Qiao Xuan got taken aback. She stood up and smiled. “How did it go?
Shao Yunduan pinched her wrist, whispering. “We will talk outside.”
Qiao Xuan nodded.
The couple waved goodbye to the servant and left.
Getting on the wagon, Qiao Xuan said to Shao Yunduan, “Darling…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShao Yunduan sighed slightly, replying in a little distressed tone. “I did not meet the elderly man, but this uncle is excellent too. After a rough look, he said that my handwriting was too small, my strokes were erratic, and my mind was not stable enough. In fact, I also felt a little bit like this, but it was not as thorough as he said.”
The servant’s comments were sharp and straightforward. A person without self-knowledge would not be able to accept that, and might even mock him for not knowing and pretending to understand everything.
But Shao Yunduan was different.
He was a Cultivated Talent, and he flushed after hearing the comments. But he knew clearly that this well-behaved servant was telling the truth.
Qiao Xuan was shocked to hear his words.
She blinked and sighed. “So the elderly man you did not meet should be even more capable?”
“I think so.” Shao Yunduan looked earnest, as he smiled. “The uncle asked me to visit him again tomorrow morning, and I should meet him at that time.”
Qiao Xuan’s eyes sparkled. “Darling, you should definitely work hard. If that elderly man is capable, he can help you. He will definitely be much better than the low-class college teachers!”
Qiao Xuan found the whole thing becoming more real and less vague.
Shao Yunduan was motivated too. He nodded and said, “I will be there tomorrow morning.”
The couple went home and Shao Yunduan walked into the study. He was thinking about a few articles, which might be of some help the next day.
Qiao Xuan suddenly thought that Shao Yunduan should not visit the elderly man empty handed. But what should he take with them?
That elderly man was a very strange person, so she needed to think about this carefully.
The gifts should not be too precious, not fitting his style.
Food should be the best, produced by a farming family.
Qiao Xuan asked her mother-in-law for help. They held a discussion and finally decided upon two pieces of smoked meat, a portion of smoked sausage, a package of dried radish, a package of dried plums, a few fresh winter bamboo shoots, a few salted duck eggs, and some preserved eggs.

prepared and full of good intentions.
Qiao Xuan told Shao Yunduan about it and he smiled. “Thank you for your help!”
Qiao Xuan flushed and smiled shyly. “Mom helped too!”
“Yes.” Shao Yunduan chuckled. “Thanks for the help, Mom!”
They ate breakfast, and left, with Shao Sanlang driving the wagon.
Qiao Xuan was very nervous, but the others did not know that Shao Yunduan was visiting someone special.
Soon after lunch, Shao Liulang suddenly showed up.
“Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, something is wrong! Cousin made a mistake and offended Dean Meng of our college. Dean Meng got so angry that he drove him out of the college! He is not going to study at our college any more!”
“How can my cousin offend Dean Meng? Dean Meng is the teacher and he should be respected.. Cousin is just too stupid! What should be done now?
