Quicky Wear Beautiful Wife- Destiny Changer-

chapter 5

"What gift did eldest brother bring us?" Yu Xiang asked, tilting his head.

　　Yu Jingyao smiled: "I go to Suzhou every year and I bring all the gifts I can, but I won't give them this time."

　　Yu Xiang pouted unhappily.

　　Yu Jingyao took a sip of tea and then said: "In the Peach Blossom Festival in a few days, my eldest brother will take you to enjoy the flowers."

　　Satisfied, Yu Xiang turned to her mother and said, "Mom, I want to invite Sister Chen to go with me, is that okay?"

　　Ms. Xie frowned and reminded her daughter: "Sister Chen, although she is one year older than you, in terms of seniority, she will call you fourth cousin in the future."

　　When the title "fourth cousin" was mentioned, Yu Xiang became angry. He twisted his handkerchief and said, "I don't want to be called my cousin. Anyway, Sister Chen and Xie Jin haven't gotten married yet, and she is older than me. It’s right that my name is Sister Chen!”

　　The two women were arguing, and Yu Jingyao asked curiously: "Where did Sister Chen come from, and who is Xie Jin?"

　　Forgetting that her son didn't know that there was a guest at home, Ms. Xie hurriedly explained.

　　Yu Jingyao remembered that his mother did have a distant relative in the north. Although they were both named Xie, their cousins were far away. It was difficult for the Du family to think of coming to Yangzhou to join them when they were in trouble.

　　Mrs. Xie was worried that her son would not want to take in relatives from her natal family, so she said with a smile: "Your cousin Xie Jin has already been awarded the title of scholar when he was just eighteen years old. Let's support him. In the future, he will be awarded the title of Jinshi and become an official. You will also have it in the officialdom." Take care of me."

　　Yu Jingyao was not so stingy and said, "It's rare that they remember their mother, so we should help them out."

　　Mrs. Xie was relieved and asked her son to change his clothes so that she could invite the Du family to come to see him.

　　Yu Jingyao went back to his yard first.

　　Mrs. Xie sent her maid to notify Mrs. Du and Chen Jiao. Mrs. Du made preparations in advance and came here immediately with Chen Jiao.

　　After Chen Jiao woke up, she left the small courtyard for the first time.

　　Chen Jiao was from Beijing. She had only seen descriptions of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River from books before. When she walked inside the Yu family's mansion, she discovered that even though it was just a merchant's house, it was built with beautiful views, including bamboo forests, rockeries, and running water. It was both quiet and elegant, yet generous and noble. Chen Jiao couldn't help but sigh, Jiangnan was really a good place, and she had to go out for a walk if she had the chance.

　　Arriving in front of Yong'an Hall, Chen Jiao looked up and saw a handsome man in a green shirt standing outside the courtyard door. It was her "old husband" Xie Jin.

　　"Mom, my dear sister." Xie Jin walked towards them with a gentle smile and a pure look at Chen Jiao.

　　Chen Jiao was not used to the sound of "Jiaomei", and the fine hairs on her arms stood up.

　　"Thank you, brother." Chen Jiao lowered her eyes and called.

　　Du Shi and Xie Jin both looked over in surprise. Chen Jiao had called Xie Jin "Brother Jin" since she was a child. Why did she suddenly change her name?

　　Chen Jiao must change her words. She can't call him "Brother Jin" with such an affectionate name.

　　"Mrs. Cousin, let's go in, my wife is waiting." The housekeeper beside Ms. Xie reminded her with a smile.

　　Mrs. Du responded and led the two children to follow the housekeeper.

　　Yu Jingyao hadn't arrived yet, and only the Xie family and his wife were sitting in the main room.

　　Chen Jiao first looked at Mrs. Xie secretly, and saw that although Mrs. Xie was dressed richly, she did not have the bearing of a naturally rich wife. It was obvious at a glance that she got rich halfway. On the contrary, her two daughters were more generous and confident, and her sister Yu Lan was bright and beautiful. She was beautiful, looking at them with a faint smile, with an invisible sense of arrogance. Her younger sister Yu Xiang was kind and cute, and even winked at her.

　　Facing Yu Xiang's kindness, Chen Jiao nodded.

　　"Everyone, take a seat, Jingyao will be here soon." Xie greeted.

　　Du and Chen Jiao sat next to the female guest, and Xie Jin sat opposite. After sitting down, Xie Jin felt someone was looking at him. He looked up and saw the third girl, Yu Lan, quickly lowering her eyes, with a pair of white little hands nervous. The ground clutched the veil.

　　Xie Jin couldn't help but take another look at Yu Lan, his nominal cousin.

　　Xie Jin has been studying since he was a child, and his family is lagging behind. He has worked harder and harder. Apart from his fiancée Chen Jiao, there are only a handful of nieces he has met and spoken to. There is no doubt that Chen Jiao is beautiful, but after watching her every day for more than ten years, and because Chen Jiao is sick and sick, it is really difficult for Xie Jin to have the same desire for Chen Jiao that a man has for a woman.

　　On the other hand, Yu Lan, who is opposite, has a beautiful appearance and a ruddy complexion, just like a peony flower in full bloom, which attracts people's imagination. Chen Jiao is also a flower, but it is the kind of flower that has been beaten by rain, with dewdrops, and is very pitiful. Xie Jin's family is poor, and he himself is a pitiful person. How can he have time to pity someone even more pitiful?

　　Therefore, people like Yu Lan are more attractive to Xie Jin.

　　"coming."

　　Xie's smiling voice brought Xie Jin back from his wandering thoughts. Yu Jingyao was his cousin. He immediately stood up to show respect.

　　Du Shi also left her seat, and her position happened to block Chen Jiao next to her.

　　"Jingyao, this is your cousin-in-law." Mrs. Xie first introduced Mrs. Du to her son.

　　Yu Jingyao, who had changed into a dark robe, bowed his hands to Mrs. Du politely: "My cousin has come all the way, and Jingyao was not able to greet her from afar. Please bear with me if I am rude."

　　Du was flattered and said nervously: "What did my cousin say? We came uninvited and caused trouble for you."

　　Yu Jingyao smiled and turned to look at Xie Jin.

　　Xie Jin behaved more calmly and saluted respectfully: "Zichun has met my cousin."

　　The young man Yushu Linfeng had great fame. Yu Jingyao admired this distant relative very much. He looked at it carefully, then patted Xie Jin on the shoulder and praised: "My nephew is so charming. From today on, you can just prepare for the exam with peace of mind. I will wait for you to take the autumn exam." Your name is on the gold medal list, and my cousin will hold a big banquet to celebrate your success."

　　Xie Jin felt happy and said with a slight blush, "Thank you very much, cousin. Zichun will study diligently and live up to my cousin's high expectations."

　　Yu Jingyao nodded.

　　After the men finished speaking, Mrs. Xie looked at Chen Jiao next to Mrs. Du, and her voice became a little softer: "This is Miss Chen, Zichun's fiancée."
