I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 542 The reason
Jiao Lianping and Qiu Huaixin had a quarrel at the gate of Qiu's courtyard, Zhan Feiyu Quan pretended not to know about it, put the place for receiving guests in the front hall, and simply received them together.

"You are very well informed." Qiu Huaixin didn't want to see Jiao Lianping, but he only taunted him a few times, not violently.

This is the other courtyard of the Qiu family. On the surface, Zhan Feiyu is served by He Nuan, a maidservant. The rest of the work of serving tea, delivering water, cleaning and laundry is done by the maids of the Qiu mansion, so Qiu Huaixin knows Zhan Feiyu. Was horrified.

"Everyone, each other." Jiao Lianping snorted coldly with his chin raised, and strode inside with a lift of his clothes. Zhan Feiyu also gave him medicine, and let the forbidden dragon guard take away Chen's family. Now she has suffered a crime. , even if my father didn't ask me to come.

It's not surprising that Jiao Lianping would know the news. He Nuan opened an order and sent someone to the pharmacy to buy a large amount of medicinal materials. As long as you ask a doctor who is proficient in medical skills, you will know that these medicinal materials are used to prepare medicinal powder for repelling insects and snakes.

After half an hour.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu who stood at the door to welcome her, the little girl looked very good, with healthy pink on her fair and delicate cheeks, picturesque eyebrows, and a smile like stars in her eyes, she didn't look like she was overly frightened.

"The two of you, please." Zhan Feiyu smiled and beckoned the two of them to enter the room.

He Nuan led someone to receive the gift list and the gifts from the servants of the Qiu Mansion and Jiao Mansion.

As soon as you enter the house, you can feel the coolness on your face, and the lingering fragrance of plum blossoms makes you feel like you have entered the winter.

Qiu Huaixin and Jiao Lianping looked up, and there were three-foot-high gold-plated bronze auspicious animal ice mirrors placed in the four corners of the room, and inside were pieces of ice that were emitting white gas. No wonder the room was so cool.

Zhan Feiyu is really happy these days!Both Qiu Huaixin and Jiao Lianping felt a little jealous.

Even though they are both officials' families, Master Qiu and Zhifu Jiao are not people who value enjoyment, and they teach the juniors strictly on weekdays, so although there is no shortage of ice in the mansion, most of the ice is sent to the backyard for use by the female relatives.

Qiu Huaixin they also have a lot of ice in summer, only two small buckets per day, one bucket is reserved for sleeping at night, and the other bucket is for reading or entertaining guests during the day, in order to save money when they study in summer , hospitality, board members, and meals are all in the study.

In contrast, this huge front hall has used their ice cubes for at least two days, so it's hard to think it won't be sour.

"My father has ordered the police to go to Xiang's house quickly to arrest all the people involved in the case, but a few people from the Li nationality escaped early, and the government has issued wanted documents."

After Jiao Lianping briefly explained the case, he looked sympathetically at Zhan Feiyu, who was in the chair, "Mrs. Xiang didn't flee in fear of crime. I heard that Xiang Changshou has vented more gas than breathed in. It's just a few days ago."

It was precisely because Xiang Changshou was about to die that Mrs. Xiang went crazy and asked her clansmen to assassinate Zhan Feiyu to avenge her son. Unfortunately, this trip not only harmed the Xiang family, but also the Li clan.

Qiu Huaixin, who was holding a teacup, sneered, "Miss Zhan, this is an unwarranted disaster. Miss Zhan has suffered on behalf of others."

Although the marriage between Qiu Jingyuan and Xiang Changshou had not been arranged before, it was still a matter of certainty. Who would have thought that the Jiao Mansion would interfere and make an appointment for Qiu Jingyuan to Jiao Lianyu.

For the third family of the Qiu family, whether it is the ulterior aunt Xu, or Qiu Jingyuan's mother Dou, Jiao Lianyu is far better than Xiang Changshou, who is sick.

Not to mention that the Jiao family is a family of officials, and Jiao Lianyu will also be admitted to the imperial examination in the future. Qiu Jingyuan married into the Jiao family as the daughter of a criminal minister, which is definitely the blessing of the ancestors of the third room.

"Third son, there is no need to insinuate, point fingers and scold Huai! My mother never interfered with Jiao Lianyu's affairs before, and she will never interfere in the future. The reason why this marriage can be accomplished is because of Jiao Lianyu's own consent!" Jiao Lianping said with a cold face, his eyes were inexplicably gloomy.

When he was young, Jiao Lianping watched Jiao Zhifu praise Jiao Lianyu, the concubine's younger brother, and had dark thoughts that he was the eldest son of Jiaofu's legitimate son!

What kind of thing is Jiao Lianyu? Aunt Huang, a humble seed born of a concubine who can't get on the stage, dares to compete with herself!
But Mrs. Jiao stopped Jiao Lianping before he could make a move. Although Jiao Lianping still disliked Jiao Lianyu later, he didn't bother to make him an enemy.

Zhan Feiyu was also interested when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "I wonder if the eldest son can explain the confusion?"

Seeing Zhan Feiyu's eyes widen slightly, curious but not suspicious, Jiao Lianping immediately felt relieved, and said in a loud voice: "Before the accident happened to the third wife of the Qiu family, Jiao Lianyu did have some thoughts."

