The day of autumn arrived in a blink of an eye, and no one from the Qiao family took the exam, but Qiao Weisheng worked in the Ministry of Rites after all, and was somewhat related to this matter.
Other than that, the Qiao family is no different from usual.
But the atmosphere outside has changed a lot. There are many people talking about this competition in the streets and alleys. Some people have even begun to speculate on the candidates for the Jie Yuan in the capital.
Some underground casinos have also opened corresponding gambling games in response to the current situation, and there are actually quite a few people participating.
Originally it was just a small-scale secret betting, but as time went by, there were more and more such gambling games, and it developed to the point where there were small gambling games in teahouses and restaurants on the streets.
Several tea drinkers who are familiar with each other on weekdays ask the shopkeeper in the shop to be a witness, help collect a minimum amount, and then each place a bet, and then give the shopkeeper a certain percentage of hard work.
With the establishment of one or two restaurants, other teahouses and restaurants have followed suit.
The loudest voices here are the fifth young master of the Changxing Marquis Mansion and the second young master of the Zhen family.
There are also some testers who are somewhat famous in daily life, but Qiao Yuyan is not familiar with them, so she just listens to them.
I just feel a little regretful that I didn't remember who got to know Yuan in this subject in my previous life. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.
Sure enough, people still need to read more. This is because they are not interested in reading, so they have no interest in reading-related things at all, so they don't pay attention.
Thinking of this, I picked up "Mencius" that I couldn't stand after turning two pages. After reading one article, I felt a little dizzy. I flipped forward and read two articles today.
I felt like I was working hard, so I let it go with peace of mind.
It would be easier to pick up the account book aside and check the accounts.
Pearl came over at this time and asked her to go to Ninghe Hall.
After returning from Daxiangguo Temple that day, Qiao Yuyan met the old lady quietly the next morning and told her everything about the account hook.
The old lady never expected that such a mistake could happen. The expression on her face changed immediately, and then she told Qiao Yuyan to leave it alone and she went to explain the situation to the Song family.
Now call yourself over and don’t think about anything else except this matter.
Sure enough, when she arrived, the old lady was alone in the inner room, with no one waiting on her.
Seeing her coming, he pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down!"
Qiao Yuyan didn't say much and sat opposite her obediently, "Grandma came to see me..."
She looked at the old lady with a bit of inquiry in her eyes, and then she saw the old lady nodded slightly.
"Found it?"
"It was not done by the Song family." The old lady glanced outside. There was only one pearl standing outside the door. Others did not dare to approach without instructions. "This is also what I expected."
Qiao Yuyan nodded. In fact, she thought it couldn't be the Song family. After all, there was no motive at all.
"I have been friends with Mrs. Song for so many years. I know very well what kind of person she is. I also believe the results she found."
Qiao Yuyan quickly asked: "What was found?!"
"The result is..." The old lady paused, with a bit of hesitation on her face, but more of a puzzlement, "The result is... not found out."
Qiao Yuyan's brows frowned. During her conversation with the old lady, she firmly believed that the old lady of the Song family was a very capable and shrewd person. Didn't she even find out?
"The thing was replaced in the few days before it was given to your mother. The maid in front of Grandma Song had to clean it from time to time. She knew it most clearly, but she recognized at a glance that it was not the original pair. But
From the time I took it off to the time I gave it to your mother, more than half a month passed. I had to slowly check the people who came and went as to who dropped the bag. Who would have thought that at this time, a maid committed suicide."
"Who is it?"
"What's strange is that this person turned out to be a rootless person." The old lady let out a long sigh, "When I checked, I didn't even know who brought him into the house in the first place. He has been doing things in the inner courtyard for so many years.
The work is neither light nor heavy, and she is always diligent, and anyone can give instructions to run errands. Not long ago, she went to Grandma Song's house for someone, but at this time, in the house
He hanged himself, you said..."
Qiao Yuyan understood what the old lady had not finished saying, and felt that this matter was really strange.
The status of the Qiao family lies here. No matter how much people hate her, the child in Xu's belly will not be worthy of someone's efforts to bury such a deep nail in the Song family for several years.
Qiao Yuyan fell into deep thought, the old lady didn't speak anymore, and the grandfather and grandson fell silent for a while.
I don't know if she was afraid that Qiao Yuyan would have a knot in her heart, but the old lady added: "But don't worry, Mrs. Song's wife will not just let this matter go, and she will definitely investigate it carefully. However, the maid is dead now, and many things need to be done."
It’s not that easy to check, and the results won’t come out in a short while.”
"My granddaughter understands."
"Don't talk about it to your mother. Just pretend that this thing didn't happen! The excuse you made earlier is good. In two days, the bank will have a new one and send it to her! In order to prevent her from worrying, it will actually
not good."
This is also Qiao Yuyan's plan, so naturally there is nothing against it.
The old lady let out a long sigh, but she didn't talk about Xu's pregnancy anymore. Instead, she talked about another matter, "What happened to the Song family that day, please tell Rong'er not to spread it. I'll watch."
She goes out a lot recently."
Qiao Yurong didn't know how she negotiated with Mr. Yao, but actually made Mr. Yao agree to let her hang out in the shop.
From then on, this little girl seemed to have opened the door to a new world. She loved to go to those two shops and ask questions whenever she had nothing to do.
Because the two shops were originally owned by the government, the people inside were very familiar with the internal and external officials in various parts of the government, so a lot of words spread.
Qiao Yuyan thinks there is nothing wrong with this. For women who have not left the government, it will only benefit them in the future if they learn more about business. As for face...
As long as it doesn't spread, what does it matter?
So she made it very clear that she hoped the shopkeeper could help Qiao Yurong understand more about the business inside.
She had expressed her position, and those sneaky little voices naturally disappeared. I guess the old lady knew in her heart that since she didn't make a sound, she didn't mean to object.
Now that I heard her say this, I knew that my guess was correct.
"Grandma, don't worry. Rong'er is not an impolite person. We will just pretend we have never heard of this matter."
But the old lady waved her hand, "You'd better go and tell her, don't take this matter lightly." This chapter has been completed!
