Chapter 511: A Lovely Treatment

Ms. Mi Junior sneered and told her maid that the first section of the family always hung out with filthy, lowly people.

A Cultivated Talent was not that great or worthy enough to spend so many efforts on.

The first section of the family arranged a nice, simple treatment for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan in the main hall.

It was a lovely evening.

Hearing that Qiao Xuan was here to buy laborers, First Madame said that she could help. She would go along so that the agencies don’t cheat them.

That was exactly what Qiao Xuan hoped to ask her for. She thanked her gratefully.

Agencies were always very tricky. They had all kinds of ideas going on in their minds.

An agency would probably sell them bad quality people seeing that Qiao Xuan was not a local resident and the laborers could not be refunded once purchased.

With First Madame keeping her company, things would be different. No agency would dare lie to the First Madame of the Yuezheng Family!

Early next morning, First Madame was about to take Shao Yunduan and Qiao

Xuan to greet Madame Yuezheng, but Madame Yuezheng turned her down. The meeting was canceled.

First Madame asked the maid. “Did Second Mrs. Yuezheng visit Madame Yuezheng this morning?

The maid nodded, without concealing a thing.

First Madame snorted and understood what was going on.

This sister-in-law of hers spared no efforts to give her trouble.

Nevermind, she didn’t care. They could treat their own guests well enough. First Madame sent her men to pa.s.s on messages to the agencies she was familiar with, setting up an appointment that they were going to buy good laborers.

She took Qiao Xuan around during the next two days.

As for Shao Yunduan… he was hanging out with Yuezheng Xiao and Xie

Jingrong. The three of them headed elsewhere.

At this time, the plum blossoms in the Fuyu Temple outside the city were in full bloom. It was a good time to appreciate plum blossoms.

First Madame said to Qiao Xuan with a smile, “The plum blossoms in Fuyu Temple are a must-see site in the province. You guys came here just in time. It would be a pity if you didn’t go and see them. Especially those green plums… they are the most authentic. There is the oldest green plum tree in the plum grove, which is said to be hundreds of years old. It is said that it is the mother of all green plums in the world. All the green plums in other places are born from this plant.”

Qiao Xuan’s eyes sparkled and she asked with a smile. “Is that true? Then it must be a very precious plant!”

She loved precious plants!

First Madame didn’t know the inside story, but she could see that Qiao Xuan was very happy to hear this. When Qiao Xuan was happy, it meant that she had done a good job as the host, so she was also glad.

She nodded with a smile. “That’s naturally precious, it’s a treasure in the temple! Let’s go today, it’s the perfect time. We can just buy a few sticks of incense, and come back after having a fasting meal in the temple. The temple food in Fuyu Temple is a must-have, and the scenery in the temple is also good. It is worth the trip.”

Qiao Xuan was looking forward to it already.

First Madame arranged the wagon and they went out together.

The plums were blooming and it was very lively inside the temple.

There were two patches of plum trees in the temple.

There was a large area of plum forests without any marked boundary in the back mountain, which was open to all pilgrims, and everyone could go to enjoy the flowers.

There were all kinds of red, white, pink, and green plums, and they were in full bloom. They were beautiful and very lively.

There was another more exquisite plum garden, which was spread across ten mu. It was built around the rare green plum that had been around for hundreds of years. This place was far more exquisite, whether it was the shape of the tree, the color of the tree, or the matching scenery. It contained various different pavilions.

But it was not open to the public. Only people with considerable status, or those who had donated a large sum of incense money to the temple were eligible to go inside..
