In front of the pavilion, there was a small pond of 13 to 14 square meters. In the pond, there were beautiful koi swimming around and water lilies. In the shallow water, there were clumps of unknown aquatic plants with golden flowers as high as half a person. They were full of vitality.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan loved the house.
They decided to get the family here to spend some time together in the province, after the Mid-autumn Festival.
There was a small market close by, so Qiao Xuan, Lixia and Liqiu went to buy some stuff. She decided to cook during the following days.
With Lixia, Liqiu helping around, she could definitely cook three meals a day for these people.
They bought 30 eggs, one chicken and lamb ribs, as well as some other fresh vegetables. She was going to stew the chicken and braise the ribs with two vegetables.
Before that, First Madame sent two boxes over. It consisted of eight dishes and one soup.
They could not finish it and the day was too hot for the dishes to be kept. Qiao Xuan gave some to the maids and guards, so that they could share the food with their families.
The staff was very glad and thanked the couple.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan settled down in the province.
By this point, there were a few wealthy Cultivated Talents who had already come to the province. They were either living in their own houses, or at their relatives. Some were even stationed at the hostels. They soon started to befriend each other. They exchanged opinions and information, it was very lively.
Shao Yunduan went there occasionally, but not often.
He did not reveal his relationship with Xie Jingrong, but Xie Jingrong gave him the earliest and most comprehensive information, so he did not have to gather up with those people.
He could spend more time studying at home or going out with Qiao Xuan. That was much more comfortable.
Qiao Xuan would visit First Madame occasionally, and First Madame treated her nicely as always.
First Madame did not want her to cook. She even gave her some good chefs to help her. But Qiao Xuan turned her down.
She bought the most fresh ingredients in the nearest market, and Lixia and Liqiu helped along. So, they could cook a meal with three dishes and one soup easily.
It was the Province and they did not lack anything. She liked cooking anyway.
She could even buy beef every second day.
Honestly, she only got to buy beef only three times in the county market.
Now, they were able to eat many dishes cooked with beef.
They had stir-fried beef with green pepper, braised beef in brown sauce, West Lake beef soup, stewed beef tendon meat, beef hot pot, beef dry pot, sauerkraut boiled beef slices, boiled beef, stewed beef brisket, and a hot pot containing beef offal or stewed or fried beef.
Each dish was delicious.
On her third visit to the First Madame, she ran out of luck and came across Yuezheng Ting.
She was about to dodge her when Yuezheng Ting stopped right in front of her.
"How dare you come here. Don't you feel guilty?"
The guiding maid did not know what to do. So, she had to step aside.
Qiao Xuan was confused. "What do you mean, Lady Yuezheng?"
Yuezheng Ting shouted. "You are trying to trick me again! You still haven't told me your actual residential address.."
