Chapter 104: The top scholar has fallen!
Seeing Jin Baobao’s angry look, Yu Shengsheng knew that if she let him go, he would definitely take action.
The parade of the top scholar was a major event that shocked the whole city. She didn't care whether Qi Mubai's plan went smoothly, but she had to consider Jin Baobao and not let her be in danger.
"No, you can't go out," Yu Shengsheng held Jin Baobao, "Stay here with me."
Jin Baobao had no choice but to nod.
Shopkeeper Song served tea and snacks: "Miss Yu, please enjoy your meal."
"Thank you very much."
Yu Shengsheng's seat was right next to the window. The sounds of gongs and firecrackers mixed with the voices of people, making the place extremely lively and noisy.
"The number one scholar is here!"
Qi Mubai wore a top scholar robe and a top scholar hat with flowers on both sides. He had long and handsome eyebrows, fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and a cheerful face.
"The number one scholar is really a handsome man."
"She is good-looking and well-educated, but I wonder if she is married."
"Haven't you heard? The Emperor has already granted him a marriage with Princess Rongyang. He personally asked for it."
"As the saying goes, on the wedding night and on the day of passing the imperial examination, he got both at once. How enviable!"
"It's just an imperial decree to grant the marriage, not the bridal chamber yet."
"That's a great joy and a wonderful thing!"
Passersby talked loudly and expressed envy.
The team surged forward and passed by the window.
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes and didn't look at Qi Mubai who was passing by the window.
Golden Leopard spat fiercely.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Get out of the way! The horse is frightened!"
Passersby were startled and the crowd quickly parted. Just as they were trying to see what had startled the horse, Qi Mubai's horse suddenly neighed and galloped forward like crazy.
Fortunately, the passers-by dodged in time, otherwise several people would have been injured.
Everything happened so quickly. Qi Mubai was still riding his horse in high spirits the moment before, but the next moment he turned pale, clutching the reins tightly, looking in a miserable state.
He wasn't very good at riding, and he picked the most docile horse today. Who would have thought...
Jin Baobao's eyes widened, and he patted the window happily: "Miss, come on, look!"
"That bastard's horse was startled. It was so funny!"
Yu Shengsheng heard the sound and looked over, and sure enough, she saw Qi Mubai lying on the horse's back in fear, without any trace of grace.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
Shopkeeper Song glanced at her and then looked away - the commander-in-chief's order was not in vain, and the brothers' hard work was not in vain.
The number one scholar's horse was frightened, and the people who were with him were also startled and hurried to chase after it, but the horse ran so fast that they could not catch up in a while.
Just then, two people came over. Seeing this, they stepped forward and restrained the horse. The horse neighed and raised its front hooves. Qi Mubai could no longer hold on and was thrown down.
The man who subdued the horse took a glance, exerted a little force with his hands, adjusted the direction, and pulled down. The horse's front hooves fell, and one of them landed on Qi Mubai's arm.
“Crack.”
The sound of breaking bones was insignificant amid the noise.
Qi Mubai cried out in pain, and everything in front of his eyes went dark.
The people behind finally caught up and hurriedly helped Qi Mubai up. Then they turned around to look at the person who subdued the horse and were shocked.
Red Dragon Guard!
"Thank you very much, both of you."
"How can something go wrong with this kind of job? Deal with it quickly!"
"Yes, yes."
What else can we do? The top scholar has broken bones, so we need to get medical treatment quickly.
It was a rare parade of the top scholar, and an even rarer scene occurred - the horse was startled, he fell off the horse, and he ended up in a clinic halfway through the parade.
Yu Shengsheng let out a long sigh, sneered silently and looked away.
Jin Baobao clapped his hands until they turned red. "That's great! God has a good eye. This bastard deserves this fate. No, it should be even worse."
Shopkeeper Song came over to add hot tea and said, "Miss Yu, do you have anyone around you who has superb skills like you?"
"Am I working too slowly?"
"No, of course not. You have good skills and are fast. We are going to open a branch in Jiangnan, and we need someone with good skills like you."
Yu Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat: "Jiangnan?"
"That's right. Jiangnan is a wealthy place with many merchants and people who love antiques. If Miss Yu has a suitable candidate, please help introduce one or two if it's convenient."
"Don't worry, if you go to Jiangnan, we will cover all your food and accommodation, seven taels of silver per month. If you do any work, we will charge you more."
Yu Shengsheng quickly came up with a plan in his mind: "Boss, if we find the person, when can we go?"
"Any time," said Shopkeeper Song, "our people have already gone there to prepare."
Yu Shengsheng stood up: "Okay, Shopkeeper Song, I will definitely help you find the right person. I will give you an answer in three days."
"It's a deal. Thank you Miss Yu in advance."
Yu Shengsheng took Jin Baobao away, and Shopkeeper Song turned and went upstairs.
"I told her, Commander-in-Chief. She must be interested. She told me to give her an answer in three days."
Hao Mengye looked out the window and saw Yu Shengsheng's carriage leaving.
I can only help her get here. Whether she can escape from the Su family and leave the capital depends on her ability.
The commander is still in Nanshun. The Su family pushed Yu Shengsheng out and wanted to gain merit by using a woman. What's the point of the commander risking his life?
This credit must not fall into the hands of the Su family no matter what. If they want it, he will help Yu Shengsheng leave.
Yu Shengsheng sat in the carriage and quickly perfected the plan that had just come up: go back and test the Su family, find out where Grandma Wu is now, meet her secretly, and agree on a time to escape from the Su family together.
Then ask Baobao for help and go to the academy to steal Grandma Wu’s grandson.
Far away to Jiangnan.
After that, he changed his identity and lived a quiet life.
According to the conditions offered by Manager Song, it is not difficult to survive. Even if there are difficulties, she firmly believes that she can solve them.
What she had experienced over the past year was far more terrible than poverty.
When I returned to the Su Mansion and was about to go back to the courtyard, I ran into Mrs. Su.
"Shengsheng, you're back. I went to your yard to look for you just now, but you weren't there."
Mrs. Su asked tentatively: "Where did you go?"
"Going to the street, madam, what's the matter?"
"Nothing much," Madam Su took a bundle from the maid behind her, "It's almost the season, so I'll make you two autumn clothes."
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes and took it: "I'll go back and try."
Mrs. Su was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, if there is anything inappropriate, just tell me."
Yu Shengsheng asked casually, "Where's Grandma Wu? Let her do the mending for me. She was the one who helped me with the mending when I was in the countryside."
"You are a grown-up girl now. Your mother is right beside you. You don't need anyone else. Your mother will correct it for you herself."
Yu Shengsheng felt a little depressed when she heard her evading the main issue. Could it be that something had happened to Grandma Wu?
"Madam, can I meet Grandma Wu? You promised me before, did you forget?"
Madam Su looked away: "I..."
"You don't have to ask. The old slave is in my hands."
Yu Shengsheng turned around with a calm and cold gaze, and Su Huaishan walked towards her slowly.
"General Su, what do you mean by that?"
"That's exactly what I meant. Yu Shengsheng, you've been disobedient and made me unhappy so many times. Can't I find someone to vent my anger on?"
Yu Shengsheng's eyes were filled with anger: "What did you do to her?"
Su Huaishan sneered: "Are you angry? That's useless. I won't give you the person."
