How to catch the best husband [MTL] ✔

Chapter 113 Hope for Your Return

In the Chen family courtyard, Dongsheng looked at Qiao Feng's back with a broom, and muttered, "How many times is this this month?"

"the sixth time."

Dongsheng was startled by Chen Jingyu who appeared from behind: "Master Yu."

Chen Jingyu nodded, his expression also bad.

Dongsheng and Chen Jingyu have never had any intersection, but at this time, the two seem to have a special tacit understanding. Even if they don't say anything, they can tell the hostility towards Qiao Feng in the other's eyes.

"Master Meng has been gone for a few months, and it feels like I haven't seen him for a long time." Dong Sheng spoke slowly.

Chen Jingyu's eyes lit up when he heard Meng You's name: "Senior brother is coming back soon, it's rumored in our academy, brother Meng You will definitely get a good ranking in the palace exam this year." Even winning three yuan, Chen Jingyu secretly said in his heart .

Originally, the academy was divided into two factions, one half betting on Meng You's high ranking, and the other half betting on Xue Li's high ranking. But after the township exam, most of the people turned to bet on Meng You, which greatly inspired Chen Jingyu, who was originally a staunch brother Meng's faction.

Dongsheng squinted his eyes: "That's for sure, Young Master Meng will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future." He had seen it long ago when Young Master Meng descended from the sky to drive away their rogue father.

Although this statement is straightforward, it is not wrong. Chen Jingyu saw a snow-colored figure walking past the end of the veranda, curling up and forming a beautiful silhouette with the red veranda. It was his cousin Chen Xi.

Although Chen Jingyu was still young and had no love affair, he could also feel that Chen Xi and Senior Brother Meng had something to do with each other. If Senior Brother Meng really became the champion as he had dreamed, then Chen Xi and Senior Brother Meng would be even more impossible. On the one hand is the third uncle's family, who treats him dearly, and on the other is the senior brother he admires. Thinking of this, Chen Jingyu's heart is also not very comfortable.

"When did the two of them get so good?" Chuntang held a basket of green plums and looked at the two teenagers standing under the tree from a distance, Xia He took a bite of the green plums, and the sour taste splashed: "Who knows."

The sixth time. Chen Xi stood outside the main hall, stared at the window paper pasted on the carved window for a while, and then went in with his skirt up.

"Father, mother." Chen Xi saluted properly, and then bowed his knees to Qiao Feng, his eyes drooping neatly, and there was no intention to peek at Qiao Feng at all.

Xu sighed in her heart, Chen Xi's behavior was not rude, but she knew her daughter, and this was her attitude towards guests, not her future husband-in-law.

Chen Shouren and Qiao Feng chatted hotly, and they didn't notice the undercurrent between Xu and Chen Xi at all.

Chen Xi only stayed for a while and left with Xu. No one noticed that Qiao Feng was also distracted by the snow in the corner of his eyes for a moment, and almost didn't answer Master Chen's question.

"What do you think?" Mrs Xu took Chen Xi to the backyard and asked aloud.

This sentence has no beginning or end. But both mother and daughter knew what they were asking.

"Mother--" Chen Xi was helpless, but there was a hint of relief in his heart. In the past month, he finally asked.

Chen Xi reached out and took a green orange, and peeled off his jade fingers, revealing the full flesh inside: "Senior brother is naturally good."

It just didn't suit her mind.

From nowhere, Mrs. Xu took out a booklet and waved it at Chen Xi, with a familiar look: "Is there anything in this book that you think is better?" 

Chen Xi took a closer look, isn't this the blind date booklet sent to him by his aunt, Xiao Xu? She was dumbfounded for a moment, sat on the chair for a while, and shook her head with a smile.

After Chen Xi left, Mrs. Xu handed the booklet to Mammy Bai and sighed, "Don't say it, she has such high vision."

Mammy Bai took the booklet and said with a smile, "It's just like you." Back then, Madam Xu found many talents from Jiangzhou for the Xu family, but she wasn't tempted. I was prejudiced to see Chen Shouren who came to Jiangzhou to visit friends when he was with his sister.

I also have to say that this is a good fate bestowed by God. Mrs. Xu has a docile personality and can't do something like Lin Ying's mother elopes. But after a few days, Chen Shouren came to the door again, and Mrs. Xu received him personally and cleaned up his bottom line.

After that, everything went smoothly. It was only later that I learned that it was not only the eldest miss of the Xu family who was tempted that day, but also the third child of the Chen family.

"Children are debts. The boy is worried when he is young, and the daughter can't keep it when he is older." Xu shi sighed and got up after listening to Chen Jinghe's loud cry in the inner room.

Chen Xi finally returned to her room. She fell down on the custom-made pear wood rocking chair and stared blankly at the wide open window at the back of the house.

The exam should be over by now. In her hand, she unconsciously rubbed the piece of ink jade that Meng You had given, and it felt warm to the touch.

The imperial examination is undoubtedly another important time node after Chen Xi's rebirth.

In the past life, she and Meng You had no intersection, but only saw his name on the red list. In this life, the fate of the two of them is tightly intertwined, and they have been together for nearly five years.

There is naturally Chen Xi's intentional actions here, but also Meng You's indifference.

After the imperial examination, what will happen to the Chen family, the Meng family and even the You family? Chen Xi didn't know, as a small and weak woman, she tried her best to do what she could in the past five years. Although she did not bring monstrous wealth to the Chen family, she did change. Some people, some things.

She is almost fifteen, and it is time for her to marry. The corner of Chen Xi's mouth raised a bitter smile. When he first came back, he only wanted to find a good husband, but now he just wants to put the matter on hold and wait for the imperial examination to make a conclusion.

It's just that she already has a choice in her mind. But, that person...will she have the same mind as her?

The spring scenery is lush and the water is sparkling.

In the water pavilion of the Youfu, a handsome man with excessively fair skin leaned on the cushion of the chair in the water pavilion, wrapped in a cyan silver silk auspicious cloud and crane cloak, very leisurely.

Not far away from him, sat a beautiful, delicate, slender, crimson lips reflecting the sun, wearing a rose-red breast-length Rui brocade skirt, and two ruby-encrusted silk double-button bracelets around her wrists.

These two are the son of You Ziping and the eldest daughter-in-law Meng Jiao. They care about each other, and although they have no words, they are harmonious.

A little maid who was waiting outside broke the silence: "Mrs. Young Master, there is a report from the front hall, and someone from your family is here."

Meng Jiao was stunned for a while, then stood up: "Do you know who it is?" A person flashed before her, but just because of his temperament, would he come here to see her?

"Count the days, the palace exam is over." You Ziping suddenly said, and brought the book covering his face, showing his smiling eyes: "If you want to be a younger brother, you are always worried about your elder sister."

Worried about it? Meng Jiao sneered, and just as she was about to refute, she heard the little maid say, "Eldest young master is as expected, I heard that it is the elder brother of the first young mistress!"

Meng Jiao opened her mouth, Meng You, this cold stone, really came to see her?
