Chapter 736: Chapter 736: The Arrogance of Aristocratic Nobles
“What?!” Upon hearing Qiao Changshun’s words, Qiao Xiaomai felt a slight sinking in her heart, “The Sun Family said that the aristocrats in the capital were planning to cause trouble for our family?”
“Yes, she said that although our dried sweet potatoes taste good, they were only sold to those aristocrats once, and then there was no communication. The reason she argued, was because these aristocrats have come to know about your mother’s past and think she is tainted.”
“Has there been news from the young master Fan?” Qiao Xiaomai hurriedly asked.
“No, after you left, only Shopkeeper He came, seeing that your mother and I were no longer making dried sweet potatoes, he didn’t ask again.”
“Wait, I’ll ask Guard Xiaoyang.” Tong Sanlang had also noticed the seriousness of the matter.
Perhaps, the words of the Sun Family were not merely nonsense.
We have to ask around.
As Tong Sanlang spoke these words, he had already flown out of the room, using his light skills to head towards the academy.
He quickly found Guard Xiaoyang and started inquiring about the situation in the capital.
Speaking of the matters in the capital, Guard Xiaoyang indeed knew a little bit.
“Miss Qiao is famous in the capital, the 500 pounds of dried sweet potatoes that young master Fan bought earlier received many good reviews. Therefore, those people planned to ask young master Fan to purchase more from Miss Qiao.”
“However, at this point, news started to spread that Miss Qiao’s mother had once eloped with a wild man. This kind of background has tarnished the status of those aristocrats, hence the plan to purchase more dried sweet potatoes was dropped.”
“Those aristocrats who have tasted the dried sweet potatoes, are they planning to trouble the Qiao Family?” Tong Sanlang hurriedly asked.
“Cause trouble for the Qiao Family? I doubt it. Miss Qiao has appeared before the retired emperor, both the prince and the retired emperor had tasted the dried sweet potatoes and didn’t say anything about it, hence, those aristocrats wouldn’t say anything on the surface.”
The fact that both Yang Ye and the retired emperor enjoyed the dried sweet potatoes, yet these people insisted that the ones who made them were unclean, implying that they want to find Qiao Xiaomai for an explanation was unlikely.
These people are not that foolish.
Among those who have tasted the dried sweet potatoes delivered by Fan Jia, some come from noble families.
The noble people pride themselves on their noble bloodline and look down on the Yang Family, with their humble background.
If they despise the Yang Family, they would, even more, despise the Qiao Family.
But with the military power possessed by the Yang Family, these noble people would not make a scene, they would only contemptuously criticize Yang Ye and the retired emperor’s taste in private, while cursing Qiao Xiaomai heavily.
After hearing this, the heavy stone in Tong Sanlang’s heart relaxed slightly. Read full story at novęlfire.net
But it just eased a little.
Qiao Xiaomai intends to become the internet celebrity of Daqi, and targets the market at the aristocrats in Capital City. Yet now, these aristocrats refuse to buy Qiao Xiaomai’s goods anymore on the grounds that they despise Zhuang Lühe.
In this way, the blueprint in Qiao Xiaomai’s heart could not be drawn.
These arrogant people from noble families…
They really wanted to ruthlessly tread them underfoot.
No wonder the retired emperor always wanted to eradicate them.
They should be eradicated.
Guard Xiaoyang noticed that Tong Sanlang looked upset, he immediately advised, “You shouldn’t take it to heart, if they don’t eat, others will. As long as it tastes good, that’s what matters.”
“Also, tofu and bean curd, cold jelly noodles, braised pork, and other dishes are all devised by Miss Qiao, those people still eat with relish. If they reject everything related to Miss Qiao, I would admire them.”
As a personal guard of Yang Ye, Guard Xiaoyang is well aware of the arrogance of the noble families in Capital City.
