The woman wore a lake blue dress, followed a young man, and then moved into the house opposite them.
She is very similar to Ye Zhenzhen.
The Cui family is well-known in Linxi County, and related gossip has spread among the families. Ye Zhenzhen is naturally familiar with the two or three scandals in her family, especially after the second daughter of the Ye family became the concubine of County Magistrate Li.
, and it became a joke.
Qin Yueru had met Magistrate Li's concubine - at one of Mrs. Su's tea parties, she waited beside her with a low eyebrow and she could tell that she was being teased a lot. Later, Magistrate Li was arrested, and she took her with her
Xinruan ran away.
Because of this incident, there was a public case of Mrs. Su buying a murderer and committing adultery.
But, is the woman opposite really Ye Jiajia?
Qin Yueru approached Fang Zheng to inquire about the news.
Fang Zheng was the supervisor and manager of Lifang. Scholars and officials who lived in Xiandefang were required to present certificates and pay monthly money to him. Qin Yueru had a good relationship with his wife and found out a lot of gossip in the Fang.
She quickly found out that the man and woman opposite were a couple, both from Linyang Prefecture. The man's surname was Xu and his name was An Hao. They were scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam. As for the wife's name, she didn't know. She only knew that she was
The surname is Ye.
A native of Lin'an Prefecture, his surname is also Ye.
Qin Yueru was excited. She was 80% convinced that she had not mistakenly admitted the wrong person, but she still said to Mrs. Lifang, "Mrs. Zhou, Madam Ye seems to be from my hometown, but I don't want to offend you. Madam, please help me find out the identity of Madam Ye."
Mrs. Zhou sneered in her heart, since we are neighbors, what's the taboo about visiting her? This statement is obviously fishy.
But she didn't care. For the sake of Qin Yueru's gift of money, she agreed with a smile.
On the second day, Mrs. Ye, who had just been placed, was knocked on the door by Mrs. Zhou.
Seeing her when she opened the door, Mrs. Ye immediately respectfully invited her in, poured her a cup of tea, and said rather embarrassedly, "There is still a bit of chaos at home, and I really didn't treat you well. Mrs. Zhou, please forgive me."
Although Fangzheng's official position is not big, it is still in charge, and no one would want to offend him. As a helpless person who dares to go to Beijing, he has to be flattered in every possible way.
Mrs. Zhou has become accustomed to the flattery of people in the house, and she put it down after taking a sip of tea, "It's just like this when we first settled down. It won't be a problem. You just came to the capital and are not familiar with the place. If you have any difficulties, just come to us. Although our family is not
It’s a rich and powerful family, but snakes have snake ways and they always have some ability.”
Mrs. Ye was quite flattered. She obviously didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to be so approachable. She was a little surprised for a moment. She didn't know what was special about her family that deserved her attention.
In fact, she was overly worried. Even without Qin Yueru's entrustment, Mrs. Zhou would have made good friends with the Xu family. After all, the people who lived in the house were all officials and scholars, and they might not know which one would be successful. They didn't know which one was a thousand-mile horse, so they treated them equally.
Treat them kindly, and when they become successful in the future, they can earn some money.
Therefore, over the years, the Zhou family has developed a lot of relationships, which is why Mrs. Zhou dared to boast so much.
Madam Ye speculated in her mind, but did not dare to reveal it. She just smiled and said, "Madam, this is a timely blessing. The young lady is worried about where to buy affordable belongings. I hope Madam can give me some advice."
Mrs. Zhou was naturally obedient and spread the knowledge about living in Beijing to her, which earned her a lot of gratitude. When the exchange was almost complete, she held Madam Ye's hand and said with a smile, "Mrs. Ye is really a cheerful person. I immediately recognized her.
If you like it, let’s match our names in the future. My name is Huilan, I wonder what Madam Ye calls me?”
Madam Ye pursed her lips and said, "The little woman's name is Jia Jia."
"Ye Jiajia, what a good name!"
Mrs. Zhou praised, "Jia Jia must have come from a family of poetry and calligraphy. Just listening to his conversation makes him different from others."
Ye Jiajia's eyes flashed, "Yes, my father is a scholar, and the young lady knows a few words, which made Mrs. Zhou laugh."
Mrs. Zhou wanted to ask more questions, but Ye Jiajia was quite defensive, so she answered them one by one, causing her to raise her eyebrows frequently. This art of speech with many traces of avoiding the topic seemed like
She was trained in the courtyard of Shenzhai. It seems that Mrs. Ye originally lived in a wealthy family.
Why not suspect that it is from her husband's family? Because Mrs. Ye's husband, Xu Anhao, is a poor scholar. The documents record that all close relatives have passed away. He was able to go to Beijing to take the exam because of Mrs. Ye's dowry.
Mrs. Zhou had almost found out the information, so she didn't stay any longer. After making excuses to leave, she went directly to the Xu family across the street.
When Qin Yueru got the news, her eyes lit up with excitement. Mrs. Zhou asked curiously, "Is Madam Ye opposite you an old friend of yours?"
She knew that Qin Yueru was a person who had nothing to gain but no family in Xiandefang that she liked. There must be some mystery behind the recent attention paid to the new Ms. Ye.
Of course, Mrs. Zhou also has this kind of virtue.
Qin Yueru was well aware of her character and naturally did not want to leak the news, so she restrained her joy and pretended to be calm and said, "There is indeed some similarity. I will pay her a visit someday and get to know Mrs. Ye properly."
However, she did not visit the other side and left Xiandefang the next day. All these actions were seen by those who were interested.
The so-called caring people include Mrs. Zhou and Ye Jiajia.
Mrs. Zhou was even more sure that there was something fishy, and Ye Jiajia recognized Qin Yueru's identity. With a flash of her eyes, she followed him secretly under the pretext of buying some property.
——Yesterday, Mrs. Zhou tested her in every possible way, which made her wary. After she left, she secretly peeped at her. When she saw her entering the house opposite, she was always vigilant, worried that there might be some conspiracy.
When she fled with the Li family, she suffered a lot along the way, which had made her cautious and suspicious. Naturally, she would not trust strangers when she was unfamiliar with the place.
But she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance from Linxi County.
The moment she saw Qin Yueru, she instinctively panicked for no other reason than her identity as a runaway concubine. Even the customs clearance documents were privately made with Li Xuandao's seal. There was no backup in the government. If Qin Yueru exposed it, not only
The secret will be exposed in front of Xu Anhao, and he will be punished by the government.
She finally married a noble man, and she is expected to become an official wife in the future. She will never allow anyone to ruin her!
Now she only has one thought: to stop Qin Yueru and prevent her from reporting to the government!
As a result, the sedan followed him all the way, and Qin Yueru did not go to the government office, but entered a neighborhood called Jurenfang, and finally stopped in front of a house.
Ye Jiajia looked through the car window and saw a brand-new plaque hanging on the door of the house, with two characters drawn in iron and silver hooks, which was sharp to the eyes and drilled into the heart.
