But for some reason, Yu Jingyao liked Chen Jiao even more when he thought of Chen Jiao's big angry eyes. If it weren't for the fact that her current appearance was so funny, Yu Jingyao would have gone over there to look for her today. Even if he couldn't get a hold of her for a while, just look at her furious look. Also very interesting.

  After looking at his lips for a while, Yu Jingyao called Liu Xi to come in and wait.

  Liu Xi lowered his head smartly, not even looking at his father's face.

  Yu Jingyao dressed well and went to Yong'an Hall to have breakfast with his family. He is a busy man and does not spend much time at home in a month. When he has time, Yu Jingyao will try his best to spend time with his mother and sisters.

  The third girl, Yu Lan, stared at her brother's mouth curiously.

  The fourth girl, Yu Xiang, smiled mercilessly and teased her brother: "What good food did my brother eat for the party last night? The mosquitoes just bit your mouth?"

  Although Mrs. Xie is a woman, she did not play any tricks with Mr. Yu, who died early, and she did not have any association with her son's injury.

  Yu Jingyao looked as usual and said: "I was talking to someone while eating fish and accidentally pricked it twice."

  After saying that, he glared at the fourth sister who couldn't stop laughing.

  The maids put the food on the table, and the family of four sat around the table. Yu Jingyao ate in silence. Mr. Xie chatted for a few words, and suddenly brought the topic to Chen Jiao, who had just moved away. Her tone was very disdainful: "It's time to open a shop again." She was renting a house, and she didn’t spend our family’s money? I think she is just greedy for money, and she was afraid that we would take it back, so she quickly defrauded the money from your cousin-in-law and ran away. If this were my wife, I would have divorced her long ago, just you My cousin-in-law is silly, I think she is nice every day."

  Yu Lan asked curiously: "She asked her cousin for money?"

  Xie said: "No, I want a full fifty taels! If I had known that your cousin-in-law couldn't control the money, I wouldn't have given her so much."

  Yu Xiang curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Mom gives the money to my cousin, and the money is my cousin's money. I can give it to whomever I want. My cousin doesn't feel sorry for me, so don't worry about me."

  Mrs. Xie reached out and gave her daughter a slap: "I told you to talk back!"

  Yu Xiang put down the bowl angrily and ran away!

  The women were talking nonsense, but Yu Jingyao only listened without interfering with a word.

  Mrs. Xie was angry for a while and suddenly asked her son: "It's the Dragon Boat Festival. What gift should I give to the Qi family this year?"

  The son has never met Miss Qi Liu from the prefect's family. Mr. Xie met him a few times when he was a guest there. Her appearance is not too outstanding, and her butt is not too big or small. But it is a good thing for his son to get married to the prefect's family. Therefore, although Miss Qi Liu had to pay filial piety to her aunt, which delayed her grandson's important event, Mr. Xie still attached great importance to this marriage and paid great attention to the etiquette during the New Year and holidays.

  Yu Jingyao said casually: "According to last year's price."

  The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yu Jingyao went to the prefect's mansion as his prospective son-in-law.

  The prefect of Qi and his son Qi Wenxuan warmly entertained Yu Jingyao.

  The prefect of Qi was interested in Yu Jingyao's financial resources and skills. Not only was this man doing well in business, he was also in trouble in the officialdom. If he consulted with Yu Jingyao, Yu Jingyao could also come up with a clever plan. In addition to Qi Wenxuan's love for his soon-to-be brother-in-law's money, he also admired Yu Jingyao's bold and unruly temper. The two often dined and enjoyed themselves together.

  The men were drinking and drinking in the front yard. In the back house of the magistrate, girls Qi Qi, Qi Ba and Qi Jiu, who had not yet left the palace, came to play with Qi Liu.

  The four half-brothers and concubines are actually engaged, leaving only two little girls of six or seven years old in the Qi family who have not yet discussed marriage.

  The fiancé of the seventh girl was a classmate of the Qi Prefecture, and he was also an official in his family. At this time, she said to the sixth girl with special envy: "Sister, your life is really good. Yu Jingyao is the richest man in our Yangzhou City. How many lifetimes has your sister been married to?" There’s so much money to spend.”

  The eighth girl's fiancé is a young man from a scholarly family. She also said to the sixth girl enviously: "And the eldest sister Yu Jingyao is ten years old. I heard that older husbands are particularly fond of others. If my sister marries her, she will definitely be favored by him. inside."

  The fiancé of the ninth girl is an official widower. She also envies the sixth girl: "It is said that Yu Jingyao's life is too tough for his wife, but he has no aunts and children at home, so he has less worries."

  The three girls sounded envious, but in fact they were all gloating. No matter how rich Yu Jingyao was, they were all merchants. Girls from ordinary people or minor officials might be happy to marry Yu Jingyao, but to the daughters of the prefect, even if they were concubines, , and was ashamed to marry Yu Jingyao.

  Miss Qi Liu thought the same thing. She forced a smile to deal with the three sisters. As soon as the three sisters left, she was so angry that she threw herself on the bed and cried. It was all because her aunt was the least favored, so her father would only obey the sisters. They chose her to marry Yu Jingyao, a twenty-seven-year-old wife-suppressing old merchant. Who would want to marry her? Rather than being laughed at by all the sisters after marrying her, she would rather be killed by Yu Jingyao!

  Miss Qi Liu cried so sadly. She hoped that during the two years of her mourning, Yu Jingyao would either die unexpectedly or lose his business. As long as he died or became poor, her father would definitely regret the marriage and choose a more suitable marriage for her.

  Yu Jingyao didn't know the thoughts of his fiancée, whom he had never met before, and he wouldn't care if he knew it. He and Magistrate Qi were just doing what they wanted in this marriage. It didn't matter what the woman thought.

  After returning from the magistrate's residence, Yu Jingyao returned to his home.

  Liu Xi accompanied him to the upper room and reported in a low voice: "Sir, the third girl and Mr. Xie are admiring the flowers in the lotus garden."

  Yu Jingyao paused, then waved his hand to Liu Xi to go down, and he went to Heyuan alone.

  The back garden of the Yu family is divided into four gardens for enjoying the scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Among them, the Lotus Garden is the most suitable to enjoy in summer. When approaching the Lotus Garden, Yu Jingyao deliberately slowed down and walked behind a green bamboo bush. Through the bamboo branches, Yu Jingyao saw Seeing two people sitting in the pavilion by the lotus pond, Yu Jingyao hid beside the green bamboo bushes and peered silently.

  Sitting in the pavilion were, of course, the third girl, Yu Lan, and Xie Jin, who was wearing a white shirt. From Yu Jingyao's perspective, he could see his sister's back and Xie Jin's face. Eighteen-year-old Xie Jin is indeed handsome, especially his elegant scholarly demeanor, which is most likely to attract the liking of young girls.
