When both men and women are from similar families, they usually choose to go out for blind dates, or to enjoy flowers in famous gardens or listen to scriptures in temples. It is best for young ladies to meet each other. If they feel that they are not in line with each other, they will call the matchmaker to pass the message in the middle, and everyone will be good-looking in terms of face. If the man comes to the woman's house to offer her a visit, but she hasn't fallen in love with her, it will be embarrassing.

Through the matchmaker's errands, Chen Jiao and Qiao's mother made an appointment to meet at Dayan Temple.

Dayan Temple is located in the middle of two county towns, and the route is suitable for both sides.

After discussing, Chen Jiao persuaded He Mingzhu once, but He Mingzhu disagreed without hesitation. Chen Jiao asked Huo Ying to persuade him again. I don’t know what the two of them said, but He Mingzhu actually agreed.

Chen Jiao has always regarded Ho Ying, He Wei and He Mingzhu as a group. He Mingzhu was willing to listen to Ho Ying's words, so she didn't think much about it.

As the Double Ninth Festival approaches, the autumn is clear and the weather is cool. Chen Jiao and He Mingzhu go out in a carriage. The maids follow the carriage, and Huo Ying rides a horse and guards next to Chen Jiao's carriage.

Chen Jiao looked out through the gaps in the curtains. Ho Ying on the horse was wearing a dark round neck robe, and his heroic posture was vigorous and serious and steady.

Chen Jiao was quite satisfied. Ho Ying was so arrogant at her at home. When she went out, she was willing to cooperate with her to play the role of a kind mother, a filial son, and she was considered a general idea.

In the carriage behind, He Mingzhu looked at Huo Ying's upright back in front of her, and the more she looked, the more aggrieved she felt.

She liked Ho Ying, and she liked her when she was just ignorant of her feelings. Last year, she couldn't help but embroidered a purse to send Ho Ying to show her goodwill, but Ho Ying refused sternly and used the siblings' style to deal with her. He Mingzhu disagreed, and was not a real sibling. She didn't change her surname, so what if she married her?

Now Ho Ying was bewitched by her stepmother and persuaded her to get married early. Anyway, He Mingzhu had already made up her mind. No matter whether Mr. Qiao was good or not, she would not agree. She didn't believe that her stepmother dared to force her to get married.

After about an hour of traveling, the carriage finally arrived at the foot of Baiyun Mountain.

Baiyun Mountain is not high, Dayan Temple is located halfway up the mountain, just a quarter of an hour's walk.

Chen Jiao left the He family's mansion for the first time and regarded this blind date as a trip. He Mingzhu and Ho Ying walked behind, and she was strolling in the garden, with a yellow wild chrysanthemum blooming on the gables, and she had to look at it for a few more times. From behind, the little woman was wearing a red shirt and a white skirt, with a white and tender side face. If it weren't for the woman's bun on her head, just looking at her light and agile manner, outsiders would have misunderstood which daughter she was.

"Pretending." He Mingzhu murmured in a low voice.

He Mingzhu herself is a beauty, and she was originally very proud of, but the young stepmother she married her father halfway home was beautiful and demonic. Wherever the stepmother appeared, men could no longer see others. He Mingzhu, who had become a green leaf, naturally disliked this stepmother even more.

He Mingzhu secretly looked at Ho Ying beside her. Seeing that Ho Ying looked ahead without even looking at her stepmother, He Mingzhu felt better.

Her brother Ho Ying is different from other men.

From the foot of the mountain to Dayan Temple, a pavilion was built halfway to serve the pilgrims for rest. Chen Jiao and Qiao's mother made an appointment to meet in the pavilion.

Close to the pavilion, Chen Jiao no longer enjoyed the scenery and acted like a mistress in the family.

In the pavilion, Qiao's mother and the matchmaker were sitting face to face. Young Master Qiao sat beside her bored. Hearing the words from the mountain road, the matchmaker looked over excitedly. Seeing Chen Jiao, the leader, the matchmaker immediately walked out of the pavilion and greeted enthusiastically: "Isn't this Mrs. He? Mrs. He also came to listen to the scriptures today?"

Chen Jiao smiled at her and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to meet my aunt here."

The matchmaker waved and invited him, "Mrs. He came here to sit down, let's take a break and then continue climbing up."

