Chapter 375: College
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Land Officer of the Zhang Village was a little greedy, but Qiao Xuan did not care much about it.
But the premise was that no one should not try to trick her and Shao Yunduan as if they were fools.
They reached an agreement. They would go to the town together on the day when Shao Yunduan intended to head to Minghua College.
Qiao Xuan had two large bergamots and decided to take them to Mingren Tang and give them to Manager Qin.
Qiao Xuan already asked Shao Yunduan if he was going to give some things to the teachers at college.
Shao Yunduan shook his head and turned her offer down.
The three teachers at Minghua College were not outstanding in knowledge and they were not the same when treating others. One person called Mr. Zhou was even worse. He treated those students from a rich family in a friendly manner and even inquired about how they were doing, but he always ignored students like Shao Yunduan who hailed from the village.
Before Shao Yunduan became the Cultivated Talent, they did not think that he was promising at all.
It was not until he became a Cultivated Talent and married Qiao Xuan, when they started to treat him nicely and passionately for a while. Later when they realized that the Qiao Family never visited him and he did not talk about his relationship with the Qiao Family, and that Qiao Xuan was just a concubine’s daughter, they tried to stay away from him.
But for being the Cultivated Talent, they would even drive him out of the college.
The three teachers had been living in town and they hung out with rich people sometimes. So, they were quite knowledgeable and were different from normal villagers.
They could clearly see how the Qiao Family treated Shao Yunduan.
Qiao Xuan must be a disgraced daughter of a concubine!
Hence, the Qiao Family would not like this son-in-law of theirs.
Therefore, they would not mingle with Shao Yunduan.
As a result, even Shao Yunduan treated them like ordinary teachers. They were given some small presents, and during festivals, they were given a dozen eggs and one or two chickens, that was all.
Qiao Xuan had no idea what was going on at the college, but she followed what her husband told her.
As Qiao Xuan reached Mingren Tang, Manager Qin was extremely cordial to her after not seeing her for a long time.
His eyes were sparkling seeing the two large golden fruits. He could not help but praise them.
Bergamot was one of the best tributes offered to the ancestors of gods and Buddhas. For those who were a little more particular, there must always be a pair of big bergamots served at home.
But it was not easy to get the top-grade big bergamots because in the process of growth, bergamot was easy to get scratches, and the bergamot with scratches could only be used to fumigate the house as a decoration or as medicine.
Madames and ladies from rich people really liked bergamots.
When Qiao Xuan offered the present, Manager Qin decided to take them home to his mother, who would get really pleased.
He would be very happy when his mother was happy.
He could not help but ask Qiao Xuan. “Mrs. Shao, do you have any other similar ones? If yes, please spare some to me and I will buy them at a reasonable price.”
It was a great thing as presents!
Qiao Xuan smiled. “You are too late, Manager Qin. It is not easy to get the fruits without scratches. We only had four and the other two have been given to Young Master Xie and Young Master Yuezheng.”
Manager Qin was startled. He was very surprised that Qiao Xuan was hanging out with the two young masters.
“Oh, that is a pity. But if you have more in the future, spare some for me too, okay?”
Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile.. “No problem!”
