Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

When he stopped to rest and entered a roadside pavilion, the coachman whipped the carriage faster.

"Brother Ali, is it really you?"

The tender voice of a girl made Ye Li raise his head.

Then he saw a girl wearing emerald green silk.

Because it was cold, she folded her hands in rabbit fur gloves, and her arms were supported by a nanny and some maids of her age.

Her hair was covered with pearls and jade, her face was beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her skin was whiter than snow.

At this moment, she was looking at him with surprise with a pair of big, dark and bright eyes.

"Miss Yang, when did you come to the Imperial City?"

"Are you feeling better now? Do you still have nightmares at night?" Ye Li was at a loss, then stood up with a smile. As soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed that he was not from a noble family.

Unexpectedly, during this difficult period of decision-making, he actually met an old acquaintance and saw Miss Yang, whom he accidentally rescued in Lingnan.

There are many rules in the imperial city. If an ordinary lady from an official family heard his abrupt questions, she would probably just turn around and walk away.

However, with the help of the servants, Miss Yang sat down in front of Ye Li.

She brought a lot of servants with her, and each of them was holding a folding paper umbrella. They stood in a row of different heights, manually helping them to block the cold wind.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Ali. I'm in much better health than before, and I only have nightmares occasionally." Yang Yizhen replied with a sweet smile.

"My grandmother was ill, so I came to the Imperial City a few years ago. Fortunately, my grandmother was blessed by God and is now in good health. So I chose a day with few people to go to Baiyun Temple to burn incense. I didn't expect to meet you."

"Brother Ali, are you also a student coming to the Imperial City to take the exam this time?"

Her question left Ali at a loss for words.

As if she noticed his embarrassment, Yang Yizheng continued speaking.

"After parting in Lingnan, I didn't expect that we would meet again near the Imperial City. Where does Brother Ali want to go?"

Ye Li smiled bitterly and said, "I want to stay at Baiyun Temple for a few days."

He didn't notice that Yang Yizhen's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"I saw that Ali Ge was walking, so it's on his way, why don't we go together?"

After saying that, Yang Yizhen also felt that something was wrong, so she tried to make amends, "I'll let Brother Ali take the carriage at the back."

"That's annoying."

Since they were not alone in a room, Ye Li did not refuse.

Giving up the imperial examination had a great impact on him personally, and he really needed some quiet time alone.

After arriving at Baiyun Temple, he didn't even say goodbye to Yang Yizheng in person, and just left with his things.

"Second Miss, do you think Young Master Ye has encountered difficulties? Today is the day of the exam, and he is doing this?" Yang Yizhen's wet nurse Guan Mama asked.

Ye Li was carrying an exam bag. There were students from the imperial city everywhere, and everyone could recognize him.

As Yang Yizhen walked into the Taoist temple, he whispered, "It's enough for us to know about it. Let He Qingge find a place to stay and help out if we see anyone in need."

Guan Heqing is Guan Mama's son, and Yang Yiqing's older brother. He has a steady personality and is good at handling things. He is the one who basically handles Yang Yiqing's affairs outside on weekdays.

Mother Guan understood her daughter's thoughts best, so she quickly explained with a smile.

Baiyun Temple is the Taoist temple closest to the imperial city, and many people come here for short stays on weekdays.

Ye Cheng paid half a month's rent, chose a remote hill, changed into coarse linen clothes, began to clean the room, fetch water and chop firewood.

He bought his meals in the cafeteria on the first day, and from the second day onwards, he started cooking for himself.

Some people even had the leisure time to fish in the small river behind the mountain.

The five-day scientific examination passed in a flash, and Ye Laoer only found out on the second day after the exam that Ah Cheng was missing.

"What do you mean he's missing? Didn't I personally see him enter the examination room? Lao Hu, why didn't you call me when you didn't pick him up yesterday? Why are you telling me now?"

Ye Laoer got up early in the morning and had just finished his meal when he was about to go into the study to write down the answers, but then such a big thing happened, and he could hardly stand.

Butler Hu was sent directly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs when His Majesty bestowed the house. In addition to him, there were also many maids and servants.

In a normal big family, none of these people would be used. The Ministry of Internal Affairs belongs to His Majesty. No one wants to have no privacy about what they eat, say, and do at home.

But Ye Lao Er didn't know! How could he be willing to spend money to hire someone?

Although Butler Hu is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is not a confused person who cannot distinguish between priorities.

He took out two letters from his sleeve and handed them over, explaining with his head lowered.

"Yesterday, a beggar brought two letters before the end of the imperial examination. One is for you, and the other is for me."

Ye Li snatched the letter and started reading it. The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

Zhou Jingwen, who only saw a corner of the scene, looked unhappy.

"Has anyone corresponded with Ah Cheng during this period? Or, did he meet anyone before the exam?"

"Since ancient times, only education has brought higher attainments. Why does he insist that being a businessman is better?"

Zhou Jingwen was a person who was extremely careful about his reputation, but at this moment he couldn't help but speak.

"That's right, there's no need for the family to sacrifice him. And he hasn't even taken the exam, so how do you know he'll pass?" Ye Li also shouted.

Ye Laoer: Maybe it really can.

Your Majesty has given the mansion to all the servants, how could he not know that the three of them will take the exam? If he can't give them the top spot, he can just give them a lower ranking. With Ali's level, he really deserves the title.

"Brother Ali, you really didn't take part in the imperial examination?" Ye Zifeng still felt it was magical.

Being able to pass the examination and become a scholar is already a glory for the family. Now they have come to the imperial city to take the exam. The next step is the palace examination, which is the lifelong pursuit of many scholars.

Ye Li, he actually gave up just like that?

There was confusion in the young man's temperament, but more than that, there was admiration.

"Butler Hu, prepare the horses." After Ye Lao Er finished reading both letters, he gave the order without thinking.

"You guys stay at home, I'll go get the person back."

Zhou Jingwen: "The Imperial City is so big, where do you plan to start looking?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Lao Er glanced at him and said, "Don't I know what kind of personality my own nephew has?"

"Butler Hu, keep an eye on them. Don't let me find them and lose the others again."

Butler Hu's face was so ugly that he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, how many servants do you want? I'll call them for you right away."

"No, I'm enough on my own."

Ye Lao Er got on the carriage and did not forget to order, "Have someone prepare fast horses to follow. I will ride on horseback to catch the man after we get out of the city gate. This little bastard is really outrageous."
