I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 517
"What?" Zhan Feiyu put down his pen, and looked at He Sheng who reported the news in surprise, "The letter was delivered late?"

I was worried that Jiao Lianping and the others would be blamed by the elders in the family when they returned, so Zhan Feiyu wrote a letter for He Sheng to deliver and prepared a small gift as a thank you to Jiao Lianping and the others for their hospitality. of silver.

Furthermore, no matter how rich Jiao Lianping and his group are, they are the sons of officials after all, how could they bring a young man to meet Zhan Feiyu? No matter it was a coincidence or someone planned secretly, Jiao Lianping and the others were indeed innocent.

The Forbidden Dragon Guards were well informed, even if the Jiao Mansion incident happened within half an hour, the cause and effect have been found out.

"The letter was delivered, but it was intercepted by the Jiao family." He Sheng was not surprised that Jiao Lianyu, the second son, had such means and skills. After all, the entire Guizhou government knew that Jiao Zhifu intended to train Jiao Lianyu, and he was already Jiao Lianyu. As the future heir of the family, it is normal for the servants of the mansion to be bribed by him.

"Ah Nuan, do we still have the ointment for removing scars here?" Zhan Feiyu stood up, no matter what, Jiao Lianping's disaster was unwarranted, especially if there was a scar on his face, it would be tantamount to the end of his official career.

"There is still one bottle of the previous Yu Ning Ointment left." He Nuan opened the medicine box to look for it. The lady had been injured several times before, especially the time in Huai'an Mansion when she was bitten by a fine dog. The ointment that came, the wound will definitely leave a scar.

"Prepare some more medicinal materials and let's go to Jiao's mansion." Zhan Feiyu really looked down on Jiao Lianping's "killing" of Zhao's pastry shop before.

Zhenweixuan relies on the Jiao Mansion. Without this background, how can Zhenweixuan monopolize the pastry business in Qianzhong Road.

But in the end, He Sheng went to investigate. Although Jiao Lianping was suspected of bullying, whether it was Huang Baocai's death or the subsequent silence of Tu Daniu's family of three, it was the old man whose identity has not been identified so far who did it secretly.

In addition, Jiao Lianping bought the noodle recipe, and in the future Zhenweixuan will sell the noodle at the cost price to the army. For this reason, Zhan Feiyu will go there today.

……

Two quarters later.

Zhan Feiyu's carriage hadn't arrived at Jiao's residence, but Mrs. Jiao had already screened Jiao's house, and the servants who were found to have problems were all standing in the house at the moment, and outside the door was a nursing home waiting in full force.

"Ma'am, why bother to mobilize people!" Jiao Zhifu's face was ugly, it was a troubled time, but Jiao's family was restless, which made Jiao Zhifu feel tired, and it was Fa's wife who gave the order.

"Master, are you afraid that the results of the investigation will disappoint you?" Mrs. Jiao said with a smile, her face was gentle, at first glance she looked like an old couple chatting, but there was unabashed mockery and disdain in those eyes.

The prefect Jiao knew that Mrs. Jiao was alluding to the concubine son, and thought that he deliberately sent the news to himself, and then instigated himself to attack the eldest son, but the prefect Jiao had already explained it three times, and Mrs. Jiao listened to and believed it, which made the prefect Jiao feel a little bit worried. Disappointed.

Looking coldly at the magistrate Jiao who had nothing to say, Mrs. Jiao's heart became colder. It is because of the master's preference these years that Ping'er has become more and more paranoid, and he and the master are in conflict, just like Jiao Lianyu's calculation.

Mammy Niu walked in quickly from the door, bowed and saluted, "Ma'am, Aunt Huang is here."

Mrs. Jiao snorted coldly, and glanced at Zhifu Jiao who was sitting aside with a cold face, "Since you are here, let Aunt Huang come in, after all, Lianyu is also her son."

Except for the servants who were found out in the room, the rest of the servants were standing under the corridor waiting, and a nun and two maidservants who came with Aunt Huang were also left outside at this moment.

Different from Mrs. Jiao's old-fashioned makeup, Aunt Huang is over forty years old, but she is well maintained. The clothes are also the underskirts that young women like to wear nowadays. They are tied around the willow waist and put on a horse bun. The headdress is just the simplest jade hairpin. Son, the whole person looks refreshing but elegant.

"Greetings, Master and Madam." A soft voice sounded, and Aunt Huang politely saluted Zhifu Jiao and Mrs. Jiao, who were sitting in the main seats, without even looking at her son standing beside her.

Compared with the stubborn wife, and seeing the concubine who only has gentle and submissive eyes, Zhifu Jiao's heart is subconsciously biased, especially when they have Jiao Lianyu, a talented son.

