Qiao Xuan turned down the brocade box. “It is just a small favor, we can not accept such a big present.”
“If it is okay with you, we would like to have lunch here.”
Startled, Auntie Hua smiled. “That is totally okay, please stay for lunch, this present…”
“Just put it away, we can’t accept it!”
Qiao Xuan just could not accept such a large present just because she did a small favor for them.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Auntie Hua did not insist, but exchanged names between each other so they could be served lunch soon.
Qiao Xuan could not give up the chance of taking a walk around and begged the maid. “Auntie Hua, can we take a walk around this garden, it looks so beautiful!”
It might be a little rude for them to make a proposal just because they had done them a small favor.
Slightly surprised, Auntie Hua did not expect that a properly-behaved woman like Qiao Xuan would propose something .
Despite her slight displeasure, Auntie Hua nodded with a smile. “Sure, just walk around as you wish, but don’t go too far!”
Qiao Xuan smiled and thanked her.
Taotao thought that her sister-in-law was really interested in the landscape in the garden, so she was also very glad to have a chance to take a look around this beautiful garden.
The two girls walked into the garden.
Qiao Xuan had a predetermined goal in her mind. She simply followed the direction the space was summoning her to.
Soon, they came to the deep side of the garden.
Then, she was shocked!
She was totally taken aback, facing the patch of woods in front of her!
Taotao could not help but breathe. “It smells so good, what are these trees? They are giving off such a nice scent!”
Of course, there was a great smell. The forest was not large but there was so much sandalwood, which was emitting the fragrance.
The trees were very well trimmed, despite the size. Some large trees would be as old as 40 years.
Qiao Xuan did not recognize the trees, but she could sense that there was a smell of sandalwood.
But she could also sense that the forest was filled with precious trees.
That was because her space had turned desperate for them.
If she was more knowledgeable, she would be even more shocked, because the trees included sandalwood, yellow rosewood, lobular Venus red sandalwood, Golden Phoebe, camphor tree, purple camphor tree, cold scented tree and more.
The owner of the abbey apparently loved those precious woods, so they had this patch filled with trees many years ago.
These were huge trees!
Qiao Xuan could not help but walk into the trees, when she saw a very tall, sky-piercing tree.
But she could not just take them.
She wanted to get a few twigs but she failed to reach them. She needed to walk up to the tree to get them.
Qiao Xuan struggled for a while, but didn’t ask Taotao to climb the tree together. It would be embarrassing if people in the abbey saw it, especially after they were received so warmly. If she did this, it would be too disrespectful and unsuitable.
Qiao Xuan thought and decided to ask Auntie Hua to get two twigs for them, small ones would do too!
As long as these twigs went into space, with the blessing of magical power, the space would be full of vitality. The small branches could take root and grow vigorously..
