Xie Jin failed the exam.

The two servants came back with bad news to report.

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

There was no need for the servant to speak. When the two servants looked at the depressed faces, the result was self-evident.

Xie's face was even whiter than Du. Xie really liked Xie Jin and wanted to marry his daughter to Xie Jin, but his son had already left the words ahead. Xie Jin's failure in the exam meant that the marriage would be bad.

The third girl Yu Lan looked at Xie Jin worriedly.

Du's eyes were already red.

On the contrary, Xie Jin was actually ready to lose the election. In the half month of the autumn test, he was so cold that he couldn't even pick up his pen and write. After the last examination, Xie Jin had already expected the results today.

"I'm not afraid. Zichun is just bad luck this time and is in bad health. With Zichun's talent and learning, he will be the winner in three years and he will definitely be on the list."

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

Du lowered her head.

Xie secretly observed his son, saying so nicely, was he true or casually?

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

Yu Jingyao nodded.

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

Xie called her son, and the mother and the two said alone: ​​"Jingyao, Zichun is only eighteen years old, and it is still young and promising to take the exam three years later. What do you think?"

Yu Jingyao said: "You cannot be confused in your seniority. If Zichun marrys his sister, even if he becomes an official in the future, his colleagues only need to impeach him and marry his cousin to violate human ethics. Zichun will be exempted from office or serious, and he will be imprisoned. Is this what my mother wants to see?"

A woman who made a fortune by relying on her husband did not understand the officialdom. She was stunned when she heard the spokesperson. After a while, she asked: "Yes, but why didn't you object to me when I mentioned this to you?"

Yu Jingyao did not object because he wanted to take advantage of his sister's confusion. Xie Jin's greed prompted Xie Jin and Chen Jiao to break off the engagement. Now he objected because he did not want Xie Jin to be his sister-in-law, which would be a lifelong eye.

Since my mother couldn't guess, Yu Jingyao lied casually and said seriously: "Before the list, I was eating a meal with Mr. Qi, and mentioned my sister's marriage. Mr. Qi told me a reason, and I finally made up my mind. Mom, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore. If the third sister can't think about it, please persuade me more."

Xie was upset.

On the other side of the guest room, Du's tears that had been endured in front of everyone for a long time, and finally fell down while the mother and the mother were alone.

During this trip to Yangzhou, she lost Jiaojiao, the prospective daughter-in-law. Now that her son has failed the exam again, what hope will he have in the future? Let's continue to stay in the Yu family for free and eat and drink? If he didn't know Yu Jingyao's true face, Du could still accept the help from his relatives, but she knew that when he thought of Yu Jingyao's forced Jiaojiao, Du never wanted to stay in Yangzhou again.

She wanted to go back to her hometown, so she would rather live in poverty with her son than be greedy for the prosperity of the Yu family.

"Zichun, what are your plans in the future?" After wiping off his tears, Du looked at his son standing by the window with his hands behind his back.

"Mom, I want to go home." Xie Jin turned around, his expression very calm, not an angry statement.

When he came over, Xie Jin sat down 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 we are now, but we don't have to rely on anyone. Without those worldly distractions, my son can study more attentively. When his son passes the exam, my mother will not have to endure hardships."

The mother and son thought of one thing, and Du was very happy, but there was a problem: "I'm back, what should I do if you get married to the third girl?"

Xie Jin smiled bitterly.

After learning that Jiaomei was going to marry Yu Jingyao, Xie Jin seemed to be trapped in a dream. There were everyone he knew in the dream, but those people were just shadows and could not be seen clearly. Until the list was released today, everything suddenly settled. Looking at Yu Lan again, Xie Jin had long lost his original heartbeat.

It was like walking around the wrong path, Xie Jin returned to the origin.

He just felt sorry for the Jiaomei and the deceased Chen family elders.

"I will explain clearly." Xie Jin lowered his eyes.

The next day, Xie Jin asked to meet Xie, Yu Jingyao, and Yu Lan.

Everyone was here, Xie Jin stood in the middle of the hall and looked at Xie and said, "Grandma, thank you for your respect. I have treated me like my biological child in the past six months. Unfortunately, Zichun was fascinated by the wealth of Yangzhou. He was so confused that he had been thinking about it all day long that he was abandoned, which led to his reputation being lost. Last night, Zichun couldn't sleep all night, and after thinking about it, remembering what Mencius said, 'Born in distress, died in peace', Zichun suddenly realized and decided to go back to his hometown to study hard. Today I came to say goodbye."

