should be of great importance. You should not miss it!"
Shao Yunduan nodded. "That is exactly what I think."
Ms. Fang and the others in the family nodded in agreement.
Qiao Xuan was going to keep him company.
Qu Shan smiled. "Then, please get your luggage ready tonight, so we can leave tomorrow morning."
Shao Yunduan nodded happily.
This way, Qu Shan and the coachman spent their first night at the first section of the family. They slept on the floor of Shao Xiaoqi's room.
Ms. Fang asked Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao to follow them to the province since there was nothing much going on in the family.
Shao Yunduan was hesitant about this.
Living as a large family next to the ancestral hall was not as convenient as living at home. There was still farm work to do every day, and the house was being built. Somebody had to go see it a few times.
If half of the family was gone, they were running out of helping hands in the family.
What if the other sections of the family caused trouble at the time. He was worried that his mother would run into a problem when he and Qiao Xuan were absent.
Ms. Fang seemed to have seen through his concern, and she smiled. "Don't worry, just do what you need to do. I am not bullied easily, and I have Sanlang and Ms. Yang with me here."
Dalang was too honest to fight back, especially when Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle were in an argument. But if Ms. Fang was bullied, he would definitely step forward.
Ms. Xu was not a good helper, but if she forced her to help her as a mother-in-law, she would not refuse to do so.
Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni were with her and they always took her side. So, even if Shao Yunduan and the others were away for a while, it would be fine.
Shao Yunduan agreed and nodded at the proposal.
Early the next day, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, Qi and Taotao left with Qu Shan and the coachman.
After breakfast, Ms. Xu, Yang Xiaoni were doing housework, whilst Ms. Fang was taking care of her grandchildren as Shao Dalang and his brother went to check around the new house before heading to the mountains for wood chopping.
It was getting cold soon and they needed to store as much wood as possible, enough for the winter and the spring.
Wood was not easily obtained when it rained too much in spring.
Ms. Fang looked and saw Shao Liulang in front of him.
"Oh? What are you doing here?"
Ms. Fang sounded calm but she looked very cold.
This man had the audacity to suggest moving the whole family together after their new house was built.
Ms. Fang looked down at him to an extreme degree..
