Chapter 27
Chen Jiao seemed to have become a star, slowly moving through the endless galaxy. She couldn't feel the time here, and didn't know how long this state lasted. She just felt that the galaxy was like gurgling water, which soothed her nostalgia and reluctance for her previous life bit by bit.
Just when Chen Jiao thought she was going to float like this, the galaxy was chaotic and she suddenly fell down quickly!
With a "ah", the panic of falling made Chen Jiao sit up as she screamed.
The little maid who was lying on the table was shocked and woke up. When she saw the master on the bed with a panic look on her face, she rushed to the bed and asked with concern: "What's wrong with the girl?"
Chen Jiao raised her head and saw a maid in a green skirt, with white face and big eyes, and a pretty and elegant one.
Chen Jiao was about to ask "Who are you?" When her head hurts, she instinctively supported the bed with one hand and held her forehead with the other.
With the experience of the last time and after a brief discomfort, Chen Jiao began to receive her original fate in the second life sent by the Bodhisattva.
Coincidentally, Chen Jiao, the second generation, also known as Chen Jiao, was from a wealthy family. She was the only pearl in her parents' hands. Chen's father had a friend named Xie, and the two families agreed early in the morning that if Chen's mother gave birth to a daughter, the two families would marry her. Therefore, Chen Jiao was born and had a fiancé two years older than her.
When Chen Jiao was five years old, the epidemic prevailed in her hometown. Chen's father and Chen's mother got sick one after another. In order not to pass it on to her daughter, the couple sent a servant to send her daughter to the Xie family overnight and asked the Xie family to help take care of her. The Xie family had no choice but to do so. The little Chen Jiao was outside, thinking about her parents every day, but unfortunately her parents couldn't survive and both died.
Chen Jiao became an orphan. Because the Chen family had no other relatives, the Xie family took in their prospective daughter-in-law and kept them at their own home.
Chen Jiao and her fiancé Xie Jin are real childhood sweethearts. Chen Jiao is weak and sick, and is a sick person. It’s a pity for outsiders to take care of the Xie family. With such a sickly daughter-in-law, Xie Jin’s mother, Du, loves Chen Jiao very much and treats Chen Jiao as her biological daughter. Every time Chen Jiao is sick, Du will feed her medicine and sweat with her hands.
Xie Jin also cared about Chen Jiao very much. That kind of care was more like the brother and the younger sister.
A few years later, Xie Jin's father went out to do business. When he met a bandit, he lost his goods and lost his life. The head of the family was gone. Du pulled his son who was studying and his sickly daughter-in-law alone. As the family gradually became empty, the life of the three of them became worse and worse. Du had to take some sewing work, and worked day and night, which made her in her thirties, but she looked haggard and as vicissitudes as a woman in her forties.
Life is so hard, God is not merciful. A heavy rain hit, and the street where the Xie family is located was flooded and homeless. Du finally thought of his deceased husband and a young aunt who married far away from Yangzhou. It is said that his life is quite rich, so Du brought his son and daughter-in-law to Yangzhou through mountains and rivers.
Xie, the lady of the Xie family, has to say that her life is really good. She married only a small vendor named Yu. The vendor is slick and used to being accustomed to being accustomed to being accustomed to being accustomed to being accustomed to being accustomed to being a slap. She went from selling combs and slashing heads to carrying loads, and became the shopkeeper of a silk shop. After working as a big shopkeeper for a few years, he opened a silk shop alone and the business was very booming.
Her husband is doing well, and Xie's belly is very prosperous. The first child gave birth to a son. Later, he gave birth to two girls in a row. He thought it would not work when he was old, but after a few years of rest, he gave birth to a pair of twin sisters.
The family is full of yin and yang, and Mr. Yu is very fond of his eldest son Yu Fugui. When Xiao Fugui was five years old, Mr. Yu invited an old Taoist priest to tell his son fortune. The old Taoist priest touched Xiao Fugui's head and then touched Xiao Fugui's arms and legs. After that, he said to Mr. Yu: "Make the young master's fortune prosperous and make the Yu family a prosperous family in Yangzhou, but it is not appropriate for the young master to get married early. If you get married early, your fortune will be broken. You have to wait for your 25th birthday before talking about marriage."
Mr. Yu and Mrs. Xie believed it to be true.
The old Taoist priest changed the name of Xiao Fugui, Yu Jingyao, because he was destined to be rich and not called Fugui anymore.
