After lunch, Yu Jingyao suddenly asked his mother: "Mom, I see that my cousin's wife, Zichun is wearing old clothes. How about you arrange it tomorrow? Otherwise, when the guests come, they would think we treat relatives badly."

Xie suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I expect that you are careful, Jing Yao don't worry. Tomorrow I will ask the embroiderer to make a few sets of clothes for them."

Because the elder brother only mentioned Du, Xie Jin, and Yu Xiang was afraid that his mother would forget Chen Jiao, he muttered in a low voice: "There is also Sister Chen."

Xie glared at her little daughter. Of course she knew she had to make new clothes for Chen Jiao. She just dissatisfied with her little daughter's closeness to Chen's orphan.

Yu Xiang bowed his head to eat.

Yu Jingyao continued: "I will take a hundred taels of silver from the account and hand it over to my cousin's wife. Zichun needs some friends when he goes out to meet. If we don't take the initiative, he will definitely not speak."

Xie was very happy that his son took care of her relatives in her parents' home so much, and he agreed.

The next day, Xie took the embroiderer to the front yard to measure the size of Xie Jin. After measuring, he gave Xie Jin 20 taels of silver and told Xie Jin that she would give Xie Jin 5 taels of silver every month from now on. Xie was poor when she was young, and after the Yu family became rich, Xie became more and more generous in spending money.

Xie Jin thanked him again and again.

Xie led the embroiderer to Du's side again.

After some refusal, Du asked the embroiderer to measure the size. After measuring her, the embroiderer would measure it for Chen Jiao.

"The girl's waist is so thin." The embroidered lady wrapped her soft ruler around Chen Jiao's small waist. After seeing the scales on it, even the embroidered lady who often measured the size of the people couldn't help but praise her.

Chen Jiao also felt that she was like a sick person in this life, but Chen Jiao was not happy at all, because although she was not sick now, her body was too weak and she would be tired if she walked a few more steps, which was not useful. She didn't look at herself every day. What she wanted was Lin Jiao's healthy body. She would still be fine when she walked back and forth in the town six miles away, and at most she would sweat a little.

She talked to the embroiderer. Xie glanced behind Chen Jiao and found that Chen Jiao's butt was not big at all. She saw that it was difficult to have a child, and a little disgust appeared in her eyes. Her son was the only seer of the Yu family, and Xie Jin was also the only seer of the Xie family. For elders who were looking forward to prosperity in their descendants, if Xie was chosen, she would definitely not choose Chen Jiao as her daughter-in-law.

After measuring the size, Chen Jiao stepped down. Xie gave Du's 100-two silver patterns, but did not mention another example every month.

One is the scholarly nephew and grandson who has the same surname as her, and the other is the niece-in-law of a foreign surname. The treatment given by Xie is naturally different.

But Du was already very grateful and wanted to kneel down for Xie. Xie smiled, said some polite words and left.

Du sat in a box containing a hundred taels of silver for a while, then hid half of it, and took his other half to find Chen Jiao.

"Aunt, what are you doing?" Chen Jiao was shocked when faced with a bag of silver that Du gave her.

Du said with emotion: "Before your parents passed away, they entrusted you to me, and entrusted all the Chen family's wealth to us to keep. When you grow up, you will give it to you. Later, your uncle died suddenly and owed a lot of debts. The Xie family's family's assets were filled in. It was not enough to pay it back. It was you who generously donated money and asked me to use the Chen family's share, so that we could overcome the difficulties. In the future, our family's food, clothing, and spend all your money."

Chen Jiao knew that memory, but she also knew that fortunately, Du was kind-hearted, even when his family was poor, he tried hard to make money to feed the sick seedlings of the original body, so that the original body could prolong his life. Otherwise, if Du was greedy, he would have cut off the original body's medicine and let the original body die by itself, and Du could save a lot of money on medicine.

"Auntie treats me like my biological child, so don't count it between us." Chen Jiao said sincerely.

Du wiped his eyes and smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about the mistress. Just now, my wife helped me with a hundred taels of silver, and I kept fifty taels. You can take these fifty taels and use them as dowry in the future."

