"There were a lot of people coming and going in the house today. I was stopped several times. I was afraid that the letter would be discovered, so I threw it into the stove and burned it."
While he was talking, people had already left the pavilion.
Qiao Yuning felt something was wrong in her heart, but it was impossible to pursue her again. Otherwise, wouldn't it make people think that there was a relationship between her and the little girl?
I just have to be patient with this.
Chenxing on the side quickly comforted her and said: "She is a little girl, illiterate, and she did this for a little money. Now she doesn't even want the money. Apparently she really hasn't found it and is afraid of causing trouble. She said
If it's burned, then there's a high probability that it's really burned, so girls don't have to worry about it all the time."
Qiao Yuning thought for a while and felt that what she said made sense, so she nodded, sat down again, and let her rub her knees.
Suddenly, she heard a deliberately lowered but unusual sound from the crowd. Qiao Yuning turned her head and saw a beautifully decorated boat rowing leisurely across the lake.
The people sitting on the boat were all the young elites who often appeared at banquets in Beijing. Some of them were playing chess, some were drinking tea, and some were chatting. There was also a person at the stern of the boat who was playing the flute and another person on the side was playing the piano.
Congruent.
In Beijing, whenever there is such a banquet, there will more or less be some families with young men and women of the right age who come with the purpose of seeing each other.
This is something that everyone understands tacitly, but it is not too obvious. If there is a suitable person, it can be considered a good thing.
Of course, rules still need to be observed. For example, today, there are many people who give the Wen family this honor, and there are also a large number of young men and women. The seats of these young girls and sons are very far apart.
This huge garden was used as a place to entertain girls, and young gentlemen were not allowed to come.
Today, the Wen family did not arrange boating activities for these girls. Now it seems that they gave the lake to the young master.
In this way, when the young men passed by the lake and the girls caught a glimpse of them from a distance, it was not considered rude at all.
The pavilion where Qiao Yuning is located is on the edge of the lake, and she can see it more clearly than others.
She subconsciously looked for Wen Liang's figure, but unfortunately the boat was moving too fast, and there were many people on it. She spent a lot of effort, but she couldn't be sure whether the person she just flashed past was Wen Liang.
"Morning Star, have you seen the Fourth Young Master?"
How could Chenxing not know what was going on in her girl's mind? As soon as the boat came over, she, like Qiao Yuning, stared at everyone on the boat carefully.
"I'm not sure, but there was someone sitting inside just now, talking to the young master beside me. His face was turned sideways, but the style and color of his clothes were very similar to what I saw today."
"That's it!" Qiao Yuning immediately affirmed that if one person can see wrongly, can two people with four eyes still see wrongly?
Just as the banquet was about to start, she didn't get any news about Wen Liang at all. The original plan was never implemented.
She saw that Princess Jiahe seemed to be talking to Qiao Yuyan over there, but her attitude was completely different from hers. Wasn't it because Qiao Yuyan now had a good future?
Then she will ruin her future!
"Let's go!" As soon as Qiao Yuning stood up, she felt severe pain in her legs. She stood holding on to the pillars of the pavilion for a while before she managed to recover.
Chenxing stood up at the beginning and kneaded her for a long time, not caring about himself at all. At this moment, he didn't feel that strong.
Seeing this, he quickly supported her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I have to meet the fourth young master, otherwise after today, I will never have another chance!" She pointed to a secluded place in the distance, "Their ship has gone over there, and they must tie the mooring there. We
Just go there and wait."
Chenxing took a closer look, how could he walk such a long way?
But Qiao Yuning clearly made up her mind, so she didn't dare to dissuade her, so she could only nod, "Girl, please be patient."
"Are you blind? You're about to miss it, and you're telling me to slow down!" Qiao Yuning was filled with anger, and she was anxious to catch up with Wen Liang. There was no good color on her face.
It made her show all her tenacity, and she didn't even care about the pain in her legs, and walked over there quickly.
Some people noticed the departure of their master and servant, but no one stepped forward to ask.
After all, this is reasonable. No matter how strong-minded a person is, if he loses such a big face in front of everyone, he would like to hide away immediately.
Qiao Yuyan only glanced at her and stopped paying attention.
She believed in Wen Tingyuan. Since he told her to stay where she was, nothing would happen to her.
Song Yuwei, on the other hand, sneered, "This Princess Jiahe wants to be famous for being favored and domineering. In my opinion, she is actually quite shrewd."
Qiao Yuyan thought for a moment and then understood, "No, that's not it. They punished the incompetent one in my family, and here they came to express their goodwill to me in front of everyone. While appeasing my family, they also showed off to others, and also
By the way, she stepped on my second younger sister again, proving that she was not targeting my family, but my younger sister alone."
Song Yuwei shook her head gently, "Let me tell you a heart-to-heart. If you can avoid offending this person in the future, try not to offend him. After all, he has a transcendent status, so he really has to resort to tricks..."
She didn't say the next words. Qiao Yuyan understood that it was difficult for her to say it, so she bowed solemnly and said, "Sister's heartfelt words today, Yan'er will bear them in mind."
"Why is this necessary?" Song Yuwei quickly pulled her up and said with a smile, "My grandmother will never see the wrong person. She even praises you. It shows that you are worthy of a close friendship, so I don't need to avoid it."
At this point, the two of them have truly become somewhat of a confidant, and they no longer need to be as careful about what they say as before.
Qiao Yuyan then asked Yuan Xueqing, "I saw her at your wedding banquet that day. She seemed to be a talkative person. Is she related to your family?"
Song Yuwei laughed when she heard this, "In Tongjing City, if you pick up two families at random, they will always be related to each other through various twists and turns, and you will see how far they will go."
This means that Yuan Xueqing does not have a deep relationship with their family.
Seeing her thoughtful look, Song Yuwei came over and said, "Since we have hit it off, I'm not afraid to tell you."
She thought for a while, then leaned over and whispered something in Qiao Yuyan's ear.
Qiao Yuyan had a thoughtful expression on her face, and when she looked at the girl from the Song family, she didn't have much joy on her face.
"You don't like her?"
"If you are too shrewd, you will not be free to get along with someone."
