126 Young Master

Shao Liulang was not a Cultivated Talent, but he was Shao Yunduan's cousin, whilst Shao Yunduan was County Magistrate's son-in-law.

Therefore, Shao Liulang pretended not to know the rules, and took the seat. No one went up to ask him to get up.

Qiao Xuan soon noticed that on the left side of Officer Qiao, there were two strange young men seated.

Both of them were over 20 years old. One looked full of knowledge. He had a noble temperament, holding a folding fan, dressed in white, and was very elegant.

The other person was slightly younger. He had handsome features, and a pair of peach blossom eyes, flying diagonally into the temples, long and narrow. He looked bright. He had a smile on his face, giving people a feeling of laziness and arrogance. The royal blue robe with gold trim was very gorgeous, which made him even more eye-catching.

Both of them had a very interesting attitude towards Officer Qiao. They were polite, but not flattering. On the contrary, Officer Qiao seemed to flatter the handsome man in white every now and then.

By this point, Qiao Xuan more or less understood what was going on here.

Her father did not like to hang out with common folks. He was focussed on getting promoted and becoming rich. He was a very practical person.

In the past, he would have never come to watch the Dragon Boat Race. He must be here because of these two men who were interested in the race. He even had Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei with him.

So, this young master must be holding a high position.

Qiao Kou was also a follower of Qiao Wei, so Qiao Kou would always be with Qiao Wei wherever she was.

But, Qiao Kou was nowhere to be seen today.

Apparently, Qiao Wei did not need her to be around, and must have stopped Qiao Kou from meeting these two young masters.

What if Qiao Kou got in touch with either of them, Qiao Wei would be very displeased.

Qiao Xuan could not help but smile. That would be an interesting show!

Qiao Xuan was absolutely right.

At this moment in a small room of a small yard, Qiao Kou had finished crying hard. Concubine Du kept consoling her and said, Don't cry any more, Third Miss. What if you get swollen eyes? What if Madame Qiao and Elder Miss see you?

So what? Qiao Kou snapped angrily. Qiao Wei, the bitch is so narrow-minded, selfish and arrogant. She has her own suitor but still doesn't want me to have a good suitor. She doesn't allow me to meet Young Master Xie, and also forbids me from meeting Young Master Zhang and Young Master Zhao! Mom, what should I do?

That white-clothed young master was called Xie Jingrong. He was the lineal Elder Grandson of the noble family, the Xie Family. It was a very prestigious family in the city.

He was talented, elegant and handsome. He was not into imperial examinations, but he was not someone to be looked down upon.

His lineal grandfather was the former Head of the Ministry of Personnel, whilst his father was the Left Officer of the Ministry of Rites. His mother was County Qingping, the only child of Lord Jian.

More than ten people of the Xie Family were working as officers in the capital or some local areas. Moreover, there were endless of them who had achieved the level of Recommended Man and Cultivated Talent, but were yet to be granted official titles.

That was a huge, noble clan that was far beyond the Qiao Family's reach.

Therefore, when Xie Jingrong was on a trip in this county with Yuezheng Xiao, who was the Third Young Master of the Yuezheng Family, an enormous business family, County Magistrate Qiao heard about it and came to greet them happily.

The Xie Family had a wide network. Although their clan was not based in the capital, they had a huge network in the capital. Therefore, County Magistrate Qiao hoped that the Xie Family could help with his transfer back to the capital. He was sure that he could make it happen!