Chen Jiao didn't want it first, but she really couldn't refuse. Chen Jiao suddenly thought that if she didn't marry Xie Jin, she would definitely find an opportunity to leave the Yu family in the future. She would have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, so...

"Aunt, you are my biological mother." With the silver in one hand, Chen Jiao leaned into Du's arms. From the age of five to sixteen, her original body and Du were really mother and daughter.

Du smiled and patted the little girl's thin back and said, "When Zichun is a juren, we will handle your marriage. Double happiness is coming, and you can change your words and call my mother as soon as possible."

Chen Jiao couldn't laugh immediately.

The Yu family owns the largest silk and satin farm in Yangzhou City and has raised a large number of embroidery wives. In just three days, the clothes of Du and the other three were ready.

Chen Jiao got two sets of spring clothes and two sets of summer clothes, and they used the best silk, which was no worse than what Chen Jiao wore in the Duke's Mansion.

"I'll wear this outfit when I go out tomorrow." Yu Xiang came to Chen Jiao to play with, picked out the white shirt, and came out with a green skirt. He said to Chen Jiao, "Sister Chen looks the best in this elegant color."

Chen Jiao didn't care about her clothes.

Yu Xiang wanted to dress up this fairy-like guest, but found that Chen Jiao had no jewelry. She sent her maid to bring all her jewelry boxes and picked several of them from it to Chen Jiao. The fourth girl from the richest man in Yangzhou City was even more generous in her actions. Anyway, she missed one, so she just wanted to ask her brother for money and buy it again.

Chen Jiao really didn't want it, and she couldn't resist the affection, so she had to accept it helplessly.

The next day, Chen Jiao changed into the white shirt and green skirt, picked up a white jade hairpin and inserted it on her head, and followed Du to Yong'an Hall.

After resting for a few days, Chen Jiao's face was still pale, not as red as Yu Xiang, but her eyes changed, less misery and cowardice of the original body, more agility and vitality of the flower girl. She changed into new clothes and walked slowly over with lotus steps, as if the fairy in the Heavenly Palace came down to earth, which made the people in the hall stunned.

Yu Jingyao was the first to serve tea sideways and looked away.

Xie Jin looked at the childhood sweetheart opposite in surprise, feeling that Jiaomei seemed to be different. In the past, no matter where they went, Jiaomei's eyes always fell on him, full of dependence, but today, Jiaomei was quietly guarding her mother, weak and dignified, and she didn't even look at him at all.

He stared at Chen Jiao, and Yu Lan saw him and pursed her red lips.

"Mom, then let's go first!" Yu Xiang ran over and took Chen Jiao's arm and said excitedly, "The spring is shining brightly, and she loves going out the house the most."

Xie reminded his daughter and said to his son: "I'll come back after a while, don't let your sister play crazy."

Yu Jingyao stood up and said, "I understand."

Du was stunned and his eyes turned around on Xie's mother and son: "Cousin is going too?"

If Yu Jingyao goes, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go there again?

Chen Jiao also gave up. Perhaps the merchant family did not follow the rules, but she felt it was strange.

Yu Jingyao looked at his sister with helpless eyes.

Yu Xiang smiled and explained: "Brother came back from Suzhou and didn't bring me a gift. Today I will punish him as a guard. Okay, it's not too early, so let's go quickly, otherwise you will have to wait in line after leaving the city later."

After the little girl finished speaking, she pulled Chen Jiao out.

Chen Jiao had no choice but to follow her footsteps.

In this case, Du Shi couldn't say anything else.

Xie Jin stood up, but before he could speak, Yu Jingyao said goodbye to his mother, and suddenly said to him: "Zichun study hard, and I will come back to play chess with you."

If Xie Jin wanted to go with him, he swallowed all the words without missing a word and said with a smile: "Okay, cousin will walk slowly."

Yu Jingyao nodded and turned around and left.

Seeing that Du seemed to be in a dilemma, Xie asked curiously.

Du said hesitantly: "I'm afraid that Jiaojiao will cause trouble for her cousin."