Mr. Yu and Mrs. Xie happily paid a lot of money.
From then on, the eldest son of the Yu family was named Yu Jingyao.
Yu Jingyao was smart and quick, and was also influenced by his own father's business methods. At a young age, he also learned the false and intrigue of businessmen. When he came to his family, he needed to flatter his guests. He was even more good at flattering than his own father. He helped his own father take on many big business. The buyer who suffered losses came to seek justice. Yu Jingyao changed from a smile to a ghost who was worried, and he made the miserable man unable to say anything and left in shame.
When Yu Jingyao was eighteen years old, Mr. Yu died of illness. Several other silk merchants in Yangzhou seized the opportunity and planned to swallow the Yu family's family business together. Unexpectedly, Yu Jingyao seemed to wear mourning clothes and bent on sending his father to his death. In fact, he had been on guard. Not only did he not fall into the trap, he used the plan to destroy the three powerful enemies. From then on, the Yu family became the largest silk merchant in Yangzhou City, making a fortune every day.
Xie was very pleased when her son was doing business, but she wanted to hold her grandson even more. Therefore, as soon as Yu Jingyao celebrated his 25th birthday, Xie took care of his son's marriage in full swing, and then personally chose a girl who had a good family background, dignified appearance, and plump figure for her son.
Yu Jingyao devoted himself to business and the marriage was arranged by his mother. He was only responsible for visiting his father-in-law's house when he needed to show up. The next year, the wedding day was about to come, but the rope suddenly broke when the girl was swinging, and it broke when she reached the highest point. The daughter of the daughter fell high and died on the spot.
Xie secretly complained about bad luck with his son.
Yu Jingyao thought to himself, his mother talked about her fiancée's butt every day and was so big that she could not bear the burden and break the rope?
No matter what the reason, the older two younger sisters have married and had children. The first marriage that Yu Jingyao finally hoped for was ruined.
Some people say that Yu Jingyao's will defeat his wife, but Yu Jingyao doesn't believe it, Xie doesn't believe it, and the families who are greedy for the wealth of the Yu family don't believe it.
When Yu Jingyao was twenty-six years old, Lord He, the prefect of Yangzhou, took the initiative to become a matchmaker, wanting to marry one of his illegitimate daughters to him.
At that time, Yu Jingyao had never seen the concubine's lady. He didn't know whether she looked beautiful or ugly, but so what about beauty or ugly. Lord He wanted to use his wealth to manage nobles in the officialdom in order to continue to be promoted. Yu Jingyao also wanted to rely on the government and do a bigger and smoother business at home.
He picked up the wine cup and he agreed happily.
As a result, at the end of the year, Lord He's first wife vomited blood because her husband took another beautiful concubine. Yu Jingyao's fiancée, the illegitimate lady He Liu, had to mourn her legitimate mother, so their marriage would have to be delayed for another three years.
Yu Jingyao didn't care. Xie was worried. Three years later, his son was thirty years old. How could he have no children at this age?
When Du brought Xie Jin and Chen Jiao to join the Yu family, he happened to catch Yu Jingyao going out for business. Xie was worried about holding his grandson.
Eighteen-year-old Xie Jin has a tall figure, red lips and white teeth. She is a very elegant young man. When Xie saw such a nephew, she was happy at first. Then she learned that Xie Jin had passed the exam for the scholar and was about to take the exam for the juren this fall. Xie was even more satisfied. What is money? She has endless money to spend, and raising more three people is just a drizzle. Her family is going to have a juren or even an official. Xie is proud!
Xie personally arranged for Xie Jin to live in the front yard, Du and Chen Jiao to live in a small yard in the back house together.
When Chen Jiao woke up instead of her original body, it was the second day after they moved into the Yu family.
Because Chen Jiao covered her head and didn't say anything, the maid Shuang'er ran to invite Du to come.
"What's wrong with you, Jiaojiao? Don't scare aunt." Du sat beside the bed and held Chen Jiao with both hands.
Chen Jiao looked up and followed, she saw sincere concern in Du's eyes.
Memories tell Chen Jiao that Du really regarded her as her own daughter. She loved her so much that after Xie Jin passed the imperial examination, she wanted to regret her marriage and instead married Yu Lan, the third girl of the Yu family, and her own son. Xie took turns to persuade him. Du firmly disagreed and insisted that Xie Jin abide by Chen and Xie families' promises to marry Chen Jiao.