Chen Jiao agreed happily.

The pavilion is not big, Chen Jiao, Huo Ying and He Mingzhu are here, and the maids are staying outside.

Qiao's mother stood up and nodded to her.

The matchmaker first introduced to Chen Jiao: "This is Mrs. Qiao from Huichunfang, Lin County, and this is Mr. Qiao."

Chen Jiao smiled at Qiao's mother, and her eyes fell on Mr. Qiao's face.

This young master Qiao is eighteen years old and is not as tall as Ho Ying, but he is tall and handsome...

Chen Jiao suddenly frowned. What kind of eyes should this Mr. Qiao look at her?

Mr. Qiao looked at Chen Jiao with a straight look, as if the poor man saw the golden ingot, and the hungry man saw the big roast duck.

He Mingzhu looked at it from behind and was very angry!

Although she didn't want to marry Mr. Qiao, now she has been on a blind date. Mr. Qiao is actually fascinated by her stepmother. What do you think of her?

Ho Ying's face looked even more ugly.

The matchmaker stood in front of Mr. Qiao in time and introduced Chen Jiao and the other two to Qiao's mother.

Qiao's mother was much more reliable than her son. After being amazed by Chen Jiao's appearance for a while, all her thoughts were transferred to He Mingzhu.

He Mingzhu calmed her anger in time.

He Mingzhu has a family background, appearance and education. Qiao's mother becomes more and more satisfied with her. She first praised He Mingzhu and was very kind when talking to Chen Jiao.

Huo Ying's expression was a little slow, and Chen Jiao also gave Qiao's face, not caring about Mr. Qiao's misconduct.

Sitting in the pavilion for a while, everyone moved to Dayan Temple, with the female family walking in front, and Mr. Huo Ying and Mr. Qiao walking side by side.

"I heard that Mr. Qiao has been a teacher since he was a child and has great medical skills?" Huo Ying began to inspect the man.

Mr. Qiao stared at Chen Jiao's back in front of him. When Chen Jiao tilted her head and talked to Qiao's mother, he looked at Chen Jiao's beautiful side face. Chen Jiao turned around. He looked at Chen Jiao's light waist while walking. Huo Ying talked to him. After asking for a second time, Mr. Qiao came back to his senses and responded perfunctorily: "It's just about the fur, just about the fur."

In just one short conversation, Ho Ying had completely rejected Mr. Qiao and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Mr. Qiao whispered to him: "That is really Mrs. He? She looks too young."

When I came to a blind date, I secretly asked about the woman's stepmother, and the playboy was just like this.

Ho Ying was too lazy to pay attention to it, but because of Mr. Qiao's words, he subconsciously looked at Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao happened to turn sideways and said something to Qiao's mother. The woman was wearing a water drop-shaped jade earring on her ears. The pendant shook gently. Against the backdrop of the green color, the woman's side face was as white as jade.

Chen Jiao felt that someone was looking at her, so she looked over curiously.

Ho Ying quickly looked away.

Mr. Qiao, who was also peeping at Chen Jiao, thought Chen Jiao was looking at him, and opened her mouth happily.

Chen Jiao disliked her so much that she immediately turned back.

This trip to Dayan Temple was not a pleasant one. When he returned to the He family mansion, Chen Jiao invited He Mingzhu and Ho Ying to Songhe Hall, and the maids sent them out.

"Mingzhu, what do you think of Mr. Qiao?" Chen Jiao asked calmly.

He Mingzhu frowned and said, "I don't like it."

In fact, she wanted to say "I think he seems to like his mother very much", but her upbringing does not allow her to be so presumptuous.

Chen Jiao asked Huo Ying again.

Ho Ying asked her back: "What do you think of Madam?"

Chen Jiao said regretfully: "Mrs. Qiao is kind and can be seen as a very kind person. The Qiao family has been practicing medicine for generations, has family property and is famous. If Mingzhu marrys her, her life will not be wrong. Unfortunately, according to my observation, Mr. Qiao is frivolous and is not a good candidate."

Even if Chen Jiao didn't want to improve her relationship with Ho Ying and the other two, she wouldn't force He Mingzhu to marry a playboy with conscience.

Ho Ying looked at her unexpectedly.

Chen Jiao smiled slightly: "You and Mr. Qiao have traveled all the way, what do you think?"

