Under the premise of not having enough ability to protect themselves, they could master this kind of skill that could make huge profits. But once it was exposed, not only would they not make a fortune, but it would cause disaster and even make them lose money.
This was like a three-year-old child who held gold in his hand and rushed to the market.
Qiao Xuan did not tell First Madame about what happened. Her own family was into garments and silk, and she had two large silk factories as part of her dowry. She had numerous brocades, silk and different kinds of garments in her private possession.
She was sorting through them, and showed some to Qiao Xuan, sharing some knowledge about the garments.
That was a rare opportunity. Qiao Xuan was very surprised and cherished this moment well. She had learned a lot from First Madame.
She was smart and clever. She asked all kinds of right questions and even shared some of her own opinions with the First Madame.
First Madame was very gratified hearing that.
She liked the young woman even more.
Qiao Xuan could not speak highly of herself. She was not born in the same era as the rest of them, and it was not rare that she could think of some advanced ideas.
First Madame sighed happily as she saw how modest she was.
Half a day passed without them realizing it.
Qiao Xuan had to stay at First Madame’s place for lunch.
First Madame ordered the kitchen to make sweet and sour squirrel mandarin fish. The taste was very appetizing in summer.
There were also light steamed crab powder meatballs, shrimp tofu, cold wolfberry sprouts, and beef bitter gourd. The maids were ordered to make jelly and sour plum soup, which were chilled with ice cubes and could be used to cool off after lunch.
After a sumptuous meal, Qiao Xuan bid farewell to First Madame, since she was very busy with many things in the mansion.
First Madame did not keep her but asked her to join her again after a few days.
When she was sorting the garments, she gave some to Qiao Xuan and asked the servants to pack them.
Qiao Xuan got too many things from the First Madame, and did not turn down the generosity. She thanked her smilingly.
She was going to offer some things from her own home, like the fruits, the smoked stuff, snow fungus, the expensive tea leaves, watermelons, and so on.
But before she was able to leave the Yuezheng Family, she ran into Ms. Mi Junior.
“Greetings, Second Mrs. Yuezheng’!
Qiao Xuan stopped to greet her.
Nis. Mi Junior sized her up and smiled. “Mrs. Shao… my Elder Sister-in-law really loves you, doesn’t she? She does not even treat us . What about having a chat with me?”
Qiao Xuan did not want to.
But she needed to visit the Yuezheng Family often, so she could not escape the woman and her daughter all the time. She nodded unwillingly.
“l have to accept your invitation, sorry to trouble you, Second Mrs. Yuezheng.”
Ms. Mi Junior chuckled as she covered half her face with the fan. “No trouble at all. You are really good at saying nice words, no wonder my Elder Sister-in-law loves you! Come with me.”
Ms. Mi Junior soon took Qiao Xuan back to her own yard..