Xie Jin, who was originally devoted to her childhood sweetheart, was weak and sick. She was not only moved Du's protection, hoping to marry Xie Jin smoothly, but also secretly hurt Xie Jin's love for someone else. This injury made her even worse. Xie invited the best doctor in Yangzhou to treat her. Chen Jiao took medicine and became even worse.
Du's heart was about to break. When the doctor announced that Chen Jiao could not last for three months, Du asked his son to marry Chen Jiao and was happy.
Xie Jin couldn't resist his mother and had to agree.
On the night of the wedding night, the newlyweds died before they had finished their marriage. They had no real husband and wife, but died as a wife of Xie.
Looking at Du and thinking about what happened to the original body, Chen Jiao felt cold all over her body.
Her second life is much worse than her first life! The original body may not understand, but Chen Jiao was framed by the queen's sister first, and then experienced Wei Qingcang's two plots in the first life. So after reading those memories, Chen Jiao guessed that the original body's condition worsened later, and it must be Xie or Xie Jin who tampered with her medicine.
Chen Jiao didn't know what happened after the original body died, but she was sure that Xie Jin must have married Yu San Miss Yu Lan.
Let the old husband or new husband be devoted to her?
Chen Jiao gritted her teeth and said, Xie Jin, the old husband who is not considered an old husband, would not marry him again if she didn't want to live!
"Auntie, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare and my face was coming."
New body was soft and weak, so Chen Jiao lay down slowly and smiled weakly at the honest woman beside the bed.
Du took out a veil and asked while helping the little girl wipe her sweat, "It's really okay? If it really doesn't work, let's go and invite a doctor."
Chen Jiao's body shook. The one she dared to look at the most now was the doctor!
"It's really okay." Chen Jiao laughed, "Auntie, we are just a newcomer, so don't cause trouble for our grandma."
Du thought about it, and last night, her aunt Xie talked to her and mentioned Chen Jiao. Xie revealed some dissatisfaction with Chen Jiao's illness. I think Chen Jiao was tired and tired from the road, so she could get off the ground and walk around after two more days of rest.
Du sat by the bed for a while, and when Chen Jiao fell asleep, she told Shuang'er to take good care of the girl and then leave.
Chen Jiao actually slept in a fake way. She needs to be calm now, and she is really not in the mood to deal with Du Shi.
After laying blankly for a moment, Chen Jiao asked Shuang'er to bring the bronze mirror over.
Shuang'er carefully brought up the bronze mirror.
Chen Jiao leaned against the head of the bed and looked into the mirror.
This mirror was much clearer, but when Chen Jiao saw the woman in the mirror clearly, she was stunned. In the memory given by the Bodhisattva, she had already seen the original body, but she felt far less intensely.
Chen Jiao is a beautiful woman with a beautiful country. No matter how beautiful she is, she will not be surprised or amazed. However, in the second life, she was probably because her parents died and were living under someone else's roof. There was a lingering faint sorrow in her eyebrows. The thin willow-leaf eyebrows, pure, moist but timid almond eyes, leaning on her sickly, even if Chen Jiao looked at her, she couldn't help but feel pity.
Why doesn’t Xie Jin feel merciless about her like this?
Chen Jiao couldn't figure it out, but fortunately she had some experience. Men liked beauty, but the beauty of light was far from enough to make them devotedly.
"Girl?" Shuang'er looked at the mirror strangely, not understanding what the sick beauty was doing, and seeing that she was so amazing?
Chen Jiao smiled bitterly and lay down again and said, "Put it back, I'll continue to sleep."
She wants to keep this body well, otherwise she will not be able to escape from the wolf's nest.
Fortunately, after a good night's sleep, the next day she felt good and didn't feel sick. It was just that her original body was too weak. Chen Jiao just walked around the yard and felt exhausted.
"What do Jiaojiao think today?" Du asked softly while having breakfast.
Chen Jiao nodded: "It's much better, Aunt Lau has to worry."
Du smiled: "Silly girl, why are you polite to me? By the way, your cousin is back today. You are ready to meet you later."
Cousin?
Chen Jiao was stunned for a moment before she realized that, yes, Yu Jingyao, the leader of the Yu family, isn’t Xie Jin’s cousin? Du has already regarded her as her daughter-in-law and used the same title.
