Chen Jiao was worried.
In Yong'an Hall, when he learned that Xie Jin had left Yu Lan without saying goodbye, he lay in his mother's arms and cried, crying very sadly.
Yu Lan is the daughter of a merchant. Although she is rich, the people she occasionally comes into contact with are the children of merchants, most of whom are still young people. Yu Lan looks down on those people. Xie Jin Yushu is gentle and elegant, and he is also a scholar. Yu Lan likes him immediately. She spent so much effort to win Xie Jin's heart, but Xie Jin just left without any memory of her.
"Mom, my heart is going to be broken." Yu Lan choked with sobs.
As a mother, what can Xie do? She can only try her best to comfort her daughter and tell her the reason whenever she can, even if it is just a guess.
"Men are all about face. Zichun failed the exam. He has no face to face you again. It's not that he doesn't have you in his heart."
"I don't care whether he wins or not!"
After the first consolation failed, Mr. Xie brought out the reason that her son said was against human ethics.
Yu Lan whimpered: "He just doesn't like me anymore, otherwise why wasn't he afraid of being impeached in the first place?"
Mrs. Xie was almost at her wits end. She racked her brains and tried for the third time: "Actually, it's better for Zichun to leave. Otherwise, he had a marriage contract with your sister-in-law. If he marries you and becomes a family in the future, it will be embarrassing. Once, don’t you think?”
Yu Lan, who had been crying all the time, suddenly raised his head and asked with swollen eyes: "Mom, are you saying that he doesn't marry me because he wants to avoid his sister-in-law?"
Xie:……
She just said it casually without really thinking too much about it.
However, facing her daughter's tearful eyes, Ms. Xie could only respond: "Yes, Zichun still likes you, but you two are not destined. Now that he is gone, Lan'er should not think about him and forget about him as soon as possible. When the time comes, Mom will choose a better one for you. If you like scholars, Mom will choose a talented person for you from Yangzhou..."
Xie said a lot, but Yu Lan didn't listen. Only the shadow of Chen Jiao remained in her mind.
If Chen Jiao hadn't married his eldest brother, Xie Jin wouldn't have to be taboo about anything. If Chen Jiao hadn't seduced his eldest brother's heart, if Xie Jin wanted to leave, his eldest brother would definitely keep her as his biological sister. Mother is right, all this is due to that foxy Chen Jiao! As an orphan from a poor family with no father or mother, what qualifications does Chen Jiao have to marry into the Yu family, and what qualifications does Chen Jiao have to enjoy the wealth of their Yu family in vain?
She doesn't deserve it!
Yu Lan clutched her sleeves, with boundless resentment in her eyes.
Chapter 47
The departure of Xie Jin's mother and son had no impact on Chen Jiao's life. During the day, she continued to listen to Ms. I haven't shown up for a while, mostly staying in the boudoir feeling depressed.
On this day, Mrs. Xie invited three ladies to play cards at home. They were Mrs. Wu who drank soup cooked by her daughter-in-law every day, Mrs. Guo who often received handwritten Buddhist scriptures from her daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Guo who gave birth to a pair of twins. Mrs. Liu with a fat son.
"Do you have a good relationship with the three ladies?" Chen Jiao chatted with Yu Xiang while Yu Jingyao was not at home.
Yu Xiang curled his lips and hummed: "It's so good. My eldest brother is familiar with these three families. The wives of the four families often get together. Our family is the richest. The three wives are jealous of my mother and always like to spend time with other families." I showed it to my mother, and she had a smile on her face, but she almost hated me to death secretly."
Chen Jiao's heart moved slightly.
According to Chen Jiao’s observation, Ms. The daughter-in-law pays filial piety several times so that she can show off when she goes out as a guest.
Chen Jiao didn't want to go out of her way to please Mr. Xie, but it was idle time. If showing off could ease the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, why didn't she give it a try?
Chen Jiao ordered the kitchen to prepare honey and pears, and then she stewed a pot of pears soup in just over two-quarters of an hour. She cooled it with a fan, then added honey, and the honey pears soup was ready. Chen Jiao divided four bowls in total, closed the lids, and asked Shuang'er to hold them. Chen Jiao went to Yong'an Hall in a hurry.
Ms. Xie was unlucky today and kept losing. This game finally turned out to be a bad game. By chance, as soon as Chen Jiao stepped through the door, Ms. Xie was in trouble.
Aunt Li is a confidant around Mr. Xie. The last time she trained two maids for Mr. Xie, she was called over by Yu Jingyao to give her a secret lesson afterwards. Aunt Li is still smart and knows that Yu Jingyao is the one who ultimately decides this family, so she After accepting Yu Jingyao's money, he made up his mind to do things for Yu Jingyao well and tried his best to make Mr. Xie like Chen Jiao.
"My wife got mad when she came here. You said it was auspicious or unlucky." Aunt Li said to Mr. Xie with a smile.
People who play cards tend to believe in their luck. Xie looked at Chen Jiao and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chen Jiao saluted and said respectfully: "When I greeted my mother in the morning, I heard her coughing a few times. The weather is getting colder and colder. My daughter-in-law has just stewed pear honey soup that moistens the lungs and relieves coughs. Let me and the three wives try it. ?”
Ms. Xie did cough twice this morning. Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law actually remembered it and made soup specially.
Seeing the three poker players all looking at the tray in Shuang'er's hands, Ms. Xie suddenly felt particularly proud. These three people talked about their daughter-in-law's filial piety every day, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Who knows if it is true or not? Today her The daughter-in-law is truly filial to her.
"Bring it here, let's all have a try," Ms. Xie said generously to the three guests.
The three wives treated each other politely, and of course they all had to praise Chen Jiao as a filial daughter-in-law.
Nanny Li added a chair to Mrs. Xie's side and asked Chen Jiao to sit on it.
Chen Jiao is a very gentleman and only cares about Xie's cards.
Xie was not very good at playing cards and she couldn't ask about Nanny Li because she was a servant. When her daughter-in-law came and she couldn't make up her mind, she couldn't help but ask Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao's poker skills are pretty good, and she is especially good at observing other people's playing cards. She carefully helped out with several ideas. After a few rounds, Xie won more and lost less, and recovered all the losses she had previously lost.
