Chen Jiao became an orphan . Since the Chen family had no other relatives, the Xie family took the prospective daughter-in-law in and raised her in their own home.

  Chen Jiao and her fiancé Xie Jin were childhood sweethearts . Chen Jiao was frail and sickly. Outsiders felt sorry for the Xie family to have such a sick daughter-in-law-to-be. However, Xie Jin's mother, Du Shi, loved Chen Jiao very much and almost despised Chen Jiao. She was raised as her biological daughter. Every time Chen Jiao fell ill, Du would give her medicine and wipe her sweat with her own hands.

  Xie Jin also cares about Chen Jiao very much, that kind of care is more like that of an elder brother to his younger sister.

  A few years later, Xie Jin's father went out on business and encountered bandits. He lost his goods and lost his life. With the head of the family gone, Mrs. Du was left alone to raise her son who was studying and his sick daughter-in-law-to-be. As the family's financial resources were gradually emptied, the life of the three of them became worse and worse. Mrs. Du had to do some sewing and sewing. She was tired day and night, which made her She was only in her thirties, but she looked haggard, like a woman in her forties.

  Life was so hard, but God showed no mercy. A heavy rain hit, and the street where Xie's family lived was flooded, leaving them homeless. Mrs. Du finally thought of her deceased husband's aunt who was married to Yangzhou. It is said that the day Living a very wealthy life, Mrs. Du took her son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law to travel across mountains and rivers to Yangzhou.

  This aunt of the Xie family, Mrs. Xie, has to say that her life is really good. She first married a small vendor named Yu. The small vendor was smooth-tongued and used to flatter everyone. He started selling combs, rulers, etc. He took over the business and became the head shopkeeper of a silk and satin shop. After working as the shopkeeper for several years, he opened his own silk shop and started a business on his own. The business was very prosperous.

  Her husband's business was good, and Mrs. Xie's belly was also very promising. Her first child was a son, and then she gave birth to two girls in succession. When she got older, she thought it was over, but after a few years of rest, she gave birth to a pair of twin sisters.

  The yin in the family was strong and the yang was declining. Mr. Yu treasured his eldest son Yu Fugui very much. When Xiao Fugui was five years old, Mr. Yu invited an old Taoist priest to tell his son's fortune. The old Taoist priest touched the little Fugui's head and then the little Fugui's body. Now that he has his arms and legs, he said to Mr. Yu: "If you make your son rich and prosperous, you can make the Yu family a prosperous family in Yangzhou. But you should not get married early. If you get married too early, your wealth will be ruined. You have to wait twenty years." On my fifth birthday, let’s talk about marriage.”

  Master Yu and Mrs. Xie believed it to be true.

  The old Taoist priest changed the name of the little rich man to Yu Jingyao. The reason was that he was destined to be rich and his name should not be called rich.

  Mr. Yu and Mrs. Xie happily rewarded him with a lot of money.

  From then on, the eldest son of the Yu family was called Yu Jingyao.

  Yu Jingyao is smart and astute, and he has been exposed to his father's business methods. At a young age, he has also learned the tricks and intrigues of businessmen. When there are officials and distinguished guests who need to be fawned over at home, he can flatter and help him better than his father. After taking on a lot of big business, a buyer who had suffered a loss came to seek justice. Yu Jingyao changed from a smiling tiger to a ghost with a sad face, until the owner couldn't tell the story of his suffering and left in despair.

  When Yu Jingyao was eighteen years old, Mr. Yu died of illness. Several other silk and satin merchants in Yangzhou saw the opportunity and planned to take over the Yu family's family business. Unexpectedly, Yu Jingyao seemed to be wearing hemp and filial piety and devoted himself to his father's death. In fact, he had taken precautions for it. Not only did he not He fell into the trap, but used it to defeat three powerful enemies. From then on, the Yu family became the largest silk and satin shop in Yangzhou City, making money every day.

  Ms. Xie was very pleased that her son was doing well in business, but she wanted to have a grandson even more. Therefore, as soon as Yu Jingyao passed his twenty-fifth birthday, Ms. Xie worked hard to arrange a marriage for her son, and then personally selected a man from a good family background for her son. A girl with a dignified appearance and plump body who can give birth to a child at a glance.

  Yu Jingyao focused on his business, and his marriage was arranged by his mother. He was only responsible for visiting his prospective father-in-law's house when his appearance was needed. The next year, when the wedding day was coming, the rope suddenly broke when the girl was swinging, and it broke when she reached the highest point. The rich girl fell down and died on the spot.

  Xie secretly complained to her son about the bad luck.

  Yu Jingyao thought to himself, his mother kept talking about his fiancée's buttocks every day, could it be that it was too big and the rope broke under the load?

  No matter what the reason was, the two elder sisters were married and had children . The first marriage that Yu Jingyao had finally been looking forward to had failed.

  Some people say that Yu Jingyao's destiny is to overpower his wife. Yu Jingyao doesn't believe it, the Xie family doesn't believe it, and people who covet the Yu family's wealth don't believe it either.

  When Yu Jingyao was twenty-six years old, Master He, the magistrate of Yangzhou, took the initiative to act as a matchmaker and wanted to marry one of his concubine's daughters to him.

  The topic brought up at the dinner table was that Yu Jingyao had never seen the concubine girl at that time. He didn't know whether she was beautiful or ugly, but it didn't matter if she was beautiful or ugly. Lord He wanted to use his wealth to manage the nobles in the officialdom in order to continue to be promoted. , Yu Jingyao also wanted to rely on the government to make his family business bigger and smoother.

  Picking up the wine cup, he readily agreed.

  As a result, at the end of the year, Mr. He's married wife vomited blood and died in anger because her husband had taken another beautiful concubine. Yu Jingyao's fiancée, Miss He Liu, who was born by a concubine, had to keep her filial piety to her aunt, so their marriage had to be postponed. Three years later.

  Yu Jingyao didn't take it seriously. Mr. Xie was worried to death. Three years later, his son would be thirty years old. How could someone at this age still not have an heir?

  When Mrs. Du brought Xie Jin and Chen Jiao to join the Yu family, she happened to catch up with Yu Jingyao going out on business and Mrs. Xie was worried about having a grandson.

  Eighteen-year-old Xie Jin is tall and tall, with red lips and white teeth. He is a very elegant young man. Seeing such a grandnephew from her natal family, Mr. Xie felt happy at first. Then she learned that Xie Jin had passed the scholar examination and would take the judicial examination this autumn. , Ms. Xie was even more satisfied. Money is nothing, she has endless money to spend, raising three more people is just a drop in the bucket, her parents are going to have a candidate or even become an official, Mrs. Xie is proud!

  Mrs. Xie personally arranged for Xie Jin to live in the front yard, while Mrs. Du and Chen Jiao lived together in a small courtyard in the back house.

  When Chen Jiao woke up instead of her original self, it was the second day they stayed at Yu's house.

  Because Chen Jiao covered her head and said nothing, the maid Shuang'er was confused and ran to invite Mrs. Du.

  "Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Auntie." Du Shi sat on the edge of the bed and held Chen Jiao with both hands.