Xie thought to himself, since I am afraid of causing trouble, why did you agree with my daughter when she invited Chen Jiao last time?

As for whether it is appropriate for Yu Jingyao to travel with Chen Jiao, Xie never considered it at all, because she looked down on Chen Jiao with half of her eyes, so she instinctively felt that her son would definitely not like Chen Jiao. Like her, her son likes big butts and can be raised.

Chen Jiao and Yu Xiang got on the carriage together, and Yu Jingyao rode a horse to follow him.

Yangzhou, the legendary prosperous place in Jiangnan, sat next to the car window far away from Yu Jingyao, and Chen Jiao couldn't help but secretly lift a corner of the curtain.

They were walking on the main street, with shops on the street, which was already very lively in the morning.

Yu Xiang came over enthusiastically and introduced to Chen Jiao whatever he saw: "Chen Ji's crab roe bread is the best. Let's come here to eat it in the evening! Ah, Old Man Qiao's Yangchun noodles are also awesome..."

Chen Jiao was saliva rising when she said that, and she was greedy until she left the city gate and couldn't see the shop.

"parking."

Yu Jingyao's voice suddenly came from outside the window, and the carriage stopped immediately.

Chen Jiao looked at Yu Xiang. Yu Xiang turned his head and picked up the curtain. When she saw her brother jumping off the horse's back, she asked in confusion: "Brother, why did you stop?"

Yu Jingyao touched his forehead and explained: "Maybe it was too late to check the accounts last night. I was tired. I went to the car to take a nap."

Yu Xiang said "Oh" and didn't think much about it.

Chen Jiao was quietly biting her lip when she heard it. Although this was the Yu family's carriage and Yu Jingyao could use it at will, this business man is really too unruly, and she is in the car...

Before his thoughts came to an end, the curtain of the car had been picked up. As soon as Yu Jingyao raised his long legs, he bent down and stood outside the car door. His tall and burly figure was like a mountain covering the city.

There was a main seat in the carriage, and then Yu Xiang placed a three-story cabinet to hold temporary items such as tea, pastries, handkerchiefs, etc., and a side seat next to Chen Jiao.

When the master came in, Chen Jiao immediately moved to the side seat and gave the master seat to Yu Jingyao.

Yu Jingyao did not move and bent down to look at her: "Miss Chen, please be polite, I can just sit here."

Chen Jiao lowered her head and said, "You are the master, I am the guest, so that should have been."

Yu Jingyao's lips raised slightly, and he was no longer polite. He walked in and sat down with Chen Jiao's original seat steadily.

There was a big man in the car, which immediately became narrow. Yu Xiang felt that it was inconvenient to speak from Chen Jiao, so she changed seats with her brother.

Yu Jingyao didn't care, as if he was really sleepy, leaning against the car board, supporting the window edge next to him with one hand, then holding his head and closing his eyes. The direction he faced was Chen Jiao. But he would definitely be in this position when he wanted to sleep, so Chen Jiao could not be sure whether he did it on purpose or unintentionally.

But Chen Jiao felt awkward, Yu Guangzhong's man's big face was facing her, as if he was looking at her.

Once when talking to Yu Xiang, Chen Jiao looked over secretly and quickly found that the man's eyes were closed, and he was really sleeping.

Chen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Chen, look."

Yu Xiang suddenly pointed out the window and said.

Chen Jiao turned halfway and saw a river not far away, and a black-sailed boat was slowly walking on it.

"Is there a lot of rivers in Sister Chen's hometown?" Yu Xiang whispered to her.

Chen Jiao shook her head and looked at the black-sailed boat with her eyes focused on the blue sky and white clouds, small bridges and flowing water. Yangzhou is really beautiful.

At the other corner of the carriage, Yu Jingyao opened a slit slightly.

The little woman's chin was resting on the window edge, tilting her head, revealing a large area of ​​slender and fair neck.

Her skin was a kind of clear whiteness, and Yu Jingyao could even see the faint blue blood inside.

The throat rolled, Yu Jingyao wanted to taste it, what it felt like to kiss it on it.
