The two of them returned home and opened the presents given by Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan respectively. Both of them were shocked.
China roots were of excellent quality, very difficult to obtain, though not so difficult for them.
But Ganoderma was really rare!
It was bigger than a man’s open hand, thick and well-patterned, black in color and flawless. It emitted an attractive herbal smell.
What they did not know was that Qiao Xuan had put the plant in space for a few days and used her superpower to make it better, so it was far better than the ordinary kinds.
These were indeed precious things. Each of them should be worth more than 2,000 liang, and could not be bought easily.
They both believed that Shao Yunduan and his family did not buy them and must have found them in the mountains!
They should know that this plant was very precious.
But they gave them away as presents. What precious gifts!
“Brother Shao and his family are so generous. It is wonderful!”
Yuezheng Xiao ordered Qu Shan to wrap up the plants and deliver them to his mother in the outskirts area.
His father was still sick and the plants were good for health. They should come in handy.
At the Xie Mansion, Xie Jingrong was so shocked when seeing the presents. He promptly had them delivered to his grandmother.
Madame Xie was so happy that she kept smiling. “You all say that I adore
Jingrong more, but look at how much he loves me! He found me the best Chinese fleeceflower root, and now this! These two are really rarely-seen herbs. Jingrong must have spent a lot of effort to find them. I adore him deeply and no one should crib about it!”
People present there smiled and spoke highly of Xie Jingrong.
Xie Jingrong’s cousins got so jealous but stayed mum.
They had tried to find Chinese fleeceflower root but couldn’t find it!
They had offered some rare plants to the grandmother, but never found such a great-looking one before.
It was just Xie Jingrong’s luck…
Xie Jingrong’s pageboy kept Shao Yunduan company at the academic events, whilst Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao as well as Qiao Xuan rented a wagon and traveled around the province every day.
Qiao Xuan had asked Shao Xiaoqi to accompany Shao Yunduan.
But Shao Yunduan turned that idea down.
He insisted that Shao Xiaoqi should keep Qiao Xuan and Taotao company.
He did not think that two girls should travel alone in the town. They were friends with Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong, but the two of them were far away. Shao Xiaoqi was a man and he should be of some help incase of any emergency.
He also gave the coachman a lot of money, telling him to pay more attention to them and he would receive an extra bonus for it in the future. The coachman felt quite happy and agreed.
Qiao Xuan loved traveling. She made a specific plan and went about with Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao for shopping and food tasting.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao got so excited and obeyed Qiao Xuan’s order dutifully.
They visited many places of interest before it turned hot, and returned to the town at lunchtime to eat at a recommended, old restaurant..