After a pause, Jiao Lianping glanced at Qiu Huaixin like an idiot. Unfortunately, Qiu Jingyuan was too young, and she was too different from Jiao Lianyu. He was born with this idea but it didn't work well. Later, the third family member of the Qiu family was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason. It's over.

With a slap, he put the teacup heavily on the table, Qiu Huaixin's face was ashen, and his eyes rolled with anger, "Jiao Lianping, don't spoil Guizhang's reputation by talking nonsense!"

"Second Young Master Jiao is already a weak crown but has not yet settled on a marriage. It's really suspicious." The clear and small voice sounded, and Zhan Feiyu was not surprised to receive Qiu Huaixin's glare.

A loud laugh sounded, and Jiao Lianping was in a happy mood, "It is said that Miss Zhan is extremely intelligent, and she is convinced now! Jiao Lianyu has not settled on the marriage for a long time. Firstly, it is to tarnish my mother's reputation, and secondly, it is naturally up for grabs. !"

The Jiao family is a family of officials, but the prefect of Jiao is only a fourth-rank official. Jiao Lianyu has a good reputation, but before that, he was suppressed by Qiu Jinyu, a junior.

Coupled with the fact that he is the concubine son of his aunt, even if he is talented, a well-behaved family would never marry his concubine daughter to Jiao Lianyu.

As for those families who wanted to cling to the magistrate Jiao, or who were interested in Jiao Lianyu, their family backgrounds were mediocre. Mrs. Jiao once analyzed Jiao Lianping, and he was hesitant to get married, probably because he waited for the provincial examination in the future to make plans.

As for Qiu Jingyuan is indeed the best choice, there is only one girl in Qiu Huaixin's generation. Although Qiu Jingyuan is a third-bedroom girl, she is loved and has a high status.

In addition, the three families of the Qiu family were in a good situation back then, and Qiu Jingyuan and Qiu Jinyu, the elder brother who was known as a prodigy, if they could marry Qiu Jingyuan, Jiao Lianyu would definitely have a smooth official career, not to mention being named a marquis or a prime minister in the future.

"Nonsense!" Qiu Huaixin retorted again.

Thinking of Jiao Lianyu's wry smile and helplessness when talking about the marriage that day, Qiu Huaixin said in a deep voice: "Although Guizhang always said that he is a concubine and his marriage has always been in the hands of Mrs. Jiao, Mrs. Jiao will not let go. How could it be possible to make a marriage?"

"Third son, do you think my father's dignified fourth-rank magistrate is just a show?" Jiao Lianping went back unceremoniously, looked at Qiu Huaixin whose expression changed, and sneered again: "If the Jiaofu is my mother's dignified, do you think Jiao Lianyu can still do it?" Go to the imperial examination? Can he, a bastard, suppress me and become famous?"

Ignoring Qiu Huaixin, Jiao Lianping explained to Zhan Feiyu: "After the order from the abbot of Changhua Temple to Qiu Jingyuan came out, I even mocked Jiao Lianyu. Who knew that the second day after Jiao Lianyu was assassinated, rumors suddenly spread in the mansion. Said that mother wanted to make a marriage for him."

Afterwards, the rumor got out of control. If it was only in the Jiao Mansion, Mrs. Jiao could still control it, but it spread all over the streets and alleys of Qianzhong Mansion. After all, Mrs. Jiao is a female family member of the back house, and her hands cannot reach outside .

Afterwards, several noble ladies who had good friends with Mrs. Jiao came to Jiao's mansion under the pretext of visiting Jiao Lianyu, and also asked Mrs. Jiao about the rumor, after all, there was a lot of rumors outside.

It is said that Mrs. Jiao's heart is kind. This time, Jiao Lianyu was injured and almost died. The magistrate Jiao was very worried. Aunt Huang's biological mother was also frightened and terrified. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, at least leave a bloodline.

Coupled with Jiao Lianyu's serious injury this time, Qiu Jingyuan's precious fate was brought up again. Mrs. Jiao also wanted to let Qiu Jingyuan's prosperous husband order to protect Jiao Lianyu, so she ignored the prefect's opposition and sent an official media to the Qiu family to propose marriage. The token and Geng Tie were exchanged in a deceitful manner, and the marriage was settled.

Jiao Lianping drank half a cup of tea to moisten his throat, looked at the thoughtful Qiu Huaixin, and then continued: "Jiao Lianyu manipulated this matter, my mother just took advantage of the trend, and my father wanted to stop it afterwards." But Jiao Lianyu knelt down and begged his father to answer."

The Geng posts have been changed. If one regrets the marriage, Qiu Jingyuan will be the first to be hurt; the second is Mrs. Jiao, the aunt. Outsiders will only speculate that Mrs. Jiao deliberately ordered the daughter of a criminal minister for him in order to control the concubine.

Jiao Lianyu knelt down with injuries.The prefect Jiao was considerate of his second son's benevolence, and the man cultivated himself, governed his family, governed the country and the world, relying on his talent and knowledge rather than his wife's family, that's why the prefect Jiao agreed to the marriage.
