Whenever it was festival time, they could just give some presents to the Xie Family, and that was how they would be able to actually shorten the distance between them two.
The bigger Officer Qiao dreamed, the more he liked his wife. “You are such a smart helper!”
Madame Qiao smiled proudly. “We are one family and are bound together. Your honor will be my honor, so I have to pay attention to your affairs!”
“You are so good, haha!” Officer Qiao laughed loudly.
Early in the morning, Qiao Xuan spread the seeds of some plants with Ms. Xu and Shao Taotao, before heading to the town with Shao Yunduan.
In order to show enough importance to the matter, Qiao Xuan found an appropriate sized box from her useless dowry and put the 500 years old Chinese fleeceflower root inside it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYuezheng Xiao had told them about their lodge when they bid farewell to each other the last time, so Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan headed directly to the hotel once they reached the town.
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong had been resting at the hotel due to the strenuous mountain-climbing a couple of days ago.
Hearing about their visit, Yuezheng Xiao smiled and asked his servant to invite the couple in.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were here to deliver the Chinese fleeceflower root.
Xie Jingrong was overjoyed and also surprised. He thanked them again and again after seeing the large-sized, fresh-smelling plant, and headed to Mingren Tang along with them for Manager Qin to identify the age of the plant.
Manager Qin was dumbfounded as well.
He had never expected that they really could find the Chinese fleeceflower root!
He had dispatched many people from the pharmacy, and entrusted experienced hunters and farmers to go into the mountains, yet everyone failed to find anything.
These two were just…
They were just so lucky.
Manager Qin exclaimed in joy when he saw the size. “I have seen many Chinese fleeceflower roots, this size should definitely be over 300 years old!”
Xie Jingrong looked very happy.
300 years old would be okay, if 500 years old one could not be found.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said calmly, “Manager Qin, look carefully again!”
“Okay!” Manager Qin nodded and started to observe the roots and stems carefully, trying to distinguish every single detail.
They had no other devices to test the age, and the manager had to discern it with only his eyes. Over the years, he had become very good at distinguishing the plant’s age.

“Really?”
“Let me take a look at it!”
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong spoke up simultaneously.
One of them thanked Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan out of politeness, whilst the other looked at the Chinese fleeceflower root curiously, as if hoping that it would bloom.
That was a Chinese fleeceflower root over 500 years old. It was such a rare thing!
The entire group was happy after they left Mingren Tang.
Xie Jingrong invited the couple to have a drink at the tea house, whilst his servant had run back to the hotel to fetch the gift.
Soon the servant came over.
Xie Jingrong opened the brocade box, and there was a jade lying in an apricorn colored brocade. It looked so white and pure, showcasing some bright circles around it. It was definitely not cheap.
Xie Jingrong smiled. “Thank you so much Young Master Shao and Mrs. Shao. If you ever need my help, please bring this jade to the Xie Family, and I will do all I can to give you a hand.”
