Qiao Yuyan did not tell everything about Aunt Pei's embezzlement of money from Mo Mansion.
She is the only one who knows about her hatred towards the Pei family and her daughter. It would be a bit too specific to ask Qiao Yurong to know about it at this time. If asked, she would have nothing to say.
Therefore, Qiao Yuyan only said that there was something wrong with the account books sent by three shopkeepers, but they were old people who had been using them at home for a long time. They had a bad attack for a while and needed an excuse.
The fact that there are two prosperous shops in the second room was originally hidden from the Yao family, but the second wife of the Yao family came to the door some time ago. The second wife's temperament was softer than the eldest wife. She only said that she wanted to borrow money, and
When it comes to the Yao family's way of making money, they clearly mention those two shops.
They didn't know where they learned about it, which made Qiao Yurong nervous for a while, fearing that they would get the idea.
Unexpectedly, it became quiet during this period of time.
After hearing Qiao Yuyan's words, she thought for a while and said: "It's not that there is nothing we can do, but we still need a comprehensive plan. I'll think about it carefully and get rid of that family's idea at once."
The two sisters discussed it for a while and came up with a preliminary plan, but it was not perfect yet and needed to wait for a good time.
Qiao Yuyan is not in a hurry, and the more important thing in these two days is the release of the results in Qiu Wei.
She was naturally concerned about Wen Tingyuan's performance. According to her opinion, her Uncle Wen was better than others, so he should naturally be on the list.
But her reason also told her that the imperial examination was not a simple matter. There were many scholars all over the country, but only a few could pass the exam, and those who passed the exam in one go were even rarer. So she thought about how to comfort him later.
When the day came for the announcement of the results, Qiao Yuyan went out early. She was so focused on rushing out that she remembered halfway through that she had dressed inappropriately when going out today. If someone recognized her, she would be afraid of another incident, so she went to look for her nearby.
We stayed at an inn and asked Qixi to go to a clothing store and buy a set of ordinary clothes.
While changing clothes, he said that it would be best to change the carriage to another one. I am afraid that many high-ranking officials and nobles will visit this stall. Those scholarly families always have their own children taking the exam, and there are probably many of them.
Familiar people.
As he was speaking, he glanced out of the window, and a familiar figure flashed across the corner of Qiao Yuyan's eyes.
"Is that the third sister?"
Following Qiao Yuyan's gaze, Shiye stood up immediately, frowned at the window for a while, and nodded cautiously, "It seems so."
"That's not our carriage!" Qiao Yuyan said with a frown.
After having been in charge of the family for so long, Qiao Yuyan knew what kind of horses and carriages were in the carriage house.
Perhaps because of the hot weather, the carriage that passed downstairs just now did not lower its curtains, which allowed Qiao Yuyan to see Qiao Yurong inside.
This was not the Qiao family's carriage, but Qiao Yurong was sitting in it. The most important thing was that there was a man sitting opposite her. His face could not be seen, but he could tell that he was an adult.
What was Qiao Yurong doing today? And who was that person?
Qiao Yuyan was anxious, so she hurried downstairs and chased her to the door. She could still see the shadow of the carriage, and she immediately frowned.
Although my cousin is a bit outgoing, she is by no means a person who does not understand the rules. Men and women avoid seats at the age of seven. How could she ride in a carriage alone with an adult man like this?
Qiao Yuyan immediately thought of Zhang Lun. Although that guy had no chance of causing trouble now, who knew if there were other bad guys in the capital.
But then she shook her head again, feeling that she was making a fuss.
Qiao Yurong is not a child. If she goes out, how could she not have two maids with her? How could she...
Even though I thought so, I was still worried in my heart.
Shiye could tell what she was thinking at a glance, "Girl, you go and see the list, and I'll go after it."
Qiao Yuyan was thinking about Qiao Yurong, so how could she feel relieved? After thinking about it, she shook her head.
Shi Ye was unceremonious, "I have the skills to go there alone. It will be faster than you riding a carriage anyway. And if there is anything wrong, I and the three girls can get away alone. But if we go together,
I’m afraid I don’t have that ability anymore.”
What she said made sense. No matter how nervous she was, Qiao Yuyan knew the importance of it, so she held her hand and said, "You have to be careful yourself."
After thinking about it for a while, he still felt uneasy and said: "I'll go home immediately. If nothing happens, it's best. If something happens, you'd better ask someone for help."
Shi Ye hesitated and said: "Then release the list..."
"Although I want to know whether Uncle Wen is shortlisted, the list is dead. It's not like I won't reveal the list if I don't go. Just send someone to look at it and tell me later."
After hearing this, Shi Ye stopped talking, immediately went downstairs, grabbed a horse, and flew away.
When Qiao Yuyan saw her riding a horse in the busy city, she felt nervous in her heart. If this was captured by the people of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, it would also be a crime.
Fortunately, the leaf-picking horsemanship was good, so it didn't cause any panic, and it quickly disappeared from sight.
"We also set off quickly. Although we don't know what is going on, there is nothing wrong with being on the safe side. Let's mobilize the manpower first."
While talking, Qiao Yuyan told Qixi what to do after returning home later.
After all, carriages are not as light as riding horses, especially now that people are crowding to go to the Gongyuan to see the results, and pedestrians and carriages are in a mess.
As the time approached the time for the announcement of the results, more and more people came here. After turning two streets, less than half an hour had passed.
Seeing the crowded carriages in front of them, filled with all kinds of people inquiring about test results, Qiao Yuyan became more and more anxious, "Forget it, why don't I get out of the car and run back!"
Immediately, he took the top of the fence and jumped out of the carriage. Qixi had no choice but to stumble to follow.
I don’t know if I didn’t plan well before and didn’t mark the area where the carriages should be parked. At this moment, there were more than ten or twenty carriages parked where Qiao Yuyan passed by. Qiao Yuyan took advantage of her power fence and no one looked at it.
He came out, exerted all his strength, moved left and right, and soon squeezed out of the crowd.
After only running two steps, he suddenly saw Qiao Yurong's girl Zhuo'er stumbling over. She saw a look of surprise and joy on Qiao Yuyan's face, "Big girl!"
"Zhui'er?" Qiao Yuyan was even more surprised when he saw her, "Why are you here? Where are you girls?"
"Our girl was originally going to the bamboo shop, but she unexpectedly met someone from the Yao family. They only said that our girl was hiding a traitor in her heart and did not care about the life or death of our grandfather's family. They had a big quarrel with us and she didn't want to be with them.
I lost my decency on the street, so I got into their carriage and went somewhere else."
"Where have we gone? Why didn't I bring you with me?! Why do we have to go somewhere else to talk? Isn't there a place where we can talk in the teahouses and restaurants around here?" Qiao Yuyan thought this sounded a bit strange.
He couldn't help but ask doubtfully. This chapter has been completed!
