Hearing this, Chen Jiao said sarcastically: "It's simple. It just so happened that I bought two beauties today. I don't know what to do. Why don't you go and have a look first? If you think my beauties are better, just ask for them. Then There’s no need to take on the side business.”

  Mr. Xie was buying people in a big way, but Chen Jiao was not blind or deaf, so she had no news at all.

  "You know everything?" Yu Jingyao's smile faded and he sat up.

  Chen Jiao lowered her head and said nothing.

  Yu Jingyao tilted his head to look at her and asked with a smile: "Why, are you afraid that I will take them in?"

  Chen Jiao glanced at him and said bitterly: "What's the use of being afraid? With your status, if you don't accept it today, you will accept it sooner or later."

  It has to be said that Chen Jiao looked a little sad today as Xi Shi was sick, as if she was really depressed and worried.

  Yu Jingyao was very helpful. He hugged Chen Jiao into his arms and kissed her while saying, "If I were really such a lustful person, I would already have children in groups."

  Chen Jiao pouted: "You don't have any at home, who knows how many there are outside."

  These words were full of sourness, but Yu Jingyao loved hearing them. He pinched her ears and said, "There is a little beauty hidden outside."

  Chen Jiao turned her eyes and looked at him critically.

  Yu Jingyao smiled, held her face and said, "It's just that the little beauty was unwilling to be a concubine, so she forced me to marry her."

  Chen Jiao stared at him, but the corners of her mouth turned up.

  Yu Jingyao looked at her cute look and suddenly felt in the mood again.

  In the next three days, Ms. Xie didn't cause any trouble to Chen Jiao, and Chen Jiao was happy and at ease.

  On the fourth day, the imperial court issued the results for the autumn examination.

  The boy from the Yu family squeezed in the front, stretching his neck and looking left and right, but he couldn't find Xie Jin's name.

  Chapter 46

  Xie Jin failed.

  Two young men came back with bad news.

  At that time, the three mothers of the Xie family, Yu Jingyao, Chen Jiao and his wife, and the mother and son of the Du family Xie Jin were all in the hall.

  There was no need for the boy to speak. One look at the dejected faces of the two boys and the result was self-evident.

  Xie's face is paler than Du's. Xie really likes Xie Jin and wants to marry her daughter to Xie Jin, but her son has put her words down a long time ago. If Xie Jin fails, it means that the marriage will not be successful.

  The third girl, Yu Lan, looked at Xie Jin worriedly.

  Du Shi's eye circles were already red.

  Xie Jin, on the other hand, had actually been prepared to lose the exam. During the half month of the autumn exam, he was caught in the cold and could not even lift a pen to write. After finishing the last subject, Xie Jin had already expected today's results.

  "Don't be afraid. Zichun is just unlucky and ill this time. With Zichun's talent and learning, if he takes the exam again in three years, he will definitely be on the gold medal list."

  Yu Jingyao took the lead in breaking the silence and encouraged Xie Jindao loudly.

  Du Shi lowered his head.

  Mr. Xie secretly observed her son and said something so nice. Was it true or just casual talk?

  "My cousin has high hopes that Zichun will study hard in the future and will not waste any more time." Xie Jin stood up and saluted Yu Jingyao.

  Yu Jingyao nodded.

  After hearing the news, the atmosphere was awkward and everyone dispersed early.

  Mrs. Xie stopped her son, and the two of them spoke alone: "Jingyao, Zichun is only eighteen. He will still be young and promising when he takes the exam three years later. What on earth do you think?"

  Yu Jingyao said: "The seniority cannot be messed up. If Zichun marries his sister, even if he becomes an official in the future, his colleagues only need to impeach him for marrying his cousin, which violates human ethics. Zichun will be exempted from the official position or jailed at the most serious case. This is what my mother wants to see." Did you arrive?"

  Mrs. Xie, a woman who made a fortune by relying on her husband, doesn't know anything about officialdom. Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this. After a while, they asked: "But, when I mentioned this to you, why didn't you object?"

  Yu Jingyao didn't object because he wanted to take advantage of his sister's confusion and Xie Jin's greed to prompt Xie Jin and Chen Jiao to break off their engagement. Now he objected because he didn't want Xie Jin to be his sister-in-law, which would be an eyesore for the rest of his life.

  Since his mother couldn't guess, Yu Jingyao lied casually and said seriously: "I had dinner with Mr. Qi before the announcement of the results, and mentioned my sister's marriage. Mr. Qi gave me some reasoning, and I finally made up my mind. Mother, There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. If Third Sister can’t think about it, please give me some advice.”

  Xie was distraught.

  Over in the guest room, Mrs. Du held back her tears for a long time in front of everyone, and finally shed them when her mother and daughter were alone.

  During this trip to Yangzhou, she lost Jiaojiao as her prospective daughter-in-law. Now that her son has failed the exam, what hope does she have in the future? She will continue to stay in the Yu family and eat and drink for free? If she didn't know the true face of Yu Jingyao, how could Du She shamelessly accepted the help from her relatives, but she knew that when she thought of Yu Jingyao's compulsion on Jiaojiao, Du Shi no longer wanted to stay in Yangzhou.

  She wanted to return to her hometown. She would rather live in poverty with her son than covet the prosperity of the Yu family.

  "Zichun, what are your plans for the future?" Wiping away her tears, Mrs. Du looked at her son standing by the window with his hands behind his back.

  "Mom, I want to go home." Xie Jin turned around, his expression was very calm, and he was not speaking out of anger.

  Walking over, Xie Jin sat next to his mother and whispered: "Mom, after I go back, I can write letters and copy books for others to make money. We will live a poorer life than now, but we don't have to rely on anyone. Without those worldly distractions, My son can study more attentively, and my mother won’t have to endure hardship when her son passes the exam.”

  The mother and son had an idea. Mrs. Du was very happy, but she still had a problem: "When we go back, what will happen to your marriage to the third girl?"

  Xie Jin smiled bitterly.

  Ever since he learned that his sister was going to marry Yu Jingyao, Xie Jin seemed to have fallen into a dream. There were all the people he knew in the dream, but those people were just shadows and could not be seen clearly. Until today when the results were released, everything suddenly fell into place. Certainly. Looking at Yu Lan again, Xie Jin had long since lost his original excitement.

  As if he had taken a circuit along the fork in the road, Xie Jin returned to the starting point.

  He only felt sorry for his sister and the two elders of the Chen family who passed away.

  "I will explain it clearly." Xie Jin lowered his eyes and said.