"Since Aunt Huang is here, stand over and listen." Mrs. Jiao took a sip of tea from her teacup. Thinking of her son who was pumped like a bloody man, and looking at Aunt Huang's mother and son who harbored evil intentions, Mrs. Jiao's eyes were cold. It's like quenching poison.

In the house, Mrs. Jiao began to interrogate the servants, and in the front yard, Zhan Feiyu's carriage had just stopped at the gate of Jiao's mansion, when it was stopped by the gatekeeper.

"It's inconvenient to receive guests in the mansion today. If Miss has nothing important to do, please come back another day." The servant apologized and apologized, thinking that Zhan Feiyu was the daughter of a family in Qianzhong Mansion, and he came to pay a visit to the magistrate's wife. It's just that Steward Niu confessed that he will never see any customers today.

He Nuan got out of the carriage, and handed over the name card in his hand, "Please inform me, my lady is visiting Jiao Zhifu."

Uh……

The servant was stunned for a moment, and then accepted the invitation card. If it is a matter of the back house to visit the wife, it is okay to refuse, but to visit the master?

"My lord, please wait a moment. I'll go pass it on right now." The servant glanced at the carriage in surprise, and then hurried inside with the name card.

After a while, Steward Niu respectfully welcomed Zhan Feiyu in, and hurriedly apologized, "There are some miscellaneous things in the house, please wait for Miss Zhan."

But when he thought that all the servants in the mansion were gathered in the front yard to listen to the training, and there was not even a maid to lead the way and deliver tea, Steward Niu suddenly had a headache. pay a visit to.

Zhan Feiyu knew what Jiao Zhifu was dealing with without asking, "I heard that the eldest son was injured, so I brought some medicinal materials and asked the housekeeper to show me the way. I will visit the eldest son first."

This is also when Zhan Feiyu is young, and Jiao Lianyu's children have all started to study, otherwise it would be really inconvenient for her as a little girl to visit her family.

The butler secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since his mother-in-law is the wife's dowry maid, so he is on the side of the eldest son.

Now that the master in the mansion is in charge, if the second son inherits the family business in the future, Steward Niu can figure out what will happen to his family with his toes. At least he will be kicked out of the mansion, and at worst he will be charged with an unwarranted crime and beaten up. After being half dead, he was thrown into a prison.

"Miss, this way please, the doctor has already looked at it. Fortunately, it is only a flesh wound. The eldest lady is taking care of the eldest son..." Steward Niu led the way, and also briefly talked about Jiao Lianping's situation. Miss Zhan is the master's distinguished guest. If you have a good relationship with the eldest son, it is not certain who will take over in this mansion in the future.

As soon as they arrived at the second gate, Zhan Feiyu bumped into Jiao Lianping and his party.

"Miss Zhan?" Jiao Lianping, who was supported by Mrs. Chen, was stunned for a moment. Under the bright sun, he was already in pain, so his eyes were dazzled. Otherwise, how could he have seen Zhan Feiyu at Jiao's house.

Zhan Feiyu looked at Jiao Lianping, who couldn't even stand still. Although he couldn't see the whip wounds after changing his clothes, the scar on his cheek from the brow bone to the jaw was clearly visible. You can still see blood after taking the medicine. If the recovery is not good, it may really leave scars.

"Sister?" Chen couldn't help but ask, but fortunately Zhan Feiyu looked young, with a pair of buns, snow-white skin, black round eyes, no matter how you look at it, she is a childish little girl. Being ten years older, Mrs. Chen probably doubted her relationship with Jiao Lianping.

Ignoring Mrs. Chen's words, Jiao Lianping pushed her away and staggered two steps forward, and saluted with pain, "I made Miss Zhan laugh."

"Young Master, you are serious. I am responsible for what happened today." Zhan Feiyu saluted, but took two steps and said a word. Jiao Lianping couldn't stand still. Unexpectedly, the prefect Jiao made a move. so ruthless.

Steward Niu also saw that Jiao Lianping was holding on, and quickly stepped forward to support him, "Young Master, be careful."

"It doesn't matter." Although his eyes were darkened from the pain, Jiao Lianping didn't care. Maybe it was the magistrate Jiao's whip that wiped out the last bit of admiration in his heart. At this moment, Jiao Lianping's arrogance of a nobleman faded away. I don't care if I am ashamed or not, "Father is in the front yard, Miss Zhan please."

Chen wrung the handkerchief with an ugly expression, knowing that Zhan Feiyu was young, but seeing Jiao Lianping's overly kind attitude towards Zhan Feiyu, Chen's heart couldn't help but ache.