Yu Jingyao glanced at him unexpectedly.

Yu Lan couldn't believe his ears and asked with tears in his eyes: "You, are you leaving?"

Xie Jin gave her a big gift and said guiltily: "Zi Chun was confused. When she first met her third cousin, she had the idea of ​​marrying her. Then she betrayed her faith and regretted her marriage. I think it would be a retribution for the failure to be elected today. After Zi Chun returned to her hometown, she would study hard behind closed doors and no longer be greedy for any love for her children. The third cousin still forgot about me, a villain."

"Tell me again!" Yu Lan did not want to forget and stood up crying.

Xie Jin apologized again and turned around and left.

"I don't allow you to leave!" Yu Lan wiped his eyes and was about to chase him out.

"Stop!" Yu Jingyao stopped his sister coldly.

Yu Lan turned around.

Yu Jingyao looked stern: "I still think I haven't lost enough people, right?"

Yu Lan could not bear such an unpleasant reprimand. She was crying more and more. Xie felt sorry for her daughter and quickly helped her to the inner room to comfort her.

Yu Jingyao sat there for a moment, then went to the guest room.

Du and Xie Jin had packed up their bags and were about to go out.

Yu Jingyao knew that the mother and son had decided to leave, so he did not say politely again, and only asked them to stay for another night and leave tomorrow morning.

Every time Du saw him, he felt very complicated and hid behind his son.

Xie Jin hated Yu Jingyao first, but then became more open-minded. In the final analysis, he changed his mind first. Otherwise, as long as he did not break off the engagement, as long as he insisted on protecting Jiaomei, he would also follow her when she moved out, and Yu Jingyao would not have the chance to bully Jiaomei. Later, Yu Jingyao would rather retire with the prefect's family for Jiaomei, and he also protected Jiaomei after marriage. Compared with the two, Xie Jin felt ashamed, so he only had blessings for the two.

At the same time, Xie Jin was also grateful to Yu Jingyao. It was Yu Jingyao who let him see himself clearly and see clearly that he could return to the road in time.

"Cousin, we won't stay, otherwise we will say goodbye tomorrow morning and we will only have another sorrow of separation." Xie Jin said with a smile, calm and gentle.

Yu Jingyao only felt dangerous. He looked down on Xie Jin in the past. Now Xie Jin shows such a mind. It is inevitable that he will be promoted to an official in the future. What if Xie Jin remembers his revenge for taking his wife one day, will he kill him and come back to trouble him?

At that moment, the four words "cut off the weeds and roots" popped up in Yu Jingyao's heart.

At this moment, Xie Jin took a few steps forward and whispered to him: "Cousin, I grew up with Jiaomei. I have always treated her as my own sister. When I parted today, my mother and I will most likely never return to Yangzhou again. Jiaomei has no relatives here. I hope that my cousin will pity her and protect her and not let her suffer again."

Yu Jingyao lost his mind again.

Xie Jin retreated and bowed, "Goodbye."

After saying that, he held Du's arm and the mother and the two left side by side.

Yu Jingyao looked at Xie Jin's back, and the young man was wearing a blue shirt and straight, just like the gentleman mentioned in the book.

Yu Jingyao suddenly remembered what Chen Jiao said when he asked him to recite the Analects of Confucius: "I like gentlemen. Although Mr. Yu is not a gentleman, he still has the opportunity to correct his mistake..."

Yu Jingyao settled down.

Xie Jin was sick, and he ordered people to make trouble in Xie Jin's meals. Yu Jingyao did not regret it. He was always a villain. How could he give Chen Jiao's ex-fiance the opportunity to turn over and become an official and ride on his head? Just like now, he can also arrange people to pretend to be robbers, break Xie Jin's arms or legs, and make a lasting disaster.

But Xie Jin played the gentleman's trick with him.

Yu Jingyao sneered. He could never be a gentleman in his life, but he was willing to give Xie Jin a chance. In the future, Xie Jin really came back to seek revenge. If he had a good time with Xie Jin, Yu Jingyao would not believe that he would lose to a scholar who was powerless. The prefect of Qi and the princes of the Duke's Mansion were all played with by him. Xie Jin was not afraid.

