Yu Jingyao's hands behind his back moved his fingers lightly. Chen Jiao was reluctant to obey him. Could it be because she liked Xie Jin too much?

  At this moment, Yu Jingyao saw his sister pick up a grape from the fruit plate and hand it to Xie Jin.

  Xie Jin wanted to hide, but in the end he didn't hide. He blushed slightly and ate the grapes that Yu Lan personally fed to his mouth.

  Yu Jingyao sneered. If that wasn't his biological sister, he would have wanted to say something unpleasant.

  Yu Jingyao walked out from behind the bamboo bushes.

  Xie Jin saw him first, felt guilty and stood up immediately.

  Yu Lan looked back, thinking that her brother might have seen her behavior just now, and became a little nervous. She just wanted to compete with Chen Jiao for Xie Jin. Yu Lan was not afraid of Chen Jiao bumping into her, but she was afraid of being scolded by her brother.

  "Cousin."

  "Brother."

  Yu Jingyao stepped into the pavilion, and Xie Jin and Yu Lan saluted one after another.

  Yu Jingyao sat alone on a stone bench and glanced at the fruit plate and tea on the table. He said calmly to the pink lotus flowers in the pond: "It's noon, you don't go to rest but are here to enjoy the flowers. It's so elegant." .”

  These words had profound meaning. Yu Lan's cheeks turned red and she ran away in shame.

  Only then did Yu Jingyao look at Xie Jin with a stern look.

  Xie Jin also wanted to leave, but he didn't dare. Yu Jingyao was clearly coming for him.

  He stood there nervously like a student waiting to be reprimanded by his master.

  Yu Jingyao knocked on the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."

  Xie Jin sat uneasily, and in a short time, a layer of sweat broke out on his fair forehead.

  Yu Jingyao got straight to the point, stared at him and asked, "Do you like Third Sister?"

  Xie Jin stood up abruptly, not even daring to say anything.

  Yu Jingyao smiled softly: "According to what I just saw, you two seem to be in love."

  Xie Jin's face turned red, but he didn't know how to defend himself.

  Yu Jingyao asked him to sit down again, thought for a while, and sighed: "Actually, although you call me cousin and Sanmei's cousin, our families are distant relatives. It stands to reason that you like Sanmei, and my mother and I will not disagree. It’s just that your son is engaged in an engagement and lives in Yangzhou City. You don’t want to break off the engagement, but you come to pester the third sister. Could it be that you want the third sister to be your little one?”

  Xie Jin was first surprised because he heard that Yu Jingyao would support him and Yu Lan, and then panicked because of Yu Jingyao's speculation. He stood up and promised: "Zichun will never dare to look down on the third girl!"

  Yu Jingyao said "Oh", raised his head and asked him: "So, you plan to break off the engagement with Miss Chen?"

  Xie Jin opened his mouth, and before speaking, bits and pieces of his relationship with his sister suddenly came to his mind. When Jiaomei first came to Xie's house, she was just a five-year-old girl. She was very acquainted with life and was not close to her father or mother. She hid behind the wet nurse and only dared to look at him curiously. Later, the second elder of the Chen family died of illness. My sister cried until her voice became hoarse. She also fell seriously ill. She lay on the bed and said pitifully: "Brother Jin, I want to go home."

  The seven-year-old boy held the little girl's hand and said, "Don't cry, dear sister. From now on, my home will be your home, and Brother Jin will protect you."

  Brother Jin and his beloved sister, eleven years have passed in a flash.

  Xie Jin knew what he wanted most. Perhaps he had already made his choice when he agreed to accompany Yu Lan to enjoy the flowers, but when the moment actually came, Xie Jin felt very uncomfortable.

  He didn't want to hurt Jiao Mei, he was afraid of seeing her cry. Jiao Mei had the most beautiful almond eyes. When she looked at him crying, he...

  Xie Jin clenched his fists.

  Yu Jingyao was sitting, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the scholar's fist. He looked away, and he pinched a grape from the fruit plate and placed it on the stone table. He pinched a diced watermelon and placed it next to the grape, about a foot apart, and then spoke seriously and sincerely. Authentic: "Zichun, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to walk in the officialdom in the future, you will face more situations like today. My cousin hopes that you will be a smart person."

  Xie Jin closed his eyes.

  You can't have both fish and bear's paws, but who can tell him who is the fish and who is the bear's paw?

  The sound of flowing water could be heard in his ears, and he was surrounded by the beautiful garden of the Yu family. What he was wearing was also the silk and satin of the Yu family.

  "Don't worry, cousin, I will make it clear to my sister after the festival."

  Before leaving the pavilion, Xie Jin said extremely seriously.

  Yu Jingyao sighed and told him, "It's not easy for Miss Chen to come all the way with you. I'll ask Liu Xi to find you tonight."

  Xie Jin didn't understand what he meant.

  In the evening, Liu Xi knocked on Xie Jin's door.

  Xie Jin opened the door to meet the guests.

  Liu Xi took out ten 100-tael silver notes from his sleeve, lowered his head and said, "Master said, these are enough for Miss Chen to have enough food and clothing."

  Xie Jin looked at the neat banknotes, but he couldn't be happy for his sweet sister at all.

  "Brother Jin, don't worry, I can marry you when I'm old enough!"

  "Brother Jin, I still have two taels of silver here. You can use it. I don't have anything to buy anyway."

  "Brother Jin..."

  Chapter 36

  In the past few days when Yu Jingyao didn't come to see her, Chen Jiao's life was not bad but not bad.

  On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Jiao went out, and she must have brought Shuang'er with her. The fourth and sixth children arranged for her by Yu Jingyao took the initiative to follow her. The two maids were quite honest. No matter what Chen Jiao did, they didn't care. He doesn't show any emotions of approval or disapproval, he's probably just keeping an eye on her to prevent her from escaping.

  During the Dragon Boat Festival, people all eat rice dumplings. Shunzi’s rice dumpling business is doing very well. Chen Jiao stood at the entrance of the alley from a distance, watching Shunzi selling so enthusiastically, watching the people eating and drinking happily, and seeing the unique small bridge in Jiangnan. The running water appeared in front of her eyes like a picture scroll every day, and the aggravation in Chen Jiao's chest gradually dissipated.

  She came back with a purpose, and she can leave once the purpose is accomplished. There are some things that should be taken care of, but there is no need to take them too seriously.
