They took a nap at the hotel and at four in the afternoon, they went to a few stores and some other leisure places, before joining Shao Yunduan for dinner.

Shao Yunduan felt quite jealous after hearing Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao’s talks regarding where they had been and what they ate, bought and saw in the morning.

He threw a quick look at Qiao Xuan. He had not yet spent much qualitative time with her outside…

He needed to find a good time to walk with her.

After a couple of days of shopping, Qiao Xuan bought quite a lot of things, which were not easily seen in the town, like clothes materials, embroidery threads, blushers, silk flowers, small, beautiful jewelry, various seasonings

and dry food ingredients.

Province and town were different. Qiao Xuan was very happy to see sun dried shrimps, abalones, sea cuc.u.mbers, hairtails, conches, sea scallops, scallops, and yellow croakers. She bought a lot of each kind.

She would buy the snacks and long-lasting pastry one day before they returned home.

She even visited the pharmacies, trying to see if she could get any fresh ginseng. But unfortunately, she could not find any.

Good ginsengs were rare, but all were processed, not originally growing. Qiao Xuan had to give up finding fresh ones.

She was very interested in plants, fruit trees and expensive flowers and woods, so she spent some time there too.

It was not the best time to plant flowers, so there were not many available except for some pots. Qiao Xuan did not need any of those.

She went to visit some florists and checked their flower gardens, but none was good enough for the s.p.a.ce.

Finally, she bought some plum trees, different kinds of grapes and peach trees. She was going to pick them up one day before they went home. The fruits of these could be eaten in the next year.

After a few days in a row, Shao Yunduan had visited the places he needed to and met those whom he had to meet. He had obtained much knowledge and was more confident about the imperial examination next year.

The following day, Xie Jingrong asked them to visit him at the side mansion, and they decided to leave after two days.

After dinner, the day turned dark and Shao Yunduan asked Qiao Xuan. “What about taking a walk around? Just nearby.”

There was a river pa.s.sing through the city nearby. Willows and peach trees were planted along the riverside. The area along the riverside was also a famous local food street. There were countless shops, large and small, lively at night.

Especially in summer, many catering shops liked to put long tables and stools on the wide venue at the entrance. There were countless diners, and the restaurant was s.p.a.cious and cool. The fragrance was permeating, which was particularly appealing.

In the past few days, they had visited a lot of places during the day. At night, after dinner, everyone had no energy to go out again. Therefore, though they knew about such a place and yearned for it, they didn’t visit it.

Now, they wanted to have a last walk around the area.

Qiao Xuan was quite interested in seeing the night town in the ancient city. So she said, “Okay, I heard that it is very lively along the river.” Shao Yunduan nodded and looked gentle. “Let’s go.”

“What about fetching Taotao and Qi?”

“Well…” Shao Yunduan sounded indifferent. “They are already there.” He had already looked into it and believed that it was very safe with many people there. He instructed Qi and Taotao not to stay close to the small alleyway or come home too late, thus letting them go alone..