Xie Jin and Du left, but Chen Jiao still got the news from Yu Jingyao.

Yu Jingyao looked at her calmly.

Chen Jiao raised her eyes and saw him like this, Chen Jiao only asked: "What should I do if my third sister?"

"Are they leaving, aren't you sad?" Yu Jingyao asked without answering.

Chen Jiao had nothing to be sad about. She came halfway through. The one who had deep feelings for Du and Xie Jin was the dead original body. For Chen Jiao, Du cared about her and she respected her. Xie Jin broke the engagement. Anyway, she didn't like Xie Jin. Her anger for the original body was calmed down with Xie Jin's failure.

Now it seems that Xie Jin can give up the wealth of the Yu family and his nature should not be too bad. Instead of wasting his feelings on parting with two strangers, Chen Jiao would rather worry more about himself. If Xie Jin had not poisoned his original body, the real murderer would definitely be among the Xie family and Yu Lan. In other words, there is a vicious person who often kills people in this Yu family mansion.

"You think I'm sad?"

Chen Jiao stared at Yu Jingyao and asked, "She has so many things to worry about, but this man actually came to test her feelings for Xie Jin."

Yu Jingyao hummed.

Chen Jiao really doubted Yu Lan. In order to find a backer or to make Yu Jingyao happy, Chen Jiao shrank into his arms with a small bird and leaned against Yu Jingyao's chest and said, "To be honest, will the third sister think that Xie Jin left has something to do with me marrying you? What should I do if the third sister took her anger on me? She didn't like me at first."

Yu Lan was dissatisfied with Chen Jiao. Of course Yu Jingyao knew, but the main reason for Xie Jin's departure was obviously that he failed the exam. The third sister shouldn't take her anger on Chen Jiao, right?

"Thinking too much." Yu Jingyao smiled and rubbed Chen Jiao's head.

Chen Jiao is full of worries.

In Yong'an Hall, Yu Lan, who learned that Xie Jin had left without saying goodbye, lay in his mother's arms and cried, crying very sadly.

Yu Lan is a daughter of a businessman. Although she is rich, she occasionally comes into contact with the children of a businessman. Most of them are still wine bags. Yu Lan looks down on those people. Xie Jin and Yushu are gentle and elegant in the wind. Yu Lan falls in love with her all at once. It took so much effort to get Xie Jin's heart, but Xie Jin leaves and leaves without any souvenirs for her.

"Mom, my heart is about to be broken." Yu Lan said even more.

As a mother, what can she do? She can only try her best to comfort her daughter and tell her if she catches her, even if she is just a guess.

"Men are all very proud of their face. Zichun failed the exam. He has no face to face you again, not because he doesn't have you in his heart."

"I don't care whether he won the championship or not!"

After failing to comfort the first time, Xie brought out the reason that his son said was against human ethics.

Yu Lan cried: "He just doesn't like me anymore, otherwise why wouldn't he be afraid of being impeached at the beginning?"

Xie was almost helpless, racked his brains and tried for the third time: "Actually, it's better for Zichun to leave, otherwise he would have had an engagement with your sister-in-law. If he marry you and becomes a family in the future, you will be embarrassed once you see him, don't you?"

Yu Lan, who kept crying, suddenly raised her head and asked with swollen eyes: "Does he say he doesn't marry me, is he trying to avoid his sister-in-law?"

Xie:...

She just said it casually, and she didn't think too much about it.

However, when facing his daughter's tears, Xie had to respond: "Yes, Zichun still likes you, but you two have no fate. Since he has left, Lan'er should not think about it. Forgot him sooner. Then my mother will choose a better one for you. If you like scholars, my mother will choose you from the talents in Yangzhou..."

Xie said a lot, but Yu Lan didn't listen. Only Chen Jiao's shadow was left in her mind.

If Chen Jiao hadn't married his elder brother, Xie Jin wouldn't have to be afraid of anything. If Chen Jiao hadn't charmed his elder brother's heart, Xie Jin would have left, the elder brother would have kept her, her own sister. My mother was right. All of this was all because of Chen Jiao's charming son! A poor orphan who had no father and mother, what qualifications did Chen Jiao have to marry into the Yu family, and what qualifications did Chen Jiao have to enjoy the wealth of their Yu family for free?

She is not worthy!

Yu Lan grabbed her sleeves, her eyes filled with endless resentment.
Chapter completed!
