It was difficult to find someone who would not trap her in the backyard and support her in her career and even speak highly of her.
Shao Yunduan asked Qiao Xuan to put away the papers carefully.
Qiao Xuan put them into her space, to keep it safe.
In the other box, there were dozens of jewels and five or six pieces of jade.
The jewelry included a pair of jade bracelets, several hairpins inlaid with gemstones and pearls, two pairs of gold hairpins, and two pairs of gemstone earrings. It would not be too eye-catching when she wore it.
Qiao Xuan liked them and did not put them away until she played with them for a while.
Shao Yunduan said in a low voice, “l will buy you some when I start getting my salary as an officer, okay?”
Qiao Xuan laughed. “Okay, I will wait for your gifts.”
Shao Yunduan smiled. “Yes, just wait for me!”
By that time, he would accompany her back to the Qiao mansion together in glory.
The next day, Yuezheng Xiao chose to head to the Zhao Family with Qu Shan.
Xie Jingrong remained at the Shao Family.
Qiao Xuan, together with Qi and Chunyu, planted the flowers and trees that Yuezheng Xiao had taken from his mother.
The flowers included hydrangea, tuberose, hosta, crape myrtle, hibiscus, chrysanthemum, osmanthus, and acacia. They had a lot of space spared for the plants but soon the space was filled up.
After a few months, the house would be filled with blooming flowers, with fragrance over the place.
Right after, they went to fish in the river.
Xie Jingrong had never seen such a scene before. He joined them for fun as well.
They planned to have a visit in the mountains, and hunt some animals.
They did not need to make the lipsticks since the flowers were not yet in full bloom. So, there were not too many things to do during this time. The two guests had not noticed the flower fields, and Qiao Xuan did not mention the topic, either. She did not want to show them this.
Flowers were not that interesting to see.
Also, she did not want to tell anyone about how to make the lipsticks.
She trusted Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong, but not the servants. They might not be up to anything bad, or reveal any secrets deliberately, but they might spill it unintentionally.
Qiao Xuan wanted to keep the making of lipsticks a secret for as long as possible.
When Old Master Zhao heard that Young Master Yuezheng was here for a visit, he thought that he had misheard his servant.
But it did seem that Young Master Yuezheng would be here soon as per the message sent. Old Master Zhao sprang up quickly and said, “Go and fetch Young Master over! Housekeeper, come and greet Young Master Yuezheng with me!”
The Yuezheng Family had gained a good reputation in the county, and everyone knew them.
The Zhao Family was a leader in the county, but compared to the Yuezheng Family, they were nothing, not at the same level.
Now that Young Master Yuezheng was here personally, it made Old Master Zhao so glad..