Ho Ying shook her eyes by her particularly flattering smile.

He couldn't figure out what the woman was selling in the gourd. He threw the poisonous woman into the water to punish her, but now the poisonous woman really looked like she wanted to repent. Ho Ying couldn't believe it. She just felt that she was hiding a knife in her smile and was brewing a more vicious conspiracy.

He lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What the wife said is very true. Mr. Qiao is definitely not a good match. If the matchmaker comes again, I will just refuse."

Chen Jiao nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Ho Ying and He Mingzhu stood up and said goodbye.

Walking out of Songhe Hall, He Mingzhu looked at Ho Ying and couldn't help complaining: "When will the eldest brother get angry with her?"

He Mingzhu was very happy when she didn't have to get married, but when she saw her stepmother and sweetheart sing together, He Mingzhu felt chest tightness.

"What does it mean to be in a mess?" Ho Ying asked with a frown.

He Mingzhu curled her lips and turned her head and said, "She asked me to go on a blind date, so you persuade me to go on a blind date. She disagreed with this marriage, and you also disagreed. Brother, she pretended to be nice to Brother Wei recently, and Brother Wei was almost deceived by her. Do you really think she has become better?"

Ho Ying didn't believe that a person would become so fast, but he didn't like Mingzhu's attitude when interrogating him.

"As time, people's hearts are revealed, she has changed her best. She is pretending. I have to see when she can pretend to be." Ho Ying said lightly, and after saying that, he strided towards the East Courtyard.

He Mingzhu looked at the man's merciless back and stamped her feet in anger.

September passed by. In early October, when Brother Lin was watching He Wei practice martial arts in the East Courtyard, he jumped high with excitement. He accidentally fell from the three-story stairs, his forehead was broken, and he swollen.

Brother Lin'er's wet nurse sent a maid to pass the message, and Chen Jiao suddenly remembered it.

In my memory, it was Brother Lin who was injured. He Jinrong was trying to sow the relationship between the original body and Ho Ying while visiting his nephew, and the two began to work together to deal with Ho Ying. In fact, the one who gave advice and harmed the people was He Jinrong. The original body stood foolishly on the surface and just cared about the bad reputation of harming Ho Ying for He Jinrong.

Because Brother Lin was not seriously injured, Chen Jiao did not recall how Brother Lin was injured. She had been thinking about how to use He Jinrong to gain Ho Ying's trust.

At this time, he heard the bad news. Even though he knew that Brother Lin was not seriously injured, Chen Jiao was still worried that she would not be able to do so, so she got up and rushed out.

Chen Jiao rushed to the east courtyard, and Ho Ying carried Brother Lin to the main courtyard, and the two groups ran into each other halfway.

"Mom..." After falling down, Brother Lin was very brave. He shook his head and said it didn't hurt. Now that he saw his mother, the boy's eyes burst into tears, his lips trembled pitifully, and he was still holding back his tears.

Chen Jiao felt very distressed, so she rushed to Ho Ying and reached out to hug her son in her arms.

Brother Lin cooperated with his mother and tried hard. When he got to his mother's arms, the boy buried his face on his mother's shoulders and cried secretly.

Chen Jiao held her son and instinctively scolded the wet nurse: "Okay, why did the Third Young Master fall?"

The wet nurse kneels down and admits her mistake.

He Wei was inexplicably guilty and lowered his head, afraid that his stepmother would misunderstand that he deliberately bullied his younger brother.

Ho Ying also felt that Chen Jiao was scolding the wet nurse openly, but in fact he was accusing him. However, he was indeed responsible for what happened to Brother Lin in the martial arts field.

"I blamed me for being negligent and didn't take good care of Brother Lin." Ho Ying took the initiative to take the blame.

Chen Jiao looked at him and was upset. She turned around and ordered the maids to invite the doctor. Chen Jiao focused on coaxing her son: "Brother Lin doesn't cry, mom will rub it, it won't hurt if it's rubbed it."

The voice was gentle like water, and it was a treatment that every child without a mother would be greedy for.

He Weibaba looked at the side face of the stepmother.

But Ho Ying's mind was the look that Chen Jiao turned around and threw it in front of him. The poisonous woman glared at him countless times, contempt and hated him, but just now, she had reason to take his anger on him, but there was no emotion in her eyes.
